Nothing feels better than resting it off in swaddled warm. I was sound sleeping peacefully in my bed all warm in my blankets I could hear my sisters muffled snoring in her bed as she slumbered. The sun was shining in my eyes and I covered myself with my pillow to block it all out. I hear the door open and some heavy steps walk inside.
I feel someone rock me and wake me up "Jo Jo darling wake up?"
"Oh mum please fIve more mInuets" I mumble In my sleep.
"Jo dear get up please"
"Please mum I just wanna sleep today"
"ClaudIa Bluebury open your eyes thIs second" That voIce sounded demandIng and scared me a bIt.
I open one eye to look Into the eyes of another "Daddy!" I asked rubbing my eyes
"Get up I and come downstairs" He says all excited
"Why?" I grumble still very tired.
"Don't ask questions just come downstairs!" He walks away with that.
I yawn and carry out of bed and stroll downstairs in my nightclothes. I was still half-asleep before I walked downstairs and...
I got blasted with loud noise that made me jump wide awake "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" My Dad, Joelle and Juliet all gave me a shock.
"Aah!" I screamed with joy "What's all this for?" I asked smiling, today was my birthday but this I hadn't even thought to expect
"You're 18 now sis so we threw you this party!" Joelle smiled hugging me. "And it's not over yet" Jo leads me into the garden and
"SURPRISE!" Everyone else surprises me with a party, balloons and confetti went everywhere and there was big cake and everything.
"Wow this is so incredible" I smiled. The party was so great I got a lot of nice presents from everyone and a lot of attention, I was a sucker for attention. It didn't even bother me I had stayed in my nightclothes the whole time I was having such a great time to worry about that.
The party ended and everyone went back to the garden while we stayed to clean up the mess. "Thanks for the party Juliet" I thanked her
"Oh this was really your dad's idea?" She admits.
"Where is dad?" I hadn't seen him much at the party
"Jo!" I look behind me to who called my name and see Dad walking towards us. "Come here I've got something to show you" He smiles taking my arm
"What is it?"
"You'll see" He covers my eyes and leads me off.
"Daddy can't you just tell me what you got me" I giggled
"You'll see" He snickered and stopped me "Okay look!"
"AAAAAHHH!" I screamed looking at it.
Daddy had gotten me a brand new Digital video camera, a new iPhone and that really expensive fashion designer dress I had been begging for for months now.
"Like it?" He asked "They cost me a fortune but it was worth it for you!"
"Thank you Daddy you're the best" I screamed kissing him hard on the cheek.
I went to go try on my dress it fit perfectly "You look beautiful in it!" Dad compliments.
"I love it Daddy thank you so much!" I hugged him too hard I was squeezing.
"Your welcome you deserved it!" He says holding me closer.
I hang it up in my closet for a special occasion and smiled, so far this birthday was going better than I had hopped.
"Jo phone for you!" Dad calls
"Coming!" I run downstairs to the phone
"Hello!" I answer it was my friends calling with a very important Birthday message to me. "What no way!" I got over excited.
"Who is it!?" Dad asks.
"Uh I gotta take this!" I say excitedly and raced up to my room for privacy.
...
Later that day after all the party stuff was cleaned up Gnomeo and Joelle were sitting on the couch and Juliet was reading a nice book. Jo had been out of sight of them for hours now and Gnomeo was getting suspicious.
"Jo's been locked in her room for hours!"
"Last I checked she was talking to her friends on the phone!" Joelle says smiling.
"She spends way too much time on that thing!"
"She a teenage girl Gnomeo that's what they do" Juliet says going back to her book.
A few moments later a voice was heard "Dad!" Jo called from upstairs
Gnomeo called back "Yeah!?"
"I was just wondering...is it okay If I go out with my friends tonight?"
"Tonight?"
She nods "Yeah they wanted to take me out for my birthday"
"Where?"
"It's a surprise but they said it's somewhere fun"
"Can I come?" Joelle asks
"Uh...
"Joelle sweetie I think Jo just wants to hang with her friends tonight" Juliet chimes in and Jo nods in agreement
"Yeah sorry sis maybe tomorrow we can hang out!"
Joelle sighs and smiles "Ok"
"So dad can I go with my friends please?"
"Of course you can!"
"Yay! Thanks I love you Daddy!" She calls running back to her room.
Gnomeo rolled his eyes and chuckled "Girls" He sighed
Overhearing that Juliet looks up from her book "What's that suppose to mean?" she eyes him
"Nothing!" Gnomeo looks at her "Don't you have a book to read!" He mocks making her rolls her eyes at him.
Nighttime...
It was dinnertime in the garden and everyone was cleaning up to eat all the good food Juliet prepared for them.
"Mmmm smells Delicious mother" Joelle compliments
"Thank you!"
