Im sitting on the couch, half asleep, listing to MTV. My cellphone begins to play Beethoven's Fur Elise. I reach over to answer without even opening my eyes.
"Hello?"
Static.
"Kristle? Hello?"
Its David...from Wisco...one of my best friends. I open my eyes and sit up straight. He sounds worried.
"Whats wrong?"
"Kristle...I think you should talk to Missy...here she is..."
More static as he passes the phone to Missy...my other best friend. We are the Three Musketeers....the three stooges...we've been through alot together.
"Kristle? Its Missy"
She's been crying...i can barely understand her.
"Something happened, Kristle...I need to come see you...stay for awhile."
Silence.
My blood runs cold...my mind races, imagining the worst.
"Tell me what happened..."
She takes a breath, calming herself enough to explain.
"Another Eric..."
Eric....I remember Eric. They dated for a long time. They had a son together...My godson. But Eric was into drugs, and one day stole his mother's truck, crashed it, and broke into Missy's house. He came back the next day and Missy put him in jail.
"Oh no..."
"Yeah...im pregnant....two months"
Her voice cracks again...shes scared. Another Eric...
"Another Eric?"
"His name is Jimmy. I knew he was cheating on me. I just had to catch him at it....last night I did. This morning I called the cops and turn him in. He had cocaine on him."
Cocaine? Holy s**t...thats heavy stuff.
"Wow...so hes in jail? And you're ok, right?"
She laughs....it scares me...
"Yeah...until he gets out and finds me....or sends one of his friends after me. I need to get out of here."
~~~~~
So now shes moving here to Hagerstown, gonna stay with me. One two year old and one on the way....
Its gonna be a big change....but it beats the alternative.
