Chapter 22: Taking The Easy Way Out
John and Randy went back to the hotel to think about the situation and just wait for tomorrow for their flight out of there but it might be too late.
"You know when we get there, they could be gone. They could leave and pack up and leave and go to wherever by the time we arrive." John said.
"Come on we still have to believe, we have to believe that they'll change their minds and maybe they'll forgive us." Randy said.
"Maybe, they will, also maybe they won't go anywhere, plus they have no where to go, they're just going to have to stay at our houses." John said.
"Then again what if they did forget about us? Maybe they really don't want to get back with us?"
"Yeah, I thought about that, and I'm actually starting to believe that that may happen."
They sat there and thought about how much they messed up in this situation, and how they acted like assholes to them and how they wouldn't even forgive themselves for acting like that.
"Man, I should've just agreed with what Torrie said, and I shouldn't have yelled and got mad at her, now it's over for me and her."
"At least you had a chance, I didn't, and I just yelled and yelled and ended it myself and messed it up. This is my entire fault now, after I did that, now I don't have a shot at her anymore coming back to me. I've ruined any chance of being happy anymore, it's over for us."
"You're right about that, what are we going to do now? John asked.
Just then, the door opens and in comes the 2 mysterious figures once again, and it made John and Randy fall to the floor as they were expecting another ass whooping.
"Listen we tried but we couldn't make it in time." Randy said backing off.
"Yeah, you can't hold that against us, we tried but didn't make it." John said repeating it.
They just stared at them, not saying anything, just staring at them with their hoods on.
"So what are you going to do to us?" Randy asked.
They walked forward, and got closer to them, then they stuck their hands out and they helped them up.
"Nothing, we're just here to talk." One of them said.
"About what?" John asked.
"About what happened, we understand what happened, and we're sorry about that because it was partially our fault, because if we hadn't kicked your ass for like 10 minutes then you would've made it."
"Actually that never crossed our minds, but we don't care about that, we're more worried about the future." John said.
"What, that you think you guys are going to be alone and never having them with you ever again?"
"Yeah, pretty much." Randy said.
"Well the only thing left for you guys to do is try again when you get back."
"It's not going to be that easy." John said.
"So, everything's not going to be easy, just get used to it you little pussy."
"Maybe." John said.
"Don't make us come back here and whoop your ass again, now get some rest and get ready for the biggest day of your life." One of them said as they walked out.
"They're right it's going to be big." John said.
"What do you mean by that?" Randy asked.
"I'll tell you later, let's just get some rest."
Stacy and Torrie arrived at about midnight in Mass, and they decided to go to Torrie and John's empty house first just to look to see if it's still in good shape which it was and then they went to Stacy and Randy's house where all of John's stuff was still there. When they got in the house they were exhausted, and wanted to rest, as soon as they got in the house there was the recliner, who's seat was backwards, then the recliner turned around and there was Christian sitting down eating an apple.
"What's sup guys?" He asked.
"Christian what are you doing here? I thought you were in Dallas still?" Stacy asked.
"Come on, there's a problem that obviously needs my help once again."
"There isn't a problem here, so your instincts are wrong." Torrie said.
"Really, well then I should ask you guys about that favor you guys owe me."
"What favor?" Stacy asked.
"Come on, I saved you guys so many times, you owe me a few favors."
"Fine what do you want?" Torrie asked.
"Talk to the guys."
"No." They both said.
"Come on."
"It's over between all of us."
"Fine, I won't bother you about that but I'll be staying at John's house tonight, see you tomorrow when the guys come back." With that he left leaving them by themselves.
"What do we do since they're coming tomorrow?" Torrie asked.
"Just get wait and see what happens I guess." Stacy said, they then left to go to bed.
The next day, John and Randy's flight was cancelled, so they had to get another flight which was delayed, by the time they got on a flight it was nearly dark outside. They arrived late in the day at about 9 P.M and they were in their car going to John's house. They arrived at about 10 and saw Christian sleeping on the couch, but they didn't wake him up, they just stared at him until he woke up.
