I walked into my apartment
I pulled off my jacket and lighted a cigarette
I sighed looking at my phone
No messages
I knew i was denying that i was fancying van but i wanted him to say goodbye since he was leaving in a few hours.
I got up and poured myself a glass of wine looking outside.
A few hours later van still didn't call or visit me
I was kinda upset about it
I went to bed but heard a door open
"Hello?" I said "it's me mate" i heard Becky say
I sighed actually hoping it was van
"In the bedroom" I said turning around in my bed "you okay?" She asked looking at me
"Yeah why wouldn't i be okay?" I asked
"You look fucked"
I sighed "it's nothing honestly" I said
"You are lying" she said "it's nothing" I said again she studied my face and nodded
"It's about van isn't it?" she asked me sitting down "no" I whispered
"You are such a terrible lair" she chuckled
"I'm not lying"
"Mate, i know you two kissed and he took you outside last night at the bar"
"So?"
"You like him."
I woke up late, too late for work
I must of forgot to set the alarm
I turned around seeing Becky sitting up in bed on her phone
"I woke up in the middle of the night hearing footsteps, was that you?" i asked she nodded "Bob called me" she said in a morning voice
I frowned "did he visit you though?" I asked
"Yeah yesterday before i came here we went for dinner"
I turned around facing the wall
I stood up and grabbed my oversized t-shirt
"You wanna go out today?" I asked her

"Yeah why?" I asked looking at her
"You don't look okay" she whispered
I sighed "didn't sleep very well" i lied, well it was the truth but not the main reason
She nodded "when are they coming back?" I asked her "who?" She said handing me a glass
of wine "Bob and that" i whispered
She licked her lips and studied my face
"It is about van, isn't it Lexi?" She asked me
I sighed finally giving in "it is" I said
"You do fancy him don't you?"
I looked at her
"Yeah i do, but it's whatever right" i said
She shook her head
"No mate, it's not whatever it's sweet, seeing you having feelings for someone again and that" she said smiling i knitted my eyebrows together looking at her "no? It isn't is it? It's not sweet it fucking it fucking terrifies me how i fancy him, i met the guy three or four days ago becky, and he didn't even say goodbye, we kissed didn't we?" I said looking at her
"Right, he should've said goodbye, they aren't coming back soon by the way" she said
I shook my head "twat" I said under my breath
"Van?"
"Van yeah"
"They are coming back on nine December" she said, my facial expression changed "but that's not so long i mean-" I started "December 2016" she whispered with a weak expression
That's a fucking year.
I stood up "where ya going?" She asked

"Of course i am!" I said laughing
"You don't seem like okay" he said with a nervous unsure chuckle
I studied his face "you fancy drinking a beer at mine?" I asked "sure, class" he said with a grin laying on his lips

I grabbed two bottles of beer and handed him one "cheers" I whispered lighting a cigarette
"How are you and rockstar, first you leave me alone when i was having a class night with ya and then you don't even show up at work" he said with a smirk on his face

Northwoods Trapper
In the wild places of our planet, dark vestiges of our paranormal past yet cling to twisted life. In the past, the hunters and trappers of the world were tasked with removing such blights from society's fringes - legal assassins, enlisted to enforce the will of civilization against those unnatural, otherworldly hosts. Nowadays, we're not so lucky. With the idea of proper monster-hunting fading from public perception, the once-prestigious mantle is donned by amateurs, hobbyists, and self-taught warriors. It pays poorly, it's dangerous, and people would rather do something that gets them rich or famous or drowning in attention. Most often, new-age monster hunters are born from tragedy. They lack the tact, training, and funding of hunters passed. Instead, they have only their wits and brawn to carry them through. So it is with our hero. In the woods of the American Midwest, foul creatures lurk. Tabitha Varna, a young college drop-out scarred by her past, is determined to uproot them or die trying. Sometimes she hopes for both.[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
