Slowly Dying

Chapter 15

Nicole's POV

RING!

Mark was ringing me and I picked up.

"Nikky, someone's broke in and trashed our house, I've just rang mum and dad and they're coming home early from work, Stacey's already here." Mark said, sounding sad.

"I feel so bad, I'll start coming home." I muttered.

"Don't feel bad, it ain't your fault. And yeah you should come back and help us out please Nik." He said, before ending the call.

I got up and walked out the cafe. I slowly went home and helped Stacey and Mark to tidy up. I picked up glass pieces of the floor from the photo frame Chloe cracked. Stacey looked really upset.

"Are you okay, Stace?" I asked. 

"They stole my necklace with the diamond ring on it," She sobbed.

Stacey had a best friend who was friends with her since babies. Her name was Megan. Megan found out she had a brain tumour when she was 14 and that she was going to die within a few months. She never told Stacey but gave her a Forever Ring and that they'd be best friends forever no matter what. She died and left her ring for Stacey. Stacey had kept them both on a necklace chain in a box. I remember that Stacey was crying most times and she looked so sad and upset. Mum got her some counselling and she's learnt to cope with it.

Mark ran to Stacey and hugged her. I went to her and hugged her from the back. She sobbed into Mark's chest as he attempted to help her stop crying and comforted her. Dad came back and he saw Stacey and hugged her.

"What happened, love?" Dad asked her.  

"They stole the rings that Meg gave her," Mark said, answering for her.

"Oh god, heartless bastards!" Dad exclaimed.

"This is all my fault!" I whispered.

"None of this is your fault Nic, don't you ever think that," Mark said, holding onto me.

If only they knew...

Mum came back and she helped us all tidy everything up and rang the police. I went to my room and rang Adam.

"Hi, you okay?" Adam asked.

"I need your help." I said.

"What with?" He replied.

"Chloe barged into the house with her mates and stole a few things and wrecked our house, I need to just get back some rings," I said.

"Seriously, I could kill her," Adam exclaimed.

"I just need to get in her house and take the necklace, can you help?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'll pick you up at 9;00, just sneak out." Adam said.

"Thank you so much!" I said, content that everything was going to be alright.

I was going to get my sister's rings back.

9.00 pm

BEEP!!

I sneaked out of the house, my mum thought I went bed early, which is good. I was wearing my black Nike Air Max Trainers, a black Ellesse crop hoodie with a black T-shirt and black leggings. I wore everything black so I wasn't really recognisable.
