The following day, Jake had woken Sherry up early to go out on their date. She was beginning to hate these early mornings, but knowing that she was going out with Jake was enough to wake her up and keep her complaining at bay.
Besides, Jake had given her enough time to drink some watered-down Iced tea and a scone, so she was pretty ready for the day.
What she hadn't said to Jake was that today was a bad day, though when Jake wasn't looking, she had switched the labels on her normal boosters with her bad day boosters so Jake wouldn't notice. She didn't want to tell him, as - knowing him - he'd cancel the day and order Sherry to stay in bed, which she was swiftly getting sick of being confined to.
The usual occurrence was that Sherry would feel fine for maybe 2 hours after taking the shot, then she'd get awfully tired.
Because Sherry only really had about 2 hours to enjoy her date, she was quite anxious to get to where ever Jake was bringing her. He wouldn't tell her where though. In fact, Jake looked lost. They were driving through a quiet street with plenty of houses at each side, and Sherry was sure Jake was most definitely lost.
"Are we there yet?" Sherry asked, for the 4th time.
"Uh.. i think." Jake said, sounding unsure and he threw a confused look at a GPS on his phone every so often. Sherry watched him, and saw how he read the numbers on each door extremely closely.
"Are we.. visiting someone?" she asked.
"Ohh, it was number 34.." he mumbled to himself, looking at a house in the distance. "yeah, were here." he said, pulling up in front of the house.
Getting out of the car, Sherry could hear a dog in the distance barking, and saw kids down the street cycling down the paths. It was actually a really nice area, but Sherry was pretty sure she didn't know anybody here. Maybe one of Jake's friends?
"What do you think?" asked Jake, who was looking up at the house, analyzing all of its features.
Sherry looked up to see a fairly big house on top of a slightly raised hill, with a garage to the far right of it, which had a path that lead down to Jake and Sherry's car. It had a stone wall around it and fairly big black gates located to the far right where the path led up to the garage, then a smaller gate in the center that lead up to the entrance of the home.
The door was wooden but had stained glass at either side of it in red and blue, which Sherry had to admit, looked gorgeous. It had a porch in the front with a small sub-roof over it, held up with - from what Sherry could see - 4 white pillars. It had 2 stories and had 2 windows at the far right and left of the second floor, with a large window in the dead center. On the left side of the house, Sherry could also just barely make out a small alcove that had windows paneled all around it, showing off a dining table.
The front garden wasn't too big, though, judging from a large tree Sherry could see just barely visible from the street, the back garden must of more than made up for the fronts size.
Overall, the house was in a very friendly neighborhood and was pretty big, something that nearly even reminded her of her house back in Raccoon - though, that house was a little smaller, and had a large front garden.
"Its really nice actually, but who lives here?" she asked, unable to take her eyes away from the gorgeous and eye catching stained glass.
"Us if we want." he said with a chuckle.
Sherry threw Jake a rather confused look and walked up to the house with him. "What does that mean?"
Jake jerked his head to the right, motioning towards a 'For Sale' sign that Sherry had looked over, and blushed deeply.
"A-.. woah woah, we can't afford to just go buy a house like this Jake! Its huge and in a nice neighborhood, its probably way too expensive!" she argued.
"I like how you never asked about the money i got for the mission." he laughed and wrapped an arm around her, letting his hands rest on her stomach. "I got paid pretty well for it, by the way." he continued.
"But Jake i-"
Sherry was interrupted by the sound of the door opening and a brown haired woman stepping out and walking towards them.
"Ah, Mr and Mrs Muller! Jake i believe? we spoke on the phone last night?" she asked Jake, shaking both Sherry and Jake's hands. For some reason, she didn't look fazed by Jake's scar or slightly intimidating height - Sherry was silently thankful for that, people usually felt intimidated by it and were usually a little short with him as a result.
"Yeah that's me, and this is Sherry. Are you showing us around today?" he asked the upbeat looking woman.
"I sure am! My names Anna by the way." she happily beamed, readjusting some pages on a clip board she held tightly. "Are we ready then?" she asked, already turning her heel to walk up to the house.
Jake gave Sherry a quick wink and all she could do was shake her head and laugh it off. She was sure whatever Jake made wouldn't come close to buying a house like this, so she supposed it didn't hurt in looking.
Sherry gasped upon entering the home, walking into the spacious hall, with a stairs to her right and a chandelier hanging from the second floors roof. From what she saw, the room that's door as at the end of the stairs led into a sitting room, and from her left, it seemed empty.
