Jane was getting late to the movies. "where the hell Marsha has gone. I'm sure we are going to go late. I'm going to give her a mouthful today for sure". Jane and Marsha were roommates for few years from college and has become very good friends. They both have jobs and pretty much busy through out the weekdays and in the weekends, they spend good time with each other and go for movies or dinner with each other and with their families too. Everyone was jealous of their friendship and they promised each other that no matter what, they should never lose their friendship whatsoever.
Jane was pacing in the hallway cussing Marsha, "she had to go to get her medicine case filled right now?? she couldn't get another time but to exactly go to drug store the same time we booked tickets for the movies. ugh!!" She was rambling when she heard footsteps from outside. She called out, "Marsha, is that you??". there was a reply, "yeah". "Thank God you came at least now. you could have gone tomorrow to the store and why......" Jane was asking and stopped when Marsha entered the room. Marsha looked all dirty with her top torn. Jane shouted, "you are late and sloppy. Are you kidding me?". Marsha said, "relax, I just fell off the cycle. I will take like a few minutes to get cleaned up.". and ran to her room and Jane pinched her forehead and thought, "cool, now she takes at least 30 mins to shower and makeup. we are officially late. Awesome".
Marsha came back within 5 minutes with clean clothes and air brushed makeup and Jane was awestruck and asked, "how did u do that?". Marsha laughed and said, "will tell you later" and held Jane's hand and rushed her out into the car. Marsha was driving the car and they had fantastic time in the car singing and laughing when the car stopped near a toll gate because of traffic and Jane shouted, "damn". They waited and waited for solid 10 mins when Jane couldn't take it anymore. She got down from her car to check why no cars are moving because she had like 25 cars ahead of her. She looked at Marsha and she opened the window. Jane asked, "let's go check what's happening" for which Marsha replied, "No iI will stay in car. I like it here. It's cool". Jane shrugged her shoulders and started walking slowly towards the front car.
Most of the passengers from most of the cars are out of their vehicles, "so this is not a normal traffic. Some thing had happened" Jane thought and walked towards the crowd that surrounded a vehicle. While she was nearing, she saw a white vehicle, "it is an ambulance. Omg is someone hurt?" Jane thought and walked a bit faster. She reached the ambulance and there was a body with white blanket covered on the face. Jane looked at an officer and asked, "God, what happened here officer?". Officer said, "there was a brutal accident happened here few minutes ago. A girl was riding her bicycle when a van came and hit her and dragged her on to the road. She was dead on spot before we could even reach here." and he pointed out to the cycle that was on the road.
Of course Jane can recognize the cycle. How couldn't she? It was Jane who gifted that cycle on Christmas to Marsha with a sticker on it that said "with love, Jane". Jane reached the body and opened it to see cold bloodied body of Marsha lying silently on it. Jane collapsed on the ground crying when the officer took her into the empty toll gate office room and gave her some water. He said, "I will have to send the ambulance back to the hospital for an autopsy. I will meet you again for details about your friend" and left.
Jane suddenly remembered "But Marsha drove me here. She is in the car....How is that poss......." her thoughts were interrupted when she saw Marsha in the mirror opposite to her, smiling at her. Jane bolted right up seeing Marsha, this time she was not clean, she was covered in blood and bruises all over her body......Marsha spoke, "remember we made a promise to each other that we will be always friends forever. I came back because I missed you. It's lonely up here Jane.... I need you, I need you because WE PROMISED...." Marsha said those and slightly grinning at Jane and slowly, the mirror broke. Marsha stepped inside the room from the mirror collecting a broken piece of mirror in her hand and slowly walked towards Jane.......
