Chapter 9
Yet again it has been too long. But I have a reason, because I was waiting for more reviews-which I didn't get. Im not trying to sound bratty, but 15 people read this chapter and only 3 reviewed. I know it's not very popular, but I love reviews because it makes me feel appreciated. Anyway sorry for the rant, enjoy this chapter xx
Georgia's POV
"Let's start here." she said, and I felt her grip loosen as we had apparently arrived at our destination.
"Rosie, where in the name of all things hairy are we?"
She gave me an odd look and turned me round so I was looking in the same direction as her.
"This is not exactly where I expected to be looking for Dave.." I muttered to myself.
Rosie still had a death grip on my arm and I felt outraged that she thought I would run off like a wild thing!
Well that definitely wont happen because I don't run like a wild thing-I soar through the air like a dancer….
Well, I could if I had so extensive training. But alas, my father won't even pay for me to buy new shoes or make up. (Sniff, sniff) I will have to run around as a nudey dudey ugly girl. A bit like wet Lindsay. But if I saw her in the nude I think I would die….
And so would everyone else for that matter……apart from miss stamp who would enjoy the occasion and tear off her gym clothes with wild abandon!
Ewwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!
"Gee! Will you pay attention!" Rosie said as she shook me so violently that I feared I would loose my head!
"I would if you kept my ears attached to my head!" I joked, but she didn't seem to understand and looked at both sides of my head as if I really had lost my ears.
What has this world come to?
"I thought this would be a good place to start!" she said, and for the first time I noticed where we were….
"Tom's house?" why in the name of all things hairy would Dave be in toms house? Maybe for a spot of tea and biscuits?
Hahahaha jack the biscuit eating biscuits!! Hahahahahaha
I am the queen of humor! Maybe I should go on Broadway…..
"Yes toms' house. I have some news to tell you. But we have to go inside now before people think we are stalker-type-persons who are waiting to perv on the hunk that is tom!" then she laughed her evil laugh and started to drag me inside.
I never really thought of tom as hunky…and I would never have guessed that Rosie did either. But then again-compared to Sven he is like the hulk because Sven is really just a long thin Viking.
Like a twiglet….
Yes, Sven the Swedish twiglet.
Before Rosie could nock on the door tom had already appeared and dragged us through the door and up to his room.
I don't like where this is going…….
"Thanks for meeting us tom." Rosie said as we walked up the stairs.
"No problem. But just don't tell jas."
Goodness gracious! this has happened more than once? Blimey...
"I won't. She would never understand."
Am I missing something???
"Yer, but I hope she isn't getting suspicious."
Tom opened the door to his room and Rosie dragged me over to sit on the bed. She kicked off her shoes and fell back with a sigh.
"Im just gunna get you guys a drink and some of those biscuits you like and then we can do this."
Whaaaatt?
"Rosie..." I started, as tom left the room. "How long have you and tom been friends?"
She gave me a confused look that made her look like a pig. "5 years…."
"And..." I was struggling to say this out loud. "..How long have you and vole man been canoodling together!!"
"What?" she shrieked and I almost fell over because of the force of it. Then she stared wide eyed at me (she's turning into a vole more and more each day! that's exactly what he wants to happen! he wants another vole lady!)
"That is disgusting! Why would you think that? I am officially revolted!" she screamed.
"well, its just that, you said about meeting before-and he's taken you to his room before and he knows your favorite biscuits-"
"You know my favorite biscuits but im not sleeping with you!" she shouted, and now she was turning red. Oh dear…
"Yes but it just seemed like you two had a thing."
And as I finished tom walked through the door carrying a tray of orange juice and a bowl of jammy dodgers…mmmmmmmmm……
"Everything alright?" he asked, noticing the livid expression on rosies face.
"Georgia though that we were having an affair." she said through gritted teeth.
But before I could give an explanation, Mr Vole burst into laughter!
"Oh Georgia" he said as he tried to control himself "why on earth would you think that?"
"So you're not mad?"
"No, just confused and kind of disturbed. no offence Rosie but jas is my girl.."
"I just can't believe that you would think me so disloyal to Sven! We are Viking partners and I thought that as one of the gang you would understand that! He is my betrothed, and no offence tom, you couldn't live up to the standards required to be my husband."
"true." he said as he set down the tray and sat in a chair in the corner. "I don't know anyone who could eat that much fish in one go.." and I swear I saw him shudder at the thought.
"So remind me why I have been dragged up here?" I asked, I was desperate to go find Dave but sitting here eating biscuits and having a chat was not the way to do it.
