Prompt #6
Every night when everybody has fun,
Here am I sitting all on my own
Maxie Jones looked over at her cell phone again and shivered. It was fro real; the text message killer was sending her a message. She paused at her door. She wanted to be alone however she knew that her house wasn't safe anymore, the killer knew she lived here as she was attacked there before. Also her mother Felicia was still at the house with the intention of solving the case making Maxie even more mad. How dare her mother use her sister's death to try to actually be a mom and come back to town to see her? She backed away from the building and tried to find a safe place however with a killer on the loose no place was completely safe, was it.

Lulu liked working nights especially this close to the New Year. It was giving her a chance go find herself, to figure things out. She loved Logan Hayes she thought however if that was true then why did she worry about Johnny Zacchara every chance she had. The diner was dead as it was a Saturday night and most people were having their weekly date nights. She took this opportunity of being alone to reflect on her year and wish that in the next year she'd finally get her life back together. She walked over to the jukebox and placed in a few quarters and began to dance along to the music. It freed her, dancing...

Spinelli was back at the penthouse now flipping through the channels on the television and stopping on an old movie. He then began to play over the movie that was showing in his head. In his movie he was suave, worldly, and always got the girl...a complete contrast of his life. He leaned back onto the pillows and closed his eyes and had a dream however unlike before there was a different star...it wasn't the blonde one or his new crush Serena...it was the beautiful and wise Georgie and a lone tear fell from his eyes.

Maxie could swear that her feet were just leading her someplace and her head was someplace else. When her head caught up to her body she realized she was at Harberview Towers and in front of Jason's apartment. The sound of a knock on the door woke Spinelli from his sleep. He peaked out of the peep hole to see Maxie and opened the door.
"I got another message Spinelli," Maxie said, "and something just told me to come here...I couldn't be alone tonight and I couldn't go home."
"The Jackal is most surprised you chose to come to him. I would have thought you would seek help with your parents."
"I don't want to freak them out any more then they are. Anyway can the Jackal figure out the sender."
"It's most likely piggy backed like the others but I'll try."
The young woman handed him the phone and he began to work.
As she watched the Jackal do his thing she curled up on the opposite end of the couch and looked at what he was watching.
"I love Audrey Hepburn..." He heard her say. He heard her commenting on the actress's style and class however he was lost in his work to comment back to her. Soon he made a face.
"What did you find?"
"I don't know if this is supposed to be some sick joke or something but this time the killer had the nerve to piggyback the message to your sister's number."
Maxie made a face. That was truly a sick joke.
"D-do you think Jason would mind if I stayed a bit...I need some space away from everyone being her Spinelli is the last place anyone especially the killer would look for me."
Spinelli nodded.
"Across the hall from my pink room there is an empty room. It used to belong to Samantha when she was here there Lulu occupied it for a while. I bet they left some clean cloths you could borrow if needed...or there is an old robe hanging behind the door to the bathroom down the hall...your sister borrowed it..."
"Georgie was here in nothing but a robe. You didn't Spinelli did you?"
"Have sex with her...no...NO...I was sick and spilled soup on her and she went to wash her cloths and borrowed it...I thought it belonged to Stone Cold's seldom mentioned first wife Brenda the original occupant of the regrettably pink room however Georgie suspected it belonged to the Valkyrie's husband Jax..."
Maxie nodded.
"I so owe you Spinelli."
She hugged he hacker as she headed upstairs.
"Anything for a friend."

The song on the jukebox ended as Lulu was still alone. A chill ran up her spine. It was quiet...too quiet...suddenly she heard a noise that startled her. It was Mike saying he's stay to lock up and she could go. It wasn't long till she reached the mansion. She decided to head to the boat house for some reason. When she got there she remembered what took place there what seemed like forever ago. About how she had plotted to break up Georgie and Dillon and succeeded. As she sat in the place that she had sex with Dillon she couldn't help but wonder what if...if she didn't do it would Georgie still be alive and back in Toronto with Dillon...would it have been her in the ground...Maxie...someone tottaly different. She decided not to dwell on what ifs as she pulled out a small notebook from her pocket. This was the order pad she used at Kelly's however right now she needed it for something different. She took out a pen and began to write.
Logan vs. Johnny pros and cons
--
Serena sat in the empty hotel room that she shared with her father. Logan and her had hit it off great earlier and she hoped to be seeing him more around town as besides Maxie he was really her only friend at present. Logan however told her he had something important to do. She assumed that it meant that he had a date with Lulu however when her dad then later apologized to her saying that he planed to go to a Hockey game with Logan and wished that he had an extra ticket. She simply smiled, glad for the father son bonding and watched him leave. Now she was alone in the hotel room eating room service and watching some old Audrey Hepburn film on TV hoping that she wouldn't be spending ringing in the new year alone like she was now. It was then that she spotted an invitation on the Hotel room's table announcing that the hotel was having a new year's party and a smile spread across her face.
--
Lulu looked at her list and smiled at the results before retiring into the mansion and relaxing in a warm bath, she definitely deserved it.
--
Spinelli sat alone in the living room waiting for Stone Cold and watching the end of the movie.
When Jason didn't show up and the movie ended he decided to call it a night. He flipped off the TV and closed up his computer and headed upstairs. After getting changed into a pair of pajamas he snuck out of the regrettably pink room to peek in on Maxie who for the first time since her sister's death was actually having a good nights sleep.
