Mkay, so I TOTALLY had a burst of inspiration for this story! HOW EXCITING! But, yet, this will be the last chapter…. And I will do an epilogue. SO, I promised you all a party on the last chapter and the epilogue doesn't count, so you all ill have to read while I throw a HUGE party. That you ARE invited to! What a shock! Well, food and crap is on that table and I have a mix CD playing, so just like all of the music, kay? Kay.
Chapter 11:
I traded in my Lamborghini in at this place, and I only got about 50,000 for it. I mean the school- I mean I bought it for over three times that amount! How rude of them. Before we got any plane tickets, though, I made sure that I actually spent some quality time in with my 'family'. We all went to an amusement park!
It was great, though! The ride lines were all super short, since it was cloudy and gross, so we could ride whatever we wanted! I took great joy in riding the same roller coaster over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
I was basically by myself, too, so I didn't have to compromise the rides I wanted to go on. I would've been with Nica, but nooo! She had to find a really hot, semi- vegetarian vampire to hang with! I did hang out with Davix for a bit, and he was really nice, but a really big nerd. I am, too, so that's okay.
You know what I found out, that was really funny? Well, mosquitoes can't bite us! I mean, our skin is too hard, and we don't have any blood anyway!
I ended up hanging out in a random pavilion somewhere in the middle of the park. Being a loner. But a happy loner. Is that an oxymoron? No, just because I'm a loner, that doesn't mean that I have to be depressed, does it? Why am I having a conversation with myself?
Finally, I made myself shut up, and then I had some peace and quiet. Well I caused the loudness, so I couldn't complain. Damn, I have a problem with confusing myself.
"Hello," said someone I wasn't expecting to hear.
"Hey, Alex," I replied.
"I think you're stupid."
"Why thank you, Alex. I always expected you to blunt and to the point."
"You left your old home because of a guy? That's stupid. I mean a lot of people never even meet someone they fall in love with. You should be happy that you had the chance to experience it, instead of being all depressed and suicidal."
"I'm not suicidal anymore and- Wait! How did you know about that?"
"I have a tendency to tap into phone conversations."
"Nice. And what you said was very psychological and deep. When did you get deep?"
"Very funny. It was right after I hit my head on a pole," she said. I laughed.
"You are funny, did you know that?" Alex just looked at me.
"Fine! I'll stop talking!"
"Stop thinking's more like it," Alex murmured, then walked away.
Wow, she had the ability to be personable. I didn't think it was possible! Oh the horror! I mean greatness or something!
"She is pretty cool when you get to know her," Leigh said. I jumped. I had been too busy paying attention to the goings on inside my head to hear her.
"Apparently I haven't gotten to know her very well yet," I said. Leigh smiled.
"She is a bit of a recluse; I'll admit that." I raised an eyebrow at her.
"A bit?" Leigh gave me a look that plainly said you're pushing your luck.
"Fine!" I giggled at that. I said it to the last two people I had talked to. Leigh looked at me like I was crazy, smiling, and left me to my thoughts.
It's kind of echoey in my head. It's like I could yodel, then it would echo. Isn't that great?
-xXxXx-
After our awesome time at the amusement park, we crashed at some random Hotel. I was sharing a room with Alex and Davix, since Nica brought that stupid Joseph with her. Stupid.
I had the TV on the Animal Channel. I think it's called Animal Planet. Well, there is a great documentary on Hippopotamuses. Oh great, that big male was screwing that female. What a nice thing to show on a channel that a lot of kids watch.
"I think you're rather enjoying that scene, there," Alex said. I looked at her and laughed. We had been getting along a lot better. She sat down next to me on the couch.
"Of course I am! Who wouldn't enjoy the sight of hippo sex?"
"Me," Davix said. He came over and sat on my other side.
"What's wrong with you? Everyone loves this," Alex exclaimed at her brother.
"According to you, everything's wrong with me." He looked at me and winked.
"It'd do you well to remember it, too," I added.
"I never thought I'd say this, but listen to this girl! She knows what she's talking about!"
"Excuse me?" I did the head thing with the snaps.
"First off, hon, the snappy thing goes like this," Davix said and demonstrated, "Second off, that's my thing!"
"Davix, are you sure you're straight," Alex asked.
"Not in the least."
"Figures," Alex mumbled. She checked her watch. Wait, when did she get one of those?
"Holy cow! It's, like, 7:00 PM!" She was totally, like, imitating one of those obnoxious, slutty girls.
"I feel the need to go clubbing," I said.
"You could probably count Alex out, but if you really want, and I mean really want, I could go with you," Davix said.
"Nah, I think I could handle it myself. No offense, but you don't sound very excited about going."
"I wasn't. I was just offering," he replied.
