"Laura,
I'm not a teenager, and that's who blind dates are for,
teenagers." Tina Shepard said to her friend Laura, who was trying
to talk Tina into going on a blind date.
"No, Tina, blind dates
aren't for teenagers. They are for people who NEED a boyfriend, and
that's exactly what you need. How long has it been anyways?"
"Why
does it matter? I'm happy without a guy in my life." Tina
complained.
"HOW
LONG?" Laura demanded. Tina rolled her eyes.
"I was seventeen
when I had my last boyfriend, so ... fourteen years ago?" Laura's
jaw dropped.
"FOURTEEN
YEARS AGO? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" Laura asked, shocked.
"NO,
I'M NOT KIDDING YOU! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE TINA, I DON'T WANT TO
TALK ABOUT THIS AND I'M NOT GOING ON YOUR STUPID BLIND DATE!"
Tina screamed with tears in her eyes. Laura was shocked by Tina's
outburst.
"Calm down Tina. What's wrong? Why has it been so
long since you've last had a boyfriend?" Laura asked her friend,
concerned.
"I'm ... I'm sorry for yelling at you. My last boyfriend's name was Nick. About fourteen years ago I met him at Camp Crystal Lake, and..."
"YOU MEAN CAMP BLOOD!?!" Laura interrupted.
"Uhmm,
yeah I guess. Just listen. I was there with my mom and my doctor at
the time, Dr. Crews. We were there on vacation, and Dr. Crews came
along to monitor my uhh .. "abilities". One night after being
upset by bad news Crews, I ran out to the dock, and well ... you know
what happened to my father right? Tina asked. Laura nodded. "Well,
I just felt so guilty for his death, so I went out on the dock, and I
concentrated on my father, and I tried... I tried to bring him back.
Only I didn't bring him back, I brought some killer in a hockey
mask who drowned there as a boy named Jason Voorhees back!" Tina
added. Laura's eyes widened. "I tried to tell Dr. Crews and my
mom, but they didn't believe me. So Jason killed everyone; my mom,
doctor crews, and a bunch of kids who were trying to throw a birthday
party for Rick's cousin, Michael. He killed everyone but me and
Rick, we managed to escape thanks to daddy." Tina was in
tears.
"What do you mean thanks to daddy?" Laura asked,
confused.
"Well... he came out of the lake, and he drug Jason
down there with him."
"Well why did you and Rick ever break
up?" Laura asked.
"We didn't. About three months after all
of this happened, Rick vanished without a trace. We were supposed to
go to a party one night so I went to his house to pick him up, but he
wasn't there, and his parents said they hadn't seen him in hours.
He never came back home. People say different things, but I know what
happened to him ... Jason came back for him. It's a wonder he
hasn't found me yet." Tina said with tears rolling down her
cheeks. Laura hugged her friend.
"Tina, that was almost fifteen
years ago now. Jason's long gone, there hasn't been any reported
murders around here all that time. He's dead, you don't have to
worry about him ever coming back. Now dry your eyes, because I am
setting you up with this guy whether you like it or not." Laura
said. Tina was started to feel better.
"Well
if you're going to make me go through with this at least tell me
about the guy." Tina said.
"He's
in the film industry." Laura proclaimed.
"The film industry?
Is he an actor? Was he in anything I might have heard of?" Tina
asked.
"No, he's not an actor." Laura answered.
"Well
what is he? A director? Writer?" Tina asked, interested.
"No he's neither of those, he is a special effects and makeup artist for a lot of independent sci-fi movies." Laura said. Tina looked disappointed, yet still interested.
"How
do you know him anyways?" Tina asked.
"He's my friends
sister." Laura responded.
"Which friend?" Tina asked?
"I
don't think you know her. She's an old friend of mine from high
school." Laura exclaimed.
"Well
just tell me two things. Is he cute, and what's his name?" Tina
demanded.
"Yes, he's actually quite attractive, and his name
is Tommy Jarvis." Laura answered.
