Sorry for the delay, and the shortish chapter :)

"HOW CAN YOU JUST DO THAT?" I screamed at Larry, my eyes welling up with tears.
"HOW CAN YOU JUST LEAVE THEM ALL ALONE IN THAT MUSEUM, HOW CAN YOU BE SO CRUEL, THEY ARE OUR FRIENDS!" He looked up at me with his usual Like I Care look.
"Have you finished?"
"NO! YOU ARE SO HEARTLESS TO JUST DO THIS, IN A YEAR YES, IN A MONTH MAYBE, BUT ONE WEEK?" I ran downstairs and into the car and wiped my tears away.
Larry's new company, Daley Devices, was going good and now the selfish bastard (excuse my language) wants to leave the museum job in a week. Not only would I have only a week left with my extended family but poor Nick only has 3 days with them and one night he is at a friends place.
I just wanted to punch Larry so badly.
Don't tell them yet."
"Whatever..." I muttered as we entered the museum. I waited in his office and cried a little more. I walked out of the stuffy room and walked to Ahk's room. Larry stormed out of there and gave me a glare. I walked in and saw Ahkmenrah, the once great king of Egypt crying like a helpless baby.
He was sitting on his sarcophagus and his eyes were just flowing with tears. I went and sat next to him. I placed my hands on his cheek and rubbed his tears off.
"He told you..."
"Yes, and I told him..."
"What?"
"That I love you and you love me." I stared at Ahkmenrah in awe. Larry must have yelled or screamed or even hit the pharaoh.
"He just walked away." I hugged Ahk and started to cry with him. I didn't want to leave, I didn't want to go. I just wanted to stay in that position for the rest of my life.
"One week though, it's not see you soon yet!" I said, sounding hopeful. He chuckled.
"You're so optimistic. I like that." He leaned in and kissed me.
"How are you?" I asked, handing Ahk and Sacagawea a apple slice.
"We're good. Just a little sad."
"I know… I wish we could stay…"
"I wanted to become wax so I can stay." They both laughed at this and I smiled.
I was breaking inside, because these guys were my friends. I didn't wish Larry didin't get me here, I just wished I could just be frozen to the spot and come to life only at night.
It was the second last night and I was sitting in front of Sacagawea's case with Ahk. I had taken an apple from home and brought it to them. I occasionally got fruit from home for Sacagawea, not because she was hungry but because she wanted to taste the favour of food again.
I cut a slice and placed it in my mouth with the blade touching my lip slightly. I was cold and still and that is what my life was going to be without these ... people in my life. I needed them as much as they needed me. I was their messenger, their friend, their little Jessie.
I let a tear slide down my face and we all sighed. We stared at the glass case and wondered what it would be like without each other.
"Ok, let's watch a movie people!" Larry was the same and I hated him for that.
For our farewell, we would all watch a movie in the projector room where they screen documentaries and the like. Larry had borrowed Toy Story by my request. When we went to rent the movies, I told him that these people were as innocent as I was... ten years ago.
"Why are they coming to life? Do they have a tablet as well?" Jed asked me when the toys came to life for the first time.
"No, it's just saying what if toys were living and all..." I let the two miniatures on my right shoulder so they could get a good view. On my right was Sacagawea while Ahk was on my left. I found my head on his shoulder and he kissed my hair.
When the movie was over, everyone left and just spent one last night with us.
I walked up to Ahk and gave him a final kiss before sunrise. I looked and smiled for the first time in a week.
"I got this for you, I made it in Art." I handed him a black wooden statue of a cat. He smiled and placed it at his foot end.
"I will always remember your creative mind Jessie, you have honestly made me so happy with your gifts." He smiled and settled back in the tomb. Before I left, he wanted me to sing to him again. I did and he closed his eyes. I went for a little bit and then kissed his cheek.
"See you soon Ahkmenrah."
