Disclaimer: I do not own Left Behind: The Kids, they belong to Tim Lahaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. If I did then this series would have a book 41 and a TV show. Plus Judd and Vicki would have gotten together a long time ago.
Hey guys. So the idea for this story kind of just came to me and I really wanted to try it. It's an alternate plot of the characters of Left Behind: The Kids. I will still be updating Just A Thousand Years, so if you have any ideas for it, message me! Okay, so I hope you enjoy this. Please review.
I sit, glancing between the phone and the clock. Judd had told her that he would call her at 4:30, and it was 4:47. It is not part of my personality to obsess over something like this, but in times like this it had become normal to expect the worst and then just to take what would come.
I know that Judd would be home any time in the next few weeks, and the thought of him being here with me thrilled me. There were so many people here at the camp in Wisconsin that I can't wait for him to meet. Cheryl, Tanya, Ty, Chad...
I take a moment to think about how Judd will react when he finds out Chad Harris is staying with us. He got very upset the last time I spent time with Chad, mainly because he knew Chad liked me. I knew this was true. Chad has even told me this. I tried to let him down softly, explaining to him that I had feelings for Judd. He was even going to go get Judd for me, but Zeke Jr. was able to talk him out of it, telling him he would get himself, and quite possibly, Judd killed. Chad had, reluctantly, decided to stay and help out at the camp.
My thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of the phone. I quickly fumble with it and answer the call eagerly.
"Hello" I say, energetically.
"Vick? It's Judd." He answers.
I smile to myself. "How are you?"
I can hear talk in the background and Judd trying to shush them. I laugh. "Good." He replies. "It's been crazy. Lionel and I cannot wait to get home. I really miss you, Vick'."
I blush. "I really miss you too. Do you guys have any idea when you will be here?"
"Um...well, this is not a definite, but we are aiming for an arrival around...um...next week."
"Really?!" I exclaim.
Judd chuckled and says "Yeah. I can't wait to get there and see everyone. And see you."
"I can't wait to see you either. It will be really nice to talk face to face instead of always emailing and calling."
"Yeah, we can finally have that talk about...us" Judd says, somewhat shyly.
I laugh and try to think of something to say when I hear a knock at the door.
"There is as someone at the door of my cabin. Hold on. "I say, while the person keeps knocking.
"I'm coming." I say aloud. I open my cabin's door, behind which Conrad and Chad stand behind. They smile shyly when they see that I had been on the phone.
"What's up, guys?" I ask them.
"Marshall was wondering if you guys had some extra pillow cases that you could spare. We are getting some of the older cabins ready in case we have any new people come here soon. "Conrad explains.
I go to the small closet in the cabin and look through it. I shake my head.
"Nope. We have none. Sorry."
"It's okay, Vicki. Thanks anyway." Chad says.
They leave and I quickly return to the call with Judd. "Sorry about that."
"It's fine. Who was that?" He asks.
"Oh just Conrad and -" I stop myself.
"And who?" He asks me again.
"No one. I mean, you have not met them yet. You can meet him when you get here. Okay?"
"Vick?" Judd says, almost doubtful.
"Judd, it's nothing. Okay? You can trust me." I say, without even thinking about what I was saying.
Judd sighs. "Okay." I hear him say something in the background. "Hey, I have to go, but I will call you soon and I'll email you tomorrow, okay?"
I smile. "Okay. Be careful. I'm praying for you and I really miss you."
"Miss you too. Bye."
"Bye." I say and with that, he is gone.
I set the phone down and flop onto my bed. I am so excited about Judd coming home soon, but I am dreading his meeting Chad. I don't know if he will take to him.
I stand up and look out the window. Judd is in for a surprise when he gets here.
Well, there you go. What did you think? Please review!
