Author's Note: Later tonight, chapter 21 will be posted. No worries, eh? Read and review. ;)
Chapter Twenty: Separate Lives/When It All Falls
Lauryn, Callissa, and Jude all lay face down on massage tables, three oriental women massaging their oiled backs. "So Samantha, what kind of music do you like?" Calissa asked, turning her head to face her.
"Uh, I like Aerosmith, Nirvana definetly, uh, Paramore, Katy Perry, Stars...a lot more, but those are just the top."
Calissa nodded, comparing hers with someone elses. Last night she'd stayed up late, researching on Samantha and the theory she'd been thinking of. If she knew one thing, it was sure Samantha was not her real name. "What about you?" Samantha asked.
"Alesana, Colby O, Gym Class Heroes, Shwayze, Duffy, Usher, and," She drug the syllable out, thinking for a moment. "Coheed and Cambria, but those are just the top bands." Jude nodded, groaning quietly as the messeuse worked a kink in her shoulder.
"So, what was it like growing up in Bangor?" Lauryn asked. "I bet it was nice, like, a tight knit community."
"Yeah," Samantha said. "I still knew most of my elementry school friends when I was in high school. There a bit too much snow, though. And we still had to go to school."
Calissa groaned, knowing the feeling. "Ugh, I know. Boston gets like ass loads of snow and we still have to trudge from building to building. I hate it."
The trio laughed and suddenly 'Shut up and Let Me Go' resonated from Samantha's purse beside the massage table. She sat up, holding the towel to her bare chest. She looked at the ID of her own sidekick; she didn't know the number, but she knew it was a Canadian call. Her heart picked up speed and a nausceaus feeling grew as she pressed the talk button with shaky fingers.
"Hello?" She asked, sitting down with her back facing the Michaels' girls.
"Ju - I mean Samantha, I know you said we shouldn't contact you..." Kwest's voice filtered through the ear piece and to her, it sounded like she'd been crying. "But Sadie's been in a serious car accident...I - I think you should come home."
Jude felt the world tilt and she pressed end before passing out.
Preview of Chapter Twenty One: Didn't We Almost Have it All? - (Jude's POV)
I open my eyes to see Callie and Lauryn standing over me, looking very worried. "Are you okay?" Lauryn asks, placing a hand on my arm.
Am I okay? Ha. I look around before leaning up. "I - I need to see Lucas." My throat is dry and I feel like crying. I have to tell Lucas. I have to. He'll be mad...I can feel it.
