"So what exactly what are we doing?" Chris asked exitedly "Well how about I call her and tell her so we don't have to crash a wedding?" I said. "No man!" he said "We have to stick it to him, you know?" "You've been playing too much video games..." I replied. "Okay so lets go and tell her in person then." I said. "Fiiiine..." We started up the car but when we we moved the car stopped and died. Great, our engines dead isn't it?" I said and sure enough there were a few wires cut when we checked. "So there playing dirty huh..." Chris said to himself. "This guy will do anything to stop is won't he?" I said. Chris nodded. We decided to wait becuase Chris said 'we'd catch him by suprise' which I'm pretty sure an excuse he made that he was tired.
The next day we took a bus to try to get to Claire. "Do you really have to come with me though?" I asked Chris. "Yeah man, just incase that Todd guy trys somthing funny, I'll be here to back you up!" He said. Which is pretty funny because he'd flee when ever there was some sort of danger. But still, its the tought that counts, right? We got off the bus, Chris all hyped up about ready to try and punch someone in the face. However, less than a block before Claires apartment, two big guys stopped us. "You John? Chris?" one said "Whats it to ya' punk?" Chris said. "We've been told to keep you two outta sight around here. Understand?" the other one said. Once he said that Chris freaked. "Look buddy, I'm not taking orders from some stupid punk that thinks hes so great because h-" "We arn't looking for trouble okay, we just want to talk to Claire Dawson." I said, cutting off Chris. One of the guy looked really steamed at Chris and I didn't want to go home with a blackeye. "Yeah, we've been... 'Told' to keeo you guys outta sight, comprendo?" one said. "Sorry for wasting your time! Heh, lets go Chris." I said nervously. "We'll find an other way in okay?" Chris was getting real hyped.
We walked around and tried to look around but no there was no real entrance that wan't blocked. "Hold on... I have an idea." Chris said. I really wasn't really too exited because, not trying to be mean but... Its Chris, so when he has an idea, I think you understand. "I'll distract those guys while you run and try to get to Claire alright?" he said "Look man..." I was about ready to tell Chris his plan wouldn't work when, I relized, it might. "its a good plan, lets do it." I let Chtis walk back towards them while he got their attention. I ran behind some cars and tried to look like I was walking with some people on the streets and when I was close enough, I slipped into her apartment. I texted Chris I was in and he could stop. When I saw him leave trough the apartments glass door I was relived he wasn't beat up. I ran upto her apartment door on the second floor. When I knocked I waited for a while, and knocked again. She wasn't home. As I started to walk out I saw Todds car, started up about to drive off. I saw him in it with Claire. Darn it! I tried to run to it but he drove off. There was nothing much I could do now. I texted Chris telling him I'd meet him at home. I just took a long walk around, I just wanted to get away from the madness. Then the feeling came again, the hopless, useless feeling. Because right now, their was nothing I could do. I went back, since the guards were gone for the night, but no sucess. She was gone.
When I got home Chris was already there, doing somthing on the computer. "Watcha 'doin?" I asked. "I just ordered some new car parts to replace the broken ones, they should be here tomorrow. If you don't mind, I kinda used your credit card..." he said. "Its alright... But.. Shes getting married tommorrow... Its over." I said grimmly. "I'm sorry man." he said. "Yeah, I'm just sorry I couldn't stop this in time."
