Chapter 34: New Year's Problems
December 25th
Jen slowly woke up by the sound of birds tweeting just outside her window and of course, the sound of her alarm clock, ringing at 10:30 in the morning. The blonde girl shifted as she turned to glance over her clock. A hand reached out from under the blanket, smacking the alarm clock to snooze mode. A few minutes pass by as she was yet again sleeping. Her alarm clock went back to ring the same ringtone every second. Sighing heavily, she stared at the alarm clock with sleepy eyes. She froze while staring at the clock.
"I'm late…" Jen mumbled.
The blonde girl literary jumped out of bed and dashed into the bathroom, ignoring the headache she has been having since yesterday. She was feeling a lot better since Ratchet told her to take a rest. Unknown to her, earlier that morning, Ratchet and Moonracer came to check on her. They both were shock when they found Sideswipe and Sunstreaker were still awake and were still taking a good care of the sick girl. Both medics smiled, but told the Terror Twins to go back to base and recharge. At first, they both refused, but when Ratchet pulled out his lucky wrench, they both quickly got out of the room. Sadly, Jen doesn't know what really happen.
Doing her daily ritual; taking a shower, brushing her teeth, and pulled her regular wear consist of a hoodie jacket over a white t-shirt, baggy jeans, and white sneakers. The blonde girl stared at herself at the mirror. She raised her eyebrow at her reflection, it was weird seeing that it almost been a year since everything changes. She has news friends from out of the world, new looks, and even a new life. Things were going to be perfect.
Jen glanced over to her big fake glasses and messy short black wig. She grabbed the wig and the glasses while glancing at the two items over and over again. A thought played in her mid if she doesn't wear a disguise. She knew that Ratchet and the two medics would freak out if they found her walking around town with her condition. But if she wears the wig and glasses, the Autobots might not realize that the boy is really Jen walking around town. The blonde haired girl smiled and placed the wig on along with the pair of big fake glasses.
"Well… I guess I'm Joshua for Christmas." Jen giggled to herself as her reflection showed a teenage boy with messy black hair and big black glasses. She was lucky that she has flat chest, almost like a boy. Some people even mistook her as a boy when she was only four. "Uh… H-Hi, my na-name is Joshua Diamonds, a regular teenage boy with a poor eyesight and um… a bit shy?" She tried to work her new character.
Jen shook her head. She needs to be shyer to fool everyone. "H-Hi, my na-name is Josh-Joshua Diamonds, a regular tee-teenage boy wi-with a poor eyesight and I'm a-a bit shy." She repeated. She smiled as she finally got the new character's personality. "I bet the others aren't going to find out that Joshua is me," The blonde smiled.
She stepped outside her bathroom with the wig and glasses placed on. The girl grabbed her black backpack, cell phone, and wallet. On Christmas, she needs to work because she needed extra money to but both her mom and dad their anniversary gift. She never forgets about the special day, since it was at the same time as Christmas. Emily probably knew about the anniversary too and would celebrate it together later on tonight, which means Jen only has about eight hours, minus five hours for work, so in total she only has three hours to find the perfect gift.
Jen glanced over to her watched and saw that she has three hours to search for the gift before her shift hour starts. The girl walked down the stairs quietly as she could and saw that her mom was in her study room, talking Chinese to her relatives in China. Jen smiled as her mom kept on ranting about them being late to import the genuine dolls and doll house for Emily. Jen only knew a few of those ranting because her mom was talking too fast that even maybe her relatives couldn't even understand. The blonde smiled to herself before walking out the house.
Jen, but now she's as Joshua. Joshua, the boy walked down the sidewalk, while avoiding being seen by Bumblebee or Sam or even Mikaela that were in front of the Witwicky's house, discussing the late Christmas party at base. Joshua tried his best to not look over at them. He pulled out his phone and decided to text 'Merry Christmas' to everyone he knows. After he sent the first three messages, from the corner of his eyes, he saw that Bumblebee; Sam; and Mikaela were distracted by pulling out their phones out of their pockets. As soon as they were distracted, Joshua jogged faster down the sidewalk.
