Splatter the Red Paint

Last Letter My Love

I sat in the cabin that i had been staying in with my mother for a couple of months now, i looked outside and from what i could see it had snowed all night and was now almost two feet high, i wasnt sure exactly where my mother had taken us but the view was nice i guess and she seemed be okay with the job she had, but she seemed off for a while. 

I opened my laptop and grabbed the blue USB i had sitting next to the table, i grabbed it and opened it to put the video i had made for lexis in, i was actually really happy to be showing her this, she would love it up here, she could actually escape from it all, even if i couldnt. 

I had a video made previously for her, it was of me walking around the hills and outside, talking to her and talking about my day and about what was around, i had gotten a small camera from a shop that was close by, it was quaint but i still didnt like it a whole lot up here. 

After packaging up the usb and put it in the mail box, my mother had come bursting threw the door like a mad person. Her coat was covered in snow, and she looked to have become one with the Eskimos from her outfit she wore, all fur, two scarfs, two hats, thick set of mittens, large pare of boots with thick socks. 

"THATS IT WERE MOVING BACK! I FUCKING HATE THIS SNOW!" i wasnt sure what had happened but i assume it wasnt good? 

"pack it all up Josh, were going home, this is ridiculous i want my old job back and i dont ant to stay here anymore." The smile on my face must of read my answer to her cause she just said "hurry up then" and went to her room. 

I ran off in the other direction and began packing all of my things up, all i could think of was how excited lexis was going to be when she saw me. She was probably going to cry no doubt. I loved that girl and there was nothing in this world that would stop me from having a life with her.

We drove for many hours, almost a whole day's worth. When we finally got to the house, it felt odd, felt almost cold.. I couldnt put my finger on it but i didnt care, i was ready to go back to school and see lexis. I grabbed all of the bags that were in the car and brought them inside, mother took the ones that were for upstairs and i took mine, she didnt like it a lot when i went upstairs without her knowing so i just put what i could in the kitchen then went downstairs to my area of the house, and unpacked all of my stuff. 

I looked around and i saw that there was definitely something off in here, i went to my room and saw there was a body print in the bed sheets, i wasnt sure if that was from me or from someone else.. i dismissed it and then saw the time, i had completely forgotten the time difference between where i was and here, and how now instead of being 9am is was in fact 2pm, it was already time for school to end, i said fuck it and just took my time unpacking. i planned it that night that i would go see lexis, it was going to be a big surprise for her, shes gonna love it. 

It was around 4 when i finally finished packing all of my things and was ready to go see lexis, while i was procrastinating i listened to my phone messages from lexis and literally just listening to them broke my heart, i needed to see her, i wanted to give her the biggest hug ever and squeeze the life out of her. 

I grabbed my shoes, and went out the back door, and headed towards lexis' house, i almost got lost on the way to her place, but thankfully as i was walking i remembered the signs and houses, almost like landmarks towards her house. As i got closer to her house, the more my heart began to race, no one was in the driveway, so i assumed the coast was clear to just walk in. 

When i got to the door no one answered so i just walked in and went right to her room. I knocked again at her door, but there was no answer, maybe shes asleep..

I opened the door and saw no one in bed except two letter, one with the word Mother, and the other said Josh. I picked up the one for me and began to read it.
