*almost 2 years later**
Anthony:
I guess I gave Chris enough time to think that everything was back to normal for him. I haven’t done anything to harm Chris in two years. I know that he’s not in California anymore. I don’t know where he is to be honest. All I know is that he was living with a woman and child while he was here.
No, I’m not going to hurt Skye or Jordan. Well I mean not unless they get in my way. They’re not who I’m after. I’m after Chris. He doesn’t deserve to live. And I will do anything to get to him and just end his life. I grabbed one of my beers out of the fridge and popped it open. After taking a big gulp of it, I stuck it back in the fridge and wiped my mouth.
“Baby, are you hungry?” my annoying ass girlfriend asked. I rolled my eyes. “No Laila, I don’t want anything to eat,” I answered her. She smiled and looked back at the TV. Something is up with her, she’s been acting funny lately. I shrugged it off and walked up the steps to go to sleep.
Skye:
I let out a deep yawn as my alarm clock buzzed. Time for work. I swung my legs out of the bed and sat there for a minute. Same routine every day. I slowly got out of the bed and walked into the bathroom. As I stood in the shower, my mind was racing everywhere. My mind is always racing all over the place these days. Life is like a routine for me now. I get up, go to work, come home, cook, go to sleep, and then I repeat. Well that’s the main routine. Since it’s summer time, I leave Jordan here with Aliya since she works from home.
How has things been going over these last two years? Well, I got promoted to manager of the salon. I guess that’s a good thing. Well not I guess, it is a good thing because with a promotion comes a raise plus the tips that get left for me which are easily over $300 every day now. So getting paid that good money I get paid by the salon plus the $300 tips I get from customers, well I can’t complain. I even still have money that… he left when he went away. He left a lot of money.
I let the hot water of the shower trickle down my body. Chris. Sometimes I still can’t believe that he’s actually gone. I can’t believe that I haven’t talked to him or seen him in two years. Sure enough, nothing strange has happened since he left so maybe him leaving was keeping us safe. But what about him? Is he safe? Is he alive? Is he doing good for himself? What about Kid Red? Where were they? He didn’t even tell us what state he was going to.
I sighed and turned the shower off. I miss him so much. When he left two years ago, the first couple months I was like a zombie. I cried every night, I walked around like I was a slug, and I just completely shut down. Well not completely because I still had to take care of Jordan but I was a wreck. Aliya was a wreck too but she wasn’t as much of a wreck that I was. It seemed like she knew something that I didn’t know that kept her strong.
Jordan… it took me a week to tell him that Chris is gone forever. I kept stalling and saying that he had to go do something somewhere else with his family but he didn’t believe me. When I finally told him that Chris left, he was extremely upset. For about a month he acted completely out of his character. He became really disrespectful and he even started cussing at me sometimes. I couldn’t believe it. He never ever disrespected me.
