Evonne had rushed out of class early complaining of a headache and then snuck away from the nurses office. The air around her as she walked was still. The afternoon rush hour had not yet begun.
She reaches her house and searches for the key. The keys jingle as she pushes open the door to the silent house. The silence hits her and makes her remember that her mother is no longer here. She knows that she probably won't ever see her again.
Evonne sits at her desk for a long time and does nothing. She doesn't know how long she has been sitting there but the light is already fading from the sky. For some reason unknown to her, she picks up a pen and begins to write.
Regret
No one knows when they're going to die. No one is guaranteed a good-bye. Death lurks around every corner. What will you do if you were told you would die tomorrow? What would you say? What would it be worth? Because if tomorrow come without you, how will you say all the all-important I Love You.
Craig.
Craig arrives at Evonne's house at 5:00 in the afternoon. It took all afternoon to find Angie and get Joey's permission to bring her to Evonne's house. Sure enough, he can see a light on in one of the rooms on the second floor.
He hears a scream and his eyes widen he drops Angie's hand and tells her to stay where she is and not to move.
"Evonne! Evonne!"
Evonne is kicking and attempting to scream but someone has clamped their hand over her nose and mouth. She faints from lack of air and the mystery person pulls her out the window and down the back of the house.
Craig bangs against the door until he realizes that Evonne hasn't locked the front door. He runs up the stairs to Evonne's bedroom. There is no one there he turns around and all he sees is an open window.
He picks up the phone and dials for the police. Within minutes, the police arrive. Angie looks around nervously. Craig holds her hand tightly as if she will disappear as well.
"Son, could you come here a moment."
The policeman motions to Craig to come over. Angie follows him silently.
"Can you tell us what happened?"
"I came over to find Evonne but when I got to her front door I heard her scream."
"How did you get into the house?"
"I was banging the door and when I tried the handle she had left it unlocked."
The policeman nods. He can tell that the boy standing in front of him is extraordinarily nervous and cannot possibly be considered as a suspect in addition to that he has his younger sister with him.
"Thank-you, we'll let you know if something comes up."
Craig nods numbly and walks Angie home in silence. They walk inside the house and Joey comes out to greet them. His smile quickly disappears after seeing Craig's expression. Craig has to explain what happened to Joey again.
Craig sits on the sofa and remains silent for a long time. Even Angie who is usually bubbly and overactive is strangely subdued.
"Where's Evonne?"
Angie's voice sounds so strange as she stares up at Craig. Joey silences her quickly. Craig's expression does not change. One might guess that it was because he had gone through too much already and that his heart was already too numb to feel. But Craig is hurting Joey understands that.
Somewhere in the back of Craig's mind, he wonders whether he will ever see Evonne again. Craig goes to his room and shuts the door. He can heard the television turn on downstairs.
Amazingly, everything that has happened seems to dissolve. Craig soon falls into a deep sleep.
"Craig."
Craig looks up to see Evonne standing at the bottom of his bed. He sits up and squints.
"Evonne?"
Evonne just smiles at him and doesn't reply. Evonne seems translucent and she is giving off a light from within her. She stands there smiling serenely at Craig. Craig reaches out and tries to grab her arm.
His hand goes through her, Craig frowns and looks up at Evonne's face.
"Evonne."
Evonne continues to smile at him and slowly she fades away.
Craig opens his eyes and finds himself staring into the darkness. It was nothing but a dream. His breath is shallow and he is sweating profusely.
"Evonne."
His whisper seems to be lost he can hardly speak. He glances at his digital clock. Its glowing digits tell him that it is 4:30 am. Craig groans and flops back down on the bed. He falls asleep again; the next time he wakes, it will be 7:30.
