I'm back for a new chapter! Finally. I was doing 'final' touches on it yesterday, but there's probably still lots of errors. At least I try to write well, so that's good.
PrincessSparkleKitty: Yeah, basically and there is a little twist to it later in the book.
HawiianChick12: Not quite exactly, good guess though.
Please excuse grammar mistakes or any other errors.
Two days later
Janelle invited Bree to her house, she couldn't wait to tell her the good news. Bree knocks on the door and immediately, Janelle open the door dragging her in. Bree can't help, but laugh at Janelle who's jumping up and down.
"Guess what!" Janelle says.
Bree looks at Janelle, who has papers in her hand. "What?"
"I'm going to be in commercial! It's tomorrow." Janelle squeals, holding the paper to Bree's face so she can clearly see.
Bree snatches the small packet and takes a quick look at it. "That's awesome! What's it for?"
"I think it's for an insurance company." Janelle says. Bree hands the papers back to Janelle. "Leo is going to be there with me."
"Oh…" Bree slowly moves herself to the couch with a smirk on her face.
Janelle doesn't know what that smile means, but she has an idea. "If you say anything, I will not take you to the commercial set."
Bree frowns at Janelle, "what do you think I was thinking?"
Janelle sets the papers on the table and sits down on the couch. "maybe you thought, ImightlikeLeo."
"What? I didn't hear the last part." Bree comments, purposely wanting Janelle to say it again.
Janelle groans, knowing Bree's game. "I might like Leo. There happy?"
Bree squeals and quickly sits next to her. "Of course! My best friend likes my other friend!"
"Since when is Leo your friend?" Janelle asks. Since what she knows, they barely talk. Janelle talked to Leo all the time. They had gym and 2nd block together.
On the other hand, Bree knew she screw up just a tiny bit. Yes, she considered Leo her friend, but they were really acquaintances. Bree couldn't just say, 'well my boyfriend is really good friends with him and that's how we're friends'. Then, another thing came up, was Chase really her boyfriend? They did kiss a couple of times, but he never officially asked her out.
Bree comes back to reality, answering Janelle's question. "I suppose we're friends. He is Marcus's friend."
Janelle shakes her head slowly, "you said it. Marcus's friend. Anyway, changing topics. Are you still ok with the whole Chase thing?"
Bree feels her palms get sweaty and her heart races just by the mention of his name. "I don't want to talk about it."
"It's ok to have that type of feeling." Janelle says.
Bree looks up to her right in the eye. She sternly says, "what feelings do you think I have?"
They way Bree answers makes Janelle flinch a little. Janelle notices there's something Bree isn't telling her. The way Bree was acting when she mentioned Chase, gave it all the way. "What are you hiding from me?"
"Something, but I don't feel comfortable saying it."
Janelle sighs, "what's the part you don't feel comfortable about?"
"Everything!" Bree stands up in frustration, mostly because it's difficult to explain. "Turns out he's not dead and he wants to leave with me in a week. Chase wants me to leave everything behind! He said I'm in trouble."
Janelle didn't want to hurt Bree's feelings, but she couldn't contain her laughter. "Nice one Bree."
From her sudden outburst, Bree grabs Janelle's wrist, lifting her off the couch. "I'm not kidding!"
Janelle jerks her hands off Bree's grip. She rubs her wrist slightly to ease the pain away. "don't have to pull me up you know."
"Sorry." Bree paces around the room, deep in thought. "If there was only a way for you to believe me."
"Bree, it's ok. From the state I see you in, I'll believe you." Janelle says. Bree takes deep breaths to calm herself down.
"Ok, I'm good now. Where were we about your commercial."
Janelle smiles at the mention of it. "I can't wait to tell you all about it."
Bree stays with Janelle, wanting to know all about the commercial.
It was the day Janelle gets to be in the commercial. Leo was with her getting ready, he's one of the extras. The set was outside near a forest. There is a blue car, where Janelle is suppose to be in when they film.
Bree was by Janelle's side, helping her with the script. "You have this memorized?"
"I think so." Janelle responds.
The makeup artist moves away and Janelle stands up. The director tells her to get in the car and drive it a few feet. Once she did that, Leo stopped walking. The director yelled cut and the rest get ready for the next scene. The director allowed Bree to be one of the extras with Leo.
As the camera is about to roll again, Janelle is trying to open the door. She pushes it, but nothing happens. She stays calm and tries the passenger door. Nothing. Janelle panics a little, not knowing what to do.
"Guys! I can't open the door." Janelle taps the window to get the attention of the crew. Leo tries to help Janelle with the rest. Bree walks to the car, but there's an unusual smell that wasn't there before.
As Bree approaches the back of the car, the smell gets stronger. She bends over and sees gas leaking from it. This alarms her. They need to get Janelle out, now.
"There's gas leaking from the car!" Bree yells getting their attention.
One of the helpers walks over where Bree is, she gets on her knees and checks for the leak. She quickly stands up and looks at Bree with perturbed look. She mutters, "this car is about to blow."
She woman jumps into action and looks for something to smash the glass. Bree asks, "what are you doing?"
"I'm looking for something to get your friend out before the car explodes!" The woman yelled loud enough, Janelle starts to yell and slam her fists against the window.
"Please! I don't wanna die!" Janelle pleads. She starts to cry, fearing what will happen if she doesn't make it out in time.
The back of the car starts to light on fire. Janelle's voice is much more desperate each time. Leo tries to break the glass with his hands and elbows. In results, he ends up with pain and a bloody hand. This is where strength could come in handy, Leo thinks.
Another person that's beside Leo says, "it's too late… IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE! RUN!"
The rest run, even Leo but Bree rushes to the door trying to get her out. "I'm not leaving you!"
"It's no use… Run, run while you can!" Janelle looks at her, "save yourself."
Bree shakes her head, refusing to leave Janelle's side. At that moment someone pushes Bree aside, causing her to fall near a bush. The car explodes and some of it's compartments fly everywhere.
Bree doesn't look at the scene yet, but looks to her right. She sees the person sit up and the hoodie falls. "You didn't expect me to be here did you?"
"What were you doing here?" Bree asks.
"I know where you go. Before you call me names, I have a good explanation." Chase said. "That was suppose to be you."
"In the car?" Bree asks.
Chase nods. He takes a small peak at the scene, before bending over a little. "I'm sorry about Janelle. From what happened, we're leaving tomorrow night."
"No." Bree says coldly. "I would leave everything behind. I'm not going with you to some random place. I didn't say anything because I never got the chance to. Now, my answer is no."
"Do you want your family to run the same faith as Janelle. Death?" Chase responds with the same tone as her.
Bree stares at him and says, "of course not."
"Then you have to come with me." Chase said.
Bree gives up. She knows if she stays, her family will die. But if she leaves, her family will be left behind, yet alive. "Fine. Where are we going?"
"At a small house that's just out of town." Chase explains. "I'll tell you more details tomorrow."
Bree nods and stands up. The firefighters, ambulance, and police were there. Bree goes over to the crowd, she looks back and he's gone. There's no going back on her decision.
It might be awhile til I update again. I'm hoping that it won't. If that's the case then forgive me. The good news is my winter break starts on the 19th. So I'll have time to write. Also there is a trailer I'm putting up on Friday about the other book that I'm writing, if you wanna check it out. Until next time.
