^September 15^

I raced over to Leslie after school, where she waited for me patiently by her run-down green truck.

"Woah! You look sick, what's wrong?" She immediately questioned.

I gulped and nodded toward her truck.

We got in.

"Well?" Leslie raised her eyebrows.

I took a deep breath.

"I'm his next." I whispered.

"Wait what? I don't understand." She frowned.

"Him!" I whisper shouted. "I'm his new victim!"

Leslie blinked, as if processing something important in her mind.

"Him, as in Brandon Marshall. THE Brandon Marshall?"

I nodded quickly.

Then, she did something unexpected. She laughed.

"Oh Heaven! You're too funny! Brandon doesn't even know you!" She giggled some more.

I slumped my shoulders but didn't say a word.

"Anyways, I have some bad news." Leslie cleared her throat.

I sighed. "What news?"

Leslie cringed. "I'm moving."

"You're what?!" I screeched.

"I'm moving, Heaven. To England." Leslie nodded.

"W-why?" My lips trembled.

"I was accepted into a fine art school, the one I've been talking about, remember?" Leslie smiled happily.

"Yeah. But...when? W-when are you leaving?" I whispered sadly.

"Tomorrow." She concluded sadly.

I sucked in my breath and exhaled. I could feel tears about to spill.

"Oh Heaven don't cry! I'll be gone for at least four months! And you know how much I wanted this. I need to do this. It's my last chance." Leslie exclaimed, gripping my shoulders.

I slowly nodded. "I'm just gonna miss you, Les."

"I'm going to miss you too, Heaven." Cried Leslie, her arms wrapping around my next, her head leaning against me. "I love you so much, Heaven."

"I-I love you too." I muttered.

And hell, was I going to miss my only best friend.
