Gone With The Wind

Chapter 3

China blinked slowly as she lowered her arm and looked at her phone which was now back to its original screen after she had hit the red end call button. But she didn't give up, she called him again and again. She kept doing it. She wouldn't except the fact that he was gone. Tears clouded her vision as the voicemail went off for the seventh time, but she blinked them away and turned to tell her friends that Fredrick was gone.

Antonio dialed Jeremys number, and of course, he answered immediately.

"What's up man" Jeremy said.

"Nothing, just trying not to get Paris and China killed."

"Yeah that can be a very difficult task" Jeremy said chuckling.

"Yeah, are you okay man? Hows your family?" Antonio asked, and waited patiently for a response.

"I'm good, my family... I dont wanna talk about it" He said almost tearfully.

"I'm sorry man, we need to meet up, are you at your house?" Antonio asked.

"Yeah, you got brianna, right?" Jeremy asked, antonio could hear his heartbeat speeding up in his voice.

"No. Paris is on the phone with her right now."

"Okay I will hed over to her house and and get her," Jeremy said.

"Ok man, we'll head over." Antonio said then hanging up.

The second that China asked Paris to call Brianna, Paris was already pulling out her phone and dialing Brianna's number.
Paris started walking away from China and Antonio so she could hear what Brianna was saying while they were on the phone. But when she walked farther and farther away from them, she came quiet close to Antonio's uncle's dead body.
"Oh my-" Paris couldn't finish her sentence, because she felt a sudden wave of nauseous going through her. The sight reminded her too much of when her older brother, Cameron, suddenly had a heart attack right in front of her, one horrible day when they were playing outside together. Paris was too shocked to do anything, and he died right in front of her. She still blames herself though, and lives with that guilt everyday of her life.
Suddenly the phone stops ringing and Brianna's voice comes on the other line.
"Hi." Brianna whispers.

"Brianna!?Are you ok?! Where are you?!" Paris runs a shaking hand through her knotty hair.

"I-I'm ok, but my family is not." Brianna pauses and Paris can hear her stifle her cries through the phone.

"I'm so sorry Brianna. My family is gone too.." Paris whispers.

Brianna takes a deep breath, "Ugh, I'm so sorry Paris. Why did this happen?!" She asks.

"I have no I-" Paris starts.

"Wait!" Brianna interrupts, and even though we're on the phone, Paris can feel her expression change. "Is Jeremy ok?" She asks.

"Antonio is on the phone with him right now." Paris tells her. Brianna secretly has a crush on Jeremy, well, they have since they were both little kids.

"I'm at my house right now, but I'm too afraid to go outside. I keep hearing people scream, and gunshots, and crashing noises.

"Ok, China, Antonio and I will come and get you." Paris tells her, then says a quick goodbye and hangs up.
Paris starts walking towards Antonio and China, and by the look on Antonio's face, it looks as if Jeremy's alright, but the look on China's face looks like something happened to Fredrick.
Paris think that China secretly has a crush on him, but she can't get China to admit it.

"Jeremy is ok." Antonio explained as he walked towards Paris, "he's on his way to Briannas house right now."

"Oh good." Paris let out a breath of relief but then sucked it back in as she watched Chinas gloomy face. "China....is Fredrick ok?
