A/N: Okay…. I'm really sorry. I know I said I would update on Saturday, but I was very busy. I know it's no excuse, but my project was selected for the Math's fair, and then my English project got selected too… I hadn't had enough sleep on the last days, but you deserved a new chapter, so on with the story!
Disclaimer: No I don't. Phoey!
I woke up and saw Beck was still asleep next to me. I smiled as I pecked his lips.
"Hey." He groaned. "How are you?"
"I'm okay; I have said it to you like ten times. I'm fine, don't need to worry!"
He smiled and got out of bed.
"We need to get going, school starts in an hour." He said.
"No!" I groaned as he dragged me of bed.
"We have to go, remember you promised your brother you wouldn't ditch school. You can't break your promise."
"He'll get over it." I mumbled. He laughed. I got ready and said I would wait for him downstairs. I walked to the kitchen and started making coffee on the new machine my mom had bought before she died. Suddenly, a tiny ball of light I hadn't see in a long time, entered the kitchen.
"Beck! Babe!" I screamed as loud as my lungs let me.
"Coming, coming! We aren't that late." I heard him yell in response. The white ball started to shape into a girl on a white dress and high heels. I felt Beck's arms around my waist and his hot breath on my neck, but I was too scared to turn around.
"Everything is gonna be fine, babe. Just stay still, and listen." He whispered on my ear.
"I warned you, Jadelyn West. You didn't listen to me. Your parents are dead and it is your entire fault. I wasn't the one who murdered your parents. The wizards I told you about did. You need to undo the curse before it is too late. They will kill everyone you love before your eyes and then they will kill you, slowly and painfully, just as they did with me. Starting with your brother and ending with that pretty boy behind you. You have one month at most, starting now. The first hint will be found with my daughter, Mia…" She said and started to fade away.
I felt tears streaming down my cheeks and I couldn't help but sob it all out on my boyfriend's shirt.
"We have to go to school." I said once I had calmed down.
"We don't have to go if you don't want." Beck kissed my cheek.
"I'm not a weak girl, 'kay? So, yeah, a ghost girl appeared and told me my parents were dead for my fault. Also that I had to do something before they get my boyfriend and brother killed." I sighed. "But it isn't like I can't go to school. Lets go and tell the guys what happened."
"Kay." He chuckled and drove us to school.
"Jadey! Becky!" Cat yelled as we entered Math's classroom. "You'll never guess what I saw, we need to talk." Her voice suddenly turned serious. Cat serious is never a good sign.
"Yeah, something weird happened to me too." Andre said, standing next to me.
"Me too." Robbie added.
"We definitely need to talk." Beck said.
"Why don't we just ditch Math and go to the coffee shop next block? Mr. Brooks isn't even here yet." I suggested.
We had a good excuse to ditch. Well… nowadays anything was a good excuse to ditch class. Everyone agreed. We took our stuff back and got out if school avoiding all the teachers.
We ordered coffee and cupcakes (Cat's idea) and sat down to listen to everybody's story. Me and Beck started and the group paid attention.
"Oh, Jade. That must have been horrible!" Cat exclaimed. I nodded. "Well, anyways, now I'll tell you what I saw. I entered my bathroom to apply mi make-up and I saw on the mirror a red thingy, so I tried to wipe it away. As soon as my hand reached the mirror, red letters appeared. They were a list, of people. Numbers from 1 to 6."
Her eyes showed that she was worried. Cat took out a folded paper and put it on the table.
1. Mila Louis.
2. Joan Louis
3. Miranda West.
4. Daniel West.
5. Caterina Valentine.
6. Beck Oliver.
"I know all this people." I gasped. "Number1 is my grandma, the one Danny is visiting, number 2 is my aunt, my mother's sister. 3 is my cousin, and well… you know the rest."
"I don't want to freak you out, but this may be the list of the people Haley was talking about this morning." Beck said as he grabbed my hand. I knew that… all those people… were going to die if we didn't do something about it.
