Hey guys, sorry this is a short chapter, i just wanted to bring all the ends together before moving forward with it. Thank you to all you reviewers out there!
"Neela, I'm sorry." Neela failed to see the point Pratt was getting at. "It's Michael. I don't know if you saw the news last night but" Pratt faltered, but Neela knew what he was driving at.
"Oh. My. God" Neela was shocked. She stumbled backwards, reaching for the kitchen counter. Who could imagine so much going wrong within the same 24 hours? She downed a glass of water, trying to keep her hands steady. She tried to offer Pratt some water, but he mentioned something about seeing someone and left. 'Lucky it's my day off' though Neela, sarcastically. Actually she'd have preferred doing something, it would take her mind off things. Then, suddenly, grief overwhelmed her. Three people close to her had died in the past 24 hours; she couldn't believe it!
It was about midday when the floods of tears ceased. Then she remembered she'd told Sonita that she would call her back. And she remembered Abby and ray in the hospital and the tears started to stream again. The 'phone rang around 2, and Neela attempted to find composure before answering it.
"Neela" It was Ray's voice.
"Ray?"
"Yes. Could you bring some of my stuff over to the hospital?"
"I'm not really in the-" Ray cut her off.
"Please Neela. Just some small things. And I need to talk to you anyway, it's better if we do it face to face.2
"Alright. But only this once."
"Cheers Neela. Right I need clothes, " Ray promptly reeled off a list of things he needed. Way too many for Neela to remember …"and my guitar"
"Your guitar? What on earth do you need that for?"
"I'll tell you when you get here."
"Fine, I'm on my way."
Neela had no hassle remembering all the things Ray wanted. She wasn't sure that she should go to the hospital, she still had to phone her sister, but she decided doing something was better than nothing, so she set off for County.
Look Ray's not dead! I don't know what made you think he was. It is very different character who has died. I'm going to stop begging for revviews, but please do anyway. Upside-down Dreamer.