The black haired boy quickly jogged away from his two friends and the Autobot. He sighed heavily in relief as the three didn't realize who he really is. The boy smiled proudly to himself before jogging to the town, looking for the perfect gift for his mom and dad. He had been window shopping from store to stores, just to look for the perfect gift he wants for his parents. It took him a whole two and a half hours to finally found the gift.
It was a statue of three; a couple under an angel with the wide wings surrounds the couple. It was perfect! Quickly, Joshua entered the shop and stared in awe as there were many antiques inside the shop. There were Old Grandfather's clocks, genuine sculptures, paintings, and even gems. Joshua didn't even realize that there were such stores here at the same street at the restaurant he works at. The boy seemed to be in awe, that he didn't even realize that the shopkeeper was chuckling at his face.
"Um… Excuse me, how much does this statue cost?" Joshua asked as he pointed his finger at the statue on display.
The old man chuckled, "My, my, are you going to give this to the person you love?" He asked while Joshua raised an eyebrow.
"N-No… I want to buy it f-for my parents… It's their anniversary today." Joshua gave a nervous smile, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Ah… anniversaries… I used to celebrate it with my wife… But she passed away." The old man said sadly.
Joshua hung his head down. "I-I'm very sorry…" he apologized.
"No, it's alright." The old man smiled. "I got over it a long time ago… That statue was the gift that I gave my wife twenty years ago, before she died." He continued.
"Really?" Joshua asked, trying to light up the mood. "The statue is beautiful. Your wife must be really happy when you gave it to her." He said with a smile.
"She loved it… Best anniversary gift ever, she said." The old man chuckled. He stood up shakily as he walked slowly towards the statue. He grabbed the statue and brought it to the counter. He grabbed a box and a bow while Joshua watched with confusion. A smile perked up to his lips as he saw that the old man was wrapping the statue. "Tell you what? I'll give you this with half the price and throw in a special surprise for your boyfriend." He smirked.
Joshua coughed. "I-I'm st-straight!" He complained.
"I know… I may be old, but my eyes don't lie when I see a girl dressed as a boy. My wife used to do that all the time, I mean… that's how we met." The old man gave a short laugh.
Joshua sheepishly scratched the back of his head. This old man was good. He paid for the statue and placed it gently in his bag before the old man gave him a box shaped heart. He opened the box and found two necklaces inside. Both necklaces shapes as hearts and could be open to put a picture inside the necklace. Joshua stared at the necklaces for a moment before deciding that he should give those necklaces to Sam and Mikaela.
"Thank you," Joshua said as he bowed to the old man.
"You're welcome young one," The old man said. He watched as Joshua left his shop with a bright smile. He chuckled to himself before sighing. "Ah… young love…" He smiled.
Joshua or Jen jogged towards the small restaurant at the corner. She barged in the restaurant while the owner gave her looks. He stared at Jen before raising his eyebrow at her. The boss was confused. Why was one his employee was dressed as a boy well, that wasn't surprising, what was surprising is the wig and glasses. Mr. DeFazio twirled his thick mustache before laughing. Jen smiled nervously as he took the wig off and the glasses off as well.
"Ah Jen! Glad you can join us! Cop! Cop! Get dressed and serve some customers!" Mr. DeFazio smiled as he clapped his hands.
Jen nodded and jogged into the staff room to grab her uniform. She quickly got changed and grabbed a tray as the chef already gave her a couple of plates for table six. The blonde happily serve the customers while saying Merry Christmas to all the customers she's serving in her shifts. The blonde carefully pour tea to the cup while keeping her focus on the tray as well.
"So Jen?" She heard Rose called from the register. The blonde perked her head up to the older women. "We were thinking that you should join us to the club later tonight. What do you say?" The woman gave a smile.
Jen shook her head. "I can't Ms. Rose, besides… I don't like to go to this club, it sounds horrible." She said as she served a plate to a family of four.
"Aw c'mon, it'll be fun!" Josh said as he walked pass by Jen, serving to the table beside the family of four.
"I can't… sorry, maybe next time. Tonight is my parents' twentieth anniversary." Jen admitted.
