To Save A Life Ch 2
As always, this is a draft :3 it should get longer. But i did post the other chapter a little bit a go, so it's two chapters at once
Arthur signed himself out of the hospital soon after, not being able to deal with seeing them hurt anymore. He was told to start attending therapy and rehabilitation courses to cope with the loss of his arm, but he felt as though he didn't deserve it. He would deal with it.
Arthur left without even a simple goodbye. He had no visitors during his limited stay, having been kicked out by his parents just after first meeting Lewis and Vivi. The only person that would miss him would be his uncle, whenever he noticed he was even gone.
~time skip~
Vivi runs to Lewis' room happily. Today was the day he was getting out, he could go home and everything. She stopped at the door, seeing him sitting in a wheelchair with his parents. He smiles at her.
"Hey, Vivi..." He says, waving slightly
She runs forward, gently embracing him. "I'm so happy. You're finally going home." She squealed
"Me too," Lewis chuckles. "Just wish they'd let me walk, but I guess this is alright for now."
His parents smile at the two, his father moving behind the wheelchair. He starts pushing as Vivi stands, moving out of the way.
Vivi follows them out to the vehicle. They pass by Arthur's room on the way out, but he had left a week or so ago, signing himself out. Vivi spares a quick glance at the door, pushing it out of her mind and following the others, skipping.
Vivi tried not to think much of it, but Lance called and asked if they'd seen Arthur. He apparently never returned to the shop. Vivi laughed it off back then, not telling him what happened. she settled for saying that they hadn't seen each other for a while.
The phone rings again, Lewis sighing and moving to get it before Vivi, his footsteps harsh on the wooden floor. The gruff voice of Arthur's uncle could be heard on the other end.
"Lance, I have no problem with you personally, but stop calling here. Arthur is not our friend anymore. We don't talk, we don't see each other. We have been done for a while now." He stated through clenched teeth
Lance was silent for a moment, asking if something had happened.
"Yes. Something did happen, actually. He tried to kill me. Now stop calling about him already." Lewis stated, slamming the phone back into place.
Vivi cringed at the noise, worried slightly about Arthur but knowing she couldn't do anything to help. He had already tried to murder Lewis... Who's to say he wouldn't do the same to her?
~~dang, another timeskip... I'll fix this later, make it run smooth. this is still just a draft /:~~
It had been a while since the last call from Lance. Vivi and Lewis were starting to get back to their daily lives, going to work and searching for hauntings and such.
Vivi had left Lewis at home while she went to the bookstore for her shift. She opens the door, greeting her boss before setting out to work on stocking shelves. She works for a few hours before her boss calls her to her office. She hands Vivi the phone, telling her it was for her and leaving to give her some privacy.
Vivi answers with a curious but happy "hello".
Unfortunately, the caller doesn't seem to be quite as happy. They ask if this is the mystery skulls representative they are speaking to.
Vivi tells them it is, asking what they needed from the mystery skulls.
"Yes, there have been some... occurrences at my inn. things I wouldn't believe if I didn't see."
"What kind of things?" Vivi asks, excitement notable in her voice.
"Like things moving, breaking, noises, does it matter? I just need you to come out here, do whatever you need to, just please make it stop." They respond almost desperately.
"Alright, when should we come out to investigate?" Vivi asks with a sigh
"As soon as you can. I'll provide a room, anything you need. Do you have an email or something so I can send the address?" they ask
Vivi nods to herself, responding simply, "yes, hold on. It's Vivi at mystery skulls dot net"
(a/n cuz why not)
"okay... got it. how does this usually work? how long should it take?" They ask her
"Well, first we need to schedule an interview, like an intake of sorts. As for how long... It shouldn't be too long. We'll talk more then, I should really be getting back to work. If you need to contact me, then just shoot me an email."
The person thanks her before hanging up.
Vivi stands, setting the phone down and leaving to return to work. she passes by her boss, saying it was another job. she gains a small smile and curt nod in response.
Okay, sorry for not updating for a while. I had to stay up in a cowboy ranch for a while with no wifi or anything and then some stuff happened. I lost my dog to cancer (found her a couple nights ago), and I am still very sad about her passing. And I learned that my Grandma might only have a couple months left due to her cancer, which is now in her bones in addition to her lungs and liver(original diagnosis was 5 years). I am in school and working on trying to get a job, but I just haven't had the time for anything for a while. I was busy before trying to get enough to help another grandma into a nursing home and getting my sister into therapy. I know that you guys might like some of these stories, and I am sorry for my late updates, but I want to at least make everything not as bad as it is at the moment. I'm working on updates and fixing short chapters, which continue to just be drafts, but please understand this all takes time and I honestly never sleep and am always in pain. I'm too busy a lot of the time to update, and it does make me sad about that as well. I'm trying to work on at least having one decent update for everything soon. As always, thank you so much for reading and supporting me, you guys are amazing