Gnomeo was looking at the clock every few seconds "Gnomeo you seem very distracted?" Juliet notices
"I thought Jo was suppose to be going out with her friends?" He asks
"She is she's upstairs getting dressed" Joelle buts in
"For this long!"
"You know her she wants to look, flashy!" Joelle emphasis giggling.
Jo pov
Tonight was gonna be a glorious night just me and my best friends out for my 18 birthday party. Oh I couldn't wait for the night to come, I spent a lot of time getting washed and ready before my friends got here.
"Oh whatever shall I wear?" I tore through my closet trying on every different outfit I had but nothing worked.
"Oh I need one outfit for tonight, Just one" I kept looking until I found the most perfect dress I had, it was cute but it could be a lot more cute.
"Hmmmm?" I walked to my dresser and pulled out a pair of big thick scissors and laid my dress on the empty space.
"Time for a little remodeling" I smirked getting my fashion on.
...
It was about that time for Jo to be out on her big birthday night. A small car pulled up to the garden blowing and the people inside were calling out "JO!"
"C'MON GIRL THE NIGHT'S AWAITING!"
From inside a certain girl was being lookout "Sis your friends are here!" Joelle calls but there was no answer. "Jo!?"
Gnomeo huffed a little "Jo where are you?" He shouts.
"Ok! I'm coming!" She shouts back rather snappy.
"It's not nice to keep people waiting for you"
"I'll be down in a second"
"*Scoffs* Yeah she said that a good half hour ago"
"Oh Gnomeo!" Juliet rolls her eyes
They start to hear footsteps walking downstairs and a very high voice call out. First coming down was a pair of black heels followed by pale long legs and a curved body flashing in the light.
"Here I am!" Jo came down wearing this super cute but way too short purple dress with sparkles, it showed her shoulders and her back, really the only thing it covered was her chest down to her hips and her legs were just sporting high heel shoes. She had her hair pulled up with curls and she had big red lips.
Gnomeo's jaw dropped wide "Oh my gosh!" he said horrified
"You like it?" She said turning around like a model
"You look hot sis! somebody call the fire department cause we got a girl on fire here" Joelle joked around making them both laugh.
Jo walked to the bottom of the stairs with Juliet "You look beautiful!" Juliet compliments.
"Thanks well I'm going out" Jo grabs her purse on the way to the door.
"Wait a second!" Gnomeo pulls her back with a glare
Jo gives him a confused look "Is there a problem Dad?"
"Is there a problem?" He asked seriously "Hmm Is there a problem? Oh what's the word I'm looking for let me think...Oh yeah, YES THERE'S A PROBLEM!"
Jo gets shocked "What?"
"This!" He points to her skimpy outfit. "You aren't going anywhere dressed like that!"
"Why not?!" Jo puts her hands on her hips.
"That's too revealing for my daughter to go parading around in"
"Oh Daddy" Jo rolled her eyes
"Don't 'oh daddy' me, go upstairs and change"
Jo eyes him and shakes her head "No! I don't want to" She sassed him and turns her back.
Gnomeo turns her back around t face him "I wasn't asking you I'm telling you!"
"And I'm telling you I don't want to change! I spent a lot of time picking this out"
"Gnomeo she looks fine" Juliet says calmly
"She looks like a tramp!" Gnomeo protests, offending her a little bit but they just kept eyeing each other "Either you go change or you're staying home!"
Joelle turned her back on him refusing to change her clothes "I'm 18 now you can't tell me what do to anymore!"
"Go to your room!" He demands Joelle just stood there huffing
"NO!"
Gnomeo got shocked and mad "What did you say to me?!"
"You heard me, NO!" She yells in his face.
Gnomeo got a bit red but then let it go "Alright fine!" He said in a calm tone. Suddenly he grabs her arms and pulls her upstairs by force
"Dad let go me go!" Jo struggled to free herself but his grip was too strong.
"You're not the boss of me anymore!"
Gnomeo laughed sarcastically at that "I strongly beg to differ" He eyed and yanked her arm harder
He opens the room door and shoves her inside "Ah!" She hit the floor of her room scrapping herself.
"You can come out of here when you learn some respect"
Jo looks back at him with anger "I hate you!"
Gnomeo glared harder "Well that makes two of us!" He slammed the door on her, Jo ran to it but he locked it already.
Jo Banged and kicked the door hard "I HATE YOU AAAAHHH!" She screamed throwing a tantrum
Gnomeo banged the door back "Throw a tantrum all you want it's not gonna change!" Jo began yelling back at him but he just ignored everything she said.
Juliet came up to him "You realize you just made this worse than it needs to be right?" she says eyeing him
"*Scoffs*Whatever she just as stubborn as her mother was!" Gnomeo said walking away.
Jo pov
I couldn't believe he just locked me in here. He can't keep treating me like a baby he hasn't even been in my life that long it's only been a few months since we met and he's already treating me like I'm a baby.
