bonbon: I own nothing! Enjoy the story!!! ( smiles while holding a thing of Oreos) Oreos Rock my socks! Tatum's POV
"Please TGms!" Sarah begs walking behind me, following me down the brightly lit school hall way. I heave a sigh of frustration.
"No Sarah. You know I can't go." I tell her, glaring over my shoulder at her pouting face.
"Just sneak out! Your mom wouldn't ever know!" She offers.
"Of course she would!" I yell flabbergasted by her thinking process. "I'd be gone for all Fall Break! That's two weeks!" I push open the door leading to the parking lot and walk towards Sarah's silver BMW, weaving my way through the other cars. She groans from behind me. I grab the handle to her car and open the door. I set my books down in the back seat and slide my messenger bag off my shoulder and into her car.
"Just this once give the goody two shoes act the boot and live a little." Sarah pleas slamming the car door, barely missing my hand. I sigh and look up at her. Her blonde hair shines like a halo in the sun, her bright green eyes stare down at me, begging me to come with her.
"I can't." I sigh again. "I'm already in trouble from the little escapades you took me on during Spring Break. Remember?"
"I remember that." She laughs; a very pleased smile stretches across her face. She looks down at me. "I finally got you to try walking around in a bathing suit and in front of guys no less. I was very pleased with myself." I shake my head at her opening the passenger side door. I slide in and turn to shut the door. Sarah shuts the door, then leans in through the open window and grins at me.
"You'll come. I know you will." She says walking away.
"No!" I yell watching her jog around the front of the car and open the driver's side door. "No, Sarah! Don't you dare pull any of your strings! Do you hear me?!" She shrugs all nonchalant.
"Sure I hear you," she says starting the car. "Seat belt." She warns clipping hers on. I sigh and clip mine on. She pulls out if the parking space and drives to the exit. She pauses letting some kids from Green House walk by. I turn to her scowling.
"Sarah don't do anything reckless, please." It was my turn to beg. Sarah rolls her eyes.
"I won't do anything Jesse wouldn't do." She promises smiling over at me. I groan.
"That's what I was afraid of." I mumble resting my head against the door.
"How are the two most beautiful women doing today?" Jesse's all too familiar voice calls from the sidewalk to our left. Sarah turns her head to the side as I lean forward. We both smile as Jesse, our hot Hispanic friend, walks towards us.
"Get in you goof ball!" She yells nodding her head to the back seats. He jogs over to the car and opens the back door. He sighs seeing all my books and my bursting bag.
"Tatum." He groans pushing the stuff aside. I smile sheepishly at him.
"Your brain can not retain all of this information." He says resting his chin on Sarah's seat as he looks over at me.
"Ooh, a new word. Was that the word of the day Jesse?" Sarah asks teasing him about his word calendar in his locker.
"No, today's word is benighted. You're such a benighted young woman, Sarah." He says in a pleasant voice. Sarah eyes him warily before looking at me.
"What does that mean?" I shake my head, my lips a tight line holding in laughter. Sarah slams her hands against the steering wheel.
"Damn it! Someone tell me what it means!" She growls at us. We both laugh at her. She scowls at the front window driving forward and onto the road.
"Fine, don't tell me." She says betrayal tainting her voice. I smile at her happily.
"I'm going to enjoy the trip Sarah." She gasps and looks at me the car swerving a little.
"Sarah!" Jesse and I yell in unison.
"Sorry." She mumbles righting the car before throwing quick peeks at me. "Really?" She asks.
"No." I laugh seeing her sad expression. "But I'll do my best to try and convince my mom to let me go." Sarah beams at me happily.
"This is going to be the best ever!" She squeals. Me and Jesse sigh. I roll up my window the wind blowing my hair all over the place. Jesse leans back his head resting against the seat.
"You know what TGms?" Sarah asks.
"Hm?" I ask raising my head and looking at her.
"Your hair would look so much cuter if you would layer it." She says eyeing my hair in a way that made me want to hide all scissors in my house. I sigh.
"You're not touching my hair, Sarah." I mumble resting my head back against the window, suddenly feeling tired.
"Fine." She grumbles. I roll my eyes behind my closed eyelids. Soft country music suddenly fills the car. I could feel my lips pull up into a small smile as I drift off into pleasant, peaceful sleep. It seemed like only a few minutes had passed when I was rudely awaken.
"Tatum." Sarah's voice calls. "Tatum, you've got to wake up." I shiver feeling something cold brush my forehead. My eyes slowly blink open. The first thing I see is...green? Lots and lots of green.
"It's so green." I mumble. Sarah's face pops into view.
"It'd better be, for what I paid for in gas." She grumbles down at me. I blink at her.
"Pay for in-My house isn't that far from school." I mumble sitting up. I gasp seeing all the humongous green trees. My mouth falls open with a loud pop.
"Where-Where -Where are we?" I ask sliding off the thing I was sitting on. I walk a few feet forwards and stop.
"Well...we're in Forks." She says warily.
"I don't remember a Forks in Kentucky, Sarah." I say turning around and glaring at her. I gasp taking in the sight of her and Jesse standing next to Tony's, Jesse's older brother, old red truck. I remember asking him what it was one time; he had said it was a 1985 Chevy Silverado. My eyes trail back to Sarah murder in my eyes.
"Do not tell me we're in Forks, Washington?!" I yell at Sarah. She cringes and hides behind Jesse.
"Fine then, I won't say it." He says. I groan falling to the ground. My butt hits the ground with a wet squishing sound. I groan again feeling water seep into my jeans.
"Sarah how could you?" I ask tears stinging my eyes. She looks away ashamed.
"I'm sorry. I just want you to get out more. You can't spend your entire life living alone in a cave." She says kneeling next to me.
"Do you know what my mom's going to do?!" I yell at her. She jerks her slightly extended hand back. Shaking her head she sits down on the cold, wet ground. I could feel the sobs building up in my chest.
"She's going to send me to Gary's!" I yell the tears beginning to flow. Sarah gasps in horror. Jesse balks.
"No," he whispers.
"I won't let her!" Sarah yells throwing her arms around my shaking form.
"I have no choice." I mumble into her shoulder. Sarah squeezes me tighter before jerking back.
"Then we'll just have to enroll here." She decides. I gasp my tears momentarily stopping.
"Sarah, what have you done?" Jesse asks recollecting himself enough to walk over to us. He kneels behind me to stare at Sarah. Sarah smiles at us both.
"Let's move to La Push!"