"What the hell do you guys want?" He asked.
"Here take this." John said as he handed him a note, "give this to them." Then they left.
"You ready?" John asked.
"Yeah." Randy said as they put their guns in their pockets and went to some unknown location.
Christian read the note, so he knew what was going on and he was shocked to read that and went over to see Stacy and Torrie.
Stacy and Torrie stayed when they realized and found out that their flight was cancelled, but they didn't know that they got on another flight. They were talking about something when they heard a frantic knocking on the door so they ran over answered it, and there was Christian out of breath with the note in his hands.
"What's wrong?" Torrie asked.
"They, they…" He couldn't finish because he was out of breath because he ran for a few blocks when his car broke down, so he just handed it to them.
The note read:
Dear Stacy and Torrie,
We realize that you guys will never forgive us for what we did. You guys know that we will never be responsible or committed guys in relationships. We also realize that without you guys our lives are incomplete without you, but with that we know that you guys won't come back with us, which puts us in a difficult predicament. We can't be live without you and you won't be with us, so that leaves us without any other choice. We have no reason to live anymore, at midnight tonight we've decided to end our lives and end the pain and take the easy way out. Once again we're sorry for what we did and we wish you guys the best of luck, go find your real true loves, go find what you want and we'll be looking down at you guys and will be smiling.
Love Always, John and Randy.
"NO!" Torrie and Stacy screamed when they read it.
"Why would they do that to themselves?" Torrie asked.
"It's all our fault, why did we push them away?" Stacy said as they were frantic trying to figure out what to do.
"We have to stop them but we don't know where they're going, what do we do?" Torrie said pacing.
"Calm down, we still got an hour and a half to find them, so let's get going." Christian said.
They grabbed their jackets and opened the door and saw that it was snowing really bad, they could barely see outside.
"How come you didn't tell us it was snowing?" Torrie asked.
"Look out your window for once and look at me covered in snow, I thought you guys might recognize that it was snowing based on that."
"Whatever, let's go." Stacy said.
"What did you expect, it's December and we're on the east coast." Christian said as they piled into the car and went a searching.
At a local park John and Randy were standing in the snow in suits nonetheless.
"Why are we wearing suits?" Randy asked.
"This way when they bury us, they don't have to touch us because we're already in our suits." John explained.
"Right, just 1 more hour and the pain is gone."
They stood there just staring at the snow falling, thinking about it, dying on Christmas day, when midnight hits so do the guns, when Christmas starts their lives end.
In the car Christian, Torrie and Stacy were looking at every corner, every little place trying to see them through the snow.
"We can't see in this snow." Torrie said.
"We're never going to get to them, by the time we do we'll be seeing their dead bodies." Stacy said.
"Shut up guys, I'm trying here and I don't need those kind of images in my head right now." Christian said.
They were driving thinking it was hopeless, they started thinking about what they could've done to stop this, and on Christmas, this was not going to be the best Christmas they've had. Meanwhile Christian was smiling in his head, he knew where they were but he wasn't going there till the last possible minute, he was stalling for time he wants to them to wait and think about it.
A/N: I know this chapter is kind of touchy with a mention of suicide, hopefully no one is offended by it and you enjoy it. You all know I always leave a cliffhanger at the end, it's just that I feel bad if I don't put a cliffhanger in, I want people to keep reading and for them to look forward to something. If you haven't noticed I've put the setting of this right now in December, plus just for reference I don't live in Boston or the east coast, I assume snow happens in the east coast, I mean I don't know. Anyway hope you like the next twist I've added, and here's the preview:
Next Time: Christian continues his joy ride as he waits. Can he get there in time? If they make it can they convince them to change their minds? Or will the guns go off? The chapter you've all been waiting for, possibly the death of the guys, stay tuned and this SHOCKING ending that will surprise you!