I jumped on my bed messing up the sheets "I can't believe him he never treats Joelle this way" I huffed. "I'm an adult he doesn't own me anymore! He never even knew me until a few months ago"
I looked at the window watching it blow in my curtains. I looked from the door to the window and gasped "So why should I even listen to him?!" A smirk grew on my face. I opened up the window and climbed up to the rooftop it was a beautiful night for my birthday and I was going to enjoy it.
I walked over to the tree and shoot myself over to the brick wall along the fence. I scurried across it so gracefully, even in heels and jumped onto the fence hopped over it and stuck the landing.
"Oh yeah! I am smooth!" I said fixing my dress.
I carried off into the night to enjoy myself now as a fully realized adult gnome girl. I waked out the gate to the alley it was dark except for a really bright light shinning in my face.
"Whoa can we shade the light please!" I call out laughing.
"Jo over here!" I see 2 figures walk from the light to me making me smile.
"Holly! Willa!" I cried running to them. Holly and Willa were my best friends ever since I started high school with my sister as a Junior. Willa was my bestie she was my height with a ginger hat over her short mocha hair and a long flowing white party dress on. Holly was my second bestie but also like my wing girl she and I did so many sports together in school she was slender with golden curls, a blue hat like me and a salmon pink dress on.
"Sorry I'm late!" I apologize
"No problem but girl do you look Hot!" Willa smiles
"Thanks!" I said switching my hips around laughing.
"Ready for a nights out!" Holly smiles
"You know it I'm 18 and ready to live" I announce as we all group hug and pile into Willa's convertible.
It wasn't long before we made it to a small little night club with blasting music I could hear even from outside in the parking lot. Me and the Girls piled out
"This is where we're going?" I asked
"Yep!"
"Oh I thought maybe we were just going to a movies or something"
"Jo we can go to the movies anytime, you're 18 now you need an 18 year old night out!" Holly says dragging me alongside her.
The Valley stopped us at the door but Willa easily got us inside. The whole place was like a never-ending party filled with loud music, dancing and loads of drinks and no kiddie things in sight.
We sat down at a both for three as I continued to look around me "Oh so this is what a high society mingle is like" I mumble
"I know awesome right?" Willa shrieked.
"I'll say!" Holly said
"Well what are we waiting for, Lets do this thing!" I stand up but then feel myself get pulled back down.
"Ah ah ah first things first..." Holly turned around and grabbed 3 glasses from the waiter that walked by "We drink!" she hands us each a glass of wine.
I smell and then cringe "Gee I don't think I should drink!" I said hesitant.
"You're 18! your an adult now just one little taste" Willa said sipping on hers with Holly. I was a little unsure but I didn't want the girls to think I was chicken either, I take a long sip and swallow it down.
"Eh!" The taste was bitter how does my Dad drink this stuff all the time "It's not very tasteful!" I say smiling nervously.
"You get use to it!" Willa says drinking.
"Here try this red wine, much tastier!" Holly poured red wine in my glass, I sip and lick my lips "Huh that is much better!" I grin slurping it all down and let out a small burp.
The girls laugh "Here's to being an adult" Willa says holding up her glass. Willa and I laugh and follow her.
"Cheers!" We clink and drink.
After about an hour I had gone through 5 tall glasses of red wine and a margarita, I slowly developed an addiction to it and I liked it.
I was pouring my second margarita before I felt a hand on me "Ok I think you've had enough!" Holly says
"Really cause I feel fine!" I said taking the last of my margarita and burping afterwards
"Anyone else getting hungry?" Holly asked
"Nope just bored!" Willa sighs still drinking.
"Hey you girls wanna dance?" I say standing up
"Sure" We all set our empty glasses down and walk to the Dance floor.
The place was packed but we knew the trick to get through a dance floor you gotta dance. We stood side by side dancing, bumping side to side ad acting wild like young adults would do. Willa and I were dancing right next to each other she bumped me in the side as I feel backwards onto Holly screaming.
"Whoops sorry girls"
"No problem!" We say standing up still dancing.
I sneak away from the girls dancing and head over to the bar stools "Tall drink please"
"Make that 3 tall glasses please" I heard Holly's voice as she and Willa appeared beside me and we all laughed.
As we were sitting there facing the crowd drinking, Suddenly these 2 boys came up one was tall with soft black spiked hair and party shades and the other was just about my height with Hazel eyes, straight short brown hair and freckles. They just kept staring at us and it made us feel awkward "Uh...Can we help you?" I say breaking the silence.
"Hey what are you're names?" One asked smirking.
The girls weren't talking so I guess I would say something "I'm Jo short for..."
