Chronicle of an Ending Foretold
"You definitely gone crazy, right?"
I was expecting those words of encouragement from Eva, when I told her about my plan.
It was quite simple, actually. I would get out of that stupid hospital in a few days, and using the map that Scarlett had given me, I would quietly sneak into the Tennorman mansion to see Nirvana.
It couldn't be that hard, right?
"Of course we will help you!" Izzy exclaimed excitedly. "It will be a breeze! With peanut butter!"
"Yeah, buddy, I'm sure it'll be easy" Owen added, raising his thumb in a gesture of approval. "Furthermore, true love always finds a way to succeed!"
I watched with a small smile the way Owen and Izzy giggled together, looking at each other with affection.
Eva snorted.
"All of you have lost your heads" she snapped, crossing her arms firmly. "Don't even think that I'll risk my life that way."
"All right, I'll do it without you" I mumbled, shrugging quietly. "I won't force you to anything."
"But then who will be the distraction?"
I gave Owen an incredulous look before rolling my eyes, kinda exasperated.
"You'll be the distraction" I clarified, sighing wearily. "Izzy will come with me, and knock out anyone who gets in our way."
"And I'll kill them, and I'll eat their guts!"
"That won't be necessary..."
Izzy laughed mischievously at that, shrugging. For a moment, I feared for the lives of those who stand in our way.
Eva was silent, watching me, as if waiting for me to recant. But I wouldn't do it. Apparently, she knew, so she sighed heavily.
"If I die, I'll kill you."
I couldn't help but laugh a little at that, to which Owen joined almost immediately. Izzy managed to embrace us all at once, and that sealed the deal.
There was no turning back. There had never been.
When left the hospital, I managed to convince my mother that I would be fine staying in the apartment, even when she insisted that I stay at home.
Three days later, I was driving my car in the middle of the night, following the same path that Damon had taken almost three months ago.
I appreciate having such a good memory.
"Owen, I know the pizza was your idea, but don't eat it yet."
My friend let out a giggle at my words, but nodded, clothed in that pizza delivery uniform he had used years before to work.
Honestly, I had thought of taking him out of the plan, but he seemed so excited to get his uniform and that idea taken from a cliché film that I couldn't just say no.
The Tennorman mansion was really huge, and as we just arrived, I made sure to park the car in a secluded and hidden place.
As Owen neared the huge gates and distracted the guards with a free pizza, Eva, Izzy and I entered with a metal ladder they had brought.
I admit, that physical effort left me on the verge of returning to the hospital with my lungs destroyed. And that was just beginning.
"Come on, Noah, it wasn't so hard!"
Izzy's voice rang in my ears, but I could only give her a glare, almost breathless.
"Let's go, you don't want me to carry you, right?" scoffed Eva, patting me on the shoulder.
I sighed deeply, straightening completely.
"You're lucky I can't think of anything clever to say right now" I mumbled, before pulling out of my pocket the neatly folded map. "As it says here, we should go west..."
"Let's go then!"
I wanted to ask Izzy to lower her voice, but she had already walked away and I didn't want to run after her.
Eva ran after Izzy, patting my backbone a way that made me cough a little bit.
I began to follow them, now with the sore shoulder, and began to review the map. We stopped when the hall came to an end and there were two different ways.
"We must go to the left" I said, pointing the way. "It's the third room."
Izzy gave a mischievous laugh, and ran before us.
I could see Eva rubbing a hand over her face, in frustration, and I mentally imitated her gesture.
Finally we stopped at the door, and both of them looked at me, waiting for me to move.
With a nervous sigh, I opened the door.
There was a chair in front of a window, and it gave us the back. I stepped forward, admiring the norme and luxurious decoration.
But then a figure rose from the chair. And turned around.
That definitely wasn't Nirvana. In fact, it was my least favorite person.
Justin.
"Look, it's Justin!"
"Yeah, Izzy, as we can see him."
The supermodel with air instead of a brain stood up, and crossed his arms firmly.
'You are not Mr. Tennorman" he said then, narrowing his eyes.
"No shit, Sherlock" I mumbled, pinching the bridge of my nose hard. "You gotta be kidding me..."
He rolled his eyes, and took a couple of steps forward. He smiled slightly.
"I'm not kidding when I say that I'd probably would be paid better if I tell security about you guys."
I frowned. I had no doubt that Justin would be able to betray us even if he didn't receive any money. I was about to say something, but Eva stepped forward.
