The screeching of the telephone rang in the angost emptyness of the house, the tense calm and it's delicate structure was inmediatly shattered to pieces.
"hello?" inquired a tired voice, a tone that gave out the lack of sleep and the constant crying, even the sadness conquering the caring heart.
"hello, can I speak to Kari?" inquired a deep, manly voice, yet the slight trembling of his voice made it obvious that his nerves were about to shatter, like the silence previously.
"Kari…left!" sobbed the woman, placing a hand to her mouth, to keep a strangled sob from being heard by the caller.
"where did she go?" inquired the man once more, oblivious to the reality of the situation.
"I don't know…she left!" unable to keep the situation any more, Kari's mother hanged the phone with an abrupt move that made the plastic crack. Inmediatly after he covered her mouth with shock, memories returning to her mind, tears glittered as they ran down her cheeks, reflecting all the thoughts that coursed her mind.
It was true that Kari had been in contact for these past two months, calling her parents and specially Yoley, being informed about the ongoing and informing them about her well being and her situation. It was also true that ever since she left, Kari had sounded happier in her current situation than she had been ever since Jake broke their relation.
A shadow towered over a certain violet haired woman, who was calmly sitting on a rotten, wooden bench, reading a small, pocket novel while she waited patiently for the arrival of her friends. Yoley, curiously, looked up at the tall figure, a man nearly 190, yet with a well built constitution. He had flashing dark hair, glossy as if it was humid, and spiked up. His features were fine, perfect lips, the sweetest smile, a straight nose, and the most incredible eyes, a glisten between blue and green, with tints of brown sprinlkled around the iris.
Yoley's eyes narrowed angrily, "what do you want Jake?" she inquired in a terse, annoyed voice. Yoley knew perfectly well it was not his fault that Kari had been so depressed, and had decided as a last resort to take some time away from everything, however, she had been her best friend for a long time and it hurted her greatly to seeing her consuming into darkness.
Jake lowered his head in shame, yet his fingers were rolled into a tight fist, "It was not my fault Yoley, I just needed time!" he deffended himself with a tight voice.
"look Jake, I know, but it hurts me greatly, Kari was terribly depressed for the months after you broke up, she is my best friend and it hurted me a lot!" Yoley explained in a softer voice, while her fingers played with the corner of a page.
"I c!" sighed the young man relaxing his muscles, "anyways, where is she?" he inquired returning to the point that concerned his sudden appereance in such neighbourghood, so far from his own.
"why do you want to know?" inquired Yoley, narrowing her eyes as suspicion flowed within the boiling structure of her blood, the unstable bonds tensing and relaxing with speed.
"I want to say I was sorry, and that I regretted my decition about breaking up, I cant live without her!" explained the man waving his arms in emphasis to his words, his eyes glowing with a light of hope and pure nostalgy in the depths of his curious orbs.
"Jake, I think you should have…" Yoley started but was cut off by a pair of strong, muscular arms encircling her waist.
The girl turned around grinning, and her lips were inmediatly pressed against those of a young, red headed man, arms placed tenderly over his shoulders, and caramel eyes glowing with mischief. The black depths of the strange, technician looking boy, stared deep into the flaming atractiveness of the woman.
"Yoley sweet, I think I've found it!" the man exclaimed happily placing down a small, completely thin yet powerful Machintosh laptop, and oppening it with eagerness.
"oh Izzy, not again!" moaned the girl with great displeasure, knowing well the path the man's words were dangerously taking.
"found what?" inquired Jake, excited and always interested in exchanging theories with the intelligent computer maniac.
"the Matrix!" said Izzy in a misterious, hissing tone, no louder than a deep whisper, black eyes staring at the man with a penetrating gaze that sent a current of chills rushing past his vertebral column.
"yeah ok, you'll tell him later!" Yoley said making it obvious that the boy's interests roamed around finding the misterious Matrix of which they spoke in the famous movies, and were becoming intensely repeptitive.
"listen Jake, I don't know where Kari is, but I do know she's better off there than she was with you, she's doing fine, has found a job and is passing her studies with perfect grades, so I do ask you something, leave her alone" Yoley finished her speech in a clear, calm voice, not wanting to break her friendship with the man yet not wanting to destroy the young teenager's happiness either.
Jake looked at Yoley, then at Izzy in search of help, or a response, yet being received by a simpatheic look. His eyes traveled back to Yoley's icy calm ones, then retreated to find the grey and dirty floor very interesting.
"I c" sighed Jake in deception, defeat and shame, never looking up. His feet started carrying him away from the couple, he could hear the giggles of enjoyment and the gentle sound of humidity as the two deepened into a pasionate kiss. Jake, unable to hold the intensity of his feelings, started a quick trot torwards the bus stop, his stomach shaking with a burning sensation, and his eyes itching with the pressence of salty tears. He missed her greatly and would do anything to get her back, yet he didn't know where to beging, and if he had to face her right now he would never know how to start to apologize. Something he knew for sure, he would get her back.