"No not you...you're friends!" The other said I rolled my eyes and huffed
The girls began to giggle and finally spoke "I'm Holly"
"And I'm Willa"
"Well I'm Eli" He grabs Willa's hand
"And I'm Kenneth!" He takes Holly's hand as both girls giggle.
"Would you two like to go someplace quiet and talk?"
Both of them looked at each other "Us!?" They say and then looked at me
I smiled "You four go on"
"You sure we don't want to leave you alone" Willa said
"No it's fine I could use the alone time you girls have fun!"
"Well..If you're sure" They both hug me and walk off with the guys. I sigh and turn around facing the bar drinking more drinks.
I felt a tap to my shoulder "Uh Excuse me" I heard a male voice, I turn and see a tall Blonde with nice green eyes and a muscular body looking at me.
"Oh Hello there" I say smiling
He grinned "May I sit next to you?" He asks
"Sure if you want!" I say as he sits down as I just focus back on my drink.
"Sorry was I disturbing you?" He asks.
"No no not at all, I was just here alone" I say with a nervous tone.
"I know It's just, I saw you over here all alone and thought Hey you look like you need someone to talk too" He laughs and I laugh too.
"Actually my friends are here but they went off with their 'dates'" I quote with a smile.
"And you're dateless?"
I shrug "Kinda"
"That's a bummer cause you're very pretty" He said leaning closer to me
I started to blush "Thanks!"
"I'm Colon by the way" He offers his hand
I smile and shake it "Joelle but you can call me Jo!"
He smiles "Jo would you like to go and talk?"
"That's sound nice" I grin. He takes my hand and walks me to a small two person table in the corner where we just talk and talk and drink and eat the snacks left on the little basket
"Wow we have a lot in common
"I know! you're a really cool guy"
"Same to a cool girl like you" He said.
"This sure has been one of my better birthdays" I sigh
"Oh it's you're birthday?" He asks and I nod "Well here's a little present" He gives me a kiss on the hand like a gentleman
"Oh well thank you" I laugh
"Hey listen if you're not busy tomorrow would you like too..."
"Meet up again yes I would! Where and when?"
"Well I was thinking..."
"JO!" I hear Holly scream my name and then it stopped
I turn back to Colon "Sorry you were saying"
"Well..."
"JO!" They call me again and I get a bit embarrassed
I look to Colon with a nervous grin "Heh will you excuse me a second"
"No sweat I gotta make a restroom break BRB" He says as we part ways.
I make my way through the dance floor dancing my way across trying to find my friends "Holly, Willa"
"Jo!"
"Willa?"
"Jo over here!" From the crowd I could see Willa jumping up and down like mad over the group. I push my way through and towards the end I finally see the girls at the far corner.
"Holly Willa" I wave my hand to get their attention
"JO!" They race to my side
"Okay what's the..." They suddenly rush behind me like they were hiding themselves
"What are you girls doing?"
"Ssshh don't move!"
"Why?"
"Do you see Kenneth and Eli?"
I look up and around "No but..."
"Come here!" They take my arms and drag me away and into a dark corner
"There we're safe"
"Alright are you two gonna tell me what's up of"
"Shut up for a second!" Holly screams and then they both cling to me "You have to help us!" They panicked
"With what?"
"Kenneth and Eli"
"What about them?"
"You have to get them away from us!" Willa shouts
"Because..."
"We can't stand them!"
I look at them "Could I have more description please?!"
They both groan and roll their eyes "Ok when we left to talk to them, it all started out nice and fun us just having a decent conversation" Holly explains "Then all of a sudden they just started going on and on bragging about themselves giving us headaches!" Holly says rubbing her head
"Then they started acting like pigs grabbing all on us and stuff!" Willa cringed "Ugh it was disgusting!"
"Then what!"
"They got up to go to the bathroom and we knew we had to come find you"
"Okay so just don't go back to them"
"We can't do that they'll find us!" Willa shrieked.
"We need to get out of here" They start pulling on my arms but I pull back
"I can't leave! I met this really great guy and I think I might have a shot with him" I explain smiling
"Ok so you have a guy and we hate our guys!"
I roll my eyes "Look can't you just put up with them for few more minuets!?"
"NO!" They both snapped
"Well I can't just leave Colon he's waiting for me"
"Well we can't hang with those guys anymore, do you want to be the witness to a murder cause that's what'll happen if I have to go back to listening to Eli go on about himself again" Willa snapped.
"Girls chill I'll think of something"
"Well make it quick!" Holly says looking back to the crowd where the guys were. "Oh if we have to go back to them I'm gonna end up singing like a caged bird"
"Sing?" I gasped "That's it! Holly you just gave me an Idea! Singing is the key"
"HUH?" They gave me confused looks
"You know how all the great song artists make songs to describe how they feel about other?" They nod staying with me so far "Why don't you girls sing a song for the guys to let them know how you're really feeling!" I said with a smirk
"OOOHHH!" They smirk too following what I'm saying
"And I know just the song!" I whisper putting my plan into action.