"Girl~!" Marie, one of the chefs called out with her tone. "Your parents are nothing, but jerks. You shall just ditch 'em and live on your own!" She said.
Marie and Josh high-five as Jen shook her head. Rose shook her head at her friends. She wrapped her arm around Jen's shoulder as she dragged her to the counter. "Jen… I love to say Marie is right, but they're still your parents and what you're doing to them is really nice and sweet! Wish you all the luck there is for you sweetheart!" Rose exclaimed.
"Thank you Ms. Rose," Jen gave a smile to the women.
"Hey Jen, darling," Marie called out. Both Rose and Jen turn to face the tan skinned women. "There someone outside in the alley waiting for you~ and he's smoking hot!" she gave a whistle.
Someone? Smoking hot? What the heck is she talking about? Jen thought to herself as she saw the goofy grins Josh and Rose were giving her. Jen gave a shrug before jogging out to the alley. Her eyes widened as she saw a blonde leaning against the wall right next to the door. It was Bumblebee; he was crossing his arms across his chest while smirking at her. Jen only raised an eyebrow at him before sighing.
"Mr. Bee? What are you doing here?" Jen asked curiously.
Bumblebee pushed himself off the wall as he grinned sheepishly. The scout has been worried that when Emily said that Jen wasn't at her room, he quickly contacted the Autobots for any information. The only clue he received was the text message he got in the morning around eleven. He searched all of the places he could thought of and finally checked the last place, the place where Jen works.
"I was worried you know…" Bumblebee began. "You kind of disappeared from your house and got Ratchet almost have a sparkattack… twice in less than twenty four hours." He gave a light chuckle.
Jen hung her head down. "Sorry… I have to go to work…" She apologized.
"It's okay… I think…" Bumblebee blushed. He shoved his hand into the pockets' of his jacket. The blonde Autobot scout grinned sheepishly, but took something out from his pocket. He gulped as he blushed deeply. His eyes were locked on a box in his palm.
"Mr. Bee? Are you alright?" Jen questioned worriedly as she saw Bumblebee was spacing out.
Bumblebee snaps out from his daydream and laughed nervously.
"C-Can I borrow your hand?" He asked.
Jen shrugged and raised both her hands to Bumblebee. The scout laughed before he reached his hand out and grabbed her left hand. "Do-Don't get me the wrong way now 'kay? I-I'm just going to give this as um… for our friendship? Yeah… Friendship, that's it." He stuttered.
The girl in front of his raised an eyebrow as she felt something cold on her middle finger. Her eyes widened as there was a ring on her middle finger. There's a blue flower with silver a silver ring. Jen observed the ring carefully and almost took it off because it looked expensive. Bumblebee quickly grabbed her hand and blushed while Jen only stared blankly at him.
"P-Please don't take it off… I made it especially for you…" Bumblebee smiled nervously.
"B-but it looked so hard to make and expensive!" Jen complained. "I can't accept it, Mr. Bee!" She shouted.
"Please?" Bumblebee placed on a puppy dog face. "For me?" He smiled.
Jen sighed in defeat as she can't resist such a cute face; she was always weak at this kind of face. Bumblebee grinned happily and lifted Jen's chin up. He leaned forward and kissed her forehead. He blushed as Jen smiled brightly. The girl hugged Bumblebee by surprise, making the scout panicked. He soon returned the hug while nuzzling his nose to Jen's hair.
"Thank you, Mr. Bee… I like it… I won't take it off, I promise." Jen gave a smile before she gave a kiss to his cheek and left the alley to get back to work.
Bumblebee was in shock as he held his cheek. He felt a smile curled up to his lips while he blushed madly. He couldn't help but think that Jen was a bit hot, not hot hot, but as in temperature hot. He shrugged it off, thinking that it was just Jen blushing and trying to hide it from him. The scout's holoform disappeared and went back into his alt-mode to comm. linked the others and pick Sam along with Mikaela up from the lake.
"Good luck with your gift Jen!" I heard Rose yelled.
