Of all Lovers - Chapter 9

"I cant believe this happened." Willow spoke softly.

..................................

Carissa is trying to hold in her salty tears, but it's to hard.
The tears come pouring out like a ton of bricks.
They walk slowly to the shattered front door.
Willow pushed through the door and walked past a shattered picture frame of Carissa and her deceased father.
Willow picked up the frame for Carissa and held back her tears, she needed to stay strong for her best friend.
Carissa didn't walk inside, she couldn't dare.
She watched Willow like a owl watches a mouse.
Carissa's mouth goes dry and she cant speak.
She loses her breath, stomach curling, tears falling, hopes dying, head pounding.
Willow looks back at her speechless best friend.
Willow knows that Carissa doesn't have the money to repair.
No home insurance, no...

"Nothing." Carissa spat out.
"Nothing is ever going to be the same." Carissa chocked on her words.
"Carissa..." Willow spoke.

Carissa finally built up the courage to step inside her broken home.
She stepped inside, her knee's buckled and she fell to her knee's crying.
Willow didn't dare look back for if she did she would let go too.
Willow paused and kept walking.
Picking up broken glass, broken hopes, and thinking about how she would have to let her friend move in with her, at least till it's all fixed and forgotten.
Carissa stood up and walked over to where Willow was standing.

"You can move in with me if you would like." Willow added.
"I'd like that." Carissa replied after a thick silence.
"I mean who did this? Why did they do it?" Willow asked to no inperticular.
"I don't know. I mean why me?" Carissa said.
"Well since this is a break and entering we should report it, we need to call the cops." Willow said now angry.
"Yes I agree." Carissa said still sulking.
"While I call the police do you want to call Mikey and Frankie?" Willow asked Carissa.
"Sure." Carissa replied.

.......................................

Willow sighed and walked to the trashed living room where she would find the phone on the floor.
She pressed the send button but no dial tone.

"I guess we will have to use our cell phones." Willow said.

Willow dialed 911 on her cell phone and reported a burglary.
The lady on the other end told Willow that the police should be there any minute and that they should not touch anything that they could use as evidence.
Willow thought back to the picture and the house phone.

"Oops."

Of all Lovers - Chapter 8

"How are you?"
"Im f-fine." Willow managed to say.
"Isn't it funny how we just saw each other yesterday?"
"Yeah, haha, weird isn't it? So Frank, what brings you down here to Newark?" Willow asked once she found her voice.
"Well we have one more day off before our next show." Frank said, totally ignoring the bartenders request to get him a drink.
"Oh yeah thats right, Carissa told me. She's excited about her date with Mikey."
"Yeah Mikester is excited too."
"And uhhh...speaking of dates, I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go on a date with me?" Frank said nervously rubbing the back of his neck.

Willows knee's got weak and her heart rate increased. Good thing she was sitting down.

"Yes...I would love to." Willow said.
"YES!!" Frank yelled.

Willow couldn't help but laugh. The other band members laughed as well.
They were finally happy that Frank found someone that made him happy.
So many girls hurt him in the past.
They knew she was different.

"So I will pick you up tonight at 6:30, is that okay?" Frank asked.
"Yeah thats fine." Willow said still trying to take it all in.
"Okay good. So how have you been?"
"Well considering how it has only been about 8 hours since we last saw each other, Im saying pretty good."
"Ha-ha good." Frank stated.
"So when are you leaving?" Willow asked.
"Leaving the bar or Newark?" Frank asked.
"Newark." Willow replied.
"Oh well lets see, probably tomorrow or the day after."
"Oh." Willow stated bluntly.
"Yeah it sucks." Frank said looking down at the counter.

.......................................

Willow and Carissa walked out to the car at around 3:30.
Only three hours left till Willow's date with Frankie,
and four more hours till Carissa's with Mikey.

.......................................

Carissa and Willow arrived back at the house at around 3:45.
Willow was sitting in the passenger's side since Carissa took over the wheel.
Willow noticed something unusual.

"Uhhh Carissa..." Willow said. Her voice shaking.
"Yeah, what is it?" Carissa asked.
"Did you leave the front door open?" Willow asked while she stepped out of the car.
"Uhh..no of course not. Why?"

Carissa walked over next to Willow and stared at her like she was crazy.

"That's why." Willow said pointing to Carissa's house.

Carissa followed Willow's arm down to the finger then looked at her house. Carissa felt her heart drop and her eyes got wide and started to water.

"Does this mean that we have to cancel on the boys?" Willow asked.
"Yes it does." Carissa said starting to cry.

Of all Lovers - Chapter 7

Willow got dressed as slow as possible. In all honesty she didn't want to go at all, but she didn't want to upset Carissa.

.........................

Willow walked to her car, opened the door, and sat inside. She put down the visor in the car where her cd's were located. She pulled out her Avenged Sevenfold cd. That was her other favorite band, along with Atreyu.

.........................

She pulled up at Carissa's house five minutes later. She jogged up to the front door with her keys hooked on her belt. She was wearing a black tant top with a white haulter top underneath. Black shorts that come down to her knee's, and suspenders that were falling down below her shorts. Her keys jingled as she hopped up the three steps.

Ring~Ring

"Coming!" Carissa yelled from inside.
"Wow, Carissa is the one who called me and she's not even ready." Willow thought to herself.

For some reason Willow was in a bad mood today.

"Hey." Carissa said as she opened the door. Bringing Willow out of her thoughts.
"Oh, hey...you ready?"
"Yea, lets go." said Carissa.

..............................

They arrived at the only bar in town, and of course they were to the only people there, except for another vehicle was parked in the lot also. A pretty big car so there must be more than one person here Willow thought, but then again you never know. They walked into the bar and walked to the counter.

"Water please." Carissa said to the bartender.
"One water coming up, and you miss?"
"Umm, same as her."
"Okay two water's coming right up."

The bartender handed Willow and Carissa there waters.

"And you sir?"

Carissa and Willow turned to look at who the bartender was talking to.
Willow's mouth dropped when she saw who it was.

"Well hello beautiful, never thought I would see you here." he said with a drop dead sexy smile.
"H-hi." Willow could barley get out her words.