"Alright girls you know what to do so get on up there" I instruct/
"This is gonna be so choice" Holly giggles skipping away with Willa
I roll my eyes playfully and go back to my seat still waiting for Colon to get back, but as I wait I did see two guys walk up to me.
"Hey you seen Willa and Holly around here?" Kenneth asked me
I lean on the table and shrug "I don't know gosh, they could be anywhere by now...Bathroom, Japan, Italy" I babble on until something gets all our attention.
"Attention everyone!"
"Or right there on stage! HOLLY WILLA!" I wave to them and they wave back and so do the guys
"Ok! this little song goes to two boys out there whom and we want them to know our true feelings about them" Willa says winking at me and I wink at them
"Two boys that could mean you both!" I say wrapping my arms to them both
"Oh they want to sing us a song!" Eli smiled
"Yeah to express how they really feel about you guys"
"Let's get up closer to see them better"
"And I advise you listen to them too, Listen well" I whisper to them. They walk off to the the stage as I give the girls the signal and they wink back confirming. I sit down in my chair drink and get ready to watch the show.
(Holly)
Why am I always hit on the boys I never like?
I can always see 'em coming from the left and from the right
(Willa)
I don't wanna be a priss, I'm just trying to be polite,
But it always seems to bite me in the-
(Holly)
Ask me for my number, yeah you put me on the spot
(Willa)
You think that we should hook up, but I think that we should not
(Holly)
You had me at "Hello", then you opened up your mouth
(Both)
And that's when it started going south
OH!
Get you hands off my hips
'fore I punch you in the lips
Stop your starin' at my (Hey!)

No you can't buy me a drink
Let me tell you what I think
I think you could use a mint
Take a hint, take a hint
La, la, la...
T-take a hint, take a hint
La, la, la...
I was clapping my hands to the rhythm the girls were really killing it out there. I knew they could sing but wow together they were incredible and they looked like they were really having fun up there. I could tell they wanted me to join them but I refused it was a two person song and I honestly wasn't singer type of girl.
I looked at the boys expressions and I think they were finally catching on but I think they still needed the girls to delver the message a bit longer. I gestured the girls to keep it up and they agree.
(Holly)
I guess you still don't get it, so let's take it from the top
(Willa)
You asked me what my sign is, and I told you it was "Stop"
(Holly)
And If I had a dime for every name that you just dropped
(Both)
You'd be here and I'd be on a yacht
oh!
They jumped off stage into the crowd hitting the Dance floor spinning around and singing and just letting it all go. They danced their way over to me tusseling my hair as I hit their backs ans sent them back on stage but not before they got all up the boys faces giving them a run for their money.
(Both)
Get your hands off my hips
'fore I'll punch you in the lips
Stop your starin' at my (Hey!)
Take a hint, take a hint
No you can't buy me a drink
Let me tell you what I think
I think you could use a mint
Take a hint, take a hint
La, la, la...
T-take a hint, take a hint
La, la, la...
(Holly)
What about "NO" don't you get?
(Willa)
So go and tell your friends
I'm not really interested
(Holly)
It's about time that you're leaving
I'm gonna count to three and
(Willa)
Open my eyes and you'll be gone
(Willa)

(Willa)

(Willa)

'fore I'll punch you in the lips
Stop your starin' at my (Hey!)
Take a hint, take a hint
La, la, la...
T-take a hint, take a hint
La, la, la...
They finished that song with a bang as the whole room went crazy for them. "Oh thank you Thank you so much!" They blow kisses and grab the attention.
"WHOO those are my girls yeah!" I applaud and clap for them harder than anyone else
I see from the Crowd Kenneth and Eli shake their heads at the girls with disappointed and upset looks Then I walk up to them and tap their shoulders as they look at me "My friends have made their minds clear to you both have they not? So why don't you two step" I say with a smirk.
"Fine! Let's go Ken" Eli says as they both walk off. I see the girls still being praised for their performance as I chuckle and shake my head.
I feel a tap to my shoulders and as I turn around I see Colon with a not so happy look "Uh, Colon? Everything okay?"
"Hey that wasn't a very nice thing your friends did to mine" Colon said glaring at me
I went wide eye and shocked "Those jerks are your friends?!"
"Yes and you're friends were very rude to do that"
"Hey your friends came up to mine with their little charm boy routines and my friends were getting fed up with them"
"Oh so you're saying my friends are the problem?"
"Well it certainly ain't my friends now is it!" I sassed him we just looked at each other now with frowns.
Colon huffed and rolled his eyes "You know what, I changed my mind I don't want to hang out with you sometime anymore"
I glared over at him "Fine! I was gonna come anyway anymore"
"Well then I guess it worked out for everyone"
"I guess it did"
"Why don't we just keep that in mind then?"
