Also I would just like to clarify, Selena isn't really fat, but Massie is just telling her that to scare her into a diet. Intense right? Poor Selena...
JFK Airport,
Monday, 10:30 a.m.
New York, New York
" And so then I was calling a cab right? And then this guy comes up to me and is like, ' You are so hot!' And I'm like, 'No way!' and he is like ' Yes way!'... I know! And so then I was like,' OMG! I totally think you are hot too! And then he is like, 'Lets go out sometime!'... yes way! I know right? So anyway..." Some annoying dumb blond was droning on her cell phone while they circled the runway at the airport. Massie could hardly listen to this blond keep telling each one of her friends about the same story where some guy told her she was hot and now they are meeting each other in some bar. Big whoop! Omg! Its not like Massie hadn't been asked out like that plenty of times. But this idiot was obviously an EW and LBR. How tragic.
She turned to her side and looked at Claire, who was waking up a sleepy and hungry Selena. Why did Claire get to sit next to an adorable sleeping little girl, while she was stuck next to some annoying dumb blond who literally needed abstinence against her cell phone. To Massie's relief, a flight attendant told the person next to her to put away her phone, and get ready to get off the plane. Claire leaned over the isle. "How are you doing? Are you excited to finally be back home?" Massie rolled her eyes. "Claire what part of EVERY PLACE IN THE WORLD IS MASSIE BLOCK'S HOME!!" Claire giggled and shrugged as they grabbed their purses and coats, and got off the plane with Selena trailing them. "I don't know, you know I was thinking the whole time that maybe this is a set up or something, but then I told myself to get over it and that I was probably paranoid." Claire said thoughtfully as they strutted into baggage claim.
Claire looked around frantically for Griffin and Derrick, while Massie asked some guy to grab all of her "heavy" suitcases. To Claire's relief, she found Griffin, and Derrick leaning against the wall of Starbucks looking around for the girls, as some random woman would try to flirt with them. When Claire waved to them, Griffin started towards the girls to help them with their baggage. He had his black hair in a Jason Dolley shag, his eyes were still that intense green color, his skin was still flawless, and pale, and his lips were still full. He was the same height as Claire; 5'9, and he was slender. Claire had only ever told Massie, but she had always secretly liked guys to be slender and really thin, but not anorexic. She thought that they were cute. He was over skinny jeans, (thank gawd!) and he was now wearing regular Diesel Jeans, and a red and white shirt that advertised a punk band that Claire had no idea how to pronounce.
As Griffin approached, Claire's heart suddenly started to so flips, and she felt a little sick to her stomach. Did she like him as more than a friends? Maybe I should just go help that poor guy that Massie recruited carry the bags until my heart calms down. Too late. "Hey Claire. Wow you look really different! The last time I saw you, you and Kristen were in Paris!" Claire smiled nervously. "Oh it wasn't that long ago! It was like, what... a week ago?" Griffin laughed. Selena and Massie had just come back from the bathroom. Claire watched Massie's face tighten when she saw Derrick in all of his jeans and muscle shirt glory. Selena sleepily wandered over to Claire and grabbed her purse. "Mommy can I see what you have in here?" Griffin and Derrick looked surprised to see Selena so dressed up and well groomed. "M-mommy? Why does she call you that?" Derrick asked as he bent down and came face to face with Selena. Claire shrugged. Selena looked at Derrick and stared. "Hi Jodi! Do you remember me? I'm Derrick your daddy's friend." Selena started to glare at Derrick. Massie snickered. "I hate you. Go away!" She said as she clung to Massie and Claire. Derrick slowly stood up and half smiled at her. She stuck her tongue out at him. Griffin and Claire rolled their eyes.