I nodded and waved goodbye to the employees. I was jogging down the street as quick as possible to react home by seven. I don't want to miss mom and dad's anniversary. My head was also getting dizzier by the minute. Maybe I should've listen to Ratchet and the others to rest, but I can't just let a light fever blocked my schedule. I saw a pharmacy down the corner of the street. I decided to stop by the pharmacy to buy some Paracetamol.
A few minutes later, I saw that the sky was getting darker by the second, making the town almost pitch black. The streetlights began to flicker on to light up the dark streets. I stared out the glass doors as the Christmas lights were also turned on to lit up the streets. Suddenly, there was a bright flash that lit up everything inside the pharmacy and out, followed by a loud crash made from the sky. Everyone around me covered their ears as I only stared out the window. There's going to be a storm soon and it's at Christmas. I wonder if the base was also having a terrible weather like this.
I walked to the glass clear window and pressed my forehead along with my hands to the glass, looking through it. My eyes narrowed as they adjusted. The wind was also getting stronger and kept on blowing newspapers away from a store. The owner quickly closed his store and never came out as the storm approaches. People that were still on the sidewalk began to scramble away to shelter. I sighed heavily, looks like that I'm going to be stuck here.
Adjusting my backpack to the right position, I sighed heavily as I slump my shoulders down. I grabbed my backpack as I reached inside to looks for an umbrella. Carefully, laying the anniversary gift on the counter, I shoved my hand deeper to get the umbrella. My hand touched a fabric like nylon. I grinned as I pulled out the small umbrella for one people underneath it. Again, I carefully placed the gift inside my bag and secured it.
I opened the umbrella as I stepped outside the store. The streets were already empty, except for the cars. Quickly, I ran to avoid getting rained down by the clouds high above. As I was running down the sidewalk, I saw a familiar brunette waiting for a bus. That's really weird because usually my sister would take her Porsche out, especially in this kind of weather. She hate to get her hair wet and her makeup will run down her cheeks if it gets wet.
My eyes narrowed as she was holding a bag. I guess the bag was mom and dad's anniversary gift. I rolled my eyes as I saw a couple of mans were whistling because they saw what's underneath her skirt. My dizzier went away for a moment, only to be filled with anger. I stomped over towards the group of men, which were surrounding Emily. I placed my umbrella to block the view and they all give a disappointing sigh.
"That's right… Walk away and don't ever bother my sister again!" I shouted as they marched away. I felt proud for keeping my sister safe from those boys.
"Jen! I'm so glad you're here! Those boys were mean to me!" Emily cried.
I chuckled. "Not to worry, Emily. I got them to stop bothering you. What are you doing here? At the bus stop? And why didn't you take your car?" I asked curiously.
Emily crossed her arms and pouted. "Well… I want to surprise mommy and daddy by giving a special anniversary gift! A statue! Do you think they will like it?" She asked as she showed me, almost the exact same statue that I bought earlier this afternoon. I quietly sighed as I was disappointed. I can't give the same gift as Emily to my parents, which would be weird and disrespectful. Deciding that I would lie, I nodded my head and placed a fake smile to make it real. That actually worked because Emily gave me a tight hug before smiling. "Oh yeah… Can I borrow your umbrella? I really need to get home before mommy and daddy finds out I'm missing." She begged with a puppy look.
I nodded and gave the umbrella to her, besides… I still have my hoodie jacket. "Alright, be safe and be careful. Don't let those boys bother you again." I said as I waved my hand to her.
"I will! Goodbye Jen!" Emily shouted over her shoulder as she flipped her hair.
I waved my hand goodbye and sighed before pulling my hood up. The rain was starting to pour down to the Earth as I walked down the street, hands shoved inside the pockets' of my jacket. The heavy rain started to get into my head, getting dizzier while my vision was blurring, I didn't even realize that there was a little girl sitting at the bench of the park. My blue eyes narrowed to the little girl and my eyes quickly widened. The girl I saw is little Annabelle, the daughter of William Lennox and Sarah Lennox.
I wonder why would Annabelle be doing here alone in the pouring rain?
