Requiem of the Heart

Ages of characters are at the prologue.

Chapter4: Love Lost

(Continuing from last chapter)

"Let me at HER!" Angelica screamed as Susie and Kimi held her back, "I'm going to KILL that little bitch!"

"What's going on here?" the librarian demanded angrily and her voice proved that she was coming their way.

Lil meanwhile was coughing and taking in deep breaths as she got air into her starved lungs.

"We've got to get out of here," Kimi whispered to Susie, "if the librarian sees us, we're dead," she said.

"Okay," Susie agreed, "Lil," she said and after a while Lil finally looked in her direction, "open the side door over there," she ordered, "we HAVE to get out of here before the librarian catches us," she said urgently.

Lil immediately realized what Susie meant and despite being shaky as she got on her feet and nearly slipping twice, she quickly hurried to the side door and opened it.

Seconds later Susie and Kimi hurried through it carrying an irate Angelica who was now shouting expletives. Just then the librarian appeared and saw only the open side door and heard running and shouting. Muttering angrily to herself, she closed the side doors and went back to her post.

(Later After School)

Angelica walked out of school in a fury. Lil had apologized several times but she didn't care.

If I lose Chuckie because of her she's dead. (Angelica's thoughts)

"Ooof," Angelica said as she bucked into someone.

"Oh sorr…" Z started to apologize but then noticed Angelica's face contort in anger, "I said I was sorry!"

"What happened that night with Phil?" Angelica snarled at Z.

Z paled and the next second he was on his feet and running away. Angelica quickly got to her feet and gave chase. As Z took a corner he nearly knocked down Tommy who was on his cell phone.

"Watch it!" Tommy shouted angrily but Z didn't respond and just kept right on running.

Moments later Angelica turned the corner and only saw Tommy.

"Did you see where that rat Z went?" Angelica demanded.

Tommy glared at Angelica hatefully.

"What?" Angelica snapped.

Tommy simply walked away talking softly on his cell phone.

Whatever. I'm not about to waste my time on my idiotic cousin. (Angelica's thoughts)

"Wait until I find you," Angelica snarled and continued to look for Z.

(One Hour Later at the Finster Residence)

"This is SERIOUS guys," Kimi said, "if Angelica's telling the truth," she continued, "then Lil just ruined her relationship with Chuckie for nothing."

"I SAID I was sorry," Lil responded angrily, "and it's not like we know for sure anyway," she reminded them, "maybe she's lying about Z," she pointed out.

"I wouldn't be so sure," Susie said darkly.

"What?" Kimi asked.

"I saw Angelica chasing him down earlier," Susie revealed.

"She was chasing my boyfriend?" Kimi asked incredulously.

"From what I saw he seemed to have a reason for running," Susie told Kimi.

"Well he WAS running from Angelica," Lil said sarcastically.

"I MEAN that he seemed to have something to hide," Susie said testily, "Kimi," she said, "can you try and ….?" She started to ask.

"Of course," Kimi said immediately, "if he's hiding anything I'll get it out of him," she declared.

"That's if," Lil muttered to herself.

(Meanwhile at Angelica's House)

"Hello Chuckie," Angelica said softly over the phone.

"I've called to tell you that it's over," Chuckie said coldly.

"What?" Angelica asked.

"You and me," Chuckie told her.

"No Chuckie wait I can expla…." Angelica started to say.

"Explain what!" Chuckie exploded, "that you purposely fucked Phil and probably pregbnant for him?" he demanded.

Angelica was too shocked to answer.

"I thought so," Chuckie said, "never call me again Angelica," he told her, "don't try to see me again either," he continued, "I'm sickened by the very thought that I used to be in love with you," he said and a click told Angelica that he had hung up.

Angelica let the phone drop from her hands.

She had just lost Chuckie. Possibly forever.