"So Selena are you hungry?" Griffin asked kindly. Who knew such a bad boy like him could be so sweet? Selena loosened her grip on the girls legs, and nodded. Claire smiled. "Auntie Massie will you carry me?" Derrick and Griffin exchanged a worried glance. "Well you see Selena, maybe thats not such a good idea. Massie doesn't really like to have people on her-" Derrick started, but was cut off by Massie. "Sure hop on up. How about we play explorer ok? I'm the horse and you are the rider. And we are looking for a yummy place to stop and eat." Selena clapped her hands happily. "Yay! I love that game! Now I'm going to name you... Miffy. Just like that Swedish rabbit that we saw in Tokyo! Now lay down Miffy so I can get on." Derrick and Griffin were bewildered when Massie knelt down on the dirty floor, and Selena hopped up. Massie stood, and ran ahead with Selena to look for a place to eat.
Claire, Griffin, and Derrick stayed behind and watched. Derrick shook his head incredulously. "Who would have thought that Massie Block would be giving a five year old kid a piggy back ride, and letting her name her Miffy after a Swedish rabbit in Tokyo. Amazing." Claire giggled while Griffin slapped Derrick's arm. "There are a lot things that you don't know obviously!" Griffin yelled. Claire giggled. "You guys are too funny. So what are we gonna do when we get home?" Derrick was suddenly quiet and stared ahead at Massie. Griffin stared at his shoes guiltily. Claire sensed the tenseness in the air. "Whats going on?" Griffin looked up at Claire sadly. "Claire I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Claire's smile disappeared. She suddenly became frantic. "Sorry for what?! Griffin what are you talking about?!" Griffin and Derrick both remained silent until they arrived at Griffin's black Mustang convertible.
Everyone was silent on the car trip to the city except for Massie and Selena who were playing various games in the back seat. Claire kept glancing a Griffin and Derrick to find a clue of what they were sorry about, but all she saw was emotionless boredom. When they arrived in Claire neighborhood, Claire began to gather her stuff and get out, but Griffin grabbed her wrist. "No. You aren't leaving yet. We have to stop somewhere first." Griffin pulled Claire back down into the leather seat. Claire's eyes were wide with panic, and curiosity. Massie stopped playing a game with Selena in the back seat and stared at Griffin and Derrick angrily. "Where are you taking us?" Massie said in a firm voice. Derrick looked away and Griffin sighed. "We need to show you something before leave." Massie's hard cold stare got even more intense. "Thats not what I asked you! I asked where you are taking us!" Massie had now raised her voice, and Selena's face slowly got worried and scared. Griffin didn't answer her, he just simply hit the gas and speed off.
Claire was now in a trance. What was going on?! Massie's voice was now urgent. "Griffin whats happening?! Where are you taking us?! What are you doing?!" Selena suddenly burst into tears and Claire held her while Massie looked around in a panic for an escape. Derrick was wedged up against one door, and Griffin had the front seat covered with all of his CDs piled up against the door. Their only other option was to jump out of the door with Selena. And Massie wasn't going to risk that.
Suddenly Griffin locked all of the doors in the car, and closed all of the windows, and put up the roof to the convertible. Selena sobbed harder. Massie banged her hand on the back of Griffin's seat. "Griffin stop the car! Griffin please stop! Please! Selena is scared. So is Claire! You have to stop!" Derrick grabbed Massie's hand and roughly flicked it off of the seat. Massie looked at him straight in the eye. He had suddenly realized what he had just done, and was looking at his hands in horror. "B-Block I'm sorry, I-I don't know what happened..." Derrick trailed off. Massie looked at him with her mouth hanging open, and looked as if she was going to cry. She looked away quickly, so that Derrick wouldn't see the obvious hurt in her eyes. Massie looked at Griffin's face through the mirror. He looked sad, but still focused. Sweat was trickling down his face, and his shaggy black hair was slicked to his forehead. A few veins in his neck and forehead were bulging with either anger or concentration.
Massie looked at the whimpering Selena, and the terrified Claire. This. could. not. be. happening.
Yayy! Cliffy! Are they being set up? Captured? Or is Griffin seriously just taking them somewhere to show them something? Its all possible! Sorry for the short, sucky chapter.
