story - part III (by Monika)

She had been walking down the same street for a few days and nothing was new to her, all the lights were on and she was running to catch the last bus to get her home. Suddenly, she heard some steps running towards her, that person was getting closer and closer. She started to feel a bit afraid, she couldn't turn around to see who was following her, but after a few seconds she turned around and she saw a man. It was already dark, so she couldn`t see who exactly he was. He started to call her name, and just then she realised who that man was. 

- I believe it's you... she said.
- Yes, it's me, just me... Joe!

Unfortunately, Joe was actually the one who she didn't want to see. Chris and Joe has been best friends forever, they had known each other for more than 20 years. They had grown up together, done exactly the same things, partied all the time in high school, football was a common hobby for them both. They simply knew each other inside out. She started to feel her hands were shaking and her voice was trembling, everything was happening again. Joe was there - that was a fact. In her had the image of Chris started to appear and Joe was the cause of all that . She had been perfectly fine before she met him again. 

- Why are you here? This is part of my past and I want all this to stay like that, she said. 
- It's impossible... I'm here to take you with me back to Dublin! Chris has to know what's happened. I can't do this anymore! He is my best friend and I owe him that! 

Her face was pale and she couldn`t talk, she just sat down and started to cry!
