Chapter 38
Cody?
?'s POV
I look at my locket for the tenth time in a week.
I stare at the two pictures in it.
One of the picture is of my brother and I.
I'm smiling, like I always do, and my brother's wearing his signature glare.
Even after all of these years, I still find humor in my brother's attitude, or at least what it used to be.
The other one was of my mother and I.
My mother was smiling with me, her hands on both of my shoulders while I stand in front of her.
I feel a tear slide down my face, which I hastily wipe it away.
Man, it's not safe not to see where you're going in the middle of a crowd in Toronto.
I feel myself getting pushed around by the crowd as they go to their own destinations.
I carry on my way, but not before being stared at by this random orange cat.
But why does she seem so familiar?
I shrug the thought away and walked back to my house.
My house is average.
It's a two story house and a decent size.
I open the door and lock it behind me, hoping that no fan girls followed behind me this time...
Oh you might laugh, but you don't have any ideas how creepy it is to arrive home and find a girl only in her undergarments laying on your bed... who's a complete stranger.
Well luckily, no half-naked girls were on my bed today as I sat on my couch and flipped on the TV.
"Hm... boring... dull... kid-stuff..."
I sigh and turn it off, nothing grabbing my attention.
I stood up and picked up my electric guitar and started to strum randomly on it.
If you haven't guessed I am in a band, The Ferocious Felines, and I'm the guitarist slash singer.
There's Leeway, the drummer, Gavin, the bass player slash back up singer, Ben, the technician and Shannon, a fellow guitarist slash singer.
And if you didn't guess, we were all cats, you know, Ferocious Felines.
I decided to call Shannon, who was also my girlfriend.
*Ring...Ring...Ring...Click!*
Hello?
I smiled, "Hey baby girl!"
Oh, hi Cody!
God I love her, "What are you doin'?"
I could hear her sigh, Nothing much... what about you?
It was my turn to sigh, "Same here."
You wanna get together?
I nodded, "Sure, you wanna pick the place?"
Mmmm... how about the movies? I heard that a new movie came out!
I scratch my chin, "You mean 'Scott Pilgrim Versus the World'?"
No...
"'Salt'?"
Try again!
"I give up!"
Black Swan!
I gave a nervous smile, "Oh yeah! Heh, yeah, 'Black Swan'..."
Let's watch it!
I rolled my eyes, "Fine, let's make it a date."
Alright! Pick me up at 5!
I look at the clock, it was 4:30.
"Alright then, love ya!"
Bye! *Kiss*
She hangs up and I sigh, "I just hope that the movie doesn't bore me to death."
I look at myself in the mirror, staring at my reflection, "Hm, what would she like?"
I was wearing a sleeveless black shirt with gray jeans where it's ripped in the knees.
I was also wearing black fingerless gloves and a black beanie, I guess you can call it my trademark.
Around my neck was a gold chain with the locket on it and a silver chain with a silver cross.
I sigh, "Maybe I should just go as I am? … Although, I think I should at least brush my teeth and shower."
In Leo's and Aeris' apartment, General POV
Leo, Aeris, and Tyler were sitting in the living room, mindlessly watching TV when Leo spoke up, "So Tyler, where were you?"
Tyler sighed, "I was in the streets, trying to lose myself in the crowd."
Aeris couldn't help but laugh, "What? Does that even work?"
The orange cat nodded, "Yeah, it helped, but then I think I saw Xander."
Leo shook his head, "Look, I know you care a lot about Xander, but he is in the hospital. The doctor said himself that it would take at least 3 days for him to recover, not a few hours."
Tyler shook her head, "I know, it's just that I'm sure that I saw him..."
The gray cat stood up from the couch, "I know just the thing to get him off of your mind, a movie!"
Aeris stood up, "As long as you're paying, I'm game."
Tyler shrugged, "Might as well."
Leo went on his, or rather, Aeris' laptop to check if any movies were playing, "Aw man, the only thing that's going to play soon is 'Black Swan'!"
Tyler tilted her head, "I heard that it got lots of positive reviews."
Aeris grabbed her coat and made way to the door, "Then what are we waiting for, let's get a move on!"
