An Endless Wait.

chapter 6

after 3 weeks...
"let's go out today, I am so bored" Alice said to me in a complaining voice while she sat clumsily on my love seat alone. 
"hmmm...." was all I replied 
she suddenly got up and snatched my phone "heyy give it back I am using it" I protested

 "u are always using it" she said "I'm going to kill Richard the next time I see him" this time to herself "hey no...Alice at least you try and understand" I tried my convincing tone.
"don't be so obsessed with him Natalie" was all she said and walked away with my cell phone. 
"hey so where do u wanna go?" I yelled trying my luck once again.

Richard and I had bonded surprisingly quickly in the past 3 weeks. talking to him, meeting him quickly became an extremely 'liked' part of my daily schedule. he was a fun person to be friends with, he was a human magnet.

I got up and dragged my feet till I found Alice sitting in my room. "so where do you wanna go?" I asked her in a cheerful voice. she dint answer, I went and sat next to her, hugged her and whispered I am really sorry to her. she started laughing pulled back and said "get ready Caroline is on her way" I just  smiled back at her.

Alice was changing when I asked her "Alice...I was"  I stopped  "hm?"  was all she said "ok" I sat up "what would u say if I say Richard says he wants to join us for the movie he's already there n he is ready to wait....please" I tried again with my puppy dog eyes "he really really wants to come" I continued. 
"Natalie...huff...fine" she said
I jumped off the bed, I knew it I just knew it this was gonna be the best ever evening of my life....YET.

"Well that was one horrible movie" Alice said  as the four of us walked out of the theatre "totally agreed" I said.

I heard my phone ringing I took it out but it wasn't mine "Alice its yours" I said

"u both have the same ringtone" Richard questioned me "yes. And and, wait for it, it's by coincidence" distracted as I was, I never noticed that Alice had walked ahead wih a worried look and someone was definitely yelling at the other end.

In the very next moment I heard Caroline scream ALICE!! and turned my head just in time to see Alice's body in the middle of the street covered in blood. I couldnt find my legs anymore, i fell on my knees  and stayed there for quite some time.!
