*Ok. Again I apologise for the inconviniance. I was away for three weeks on vacation. If you see my last blog you see. So this part is dedicated to my fabulous Killjoys who hd to all wait in anticipation for three weeks while I was gone. My Killjoys, the wait is over. For now. :P Enjoy!*
Reneé's P.O.V
Aw man. How could I break this to her? How would she take it? Would she reject me? Aw, I really don't know. I guess the only way is to tell her and find out what she says. But then I face humiliation and a horrible life if she says no. Come on Reneé! You have to tell her sooner or later. She's you're friend you can trust her, you're the one who inveted her out to a girls night out. My mind said. I was right I just had to tell her.
Helena was still staring into my eyes, waiting.
"You know you can tell me Reneé. But if you decide not to, I respect that too." Helena said to me.
"I-I-I will tell you." I said.
"Ok then, when you're ready." she said. Tears started to well up in my eyes, threatening to spill over. I couldn't hide it anymore from her. So I let my tears flow and began to spill my heart out to her
"M-m-my boyfriend is ab-busing me, and-d my p-p-parents don't want anything t-to do w-w-with me. I have now-w-where to g-g-go." my voice was failing me. I was stuttering violenlty, I wouldn't be surprised if she found my speech illegible
She continued to look at me, her expression turned from curious to sympathetic. I whipped my eyes, I looked at my hand, eyeliner and mascara smudged across it. I knew I should of wore waterproof. That did matter now, what mattered was what was Helena going to say next...
Helena's P.O.V
I took her had in both of mine. She had a serious problem, but I wanted to help her as much as I could. I sighed.
"Oh Reneé. That's terrible. I tell you what. How about you stay with me in my apartment and we can sort this mess your in. Does that sound good?" I said. It was the least I could do. The last thing she needs is me saying no to her and not helping her.
Her eyes lit up at what I said "Really? For real?" she seemed to be very surprised and overwhelmed by this.
"For real." I reassured her with a smile.
"Thank you so much! How can I ever re-pay you?" she said greatfully.
"We'll think of that later." I told her. She smiled at me.
We talked as we ate the rest of our food. I was glad that she had finally come out of her shell. It seemed to have relieved some of the heavy burdon she carried on her slender shoulders.
After we finished our meal the waitress cleared our table and offered us desert. We passed on desert.
"Ok, darlings. Would you like the bill?" she said.
"Yes please." I said.
"I'll be back with the bill." The partly waitress waddle off to fetch the bill for us. She waddled back in just under a minute and handed us the bill. It wasn't that expencive $56.90 thats all it was. I offered to pay the bill my self, but Renee reffused to let me pay.
"No Helena. I'll pay, its the least I can do for now. Your helping me out big-time here, remember." Renee said. I looked up at her.
"Ok, fine. You can pay. But the next time we go out, I'm paying ok?"
"Fine." Renee placed the apropriate amount of money in the little book and handed it back to the waitress.
"Thank you very much ladies. Have a good night." said the waitress.
"Thank you." Renee and I said in unison.
We both walked outside. I remembered what Renee had sai to me before about not having anywhere to stay. My apartment was big enought for two, so she could move in anytime she wanted.
"Renee?"
"Yes?" she said.
"When did you want to move in with me?" I asked.
"Um. Well... I have all my stuff in the car. Thats where I've been living for the passed week." she said. "Is it possible for me to move in tonight? Is that ok with you?"
The poor thing. How could I deni her.
"Of cause you can." I smiled to her. She gave me a hug, squeezing me tightly.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have no idea how happy this makes me, Helena. Or how greatfull I am."
She let go of me and we both got into our cars and drove back to my apartment.
Alex's P.O.V
*Panting* Running. Someone's after me. Don't know why. Legs getting tired. Long hallway. No doors. No Windows. Can't see very well. Must. Keep. Running. But my movements were sluggish. It was like running deep under water.
"AHH!" *thud* Who is the person? Why are they after me? I struggled to get them off of me, but they were too strong. A bright light was shone on my face. I squinted against the light trying to get a glimps of my pursuer. It was a man, he looked to be a little older than me. He had me pinned to the cold floor.
I continued to struggle, hoping I would break free of his grip.but my sluggish movements did nothing to help.
"You're a fiesty one arn't you?" the man said in a harsh voice. He pulles a siringe out of his pocket quickly, not letting me go.
I hated needles, they gave me the creeps. The man force my head to turn, revealing my neck. I tried to scream out for help but as I opened my mouth to scream, there was no sound. The man jabbed the needle in my neck, I tried to let out another scream. No noise.
All of a sudden my limbs felt heavy, I couldn't move them. My limbs lay still on the floor, unable to move them. The man stopped trying to pin me down and crouched next to me.
"Now. That makes it easier for me." he said. Easier for what? What was this man goin to do to me? I didn't really want to know. But I was going to find out anyway.
He reached his hand into his jacket pocket and extracted a dagger. He gave me an evil grin.
"Don't worry, I'm doing you a favour. I'll put you out of you're misery." he laughed evily, grinning.
He positioned the dagger over my chest. Silently screaming, my heart beating violently. He forced the dagger slowly into my chest. I felt blood pour out of my mouth. My hearing was fading, I saw my blood spurting out of where the dagger was being forced into my chest.
Was this the end of me? My vision getting blury. The man forced the dagger deeper still, it was starting to penetrate my heart now. I could tell for my breathing stopped and my vision turned black.
No. Not like this...
*Gasps Deeply* Whoa. Its was just a nightmare. Phew! That felt so real. I put my hand on my chest just to make sure. Nothing. No gaping hole that the dagger would have left. Thank God. I looked at the clock. Its was 4am friday. I don't think I would be able to fall asleep again now. so I decided to get up and watch TV.
It was now 7am. Helena would be up by now. I'll call her, and see how she's doing.
I dialed her number.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Good morning babe. Its me."
"Morning Alex. How are you?"
"I'm feeling better now that I'm talking to you, my love. How are you?"
"Aw. Your so sweet. I'm fine thanks." she said
"Thats good." I smiled
"You know my work mate Renee?" she asked.
"Yeah. What about her?"
"Well she's been have some trouble at the moment and she has nowhere to go so she's living with me until she can sort all this mess out."
"Oh, ok. Well I hope she pulls through it all."
"Yeah me too." there was a moment of silence. "Do you wanna come over to my place fro breakfast? We're making waffles."
"Sounds nice. I'll be over in a few. See you then, my love."
Ok. Bye, sweetie." I hung up.
I walked to my bedroom and got ready. I brushed my incredibly messy hair flat.
I walked over to my door and left for Helena's apartment...