"Okay, it's my turn now." Andre interrupted my thoughts. "I was eating breakfast and all of a sudden the kitchen's door banged open. I walked into my living room, to see if my grandma was there. All the windows were open and this was on the floor." He took out a blue post-it.
"35964-8563"
"What is that?" Robbie asked.
"It looks like a telephone number." Beck said.
"Yeah but who's"
"The only way of finding out is calling." Cat smiled.
"I don't have a good feeling about this, why don't we just wait until Daniel comes back?" I sighed.
"We can't keep waiting; remember what happened to your parents." Andre exclaimed. I winced.
"Why don't you come over today after school? We need to go back before anyone notices we aren't there." I suggested.
…
The day passed by quickly and before we knew it, I was on Beck's truck riding home.
"What do you think we should do?" I asked him. I didn't felt sure about calling, but it was the only clue we had.
"I think we should call, maybe the number's owner know what to do." He answered. I nodded and started singing along with the song on the radio. Rolling in the deep, by Adele.
"You know… you are the greatest singer I have ever met." Beck said, taking his hand of the stirring wheel to kiss mine.
"And you are the best actor I have ever met." I smiled. I loved all the things he could make me feel at the same time. I realized we hadn't heard what Robbie wanted to say yet.
We got on the garage and ordered pizza waiting for the others to arrive.
"Hey guys!" Cat greeted us as she and the boys entered the living room. I told them to go to my room and took Beck back to the garage.
"I need to call Daniel first." I answered to his unspoken question. I took out my red Pearpohone and dialed my brother's number.
"Jade?" He answered.
"Hey! I'm sorry I didn't call before, but I have to tell-"
"I have great news!" He cut me off. "Grandma is very nice to me and has agreed to give me the money. But she doesn't know you exist, for some reason; mom never told her she had a daughter. I figured out it would be better for me not to tell her. She might get angry and refuse to help me." He said. My heart dropped. My mom never told my grandma I existed? "You don't mind right?"
"Of course I don't!" I tried to sound happy, but Beck, who was behind me, could see the tears that threatened to fall through my cheeks. He put his arms around my waist and hugged me tight. He knew something wasn't okay.
"Danny, I need to tell you something, but I can't do it over the phone. When are you coming back?" I had a tiny bit of hope that he was returning tomorrow, that way we could call with him here for me.
"I'm sorry, little sis', but grandma wants me to stay here until Saturday, she wants me to meet some of her friends. I have to, we really need her help." He sighed through the phone. "Something happened? Are you okay? What is so important that you need to talk to me?" He realized what I said.
"Everything is fine. It's just I'm about to do something that may be risky and I wanted you to know that I love you." I smiled. It was just a phone call, but I had a seriously bad feeling, something huge was about to happen. And my brother knew me well enough to know that there was nothing he could say or do to make me stop.
"Well, you know that I love you right? Please call me when you are finished will you?" He sighed. I could tell he was worried. "Is Beck there with you? I wanna talk to him."
"Yeah, wait a sec." I looked at Beck. "He says he wants to talk to you."
"Sure." He smiled and I handed him the phone.
"Beck?" I could hear mi brother greet him.
"Yeah."
"Look, I just want to ask you something. I need you to take care of her, okay? Please don't let anything happen to my sister."
"Of course I'll take care of her, Daniel. I would die if she got hurt." He hugged me tighter.
"Thanks."
A/N: I'm sorry I didn't updated last week. I was tired and I was really thinking about giving up on the story. I am very sorry, but yesterday I had a dream, and now I know where this is going. Please hang on there. I just got on winter vacations so I promise another chapter on Monday or Tuesday.
Thanks for waiting. If you review I will PM you a sneak peek of next chapter and if you don't have an account, leave your e-mail address on the review.
Love
Andrew.
PS: I was wondering. Are there any The Vampire Diaries or Twilight Fans reading this? I just wanted to know because… I LOVE THEM!
