Amanda closed the front door and placed her keys on the hook next to the door. She sighed in relief that Danny wasn't up.
"Welcome home." Said a scary calm voice from the living
room.
'Damn!' Amanda cursed to her self and made her way to where
her cousin sat. Danny sat very calmly
reading a book under a lamp.
"Aren't you gonna chew me out?" She asked the older woman
who simply looked at her over her glasses and smirked.
"Amanda how old are you?" She asked placing the book down.
"Eighteen in two weeks."
"Right, now when you are eighteen you can stay out late as
long as you want but since your not you are to be home at eleven on the
dot. Understood?" Danny looked at the
girl with piercing eyes. She had always
been over protective of her since mom died.
"Understood." Amanda said and made her way to her bed room,
leaving Danny to her book.
*~*~*~*~*
Amanda looked at the white cordless phone next to her
bed. She picked it up and dialed a
number. The line rang three times
before leaving an answering machine.
"Hi this is Izzy, I'm not here right now, but leave me a
message and I'll call you back."
"Izzy, it's Amanda call me back." With that she hung up the phone and took a deep breath. She looked under her bed and found a old
beaten shoe box. She took it out and
placed it in front of her.
"I nee dot get a new one." She told her self and opened it
up. Inside were pictures and objects of
her life. She took out an old photo
that showed three girls. One was her,
one looked just like her but had short hair, and a girl with pink hair. Amanda smiled at the photo. She turned it over and read the old
writing. It had three different hand
writing's on it.
"Life goes on but true friends are never forgotten. When things are tough, we hold on to the
end. – Amanda"
"Everyone hears what you
say, friends listen to what you say, best friends listen to what you don't say.
– Marie"
"A hug is worth a thousand words, a friend is worth more! –
Mimi"
Amanda looked at the hand writing over and over then
clutched it to her chest remembering a night some years ago…
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"No! Mimi help me!"
A young girl screamed dressed in flannel pant's and a small gray T.
"Sorry love, your on your own. I don't get involved with sister fights." Mimi said sitting on
the bed clicking on the remote as two girls wrestled on the floor. It was all fun and games until one of the
girls cried out in pain.
"Marie!" Mimi and Amanda yelled in unison.
"OW! Mandy that
hurt!" Marie yelled running to the bathroom holding her hand.
"What happened?" Mimi said coming up behind her friend.
"Nothing bad, just a small cut." Marie said cleaning off the
blood on her hand. Then Mandy appeared
and looked at her twin sister with sympathy. She took a pair of scissors from one of the drawers in the bathroom and
cut her right hand. Marie gaped at
her. Mandy smiled and started to wash
her hand.
"Like mom always said, what is the honor in fighting someone
weaker then you." Mandy said then smiled at her twin. She smiled back and laughed.
"Your crazy!"
"We're related!"
Mimi rolled her eyes at the laughing sisters and left.
~*~*~*~*~*~
The constant ringing of her phone woke Amanda from her
dream. She looked at the clock. 12:34 were in big red letters. She picked up the phone.
"Hello?" She said her voice still groggy with sleep.
"Amanda. It's Izzy,
you needed to talk? Sorry I called so
late I had some stuff to finish up."
"No it's okay, I need to ask you something about that night
when Marie…"
"Take your time. What's the matter?"
"I'll start form the beginning…"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Matt laid on his bed starring at the piece of paper Amanda
stuffed in his pocket before he left.
Amanda, 872-7453. Call me!
A smile came a cross his lips, of all the guys at the club
she gave her number to him. She asked
him to call her. He looked at the clock
and frowned.
/It's to late to call her now. Tomorrow would be the best time./ She smiled to him self again,
thinking of her beautiful angelic face smiling at him.
His phone broke his trance.
"Hello?" Matt asked wondering who would call this late.
"Hey cutie! It's
Mimi!"
"Hey Mimi, did Sora call you?"
"Yeah she told me everything. Hey Matt, did you meet a Amanda Carter yet?"
"Yeah she's real cool why?"
"Well sorry to tell you this boy, but I got some bad news…"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Wow that's…harsh." Izzy said after Amanda was done with her
story.
"Yeah, but I'm cool now although Mimi still don't think
that."
"Don't worry Mandy, things will be fine. I'm sure I can help you."
"Thanks Izzy, and Izzy?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't mention this to anyone okay, it'd be hard to explain
to a group of people."
"Don't worry, my lips are sealed. I better go now it's late."
"Okay, bye Izzy."
"Bye Mandy."
A click on the other end ended the conversation.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"No way!" Matt yelled into the phone after Mimi was done
talking.
"I'm serious Matt, that girls bad news! Why do you think she transferred from here
to there so quickly?"
Matt was quiet, could Mimi be telling the truth.
"Even if it was Mimi, I find it hard to believe that she
would do something like that, hell why would anyone do something like that?"
"I don't know why but I don't want to see you get hurt."
"So she killed her sister?"
"Twin sister, Marie was a great person, I guess Amanda jut
got too jealous. Then hid the
body. She told me everything."
"I got to go Mimi, bye."
"Bye Matt, see you later."
A click ended his conversation.
Matt put the phone down and thought.
/It isn't true. Amanda wouldn't do that, why would she kill her own sister?/ But then again Mimi never did lie to Matt
and he didn't know Amanda very well…
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It's done! Chapter
three is done! I am so proud of my
self. Do you wanna see if it's
true? Do you wanna know what really
happened to Amanda's sister and why she tells Izzy about it? Then send me those reviews! You'll know once I get at least four.
