Worlds Apart

Chapter 16

I hug her then let go "Thanks, but I've gotta go" I say as I go out the door with Bexley close behind me "Wait, Kate! Were are you going?" She asks. I stop. "I'v gotta meet an old friend" I say as I go out the door completely and on the sidewalk. She catches up to me and stops me. "Wait, your not going to look for him are you?" she asks. "No, not now anyway" I say and continue running but once again she stops me. "Then were are you going?" She asks again. "If you really want to know then follow me but hurry there's not much time. "Ok" She says. We run into the woods and down the path to my house then we stop. "Why you'd go back to your house?" She asks. "I just got a feeling like it was pulling me back here,like I saw my house and the rose Nixon gave me" I say. Then I get it. "The piano!" I say as I rush into my house, up the stairs and into the room with my piano, and there they sit a big bouquet of yellow flowers with red tips onto of my piano. I stop dead in my tracks so dose Bexley after almost running into me. I slowly walk up to the roses I take one out of the jar and examine it carefully. "No thorns" I say. "Just the way Nixon would always give me roses...." I say. There's a long pause. As hold the simple rose in my hands. "You don't think it was him,do you?" I ask. "Girl, first you see this then it's true, and now the roses without thorns just like he did it and the color he would always give you! It has to be him!" says Bexley excitedly. "Kate he's looking for you, I mean come on these are fresh picked roses and they even have the faint smell of his cologne on them!" She continues. Then I hear Midnight again so I rush out side Bexley close behind me. I hug her then let go. "Is it true?" I ask. "Is what true?" Asks Midnight. "Is Nixon alive?" I ask with tension and worry in my voice. "I'm sorry Kate, that's something you have to discover for your self." She says and once again she fades away. "Kate what about Nixon's house lets go there." Says Bexley. "Ok" I say. "Well what are we waiting for?" She asks. We run there. I knock on the door. "Nix,are you there?it's Kate and Bexley we just came to see you" I say. We wait.Nothing. "Nixon?" I call. Nothing. I decide to go on in even if Nixon is alive and was in there he wouldn't mind. "Nix?" I call we search his whole house, nothing. Bexley and I meet in his kitchen. "Anything?" I ask. "No, you?" She says. I shake my head "Were haven't we looked?" I ask. "His bedroom and the horse stables, and your house." She says. "Alright bedroom first" We walk down the hall and turn right to his bedroom. "Wait here, ok" I say to Bexley. The door is closed. "Nix?Nix are you there it's me Kate, i'm coming in alright" I say after knocking on the door. I open the door slowly and walk in. "You can come in Bex it's ok" I call to Bexley. "Is he in there?" She asks. "No" I say. I look for clues,something, anything. We walk out. "Ok lets go to the stables." I say. We go there and search everything, but Jackson is acting different he keeps leaning his head towards something behind me. I pat his neck. "What is it boy?" I say he dose it again. I turn around and see it, a clue. " Bexley! come here I found something!"
