"C'mon, c'mon. Stupid machine", I grumbled as I lightly slapped on the soda machine. I was thirsty and I felt like some soda, and there was one in the hotel so I went to get one but right now it's just trying to eat my money. "Son of a bitch!" I was'nt afraid of anyone hearing me. It was'nt like I was yelling it out for the whole world to hear.
After Christmas had passed me and Jay looked for the place in 'Entry #29', and by the looks of it it's this place called Rosswood Park, made up of two areas. One being an actual park and the other made up of unmaintained trails.
Jay had also tried to talk to Jessica to see if she knew anything about either of the , he's pretty much only succeeded in pissing her off. For one thing he keeps changing our story and the fact he keeps bothering her is'nt helping to say the least.
"Did the machine eat your money?" I turned around and saw Jessica with a faint smile that looked forced. She looked tired and there were shadows under her eyes.
"Um, yeah I think so", I answered before slapping the damn thing again, only this time I finally got my can of coke. "Oh, never mind then", I chuckled a little before taking it and turning to Jessica.
"Oh and er, sorry about Jay by the way. He was um, dropped on his head as a baby so sometimes he's a little weird". I'll admit it's a terrible excuse, but can you think of anything better.
"A-about that. There's something I need to ask you?" Jessica's smile dropped and she briefly looked over her shouldor. "D-did you know Jay before comming to this hotel?" I was a little unsure whether to answer or not but I decided to answer at least some questions.
"Yeah. I met him through my brother"
"Well, do you remember booking a room with him?", Jessica asked. She seemed nervous as she looked at me.
"Err, well we were doing a trip together because I was staying at his apartment because of...family matters, so we booked into the hotel" I could help but feel my statement sounded more like a question and I hoped Jessica did'nt notice it too.
"Then why do we have adjoining rooms?"
"M-maybe there was a shortage of rooms?", I suggested, feeling a little nervous now.
"But I've only seen you, Jay and staff here!", Jessica persisted, and I could clearly notice that her fists were clenched and shaking a little.
"Are you okay? You seem stressed", I asked, trying to change the subject. Jessica sighed and ran a hand through her dark hair.
"I-I have'nt really had that much great sleep for a while. I keep having this dream, where I'm a kid, and-and something's watching me".
"In or near the woods?" I did'nt mean for those words to slip, they just...did. Jessica gave me a look which seemed like she was surprised, but also somehow relieved.
"You know what I'm talking about?"
"I-I...I have to go now! I'm sorry", I said quickly and walked around Jessica. I don't know why I did it. Maybe I was just acting out of instinct, or maybe a was afraid of what would happen if I said yes to her.
I swear, if I had known better, I would have said yes. I would have.
That night Jay was looking through some stuff on his laptop at the desk while I was looking out the window. It was more or less silent untill a knocking came from the door leading to Jessica's room.
"Do you want me to get it?", I asked Jay, looking over my shouldor.
"I'll get it", Jay grabbed his camera and went to answer the door. I was'nt too sure if I should go behind Jay or not, considering my earlier encounter with Jessica but I stood up anyway and peered over at the door, making sure to stay out of Jessica's sight if she was there.
"What are you doing?", I heard Jessica ask.
"Well… just… um… just seeing who's at the door", Jay responded back.
"With a camera?"
"Well, I mean I had it in my hand already and I was just filming-", but Jessica cut Jay off.
"Look Jay", she paused for a second before countinuing. "I know you and Rebecca are lying! First you tell me some stupid hotel documenty, then you tell me your house is being renovated? But then you told me your job was being located? What's going on!" Jessica's tone seemed to get angrier by the sentence. I slowly moved beside Jay as he said,
"It's...it's complicated".
"Your not acting like a normal person, either of you..."
"Well...what's it matter to you? Your just some old stranger?", I said back, keeping a poker face on. Jesica gave a quick look into her room, almost as if she was afraid of something in there before she said in a scared tone,
"I think something's going on. I know there's something going on".
"Like what?", Jay asked softly, obviously trying to calm Jessica down. She gave another terrified glance into her room before saying,
"I don't know how I got here! You two are the only other people I've seen in this hotel other than the staff, and we have adjoining rooms! I don't even know either of you! You said it yourself Rebecca; I'm a stranger! Have either of you had any kind of memory loss at all?"
When I saw Jessica fighting back tears I felt guilty for walking away from her earlier. Hell, I felt like a jerk! When I was scared Jay would comfort me and here I am just leaving this poor girl alone when she clearly needed help! Not to sound selfish but what she had to add was'nt helping my conscience.
"I think I'm going crazy! I'm losing hugh chunks of time! Having pounding headaches and coughing fits and I can't sleep and when I do sleep I think I'm sleep walking! And I keep having these dreams where I'm a little kid… and someone is watchingme-"
"Stop", Jessica was cut off by Jay. Jay looked like he was trying to think things through.
"What?", Jessica demanded, and I could'nt blame her for being stressed like this.
"Look, Jessica, um… we'll tell you everything, but… just… just give me a few minutes, to get it all straight in my head. I'll, be in there soon. You should probably start packing some things, 'cause, I'm pretty sure we're all gonna have to leave here tonight".
Jessica gave a half hearted smile as she nodded and was about to close her door when Jay added,
"Leave your door open". Jessica left the door ajar.
"Okay so you want me to put the bags in the car?", I asked Jay, who nodded in response.
