Chapter 4
"What's the big news?" Mark asked with worry as Joanne and Maureen entered
the apartment.
"Is everyone here?" Joanne asked.
The six others nodded, anxious looks all playing on their faces.
"Is it bad?" Collins asked.
Maureen shrugged while she sat down in a chair. "Depends on how you look at
it. In my opinion it's pretty awesome."
Joanne turned her attention to Phoebe. "I received a call today… Josh is
dead."
Phoebe's face went pale. "What…how…when?"
"Somebody killed him, I'm not sure how long he's been dead though." Joanne
answered.
Phoebe fell onto the couch, Mark quickly by her side with his arms wrapped
around her. She still had a look of worry playing on her face, her teeth now
biting her nails.
"Phoebe…hello." Roger said waving his hand in front of her face. "This is a
good thing remember. Now that he is gone for good, maybe you will stop
having all those dreams about him, and you can stop worrying about him
coming after you."
"Yeah sweetie." Angel said while joining her on the couch. "This is a good
thing."
"But what about…" Phoebe took in a breath. "My dreams…he's been hurting me
through my dreams." She franticly yelled. "Just like that fucker Kruger!"
Maureen chuckled while shaking her head. "Oh Phoebe…everyone knows that was
just a movie."
"A fucking scary ass movie." Joanne added as she took a seat on Maureen's
lap and cuddled close, the thought of the movie scaring her.
"Then explain these!" Phoebe said while she turned around and pulled up her
shirt, revealing the welt marks on her back.
Maureen gasped and then her face brightened up. "Did you convince Mark to
use a whip?" She then began clapping. "Bravo Phoebe, bravo!"
"Maureen shut up this is serious." Mimi said while hitting the diva on the
arm.
"It's bull if you ask me." Roger stated while he stood up. "I mean the guy
is dead, there is no way he can be attacking you in your dreams."
"I agree with rock star over there." Maureen stated. "Plus its your dream,
tell him to get the fuck out."
"You don't understand." Phoebe said. "He felt so real, I could feel his
breath on my neck, and the pain…it just…it was so real."
Mark pulled her into a hug once again, her arms clinging to him for dear
life.
"Listen Pheebs." Collins began. "Whether he is getting you in your sleep, or
in real life, we'll help you through this. Josh is an ass, and if he wants a
piece of me, I dare him to visit me tonight."
Angel smirked and nodded. "Yeah chica, don't worry about it. Everything is
going to be fine."
"I hope you're right…" Phoebe stated.