"Thank you, then," I replied with a smile. I got up and went into the bathroom. I took out my streaks and curled my hair. I took off my outrageous amount of make-up and took out my contacts. I changed into a flouncy teal halter and some tight skinny jeans. I put on some strappy teal stilettos and walked out.
"I'll see you all later!" Davix gave me a thumbs up and Alex grunted. I walked down the stairs and out into the dark night. I started into a run and thoroughly enjoyed the rushing wind whistling in my ears and flying through my hair.
I found a club and upon my entrance, I heard the song 'Get the party Started' by P!nk playing loudly over the speakers. I sat down in a chair and waited for some random stranger to approach me. I wasn't feeling very confident tonight.
A blonde guy walked over to me and offered his hand. I took it and we started dancing to the song 'Jumpin', Jumpin'' by Destiny's Child; it had just started. He kinda bored me, but I wanted something to do.
I sat down when 'Survivor', another Destiny's Child song, started playing. All of a sudden, I got a hard knot in the pit of my stomach. It took me a while to realize the problem: I missed Sam. I wrapped my arms around myself and looked sad.
To make matters so much worse, the next song was an old anthem. It was 'Keep Holding On'. One of the first songs that I heard while I was with Sam. I hope lightning strikes me dead now.
I ran out of the club, failing to suppress my sobs. I brushed against someone's shoulder, but hurried along anyway. Not a fun night at all.
Sam's PoV:
I parked the car in a parking lot of some store; I didn't really pay attention to whatever it was. I took off the license plates and shredded all of the paperwork. I didn't want to deal with it right now.
It was kind of weird; I hadn't been nearly as thirsty as I normally am ever since this experience began. I guess I was just preoccupied. God, that was the understatement of the year.
I walked along the side of the road for a while, and then I entered the main city. I have no clue where I was, it didn't really matter to me anymore. Only one thing really mattered.
I walked along the city streets, too, and pondered many things. How I had ruined my life. How hopeless I was. What a bad person I was. What I would do if I lost Pheona. Things along these lines.
A short cement building caught my eye. I could hear music playing, and there was a long line to get in. How depressing, a dance club. I bet I could get in if I ran fast enough.
As I was entering the building, at a very fast speed mind you, someone bumped into me. When I looked, though, there was no one there. And then it hit me.
The thing I had been searching for: Pheona's scent. On impulse, I sniffed my shoulder. And there it was. I turned around and raced the other way.
Pheona's PoV Again:
I raced up to the hotel room and opened the door. Davix and Alex were still watching that thing about Hippos. Gross people.
"Hey, are y'all ready to head to the airport?"
"I guess so. We bought the tickets a bit ago," Alex replied. Davix just nodded.
"Okay, let me go tell the others," I said and exited the room. I was in there for a short time.
I knocked on the door to Leigh and Johnny's room, and Johnny opened it. How nice.
"I'm so glad you decided to where clothes this time," he said. All of the sudden, a pillow hit him in the head.
"Be nice!"
"Thanks, Leigh," I said. She walked to the door, stuff in hand.
"No problem. Let's go."
"I gotta get Nica and Joseph," I said.
"We talked about it earlier, and Nica is just going to stay here for a bit; then come see us in Italy," Johnny said. My shoulders slumped. First she had left me at the park, now she wasn't even going with us.
I trudged back to my room, but Alex and Davix were closing the door. Davix handed me my duffels.
"Thanks." He just nodded.
"You just started being really quiet. Is something wrong," I asked him. He gave me a one armed hug.
"Nope, just being my normal, quiet self." I smiled at him. We all walked out of the hotel, Leigh had checked the two rooms out, and ran to the airport.
We got through security scott-free, and we went to our loading dock. I didn't feel the need to sit down. Alex stood next to me.
"Why didn't we just fly in the first place," she asked me.
"Because Pheona acts first, and thinks later," said a voice I knew. My God, did I know it well. I turned around. There he was, in all of his perfection.
"What the fuck are you doing," I never got to finish. He was kissing me before I could do anything else. And this was the type of kiss that said it all. The fact that he was sorry and he couldn't believe it either. I replied, too. I forgave him. Simple as that. I mean, he chased me half way around the world to apologize. Doesn't that count for anything?
He pulled away slowly. I looked around. The plane had loaded, so it was empty. Leigh, Johnny, Alex and Davix had left to give me some privacy. How sweet.
"You must have a pretty big heart to chase me this much," I told him.
"My heart is dead," he replied, giving me that smile of his.
"It's not like I give a damn." I pulled him in for another kiss. It was a special kiss; one for lovers who had all of eternity.
A.N- Awww! That was SO much fun to write. And I know it was short, and I did write it in 3 days, but it has a lot of stuff in it. Still so sad that this was the last chapter. I'll get to the epilogue right away. I'm on summer break, so I have lots of time to write. And yeah, I'm a sucker for happy endings. Please leave a review!