Sherry was too busy trying to peak into the sitting room to notice how Jake watched her with a huge grin - he always loved seeing Sherry excited, it made his stomach feel like it had butterflies in it and gave him the urge to wrap his arms around her and never let go.
"So in here we have the kitchen, recently remodeled with the addition of the alcove." she said, walking into the kitchen, expecting them to follow.
Sherry was in a trance staring at the stairs and chandelier that she hadn't even heard her, and was jolted back to reality when she felt Jake wrap an arm around her waist and tow her to the kitchen, that's entrance was located just behind the stairs.
As they walked in, what hit Sherry immediately was the gorgeous palette of the kitchen - soft blue and cream.
The furnishing in the kitchen was very antique styled - like a farm house kitchen - which she had to admit, she loved. The sink had a wide window just above it, which gave a perfect view of the Garden which, which Sherry guessed, was very big. There was a large american fridge freezer directly behind the sink, and had a black-countered island between them with a chopping board section built into it, which Sherry internally squealed at, since her chopping board was always missing when she needed it.
The kitchen also opened up to the mentioned Alcove, that was the kitchens main source of light as there were nothing but windows inside it. It had a large table located in it, that could easily seat 10 people. Perfect for when Chris, Jill, Leon, Claire and the others visit.. if we got this house, anyway.
Sherry walked into the alcove, smiling at how there was plenty of room to move around, and the lovely view of the garden from it. She also spotted that just above the glass doorway into the alcove, there were high-up wine racks that were surprisingly - fully stocked with red and white wines.
When Sherry looked over to Jake though, he was looking in cabinets and testing how sturdy the shelves were, something Sherry couldn't help but giggle at. Jake glanced over to her, winking at her giggles. So he wants sturdy cabinets in a home, good to know.
Meanwhile, Anna had leaned against the island and was shuffling through papers as the couple explored the finer details of the kitchen. Eventually, when Jake and Sherry had finished analyzing it, she led them into the sitting room.
It was separated from the kitchen by an arc way, and the couple found it was pretty spacious, and was the room that's entrance was located at the end of the stairs. It had a white marble fireplace, with a black widescreen located above it on the mantle. on the right side of the mantle piece, was a grand black piano that was wedged neatly between the fireplace and window that Sherry and Jake had seen from the street.
The large L shaped chocolate-coloured couch that was pushed against the wall looked incredibly comfortable, and had at least 7 large pillows littered around it. Feeling too shy to actually sit on it, she decided to go look at the beautiful piano. She lightly brushes her fingers on the exposed pianos when she heard a soft Poomf from behind her.
She turned around to see Jake had fallen on the couch, in between 2 fluffy pillows and smirked at Sherry's less than impressed face. He simply stretched on the couch getting comfortable on it, despite Sherry's clear anger. "The chimney was cleaned about 2 weeks ago, so you two wouldn't have to worry about that." she said as she wrote something on a page on her all important clip board, giggling at Jake's playful smile at Sherry, trying to get her to stop frowning at him.
"Its such a gorgeous house." said Sherry, still mesmerized by the beautiful piano. "How is this even for sale?" she asked
"Well, the family that lived here - Mr. Robinson and his wife and 3 daughters - moved at Washington DC as he got a job in a court up there about 4 weeks ago. All the furniture you see in the house also comes with the house as the Robinson's were unable to bring it with them."
Sherry nodded and internally sighed, knowing all the gorgeous furniture probably bumped up the price by a good bit. Come on Sherry, this is just Jake wanting to look at houses with no actual concept of realism. You always knew this was way out of your league, price wise anyway, just nod along and pretend to be interested in buying.
Anna walked out into the hall that they had come into first, and lazily pointed towards the spare room across the hall. "In there was the girls playroom, and the family took all there toys with them, so its a spare room for now." Jake and Sherry nodded, neither making a move to see it, since the wide open door gave a good indication of its size.
Pointing towards the North-west of the hall, Sherry noticed about 3 doors leading to different rooms and 1 door with more stained glass that clearly led straight outside. "Behind that door is another spare room, as far as i know Mrs Robinson used it as an office, so there are a few bookshelves still in there. The other 2 doors lead to a small washroom and bathroom." she listed off, directing her attention to the stairs and hurriedly walking up steps as soon as she finished explaining.
