Can We Dance For A Last Time?

Chapter 8

I'm sitting on a chair, in James' living room. I still didn't sleep of all night and I'm very tired. Whereas Moochie is playing with her toy, she comes for me to give her a hug. She barks cause she wants me to play with her:

- "Moochie, said Kirstie, leave Tristan quiet, get out. Sorry for this.

- Don't worry it's OK. I really don't want to bother you. I have to go to the hospital to see Destiny.

- Tris, said James, no way. You stay here. You didn't sleep for two days, you'll see her later, OK? We just want you to rest now, you're not alone and we are your friend. With Kirstie we agree, you're gonna stay here.

- What do you mean?

- You're gonna stay here during a few days, the time for you to feel better. You will go to the hospital the day and will come here the night not to be alone and to rest. You'll have tired days. You're gonna take care of Destiny, but who is gonna take care of you Tris? Me and Kirstie. And Moochie of course.

- Thank you so much, you guys are true friends. I don't know what I would have done without you. But I need some clothes if you want me to stay with you, and I need to see Destiny.

- You'll see her soon, answered Kirstie. With James, we'll pick up some clothes at your home and will be back soon. Meanwhile you will stay with Moochie.

- OK.

- Moochie, said James, you stay with Tristan, but leave him quiet, OK?

- Woof!.

- See you later Tris."

I stay alone with Moochie in James and Kirstie's house, I really don't deserve them, they really are incredible friends, I can't imagine my life without them. Whereas I'm watching TV on the couch, my eyes are closing, but I don't want to sleep. I know I need it. The moment I start to fall asleep, Moochie lies down against me.

I wake up 45 minutes later, and I'm hungry. I decide to cook for James and Kirstie, I think I can do this. I cook a pie with lots of vegetables, a kind of mix. I hope James will like my pie. Then I cook some eggs and set the table. When I all finished, Moochie is looking at me, she probably wants to walk, so I decide to go for a walk with Moochie. I need some fresh air.

We walk during an hour. We go to the park and Moochie plays with butterflies, she's so cute. We also play together, I had a good time with this cutie dog. But it's time to back home, James and Kirstie are probably waiting for me for the lunch.

Finally, when I back my "new home", they aren't still here, it's me who's waiting for them and I'm very hungry, but it would impolite not to wait for them. I'm vey tired and fall asleep on the couch.

- "Baby, wake up"

- Your sleeping heart...

- Come on Tris, be serious please, we have a lunch with my parents, I hope you didn't forget

- Destiny?

- Yes, don't you forget I was your girlfriend? Is everything OK my love?

- Yes, sorry I had a horrible nightmare, I'm happy to see you baby.

- Do you want to tell me?

- Don't worry, it's useless. I'm gonna take a quick shower and we'll go to your parents' house.

- My sister is gonna be so happy to meet you.

- I already met her, Destiny.

- Oh Tris, stop please, you never met Hope. You're still asleep, go to take a shower to wake up."

She looks weird today, but I'm happy to see everything is OK, she's not sick. Fucking nightmare.

I take a quick shower, put on my white shirt and my black trouser, simple and elegant. I don't style my hair cause I like when it's simple and natural. I try to be quick for not Destiny to wait for me a long time.

Whereas I leave the bathroom to go to the living room, I can't find Destiny anymore. Where is she? It looks like in my nighmare, I hate this. I go to the kitchen, scared... Oh my god no, there's blood again... but not Destiny. A trail of blood leads me to the couch, I'm so afraid. My fears turn out to be true when I find destiny lying on the ground, blood flowing from her head:

- "NOOOOO!!!!

- (Tris!!!)

- DESTINY!!!!

- (Tris, wake up!)."

I wake up:

- "Tris, what happened? why were you screaming? asked James nervously.

- James? Kirstie? Moochie? Was it a nightmare?

- Don't worry, said Kirstie, you are with us, it just was a nightmare. What happened?

- I was with Destiny, to go for a lunch with her parents. Meanwhile I took a shower... she was dead on the ground, blood flowing from her head.

- Don't worry, it was a nightmare. It's OK.

- Yeah... I need to take a shower. I was waiting for you for the lunch cause I cooked but not anymore now.

- Go to take a shower and you don't have the choice, said James. We're waiting for you."

I take a long, long shower and I feel so sorry for James and Kirstie who are waiting for me, I don't want to eat. The only thing I want is to see Destiny.
