Passion Suicide: An Aisly Addison Novel

Ch12: Tragedies

I woke up to silence. Alex was in the fetal possition beside me. I walked downstairs and on the counter was a note from Casey:

"Alex and Aye, I took Daisy out for breakfast, enjoy some peace! -Casey"

Huh. She's never done that before. And by that I mean offered alone time between me and Alex. NEVER since I've known her.

I opened the fridge to find another note "Also I'm buying dinner, you guys deserve something from me for once. -Casey, again"

I closed the fridge and put some coffee in the pot. I rummaged in the fridge for food, but it was useless, I decided on toast. This vegitarian thing had been a bad idea, I was loosing too much weight, and I hadn't yet tried tofu.

I popped some toast in the toaster and when it swooped out of the toaster, I spread butter on it. I sprinkled cinnimon and sugar on top, it was Alex's favorite!

I walked up stairs and Alex and I  walked to the kitchen together this time. All dressed for work, and ready to eat our toast and drink our coffee.

"So, like the toast?" I asked.

"Yeah its my favorite." she said.

"I know!" I replied.

We stared at eachother for a while, waiting for Casey and Daisy to arrive.

it got so awkward I felt sweat peeking out from the roots of my hair.

Alex grabbed my hand, and I smiled up at her. She kind of shook my arm around before she patted my leg and walked away.

I turned around and watched her stand at my window looking at something. I suspected one of the many buildings.

She pulled her hair back into a ponytail.

"Do you want to call Casey?" She asked.

"Sure go ahead." I said.

Alex called Casey.

"Casey are you almost here?"

"Ugh."

"oh?"

"Okay love you too, bye."

"what did she say?" I asked.

"She's on her way to the daycare to drop Daisy off...."

"okay, spectacular!" I beamed.

I twitched my finger signing for her to come to me.

She cocked her head and slowly walked towards me.

"what?" she smiled.

"Come a little closer." I said.

"okay," she bit her lip, and took another step towards me.

I winked and grabbed her hands.

I spun her around and we began to dance.

I could hear footsteps outside.

"What's wrong!?" Alex asked

"I thought I heard... Footsteps..." I said.

Alex's eyes doubled in size, as we heard more footsteps. They had been louder.... closer... than before.

Alex stiffened before she latched onto me, making me yipe.

we saw a man walk by to the house next door. He had a shovel, so I figured it was just a mistaken sound.

I grabbed my keys, and we drove to work. She was still so silent. I swear between Daley, Casey, Daisy and Alex, there hasn't been a quiet ride... since I've been able to drive.
