Oh, I never mentioned it, but I don't own House of Wax. Don't sue. I own Alex.
My eyes fluttered open as I heard Dalton loudly speak "Just let me drive, bitch. He gave me the keys, man." I snuggled into the seats trying to go back to sleep. "Yeah, because he thinks I'm the one who stole the car and crashed it." My eyes snapped open. Nick didn't steal that car?
"Whatever. You didn't have to cover for me, dude." I closed my eyes again. I couldn't believe it; all the fights I had with Nick were about absolutely nothing. I was going to kill Dalton.
"Your jacket's clean, alright? Mine's already got plenty of stains on it. One more is not gonna make a difference…" I heard them sigh. "Where the hell is this place? Town's not even on the GPS" I cracked open my eye and watched as the GPS was now off any main road. "That's weird." Dalton commented. It fell silent, well, for a moment. "Actually, what's weird is that Alex is still sleepin'…" Dalton said as he shifted in his seat. I slammed my eyes shut quickly. "You know cars make her tired; ever since she was a baby." I had the feeling that Nick was giving me a sympathetic look. "Yeah, but this is unnatural…" Dalton said. I heard a light smack, implying that Nick hit Dalton. "It became a habit when she was always put in cars. Her family always had her going places, her friends always wanted to take little trips, and she had a baby-sitter who left her in a car while the bitch made errands. In situations like that what would you do?" Nick was furious and frankly, so was I. I can't believe he just told Dalton about my old baby-sitter.
"I didn't know she was one of those babies you heard about in the news that were left in cars." Dalton's voice held strong guilt. I hated feeling so helpless, that's why I never told anyone and that's why I expected Nick not to tell anyone either.
"Look, don't tell her I told you…" And with that it was quite again.
During the ride, I had been thinking a lot about what had happened from when Nick had "stole the car" to now and I've come down to that no matter what situation, I was going to be there for him and he was going to be there for me. I just didn't know that there was soon going to be a test to how far we'll go for each other.
Eventually, Dalton broke the silence "So…you think Carly and Wade are gonna stay together when she moves to New York? Because she be looking at me sometimes like-" Dalton was cut short by Nick "Dalton, it ain't happening…" I bit my cheeks to keep from giggling. "What? What do you mean?" He was seriously clueless. "And even if it was happening, it ain't happening. Nothing personal." Nick was determined to leave it like that, but knowing Dalton, it wouldn't just drop.
"Why? You like me better than Wade, right?" Nick sighed deeply "Wade's not so bad." I smiled lightly. "Yeah, I like Wade too." Things were going quite again and I just couldn't stay awake.
I was driving along a road. My surroundings were a complete darkness while the road I was driving on was a blinding white. I couldn't focus; I felt an unsettling anger rise in me as a light came from up a head. In the middle of the darkness, there was light surrounding a woman and a baby. I had no control on what I was doing and it was like I wasn't myself, but somebody else. I had gotten out of the car and stormed my way towards the woman and the baby. From where I was, the woman was at least over the hill and the baby looked a lot like me when I was that age. I saw the woman screaming at the quite baby and watched her throw it to the floor, from there the baby started screaming.
The woman reached into her back seat and came out with a bat; I started running toward the scene. She held the bat high and just as she was going to slam it against the helpless baby on the floor, I pushed her push over. I grabbed the bat and broke it against the woman's head; she was dead.
The crying baby never ceased as I slowly made my way towards it. It must have been a boy since it was clad in light blue clothing. I smiled and picked him up, humming sweet lullabies to the crying infant. He slowly stopped crying and looked up at me with watery eyes that shined brighter than the bright, white road.
The sound of a car was heard as it had pulled up next us. The infant in my arms and I looked over and saw the door of the car open, but the head lights were too bright to see who it was. The infant giggled and reached out towards the person "Da" it said. Suddenly the baby wasn't in my arms; I looked around myself for the baby, but stopped as I heard the giggle. I looked up only to be kissed by Nick, who had the baby in his arms. He pulled away and looked over to the dead woman.
"Nick?" I felt the words leave my mouth, but I heard nothing. Nick was now whispering things into the baby's ears with a smile; I couldn't hear anything. It was a loud silence before "Shit!"