Jake and Sherry followed her, both of them admiring the large hanging chandelier on the way up, and the magnificent sparkle off of the crystal. Even with the lights turned off, it still reflected the sunshine from outside in a gorgeous and eye-catching way. "Hey, if you don't get the place, we should buy one of those for the apartment.* mumbled Sherry with a smirk. Jake couldn't help but chuckle at her. "Sure, even though it'd probably cost more than rent for 4 months."
"Up here, there's the master bed room - complete with a bathroom suite - and 3 bedrooms, 1 with a bathroom."
Wow, 3 bedrooms. Sherry and Jake both nodded, following Anna as she led them to the left of the top of the stairs. Sherry saw that the door at the top of the stairs was the bathroom - as it had a cute little silver sign on the door which said so. Taking a sharp left, they passed 1 bedroom door and walked towards another at the end of the hall. Directly in front of Sherry on Jake was a huge window that went from the floor to the ceiling, and allowed light to poor into the hall, and gave the couple a lovely view of the neighborhood, and what looked like a town in the distance.
Walking through the last door in the hall, they stepped into a huge bedroom - they guessed it was the master.
On a raised piece of ground at the back of the room, was a king sized bed - though no matrice. In front of the bed and raised ground it was on, there were also 2 old looking chairs that sat facing a wall, though there wasn't anything imparticular it was facing. Sherry guessed it was facing a TV that the Robinson's had decided to take with them.
Anna walked over to the right side of the room, where there 2 doors. Opening the first, it revealed a spacious closet, complete with a small bench in the middle of it, and 2 full length mirrors. Sherry had to gasp at how big it was, and even squealed at the spot lights that illuminated the shoe racks and mirrors. Jake simply rolled his eyes at Sherry's excitement. "Women." he mumbled.
Sherry slapped him on the arm, which just made Jake chuckle. Okay.. I have to admit the closet is selling the house to me single-handedly.
"The wardrobe is pretty nice huh?" Anna questioned, laughing at Sherry's clear excitement. Sherry eagerly nodded and ran into it, opening the closed doors of the few cabinets, internally thinking she could put her scarves, shirts and underwear at one side, and Jake's at the other.
Seeing how Sherry was obviously distracted, Anna directed Jake's attention to the second door, which was the bathroom suite.
He whistled at how big it was - and it was a lot bigger than the one back at Sherry's apartment. It had a toilet, 2 sinks in a black marble counter, with a large mirror over the two, His and Hers towels at either side, a spacious shower and a large bath with jets in the middle of it all, on a raised piece of floor.
"The bathroom lights are on a timer - after 5 during the winter and after 8 in the summer, the lights will automatically turn on when the door is opened, but there's a manual on how to disable all that - if that's what you want." she said, double checking what she had said was right with her clip boards notes.
Jake was looking at the spacious shower when he heard Sherry gasp behind him. "Oh my god, look at the size of this bathroom!" she couldn't help but giggle at how hopelessly she was falling in love with the house, and didn't have the heart to remind herself that they probably weren't going to get it. Damn you Jake, showing me the perfect house, and its probably ridiculously overpriced!
"Would you like to see the other bedrooms?" asked Anna, looking quite pleased with the couples reactions.
"Yeah! come on Jake!" Said Sherry, practically buzzing with excitement now to see the other rooms. "Geez, you really want this house, huh?" Jake asked, shaking his head with a smile at Sherry's attitude - it reminded him of a hyper 4 year old.
"Yeah, i really do." she said with a soft smile. Too bad if we actually bought it, we'd be paying it off for the next 40 years.
"Shit." Jake mumbled, stumbling over a carpet in the bathroom, which Sherry laughed at. "See? you're excited too!"
"Why don't you go look at the bedrooms? i'll be there in a minute, i actually need to use the bathroom." he said with a chuckle.
Sherry scoffed. "Alright, i'll be in the room next door." she said, walking out of the room and making a beeline for the room next door.
Anna was about to step out of the bathroom but Jake caught her by the arm. "I was just trying to get her out, can we talk for a minute?"
Anna nodded at him. "Of course."
Sherry was happily walking in and out of rooms upstairs. The room next door to her possible bedroom had a window that gave a great view of the back garden, and was pretty well shaded by the large oak tree she had seen from the street. A perfect nursery. she mused
Walking into the bathroom, Sherry had to hum in approval at the large bath that could of easily accommodated 4 people, and the Shower that had a huge shower head hanging directly over the shower, rather than at an angle, much like the one in the master. Now that's a shower i would jump out of bed in the mornings to get into.
