Chapter 3
Secret Revealed.
Laura twirled her hair with her fingers as she walked down the street, school had ended an hour ago and she was merely bored out of her mind as she sighed and then hummed to herself as she continued down the street while twirling her hair. Laura hummed to herself and continued on her merry way as she sighed to herself and hummed more and then mumbled under her breath as she kicked a rock during her little stroll down the street. Laura smiled to herself, earlier on Jack had introduced her to Miko and they got along well as they did chat the other day.
Laura quickly became friends with Raf and Miko and she would hang with them and Jack during their free time, it was not a big group but at least they stuck together as Vince avoided Laura since that incident in the cafeteria, the news of her father on the run after a warrant out for his arrest had spread like wildfire, not that Laura cared, he could rot in prison for eternity and never see the light of day again, that's what Laura wants to happen to her father.
Laura came to a stop and looked at her home as it loomed over her, despite not living there any longer, the memories hit her directly in the face and she didn't like it one bit, she hated this home and wishes it didn't exist, there were more bad memories in the home than good ones. Laura sighed in defeat and continued down the street as she kicked another stone during her walk, grumbling under her breath as she walked, she had her hands in her pockets as she walked more.
Laura smirked to herself, she still can't get over the warrant that was out for her father, she felt amused by it and pleased also. Laura paused and looked up to the sky as the sun was beginning to set. Laura turned around and walked the way she came as it would soon get dark, she began to go for a small jog down the path as cars zoomed by. Laura was on the look out, just in case a car comes to a skidding halt and her father jumps out the vehicle and hit her, she shook her head and continued her journey back.
Laura paused and sighed to herself as she walked more, dragging her feet on the pavement as she walked along as she looked to the floor with her hands in her pockets, she looked to the sky and smiled to herself as she continued her stroll down the quiet street, despite it being quiet, she was still alert and looking around for any sign of her father, and she means any sign, so far so good he was nowhere in sighed. Laura took a deep breath and went from walking to jogging as she quickly jogged down the street before something unlucky or bad will happen.
She paused ever so slightly and shivered a bit but not a lot and then continued her walk down the street as she kicked a can which she didn't notice, shrugging it off she continued her walk. Laura paused and began to think of the last two dramatic days, the warrant had caught her off guard as she never thought he would be capable of that, but then again, it did explain why her father would be out all night some days, she assumed he went out drinking but that wasn't the case at all, it doesn't concern her, it's his fault the police are on his trail and want to arrest his ass for what he did.
The sooner they arrest him and get him off the streets the better, that would make Laura the happiest person in Jasper once she learns he got arrested. Laura hummed to herself as she continued her soon to be evening walk.
Laura sat on the windowsill as she watched the stars twinkle in the night sky as she couldn't sleep once more, something like this was a favourite pass time for her as it would help get through the next day and afternoon. Laura sighed to herself, she still believes this is a dream, but she knew it wasn't, she knew this was no dream but reality which she couldn't help but smile at, she shifted to get comfortable and continued to look out the window as she sighed to herself.
People will be asking questions soon, questions she doesn't know or have, and knowing her luck some people who support or are friends with her father will blame her, if she has to make enemies to hate her father, then so be it. Laura crossed her arms and stared intensely to the outside world as she frowned to herself.
She really wants to tell someone, but either doesn't have a clue what to say or she's simply afraid she'll get badly hurt or worse killed by the man who caused her pain. Laura sighed to herself and continued to look out the window as the moon shone in the clear, night sky, she somehow has to get the story out, tell someone who will listen to her, because none of the people she and her fathers knows will believe her as they are supportive of her father.
And some people wonder why she has no hope in humankind nor faith. Laura huffed to herself, she rather live on another planet than Earth itself, sadly that's not the case and even if there was a planet with oxygen, she had no way off this planet. Laura got off the windowsill and headed towards the bed that was waiting for her and was calling for her name. She climbed in and shifted to get comfortable and simply allowed sleep to take over as the moon's rays shone through the window and into the room, brightening the room up, which didn't faze Laura one bit.
It was the next morning as two boys were talking to themselves outside on the steps.
"Did you hear? Her dad is got an arrest warrant." The first boy said, clearly referring to Laura.
"Why's that?"
"Drug trafficking apparently."
"Tch, she probably did drugs herself."
Laura twirled around at the two boys, clearly pissed of what she was hearing. Jack didn't look to pleased with what the two boys said about her either, neither did Raf nor Miko, but Laura was downright pissed about what they just said. The news of her father's arrest warrant had spread like wildfire.
"You two!" Laura snarled as the two boys turned to face her.
"Do you know me well!" She asked in anger.
"Not really." One of the boys admitted.
"Then don't talk shit about me behind my back! Be a man and face me when saying it! As if I touched something that would ruin my life!"
Laura turned around once more and stormed to go inside the school building with Jack and the others following her, mumbles reached her ears as she felt her temper getting the best of her, normally she would be calm and cool but her anger was really showing, she took a deep, shaky breath to calm herself down. A hand was placed on her shoulder.
"Are you ok?" Raf asked her.
"I'll be fine." Laura assured him, more calmer than before. "Sorry you had to see that."
"Dude, some people are arrogant." Miko told her.
"Ugh! Don't I know it." Laura grumbled as she referred to Vince and her father.
Whispers reached her ears as she felt her temper rise once more, she has never been this angry before, but then again, it was probably a result of what she had been what she went through at the hands of her own father, her own flesh and blood. Laura clenched her hands until her knuckles went white and the whispering stopped, knowing they would get her full wrath, something they don't want. Laura is normally cool and calm, but when she loses her temper, that's it, who knows what she'll do to her victims.
"That's right, you better go quiet!" Miko told them all.