"Well….I said I have some news for you.."
"Oh god! You were lying and you really are having an affair with tom and I am sitting on the bed you canoodled in!" I shouted, horrified.
"NO!" they both shouted at the same time and stared at me in disbelief. Well at least that's cleared up…
"We brought you up here because I wanted to tell you that tom can also see Dave and I didn't want you to be on the streets if you fainted again."
But this time I didn't faint. I just sat there and tried to remember to breathe. Another surprise! Great! Im starting to hate surprises!!
"Are you ok Georgia? Please say something." tom said, sounding worried.
"So im officially not as mad as I thought I was?" I asked them both.
"yes." said Rosie, and then she hugged me tightly. "Now we have to go find Dave, and I think I have a few ideas of where he might be…"
Well that makes one of us.
"Let's start off at the obvious place and go from there."
"Ummm, not to burst your highly intelligent bubble roro, but where would be the obvious place for a GHOST to HIDE?"
She looked at me like I had eaten one of vole mans socks and tutted (tutted!) while shaking her head.
"My dearest pally of all my pals, this is Dave we are talking about. There are some things that you should really know about him. Especially where he is most likely to hang out."
She did have a point. But he is no longer the same Dave that I knew. He is a ghost who likes to drive cars like a mad-man and who goes all pink at the sight of nunga-nungas! Nunga-nungas! Dave the laugh has a phobia of nunga-nungas!
I never thought I would see the day…..
It seemed I had been out of the conversation when it was most vital because when I looked around I saw tom going down the stairs and heard Rosie shout "HURRY UP GEE! TIMES WAITS FOR NO PANTS!"
She had that right…..
about a million years later-after treading in dog poo and being followed by creepy old men (who looked like a scarier and more wrinkly version of my granddad..) and
Getting lost in a sea of pigeons (they descended on us from above!) we made it to the graveyard where we started looking for Dave.
"Ok, you take the far end tom while me and gee look up here."
I would have argued that I would be fine by myself but the idea of walking round a graveyard by myself when the dead love-of-my-life was missing just made me want to faint.
It was starting to get cloudy and dark so I just wanted to get out of here as fast as possible.
"Dave………" I said, attempting to be louder, but older people were sitting by graves and I didn't want to disturb them.
"Oh hornmeister!!!" Rosie just didn't know how to be quiet around dead people…
We couldn't find him anywhere and we even tried closing our eyes and calling out his name in our heads. But it was not as easy as it sounded and we gave up after a while. Well…..I was determined to keep going but Rosie was starting to sound like a constipated pig and I was feeling ill at the sound she created.
"He isn't down the end. Have you had any luck?"
"No……he is not responding to our calls." said Rosie.
"Well maybe we should check somewhere else now as you are having no luck." said tom. Always the smart one. If only I was so lucky…
So off we went. On a further quest to find the hidden ghost that is Dave the laugh. But we didn't have any luck. we checked the park and the football field as well as the cinema (we got kicked out for trying to summon him from behind the projector, and Rosie climbed over a lady because she thought she saw him hiding behind her.) and even the sweet shop. But he wasn't there. Our last place to check was his mum and dads house, but I was a bit nervous to go there.
"We won't go inside gee." tom assured me for the millionth time.
"Then how will we find him??"
"Well he could be outside. I don't think he would want to go in and see them, it would hurt him too much." said tom.
He was right though. If I was dead the last people I would want to see would be my family. I would hate to see my sister crying because I was gone. And the mess she would have created in my room, and my mother and vati snogging in the lounge. I don't think I could bare it!
After a long search we decided he wouldn't be there and we went home. Tom said he would keep a look out and he would tell us if he came over, because apparently while I was asleep or when he disappeared, he would go to toms' house and even Rosies!!!
But at least that gave him something to do, and he wouldn't have to hear me snore……not that I snore…..
Very loudly…
Only when I have a cold.
Which isn't very often.
So I don't really snore….
When I got home I went straight to bed not caring to inform my mother or father that I had arrived home. They probably wouldn't have noticed I had gone. But maybe the school informed them that I had 'run away'. Ho-hum-pigs-bum.
I hope he comes back soon. Because im really starting to miss him, and I never really got a chance to say goodbye. Maybe if I sleep well enough then I will wake up and it will all be a dream…..
Oh will he ever return??
Hope you enjoyed that chapter and pleeeeeease review. Im going on holiday in 2 days so the next chapter won't be up until I get back. Sorry it was sooo late but thank you for being patient.
