3:00 in the morning, the same night as "The Phone Call"
The phone was ringing at Alana and Chris's apartment, but, neither of them were awake to pick it up, soon enough though, the phone woke Chris up.
"Who the hell is calling now?" Chris said tiredly, after looking at the clock. He leaned over and picked up the phone, "Hello?"
"Chris, this is Jill, I need you to come over right away!" Jill said frantically on the other line.
"Whoa! Calm down." Chris said sitting up, "What happened?"
"I need help now, please!" Jill said, not answering the question," I think someone is breaking in!"
"Why didn't you call the police!" Chris said, sounding surprised, thinking that Jill wouldn't usually be afraid of someone breaking in, then, it dawned on him 'Umbrella'. "I'll be right over, call the police!" Chris said, getting a little louder.
"Alright." Jill said, "Bye." Then she hung up.
Chris hung up the phone and hopped out of bed, he put on some pants and a shirt, and turned to leave the bedroom, then turned back around. 'Should I wake her up?' He thought, looking at Alana, 'Nah, I'll call later.' He finished debating with himself, and ran to the door.
'This is working good so far.' Jill thought, holding a cat. "I'll just say 'oh, it was the cat, sorry for making you come all the way over here.' Then, he'd stand there for a minute, and say something like 'Well, it's just good that you're okay. So, I got to go, maybe we can do something sometime.'" Jill continued thinking about it, "Well, why don't you stay and have some coffee?' then he'd insist that he couldn't, but after some talking would stay for however long I want him too." Jill smiled to herself as the door buzzer bizzed.
Jill walked over to the intercom, and with his best panicky, frightened voice said "Hello?"
"It's me." Chris replied, "Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm alright." Jill said, pushing the door open button. Soon, there was a knock on the door. She walked over and opened it to see Chris, standing in front of her, wet from the rain, and with a worried expression on his face. "Chris I'm so glad you're here!" Jill said throwing her arms around him, "I was so scared!" She sad looking up at him.
Chris pushed her away, but only slightly. "So, where did you hear this noise?" He asked.
"Over there." Jill said pointing to one of the windows.
Chris walked over and looked at the window for a moment, then turned around, are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm positive." She said, walking over to the window, "I heard something right here." She was saying as she opened the window, and…
A cat ran over.
"It was a cat." Chris said, looking a little disappointed and relieved at the same time. "Well, I guess I better go then." He said turning towards the door.
"Why don't you stay and have some coffee, your all wet, you can stay and dry off." Jill said offeringly, looking up at him with a thoughtful smile.
"Yeah, but I can't stay, no one knows where I went, and-"
"And, you can just call." Jill said walking over to the linen closet, "Here she said handing him a towel."
"Yeah I guess I could…" Chris said looking down at the towel being offered to him, then accepting and holding it with both of his hands, "why not." He said, looking at Jill and shrugging his shoulders.
"Good." Jill said making her way over to the kitchen.
Jill's apartment was relatively small, but it was alright for one person, the kitchen and living room were sort of one room, and the bathroom and bedroom were down a small hall next to the living room.
"So…" Chris said following Jill and sitting on a stool in the kitchen next to the counter.
"Remember when we were in Raccoon, it was such a nice, little town. I think about it and wish that's where I'm going home to." Jill said, looking at Chris.
"I know what you mean," Chris said, looking at Jill, "But we can't change that now."
"I know," Jill said walking over to Chris, and taking his hand, "But we can make things they way they should've been." She said in low voice.
"Uhh…" was all Chris could mange to spit out, but he didn't pull his hand away, instead, he let Jill lean over, and kiss him.
"Uhhh…" was all he could say again afterwards, "I guess I should go…" Chris said standing up.
"No, stay here." Jill said, grabbing his arms, "Please." She ell into him and he just stood, hugging her.
'what have I gotten myself into.' He thought to himself as he stood there holding Jill.
