X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~

Luc ran as fast as he could. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest. He could still his taste CJ’s lips on own. Luc had to find CJ no matter what. Luc ran out of the theater and CJ was gone. Luc decided to check CJ’s house first. As Luc was running, rain began to pour from the sky. Within seconds Luc was so drenched his clothes clung to his body, but Luc didn’t care, he had to find CJ. On his way to CJ’s house, Luc had to pass their high school, where football practice was currently taking place.

Shit! Kyle’s here! Oh shit, he just saw me! Luc thought.

Luc tried to keep running, but Kyle cut him off.

“Where are you off to in such a hurry?” Kyle asked.

“Nowhere.” Luc lied.

“Good, so we can talk.” Kyle said.

“About?” Luc asked.

“Me…fucking you.” Kyle said.

“Fuck you!” Luc said.

“Fuck you…fuck you…yeah I would.” Kyle said.

Luc rolled his eyes, and turned to leave. Before Luc could leave, Kyle grabbed his shoulder, and spun him around.

“I thought you weren’t going anywhere?” Kyle said.

“I’m not, but I have better places to be then with you.” Luc said.

“Aw…That hurt.” Kyle said.

“Just leave me alone.” Luc said.

Kyle stepped forward, and got into Luc’s face. Luc could feel Kyle’s warm breath on his face.

“Or else what?” Kyle said, through gritted teeth.

Kyle pushed Luc to the floor. Luc fell into a muddy puddle of the newly fallen rain. The mud splashed all over Luc, as he looked up at the caption of the football team.

“You’re pathetic.” Kyle said.

Kyle walked away, leaving Luc in the puddle. Luc looked at the rest of the football team who were celebrating with Kyle. Luc looked down at the floor, before getting up, and running away. Luc tried to run to CJ’s house, but by time he got their, he saw CJ through his bedroom. Next to CJ sat one of the whores from the party. CJ and the girl had been in the middle of hooking-up as Luc ran up. Luc just stared at CJ through the window. CJ’s eyes found their way down to two emerald green eyes, forcing back tears. CJ stood up, and walked towards the window, but he was too late, Luc had already began to run through the rain. Luc ran as fast as he could, anywhere away from CJ’s house. Luc kept running as fast as he could, until his legs finally gave way, and he fell to the floor. Luc had ran all the way to a local park before collapsing. Luc had crawled under a tree to protect him from the rain, and broke down into tears. Luc spent hours under the tree, crying until his eyes were dryer than the desert. Luc watched as the rain faded and the clouds disappeared to raveling the sun. Luc grabbed his legs, and hugged them into his chest. Within minutes, Luc had fallen asleep under the tree.

CJ watched as Luc ran away through the rain. CJ wanted to drop everything and chase after him, but he knew he couldn’t. His pride would not let him go chasing after anyone, especially another guy. He could just imagine what people would say about him, or even worse, what they would say and do to Luc. He knew that the girl in his room would inform every single person in the school what happened. He would not let Luc deal with what would happen. He had to call Luc later that night.

CJ sat on his bed, eyeing his phone. He knew he was about to make one of the most important phone calls of his life. He dialed Luc’s number, and waited for an answer.

“Hello?” A sleepy Luc said.

“Hi.” CJ said.

“What do you want?” Luc asked coldly.

“To apologize.” CJ said.

“For?” Luc asked.

“What happened at the movies…That was wrong.” CJ said.

“What was wrong?” Luc asked, prepared for anything except for what was said next.

“The kiss.” CJ said.

“…” Luc was speechless.

“I don’t like you like that, and it obvious you don’t like me like that.” CJ said.

“…” Luc tried to say something, anything but the words wouldn’t come out.

“It might be better if we just went our separate ways.” CJ said.

“What do you mean?” Luc asked.

“It will be easier for us to forget about that kiss.” CJ said.

“But what if I don’t want to forget it?” Luc asked.

“Are you saying?” CJ asked.

“Yes, I was in too much shock to kiss you back…I love you CJ.” Luc said.

“I’m sorry…I don’t feel the same way.” CJ said.

“Then why the kiss?” Luc asked, tears forming in his eyes.

“I don’t know…I’m so sorry Luc.” CJ said.

CJ felt his heart sink when he heard Luc hang up the phone.

“I love you more than anything…but it would be to hard for you, Luc.” CJ whispered to himself.

Luc looked up to the sky. The call had woken him up from his nap. He could feel the
tears roll down his cheek, as the sky opened up once again. Luc knew he had to get home, before his parents got too worried. This time, instead of running, Luc slowly walked home as the rain poured down.

When Luc got home, he took a hot shower, and put on a pair of boxers and an undershirt. He crawled into his bed, as tears rolled out of his eyes. He sobbed softly until he heard the sound of an instant message. Luc looked at his computer, and walked over to it. Luc reached out, and turned off the speakers, before getting back into his bed. He closed his eyes, and slowly drifted off into a deep sleep.

Three months have passed since that night. Both Luc and CJ have grown apart. CJ has died his hair blonde, and began to got tanning. He has become Kyle’s right hand man. While Luc has taken a different turn. Luc grew out his hair, and got his lip pierced. They still see each other daily, but ignore each other. Luc has a new group of friends. He hangs out with the skaters. He and his friend on AIM still have regular chats. He still won’t tell Luc who he is, or anything about him. He has been talking to Luc about his new friends.

EviLOnE401: So you have some new friends I see.

Luc: Yeah, they’re fun.

