Chapter Twelve

He Didn't Give Me A Key

After my phone went out, I went to put it back on my dresser. Then I came back out and I passed Jack, "Hey, would you mind getting me a bottle of rum?"

"If I say no, will I have to do it anyway?"

"Yes," he said with a smile on his face.

"Fine, but what do I get in return?" I asked.

"Uhmmmm…I never thought about it?" he said rubbing his chin.

"Well, think about it now."

"You can have a kiss from me!"

"I'll pass on that, I will just go without a reward!" I said walking off.

When I got to the rum seller I let the door close behind me and I heard a light little click. I knew what it was. It was the sound of the door locking. I quickly turned around and tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. "HELP!!!" I kept screaming even though I knew it was no use. The walls were sound proof. So, I just sat there, and sat, and did I do anything else? I am trying to remember uhmmm…NO! I just sat!!! It was so boring!!! I looked at my watch every one and a while and noticed it had been five hours of JUST SITTING THERE. But no need for anyone to worry!!! I was fine!!! I wonder if anyone was worrying? You would think someone would have found me in FIVE hours!!! By now I was getting hungry and tired. So to take my mind off all this I decided to take a short nap.

Well, turns out, Peter had been freaking out and looking for me everywhere. Finally he asked Jack where I might be and Jack said he hadn't seen me since he asked me to get a bottle of rum.

"Stupid! Did you give her a key?!?!?" He asked Jack very annoyed.

"No, why?"

"BECAUSE THAT DOOR LOCKS FROM THE INSIDE IF IT CLOSES!!! THAT IS WHY!!!" he yelled.

Then he ran up to the seller and opened the door and saw me asleep. But he didn't know I was asleep. He thought I had fainted (again). So he gently poked me to see if I would wake up. And I didn't. he also didn't know I was a heavy sleeper. So he picked me up and took me to my room (again) and set me on the bed. This is when I woke up. "What are we doing here?" I asked him.

"You fainted again."

"No I didn't. I fell asleep because I got tired of sitting in the rum seller for five hours! Jack asked me to get a bottle of rum and the door locked and I noticed it was a sound proof room and then…then…you know all this don't you?"

"Yeah, I was just waiting for you to notice."

"Hey, I think it is raining," I said smiling.

"What are you smiling about?" he asked starting to smile.

"Oh, nothing!" I said getting up. "Just that you are going lose to a girl!" Then I started running to the deck.

"No, I'm not!!!" he said running right behind me.

"Yes, you did!!!" I said laughing. I beat him. Now we were soaking wet from the rain, and we were just running around, in the rain, like little kids. It was fun.
