Message Man

"Lee?" the brunette said with disbelief,

"The School called said you had been put in hospital, AJ and I are driving up West Virginia right now." The man spoke in a low voice,

"You are? And AJ's coming? Lee you don't have to, I'm fine." The girl said with a croaking voice

"Clem, we're coming, I know you're not fine. You're not just put in hospital for no reason; Sweetpea, what happened?"

"It's a long story, can I tell you later? It's just good to hear your voice again"

"Sure thing, Sweetpea, it's good to hear yours too"

"Can, Can I speak to AJ?" Clementine spoke with a saddened tone

"He's asleep in the back of the car, we will be here tomorrow. See you later Sweetpea"

"Yeah, okay... See you soon"

The phone line went dead, she placed her phone on the bedside and laid back on the hard mattress letting out a small grunt of pain. 'It will be good to see Lee again, I just don't want to see him while I'm like this, stuck in a hospital bed with a broken body' the brunette thought.

Violet walked back to her and Clementine's dorm, for the first time in a week. The halls felt empty and grey almost like a Lonely City, she fished her keys out her pocket and looked down at the keychain stopping by her door she looked up. An expression of shock grew on her face, she dropped her keys to the floor and stared at the note pinned on the door.

The blonde reached out a shaking hand and pulled the pin out, picking up her keys and entering her empty room. Shutting the door behind her with a slam and chucking her keys on the desk which landed with a clank, sitting down on her bed she began to read the note which was written in a dark purple ink with curly handwriting.

"I see you got the locks changed my key to our room wouldn't work, shame though. I thought I moved on but, my mind, my every thought, my every action, my every feeling, it goes back to you. It's always been you and it's that I can't have you that drives me to tears, I'm consumed by the thought and the image of you, of being together and that we could have still been together. It drives me insane that you've moved on and that you already have a new bitch. I thought I'd take it into my own hands to try and get rid of her because she's the FUCKING problem here, I guess I'll have to finish her off next time."

-Minerva Leigh

Crumpling up the note she laid back on her bed and let out a loud, exasperated sigh 'freaking Minerva' She shut her eyes and placed her hands on her head, rubbing her face and wiping the residue from the corner of her eyes. The blonde opened up her phone, seeing several messages from various classmates wishing a speedy recovery for Clementine and saying what an awful person Minerva is.

Knowing that Clem was alone in the hospital by herself she wanted to be quick, but she also needed sleep, real sleep, not on an uncomfortable, clinical armchair in the corner. The blonde opened up her news app and read through the various articles, a notification popped up which caught her eyes, tapping on it a video started to play.

"BREAKING NEWS, known drug dealer and crime boss WILLAM CARVER has been found guilty on the account of arson and kidnapping"

"Over to our correspondent Carley Vigil for more information"

"Thank you, Steve; As you can see behind me are the remains of what was William Carver's drug factory, he was apprehended leaving the sight and had traces of gasoline on his hands. There is one casualty who is currently in intensive care with severe burns to the side of his face."
