A way out
A/N: sorry for not updating in a while, my internet wasn't working which messed up other programs but it's fixed now.
Jake's POV
The closet was dark, I heard to people enter the house then go upstairs. I silently opened the door and ran out the front door. A quick glance at my surroundings and I was indeed in the 50's. "Jake, Benny's back so maybe he can help". "Alright Erica ask him if he knows a way to get out". "He said all you have to do is find the crack in there, it' usually in the sky". I looked up around and saw a thin white line. "Okay Erica I found the crack now what do I do?". "Now you need to… Benny stop". A few seconds later I didn't get a response, I figured there to busy canoodling. Okay so all I have to do is find it and then what?. I wandered around what was the 50's getting weird looks by everybody. The crack in the sky kept getting bigger making everything else dark. Eventually I couldn't see two feet in front of me. All of a sudden a bright light blinded me and when I opened my eyes I was outside Ethan's house. I opened the door and walked in; Erica looked in my direction then looked back at Benny. Okay Erica said, so how are we going to get him out of there, magic Benny replied. "Guys I'm right here" they didn't hear me or if they did they ignored me. I grabbed Erica and shook her which got her attention, I looked away for a second and looked back and she was in the same spot before like nothing happened. Erica then got up and walked right through me. Okay this is weird, I'm pretty sure I'm not dead right? I mean I can't be dead because I got sucked out of the board. I grabbed my phone and tried calling Erica which went to voicemail immediately like her phone wasn't on, but it was sitting right in front of me. I grabbed it and saw that the call never came through; she didn't block me at all, I got pissed so I threw it at the wall and it cracked. A second later it's in the same spot as it was before.
It's like I'm here but I'm not, like I'm a ghost. This is too weird but how do I fix this. Well at least I got 9 days left of spring break right, shit I can't even remember what's happening right now, or if I am still on spring break. I left Ethan's house after I heard Erica and Benny fighting, Erica was mainly yelling at Benny for me being stuck and him not doing anything but flirting with her. My room was quiet and dark so I just laid on my bed and fell asleep. The next morning my parents were upset because I disappeared. Erica was talking to the cops about what happened and they just brushed it off. Ethan and Benny joined in saying that was true. A month has gone by now and the police are borderline of giving up. I walked along the river when I noticed something odd. I found myself laying in the dirt perfectly covered but still able to breathe. First thing that came to mind, Erica equals help. Maybe since she was the last one to talk to me she can hear me. I ran to Erica's house and opened the door to her room. She was in the shower. I stepped into the bathroom. She was behind a curtain washing her hair. I said Erica out loud, and for a second I she stopped what she was doing and looked around. Then I tried screaming her name. Erica got out of the shower wrapped in a towel. She started asking if I was there. I screamed "Erica, go by the river and where the dirt is on the left side I'm there go get me". she then said "Umm Jake are you dead?". "Erica the dirt is sinking into the river, I'm trapped in it, if you don't get me out in time this maybe the last time I ever talk to you again and no I'm not dead but I guess you could say I'm on critical." A few minutes later I was sitting in the passenger seat of Erica's car. To her when I scream it sounds like I'm talking like normal, but when I talk normal it sounds like a whisper. For some reason she didn't ask why I was in the bathroom, but I guess since she hadn't heard from me in a month she didn't ask. Once we got there I ran to my body trying to pull it out of the dirt. My body was almost completely head to toe in dirt and water. I was screaming for Erica to come help. She finally got here and by then some local people were calling 911 because they said they found me. I or well, my body was transported to a hospital where they shocked me back to life. My hospital bill didn't cost anything because the people paid for it, feeling sorry for me. Which was a lot because I was in the hospital for a week. When I got out I went to Ethan's house and we threw away the board.
