A/N- Okay so, I got on today and saw I had three REALLY nice reviews, I got up and I did a jig. Haha. To answer 'Bitterly Adorable's' question, yes, I do base this kinda off 'The Immortals'. I like that series.
So, this chapter's pretty long. ENJOY, my loverlees! :-P
Chapter 2: Tuesday Getaway Plans
Cece's POV-
Deuce seemed shocked that I'd so suddenly hugged him. And do tightly too. I just couldn't help it. I'd never been so relieved. I'm not a freak, and more importantly...
I'm not alone.
Suddenly, Deuce's eyes lit up. "Cece?" He asked.
"Yep?" I replied, curiously.
"There's this clubhouse thing in the forest. You follow the path about halfway. You soon arrive to a cherry tree and you take a left there. Not far from that you arrive to the clubhouse."
"Wow, sounds cool, Deuce! But, why are you telling me?" I asked.
"Well, I was wondering..."
"Yea?"
"Maybe every... Tuesday! Every Tuesday after school, since you have nothing for the show that day... we can meet up there. But not tell anyone. Nobody knows about it but you and me, so don't talk about it. Sound cool?" He said, in a rush, clearly nervous.
I blushed at the fact that he trusted me with his secret place. "That's a great idea Deuce! And nobody will cancel, ever, right?" I asked, remembering how my 'dad' used to always cancel on my mom because he was with some other girl.
"Of course not! I promise." He checked his watch. "Uh, oh."
"What is it?"
"I have an appointment with a customer in five! I gotta go!" He exclaimed.
I chuckled. "Alrighty, then. EVERY Tuesday after school, eh?"
He smiled, nodded, then ran off quickly. I smiled.
Good Ol' Deuce, I thought.
Rocky's POV-
I went home and finished my homework. Too easy. It only took me about twenty minutes.
Then, I climbed into the Jones' window. "Hey, hey, hey!" I called, expecting to find Cece struggling over an alegbra equation.
Instead I saw eight year old Flynn, helping himself to a carton of mint ice-cream.
"Where's Cece?" I asked, suspiously.
He rolled his eyes. "Great, it's you. Anyway, I don't know where Cece is, sorry I couldn't help ya. Why don't you just scurry off Roquelle?" He said, using my full name to irritate me.
"It's Rocky, you know that. And no, I'm not leaving just yet, Flynn. Where's your mom then?"
"Working."
"Cece left you alone?" I asked, in disbelief.
"It sure looks that way, doesn't it?" He said, sarcastically.
"Why didn't you call me? You have a home phone!"
He sighed. "Do I have to sit here and play twenty questions all night? Can't you be productive and make me some bacon?"
"I'll ask the questions here little dude!" I exclaimed.
"Alright, alright. I didn't call you because I wanted some 'Flynn Time'. I never seem to get any." He replied, irritated.
"I know buddy, but it doesn't work that way when you're eight, okay?" I said, seriously, to get the point across.
"I know, I know. Sorry." He said, defeated.
"We have to find your sister somehow. I see her phone on the counter. So, we can't call her. But we need to FIND her."
"How? I have no idea where she is. You have no idea where she is..."
"Maybe someone else does..." I said, in thought.
Cece's POV-
I realized the truth. The facts. I'm... lost. After Deuce left, I wandered into the woods hoping to figure out where the clubhouse was for the future. I sighed. What to do? I know! I'll use my cell phone to call Flynn and he'll...
I then realized two more fact. One, I don't have my phone. Two, poor Flynn! I forgot I was supposed to babysit him! OH NO! He's home all alone.
I suddenly picked up the pace. I need to get to Flynn, I need to get to Flynn! I was looking all around for a place to get out. But, apparently I wasn't paying close enough attention to the ground, and fell right into a ditch!
I cried out as I fell. My ankle cracked. I cried again, this time in pain. I looked at my ankle, and threw up inside my mouth. It was twisted at a pretty odd angle. Ugh. How can this get any worse?
"Help! Ouch. HELP! Owww... HELP! PLEASE! HELP! OUUCH!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
Rocky's POV-
I picked up my phone and started calling anyone that could possibly have seen or been with Cece.
