The Good, the Band, and the Beautiful!

Back to the Old Days

“Oh my God! What the hell did you do? What were you thinking? What if someone heard the gunshot? What the fuck!”

            “Calm down Leah its fine, it was bound to happen anyway.”

            “Jace how can you say that? What are we going to tell the police?”

            “After I told him that I adopted Izzie, he went crazy and decided his life wasn’t worth living anymore so he shot himself in the heart. We tried to stop him but there was no way we could.”

            “Jace,” I said slowly, “He was saying he knew something about Izzie. What if he knew where she is?” I couldn’t take it anymore, I broke down to the point of no return. I didn’t know what else to do.

            “Momma don’t be sad. We gon get sissy back, cuz we love her. And love strong.”

            "Come her baby-girl. I love you very very much, but I have to leave for a while okay? I have to go find you sister and bring her back to us.”

            “No Leah! If you walk out that door then you can never come back!”

            “Ha! This is my apartment!”

            “I will take Taylor and you will never see her again.”

            “Jace, my daughter is out there, do you want me to just sit back and do nothing when I could do a hell of a lot more than my dad?”

            That was when he broke down and when I walked out.

*~*~*~*~*~*

Driving through my old town was like driving through my memories. I had no idea why I was here but this is where I ended up. And then I stopped. I don’t know why I came here but I did and well I guess now’s the best time as any to tell the old gang (no pun intended) that there leader was dead, and his replacement was missing. Like I would let her replace him. Ha! That’s hilarious!

            Bang, bang, bang, b-bang. Slowly the door opened. “L-Leah is that you?”

            “Yeah Josh it is. I have something important I need to tell y’all and you’re not going to like it one bit.”

            “Well you see I cant do that. Mason said not to let you in unless you was with him.”

            “Mason’s dead, so unless you want me to bring his body here I suggest you let me in.”

            “Let her in Josh,” I know that voice from somewhere, but where exactly? I walk inside not knowing what to expect. “Hey sis how’s it going?”

            “Jake? What the hell are you doing here?”

            “Same as you baby sis, I’m here to get even.”

            “Get even for what exactly?”

            “Oh you know, stealing my sisters kid, selling drugs. The usual.”

            “You know who stole Izzie?!?!?”

            “Yeah and you’re not gonna like it either.”

            “Just tell me already!” I’m not very patient, am I?

            “His name is Jace,” No it cant be my Jace, “Also known as my little sisters fiancée.”
