Jason's POV
I drew in a nervous breath as the phone rang. It answered.
"Hey Brooke, its Jason… I was wondering how things were going. Are you there?" I said. All I heard in response were muffled sounds that sounded urgent. I freaked out.
"Brooke?! Is that you?! What's happening, where are you?! Don't worry, I'll-" the call ended. I ran over to the closet and grabbed my shoes. Dialing in Mitch's number, I quickly pressed call.
"Dood, I'm busy-" Mitch started.
"Sorry man, just wanna let you know that I'm going out. I don't know what time I'll be home, but uh, call me if you need me. Brooke's in trouble. Gotta go."
"Jason, wait-" I pressed end and rushed out to the garage. The car was gone. Shoot, that's right, they all carpooled together. Looks like I'm walking. Or running. But I have no idea where the heck I was going. I could maybe track the call? Maybe? I may know about computers, but I had no idea how to track calls. Even so, I was the one who called… wait, Tyler knows how to do this stuff. Ok, I'll go to Tyler. He doesn't live too far away, I can walk. (I don't actually know if they live close to each other or if Tyler knows how to do that stuff) Grabbing the house keys I walked out the front door and down the street towards Tyler's house.
20 Minutes later
I walked up to the front door and rang the door bell. Tyler answered the door.
"Hey Janson, wassup?"
"Man, ya gotta help me. Something happened to Brooke!" I said, freaking out. I almost ran here, but… I was tired so I didn't XD.
"Ok, ok. Calm down. Come inside." He said, bringing me into the living room.
"Ok, so explain."
"Well, I was gonna call Brooke and see-"
"Is Brooke the new girl you told me about?" He interrupted.
"Yes! Now listen! I was gonna ask Brooke if she wanted to come over and hang out, so-"
"Like, on a daaaaaate?" Tyler said, emphasizing the 'a'.
"Dude, what the?! NO! Man, I-ugh, just stop interrupting! Gawd, just listen! I just wanted to see if she wanted to hang out, and when I called she picked up, but all I heard was scared-sounding muffled sounds! I told her I was coming, but then the call ended. I have no idea where she is…" I said, putting my face in my hands.
"Hey dude, don't worry. Tyga can help. Gimme your phone." He said, standing up. I handed him my phone and followed him to the computer room. I sat down and waited.
An hour later!
"Alrighty. She's somewhere downtown… in some neiborhood called Sierra Rivers. (Idk if that neighborhood exists)
"Thanks Tyler." I said, giving him a bro-punch. I headed back out the front door and down the street. My phone started ringing. It was Mitch.
"Hey Mitch." I said, trying to sound casual.
"Hi Jason. Dood, we are home now… what happened with Brooke? Where are you? Ty will come pick you up, you gotta tell us what's happening."
Brooke's POV
Joshua.
Nicole's boyfriend… I felt tears well up. Nicole was my best friend in middle school and high school. She was my only friend, too.
/flashback/
"Hey Brooke! Josh and I are going for a walk tonight, wanna come?" Nikki asked. Her long brown hair was in a single braid, and she had on pale blue skinny jeans, combat boots, and a pretty top that had a floral pattern. (This is not an OC that was given to me, I made her up for my friend.)
"Sure Nikki! What time? Should I meet you at your house?" I replied, grabbing her hands and looking at her hazel eyes. Nikki was very sweet and funny. We both liked art and Minecraft, and we played piano together. We were going into 11th grade next year. She also had a boyfriend name Josh, he was nice, but I wasn't always too sure about him.
"Well, meet me at my house. 7:00?" She said, turning to head to her next class.
"7:00!" I shouted back. I looked over my shoulder to see a quick glare from Joshua, but he quickly turned away.
(That night)
We were walking on a trail near Nikki's house. It was around 7:45.
"Hey Josh, can we maybe head home? It's dark, and I'm pretty tired." Nikki said, looking at Josh.
"Ya, but I wanna do something first." He said. We followed him a little longer. We stopped on the top of a small hill. Josh hugged Nikki from behind, and I stood next to them.
"So, what did you want to do, Josh?" I prompted.
"This." He squeezed Nikki tighter and pulled out a sharp dagger from his pocket. He cupped his hand around her mouth and grabbed my arm and pushed me off the hill, and I tumbled down to the bottom. I quickly climbed back up, grabbing for rocks and weeds. It was dark, and I scraped myself multiple times. I reached the top. Josh stood there, waiting for me. Nikki lay on the ground, her back to me…completely silent.