EviLOnE401: You still think of him?

Luc: Who?

EviLOnE401: CJ?

Luc: Oh him…

EviLOnE401: So do you like your new friends?

Luc: Yeah why?

EviLOnE401: What about that kid Greg?

Luc: How do you know my friend’s name?

EviLOnE401: I have a surprise for you.

Luc: Yeah?

EviLOnE401: Yeah…Go to his house. He lives next door doesn’t he?

Luc: Yeah…

EviLOnE401: And his parents are out on their second honeymoon right?

Luc: How do you know all of this?

EviLOnE401: Just go and look…

Luc: Why?


EviLOnE401: He’s having a party, go he told me to invite you.

Luc: Seriously?

EviLOnE401: Yeah, when you get their, just walk in to his house.

Luc: Are you going?

EviLOnE401: Just got home…Its had a blast.

Luc: Okay…

EviLOnE401: Bye.

Luc got out of his chair, and walked to his window. All of the lights were on in Greg’s house, and he heard music coming from in the house. Luc looked at his clock, it was already one o’clock. He shrugged his shoulders, before walking out of his room. He quietly snuck out of his house, and began to walk towards the house. When he got to the front door, he saw it was already slightly open. He slowly pushed the door open.

“Hello?” He called out before walking into the house.

Luc would never be ready for what he saw. On the floor, in front of him on his stomach laid his friend, Greg. Luc saw a buddle of blood around Greg. Luc ran over to Greg, and turned him over onto his back, and saw a bullet hole in Greg’s chest. Luc put two fingers to Greg’s neck to check his pulse. No response. Luc pulled out his cell phone and called the police.

“Nine-one-one, what’s your emergency?” A woman asked.

“Help me! I just found my friend dead!” Luc said, through tears.

“Where are you?” She asked.

“I’m in his house…He’s was shot.” Luc said, crying heavier and heavier.

“What’s the address?” She asked.

“Twenty-three Milbar.” Luc said.

Within a half-hour the police arrived at the house. Luc was standing outside of the house, looking at it. The whole house was roped off with crime scene tape. Luc’s parents came out side after hearing all the commotion. A police officer came up to Luc and asked him to come down to the police station with her. He agreed to. He now sat in the interrogation room.

“Hi Luc.” The officer said.

“…”

“I’m sorry for what happened.” She said.

“…”

“Can I ask you some questions?” She asked.

Luc shook his head yes.

“How did you know Greg?” She asked.

“…”

“He was my friend.” Luc said.

“And you found his body?” She asked.

Luc shook his head yes.

“Why did you walk into the house.” She asked.

“…”

“He told me to go their.” Luc said.

“Greg told you to come over?” She asked.

“No.” Luc said.

“Then who?” She asked.

“…”

“I don’t know who he is…He sent me an instant message one day…then tonight he told me that

Greg was throwing a party and told me to go.” Luc said.

“And you don’t know his name?” She asked.

“No…the screename is EviLOnE401.” Luc said.

“One more question.” She said.

She held up a rose with a note tied to it.

“Does this rose mean anything to you?” She asked.

“No why?” Luc asked.

“It has a letter on it…for you…” She said.

“What does it say?” Luc asked.

“It says…‘Next time take my advice, Luc.’ Does that mean anything to you?” She asked.

“He told me…he told me to spend time with my friends, but wouldn’t tell me why.” Luc said.

“Well Luc, its getting late, go home, we’ll call you in the morning.” She said.

“He’s always watches me…he knows everything about me…my friends…everything.” Luc
said.

“Don’t worry, they’ll be police officers with you wherever you go. We will call you in the
morning. You’ll be fine.” She said.

Finally after fighting for a while, Luc finally was escorted home by two police officers. They spent the rest of the night sitting in their car outside of the house, while Luc got into his bed. Their was no way he was going to fall asleep. He keep being haunted by images of his friend’s corpse. It was driving him insane. Luc spent the whole night laying their, just completely in shock. The silence of his room was broken when he heard an instant message. His eyes shot to his computer. He ran over to it.

EviLOnE401: Fun party right?

Luc grabbed the phone and called the police. Within seconds they were in his room and looking at the screen. One of the policemen took Luc out of the room, and down into the den. He told Luc that their was nothing they could do right now, and it would be best for him to go to sleep now. Luc laid down on the couch, and his tired body finally slipped off into the land of nightmares where he kept seeing Greg.

Luc finally woke up The next day, and the police filled him in. They told him that the person signed off before they could get any valuable information. They apologized to him, before telling him to get ready for school.

Luc walked up the steps of his house, and wound up in the bathroom. He set the perfect temperature for his shower, and got into it. He washed his hair and body, before leaving the shower. He brushed his teeth, and put on his uniform. He looked himself in the mirror.
This is going to be the hardest day of my life…Those people…The looks I’ll get…What will I tell the guys? What will I tell anyone? Luc thought, before running out to the bus.

The police were going to follow Luc, but by a distance. Luc got onto the bus, and it went silent. All eyes found their way to Luc, as he quickly sat down. The bus ride went slow until they got to CJ’s house…then it got slower. CJ got onto the bus, and looked at Luc. He sat down behind Luc, and watched Luc’s every move.
God did I mess up…And then this…It kills me to see how sad he is…But what do you say to someone who found their friend’s body? I wish I could help my angel. CJ thought watching Luc.

Luc knew that CJ was watching him. He felt very uneasy as the bus pulled up to the school.

And that was only the bus ride. Luc thought.
