I left Brick and Brent to handle the mess of the two bodies. The disposed of them while I came up with a cover story. I needed something clean up where they won't need to see the body...Before my brain could properly come up with ideas, I was interrupted by my phone. It was Boomer so i answered without hesitation. "What's wrong? Is Dad okay?!"
"Fine, turn the tv to the news. Now" There was urgency in his voice. I walked into my dad's office and quickly did as instructed.
If you're just now tuning in we have Breaking News.
Brownwick Bistro has been blown up with the cause of Mob violence, and they have something to say about it. Now to Carrie.
A petite brunette came up on the screen and she had 2 other woman with her...
"Yes I have Sedurita Utonium and Robin Shay, both inside during the explosion." The blonde woman turned the camera to the duet. "Mrs. Utonium can you explain to me what happened?" Sedurita slightly smiled and gave her best face.
"Yes, the Jojo family and my family were having a nice peaceful dinner. We were all getting alot and settling our differences when suddenly the building exploded. Luckily no one was hurt and we are all safe."
"That's wonderful, I'm glad no one was hurt as is Townsville. So Miss. Shay do you have any leads on who may have caused this explosion?"
"Well Carrie, this isn't exactly our place to solve this in any way. We are going to let the police handle this and hopefully come to a closing conclusion."
"Smart people. Thank you ladies, and I hope things go in your order. The police hav-"
I turned the tv off and threw the remote in anger. "How could that be?!" I turned around to see Brent and Brick with angry facial expressions but I already put the puzzle together in my head.
"That wasn't Sedusa and Robin. I felt 5 presences and only got 3. Obviously they were here and somehow escaped... They two we killed looked like them, and are with them. That's why they couldn't answer my questions... DAMMIT!" I slapped a lamp off my father's desk, letting my anger get the best of me."Everyone needs to be on high alert. Sedusa and Robin are obviously together in some type of plan."
"So far it only harms your family, where does mine play a part?" Brick was obviously deep in thought and looking for a way out.
"She has to break down where she is to get where she's going."
"Why?"
"It's 5:46 and intend on figuring out why at 7." I exited the room with haste, trying to scramble together my thoughts.
"Where are you going?" It was Brent this time.
"I'm going to the hospital. I need you to get a location on Sedusa and Robin." I suddenly stopped in the mist of heading down the stairs... Silence... Where are the maids? I shook off the question and continued down the stairs. "Brick, you need to talk to your family because your father is still missing.."
"Bubbles is on it" I heard his voice behind me.
"You would leave her in charge of something like that?"
"You left your blond brother with your dad...'
"Touche" We reached the end of the stairs and I turned around to face him. Before I would say anything my phone ring, a sudden urgency rushed through me and I quickly answered. "Boom?"
"B-Bloss, get her now" I hung up the phone and quickly walked to the car. I went for the passenger seat.
"No, no, no. My car. I drive"
"Then dammit MOVE!"
I was quickly weaving my way through the crowd at the hospital, looking for Boomer. I see him in the distance and he meets me halfway. "You made it. Listen, Dad and Butch need blood. Ironically they have the same blood type O positive. The universal donor yet you can only receive O positive."
"I think I'm O positive"
"I hope so" he pulls me along to the nurse. Before I knew it, blood was being pumped out of me. I looked up at the professional nurse.
"I'll be back in a few minutes." She walked out of the room when i noticed a juice cartoon and a cookie. I kidishly grabbed the cookie.
"Even in the most stressful situations you can act so normal, how?" I saw Brick sitting in a chair, across the room.
"Don't think about the negatives too much. Live your life. I have 100 percent belief everything will be fine."
"100?" I nod. "How? My father is STILL missing, Your father and brother might die! Your step mom and best friend-"
"Ex best friend"
"Ex best friend have some type of slick shit going on AND my mom is missing!" I quickly turned to brick, completely forgetting about his mom.
"You have no idea where she is?" He shakes his head. "Dammit we have no leads and we're getting around like ducks!"
"It's ok Pinky because you have 100 percent belief." He smirks. "We'll figure this out and all will be fine. I promise." I noticed the honesty in his eyes. I chuckle at the irony. "What's funny?"
