By perfectangel
*a/n Will comes into this chapter! *All rejoice* YAY!!!!!!! Ok, um, so enjoy! Don't forget to review after you read cause if you don't, the author gets depressed. *Sticks out her lower lip* We wouldn't want *that* would we? : )
I stood up, picked up my plate and cup, and set them on the counter, saying goodnight to my mom and Sydney as I walked to the hall. I walked slowly up the stairs at the end of the hall passing the pictures of dad on the wall by the stairs. I put my head down and kept walking, memories shoving into my mind from when he died. Once in my room, I grabbed the phone and dialed Will's number. Will was my best friend, only problem is that he seems like he is hiding something. I was determined to find out what. He was just closed up so tightly though! I sat down on my bed and leaned my head back on the pillows as it rang.
"Hello?"
"Hi Ms. Malone, is Will there?"
"Yes, hold on a minute Marina. And please just call me Mary, Ms. Malone makes me feel old." I laughed. Ms. Malone, old? No possible way.
"Hey Marina," Will greeted me happily.
"Hi Will," I said. "So, since tomorrow is Saturday do you want to do something?"
"Sure, do you want to come over?"
"If that's ok with Ms. Malo- …Mary."
"Ok, hold on let me ask," he said. I heard some voices faintly and then Will's voice saying, "She says it's fine."
"Ok, I'll see you then," I said.
"All right, good night Marina," he said.
"'Night Will," I said in farewell. I heard a click on the line then I hung up too. I put the phone down on its cradle and went to my dresser. I pulled out my pajamas and slipped them on, the warm flannel rubbing against my skin. I slipped under the covers and fell asleep right away.
I stood on the porch and rang the bell. There was some movement inside and the door swung open. Will stood in front of me with his cat curled up on his arm purring softly. He smiled although I could tell he was upset about something. "Hey, come on inside," he said.
"Ok," I said walking into the entryway. "What's wrong?" I asked.
He looked at me shaking his head and really smiling this time, "You can always tell can't you?"
"Yep," I said brightly. "So what's going on?" I pressed.
"Oh, just remembering someone who I will never see ever again," he said then stopped looking even more upset.
"I know how that is," I said thinking of my dad.
"You do?"
"Yeah, my dad."
"Oh, yeah sorry," he said.
"It's ok, I miss him. Who is it that you miss?"
"My dad, and someone else."
"Who else?"
"I don't want to talk about it ok?" he said angrily. Seeing my hurt face he added, "Sorry, I didn't mean to get mad. It's just hard." I had found out a little, he had lost his dad and someone else also, but who? I wouldn't push right now, not the right time. We spent the whole day together hanging out at his house.
That night, I asked, "Will? Do you want to come with me and watch the stars? I know it sounds weird. My dad and me used to all the time though. It's good to do when you need to think about something."
"Ok," he said a little unwillingly. We walked to my house, and lay down in the grass like I had the night before. "Wow," he whispered. "There are so many."
"Yeah," I replied. "It's beautiful isn't it?" Off to the left I heard something, then the grass in that area moved. I tapped Will on the arm and pointed. "There's something over there."
"It's probably just Kirjava," he said nonchalantly.
"What? Your pet cat?"
"She's not a pet, she's a daemon!"
"A what?!" I asked confused.
"Oh, um…" he stuttered.
*a/n BWAH HA HA! Cliffhanger! Review, and I'll be nice and continue.