Sherry was now very much in love with the house, and if it really did take 40 years to pay off, Sherry silently decided that that wouldn't be the worst thing. Walking further down the hall, she saw that the other 2 bedroom's were actually connected, being separated by a large closet and bathroom suit, that you could walk through either into the next room. A perfect room for siblings to share actually.
Guessing from the pink painted walls in one bedroom, and the purple painted walls in the other, it was previously occupied by the 2 girls of the previous family, and that the room Sherry had dubbed the nursery room was the 3rd girls bedroom.
Noticing how she was growing tired, and just a little impatient with waiting for Jake to get out of the bathroom - she walked out and back into the master bedroom.
"Jake, come on i-" Sherry was cut off when she realized the room was completely vacant, and felt a bit silly talking to herself.
Walking out of the room, trying to listen for any noise in the house, she heard voices downstairs - Anna's soft voice and Jake's more bold voice coming from the sitting room at the end of the stairs.
Walking down the stairs she heard them grow a little more quiet and when she walked in, she noticed Jake was reading over some papers.
Before she got the chance, Jake spoke up. "Sherry, do you want to put our names down for the house?" he asked.
Sherry took a few minutes to process Jake's words. "Put our names down?"
"There's a different couple looking at the house, and they've proposed $100,000."
Sherry nearly gasped at the price, and felt her heart sink. "And how much would we have to put down to match them?" asked Jake, looking quite determined.
"The Robinson's asking price is $110,000, so if you put down that much, the couple can either choose to go higher or it will be sold to you."
Jake nodded and looked back down to the papers, becoming quickly engrossed in whatever they said.
Meanwhile, Sherry felt like someone had just reached into her chest and ripped out her heart. The house was absolutely perfect and it was everything Sherry dreamed of in a house; It was in a great neighborhood, plenty of trees and flowers, families everywhere, little traffic, a huge back garden, spacious bedrooms, a luxurious closet - it had everything she wanted and more than she needed.
"Okay, put our names down anyway.. we'll have to think about it and see what we work out mortgage and saving wise." said Sherry weakly, trying not to sound too disappointed in the price.
"Can i keep these?" Jake asked, holding up the papers he was reading, and Anna nodded at him. "Of course." Anna reached into her pocket and pulled out a small business card. "When you 2 reach a decision, please call me on that number. I'll keep your names on the list for the next 2 weeks, but if i don't hear back from you 2 by then, it'll have to be taken off, and the house will be sold." she said.
Jake turned over the card in his hand a few times and stuffed it into his pocket, and shook Anna's hand. "Thank you, we'll get back to you before then, and you have my number, let me know if there are any other changes." Sherry shuffled over to Anna and - mustering all of her energy - shook her hand and smiled. "Thank you so much for showing us around."
Anna bowed her head slightly. "Not a problem Mrs Muller! i wish you two luck with the house."
They both nodded and waved, walking out of the house, down the lane and hoping into the car. Sherry yawned, but Jake hadn't noticed. Thank god.
"I think we can do this Sherry." Jake said, starting up the car and pulling away from the sidewalk.
"Jake.. its a lot of m-"
"Okay okay, how much do you have in savings?" Jake butted in.
Sherry glanced out the window, toting up the numbers in her head. "About 10,000 i think?" she said.
Jake nodded. "Okay, i have 34,000." he said with a smile. Sherry scoffed. "No you don't! i know for a fact that you-"
"Had a mission that lasted 2 months and i got paid generously for it, and was compensated for my arm." he said, wiggling the injured arm and smirking at her.
"Wow, you got that much?" she asked, in disbelief.
"Yeah, plus.. i sold moms house." he said, no longer looking at her, but rather focusing on the road.
The car was silent for a few minutes. Jake's mother had died a few months before she had even met him, and he had always told Sherry that once everything was sorted, he'd go back and live there. That was, until him and Sherry had completely fallen for each other, and Jake had surprisingly fallen in love with New York and Sherry's apartment.
"The house was worth 20,000, but the woman i spoke on the phone just had a baby and her husband died, so i gave it to her for 12,000, its.. its what mom would of wanted." he said a little quieter now. Sherry reached out and brushes her fingers over his injured arm, trying to silently reassure him that she was there and that he didn't have to be afraid to let it out.
