Chapters 4-5 BONUS CHAPTER Meetin' the Gang
After like 5 minutes of considering whether to go or not, I had made up my mind. I didn't even need to explain anything to May and Dip, just say I had to go home. I left my bike in it's usual spot and went out front where Bea was with Wendy, another girl, and two guys. They were beside a beat-up minivan. "Hey Bea." I said, walking over to them. "Hey Addie! Come here! You obviously already know Wendy," Bea said. "Hey there again Addie." Wendy said, waving. I waved back."This is Thompson," Bea said, pointing to a guy in a green shirt. "Hi." I said. "Hello." He replied. He seems pretty nice. "Tamry," Bea continued, pointing to a girl with purple streaks in her hair who wouldn't look up from her phone. "OMG I love your hair it totally suits you. Do you like to text? I love to." I said. Tamry looked up at me and looked me over. "What's your number?" she asked. I gave her my number and she texted me almost immediately.
"And the guy in the black sweater's Robbie. (Can you say downer?)"
I giggled. Bea read the text. "So I'm guessing you know Robbie then?" Bea asked. I nodded. "Okay so are we gonna see that cemetary movie marathon or what?" I asked. There were cheers as we loaded into the van. I was between Wendy, and Bea with Tamry close behind. I leaned over and turned the radio on. Robbie sent me a death glare and I just rolled my eyes. He just didn't scare me. He was surprised. A song came on and Tamry and Bea squealed.
"I'm feeling sexy and free
Like glitter's raining on me
You're like a shot of pure gold
I think I'm bout to explode
I can taste the tension like a cloud of smoke in the air
Now I'm breathing like I'm running cause you're taking me there
Don't you know...you spin me out of control
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
We can do this all night
Turn this love skin tight
Baby come on baby
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Booming like a bass drum
Sparking up a rhythm
Baby, come on!
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Rock my world until the sunlight
Make this dream the best I've ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
Every second is a highlight
When we touch don't ever let me go
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
You got me losing my mind
My heart beats out of time
I'm seeing Hollywood stars
You strum me like a guitar
I can taste the tension like a cloud of smoke in the air
Now I'm breathing like I'm running cause you're taking me there
Don't you know...you spin me out of control
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
We can do this all night
Turn this love skin tight
Baby come on
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Boom'n like a bass drum
Sparkin' up a rhythm
Baby, come on!
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Rock my world until the sunlight
Make this dream the best I've ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
Every second is a highlight
When we touch don't ever let me go
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
Ooh baby baby got me feeling so right
Ooh baby baby dancing in the moonlight
Ooh baby baby got me feeling so right
Ooh baby baby dancing in the moonlight
Ooh baby baby got me feeling so right
Ooh baby baby dancing in the moonlight
Ooh baby baby got me feeling so right
Ooh baby baby
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Rock my world until the sunlight
Make this dream the best I've ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
Every second is a highlight
When we touch don't ever let me go
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino"
All the girls were singing, including me. At the end of the song, we realized that we were at the cemetary. The movies were boring. Wendy and I were making fun of them, Bea was actually scared along with Thompson and...Robbie! Ha! Tamry was being too busy texting. The marathon ended at midnight. We all went home and Robbie had to drive Thompson was too scared. I saw that Thompson and Bea were being scared now, Robbie was going to have nightmares, Tamry was too, and Wendy and I were just plain old making fun of the movies. Wendy really is like me. I got Tamry's, Wendy's, Thompson's and Robbie's numbers by the end of the night. Surprising. I was super tired and fell asleep quickly after doing my nightly routine.
"Well now you've made some more new friends."
"Ugh, you again. What do you want?"
"You'll find out soon enough. Patience."
"What about her?"
"Oh you'll find she's serving me well. She's been easily persuaded. You'll meet another one of my minions soon enough."
"Gabriel..."
"Not anymore."
"Patience..."
"She's gone too."
"Of course! It was you! All you!"
"Maybe. Maybe not. All in good time my dear. You'll find your precious siblings soon enough."
"No! NO! You monster! What happened to them?! STOP!"
I woke up in a cold sweat, screaming my lungs out. I placed my head between my knees and sobbed. I walked over to my purse shakily, fiddling around for something. There. The photo. In it were two girls, one brunette, the other raven-haired, and a blond boy. Same age, all happy and together. I turned the picture over. There was neat handwriting on it.
'Adelaide, Patience, and Gabriel at age 10'
I put the photo away as sobs took over my body. The sun was high into the sky by the time I had calmed down. I looked into the mirror. I looked horrible. I tried to wipe away the dried tears but gave up. I took a shower, letting the tears flow in the water. When I looked into the mirror, a memory flashed.
"Adds! Duck!" the brunette girl shouted as a water ballon whizzed by their heads. "Aww, no fair Pati! NO cheating!" the blond boy shouted playfully. It had always been that way. The jet-black haired girl could never pick sides, so they picked for her. "Come on Gabe! It's all in good fun!" the raven-haired girl shouted, smiling, throwing three water ballons at once at the boy. They all laughed. At only 10 years old, the siblings were closer than most siblings. Of course they had their fights, but they were best friends. Patience was unlike her name, causing her downfall. Gabriel was desperate for attention as the youngest, causing his downfall. The only survivor was Adelaide. She dyed her hair in honor of them and never gave up hopes in searching. She would find them. She vowed it.
I snapped back to reality, realizing I was still staring at the foggy mirror. I put it all behind me. That was the past. This is the present. They may be gone, but I'm not and neither is my hope. I got ready for the day and biked over to the Shack. I can't wait to see what'll happen today.