"One moment you're the biggest jerk in the room and the next you comforting guy. What gives?"
"One moment you were just a hot girl in the club and the next you're the only hot girl that I trust" I raise an eyebrow.
"So your just a jerk in clubs?"
"I might have had a few drinks, and gotten into an argument with my dad. At that point I didn't want to think about anything." He was looking down, avoiding my eyes.
"What were you arguing about?"
"My dad's ready to retire from being boss. I'm ready for the responsiblity but he doesn't think so because I'm not married. How stupid does that sound?" I could tell he was trying to suppress his anger.
"Very stupid, but father knows best. I heard your father believes in arranged marriages. Who do you think he's gonna make you marry?"
"He can't make me marry anyone"
"He'll disown you then you will be shunned"
"So be it. I'd rather be shunned than forced to marry some woman I don't know. I can't even imagine it" He slightly chuckled.
"I could. Your first date would be your honeymoon!" I laughed while he looked at me with cheerful eyes.
"What about you? Who are you gonna marry? Brent?" My eyes widened.
"Brent? Eh, maybe. Him and I are close but I don't know. I don't feel I'm ready for marriage. I'm only 23, marriage is not on my agenda. I still have had my 'first's yet" He looked at me curiously.
"You're 'first's?"
"First kiss. First date. First time."
"Seriously?" I nod and he starts laughing.
"Wow, I tell you something so intimate and you laugh in my face. Great to start a friendship"
"No, it's just. Blossom, you're so beautiful. Guy should be jumping at any chance to be with you like starting bar fights." I smile at the hint he gave me. "Thank you for trusting me enough to tell me something so sacred, and honestly I admire you. Most girl are so quick to get rid of those things."
"Well, I went to an all-girl's school and I'm not gay " He nodded, understandingly.
"That's why. You haven't been around guys. So what's the connect between you and Brent?"
"Brent and I are close. He was like only thing that kept me sane at school. Now that we're out and on our own, I don't know if that all still applies."
"Do you want it to still apply?"
"I just got home, after YEARS of being in like solitary confinement. I wanna just live life and experience things that I wasn't able to before."
"You could have had your first kiss with a girl" Brick was smirking.
"Yeah obviously. Guys here are something special."
"Yeah well there's this special girl here too"
"Oh really? Tell me about her?"
"I'm still learning about her myself. I haven't known her long at all and we meet so unexpectantly but I know that there's something between her and I. I don't know what it is but I know I like it" I smiled at his honesty. Before I could reply, Boomer and the nurse burst in with urgency.
"Butch and Mr. Utonium are dying. You are a match, therefore we need you to give blood now" The nurse gave me a stress ball.
"How much are you gonna take?"
"4 pints. Two for each" She prepared to draw blood from me.
"Isn't that a bit dangerous?" Boomer got in front of me protectively.
"it's ok. It's for Butch and Dad, if this is what has to be done, then so be it." I gently pushed Boomer aside and the nurse started withdrawing the blood.
"Just let me know if you get light-headed, sweetheart. Okay?" I slightly nodded in response. I felt the warm substance being pulled from my very being, I looked forward trying to push away the feelings. I meet these passionate red eyes, watching me closely. He had a look of deep concern on his face. His strong, well-groomed jaw, full sultry lips that were set in a fine line. His suit was stained and messed up but somehow he managed to still look good. His hair was a little unruly but that only made him look sexier. I felt my heart beat a bit faster, either from the withdrawal or these thoughts going through my head. The crimson eyes noticed me staring at him, he winked back and held a sexy smirk on his face. I tried to smile back but I couldn't. My body was numb. I looked at the fourth bag of blood, half full. I tried to speak but I couldn't. I looked at Brick was worried eyes, hoping he would catch on. He got up and spoke things to the nurse, but I couldn't hear. I couldn't respond. This sharp pain.. In my chest... I-... I felt like I was slipping... away... I'm fighting to stay but...I... I hear my name in the distance but I'm unable to respond...I'm falling and I don't think I'm gonna be able to get up...