"Why don't you just get out of my face!"
"I will!"
"Good!"
"Goodbye!" He huffed and walked off
"Same to you Loser!" I called doing the loser sign with my fingers.
I sat back down at the table and drank the last of my wine and sighed "Well there goes another one!" I blew my hair from my face and sighed.
"Jo!" I see my girls come back towards me with frowns "Are you ok?"
I frowned wanting to say no but I smiled cause I wasn't all that sad "I'm good! Better in fact, you guys helped me a lot"
"You helped us even more!" Holly smiled as we both group hugged.
"And great singing up there you girls rocked it" I shout loud and proud.
They both laughed "Thanks!"
(An hour later)...
The night was getting later and the fun was getting lost on me. I was standing at the bar with my millionth small drink, the club was slowly dying away as groups began to leave and the music slowed down. I was having fun but the party animal in me was getting tired and weary, time to head out.
I found Willa and Holly sitting in a small booth as I stumbled over to them, they were eating a plate of chips and salsa before I got there.
"Well girls this was a fun night but I need to get home before my dad finds out I snuck out" I tell them
The girls began to laugh "Ok daddy's little princess needs to get back to her Palace"
"Tick tock Cinderella and try not to lose your glass slippers!"
I eye them "Shut up both of you!" I laughed hugging them "See you girls in school!"
"Bye Birthday Girl!"
I leave the club and begin walking down the street, it handn't even thought to bring a jacket cause the night air was really blowing hard and I was still a while away from home. I decided to take a short cut through the alley then to the park and I would be there.
I turned the corner and down at the end was the alley at the end. The second I turned into there I regretted it right away. There were three large thug looking guys just waiting there by the entrance smoking and banging on a large cans.
"Uh-oh!"
When they saw me walk in they stopped what they were doing and looked at me, the looked like they were going to kill me but I wasn't gonna stay to find out.
"Oh sorry boys I took a wrong turn and you all look pretty busy with your things..." I slowly began to back up out of their way as they kept looking at me not saying a thing
"Uh don't bother to get up, I'll show myself..." I bump into something large and heavy and gulp hard "Out!"
I turn around and see there was one more boy and he was blocking the way out of the alley he was looking at me with greed and I was looking with fear in my eyes.
"Leaving so soon doll!" He says to me as I get a dry mouth "Don't you wanna stay and hang out!?" He asks.
I hear noise and see his friends were starting to stand up making me gulp almost wanting to wet myself now. I look back at him as he shows a light smirk
"Uh no thanks I really need t be getting home now so if you could just kindly move outta the way" I try to get past him but he just keeps getting in the way.
He pushed me back a little almost making me trip "Oh I insist doll that you stay for a while!" His friends and were forming a tight circle around me as I got a terrible chill up my spine.
"I really insist!" He says with an evil smirk.
This was officially, BAD!
Joelle pov
I was sitting in the living room sighing to myself being bored, ever since Dad put Jo on lock down I was so bored without here. I tried going up there a few times to talk but she never answered, probably too upset and I don't blame her I've been there with dad before. Hopefully it'll be better tomorrow morning.
"Your sisters been awfully quiet" Dad says suspiciously.
"Probably still mad cause you messed with her life" mum called from the kitchen
I laugh "Good one mum!"
Dad looks at her "Hey I'm the boss around here what I say goes"
"Sure it does" I say sarcastically.
"Joelle tell your sister Dinner's ready!"
"You got it mum!"
"Gnomeo give her the key to unlock the door, if you're going to keep Jo locked up at least let the girl eat!" Mum states seriously
"Ok!" Dad gives me the key, I got to my feet and walked up to my shared bedroom.
"Jo it's time for dinner" I knocked but there was no answer "Jo?!" I walk inside and she was gone and all that was under her sheets were pillows.
"OH NO!" I scream and cover my mouth in case I was heard.
Oh my this is bad how did she even escape? I think looking to the open window, mystery solved, but what I feared most is what was gonna happen when Dad finds out I mean how long had she been gone? This was not good.
"Joelle!" Dad calls me
"Uh-oh!" I race out of the room and close the door before dad sees, Jo will never survive this if he knows she snuck out.
"Hi Daddy!"
"It's dinnertime where's your sister?"
"Uhm She's inside the room" I point. Dad went to open the door
"NO DON'T!" I block it and he gives me a weird look. "I mean she's trying to sleep wouldn't want to wake her"
Dad gave me the look he always gave me when he knew I was hiding something "Are you sure she's in there?"
"Why would I lie to you?" I say nervously
"Cause I know you sweetie" He smirks.
"Wow! Jo was right you have no trust in us do you?!" I eye him
"I trust you both, but I worry more!"
