unhappy endings.

Chapter 10.

Camille:   

I surprisingly woke up to no noise nor to an almost heart attack. Strange. Usually when Becky sleeps over, she would wake me up super early in the weirdest ways possible.

I suspiciously get up, glance at the clock, seeing as it's already 10am , and make my way to my bathroom to freshen up. After, I grab any piece of clothing I could get my hands on, I shrug it on. It was a black cute hoodie with a smiley emoj on it. Cool. I decided to grab my grey sweat pants since it's comfy.

On my way downstairs I realise one thing. The house is deadly quite. Feeling both relieved yet scared I look for mom or Becky. Neither one of them are here. Even stranger.

Wait. Mom has work today. Silly me. Still, where the hell is Becky?

Deciding to do something , I tidy up the place and make lunch.

As the minutes tick by, I can't help but wonder where in the hell was Becky? This girl! Being the scaredy cat I am, the minutes go more like hours, I start biting my nails - something I do when nervous- and sweat the slightest.

Enough with the anticipation and fear. I think to myself.
I call Becky but her phone is off. Oh great ! I thought. My best friend just disappeared.  I texted her a few profanities. Ha! That should tell her. I say a bit to grumpy.

I guess I miss that monkey.

I somehow managed to slow asleep with my phone in one hand , waiting for her call.

I woke up being thrown with water. What the actual fuck?

"Get up you slazy bumb." Said a rather irrated looking Becky. Hey, I should be the angry one not her. I think to myself.

" I give you three seconds to run. I will hurt you so bad. For two damn reasons. " I said with a glare while ,  somehow maintaining to keep the smirk on my face.

" Oh shit!" And off she went. Ha. That should teach her.

"Look. I'm sorry- ah - I didn't mean to pour water on you! I swear! Spare - ouch!- me. Damn woman! Giv-" with that I finally reached her and we both landed with a loud thud on the ground.

" First of all, you will be sorry for that and yes. This is nothing. We shall discuss that later. And secondly, where the hell were you????" I ask then I start punching her non stop. Not too hard of course.

" Damn. Give me room to explain myself. Ow. You're hurting me" I stopped immediately. Meanwhile Becky gives me the stink eye. Hey I should be all mean and grumpy and, a-and well. Ugh forget it.

"You have two minutes. " I say getting up. We move back to the couch .

" Fine. I woke up early as per usual. I went to your room. You were still sleeping. I stood at the foot of your bed the-"

"Not creepy at all" I commented making her glare at me for interrupting.

"Just shut it. Anyways, I thought why not make you wake up yourself? Surely you would wake up some time right? Wrong . You take forever to wake up. So-"

"Can you get to the part were I wake up alone? Also stop insulting me."

"Urgg I told you to shut it. And I was getting there. So, as I was saying, I went back out but then I received a phone call. I answer but no one spoke. Figuring it's just creepy Gary from across the street calling again, I try going back inside. But the door was locked. I looked for the key at it's usual spot - inside the flower pot hanging from the roof - and it's not there. I try knocking and all but no, sleeping beauty just has to have her sleep.- cue the eye roll- Alas I called your mom explaining what has happened, she told me to get the key from her, which I did. But I ended up spending an hour with your mom. She works at a cool place by the way. Anyway, I got an apology cake on the way back home. I would have phoned but my battery died . So, here I am."

"Okay. That is a lot to process." I said rather slowly.

After a few quite moments I finally register everything she said.

"Wait, what do you mean by "creepy Gary" calling you? AGAIN?! How come you're telling me this now only?" I ask well more like scream.

"Well, for starters, it happened a while ago. Gary that lives across from Mrs Perry starred phoning me. I had Dilly from the IT class check it for me. Though he used a private number this time, I figured he knew I could find out that it was him. Oh and lastly, I knew you would have his neck . Which I'm sure you will now that you know. I know you said not to keep things from one another but I just , I don't know, didn't want you fighting with that weird kid. He creeps me out. Imagine how he would -"

" Becky! Look at me.Okay. Now breathe. In. Out. You good?" I asked since she always talks in one breath.

"Yes. I'm good."

" Good. That's good. Now , we're going to wait for mom to come back and ask if she maybe misplaced the key. For now though, we're going to your house.  I need to talk to someone there. " I said with the most sweetest and innocent smile I could manage.

" Camille no. I have a feeling it's to do with Mr. MacCreepington. I don't want you in trouble. Again." Okay now she's exaggerating. I will barely hurt the guy.

" Who said anything about hurting anyone. I will go and have a civilised conversation with another human being talking about the effects of stalking another human being. Nothing to worry about. Atleast not yet." I said while getting my phone and key then I grabbed my shoes, all the while smiling with Becky.

"Hold this will you? I need to grab something. " I said giving her my phone and keys.

" Oh boy. This is definetly not going to end well." She said looking worried.

Having what I needed, I pull Becky out the house and we head off to her street to MacCreepiton's house.
