CHAPTER 44
Ian lost his job the week after Von took him home. Prolonged sick leave, unsatisfactory attendance, whichever snide form of words they used it came down to the same thing: the companies he dealt with didn’t want a dying man anywhere near their businesses, their premises or their staff. Perhaps they thought he was infectious. I swore when he told me, but the fatigue, the resignation, sat in his voice when he answered me.

The school.

It was the dead of night as the young catholic schoolgirl skipped across the parking lot. The old asphalt with its many cracks was still giving off heat from the long hot summers day. She carried nothing but what looked to be a small fashionable purse with her. It was very late to see such a schoolgirl out on a Wednesday night. There was not to be a holiday the next day nor on the Friday following. For the few older teen boys hanging out behind the old abandoned theater she was a tempting piece of meat.

Going home.

The last thing I remember was walking into my cheap apartment after a rowdy night with the guys. This is pretty much the same as every other night when one goes to a university in which your parents are paving the way for you. I was to graduate from university in another month or two. My grades were all top scores, which is kinda hard to not get when your two apartment mates have been various tutors in the subjects you were taking. My only escape from the horrid life dictated by my parents before I was even out of the crib was partying.

Rock Star, by Jennifer White - To be followed by Rock Star: Coda, by Karin Bishop

Jennifer White has written a great many stories; "Rock Star" appeared at Crystal’s Story Site in 2004. I wondered 'What Happened Next?' and wrote a coda, a sequel of sorts. I have tried several ways to contact Ms. White to ask for permission to add my sequel, but have been unable to locate her.
Please follow the link and read “Rock Star”, by Jennifer White. When you’ve done that, I’ll post my “Rock Star: Coda” in two parts.
