He sat on the kitchen floor, unable to speak. The dial tone of the house phone echoed loudly through the quiet empty house. He replayed the conversation in his mind, slowly questioning himself. The dial tone grew louder in his ears, The Reality of it sinking in.

She was gone.

"Rue, Open up!" Stormy yelled as she beat on the front door. "This isn't good, Damnit" Stormy recalled the voicemail she woke to.. "S-Stormy!! STORMY!! SH-SHE'S GONE!! AURORA IS GONE!" .... His voice was broken, he had been screaming like a painfilled toddler. She could barely make out the words, But as Rue's bestfriend she knew. His heart was broken, and He was dangerously unstable.

Stormy heard a loud crash from inside the house, "RUE!!!!" She cried as she frantically beat on the door. Suddenly it opened, She looked up and saw him. Dark circles shadowed his blood shot eyes, His ivory skin was unhealthily pale. Rue looked at her, his eyes almost heavy expressioned. Stormy spoke softly, "Oh Rue...".

And that was all it took, for the tears to begin again.
