Just to clear things up:
1.) Julie is single but never got married…NEVER got married. (I don't know her maiden name..)
2.) Caleb is alive but Julie is happy and does not need a man. (giggles)
3.) Juju is a highly successful…(tries to think of a profession.)…..well lets just pretend she inherited enough money to live off of for the rest of her life…and for Marissa and Summer to share it and still be able to share it with their great, great, great, great grandkids.
4.) They don't live in a huge mansion. The live in…….a huge house.
5.) Summer doesn't live with them really but she like lives there…get me?
Chapter 5: Jiinxed?
"Hey Jo? Ya wanna fix me some break-fast?" Alex was trying to find Jodie to see if she would fix her some breakfast. "Jo? Jodie? Where are you at I'm kinda hungry?" a few minutes passed and she still couldn't find her…then she heard a car pull up. One that had to be Jodie's…no other car in the world sounded that smooth.
Alex walked outside after grabbing a pint of Ben & Jerry's. "Jo where were you? I was getting kinda worried?"
"I went to the grocery store to get some munchie worthy foods!" She said it with a giant grin.
"Why are you smiling? You look like a horny 13 year old boy." Alex was really starting to get worried now.
"Do you remember when you said you wanted to go on a road trip? Well it looks like your wish just came true." By the time Jodie had finished her second sentence Alex had already ran inside, grabbed her already packed bag, and jumped in the car. Damn she's quick!
"I'm ready. You ready? I know I'm ready! Let's roll!" Jodie felt a lot better knowing that she had gotten the other girl's mind off of Marissa.
"Of course I'm ready!" Jodie ran inside real quick to turn off all the lights and grab her stash….of Vault.
A few minutes later Jodie came back outside. "Ok I got my stash, the lights are off and…where are your pants?" They both laughed.
"Do I have to go back inside, root through my closet, find a pair of pants, and then take the time to put them on?...it'll take forever!" She wined like a little child.
"No you don't but you do need to try this!" Jodie handed her a Vault with some Canadian Mist in it.
"What is it?" She had no clue what Jodie was giving her, and she wanted to know.
"Just try it!" Jodie shoved the cup into Alex's hands.
"Fine!" Alex took a big gulp.
Back in Newport
Summer hadn't called Jodie the night before and was now having trouble reaching her.
"Shit!" It was the sixth time Summer had tried to call Jodie.
"What's wrong Summer?" It was Ryan…had to be.
"Hey, Ryan! What's going on?" She got out of her car. She was at Marissa's house.
"What do you mean what's going on? I just heard about Marissa…Why would she do that again?" He looked angry.
Summer was confused. What did Marissa do? I don't remember Marissa doing anything bad… "What do you mean? Why would she do what?" She was utterly confused.
"Wait, don't you know? Marissa tried to kill herself again and she's in the hospital. I thought you knew. How could you not?" He couldn't understand why no one had told Summer.
"Oh that! She didn't try to kill herself!" Ryan looked slightly worried.
"What do you mean? I thought she wasn't really able to talk? Something about being temporarily paralyzed."
"Oh well yea, she can't talk. The doctors found snake venom in her system, and since Marissa is like deathly afraid of snakes they figure someone tried to kill her." Oh shit! I forgot to call Kirsten!
"Oh well who did it?"
"Would I be here if I knew?" What a dumb-ass question!
"Hell I don't know."
"Well you should…well I have got to go! I'm trying to get a hold of someone." She started dialing the number again.
"Okay well I'm heading to the hospital. See you later."
"Bye, Ryan!"
"Damn Jodi pick-up the fucking phone!"
About 2 hours out side of LA
Jodi stopped the car at a gas station to get some ice water. When she got back outside she went over to Alex and picked the girl up. She set her on the concrete and then she dumped the water on her. Luckily she had decided to put on some tinker bell pajama pants.
"Alex, wake up!" She kicked her softly a few times. She was beginning to get worried when she couldn't get the girl to wake up.
Jodi put Alex back in the car, and took her to the hospital. When she got there they wouldn't let her back so she went back outside to get her cell and call Summer. She realized that her phone had been turned off and mentally kicked herself for being so stupid when she knew that Summer might've needed to call.
"Shit 28 missed calls! And they're all from Summer!" She dialed Summer's phone and it was answered on the first ring by a frantic Summer.
"What the hell Jodi? I've called you like ten times!"
"Actually it was 28."
"Well damnit don't just not answer your fucking phone…I was worried." She said the last part as if she was afraid of what the other girl's reaction would be.
"Look I'm really sorry. I accidentally turned off my phone." Jodi was angry at herself for causing the other brunette so much grief. "I really am sorry. Accept my apology?"
"I guess…just promise not to scare me like that again?"
"I promise." She swore she could see the smile on the other girl's face.
"Oh yea, umm Marissa didn't try to kill herself. She was poisoned with snake venom." She couldn't believe that it wasn't the first thing that had come out of her mouth when she picked up the phone.
"Well speaking of someone being in a hospital. Guess where I am!"
"Oh my god! What happened? Are you okay?" Summer felt her heart drop.
"I'm fine, but Alex isn't. She fell asleep and she wouldn't wake up so I took her to the hospital."
"What the fuck? It's like we're jinxed or something! It's like we can't get them together! Is there a law against that? I mean, the last time I checked there wasn't. I'm babbling so I'll just shut up now."
"It's okay. I think you're kinda cute when you babble." Did I just say that!
Did she just say what I think she said? Maybe if I act like I didn't hear it I won't like…freak out.
"What'd you say?"
"Umm...nothing. I didn't say anything" She thought Summer had heard her but she figured since she asked what she said maybe she didn't.
"Oh well umm…get back to me when they find out what is wrong with Alex. Bye."
"Bye."
"Wait, Jodi?"
"Do you speak French?"
"No why?"
"L'amour est a chose grande quand entre deux femmes." She said it with an immense air of confidence.
"What does that mean?" She wondered why she would tell her something in a language she couldn't speak.
"Don't worry about it. Bye." With that last statement Summer hung up.
"Now I'm going to have to try and remember what she said. Then I'm going to have to find someone that can speak French…Damnit why couldn't she say it in German or Spanish?"
Jodi walked back into the hospital to see if they would let her see Alex.
I will not tell you what Summer said. You will have to figure it out on your own….but oh how true it is!