Jack rolled his eyes and dragged the Asian girl away while Laura followed and smirked at the small scene as Raf smiled and was the last one to follow the three older humans as they walked down the hall, all the while Miko was protesting to being dragged.
All the anger had washed away and was replaced by amusement.
Muttering filled the Cafeteria as the small group sat at a table. Laura stabbed her meatloaf as the three looked on. Laura grumbled under her breath and stabbed her meatloaf once more, the three knew why she was mumbling. Vince had flirted with her...Again, hoping to get on her good side since that milk incident. Laura wasn't buying it.
"Dude, the look on Vince's face was funny." Miko snickered.
Laura smirked. "I know, it was, wasn't it."
Laura gave the poor meatloaf one last stab before lowering the fork and took a sip of her milk.
"Aren't you going to eat that?" Raf asked.
"Not hungry, Vince put me off my food." Laura told the boy as Miko snickered once more.
Laura placed the carton on the tray and crossed her arms as she let out one last grumble and then sighed to herself, luckily most of the muttering had stopped, if looks could kill they would be all dead, well, except for the three that are sharing the same table as Laura. She knows Vince was looking at her. Laura didn't need to turn and face him , she simply knew he was looking at her. Laura groaned to herself, she simply can't wait for the day to end.
Laura stepped out the building relived that the day was over. She sat on the steps waiting. Jack and Raf emerged from the building as they approached her, but there was one person missing from the little group.
"Where's Miko?" Raf asked her.
"Detention." Laura answered. "She didn't do her Math homework."
Jack shook his head as Raf gave a small smile. Laura got off from the step and dusted herself off as she then picked her bag up and placed it over her shoulder and then adjusted it.
"Could hear the teacher yell from down the hall." Laura told the two and then grinned.
"That's Miko for you." Raf told the two.
"She believes School is prison, I kinda agree with her." Laura added.
"Let's go Laura." Jack told her as she looked at him. "Gotta fulfill that promise I made."
Raf looked confused for a second but he knew once the pieces came together and he looked at the two.
"See you guys later." Raf told them as he headed towards Bumblebee.
They watched him climb in and then the vehicle drive off.
"Isn't Raf a bit too young to drive?" Laura asked.
"Automatic car." Jack answered.
"I guess that makes sense, not like I will tell anyone."
The two climbed on the awaiting motorcycle and the two left, not really aware of three purple vehicles watching and waiting to strike. Laura peeked through the mirror and instantly got confused by it while Jack bit back the urge to groan. Arcee mentally cursed, why now? Why must the Decepticons ruin a simple drive.
"Laura, it's best you hold on."
"Jack?"
"Will tell you later."
Laura blinked but listened anyway as they sped up. Laura frowned, no matter how fast they were going, the vehicles were following their every trail.
"Laura, just promise me one thing."
"What?"
"Don't freak, ok."
She said nothing as they came to a stop and climbed off. Laura noticed warehouses around them but she said nothing and stood not far from Jack as the three vehicles caught up with them and to her surprise, they Transformed, just as she promised Jack, she wasn't freaking out even thought she really wanted to, but that wouldn't do anyone good.
"Jack, take Laura and go hide!" Arcee told him as she aimed her weapons at the Decepticons.
Jack grabbed her wrist and pulled away just as the gunfire began. Laura flinched as one barely missed them and they retreated into a warehouse.
"What's going on?" Laura asked Jack now that they're in the safety of a warehouse.
"I hoped you wouldn't get involved."
"Huh?"
They entered an once office. Laura sat in one chair while Jack sat in another.
"Those were Decepticons." Jack explained.
"Decepticons?" Laura questioned.
"The bad guys."
"So...Your motorcycle...What is-."
"Arcee is an Autobot."
"So...The good ones, right?"
"Yeah, that's right.
The two paused as Laura looked to the ceiling to allow what she saw to sink in, once she felt that was done, she looked at Jack once more.
"So what about the other vehicles I see?"
"They're also Autobots."
"Oh, alright then."
"Just to let you know." Jack told Laura seriously. "This isn't fun and games."
"That's something you tell Miko." Laura said amused.
"That's because I do, and sometimes Ratchet."
"Huh?"
"You'll meet him after this and Optimus."
"Oh."
Laura snapped her eyes open as she heard the door open, she peeked to see it was Jack who opened the door. Laura got to her feet and followed Jack as he signalled her to follow, they were met with silence as Laura frowned.
"Do you think it's over?" Laura asked quietly.
"Probably."
She said nothing else and gripped the handle of her bag. They approached the warehouse's entrance and Jack peeked outside. Laura was not far from him as she was tense.
"Nice hiding place."
The two perked up and spotted Arcee approach them as Laura relaxed, but not a lot, she was still getting used to what she saw. Laura watched as the femme turned back to her alt mode.
"We better go before more cons show up." Arcee told the two.
"Did you give word to Ratchet and Optimus?"
"About another human getting involved? I did."
Laura looked around as they drive through the desert, she felt nervous as hell and swallowed the lump in her throat, she needed to remain calm, she just needed to.
'This is crazy.' Laura thought as they continued their drive.
'I can understand why Jack kept it a secret though.'
They got closer and closer as Laura closed her eyes for a brief second and then opening them, she felt the nerves building up but was remaining calm about it. She watched the cliff face open and she silently gulped as they went from tar mark road to metal. Laura bit her bottom lip as they entered the main room.
"It's ok." Jack muttered to her quietly. "You'll be fine."
Laura said nothing but to remain silent as she took it all in, which was rather difficult at this time.
"Uh...This is what we do after school." Jack explained.
Laura noticed the attention was on her as the nerves simply became strong.
Laura couldn't deny it, she was speechless.
And I'm done, an update for my lovely readers.
Please review, thank you.