Jen was worried about the little girl, sitting alone on the bench, snuggling closely to her teddy bear and flinched when the thunder's sound echoed through the whole city. The blonde eighteen year old stared at Annabelle for a few moments before walking towards the small frightened little girl. As soon as Jen was in front of Annabelle, she flinched as the lightning strikes. Annabelle whimpered as she hugged her teddy bear tightly. Jen sat down beside Annabelle and zipped off her hoodie jacket. Slipping her jacket off preparing to get wet by the rain, she wrapped her jacket around the trembling girl beside her.
Annabelle stared up at Jen as she only gave her a warm smile. "Big sis?" She asked while Jen only nodded weakly, shivering from the cold. "Why big sis here?" Annabelle questioned.
Jen chuckled, "I would like to ask that to you too… Tell me, Ms. Belle… What are you doing here out in the rain, all alone, and no shelter? Where is Mr. Hide?" She returns the question.
"Santa didn't give Annabelle what she wanted," Annabelle pouted and looked away.
Jen smiled. "Ah… I see…" She said while observing Annabelle carefully. The girl's shoulders were shaking and there were hiccupping sounds coming out from her chattering teeth. Jen began to wonder, was the daughter of the soldier crying, but didn't want to show it? The older blonde took a deep breath before finally having the bravery to ask. "Are you crying?"
"N-No! I am not crying! A soldir's daughter neva cries!" Annabelle refused to admit she was crying.
Jen let out another chuckle as she patted Annabelle's back. "People cry, not because they're weak… It's because they've been strong for too long." She quoted. Annabelle sniffled as she wiped her tears away. She stared up to see a pair of blue eyes and a warm smile. "Crying is alright, even though you're the daughter of a soldier. That means you are strong, like Mr. Hide." She said.
"Really?" Annabelle questioned as Jen nodded.
"Really," Jen answered with a smile. "Now let's go home… Your dad might be worried sick about you." She said and picked the girl up.
"Oh yeah… Daddy's really worried alright." The rain suddenly stopped pouring on Jen's head. She turned around to see a worried dad along with a relief Autobot Leader. William Lennox was standing beside Jen with an umbrella in his hand. He looked worried and at the same time happy to see his daughter was alright and in the hands of one of the person he trust. "Annabelle! Where have you been?! Daddy's been worried sick about you!" Will shouted.
Annabelle launched herself to Will and he spun around the wet ground, making them almost covered in mud. Jen laughed and picked up the umbrella, closing it as she watched Will and Annabelle with amusement. She saw Will hugging his daughter tightly and carried her on his hip. She threw the closed umbrella to Will as he was done spinning around. The soldier smiled at Jen before opening the umbrella to shield himself and his daughter from the rain.
Jen shivered slightly as her face reddened. Her body temperature was rising quickly and the rain only makes it worst. The blonde's clothes were all soggy and damped. Her hair was soaking wet, giving her a new headache. She was freezing, but didn't want to show it to both Optimus and Will. She didn't want the both of them to worry about her; they should be worrying about themselves. The blonde girl kept on shivering as she hugged herself. Her eyes widened as she felt there was a sudden body heat right beside her. It was the Autobot Leader.
Optimus stare with his electric blue eyes at Jen. His scanners said that she was freezing out in the rain. He slowly walked to the shivering girl and placed an umbrella right above him and her. The leader eyed the girl carefully as she won't stop shivering. Deciding to break the silence, he cleared his throat to gain attention from her.
"How did you know Annabelle was here?" Optimus asked.
Jen didn't answer.
Optimus stared at her before clearing his throat again.
"Huh? Oh what?" Jen asked. "Sorry… I was… spacing out." She smiled sheepishly.
"Are you alright? Your body temperature seems to be rising." Optimus said worriedly.
Jen shook her head and force a smile. "N-No… I'm alright… Don't worry about—," she wasn't even finished with her sentence and she already passed out.
Optimus' eyes widened as he dropped the umbrella, not caring if he gets wet, to catch the fallen girl before she hits the ground. He stared at Jen for a moment before gripping her tightly, securing her in his arms. He lifted Jen up bridal style and turned to his comrade Will. The Soldier looked worried at the girl in Optimus' arms.