"Whatever"
"Gnomeo, girls, your dinners getting cold!" Mum calls to us.
"Coming mum!" I call back, I take Dad's arm and lead him away from the door "I'll be right there Dad I just need to get something" I slam the room door and sigh. I raced over to Jo's bed and stuffed a lot of old dirty clothes and pillows under the sheets to make it look like her and then I placed a blue cone on the pillow to make it look like her blue hat.
"Girls" Dad came in as I faked a smile
"Just checking on Jo!" I said getting up and walking to the door "Shouldn't you be at dinner Dad" I close the door and walk him into the kitchen with mum
"Finally what took you so long? and Where's Jo?"
"Sleeping" I say pouring juice in my cup.
"She's been quiet ever since I sent her up there" Dad looked back upstairs curiously.
"Probably still mad at you!" I say with a low tone
"She needs to accept she can't have everything her way!"
"Or maybe you just need to accept the fact she's a grown women now" Mum tells him.
"Well can we discuss this conversation as we eat"
'But dear Jo..."
"She'll eat when she wakes up...besides I want to tell you guys all about my day every single detail" I make them both sit down a I begin talking for as long as I can hoping to buy Jo some time to get back here before she gets us both busted.
"Oh Jo wherever you are I hope you're alright!"
Jo pov
If anyone asked me how I was at that moment, I would say I was so totally not alright I was horrible in fact. I was being harassed by older men and not a single witness around to help me. I was in a predicament here.
"Hold her down good and tight!"
"No! let me go!" I screamed and began kicking and screaming but they were too strong for me.
The leader boy came right up to me and ripped the purse right off my shoulders "Hey give that back!" I demand but his friends were still holding me down.
"I swear if you don't let me got I'll..." He turned back to me in a flash with a fling pulling out a cold weapon and pressed it against my throat.
"SHUT UP! And I won't hurt you" He threatened pulling a knife out on me as I gulped with sweat dripping down my face. "Say one more word and I'll cut your tongue out, ONE WORD...I dare you to say something else" He pressed it closer to my throat I could feel it pinching the top layer of my skin.
His friends kept holding me as he put the knife away and started going through my purse dumping everything out of it onto the wet ground, his remaining friend held up a light as they looked to my contents.
"Nothing but a bunch of feminine shit" One said.
"What no money?!" He snapped tossing my bag on the floor and then looking towards me with a look that made me fear something bad was going to happen.
"Man this bitch ain't got nothing for us to take!" The other one said kicking my stuff away.
The lead boy looked back to me with a big wide smirk "No! matter I've still got you!" He put a finger to my stomach and went up and down it and around to my back and then to my chest as I kept getting this disgusting feeling.
"So what do you say we take her back to our place and have some fun with her boys!?" My eyes grew wide cause I knew exactly what he meant by that
"Yeah!" All his boys began looking at me the same way, this was so not good.
"So what do you say cutie? one little girl with four big guys one by one we take a turn with you!" He began touching my chest again. "A whole night of dirty hard sex!" He whispers in my ears making me cry
"Boys take her away!" he commands as they grab me by the hands and legs.
"NO! HELP! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!" I screamed and shouted as hard as I could.
"Quick gag her!" He says as the other tapes my mouth shut and gags me. The two restraining me hold me against the wall good and tight from both sides.
The leader one Runs his fingers on me again since this time I'm up tall and straight and leans closer to me with a dirty evil grin "On second thought, a body like this shouldn't wait, lets just have our way here and now!"
I was screaming and freaking out even more than ever but I couldn't scream for help or even move my legs to kick or punch. "Let her go!" He says they slowly let me go as soon as they do I make a break for it running in sprints.
"GOTCHA!" He tackles me to the ground gripping my hands behind me and resting hard on top of me.
"NO PLEASE LET ME GO! LEAVE ME ALONE!" I yell but he retapes my mouth shut.
"Shut up you had this coming so deal with it!" He says. I feel him slowly pull my dress up from the bottom as I squirm underneath his weight.
"Stop squirming and..."
Bonk...
I suddenly feel lighter as I feel now weight on me anymore. I look behind me as the guy was right beside me on the ground as his friends gather around.
"Whoa man who just did that?" One asks, while they were all distracted now was my chance.
I try to inch myself away bit one gets me "You not getting away that easily"
"STOP!" I hear a voice and a shadow creeps up on me.
"Who's that!"
There was a tall figure standing in the alley entrance I couldn't see very well from the ground but I could make out a few details of him in the dim light. Everyone just stood there for a moment thinking the same thing. "Who was that?"
"Are you alright miss?" He asks seeing me on the ground face down.
"Not really!" I say in a low scared tone.
"Yeah now do you mind I was about to get my freak on here!" The boy got off the ground about to grab me again.
"UNHAND HER YOU PERVERTED FREAK!" He demands
The guy gIves a hard glare "Why don't you make me!"
