*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When Galia burst into tears after her father had told her something, I wondered what was wrong. What had happened? I put a hand on her shoulder and she turned and threw her arms around my neck and cried into my shoulder. Benny looked a little confused.
"Did she know this Gregory Shaw?" he asked me.
"What happened, Mr Hockey?"
Benny told me what had happened and I gasped. "Yeah. Gregory Shaw asked her out on a date last week. Galia's had her eye on him. From what I hear he was a nice guy."
"Oh lordie. Why does all the crap that happens around here got to do with me?"
"What do you mean, Mr Hockey?"
"Randal Hockey is my little brother, unfortunately." Benny left the room; telling me he was going to ring my mum, tell her what happened and stuff.
I comforted Galia for a long time.
*~*~*
A few days after Galia had found out that Gregory had been killed, as well as her friend Lila, she was quite as the grave. She didn't eat, cried herself to sleep, and didn't talk unless really necessary. I tried to talk to her, but she would just ignore me. She kept staring at the photo of Gregory and another of Lila in the yearbook, as if trying to imagine they weren't dead. I felt so bad. But I don't know why. I swore to myself that those bastards would pay for what they did to Galia. And they would pay big time. I wish I knew how though.
(Hilary's POV) A/N: Hilary is Ria's friend from school. In case you've forgotten.
I walked up the street toward Bag End, where Ria lived. She'd missed school for a little while because she had hit her head on a rock and now she was in Silverwood, with her friend, Kane. I wanted to see Mrs Baggins anyway. She was nice. I may turn twelve next week, but Mrs Baggins has always been there. Since my mum left my dad and me and my twin brother, Scott, to go across the sea and live with her new partner, Mrs Baggins has sort of been my adoptive mum. She's cool.
When I knocked on the door of Bag End, Mrs Baggins opened the door with a slight frown on her face, when she saw it was me, she smiled and gave me a hug. I gave her the flowers I was holding.
"Oh, Hilary! These are beautiful! Thank you!" she said. I smiled.
"No problem, Mrs Baggins."
"Hilary, how many times have I told you to call me Jamie? Or J, whichever. You know I don't like formal stuff."
"Okay, sorry. Do you know when Ria will get home?"
"She'll be in Silverwood for a while yet, Hilary. Her sister and brothers are in Lorien."
"Why is Ria in Silverwood, J?"
"I can't tell you, Hilary, it's private family business. I'm sorry."
"It's okay. I understand."
Later, when I went home, I pulled out my writing paper. I pulled out the pen Ria had given me for my eleventh birthday.
'Dear Ria,' I wrote. 'Hello! It's me, Hilary. Are you having fun in Silverwood? How're Kane and Vincent? Most importantly, when are you coming home? They are holding auditions for the end-of-year play in about three or four weeks. I think we are doing a comedy. Taming of the Shrew, I think. You certainly would make a good Katherina! Only joking. Anyway, come home soon, Scott and me and even Dad are starting to miss you heaps! Luv, Your friend, Hilary.'
I put the letter in an envelope and sealed it, writing Ria Baggins, c/o The Silver Stallion Inn, Silverwood. Jamie had told me where she was staying a few days ago. Might as well make the best of it.
