Fire Flower

chapter 3: the face

I looked at my mom who was struggling for air. I asked what was going on. She then said "That is jerold's number. He said one day he would come back for revenge. This is what he meant. He is coming for you but, if he is coming for you then why did he warn you about flowers? Maybe he is trying to trick you to tell you not to go near them so you would go near them. You never did listen to jerold you always did the oppisite.". I answer her by saying "Yeah I know I never respected him he hated both of us so I didn't listen to him because I didn't care to. I only cared if you were ok or not." She smiles and then looks with fear and asks "Who is going to fight him off? You know I can't.". I grab my phone and go to my chat with EJ and show my mom the messages. She then looks at me and says "EJ is a very small guy compared to him. Would he be able to protect us?". I reply with what EJ always tells the people that want to fight him. "It's like he says he may be small but he is really tough and good at fighting and protecting who he cares about.". She then tells me "Text him our address and tell him who it is. We will see if he will come.".
I text EJ and he tells me he is on his way over. He texts me all throughout the time that he is getting his plane ticket and getting onto the plane. He tells me about his feelings which is weird for him cause he is a keep to himself kind of guy but I can't lie I like that he is finally being honest with me. Out of all my friends he is the one that I was closest to. I was closer to him then I was with my friends that were girls. He told me he would text me again after the pilot said he could. I get a text about 10 mins later saying he is in the air. I then ask him a question "Can you send me a picture of you on the plane please?" He doesn't question it he just sends me a picture because he wants me to stay happy and positive. As soon as I look at the picture I see him and then my stomach drops at whats in the background....
