What Am I?

Chapter Nineteen: She's about to die!

BOBBY

Hours have passed and Time passed by like it was just like it was just a few minutes ago that Julian had crashed near the dumpster.

We told stories to each other about our past- mostly embarrassing ones. We're lying on the bed with quitness surrounding us. It wasn't an awkward silence, in fact it was nice and relaxing.

The feeling of worry and panic diminished as I can feel myself relax and forget about the world. It was the nicest sleep that I have had in a while.

This was the most intense feeling that I have ever felt in my life- Intense joy, Intense bliss!

And just as things seemed to be- to feel amazing life decides to butt in and ruin it. We both woke up to the sound of Julian's phone ringing and vibrating from across the room.

"Who could that be? It's too early for this." Julian complained as he got up and was walking towards his phone.

He answered it, "What?" He said grumpily.

"I'm on my way." He said then pressed the end call on his phone.

What was the call about? Is he really leaving? Who was on the phone? Where is he going-

"Don't worry." Julian said.

I felt a pair warm lips pressed against my forehead, "I'll see you soon."

He went out of the room and I was still sitting there processing what had just happened.

I looked at my phone and saw that it was 4:30 in the morning, I lied down again and tried to sleep.

I couldn't sleep! I tossed and turned trying to find a comfortable position to sleep in but my body was wide awake. I decided to start my day early, I went to the bathroom and took a bath.

While rinsing the soap and shampoo I could not help but think about Julian. What was the call about? Why would somebody call him this early in the morning? And more importantly who is he talking to?

Whatever they talked about seemed really important for him to leave me- or  am I not that important to him?

I could feel myself sink into self pity as I turn off the shower and pat myself dry. I got out of the shower and wiped the mirror.

I looked at myself, "Stop. Whatever it is you're feeling, stop it." I said to myself.

I got out and went to my room and got changed into a white shirt and some pants.

I studied real early this time because I know that I would be really busy for the whole day. After I finished the pop quiz that was sent to me I got my bag that was resting on the floor and went to the kitchen.

I opened the fridge and grabbed an apple and went to work.

As I got out of the building, the wind hit my face. It was colder than usual, I walked to work while munching on the apple.

I looked at the bright light shining from the clear windows of Monica and Winnie's hitting on the pavement but then the light that was shining on the pavement suddenly got dim.

"What?" I said clearly confused.

I went to the window and peeked on the small opening of the curtain.

This could get you in trouble. I thought to myself, but it's better than being confused. We're open 24 hours a day we only close the curtains whenever Alice says so and usually they close the restaurant-

"We need more!" Someone shouted.

I swear that I heard that voice before!

"She already gave you all of it. We don't have any left!" Shouted Alice. "Now, let me go!" She said squirming from two huge men holding her wrists behind her back.

"Your mother won't hide that long." He said. The guy walked around and when I catched a glimpse of his face I know who he is now.

It was Martin from the club! I stopped peeking and decided that it was safe to just hear what they were talking about.

"It was a mistake that she sold all of it to you." Alice said to Martin.

Martin then laughed, " Business is business."

"She didn't know that you were worse than your ancestors."

"That's on her." Martin said. "That's her fault."

I peeked again and saw that Martin's men held Alice's neck, "Let me go!" She said.

I dialed 911 on my phone, "911 what's your emerge-"

Please come to Monica and Winnie's 5 men are going to hurt a girl. Please come as fast as you can they're holding her by the neck!"

"Alright, please calm down-"

"Don't tell me to calm down!" I whisper yelled at her. "She's about to die!"

"Give us ten minutes. The rescue team are on their wa-"

"I can't wait for ten minutes!" I shouted.

"Look who we have here."

I turned around and saw Martin smirking at me.