I could see his eyes narrow "Oh I will!"
The lead boy snaps his fingers as his friends hold me down in his place. He rolled up his sleeves with a determined look.
"You don't realize who your messing with"
"Neither do you"
"Are you gonna keep talking or are you gonna..."
Just like that they began wrestling on the ground I couldn't see well but I could make out a few blows here and there.
"Get him mate!"
"Show him who he's messing with"
With one last blow I saw one of them pass out on the floor.
"Boss!" The guys left me to tend to their fallen friend.
"He's unconscious!"
"Not good"
"No matter we've still got our little toy doll right here" They walk back to me smirking "So what say we finish what we started doll face?"
Iclosed my eyes and ducked my head in the gravel in fear. As I felt his shadow creep up on me with a dirty chuckle escaping his mouth.
"Now time for a little"
CLANG
There was the clang of metal as he fell right in front of me. I jumped up and backed into the closest wall. From the ccorner I could see that dark figure with a trash lid in his grip. His head moved ftom the two rapists lying unconscious to the remaining two who were looking as they would wet themselves.
"You two wanna try anything?"
"RUN LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" The rest of them flee in terror like girls as the guy gets closer to me and helps me up. He rips the tape off my mouth as well as the girl mustache I was getting.
"AH! OW!" I rub my lips in pain.
"Hurry come this way!" He says running away, not wanting to wait around here I follow as fast as I can but it's hard to run in heels. We turn a corner into another alley that was blocked off by a brick wall.
"Up here quick!" He helps me over the wall and jumps it himself he takes my arm and runs me down the path and into the big park, we hide in behind the big tree catching our breath.
"Are you alright miss?" He asked but I just grabbed him in protection panting heavily.
"Oh my gosh thank you thank you so much, I don't know what to say another second and and...I don't even want to think about it but"
"Uh miss..."
"That was just way too scary and if you didn't come when you did I could've been..."
"Hey miss..."
"I mean I could have taken them but they were so big and strong and outnumbered me I didn't know what was gonna happen if you didn't come...
"HEY!" He grabs and shakes me "You wanna take a breath before you pass out"
"*inhale**exhale* sorry I'm good now, just freaked out"
"Good!" He smiled we paused for a moment not speaking until he said "What's your name?"
"Jo Bluebury!"
"Jo?" He questions with a grin
I nod "Short for Joelle"
"Ah!" He smiles looking at me and I look at him the same way "Well Jo" He takes my hands "I'm Nicolas Waterfront but call me Nick!" He kisses me on the hand.
"Oh ok, Nick!" I giggled saying that name. "Thank you so much for saving me"
"Hey I couldn't let a beautiful young girl get raped now could I?" He winked and I covered my face to hide the blush.
"So can I ask; What you were doing out here all alone?"
"Oh that well today's my birthday!"
"Oh Happy birthday!" He smiles with a hug and I return it, he felt so warm and comfy.
I let go and finish the story "And I was just coming from a party with my friends!"
"Dressed like that?" He mentions my outfit
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing it's just that...It's a little skimpy don't you think?" He gave me a nervous look
"Well I'm 18, pretty much an adult now and this is how all my friends dress" I state.
"Still?" He said not really liking it.
I roll my eyes "Uh you're just like my dad he never lets me do what I want" I roll my eyes
"Sorry I didn't mean to upset you" Nick wraps his arms around me.
"It's okay...So what are you doing out here at night?"
"Apparently saving you!" He joked and I found myself laughing "But I was just on my way home from my school's baseball game"
"Really what school do you go to?"
"Belgrade High!"
I gasped "No way I go there too!"
"Small world isn't it"
"Especially for gnomes" We both laugh. I stop and begin staring into his brown eyes and I see him doing the same, I pull my loose hair strand from my face "Well I better get going home now"
"Wait!" He pulls me back in his arms I was shocked but also happy he did it "Uh I could walk you back home...if you like"
"I would like that, after what happened I could use some muscle" I giggle. He holds out his arm to me and we walk down the path.
My alley and garden come into view and that's where we split off "Thanks for walking me here"
"Just wanted to make sure you were safe" He looks at me one more time as I smile at him, I wasn't sure but I was feeling something for him.
"Well goodnight!"
"Yeah you too, maybe we'll see each other in school!" He asks.
"I bet we will!" I smile.
I walked into my garden with a big grin on my face "He was a perfectly charming boy!" I say prancing about towards the greenhouse.
I climb back up the roof of my house and slip through the window nice and quietly. It was very late almost midnight, I could hear light snoring from the other side Joelle was fast asleep in her bed. I smiled and walked to my closet strapped on my pj's and crawled into bed for a good night sleep.
Some wild and craziness going on there wasn't it? Can't wait for you to see the rest later.