"Now, Brooke, I know that your family and two others have a certain gem that I am looking for…" He smirked, knife in hand, and slowly walked towards me. I screamed and ran past him, and all the way back the rest of the trail. I could hear his heavy footsteps behind me, and I kept running. I reached the street and looked around. There was a nearby doughnut shop. I could get help there, right?" Sprinting for the shop, I yanked open the door and stopped, breathing heavily.
"Whoa, whoa, sweetie, what's wrong?" A man came up to me.
"He..h-he, Nikki… coming…" I panted. I drew in a deep breath and stood up straight.
"He killed her, and he's coming for me! Josh, he's coming! You have to help me…" I finished, collapsing on the floor. A woman grabbed her phone and dialed 911, and the cops arrived and searched for him. I told them what he looked like.
In30 minutes they had found him in an alley way messing with his knife, and they had picked up Nikki and brought her to the hospital. My dad came quickly and took me home.
That night when I went to visit Nikki, she passed away, her hand in mine. I would never forgive Josh…
The next week we went to court, and Joshua was found guilty of 1st degree murder. He was sentenced to jail for 4 years, and then… it was all done.
/flashback end/
My fear soon turned to anger. Which…turned to fury. Had it really been 4 years? What did he want now? I remembered what he had said to me on the trail that night. He said he was looking for a gem that me and two other families had… I didn't know what he was talking about, but I think I do now. My family, the Janners, and two other families… what were they, oh, the Gandders and the Bells, were given a gem. My great grandfather, and the two other men, Christopher Bells and John Gandder, were great friends with my great grandfather, Paul Janners. They all worked as miners, and, I guess they found these three diamonds or something. The mining company shut down, so, they kept the gems. One was blue one red, and another green. My family had the blue, The Gandders red, and the Bells green. Yup. My parents told that story to me when I was young, but I thought they always made it up… Apparently not.
The two girls next to me must have been the descendants of the Gandder and Bell families. My dad had a wooden box in his closet that he told me never to touch. I could only guess that that was where the diamond was…
About ten minutes later, I heard footsteps (that were probably Josh's) head over to another girl. It sounded like Dawn.
"Where is it?!"
"W-where is w-what?" She asked, stuttering.
"The diamond. Where is the diamond?!" He shouted.
"I-I don't know what your t-talking about." She stated, trying to sound strong.
"Wrong answer!" He shouted, and I heard another slap. Dawn squeaked, and then was silent.
"What about you, Radha?" I heard him sneer.
"I don't know where your precious 'diamond' is. Any my name is not Radha, its Kat." I heard a voice say sternly. That must be the girl with the black hair dyed green at the ends.
"Your Radha to me. I'll come back to you, sweet heart." He sneered, making me growl. I was just getting angrier as I thought more and more of what he did to Nikki.
"Now, Brooke, let me ask you again. Who is Jason? Oh, and one more thing… I think you know what I'm talking about. Where is the blue gem?!" He pulled down my gag and blindfold. I looked him in the eyes.
"You killed Nikki, and I will never forgive you." I snarled
"Oh, I'm so happy you remembered me! I thought you had forgotten…" He teased. Joshua caressed my cheek with his hand. I turned my head and bit hid wrist, making him yank it back. His icy eyes sparked with anger as he rubbed away the teeth marks.
"Too bad I didn't get to finish you off like I did Nikki." He muttered. He pulled the blindfold and gag back on, once again. I sighed into the cloth. I hope we get out of this alive…
Jason's POV
I was sitting on the couch with the guys in the TC house. Ian was using the restroom, but everyone else was there. I had told them what had happened, and what I planned to do. Well, I didn't actually plan anything…just more thought about it.
"I'll help you Jason, don't worry." Adam said, standing up. Ty stood up next to him.
"Me too dood."
"And us! You can't leave us out on an adventure like dis!" Mitch and Jerome shouted, standing up. I smiled, knowing I had great friends.
Ian came out from the bathroom.
"Wait, why are we all standing?"
Woo hoo! I didz it! I made a chappie that was sorta long…well like average, not sure. But still I made it. So, remember, R&R, because… well, I will stop the story… well, Orchid out! XD
