The absecence of you Pt.2

Three years ago.

i kept crying and choking in Jessica's blook. once in a while i tried to get up and take a few deep breaths but then i would fall back down. My mother came in every week and brought me food. She would always give me a disgusted look and say "abomination" and walk back upstaris. I felt like giving up all hope until lightning flashed and showed me my way out. I saw an ax against a shelf. I reached for it but it seemed to far away. I grabbed the plate of food next to me and extended it so i could reach it. After many atempts it fell towards me. i grabbed it and i started to hack away at the chain. Sparks kept flying and my neck grew sore. Everytime i would try and break it, it yanked my neck. i stopped for a bit and then kept trying. The chain finally broke and i ran for a window. I stopped and turned around. I took on last look at Jessica to make sure she was really dead. She was. i broke the window and climbed out. It was raining. I didn't stop running till a police car pulled up beside me and put me in the car. We drove off. That was the last time i ever saw that house, and saw my mother.

Three years later.....

I focused my camara onto a few squirrls sitting in a tree. I snapped a few photos and then went on my way. I was on my way home from school. it's my last year and i hope to get into a good school so i can study photography. i ran for the bus. unfortounatly it took off. "smile" i turned and it was my friend josh with his camara. I turned my head. "you know i hate being in pictures." i said. "You shouldn't" he said with a smile. "well i got to go. i have to be somewhere." i said. "ok" he said waving. I arrived at home and i sat at my computer and i loaded my pictures onto it. I took pictures of everything. flowers, trees, people, animals, clouds, and just random objects. My closet walls were coverd in pictures. It made it brighter.

i felt tired so i decided to lay down. It began to rain. I really don't like the rain. It's depressing. and scary. I started to drift off and dream. I dreamed about my old home back in California. It was a big white house with green windows. It seemed perfect. I started to dream about jessica. I hated to dream about her. it brought back horrible memories. i dreamed that she was dying all over again. I could see the blood on my hands and arms. it was everywhere. i was soaked in it. I heard a scream and then i woke up. My phone was ringing and i answered it. "hello?" i said. "Hey it's josh. Do you want to meet me at the park im kinda bored?" he asked. "sure i'll be there in a bit." i said. "ok, bye." he said. I sat in bed thinking. It's been three years and i still feel her in my dreams.

It was about eight, it was already dark but i needed to get out of the house anyway. i saw josh sitting on a bench taking pictures of the moon and stars in the sky. He saw me and smiled. "Hey josh" i said. He gave me a hug and we sat down on the bench.

We talked for a while and it got late. It was around 11.

"It's getting late. We shouldn't be in the park." i said. "yeah, hey you want to come back to my place. We could edit some photos together." he said. "Sure ok." i said. We sarted walking and we ended up in another part of town. It didn't seem right. everything was dark and eerie. i didn't like it. "hey, josh where are we going. where is your place exactly." i said. "my place is way over there." he said. "so what are we doing here?" i asked. " i just want to be alone with you for a while." he said. "wait a minute. i don't like you like that josh. Well i don't like any guy like that. I thought we were just friends." i said. "just friends?" he said. "He stepped closer and gave me an evil souless look. The next thing i new i was on the floor and my head was pounding.

i tried crawling out of the ally but he grabbed me by the hair and pulled me back. "you know, i really hate photography, but i thought maybe if i took it up you'd be interested. i guess i was wrong." he said and kicked me in the ribs. He threw me down and put his hands around my neck. I tried to get away but he was too strong. "no one to save you." i then saw a figure in the distance. It came closer and closer. It looked like- "jessica?" i said. "who's jessica, your girlfriend." he said and laughed an evil laugh. He raised his fist and let out a scream. He then fell back. I saw her. she saved me. I could see her face and everything. She smiled. I saw a light and then i sort of drifted off with her. I knew she wasn't dead. she couldn't have been.

Josh got up and looked down at her. He had killed her. He breathed heavily and said. "your mother didn't pay enough for this." he spit on her and walked off into the night.