"We need to get out of this rain." Optimus suggested.
Will seemed to agree.
I slowly woke up to a beeping sound right beside my head. I shifted as the breathing oxygen mask was bothering me to move. I stared up to the ceiling and shut my eyes as the light shined into my eyes. I reopen them again and the light soon adjusted. I remembered the night when I have a talk with Annabelle and then I guessed I've fainted. I slowly tried to get up and took the oxygen mask off to slide down to hang on my neck. I guess this is not a hospital. Seeing I'm in a regular room with a TV, a wooden dresser, a desk, and of course there's a bed. I was totally not in the hospital.
I glanced over beside me as my hand touched something soft. My eyes narrowed and stared at the brown teddy bear I got for Annabelle for Christmas. So that means I'm in the Lennox's residence since I fainted. I grabbed the bear and had a staring contest with a dead object. I was too busy staring at the bear that I didn't even realize someone entered the room.
"Primus! Youngling!" I almost jumped at the sudden yell. It was Ironhide for sure. I turned my head towards him as he quickly approached me with a furious look, but also a worried look. "You need to put this back on! Hatchet will be furious when he finds out you're not wearing the mask!" He gently placed the oxygen mask back to my nose and mouth.
"But I'm fine," I muttered.
Ironhide snorted. "Yeah… How could you be fine when you slept for seven days! You nearly gave us a sparkattack!" My eyes widened at his reply. Did I really sleep for a week and miss graduation? I stared at him completely shock. "That's right youngling; you did sleep for seven straight days. Ratchet said that your 'fever' isn't actually a fever… It's what you call a Dengue Fever from a mosquito bite, nasty little creature. It turns worse when you were out in the rain. You actually had Hypothermia. You, youngling, is a very lucky femme." He pointed his finger at me.
I stared in shock. I caught Hypothermia and the Dengue Fever? But I never got a mosquito bite since I used that ointment. I can't believe that I caught those diseases and didn't even recognize it! Most importantly I missed graduation and the New Years! I guess, that it's kind of funny thinking I've been asleep for a full year. I chuckled at the thought while Ironhide gave me looks.
"If you're worrying about graduation, don't worry… Will have your diploma secured –," Ironhide said, but was cut off by a chuckle.
"Thank you…" I smiled. "Even though I miss graduation… I think I'll let it slide." I said, feeling a bit disappointed for not attending graduation with Samuel and Mikaela.
"You're upset, I know…" Ironhide grabbed a chair and sat on it while crossing his arms. I stared at him for a moment before nodding a bit. "See? Maybe this will make you feel better… There were two gifts in your bag, correct?" He asked as I nodded, not sure where this was going. The statue was now useless and the necklace might rust. I just hope it was real silver. "Both are secured and ready to be given…" He smiled proudly.
I smiled and shook my head. "Actually that isn't necessary… Since Emily already bought the same gift as me for my parents' anniversary… and the necklaces might rust from the rain." I disappointedly said.
Ironhide scoffed. "Your creators?" He asked as I nodded. "I don't like 'em one bit…. Stay away from your creators… especially your sibling. She seems to be suspicious." He said.
Emily? Suspicious? Really?
I let out a laugh, but was muffled by the mask.
I saw Ironhide cracked a smile and turned around. "Just in time," He muttered. "Hey Doc! Your patient is awake!" he yelled.
Just like that, Ratchet came barging inside the room with a worried expression. He pushed Ironhide aside as the bulky holoform fell from the chair to the floor, face first. I make an 'ouch' expression before laughing, but Ratchet stopped me. He checked my pulse and examined my eyes. He kept on checking with his scanners and sighed heavily in relief.
"You're one lucky youngling…" Ratchet sighed heavily. "It's a good thing Optimus quickly brought you in to me and Jolt… Or else you might suffer from another comatose." He said as I froze.
Another comatose?
