Chapter 14

The long flight finally ended, 6 hours of torture. But I made a friend. Come to find out, Madeline was a runaway! She got off the plane with me, well snuck. She gave me her number and we departed.

I looked around for aunt Denise. I finally spotted her with her boyfriend Ricardo, he's Puerto Rican.

I walked over to them and they walked with me to baggage claim. I saw my bag come and I grabbed it, where is my little angel? I waited and waited, but still nothing. All of my boxes had even came but not my cat.What the fudge-sicle.

Once all the bags came and people left, there came a little white and red cat carrier, with baba's name glitter glued on the side. I'm pretty artistic, not to brag or anything.

I grabbed the carrier and looked in and she was asleep. Aww! But how can she be sleeping at a time like this. We grabbed a pushing cart thing and loaded my things onto it. We pushed it out to the parking lot and they parked in the most retarded spot ever...Denise unlocked her car and loaded things in. Ricardo threw me some keys.

"Your car is right there" he pointed to a shiny new black Fiat 500. Wow...a girl could get used to this

"Thank!" I said enthusiastically grabbing some of my things. I unlocked the door and put baba in the passenger seat and shut it. I popped the trunk and put in the boxes. I only had two and they just fit! I shut the trunk and walked around to the driver side and threw my backpack and beach bag in the back seat. I hopped in and waited for Denise and Ric to leave.

I saw them pull out and I followed, we headed down 3 levels and were soon back to ground level. I am so hungry. Oh shit I haven't checked my phone yet!

We came to a stop light and I pulled out my phone. I had 3 missed calls and 21 new texts?! All from Liam. Except one from my dad...he wanted to make sure I landed safely. Like he cares.

I clicked on the text from Liam.

From: Liam(:

-You better explain why you won't answer missy!

From: Liam(:

-Hello?

That was practically all he said over and over. I pressed call and it rang. He soon picked up and he sounded scared or nervous.

Hello? I said

What is up? Where have you been? He frantically asked

Calm down, it's a long story.. Just don't get mad okay? I said

Okay I won't, he said bracing himself

***

That phone call wasn't pretty, he is now ignoring me and won't even acknowledge me. Well then.

I saw Denise put her turn signal on and they pulled into a McDonalds. Thank the lord!

I put my phone in my pocket and grabbed my wallet. I still have $265 from my dad. Hehehe.

I grabbed my keys and got out and locked it. I followed Denise and Ric in and we ordered our food. I got a number 1, which is a Big Mac. And large fries and a diet coke. I grabbed my bag of food and walked outside to a picnic table where Denise and Ric were sitting.

"How was the flight?" Denise asked, sipping her iced tea

"It was good, long!" I said opening my burger

"Well we are glad to have you" Ricardo said with a wink

Eh..dafuq?

"You haven't seem most of it, but here in Milan is amazing. That's why I moved here" Denise said looking towards the road.

"It's pretty nice." I said looking down at my phone, no answer from Liam.

***

I snuggled up to my pillow, and was watching YouTube videos on my phone. It was 11:39 pm and I didn't want to sleep, I didn't even wanna be here. I got a text and it said I had gone over my 3G limit. Well then. I got off the app and tried texting Liam, it's our 1 week anniversary today. Way to make me feel special. Of course he didn't respond so I just gave up. I got out of bed and turned on the light. I opened a box and started unpacking my things. I put up my pictures on the wall and just decorated. When I finished my room looked pretty boss.

I heard the door creak open and it was Denise.

"Hey um, your cat got out and we can't find her" Denise whispered

"No...." I said running past her, I pushed through the door of our apartment and went down the steps. I looked both way. I didn't see her, it made it harder that she was black.

I ran across the street, I kept hearing noises. I peeked around the corner and saw a yellow cat fighting with something...it was...baba! I ran over and kicked the yellow cat and it went flying down the alley and hit a trash can. Yeah fuck you too!

I leaned down and felt a liquid, no....I picked her up and carried her towards the street. I ran and ran, I got to the sidewalk and my foot fell threw a drain. I fell forward and baba went in the road. I pulled and pulled but my leg wouldn't come out. I saw headlights and I started screaming.

I ripped my leg out and it ripped the skin right off. I ran in the street and pushed baba out of the way. I looked up and the bumper hit me in the face.

Blackness.