"Hello Gunther. Have you or Tinka seen Cece since after school?" I asked, pleadingly.
"No, Rocky. Of course not. In case you haven't noticed, Cece and I don't, how you say, 'hang out' But if you require assistance I'm sure Tinka and I can squeeze you in our busy schedule." He said cockily, in his accent.
"Ty? Hi. Have you seen Cece since after the show?" I asked, panicked.
"Nope. Sorry lil' sis. But, I'll definitaly help you find her."
"Dina. Hi, it's Rocky. Have you seen, heard from or ANYTHING from Cece since we got home from school?" I blurted out, desperate, then stopped. "Wait, Dina, are you... crying?" I asked. Never thought I'd see the day.
"Yea, Rocky, I am. Deuce dumped me about a half hour ago. Don't have any idea why."
"Oh my... Well, tell you what. You help me find Cece, I'll hook the two of you back up."
"Deal, Rocky. Thanks a bunch. Hey, did you try calling people on your contact list. Maybe she met up with someone?" Dina says.
"Yea. I've tried every possible person... except one. Okay, I'll text you Dina. I think I know who can help us."
Cece's POV-
It's an entire hour later, and nobody's come to my rescue. I'm starting to lose hope, though I continue screaming. Why does no one hear me? Why can't I move.
I guess my ankle's pretty bad. OWWWWWW!
"HELP!" I scream so loud, that my throat hurts. I start crying. I wish Deuce were here. He'd wipe away the tears and tell me it'll be alright.
Suddenly, I hear footsteps coming up the path. I don't know whether to be worried or relieved.
Deuce's POV-
HOW HAD I BEEN STUPID ENOUGH TO LET CECE STAY NEAR THE FOREST ALL ALONE? AND WHY HAD SHE GONE IN?
Rocky and Dina glared at me the whole time we walked. Tinka held Flynn's hand, though at first he had resisted. Gunther chatted about 'the old country'. I knew the only reason Rocky brought them was for extra help. And I know the only reason Gunther and Tinka bothered was because, deep down, they care. Ty held a compass and map and tried to keep track of how to get back and stuff.
Rocky looked at me, furiously. "You're so stupid Deuce! SO stupid!"
"I know, I know. And, Rocky, I am so sor-" I started, but was cut off by screaming.
"PLEASE HELP ME! PLEASE! I AM HURT! PLEASE!" I recognized Cece's voice, though it was cracked and interuppted by several sobs.
Rocky and Dina started running, but I was way ahead of them. Soon enough we reached a ditch.
Cece was curled up in a ball. She was crying heavily. She looked up.
"Help! My ankle. OWWWW! Deuce! Help!" She exclaimed.
I went down to comfort her, while Tinka and Gunther stayed back watching Flynn. Dina dialed the police, and Rocky dialed Cece's mom and her own mom. Ty watched carefully, waiting for when anyone needed help.
I watched Flynn. He was watching his sister, in pain, while she cried. I knew it was coming as Flynn suddenly burst out in tears himself.
Cece looked up, clearly not used to her little sarcastic brother crying. "It's okay buddy. I'm going to be alright..." She said, though she sounded unsure.
He frowned, but eventually stopped crying. "But..." He said.
Cece flinched at the pain. "But what sweetie?" Cece said, trying hard not to cry out in pain. I could see in her eyes how much pain she was in.
"But you won't be happy anymore... because... you can't dance for months! Without you dancing, Gary will just fire you! And you'll be sad, and... and..." He said, crying again.
Awww... poor Flynn. He like, never cries!
That's when Cece gasps as she recalls that she can't dance. Then, she can't hold it in anymore and starts to sob again, causing Flynn to cry harder.
Tinka looks at Flynn. "Hey, hun, vhy don't ve go for a walk?" She says, sweetly in her accent. Wow, I'm seeing a new side of everybody!
Flynn resists leaving his sister for a few moments, then finally gives in. Tinka, Flynn, Ty, and Gunther set off on a walk to calm Flynn.
Cece's POV-
I am, officialy, a freak. Without dancing I will have... nothing.
Without dancing I will be nothing!