"I sold my Harley Davidson too, plus a few spare parts for it, so that's another 18,000 on top of the 34,000 in savings."
He loved that bike.. Sherry nodded slowly, feeling the tension slowly melt away and get back to the point of money. "Okay.. so that's about 62,000 or so?"
Jake nodded. "We can just get a mortgage for the rest, and use our weekly paychecks for furniture, paint, and everything else we need."
Sherry smiled softly. "I guess its decided then, we're really doing this."
"We're growing up." said Jake, attempting to lighten the mood he knew he had tensed.
Sherry giggled. "I think we were growing up when we got married and i got pregnant."
Jake shrugged. "My point stands."
Sherry shook her head. "Men."
Jake had taken Sherry out to lunch in a Starbucks in the town that Sherry had seen from their - hopefully - new home. She had found that the residential neighborhood was called Cherrygrove Lane and that the town itself was called Riverview, which Sherry thought was the cutest thing ever.
Jake had ordered Sherry a bottle of water and a sandwich, while he ordered a black coffee for himself. She ate her sandwich in relative silence, though her thoughts were running wild. Sherry had taken a liking to repeating her hopeful address over and over in her head.
Sherry and Jake Muller, 35 Cherrygrove Lane, Riverview, New York.. I don't think we'll do anything to the kitchen.. sitting room needs a new coat of paint, as do all the rooms upstairs. We need 2 new chairs for our bedroom, as well as a matrice, and some rugs- oh my gosh, we need so much stuff for the nursery! We don't even have a crib! what will we even paint the walls? maybe a soft pink and blue? then we can just buy all white furniture and-
"Helloooo? you there Supergirl?" asked Jake, smirking at a day dreaming Sherry who had lost all interest in her half eaten sandwich.
"Huh?" asked Sherry, looking as if she was completely lost, but then snapped back into reality. "Oh. Hey." she said with a giggle. "Sorry, i'm distracted!"
Jake nodded and took out a few folded up papers from his pocket, and handed them to Sherry. "Those are some details on the house, it has WiFi, has a preschool near by, about an hours drive to the DSO and the neighborhood is majorly safe." he said
Sherry giggled. "It sounds too good to be true."
"Well fight for the house if we need to." he said, playfully winking.
"What, you'll go to the other couples house and threaten to beat them up if they get the house?" she said, laughing at how realistic that scene would be.
"Well, i meant metaphorically, but that'd work."
Sherry laughed and finished her sandwich.
Jake sipped on his coffee and looked around himself as Sherry finished up reading the details on the house, admiring how friendly everyone was, and how nice the town was, very lively and probably the perfect place to start a family.
"Hey Supergirl, why don't w-"
Jake was cut off by the ringing of his phone and flipped open the phones cover, seeing Leon K calling.. on the screen. Sliding his finger on the screen, he answered, putting it on loudspeaker but keeping the volume low, so only Sherry and Jake could hear.
"Hey Jake, how did the house look?"
"Fantastic, better than you made it out to be actually." Jake replied, smiling at how mildly surprised Sherry looked.
"Awesome, how did Sherry like it?"
"I loved it Leon! you should be a realtor!" she said, giggling at the phone.
Both Sherry and Jake heard chuckling on the other end of the phone from Leon. "Maybe someday Sherry. So listen, i was wondering could i borrow Jake for the evening?"
Sherry looked at Jake who seemed curious. "Whats up Leon?" Jake asked.
"Its Tony's birthday tonight and he's having a few of the BSAA and DOS guys down to the regular bar down on Mulberry Avenue around 8 - mainly just the guys who go to the Gym, interested?"
Sherry mildly recognized the name Tony - he had been to Sherry and Jake's apartment. He was much like Leon, always out on missions. He was quite polite to Sherry and Jake really liked him, but rarely saw him. It was with that, that Sherry decided that Jake should go.
Sherry smiled and nodded and Jake, giving him the go ahead and he smiled back. "Sure, i'll be there."
"Alright, want me to pick you up?"
"That'd be great."
"Alright Jake, i'll let you two go then, see you guys later."
"Bye Leon." Sherry said, smiling.
"Are you sure you don't mind?" Jake asked, putting his phone back into his pocket.
Sherry shook her head. "Not at all - i'm tired anyway."
Jake looked slightly cautious. "You are? whats wrong?"
