Because of Her By Dark Embrace
I looked out over the back deck of my house to the far off grave that sat beneath a tree. Remembering the friend that was laid to rest there, Jake. Me and Jake were friends since we were six, we did everything together. We had the same jobs and same high school, But that was until He meet Her. From the start, She ruled his life but at the same time yes he loved Her. After a year dating, they where happily married and I didn't see my best friend for a while. Its was until I meet my wife Jenn, I became the Happiest man in the world, I married her. Soon Jenn knew how much I missed my childhood friend and sot out to find him for me as a gift. I never knew what she was up to for years and years, until one day. We went for a drive and She parked in fount of a tan colored house. "what are we doing here?" I asked. "You see, " Jenn Smiled back. We walked to the door and knocked. The door open, She was standing there, "What do you want? If your selling something, then bug off." Jenn spoke up to Her, "I am Jenn and this is Issac, your husband's childhood friend." She bellowed with laughter, "My Husband has no friends, Now Get out of my sight before I call the cops." My jawed dropped, before I was able to say anything, Jenn took me by the arm and dragged me back to the car. Jenn drove me home, without saying a word, she knew my angry. Once we got home I sat in my Lazy boy and stared at the picture that I had hung on my wall with me and Jake at our High school Graduation. The phone rang next to me and made me jump, I picked it to hear a man on the other side, "hello?.... Issac... Its your friend Jake. I heard that you tried to come and see me to day..." That voice wasn't my best friend, it sound like a older man have trouble breathing, labor breathing really. "I would be more then over enjoy if you would come in see me in a week or so, She is going away for the week, Please old friend." "Jake I will come in a week to see you, count on me." I said. As I said that I could hear Her starting to Jake, like, "Who are you calling?", "You have no friends." and that bellowing laugh of hers. It made my blood boil just thinking about it. A few weeks passed and I grew more and more like a little Kid getting ready to see a long lost relative. Jenn drove to Jake's House that day. As the she turned off the car I ran to the door and rang the bell. This teenager open the door, "Yah what do you want?" He asked us. "I am here to see your father, "I said, trying to stay clam. "DAD someone is here to see you!" The teen screamed. From a distance you could hear a voice, "Let them in, Nick." Nick push the door open for me and my wife and head off. I looked at Jenn as she closed the door. "In here" came the voice again. I followed the voice until I reach a Den. I could believe my eyes there was a over weight man in what looked like a over sized hospital bed. I walked forward a bit more to see the over weight person was my friend, Jake. You could see the long for me in his eyes. "Jake...?" Jake's eyes move to me, they were a dull blue, kind of lifeless. "Issca? Is that really you?" He asked, "yes its me." I reached out and held his hand, "what... What happen to you?" You could tell that Jake was having trouble breathing, "It happen after I married Her. I was happy for some time until I notice the bills piling up and her wanting everything. I couldn't keep up with her so I got depressed and ate. Still after our son was born, Nick things got worst. " He said before garbing the breathing mask, to get some oxygen into his body. "as you can see where that lead me, I gave up on everything. She is on one of her luxury curies. I just wait til I can fly away, Issca, be rid of Her." He closed his eyes and looked at me, "Issca, I have always wanted your life, you have a loving wife and your happy." My eyes teared up as he told me these things, We must have been there for 3 hours, I told Jake that things would be better and that me and Jenn had to go. Jenn drove us home again, I couldn't talk for the horror that my friend had to go thought in his life. I had promies Jake that we would come back and catch up some more. It was a week later when we went back to Jake's house. There was a few news vans parked outside the house and police cars. I looked over at Jenn, who looked over to a office who was getting in to his car. I walked over and asked what happen. I was shocked to hear that She came home, found her son and husband had been murder. I couldn't believe that my best friend was dead. We went back home and I sat in a chair and watched the news. The new reports where all over this and they had found out that both their life insures together was hundred million. I gress Jake out out of his depression and was able to fly away. The case went cold a few years later, no one had heard from Jake's wife. I still think she did it.
