Jack couldn't believe what he had done. He entered the house and closed the door behind him, tried to go to his room but the guys stopped him. Again, the brown-haired boy tried to go away but finally decided to listen what they had to say.
"Ok, guys. You're my friends tell me whaddaya think."
"You deserved that." Skittery pointed his face, which was red because Chocolates had slapped him.
"Why?"
"You should listen to what you said Jack you were a ... monster." Race looked at him. "You were cruel and irrational."
"And could ya tell me what did I had to do?" he said angrily. "Run after her?"
"Comfort her? Do you think she wants to go, know that she won't see you in a while?" Dutchy suggested.
Jack agreed. "She asked me for a hug, a kiss and I said no. She'll never forgive me." He took the ring out of his pocket- "What have I done?"
"Give the goily a break" Skittery suggested. "She's hurt and it won't be that easy to forgive you. Just let her think a little about it for a few days maybe and then talk to her."
"I'll do that. Thanks, pals." He entered his room.
The next day, Chocolates was in her house with her roommates and Skittery, they were having a lot of fun, but her separation with Jack became a subject of conversation.
"Maybe... maybe I was selfish. Why should I leave him behind?" Chocolates asked.
"No, no." Sparks repeated. "You should go, he'll bet desperate and miss you."
"She's right." Skittery smiled. "But would you give him a chance?"
Chocolates remained silent.
"Would ya?" Spaz asked again.
"Yeah..." she nodded. "Why not?"
"But don't do anything until he asks you to forgive him." Bookworm warned her.
"I ... I know."
"Fine!" the other kids said in chorus.
"Guys, I don't wanna talk about it right now... the pain is still too fresh." She wiped her tears.
The last days were the same, both: Chocolates and Jack here depressed, wanting to talk, to see each other, to kiss, to hug, to be together. Nobody could understand why they were ignoring each other, but nobody dared to tell them about it. Chocolates spent almost every day in bed, she was mostly crying, she didn't even get up, eat or do anything. She just cried.
"Choco dear... we have to go out for a minute but Skittery is gonna stay wit ya, ok?" Sparks spoke.
"Ok... be back soon, ok?"
"Ok, bye."
"Bye"
After the girls left, Skittery entered the room and sat on Sparks' bed .Chocolates smiled at him and he smiled back. The boy knew what Chocolates was going through, he had been with her the last week, and he knew that leaving for her it would be harder now. After talking for a while they fell asleep, waiting for the girls to come. Somebody knocked the door.
"Eh, goily. I'se just go to see who's knocking, ok?"
"Fine."
Skittery ran out of the room and opened the door. A man with a suit and a briefcase turned around. Skittery looked at him for a while before talking.
"Can I tell you'se mistah?"
"Yes, you may young man." The man answered.
"So tell me, in what can I help you'se?" Skittery raised an eyebrow.
"Yes: I'm looking for Miss Cristina Jones. Does she live here?"
"Ok, ok. Gimme a second."
"Thanks."
"Who's looking for her?"
"Ezra Callaghan."
"Choco?" Skittery opened the door.
"Yeah?"
"A mistah Ezra Callaghan is looking fer ya."
"Who is he?" She got out of bed.
"Dunno a man in a suit."
"I'll see." She went to the living room, where the man was sitting down. "Hello."
"Hello, Ms. Jones. My name is Ezra Callaghan... your grandmother's lawyer."
"Nice to meet you." They shook hands.
"Well, you must have received a letter to go to London."
"Yes, sir. I'll be leaving in a week."
"No Miss, it won't be necessary."
"Why? Is she ok?" She looked at the man,
"No Miss, I've been notified that your grandmother passed away. She was very sick" The man said as Chocolates whimpered. "You'll be inheriting all her belongings when you get 21 and we have to have a meeting to set up some things."
"Ok..." she looked at the floor.
"Now I must leave." The man said and Chocolates led him out of the house. "Ill be in contact with you, Miss Jones."
"Thank you." Chocolates didn't know what to say.
"Good afternoon."
After Chocolates closed the door, Skittery went close to her. "So, what did he say, Choco?"
"I don't have to go to London anymore."
"Really?" the boy ran his hand through his hair.
"She died." She sobbed again and Skittery ran to hug her.
"Hullo!" Sparks came running. "Wha..."
"Her grandmother died." Skittery whispered. The girls ran to hug her as she cried.
"You'll be back with Jack now..." Bookworm cheered her up.
"I hope so; now that I'll stay here I really hope so."
