"What do you want to do?" Chewy said pulling away from me.

"I don't know yet." I said wiping my tears. "I'm going to my brother-in-law in a few days, so I guess I could see him too." I said. My brother in law and John were in the same prison so it would save time, and I could face him when I tell him what I've always wanted to say.

"Do you want me to go with you?"He asked.

"Nah, I think Will's going to go with me."

"But, he doesn't know does he?"

"Not yet, but I think I should tell him." I said pulling a mirror out of my car. I had mascara running down my face and I looked like a crack whore. Chewy and I just laughed.

"Well, I better go. I gotta call Will and figure out if I'm going to tell  my mom or not." I said climbing into my car. I pulled out of the driveway and honked before I drove off. Then I grabbed my cell phone and called Will.

*Ring, Ring*

"Hello?"

"Hey Baby. What are you doing?"

"Nothing aren't you supposed to be at work?"

"I called in.  I need to talk to you. Are you at home?"

"Nah, I'm at Shaun's house, by the Pink House."

"Okay. I'll be there in a second." I hung up and headed to the west end of town. I pulled up in front of the bar and noticed Will's Mom's car in front of a house arcoss the street.  I walked up the steps and heard Shaun call out for me to just come in. I opened the rusted screen door and stepped into a dimly lit room. I heard cartoons on the TV and the room was filled with smoke. I walked to the kitchen where Will, Shaun and some guy I didn't know where talking and it seemed to have been a very heated conversation.

"Hey babe." i sadi slowly as I walked up behind him. The room smelled funny.

"Hey sweetie." he said ingoring the other man. He got up and we walked back to the living room.

"What's up? Why'd you call into work?" He asked sitting down on the couch.

"I didn't feel like going to work." I lied.

"So what did you need to talk about?" He said pausing for a second as he flipped his dirty blonde head towards the kitchen, listening to the conversation in the other room. He jumped up off the couch and ran to the other room. I could hear him arguing with Shaun and the other man, but i wasn't really listening, til I heard gun shots from teh other room. I jumped up off the coffee table where I had been sitting and ran to the kitchen. Will and Shaun were laying on the ground and the mystery man stood there holding a 9-mm pistol. I knelt beside Will.

"Will! Baby? Are you okay?" I was hysterical, I grabbed a coupletowels that were laying on the counter and applied pressure to his wounds. The shooter stood there in a daze, then he dropped the gun and ran.

"Stop! No!"  I screamed after him, but he was gane.

"Will? Is there a phone in here? Will?!"I screamed at him. Shaun rolled over and said there was no phone.

"Okay... umn ... guys. I'll be right back. I..I'm going to get my phone out of my car." I sadi runningout of the house. Neighbors were coming out of their houses wondering what was going on. i reached in to my car and grabbed my phone and dailed 911.

"911, What is your emergency?"

"My boyfriend and his friend have been shot!"I screamed into the phone.

"Okay ma'am calm down can you tell me where you are?"

"They are in the house across the street fromthe pink house." I said breathing heavily.

"Okay I'm sending a unit out now. Ma'am are you hurt?"

"No, I was in the living room when they were shot." isaid wiping my face, smearing blood arcoss my cheek.

"Where they shot ma'am?"

"In the kitchen." I said. I could hear the scream of sirens coming close.The ambulance and the police officer pullled up in front of the house. The two EMT's jumped out and grabbed their gear. I hung up with dispatcher and directed them to the kitchen. I stood in teh corner of the kitchen shaking. Then the police officer came in and lead me outside.

"WHat's your name Ma'am?" He asked me.

"Uh... Emily James." I said trying to clear my head.

"Okay Emily, can you tell me what happened?"

"Not really, Just Shaun and Willwere arguing in the kitchen with some man and then i heard shots. I ran to the kitchen and tried to stop Will's bleeding. The man just dropped the gun and ran." I sadi replaying the scene in my head.

"Where is the gun now?"

"On the floor, where he dropped it." I said a little dazed.

"No one else touched the gun, then?"

"No."

"Okay, do you have someone you cna call to pick you up form the station? because we're going to need you to do a sketch of the man that did this. Do you think you can do that?"

"Yeah."

I sat on the steps as they wheeled out Will and I jumped up and held his hand.

"Baby, I'll be there to see you as soon as I can. Hold on. You'll be fine." I said before the EMT forced me to let go of his hand.

Another officer showed up and took me back to the station. Where I called my mom. When I got off the phone I caught a glimpse of myself self in the mirror and another officers desk. There I was with make-up running down my face, blood streaked across my cheek, my face and lips were pale. I looked dead and all I could think about was the letter in my car.