"You can put your bags in if you want. Oh, and one more thing, if it's okay with you. Could you upload this onto YouTube for me? Just incase...incase something happens. Not that it will but still".
"Sure, no problem", I nodded as I grabbed my bags and took the bag holdings Jay's laptop. It was'nt that hard since one of my bags was a shouldor bag and the bag with Jay's laptop had a shoulder strap.
"Will you be okay?", Jay asked as he gave me the keys to his car.
"Sure. Do you want me to wait in the car or do you want me to help you explain to Jessica?"
"Erm...you wait in the car. Keep the key in the ignition. If me and Jessica are'nt back in a little more then a hour, call me and if I don't respond...well, do you know how to drive?"
"Yeah...".
"Well then just drive. Forget about us", was all Jay said. I mentally snorted. Right now he was the closest thing I had to my actual brother and he thinks I'll just abandone him? Fat chance.
The booth of Jay's car was big enough for me to sit in with no difficulty. Heck, Jay and Jessica could probably fit in here too. Then again, maybe one of us would have to sit in the back seats. Now that I thought of it actually, the both is probably where me and Jay had been sleeping in for seven months before the hotel.
When the video started to upload onto YouTube I checked the time. Just twenty minutes have gone by. So there was still some time to kill. True, I was a little nervous about being in the unlocked car while the keys were in the ignition, but I guess if we had to make a quick getaway...
I twiddled on the chain of my necklace as I tried to think some stuff through. Jessica's dream. Was it really just a dream, or a memory? Was 'He' after her as well? How exactly does she fit into all this?
I looked outside the back window. The only source of light besides the laptop was the orange from the street lights.
Ah, finally the video uploaded. Out of cuiousity I looked to see how many page views and subscribbers we had and to be frank I was shocked. So many people were watching these videos! I was'nt too sure how to feel to be honest. On one hand they were watching me and Jay's misery, but on Twitter they showed great concern and worry. They were sort of my back ups of voices of reason whenever Jay announced he was going to do something irresponsible and they did seem to sympathise with my role in this situation.
Amusingly enough some people have done fanfiction and drawings of us, and humourously enough they've even done pairings of us. Me and Jay? I can see why they think it, but not going to happen. Me and Tim? Well, that is one I agree with, but right now my feelings are kinda torn between him and Masky so I can't really say. Me and Masky? Same as Tim. Me and...Alex? That's just sick and Alex would agree! I really hope that I'm not put in a bad light because of this.
But the other parings? Jay and Masky? Interesting and kinda hot, but not likely to ever happen. Jay and Alex? Bitch please. I think I would know if my brother was gay. 'Side's, did'nt he have a girlfriend? Jay and Jessica? Well, I'm not too sure what to say about this one exactly. If I could be shown more solid evidence of why then I may be more inclined to believe it possible. I saw one of Masky with Him and one where He rapes Alex!
I shuck my head a little and peered over the back seat to look out the front window, trying to make out if Jay and Jessica were comming out yet. Eventually, I saw Jay, but he was on his own and running to the car while carrying his bag.
He nearly pulled the drivers seat door off it's hinges and slammed it shut before he immeadietly started the ignition.
"Wait, where's Jessica?", I asked as Jay started the car.
"She's gone, don't know where he is but that masked guy attacked me!" Jay pulled out of the car park so quickly it made me fall on the booths floor.
"Sorry", Jay said sheepishly.
"It's okay", I mumbled as I sat up. "So you sure Jessica is missing?"
"She was'nt in her room. I did however unlock the safe". I wanted to grin a little but the news of Jessica being missing kept that from happening.
"Well, what was inside?"
"Tapes, and external hardrive and two notebooks". I gave a sigh of relief. I was reunited with my notebooks...well, I will once Jay gives them to me. Whatever happened over the seven months was probably in the second notebook, and it would help me know what happened over the seven month blank and between me and Masky.
I still had a feeling of guilt about Jessica though. What would have happened if I had just said yes this morning? Why did I have to be a fucking idiot? For all I know she could be going through worser shit then before and it would be at least partially my fault.
Well, at least I can take solace in the fact that the tapes may tell me where Alex is. Who knows? He's probably doing a-okay.
Date: 01/12/11
Time: 22:29
Me and Jay had to leave the hotel tonight. Jay got attacked by Masky. Jay however managed to get the safe open and in it were tapes, an external hardrive and my two notebooks. Assuming all that happened in the missing seven months is in it, it should give me a small break from writing for some time unless something interesting and new pops up.
Earlier today Jessica was talking to me. She mentioned something about dreaming of being a kid and being watched and my mouth slipped and I mentioned the woods. She asked me if I knew what she was talking about but I just ran.
She's missing now.
She came to us and we were going to take her with us but she vanished when Jay went to get her.
Is this somehow my fault?
If someone says it is'nt, I still feel I should have some blame at least.
Rebecca Kralie.
PLEASE READ: first, I want to say that I did the pairings because frankly we've all seen the types of pairings there can be, and if Rebecca was an actual charecter in the series, it would'nt be too surprising if someone wrote an incest fic of Rebecca and Alex, or paired her with anyone really. SECONDLY, the next few chapters covering the missing seven months will be written in the usual point of view, basically as if it was the present, to make it easier and also in Italics so you'll remember it's the past. Not that I'm saying your stupid or anything, just want to make sure things are clear.