"Shit!" I woke up in time, to stop myself from falling on the truck floor as the truck was pulled to a sudden halt. I gave a loud groan that was heard by the two boys in the front seats. They turned to me "You okay?" It was like a sound off. I nodded slowly. What a weird dream… I looked at my stomach …Then again…
"Come on; let's see what this is…" I heard Nick say. We got out of the truck and saw a muddy pit of rocks and grass in a ditch. "Is this it?" Dalton questioned. "Yeah." Nick said. I was so confused. "Should we drive through it, you think?" Dalton was being daring to risk Blake's truck. Nick and I were in disbelief "Through all that?" Nick scoffed.
"I don't know. I could do it." What a lie… Nick seemed to agree with me, but he wanted to test it out. He laughed before walking to the other side of the truck and handing Dalton the keys. Dalton started to have second thoughts "That's what I thought…" Nick claimed as he grabbed my hand and started walking towards the ditch.
"What are we doing?" I finally spoke. "Well, Sleeping Beauty, while you slept Blake decided that he wanted have sex with Paige so he's making us go get Carly and Wade; They're somewhere down this road." Nick explained. I nodded "Oh…"
When we reached the small town, we headed towards the gas station, where loud music was playing. Dalton went up to the glass door as Nick lingered behind with my hand still in his. "Hello?" Dalton opened the down and peeked around "Carly? Wade?" He came out of the door way "Man, there's music playing, but I don't think anyone's here…"
Nick looked up at the place "No one's here…" He pulled me along as he started walking away; I had a feeling we were forgetting something. "Where you going?" Dalton asked catching up to us. "To that grocery store we passed. I'm thirsty." I kept looking back at that gas station; my woman's intuition kicking in. "Well, what about your sister and Wade, man?" Nick didn't stop "Maybe they're at the store." He felt me pulling back and he heard the scuffing of Dalton's feet. He abruptly stopped and turned to us "What?" He was irritated.
"I don't know. We came all this way. You don't think we should look for them?" I tugged on Nick's hand. He looked at me and then sighed in defeat. "Check it. I'm gonna go this way. Go that way. We don't find them, we'll meet here, and go back to the road. Cool?" Now was my chance to talk to Dalton about what I heard in the car. "Okay."
Before we got anywhere away from each other, I grabbed Nick's head and kissed him deeply and just as he started to respond, I pulled away and went to Dalton. Both males were surprised "I'm gonna go with Dalton."
Nick looked extremely jealous "Fine." He spat before storming away and going towards the store. I pulled Dalton along with me. I was going to make it up to Nick, but first I had to confront Dalton.
Dalton walked next to me with his hands deep in his pockets and his head hanging down slightly. I rolled my eyes, boys were so emotional. We finally reached a crossroad between a road going to a church and a road going to a 'House of Wax'.
Dalton started walking to the House of Wax "Dalton, what are you doing? I'm not going anywhere near that place." I crossed my arms and stood firmly to where I was standing. "Well, are you going to stay here by yourself?" He started walking away. I looked at the eerie surroundings. I was going to kill Dalton times two.
When we reached the house the door held a closed sign. I showed Dalton, but he scoffed and proceeded to go into the unlocked house. Once inside, the place was covered in dust and cob webs. "Dalton, we're supposed to be looking for Carly and Wade, not playing doll house. Can we please go?" I was tugging away at his arm. He pulled away and continued to loudly ask for a presence. He walked over and touched a pair of waxed people "This is a weird place…" I huffed at him. Of course it's a weird place.
I followed him into other room "Wade, what the hell are you doing, man? We've been waiting for you at the camp site…" I walked passed the door way to see an extremely shiny Wade sitting at a piano. He wasn't moving.
"Wade?" Dalton reached over and pressed his finger against Wade's cheek and upon pressing too hard Wade's skin molded into a strange shape like wax would. Wade's eye looked over at us, but he was still motionless. I ran out of the room gagging. I leaned against a wall and tried to contain myself from throwing up, but my current state was too vulnerable though.
I heard a struggle coming from the room that I was currently in. I walked back in and screamed bloody murder when I saw Wade's jaw was skinned on one side. It was too much for me, so I passed out on the waxy floor.
