AIMEE POV
"So Jason was doing this retarded thing he always does on CUTR, going like I have to go my cell's ringing. But what was weird was his cell really didring. And on the other line apparently it was "Quil"..." I rambled. I could tell that Cer..ETTY wasn't paying attention any more, but I was use to that. Liz, on the other hand was strangely still focused, and interrupting me with question every once in a while. I was going to get along with this girl.
Suddenly, Anah burst out laughing. I had a feeling it had to with her evil plan to make Etty blush until she exploded from the heat. I sighed and said, annoyed, "What's so funny, Anah?"
Anah was chortling too hard to form a complete sentence. "... Cereal"-uncontrolled giggles-"blush"-laughter- "I was only smiling!" She clutched her sides, shaking.
I rolled my eyes. Why must Anah always freak people out by smiling at them? "Oh," It was scary enough when she glared, but when she smiled…I chuckled. I understood why Etty's face was scarlet now. "Yeah, I noticed."
Anah finally calmed down. Her face was flushed from laughing, her eyes still making fun of Etty. Etty turned away, trying to hide the deep crimson that still stained her face.
I rolled her eyes, and patted Etty on the sholder. "Ignore her, Etty. She can be..." There was not a word in the English language to describe Anah, but that still didn't stop me from trying once in a while. Finally, I gave up and said "Well... She can be Anah." I smiled apologetically.
She nodded a bit, muttering "S'ok,"
I was going to try to comfort her more, but Anah was not recoved from her laughing fit, and she interrupted with a, "So, Wanna go see where the hell Jason is?" Her grin was cocky.
"Sure!" Liz said enthusiastically. Was this girl a clone of me, or what?
"So let's go, I guess?" I half-said half-asked, raising an eyebrow at Anah. The 'I guess' was said sarcastically, mostly aimed at Anah. "Behave yourself," I murmured to her. Anah only rolled her eyes impatiently in response.
"Let's go," Etty muttered. I could tell that Anah hadn't made the best impression in the world.
"Come on," I said, glaring at Anah as I stood up. "I'll drive. Anah, you try his cell." Trying to distract her from tormenting Etty any more.
"Wait a second!" Liz suddenly exclaimed, although she kept walking towards the door with us. "You have a car?" she asked, suspicious.
"Yeah," I answered raising an eyebrow. "It's the red Acura RL right outside. Why?"
"You mean that you guys are actually over 16, like you say you are?" she asked.
I was deeply confused. "Yes, we're over 16. I just turned 18, actually." I told her. "Why?"
Liz shook her head, and continued to follow us to my car. "I was just wondering, because Anah looks our age, and you look younger than 18, Aimee"
"Hey!" Anah cried, indignantly, "I'm not short, I'm fun sized!"
"More like ankle-biter sized" I muttered, snorting a laugh. Anah glared at me for a second before losing interest and pulling out her cell phone to dial Jason.
"The line's busy." She said after a few seconds.
I absently unlocked the car and got in. "Who on earth could Jason be talking to?"
Etty and Liz sat in the back after putting their bikes in the trunk, and Anah sat shotgun. "No guesses here." Anah sighed.
"Let's check the playhouse first. I'm pretty sure they're doing an open improve activity today, that seems like something Jason might run off to do." I suggested, pulling out of the parking lot.
---Time Skip---
After a full 5 hours of searching. We came up with nothing. Actually, we came up with a bit more than nothing. When we checked his house, a bunch of Jason's clothes and his laptop were missing, and there was a note for his parents taped to the fridge saying he went to visit his brother at Colombia. We called him brother when we called it, and came up with nothing. But John said he'd call if Jason turned up in New York.
I signed into CUTR to see if I might find Jason there. To my luck, he was on, and he had created a new topic:
Pack Chat: Aimee, Anah, and anyone else not in the pack keep out!
I rolled my eyes. Jason still doesn't seem to get that "Keep Out" signs make you want to go in more. Glad that the forum didn't tell you who was viewing the page, I opened to the topic, and noticed that they were just starting to post.
Quil's Bud: Okay guys, I finally got away from Aimee. You guys have a LOT of explaining to do! And you better make it quick cause my flight leaves in an hour.
Jake: Quil's an idiot, there's your explanation.
IhateJake1220: Hey! That's my line!
I read Jake's post a few more times. What does the fact that the person who goes by Quil on our forum is an idiot have to do with the fact that Jason's on a plane? But I noted three more posts, so I continued reading.
Quil: I kind of explained already, but, I guess filling everyone else in couldn't hurt. You know when Edward and Bella were down in Jacksonville to visit Renee and Alice tagged along. Well Jason lives there too and so Alice had this vision about what's going to happen, so she slipped plane tickets into his pocket.
PaulRocks728: Wait up a minute, are you telling me that that psychic leech had a vision about one of us? Is that even possible?
ShoppingPixie360: Hello, that "Psychic leech" is right here!
IhateJake1220: Oh Joy, the great Cullen
Quil's Bud: And I still haven't yet, so I guess so.
Hold up. What? What was he going to do that he hasn't yet? I lost all control and posted.
ShakespeareFreakazoid: Um, excuse me? WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT???? Anah and I have been searching all over town for you! And we called your cell like, 7 times! And why are all your clothes gone from your room (Yes, we searched there too)
IhateJake1220: Hey, Aims! Way to stick your nose in where it doesn't belong! Oh, and before I go, I'd just like to say that it was all Quil's fault!!
Quil:Um, Aimee, Doesn't that topic say you're supposed to keep out?
Jake:Hey, Aimee. You doing ok?
PaulRocks728:…Is Aimee suppose to be here? Oh, whatever. I'm leaving.
ShoppingPixie360: Hey guys, cut her some slack. She's about to explain!
