I knew something was wrong.
She wouldn’t call me otherwise.
I didn’t know what.
She wouldn’t tell me that.
All she told me was to come over.
I hurried down the street over to her apartment and ran up the stairs.
She had seen me coming down the street and stood with the door open before I even reached her door.
”What’s wrong?” I asked.
”Come inside,” She said and moved out of the way so I could walk past her.
She looked both ways in the corridor quickly before closing the door.
”What’s wrong?” I asked once more.
She walked around the apartment before she sat down on the couch.
I knew this couldn’t be good.
”What’s wrong?”
”He’s gone,” She said and started crying.
”Who’s gone?”
”Jeremy” She put her head in her hands and sobbed.
”Jeremy? How?”
”They got him”
I always knew it was only a matter of time before Jeremy would end up in some ditch but I couldn’t help feeling sorry for her.
Only I didn’t know what to do now.
There was nothing I could say.
Why did she ask me to come over?
”I’m sorry” Was all I could say.
”Could you stay here tonight?” She asked, ”I’m scared they’re coming here.”
They probably wouldn’t come. She wasn’t a part of Jeremy’s mess.
”Of course I will,” I said and sat down next to her.
I put my arms around her.
”I’ll be here for as long as you want.”
