After a long day of school instead of heading straight home I rode with my bestfriend Liam to his house. We walked into the one story, cottage home and sat on the couch. He threw his backpack to the side and sighed.
"So what was the big thing you wanted to tell me?" He asked.
"Sofia is still alive," I answered quickly without hesitation.
"Your dead girlfriend?"
"No, my pet goldfish," I exclaimed sarcastically.
"Okay," he tried to go around my rude remark, "and what makes you say that she is still alive?"
"I heard moaning in my house."
He stared at me for a few minutes, "are you sure it wasn't...I mean was your mum---"
I quickly put my hand up. "---She did not arrive until later on."
"So then you are crazy."
"I thought you were supposed to be my bestfriend."
He laughed. "I am. And as your bestfriend I am telling you you are crazy."
"If you think I am crazy then let's go back. See for yourself," I suggested. I stood up and walked to the door.
"Are you nuts? We just got here." He leaned further into the couch. "Relax man."
"Okay so what if Scarlett Johansson died---"
He sat up. "---Don't you dare say that ever again."
"I'm sorry. But what if she was missing or something and you swear she is closer than you think. And the one person you thought you loved and loved you is the cause of Scarlett's disappearance."
"That bitch!" Liam grabbed his jacket off the floor and rushed out the door.
"So that's it?"
The sound of his motorcycle engine was pretty much my answer and I followed his trail. He handed me an extra helmet and ordered me to hold on.
As he skid down the street, with tire marks in our place, I felt a sense of fear. And I could not tell why. It was not until we passed the turn to my neighborhood that the fear increased.
"Um Liam, you missed the turn."
"No I didn't," he replied. He sped up a little more, zooming through the cars by cutting into the spaces.
"Okay you have been to my house countless of times you know where to turn. What are you up to?"
"You'll see." I could see him begin to smile and he sped up EVEN more.
"Liam what the---"
He flipped the bike over, I mean literally with all his strength knocked us down as hard as he could. Before we hit the hard, hot pavement I heard him whisper, "I am so sorry Harry."
I slid far from the bike over to the side curb. Liam, on the other hand, flew off the bike into the middle of the road. Cars swerved around trying to avoid hitting him.
I slowly got up and limped my way over to his body, unsure whether he was dead or alive. If he was not them I was left on my own with the whole Sofia thing. If he was I only had one question for him.
What. The. Hell.
I got next to him and knelt down to my knee, I placed my finger on his neck to check for a pulse.
My eyes widened to find that he was...
Still alive.
I lifted Liam's chin up a bit with an angry look on my face. "What are you keeping from me Liam?"
He squinted in pain. "I don't know what you are talking about."
I bent his severely damaged arm. "I would not keep that lie if I was one that could not walk."
He thought it over, then smiled. "Okay, get me to a hospital first. And I will tell you everything."
