Hey everyone(: I'm sooooo sorry about the long wait. I've had a lot going on in my life, and will for the rest of the year. Updates are going to be quite spotty, so please bear with me. This chapter is kind of short, and it only has a couple characters in it. Sorry about that! Anyways, here's the next chapter (:
A strangled sob breaks through his lips, hand quivering, he opens his closed eyes slowly. Why am I doing this? he thinks, looking at the small bottle of pills in his shaking left hand. I have so much to live for, this one girl, she can't do this to me. He blinks quickly, reanalyzing the situation. Loosening the death grip he has on the pills, tiny voices tell him otherwise.
Do it. You have nothing to live for. No one will ever date you, and she will never choose you over him.
The voices have been fighting all day, making is hard to concentrate, and feeling worse than ever.
Get rid of the awful feeling of not being wanted, just a couple pills and one sip of water, and poof; worries gone. They're so tempting, those voices, and they seem to know what their talking about. Clumsily unscrewing the cap, he pulls out 6 pills. Slowly he lifts his hand, ready to toss the little white pills into his mouth when his phone rings, shrill and demanding. Sighing shakily, he puts the pills down and answers the phone.
From: 243-778-9600
To: Esteban.
Don't do it.
His eyes widen, confused and alarmed. He replies.
To: 243-778-9600
From: Esteban.
Who is this? And what are you talking about?
To: Esteban
From: 243-778-9600
Its Jade. Don't do it. Its not worth it.
He reads the text twenty times before finally comprehending the words. Jade knows what he was doing. How? No clue.
To: Jade
From: Esteban.
How do you know what I'm doing?
To: Esteban
From: Jade
Trina told me about your conversation. So I sent a 9th grader to see what you were up to. I know I'm not this sensitive, but when it comes to someone's life, I am. I know first hand how it feels to not be wanted. Just don't do it.
To: Jade
From: Esteban.
I wont.
Closing his eyes, he groans.
"Jade, why do you have to be so darn hard to refuse?" He says out loud, flushing the rest of the pills down the toilet, walking to his bedroom, and plopping down in his bed. Just as his head hit's the pillow, he takes in a sharp breath, glancing at his watch. I'm late. He thinks, scrambling up, grabbing his jacket, and heading towards the park.
"Alright! Is everyone here?" Claire shouts, tapping her foot loudly on the asphalt. A few grumbles run through the crowd as Esteban finally makes it to the crowd.
"I'll take that as a yes. So, we have to get down to business. The Hollywood Arts natives are starting to become curious. We were sent here for a reason, and one reason only, and we cannot fail."
"We can't fail cause were too good!" Angelo laughs, earning a deadly glare from Claire.
"Yes, well. How is everything going?"
" Were blending in as good as we can, trying to complete out mission without the natives getting suspicious. It is quite hard." Landon says quietly, "Especially what is going on with the twins. That's one hundred percent real, and I'm scared for them."
"Me too babe, but we have to finish this mission. Now, everyone, what was the mission again?" Claire questions rather loudly.
"Take down Hollywood Arts!" They all yell, knowing that they can't fail… Or else.
So, I'm sorry about the shortness of the chapter, and the suckyness of it. I honestly don't know where this story is going, so I'm just writing what comes off the top of my head. Leave a review, pretty please?(:
