The taxi suddenly stopped in its tracks, and Luna was awoken by the sound of the tires screeching. At last, she had arrived to Pasadena in Los Angeles.

She was welcomed by the fresh air when she hopped out the cab. Luna decided to come here to visit her friend of seven years - Eva La Vigne. Their friendship started when they met each other in sunday school. From thereon, they started a bond that they felt, could never be broken but after some time, Eva had to move back to Chicago where she originally came from. Ever since, they haven’t spoken or seen each other.The taxi driver pivoted in his seat.

“Pasadena, Los Angeles. That’ll be $19.81.”

Luna gave the man her cash through his window and returned a gentle smile. “The ride is much appreciated, Sir.” Luna said while wrapping her silk scarf around her neck. The taxi headed out as Luna remained standing on a road fixed with little houses.

Luna reached for the note in her purse that had Eva’s address on it. She squinted as she carefully read over it.

‘660 Nickel Road, Pasadena 91101’

She looked up from note in her hand and scanned the area. Well, this was Nickel Road. Luna pursed her lips and looked for a house that had brown gates. She continued to walk along the path while she searched for Eva’s house. Finally, in the distance, she could see brown, metal gates that surrounded a nice little cottage house. Luna approached the borders of the house and clicked open the lock attached to the gate.

Strangely enough, Eva’s front door was unlocked. Luna suddenly got a bad feeling about all this. She held onto her breath and opened the door slightly.

“Hello? Eva, are you home!?!?!” She shouted in desperation.

Luna suddenly stopped dead in her tracks. All colour from her face vanished as her heart crumbled at the sight of her best friend’s arms sprawled out on the coffee table, her eyes closed and her lips smudged with a white substance.

She didn’t cry. Not because she was a tough woman. Hell, she wanted to cry so fucking bad but the tears wouldn’t come out. She couldn’t feel anything anymore.