Sherry attempted to laugh off his worry to ease him. "I'm just tired, that's all!"
Jake nodded and stood from there table. "Lets head home then, you should take a nap anyway."
Sherry rolled her eyes. "God, all i do is lie in bed, the way you talk you'd swear i never sleep!"
Jake shrugged and held her by the waist as they walked out. "You need to get to rest, it's almost 6."
Sighing, Sherry guessed she wouldn't win the argument no matter what she did, so she decided to simply give up and allow Jake to guide her to the car.
"Alright Sherry i'm heading out." said Jake, poking his head into the bedroom, seeing Sherry was sitting up in bed, reading that parenting book that she apparently found boring.
Sherry nodded and blushed and him - seeing him wear a nice black dress shirt (with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows) and a nice pair of jeans was quite a rare occurrence indeed, but when it did happen, Sherry never could stop herself from blushing.
"Okay, have fun, and please have your phone on you so i can call if i need you." she said smiling, her blushing now fading.
Jake walked in and kissed her on the head. "I will, don't worry - i called Anna by the way, we've officially made our offer."
Sherry nearly jumped out of bed with excitement, but decided that enveloping Jake in a tight hug got her point across all the same. "Well get the mortgage stuff sorted out in the next few days, but for now we've made the offer."
"Great." she said, resting her forehead on Jake's shoulder, giggling from excitement. "Okay okay don't let me hold you up! go, go have fun!" she said with glee.
Jake nodded and kisses her once more on the head and walked out, leaving a very giddy Sherry behind.
We just need to have the kid now, and me and Sherry will have everything.
Jake jogged down the steps and caught an elevator down to the ground floor. On the way down he received a text from Leon that simply said "I'm outside."
Reaching the ground floor, he spied Leon's Audi R8 and hopped in.
"Hey Leon, thanks for picking me up." he said, checking his phone was on and wasn't on silent.
"No problem, house hunting went well?" he asked
"Yeah, we put an offer on the house." he stated.
Leon looked mildly surprised. "Already? did you guys even look at other houses?"
Jake shrugged. "Sherry fell in love with the house, and i loved it too, so we just went for it."
Leon nodded, "Fair enough, if you guys need help with the house, let me know."
"If we get it." Jake said with a chuckle, "But yeah, we'll need help with getting it ready." he finished, as Leon pulled out and they sped towards the bar.
It was around 2 am when Sherry stumbled into the kitchen, feeling incredibly hot and just a little dizzy. She figured it was just one of those Bad day side affects, but her body was being particularly cruel to her tonight, keeping her up.
Feeling the occasional pinch in her stomach was enough to jolt her awake every time she fell asleep, but it wasn't enough for her to call Jake.
Though, what was a good reason to call him was for him to get a jar of peanut butter for her on the way home. Peanut butter had become one of those cravings that Sherry couldn't shake no matter what - that, and apple juice.
Not even considering the time it was, and that all shops were closed, Sherry decided to call Jake anyway.
Feeling the pinch in her stomach grow a little stronger, Sherry sighed at the pain and dialed Jake's number.
Sherry called him twice and didn't get through to him either time, so she decided she'd leave a message for him.
Jake's automated messaged played. Hey this is Jake, you know what to do. A sharp beep played straight after.
"Jake i told you to keep your phone on! anyway if you get this i- hnnn.. o-ow!" Sherry suddenly dropped the phone on the kitchen tiles, causing a loud bang, and Sherry whimpered loudly from the pinch in her stomach, doubling over and nearly falling onto the tiles, but instead just barely catching herself on the table. Sherry took in a sharp breath and let out a loud whimper, following by a few tears, barely able to control her crying from how harsh the pinch had evolved into.
Sherry heard the loud beep from her phone, signalling that it still worked and that her sobbing was probably sent in the message to Jake. Frantically gasping for breathe and lunging for her phone, she attempted to call him 3 more times but he never picked up.
Feeling like she was going to pass out from the pain that was quickly worsening, she dialed Claire's number. She felt her eyes closing, and knew she was about to pass out from the pain
Claire, answer now! she silently pleaded
"Hey Sherrbert! someones up late!" Claire giggled.
"C-clai.. " Sherry was gasping for breathe and she felt her phone slip from her hands and her vision go black. The pain was too much for her.
Before she fell full victim to the pain, she silently hoped Claire or Jake was on there way to help her, because she was afraid to think what'd happen if Claire and Jake both left her.
