Thank you guys for the amazing reviews! Hope you all like this chapter.
Thursday night came and Artie found himself spending countless hours on the internet looking up places. He clicked any link that he could in order to find the most haunted and abandoned places in Ohio. Finally around 9, Artie found a website that had a list of them. Dialing up Finn, Artie excitedly gave him a few ideas.
"Alright so while we don't have to go to Wright- Patterson, I was thinking of expanding our road trip to anywhere in Ohio." Artie said cheerfully over the phone.
"What did you find?" Finn asked.
"Well, just north in Toledo, there's a building called Nazareth Hall in Grand Rapids. We could go to Roseville Prison. There's also the Prospect's Place in Trinway, The Ridges in Athens, a house in Huntsville that deals with a Hatchet man, the Franciscan Medical Center and Dayton VA Medical Center in Dayton, Peters Cartridge Company and Satan's Hollow in Cincinnati. If you want to stay local, we can always go to the Lima Correctional Institute." Artie said as he continued to browse through the internet.
"Do me a favor. Print off the list and bring it tomorrow." Finn said with a laugh.
"Oh right. Okay, I'll talk to you tomorrow." Artie said as he hung up the phone.
"What do you mean you're not going with us on the road trip?" Puck said over the phone.
"Because 1. you can't tell me what I can and can't do and 2. ghost hunting's a waste of time." Lauren said viciously.
"I'm not trying to tell you what you can and can't do. I just don't see why you won't go. What else would you be doing?" Puck asked.
"Whatever the Hell I want." Lauren said as she hung up the phone.
"Wow, what a bitch." Puck said as he lay back in his computer chair.
Ever since the two left Finn's on Saturday morning, Lauren's been acting differently towards Puck and he has no reason why. He figured it was that time of the month again, but then he started thinking about how she typically acts. Either way, Puck was sick of it. He turned on his i-Pod and blasted his music until he fell asleep.
"So are you going with us?" Rachel asked Sam as she looked at herself in the mirror.
"Going where?" Sam asked as he sat up on her bed.
"On our road trip, silly. The group's going to go ghost hunting somewhere in Ohio." Rachel said cheerfully.
"Then that's an automatic no for me. I'm not taking the risk of being possessed again." Sam said as he hopped off the bed.
"Aw, but I'll be there." Rachel said as she turned and faced him.
"I know, and believe me, I want to be there…it's just, well, I'm more worried about me being controlled again. You don't know what it's like." Sam said as he put his hands on Rachel's shoulders.
"If you were a good boyfriend, you'd put that phobia behind you and go with us." Rachel said, laying the guilt trip on him.
"Rachel, come on. I just-" Sam started to say but was quickly interrupted by his phone.
He took out his phone and read the text. Letting out a small sigh of relief, Sam told Rachel he had to go and quickly left her room. Saying goodbye to Rachel's dads, he rushed to his car and began to drive off.
"Thank God that's over with." Sam said as he turned down a street.
Sam continued to think of what happened to him a week ago at the hospital and how he almost choked to death after reading the diary entry. Shaking a little, he turned up the radio and started rocking out to some Linkin Park as Sam continued to drive. He rolled into his driveway and parked his car as the song Points of Authority ended. Sam rushed inside, said hey to his parents, and went directly upstairs to his room.
The next morning, Artie handed Finn the copy of the list of places. They both glanced over at the choices and looked over the myths and stories about the locations. Unable to decide, Finn told Artie to wait until lunch to decide so everyone can see what the choices are. Brittany walked up behind Artie with Quinn next to her. The four of them made their way to their first class, which was history. Brittany cheerfully wheeled Artie to his seat and sat down next to him, while Finn and Quinn took their seats behind them.
"Road trip…road trip…road trip." Brittany repeated happily as she smiled at Artie throughout the class.
"Yeah, baby. You and me…and the others. Do we get our own room at the hotel?" Artie asked as he blushed.
"Of course, babe! I'm not sharing it with anyone but you." Brittany said as she grabbed his hand.
In another class, Puck and Lauren sat on opposites sides of the room, along with Tina and Mike. Sam, Rachel, and Mercedes sat together, while Santana came in late. She grabbed a seat in front of Puke and Mike.
"So I think Tina and me are history. I can't take it any more." Mike whispered to Puck as he started copying down some notes.
"Yeah? Well same with Lauren and I. Last night, she got all pissed at me because I wanted to know why she wasn't going with us." Puck said as he lifted his head from off the table.
"No offense, but you shouldn't have dated her to begin with." Mike said with a laugh.
"Hey, I only did it because it was more cushion for the pushin." Puck said with a grin as he put his head back down on the table.
"Nasty…" Mike said as he continued writing down the notes.
While the guys continued to talk, Santana texted Matt. Over the past few days, she and he became closer and closer. For the first time in her life, Santana found someone that she actually liked and was completely worth being with. She asked Matt if he was going to go with them on their road trip. He happily said he'd go and would be over to pick her up later.
The bell finally rang and the group met up at lunch. After everyone grabbed their food and sat down, Finn and Artie pitched the ideas to them. Puck wanted to go to the Roseville Prison, while Mercedes and Rachel wanted to go to the Franciscan Medical Center. Mike wanted to go to the Hatchet man's house, while Quinn, Brittany, and Santana all wanted to go to the Nazareth Hall. Santana texted Matt the choices and he picked Nazareth Hall as well. Both Finn and Artie picked the Hatchet man's house.
"Sam, Lauren, Tina…what do you vote for?" Finn asked.
"We're not going." Lauren said in a bitchy tone.
"What? Why not?" Artie asked.
"For starters, Sam doesn't want to be possessed again. I'm not going because ghost hunting is stupid. Tina's not going because she's sick of Mike." Lauren said as she stood up.
"Have fun staying at home, doing nothing then." Puck said with a grin.
"What did you say, Puckerman?" Lauren asked as she slammed her fists against the table.
"You heard me." Puck said.
Before he could react, Lauren punched him square in the face, causing him to fall out of his seat. It took Puck a few minutes to get up and when he did, a black eye started to form. By the time he could say anything to her, Lauren already left the cafeteria with Sam and Tina.
"Well, that went better then I thought." Puck said with a small laugh as he picked up a milk carton and held it over his eye.
"You just got your ass beat!" Santana said with a laugh.
"Yeah, dude, and by a girl too." Finn said with a smile.
"Shut up. You guys can kiss my ass." Puck said, trying to cover up his embarrassment.
After a few minutes of laughing some more, the group finally got down to business and all agreed on the Nazareth Hall. However, they also agreed that they'd stop by the Roseville Prison the next weekend, as well as the Prospect's Place due to how close they are to each other.
"Alright then. So we'll meet at my house again tonight. Sadly, no party because my mom, Burt, and Kurt are home now." Finn said as he stood up from the table.
"That works. Besides, I don't want to be in the same car as you guys after you all drink and drive, especially when we're going an hour and a half north." Artie said with a smile.
Everyone else agreed and headed to Glee as the bell rang.
