With or Without You - Pt 13

      The Easter weekend seemed to drag on and on.
      "No mum..No, I have plenty of chocolate..Nope, I don't need anymore..Yes, I'm quite sure..Yeah, it was fun..I know, I know, you'll get grandchildren when I'm ready..He lives in Australia mum..Yes he did ask for me to come along..Why didn't I?!..School mum, school, I'm almost finished..Next week or so..I don't know mum..Ok then..Yeah, see you later..Ok..ok..bye.." Willow let out a loud sigh as she placed her phone on its hook again. "Gawd, you have to love my parents.."
      She walked over to her fridge and poured herself a glass of juice.
      Putting some water in the kettle, she returned to the movie she was watching.

      Ben groaned as he lay on a couch.
      His sister laughed and walked over to him and sat on a chair. "What's wrong Benny?"
      Ben smiled at his oldest sister, Tameri, "I ate too much turkey.. Mum shouldn't be such a good cook. I swear I'm going to eat myself to death one day.."
      Tameri laughed, "No, what's really wrong?"
      He frowned, "What are you talking about?"
      "I was talking to Michy.."
      Ben sighed, he just loved the fact that his sister was one of Daniel's girlfriends best friends. Tameri always knew more about everything then Ben wanted her to. "It's nothing.."
      "Come on Ben.. I heard all about it. And it makes perfect sense, and explains why you've been acting so odd lately."
      Ben rolled over, "It's nothing, I don't want to talk about it.."
      Tameri rolled him over to face him, "Ben. Obviously you quite like her and apparently you two really hit it off."
      He nodded slowly, "Yeah. We hit it off quite well. And yes, I do quite like her."
      "Well, what are you going to do about it then?"
      He sighed, "I don't know. I mean, I've never liked someone as much as I like her.."

      Dawn answered Willow's phone, "Hello?..Oh..Whe..Oh, ok then, no problem..Ok, sure..Yeah, sure, of course..Ok then..Ok, bye.."
      Willow emerged from her bathroom, "Who was that?" She asked gesturing towards the phone.
      "Your mum."

      Ben yawned and reached blindly for his phone as it rang. As he picked it up he said hello tiredly into the receiver.
      "Where the hell are you!?"
      Ben jumped up out of bed and looked at his clock, 9am. He sat there for a millisecond confused before it all clicked in, "Shit! That's right, the airport!"
      Darren groaned into the phone, "Yes! Where are you?! We're all here now.."
      "Oh damn it. I'll be there in..15 mins. Later."
      Ben hung up the phone and ran into his closet. He quickly put some casual clothes on and stuffed some clothes into a suitcase. He sighed, he was going to have to take a shower and brush his teeth when he got there.

      Ben arrived 21 minutes later by a taxi. He quickly payed the man, and ended up leaving a hefty tip. He ran into the docking area and came to a sudden halt as he saw Darren.
      Darren eyed him down, "We have to wait an extra half hour thanks to you. You just had to be late didn't you Ben? I mean, of all the days.."
      "I'm sorry! I really am! I even went to bed early last night so I wouldn't sleep in.." Ben pleaded his case.
      Daniel stepped in, "It's ok. Don't worry about it. This won't effect us by much at all.
      Daniel pulled Ben over to chat with him briefly. What Daniel told Ben had quite the effect on him.
      "Oh, ok.." Is all Ben really said.

      Willow hurried out of her apartment some hours later, as she was late for her class.
      Willow glanced at the clock occassionally as she sat there.

      The band and Co. shuffled off of the plane as their flight landed.
      "And it's now yesterday! Got to love this.." Lee said mumbling as he trailed behind Nichole.
      She looked back at him and made a face, "Complaining so soon? I thought we said we weren't going to do this, this time. We ALWAYS complain!" Nichole finished getting a little worked up. She let out a small huff and hurried infront of a few people.
      Lee cast AnnaMaria a quick look, and she, in turn, shrugged her shoulders and continued chatting with Darren.
      Ben looked around, "I, uhh, yeah, bye!" He said finally and walked off in the opposite direction.
      Darren looked at him shaking his head, "He better not be late.."
      "He won't.. Don't worry about it Dazza.." Daniel said emerging from the back of the group.

      As Willow's class ended she went to collect the work her teacher had assigned. She really didn't understand why he had bothered, there was only a week of the course left.
      She walked home slowly.

      Willow came to a sudden halt as she reached her door, for her door was opened a crack. Willow shivered and quickly scanned her floors hall. She looked back at the door, she knew she had locked it before she left. She shook, of her two years of living in this apartment NOTHING had remotely went wrong.
      She removed her shoes outside her door and placed her bag down. ‘What are you doing!' She screamed to herself. Willow was the kind of girl who watched horror movies and yelled at the stupid ditzy females who would walk into a door that would, in the end, be the death of her.
      The door opened silently. Willow stepped a few silent feet into her apartment. She swallowed thickly and scanned her hallway. She quickly poked her head into her kitchen, empty, safe and untouched. She advanced a few more feet. ‘Don't! Stop! Turn back while you're ahead. Go to your neighbours to call the police. Get help. Don't do this by yourself!' She ‘yelled' to herself some more.
      As the courner that ran into her livingroom came close, tears formed in Willow's eyes. She was beyond scared yet couldn't, for the life of her, turn back. She had to go into the room.
