THE SURFACE
Chapter Fourteen
"Anything?" Ashley
asked impatiently as she paced the floor of her room, waiting for Lexi to get
an answer from the Ouija board.
"Nope. Where is she?"
Lexi tried over and over to spell out her message, following the e-mail that
they had received from Jack. She tried one last time before giving up. Lexi
flopped onto Ashley’s bed and buried her face in a throw pillow. "Why did
he do it? To be with Rose?"
Ashley went over to her window
and looked down at the streets of Lower Manhattan. "Why else?" She
tried to be strong and not cry, when suddenly there was a note on the notepad
on Ashley’s desk.
To Lexi and Ash,
Jack is fine. He is with me,
and we are to be married.
Rose
"Hey, Lex, look what I just
got!" Ashley said happily as she passed Lexi the notepad. She read it and
smiled.
"Well, I guess they all
lived happily ever after." Lexi smiled as tears continued to roll down her
cheeks.
"Yeah, but what about
Ruth?" Ashley wondered aloud as they exchanged worried glances.
The End.
