Saturday Morning. Rainy. I can stay at home and do nothing. Oh, how I love it! I don't like the idea of being alone; since six years, I've passed all my free time with Alex, and I get used of not being alone, but… Someone is knocking at the door, taking me out of my thoughts. Who can it be now? I don't know.
"Hang on! I'm coming" I shout. I'm now running down stairs, and opening the door, just to meet Kim on the doorframe, wet and cold. She's smiling at me, and I know why. I say hi and let her enter in my house. When she is in, she looks at me.
"Can I see it?" She has a big smile across her face.
"Of course you can" And I show her my hand, with a big engagement ring. We both start to shout and jump hugging each others. But Kim's mobile is ringing, so we stop. She's hanging out her mobile while I'm moving to the kitchen, but she remains at the hall.
"Hey hon what's up?" Is she saying. I think its Thomas. They're not married or engaged, but they're going out, and they're so happy together. Since the day at the hospital, when Eugene has died in the explosion and Kim saved us, we four have become the best friends ever. "No, I'm at Clear's now. Why?" I'm looking at her with a what-the-fuck face, and she is with her I-don't-have-a-damn-idea face. Yeah, we both have a face for every situation. "Ok. Clear, turn on the TV and put Channel 5 please."
"OK" I'm turning on TV and changing the channel. When I arrive at Channel 5, we both listen to the news, and Kim has not put down her mobile yet.
"Yesterday, there was a rollercoaster crash in the McKinley Park, in Pennsylvania. There are no survivors, in spite of a group of ten students of McKinley High School, which get off the roller coaster before it crash. Some people…" I cannot hear anymore, so I turn the TV off. I'm turning around and seeing Kim's shocking face. I can hear Thomas voice on the other side, calling for Kim, but she is too shocked to answer, so I take the cell.
"Meet at my house in one hour, please. I'll call Alex and he will be here too. Bye." I put down Kim's cell, while looking for mine to call Alex.
"It had happen again, hadn't it?" Is she whispering, with a tear running down her face.
"I don't hope so, but I think yes." I'm saying coldly. After six years without worrying! Why us? Why doesn't death get bored of us and let us go?
"Yep honey?" Is Alex voice on the other side. It comforts me, but then I turn back to the real world.
"It had happen again. Or at least, I think so." Nothing. Only silence for about a minute.
"Be there in one hour. Love ya'"
"Love ya'" And put it down, while hugging Kim, which is crying. "Don't worry. We can cheat death third…"
