SAWYER'S POV
I was looking everywhere for my highlighters. I had just gotten the new script for my show and needed to highlight my lines for memorizing. I swear I have looked everywhere in my room and I didn't even need all of my highlighters, just one. I sighed as my phone rang pulling me from my hunt.
From Carlos:
Do you have a jump rope? O.o
To Carlos:
Yes.
From Carlos:
Can I borrow it? O.O
To Carlos:
…What's the stunt?
From Carlos:
What makes you think there's a stunt?
To Carlos:
o.O
From Carlos:
...
To Carlos:
We both know how this is going to end.
From Carlos:
So, can I borrow it or not?
To Carlos:
Give me one good reason why I should let you borrow it?
From Carlos:
WHY ARE YOU SO PROTECTIVE OVER YOUR JUMP ROPE!
To Carlos:
Dude. o.O
From Carlos:
Sharing is caring!
To Carlos:
Yeah? And I care…about my jump rope.
From Carlos:
Just meet me by the pool. Bring the jump rope!
To Carlos:
…Fine.
I sighed as I got my jump rope and headed down to the pool. I know there can't be anything good coming from this.
I met him poolside, jump rope in hand, "Explain." I demanded before handing over my jump rope.
"Elizabeth likes Zorro…right?" Carlos asked looking back and forth between the jump rope and me.
I narrowed my eyes, "Yeah."
"Awesome! Can you make sure she's down here?" He asked quickly grabbing the jump rope out of my hand and began to make a run for it.
"Down here for what?" I shouted.
He stopped and looked back to me, "Nothing…it'll be great!" He grinned like a maniac before taking off again. I looked around to find the source for the need of my jump rope it didn't take long for me to find it. There was a rope connecting the building to the far side of the pool, joy.
I sighed as my phone buzzed in my pocket.
From Elizabeth:
Whatcha doin'?
To Elizabeth:
Making sure Carlos doesn't break his neck.
That might have not been the best way to tell her the situation…
From Elizabeth:
Where are you?
To Elizabeth:
Pool.
Within seconds she was right next to me trying to catch her breath, "What do you mean making sure Carlos doesn't break his neck?" She asked carefully annunciating every word, something she only did when she would panic.
"How many ways can I mean that?" I counter asked, "He's wearing his helmet, he'll be fine!" Sawyer exclaimed.
"The helmet won't stop him from breaking his neck!" She shouted.
"Or will it?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"No…no it won't." She replied.
"Well," I started but came up short, "I…got nothing, but I'm sure he'll be fine."
"Well, what's he doing?" She asked.
I weakly smiled and pointed up, she followed and every muscle in her face dropped, "Homemade zip-line…" She mumbled through a sigh.
"I'm here to make sure he lands it AND get it on tape." I looked down to my hands and then looked back to her. "Okay…maybe not get it on tape." Elizabeth being in panic makes me nervous and makes me…just keep talking.
"So stopping him wasn't an option?" She asked.
I sighed, "You know Carlos and how nothing gets through his helmet to his thick skull…" I mumbled.
Carlos poked his head out the window, looked to his mission, and smiled.
"Bitters?" She questioned through a mumble.
"Lunch." I replied crossing my arms over my chest as we both looked up at Carlos.
I sighed as Carlos threw one end to a jump rope over the main rope and wrapped the ends of it tightly around his hands. I could hear Elizabeth catch her breath as he climbed full out of the window, "Wooooo!" He shouted as he pushed of from the building.
It all happened fast. Elizabeth covered her eyes as Carlos flew to the other side of the pool. He landed safely with a collective cheer from everyone who saw.
"Is he dead? Is he breathing? Is he alive?" She quickly asked her eyes still covered.
"You just asked me the same question three different ways." I laughed.
"Then answer!"
"He's fine." I replied looking over to her.
She sighed uncovering her eyes, the smile of relief she wore quickly faded. I followed her line of vision and saw Carlos being flocked by the Jennifers.
She sighed again out of frustration, "What is?" I asked looking back to her.
"One of my close friends risks his neck, sticks the landing, and all I can think about is burning the place down." She replied as she started to walk into the Palm Woods.
I looked back to Carlos who was trying to fight his way past the Jennifers and over to me. He looked to each of them quickly, "Free lip gloss!" I shouted pointing in a different direction.
They backed off and ran in the direction, he took the chance and hurried over to me; "Where's Elizabeth?" He asked looking past me.
"She was here." I assured him.
He smiled, "Did she like it?" He asked.
"She…felt something." I replied.
Carlos smiled, "Where'd she go?"
"Uhm, she has homework to finish and I have to highlight my lines…after I find my highlighters." I answered quickly.
He smiled, "Alright, I'll catch up with you guys later." He said with a wave.
ELIZABETH'S POV
I passed on finishing my homework and was lying on the couch flipping through TV channels mocking the people as the quickly appeared and vanished.
Dad walked out from his office, pulling on his jacket, "I'll be at the office if you need me." He said catching my attention.
I narrowed my eyes at him and looked to my watch; 6:30PM. "You know," I said while sitting up, "I'm not going to believe that lie forever." I stated locking his eyes.
He stopped in mid straightening his jacket and caught my glare; he blinked as his gaze fell to the floor. He sighed and walked out of the apartment.
Its official…boys are stupid…
"Except my Sawyer..." I said aloud as if he were here.
Holy hell, was that me who fell of the face of the Earth? Well I'm back and here is this chapter. It's a filler, but I thought you guys should know the truth. :3 Review pllleeeeaaaassssse.