I laughed at the fact that Jake was the only one who had posted normally. He hadn't really like me when he first joined the forum (He thought I was just an obsessive Jake fangirl), but as we talked some, and he practically became my 4th best friend (After Lindsey, Jason, and Anah). Jason was taking forever to type his explanation, so I answered the posts that everyone has made in the meantime.
ShakespeareFreakazoid: Hey, Everyone! Leah, Quil, Paul, do you guys know nothing about me? Of course I'm here when it says "Keep Out". In fact, that's the only reason I clicked.
Hi, Jake. I'm fine, other than Jason mysteriously disappearing on us today. That freaked me out a bit. You?
Quil:*Rolls eyes*
IhateJake1220: *Growls and stomps away*
Jake:I'm good. It seems as though I'm finally going to get to meet one of you guys, so I'm happy.
I didn't have time to ponder what Jake had meant by that, because Jason finally posted a few seconds later.
Quil's Bud: Um. Yes Aimee. I ran away. Yes I have plane tickets. Yes I'm going to leave for the Airport in about 10 minutes. Um. Yes… the, 'I haven't yet'… I'm going to become a werewolf… and phase… uhh… today. Oh, and No, I'm not telling you where I am.
Miss Werewolf:Crazy boy say what now?
ShakespeareFreakzoid:Good, I'm not this only one who thinks that that's the most insane thing that Jason's ever said, in RL or on the forum.
Quil's Bud: Guy's it's true, You've gotta listen!
Quil:Guys, I hate to break it to you, but it is true.
Jake:Yup.
ShakespeareFreakazoid: Yeah, sure. And you two are going to tell us that you're actually Quil and Jake, right? Sure. Jason, if you're not back in the next half hour, I'm calling your parents.
My eyebrows raised into the ceiling. I didn't care that Jason obviously believed that they were who they said they were, I immediately blocked the two people who claimed to be "Quil" and "Jake" from the forum.
Quil's Bud: Guys, you're ticking me off. I'M GONNA BE A FREAKING WEREWOLF!
ShakespeareFreakazoid: Jason…
Quil's bud: NO! OKAY?!YOU GUYS AREN'T LISTENING! YOU NEVER LISTEN! NOONE EVER LISTENS!
ShakespeareFreakazoid: JASON!
Miss Werewolf: Listen to Aimee!
Quil's Bud: BYE! I'M LEAVING!
Quil's Bud: Hey guys, look. Now you had BETTER believe me, cause I just phased!
Miss Werewolf:You,WHAT NOW!?
Quil's Bud: LOOK! I TURNED INTO A GIANT WOLF! YOU WANT PROOF! THERE YA GO!
Miss Werewolf:Jason, all that's proof of is that you're obviously on crack. Twilight does not ** exist!!!
Quil's Bud: Are you serious? Me? On DRUGS? ME!? YOU GUYS KNOW ME BETTER THAN THAT! YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME!
Suddenly, my cell phone rang. I close to screamed when I saw that it was a 360 number. They knew my cell phone number too???? "Calm down, Aimee." I told myself. "Don't have a panic attack. Maybe it's just a fluke."
I cautiously answered. "H-Hello?" I stuttered.
"Is this Aimee?" A girl's high pitched voice asked me. That eliminated my whole 'Fluke' idea.
"No, this is umm…" I thought on my feet. I couldn't very well tell him that I was Aimee. "Melanie. I know an Aimee, though."'Real smooth, Aimee. Now he knows you're lying'
"Well, Melanie. Would you mind telling Aimee that what she thinks is a lie is real?"
I pulled one of those numbers where you pull the phone away from your head and look at it, as if you could see the person talking. I know it was cliché, but it's almost like a reflex.
"Hello? Hello? A- I mean, Melanie? Are you there?" I heard coming from the phone.
I slowly put the phone back to my ear. "Who are you?" I asked, using half my energy to keep my voice even and free of fear.
"Alice. Alice Cullen. And before you hang up, check you jacket pocket."
'How did she know I was about to hang up? Unless…' I pushed the thought out of my mind and grabbed my jacket off the bed post. To my utter shock, there were two tickets in my pocket. I read the one on top.
Round Trip Ticket: First Class, Seat 1A.Jacksonville to Seattle.
"If you think I'm falling into your little plot to kidnap us, you're greatly mistaken. I'm calling the cops on you guys."
"Aimee, stop thinking with your head and listen to your heart. You know this isn't some trick."
Surprisingly, I did what she said. There always had been something about the books…Something that seemed almost real about the story.
"Fine, I'll give you one shot. Nobody touches Me or Anah when we land, and we get calls from Jason every half hour after he lands. If you so much as harm one hair on his head, I'm calling the cops. Jason will pick us up from the airport. I don't care if someone else comes, but he'd better be there, and in perfect health. You got that?" It's not as if they can very well kidnap us in a crowded airport. Security will be on them before they can say 'Oops'. And, well…they were first class.
"Agreed, but how will that work whilst you are on a plane?" she asked. Damn it. I didn't think about that.
An idea popped into my head. "That's what Skype is for."
"Okie Dokie then," 'Alice' answered. "I'll tell Jason to call you at his next connection in Denver, which lands in a half hour. Your flight leaves in an hour, By the way. See you soon!"
I hung up without saying goodbye, and checked the forum. Jason and Anah were having some random argument, I'm not even completely sure whether it was about the fact that he was a werewolf or not. I didn't bother to more than skim it before posting.
ShakespeareFreakazoid:Jason, I just talked to "Alice" on the phone. She left tickets in my pocket to. I still don't believe you, but Anah and I are coming after you. In case "Alice" Doesn't relay the information to you, I expect Skype calls from you every half hour. Oh, and you call me the second your plane stops in Denver, you got that?
Miss Werewolf: We're doing WHAT, now?
