Jennas Point of
View
Rick got up and hurried
over to the door. I sat there , in his clothes all while
wondering who could that be? I heard the door open. Then I
heard yelling. I began to get up when i heard .. a gunshot.
I took a panic breath and ran over to the door. It was open,
but nobody was there. I looked down, Rick was lying there in a
pile of blood."Rick! NO!"I yelled, and burst out
sobbing.
He took my hand and
stifled a smile"I love you Jenn."
Were his last words. He shut his eyes and then he was gone. I
sobbed over his body, instead of calling the police I decided
to take matters into my own hands. And find out who did this to
him.
I took his body and put it in the car. I drove to the hospital
and dumped him out in the front, then I ran to the car and
drove away. When I got back to the house I wiped the floor and
my tears.
It was then that I began to plan
my revenge.

"What is it? What's wrong?"
Michael asked after a long and comforting hug. I took a step
back from him and took a few deep breaths.
"I think I want Sophia here too." I said quietly.
"Alright, I'll call her." He muttered, a little
disappointment visible on his face. Sophia coming over meant
he'd have to make sure that all his dishes were done and
orangize the few pillows on his couch a certain way so she
wouldn't freak out.
So an hour later after a bit of straightening of his apartment,
Sophia arrived.
"That pillow's in the wrong spot. God
Michael!" She muttered sharply. Sophia noticed my swollen
eyes and frowned. "Michael told me there was something
wrong."
"Brandon's back. And he's working where I
work." I knew it didn't sound like a huge deal and I
knew it probably wasn't, but I also knew they wouldn't
judge how I felt about Brandon moving back.
Before I knew it, Sophia had enveloped me into a tight hug.
"I'm so sorry," she mumbled to my neck, her voice
a little by my yellow scarf.
I looked past her to Michael who had a worried look on his face
with his lower lip tucked in a little at one side and his
eyebrows squished together, mostly because he didn't know
who Brandon was to me. "Where is it you work?"
Michael questioned.
Sophia then broke off from the hug and stood next to Michael.
"Yeah," she chimed in.
"Wendy's." I answered, a little confused.
"How about we stop by every once and a while? To make sure
you're like... okay." He gave a half smile and I
nodded.
"I can't stop over on Wednesdays, Fridays, or
Saturdays though." She gave me a sorry look.
"Volleyball and therapy."
"That's okay," I smiled, "you guys don't
have to if you can't."
"I'll be there as much as I can." Michael
reassured.
"Thank you." I mouthed because I didn't feel like
talking.
Two hours later Sophia got up to leave, hugging me another time
and giving Michael a few tips on how to make sure that his
glass cups don't get the white marks she's annoyed
with.
"I think I'm going to go as well." I smiled at
Michael and gave him an appreciative hug.
"Alright, by Ali." He smiled.
I walked out the door and took a few steps before the door
opened again and Michael popped his head out frowning.
"Are you, uh... ever going to tell me what happened?"
He asked.
"Probably soon. Not tonight though, I should get
home." I answered, turning back around and heading
home.
"Oh, hey Ali." Brandon
smirked.
My eyes widened and I couldn't help but hear a gasp escape
my mouth. My mind went back to the night I turned fifteen at
that party that Jill hosted for my birthday. I opened my mouth
but nothing came out because Brandon was in front of me and he
was exactly the same as he was two years ago.
"Cat got your tongue?" He winked.
That's when his smell of pot entered my nose and it all hit
me again. I tried to smile but I'm sure it looked something
closer to the jokers face than a smile. "Right."
"Well here's your schedule," he handed me a piece
of paper with a grease stain on the left corner. "Um,
you'll probably be working windows for most of the time you
work here. Boss's office is back there," he pointed
vaguely behind him and blinked slowly a few times, like he was
out of this world.
"Alright thanks." I mumbled before turning on my heel
and speed-walking out.
"Wait, Ali!" I heard him yell.
I turned around cautiously. "What?" It came out
meaner than I'd intended but in the back of my mind he
deserved it.
He said something I didn't expect him to. "It's
good to see you."
I didn't say anything back because I didn't know what
would do that simple sentence justice. Would it be 'I
don't forgive you'? Maybe it'd be 'it's
good to see you too'.
When I got in my car the first thing I knew to do was driving
to Michael's. So I did that, my brow creased the entire way
there and my knuckles white on the steering wheel.
I stood in front of Michael's door for a good five minutes,
every memory after that night came flooding back up to meeting
Michael at the end of that school year. After five minutes and
no tears shed I believed it safe to open the door. But once
I'd knocked and Michael faced me with a smile on his face,
the tears came running out of my eyes.
I took a step towards him and he opened his arms and brought me
into a comforting hug, not even asking yet what was wrong. I
knew he'd give me time to tell
him.