"Let's see if you dare, supermodel" muttered and turned slightly toward us. "You go on, I'll take care of him."
"But I want to see...!"
"Come on, Izzy" I mumbled, taking her wrist and almost dragging her out of the room.
I checked the map again, with a look of frustration on my face. I didn't understand if I was wrong or Scarlett had indicated me the wrong room.
I preferred to think it was the latter.
Izzy suddenly covered my mouth with her hand, then pointed down the hall.
There was Nirvana, too distracted by the screen of her phone, and entering a room.
Izzy smiled.
"I think it's there."
We approached the room quietly and I tacitly had to give credit to Scarlett. In the end it wasn't her fault, she definitely had indicated Nirvana's room.
Nirvana entered the room that had her brother's name roughly painted on the room.
I made a signal to Izzy so she would keep silent, after all we didn't know if Tennorman was still there.
But it was too late. Izzy had already entered abruptly and had covered Nirvana's mouth with a sock.
I could see her terrified expression before she saw me, acquiring one of complete surprise.
"Izzy, let her go!" I muttered, closing the door when I noticed that his brother wasn't there.
Izzy laughed a little, before doing so. Nirvana coughed, clearing her throat, before turning to me.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" she snapped, looking at me with a mixture of fear and frustration. "My brother will come back anytime!"
"Then we must hurry. Come on" I shrugged, as downplaying the fact that we were in a mansion of mobsters.
Nirvana was incredulous and soon began to shake her head.
"Don't you understand your situation? This time they will kill you" she murmured, horrified at the idea.
"No, you don't understand! You go away, leave a stupid letter behind, and expect me to forget about it. I don't work like that!"
A little awkward silence was formed, in which we only looked at each other at the face, to see who faltered first.
Izzy cleared her throat uncomfortably.
"Should I leave you guys alone...?"
I continued looking at Nirvana, waiting. When she slowly lowered her distressed gaze, I sighed resignedly.
I only had one last card up my sleeve, and I had never been a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh.
"I practically canceled my engagement, my mother knows that you and I..."I left the sentence in the air, and she seemed to understand.
She didn't want to, but finally smiled a little, blushing slightly.
She sighed heavily.
"Come on, he's a cutie pie" said Izzy, also more relaxed
I was about to say something to contradict her, but then the bedroom door opened abruptly.
Damon Tennorman watched us intently, before pulling a radio out of his pocket.
"Security, I have intruders in my room" he murmured, frowning slightly.
I couldn't help but smile a little, because after all I wasn't alone this time.
As I guessed, Izzy approached Tennorman and covered his face with a pillowcase, tying him with tape around him to keep him quiet.
I quickly turned to Nirvana and held out my hand, while Izzy ran around Damon, tying him with tape.
"Are you coming or not? Just do it."
She doubted it for a moment, and reached out to take my hand, only to move away a second later.
"Go away, Noah. Go away now."
I could almost hear the sound of my heart, soul, will, or whatever it's called, breaking into a million pieces.
Perhaps it was the tears shining in her blue eyes, or the broken tone of her voice. But I knew right then that it was the end.
There was nothing I could do. Just deal with it.
I could hear the footsteps of the guards in the corridor, and after giving her one last look of disbelief, I took Izzy's arm and left the room.
I could see Eva run away, and just followed her without thinking too much, on the same path we took to get inside.
We left behind the metal stairs when we were outside the mansion, and continued running on a kind of adrenaline start.
When we got into the car, I let out a sigh, wearily. My eyes burned, wet, but I refused to drop any tears.
Owen gave me a glance, and apparently understood everything at my expression, so he simply started the engine and we quickly moved away from the place.
Nobody said a word, not even Izzy, who almost never shut up. And mentally I thanked their silence.
I preferred to keep everything I was feeling inside, and leave nothing out. I had come to that situation.
I should've stayed with what that letter said. At least it didn't have the sad look in her blue eyes printed on it.
And that's the end, thanks everyone!
No, not really. But there's only a few chapters left though.
Sorry for the long wait, I was... lazy? I guess that's the word. I'll try to finish this fanfic, for real.
Now, to the reviews.
Acosta Perez Jose Ramiro: Thanks, again! And yeah, that's right!
Artemis Raven Courtney: Maybe he knows, maybe he doesn't.
The Abysswalker: Yeah, I guess...
Okay, that's all for now. Take care.
Read you soon!
