The deal

Chapter 19. Voldemort

Blake
I went to Ally's apartment and tried to talk to her, but I couldn't find her, so I confirmed with the same guy I bribed last time that she had left the building with a couple of girls and she hadn't come back.

I sent her several messages but she didn't answer but her phone was on. I knew she was ignoring me and I deserved it, but I wasn't going to stop insisting.

I was driving when my phone went off. I saw the caller id and it wasn't who I was expecting.

"Yes." I answered curtly.

"Hey Blakey." Alexandra said in her usual sick sweet tone.

"What do you want?" I asked harshly

"Jeez why are you so worked up? Alexandra asked and I rolled my eyes.

"What can I do for you Alexandra?" I asked trying to be nice.

"Did you forget about tonight? She asked back.

Shit.

I had completely forgotten about the dinner with the Hamiltons. That day was the dinner they organize every year in Emily's death anniversary.

"I'm sorry Alexandra. I'm not going to be able to go tonight." I explained.

"What? Have you already forgotten about her? You have never missed an anniversary Blake! I never thought you would forget about my sister." Alexandra said in a high pitch voice. I sighed and try not to snap at her.

"Look, Alexandra I will never forget Emily but I'm moving on. It's been five years and I can't keep doing this anymore. I love your parents and I will always care for them but I won't go tonight or any other time. I'm sorry" I said.

"You are an idiot!" She yelled and hung up the phone.

I parked my car in front of Ally's building but the lights on her apartment were off.

Fuck! Ally where are you?

I sent another message and called for the 20th time today. The result was the same. Message unseen and phone call ignored.

I banged the steering wheel and hit my head with it several times. I decided to go to my apartment and wait, but this was killing me. I was getting seriously worried when I called Ally's phone one more time at 3:00 am. This time the call was answered but it was not who I was expecting.

"Hello" said a girl's voice that didn't belong to Ally.

"Oh, hi." I said "Can I talk to Ally please?" I asked.

"She can't take the phone right now, do you want to leave a message?" She said yelling because of the loud music on the background.

"Is she ok?" I yelled too. "I'm Blake Ster..." I was saying but she cut me off.

"Yeah, she is... damn Ally, stop doing that! Put your head inside now!" She yelled and then I heard some giggles and laughter.

"Look Voldemort, I don't know you but I'm taking Ally to her apartment in 20 minutes. She'd need some help, so I'll see you there... oh and I'm Mel by the way." The girl said and hung up.

I jumped into my car and flew over the streets. I arrived to her apartment but no one was still there. I paced the hall one more time waiting for her to arrive, it had taken more than 20 minutes and I was about to call again when the elevator doors opened and Ally and another girl came out. I walked to meet them but halfway the girl who I suppose was Mel said something to Ally and walked back to the elevator.
