Chapter 2
Keith P.O.V.
‘My name is Emily Kate Grainne Night. I was born on Friday the thirteenth of December ’96. The same date as you. I lived in Cork; two doors down from you. You and I were best friends; until three years ago, you went to college, I moved here losing all contact with you.’ I could hear the tears in her voice, even with her back to me. She pulled her sleeve up to reveal her wrist. ‘’I got this tattoo of us a week after I moved.’ She showed the tattoo to the teacher. It read ‘M.C. + E.N.’ the tattoo had a little red heart beside it. ‘I never forgot about you Mikey’ She sighed ‘I was the only one you ever let call you that. Everyone else called you Mike. If you don’t believe me, that’s your loss. ‘Somewhere in the middle of her speech the teacher had stood up. He walked towards her. Once he had stopped in front of her he gripped her arm. It looked like he had a tight grip on her.
She looked up at him silently.
‘Oh Ems!’ He embraced her in a tight hug. She wrapped her arms around him and sobbed quietly. ‘It’s you. It’s really you.’ The happiness in the teacher’s voice was evident. I noticed that they looked like they had known each other all their lives; and from the sounds of it, they had.
The teacher’s eyes landed on me and he nodded to the door, implying for me to leave. I nodded and quietly grabbed my bag, leaving the room silently. As I walked out the door I could feel a pair of eyes burning into the back of my head.
One guess who that was...
