Jason picked me up from the shop in his car. He was equally tensed as me.
" Please don't ask anything J as I said Stacey shot her - that's all I know "
" I'm fucked up - so hard - damn hard " I gritted my teeth.
" Cool man we will sort out everything "
The car's quiet roar and the ticking of my watch were the only sounds that I heard.
My world was much darker now. Darker than the mid night streets and the pain endless. Emily's smiling face flashed across my mind. I cringed over the seat .
" Jake getup man you have got to be stronger " he patted me.
As Jason pulled in front of Stacey's home , I got down and trotted faster to the door with Jason behind.
" Stacey - Stacey ??" I knocked the door violently.
I looked at my watch it showed 12:30 AM.
" They must be asleep Jake "
I knocked on two more times furiously.
We heard the sound of lock open at last.
I raised up my hands in anguish to hit her. But it was her dad who opened the door." Where is she ? " I moved in pushing him aside.
" Stacey is not at home Jake " he said plainly.
No I shouted.
I ran upstairs to her room but there was no one around. I moved down desperately.
" Where the hell is she ? " tears rolled down this time as I shouted.
Jason put his arms around me trying to control my outburst.
" She hasn't come home for past three days Jake after David dumped her off "
Who is this David ? ' I thought.
Then I realised that he was the one that Stacey told me about getting married to.
" Her phone is switched off and I couldn't reach her in any way " his eyes welled with tears.
" But what happened ? Why are you searching for her ? " he asked curiously.
A loving father will never want her princess to be a killer ' The thought strike my mind.
" She didn't show up suddenly last few days so we were on a search " I managed.
Jason gave me a weird look.
" We will find her - No worries Mr Franklyn " I spoke calmly.
" The last time I took her to doctor he told me to take good care of her. And also he said she is not normal ' something is bothering her so much. But he didn't say exactly what was her problem. "
" I'm going to meet him tomorrow morning that's the only choice left now " he frowned.
I got the details of doctor and planned to visit him possibly in the morning.
We moved out after promising him that we will find her somehow and bring her back to him.
" Everything seems to be paranormal " I mumbled.
" Yes Jake we have to put an end very soon " Jason said as he kicked his car to life.
The whole night was tormenting. I didn't show up home. We both slept in the car actually tried to sleep. The dark was growing out slowly welcoming the dawn.
" What more is awaiting with this red morning sun to change my life " I thought.
Jason dialled up for doctor Nelson as the address said. He confirmed his appointment at 10 AM.
