The next day I woke still in my hammock and went into the kitchen I grabbed a bowl of ceral and just before I took a bite I was interrupted my a loud knock at the door. I sighed and set my bowl down waiting for the next knock. The happened again when I went to take another bite.
"Come in!" I shouted.
"Hey sis." Molly said while walking in with Wade following close behind her.
"Hi!" I said happily.
"We have to tell you something...." Wade said while sitting down.
"Is their a problem?" I asked as I sat next to Wade.
"Um... Yes and no." Molly said sitting on the other side of me.
"Come on then spit it out." I smiled.
"Umm....... It's about Mark........" Molly said then looked at Wade.
"Mark, is leaving for L.A as we speak....... His plane took off a little while ago." Wade played with his phone.
"Ok.....to like visit a friend?" I began to get confused.
"No....He moved...... He's not coming back....." Molly said while putting her hand on my shoulder.
"Ok.....Like I care?" I stood back up and grabbed my bowl of ceral.
"Just thought we'd let you know." Wade stood up and then Molly did the same.
"Not like I had feelings for him......... I don't care about him." I laughed.
"Oh...Well, Molly we gotta get to work so.......Will be seeing you." Wade grabbed the door nob and opened the door.
"I'l be out in a minute Wade go get the car started." She waved him away.
"Thanks for letting me know but Molly I really don't care. He's a nice guy but Only a friend." I laughed.
"Well.....If you need any help with anything just call me....... I'll help you out." She hugged me. "Even if it's not about Mark." She smirked.
"Alright molly." I nodded as she let go and left.
Truth is I did care. I felt my heart sink to the bottom of my chest. I pushed my cereal away and sighed. I looked at my phone finding a voice mail. I opened it. Mark's voice rang out of the speaker.
"Hey, It's Mark, Listen.... I'm sorry for not telling you I was moving but I completely forgot. If I can ever do anything for you just let me know. You can even come up and visit anytime you want. I'll be more then happy to have you come over. Well Call or text me when you get this, Hope your not too upset." He said before hanging up.
I texted him then looked around. I lost my job, A great friend moved away, This was the house my friend died in.....
FLASHBACK
"Derek? Derek? Are you ok?" I asked as I nelt next to my bleeding friend as the men in hockey masks ran out of the house taking mine and Dereks possetions.
"V-Vickie!" He screamed while in pain gasping and whinning, Laying in the middle of the living room floor with a hand squeezing his chest where the bullet had rushed through his skin.
"Derek, Dear god, Hold on." I said as I called the cops.
"911 what's your emergency?" A man said quickly.
"I got robbed and my friend got shot by the robbers come quickly!" I said before I hung up and looked at Derek.
"V-Vickie, We both know their not gonna make it here in *Gasp* Time...." He said while grabbing both of my hand and squeezing them lightly.
"Don't talk like that......They'll be here in time Derek. Just hold on." I said as his eyes slowly kept closing.
"Vickie......I need to tell you something........" He said, His tone now early audible.
"What?" I cried while staring at him then noticing all the blood every where.
"I, love you.... Don't ever forget that. Your like a sister too me, You've saved me before but now it's obvious I have to go." He smiled.
"I don't want you to go!" I shouted as the tears burned my eyes.
"No one does, But it's not our choice Vick, It's gods. He needs me to look over you" He placed a blooded hand on my cheek then it slowly slide down.
"D-Derek?" I looked at his limp body.
"Vick........Take, My necklaces..... You need then.... So I can be with you." He said while taking them off and placing them in my hands. One was a blue and black cross and the other was a Black pearl necklace with a blood red ruby in the center of the pearl. Both on silver chains.
"Your not dying Derek." I cried as police ran in and Derek stopped moving.
Paramedics rushed in and started working on him. I was rushed out of the house and explained what happened. About a hour later the Paramedics came out with a full bodybag on Derek and drove away with him.
"Will you be alright miss?" A Officer asked.
"I'll be fine......Just fine......" I walked away and into the house.
Flashback over
I'm leaving this hell ridden house. And this godforsaken town. I said as I picked up my phone again. I called my friend Paige who was a dancer in Vegas. I asked if her boss needed a new dancer and I was quickly hired. My friend happily told me to come to Vegas and I agreed. I then packed all of my clothes and things and My hammock, my laptop, and Then I called Molly.
"Molly..." I said softly
"Yes?" She said sounding a bit annoyed.
"I'm leaving...." I sighed.
"Ok? Like moving?"She became a bit interested.
"Yeah, I got a new gig in Vegas. I'm just gonna up and leave my house and all of the furnishings......" I began to laugh at the idea.
"Oh...........for how long?"
"Um.... For as long as possible...."
"Oh, Well I love you sis, Hope your gonna be happy with your new job and such." She giggled.
"Thanks I'll let you know when I finally Get to Vegas." I smiled then I hung up.