Ironhide grunted as he rubbed his head. "Hey, Hatchet." He called from the floor. Ratchet seemed to ignore the nickname. "You're scarring the femme… Try to be more soft with your words you dumbaft." The Weapon Specialist snickered.
A vein popped on Ratchet's forehead. He smacked Ironhide's head with a clipboard and glared at him. Ironhide rubbed his head and glared back at the CMO while I only stared at the two with awkwardness. I sighed heavily as the glaring contest began between two of the oldest Autobots. I glanced over to the desk beside my bed and saw that it was the statue and the heart shaped box that has two necklaces inside. I was planning on giving the statue to my parents, but I could give the statue to William and Sarah as their real Christmas present. And of course another real gift for Samuel and Mikaela's two year anniversary for being with each other, without arguments or anything.
"Jen! You're awake!" I heard a new voice. Ironhide and Ratchet stopped glaring at each other and scooted away to let me see who it was. It was Samuel, along with Mikaela, and William. Beside William's leg is a shy Annabelle holding a paper. I smiled at them as Annabelle jumped on to the bed and hugged me tightly.
"Hello to you too, An-An-Annabelle…" I smiled.
Ironhide literary chocked while Samuel coughed. They all gave me odd looks as Annabelle looked amazed. I shrugged my shoulders to shake the feeling off. Hey, I did miss the New Year's celebration, but that doesn't mean that I couldn't have a New Year's resolution. I did promise myself to call everyone by their names last year. Even though it was hard to say the names without a Mr., a Ms., or a Mrs., at least I've tried my best.
"What? What's wrong?" I asked.
"Did you hit your head?" Samuel asked.
I laughed. "No… Not exactly, I'm just making… New Year's resolution… To call you all by your names without any formalities, I know it seems… Weird for you all, but I guess if you guys don't like it I'll go back to –," I was cut off by Mikaela.
"No! No, no, no! What I meant is that it's cool! It's a cool resolution!" Mikaela grinned as she scratched the back of her head.
I smiled and nodded.
"You know… Sides and Sunny were completely depressed for a year…" Samuel snickered.
A year? What? Oh… Now I get it…
"I see… Maybe I could make it up to them…" I mumbled.
"Absolutely not! I don't approve for you to hang out with those Terror Twins again!" Ironhide crossed his arms to an X as he gritted his teeth.
I raised an eyebrow at him while I glanced over to William, Samuel, and Mikaela, they were snickering for some reason while Ratchet cracked up a smirk. I let Annabelle to sit on my lap as I shifted to the right position. I motioned my hand for Ratchet to lean forward and he did as told.
I covered my mouth and his ear as I whispered, "What's the matter with them Doc–Ratchet?" I corrected myself.
Ratchet crossed his arms and adjusted his glasses before answering. "I believe that both Sideswipe and Sunstreaker has pulled a prank to paint Ironhide… pink with purple polka dots… to relieve them from stress." He said.
I let out a chuckle, "That must be… hilarious…" As in return, Ironhide glared at me. "I'm sorry Ironhide… I didn't mean to offend you or anything… it's just that pink and polka dots kinds of suit you." I admitted, imagining Ironhide as in those colors make me laugh.
Ironhide grumbles something under his breath. "Slagging Pit Spawn Twins… I'll show 'em pink." He said to himself.
I raised an eyebrow, but then I remembered to give the statue to William and Sarah. I just hope he likes the gift. I reached out to grab the wrapped gift.
"What is that sis?" Annabelle asked she hugged her bear.
I smiled at her. "It's… a gift, for your parents." I truthfully said. "William, could you come over her for a second?" I asked as the man nodded. He bends down to my eye level and I shoved the gift to his face. He backed away while holding the gift and stared it with wide eyes. "It's for you and Sarah… Take it as a late anniversary gift." I smiled while reaching to grabbed the other gift.
"Samuel… Mikaela… catch!" I threw the necklaces to them, hoping that they have a good catch. They both caught the necklaces in their palm and stared at it for a moment before staring at me with wide eyes again. What's with the wide eyes today? I sighed. "It's also an anniversary gift… You've been together for two years correct? Happy two anniversary!" I cheered while Annabelle clapped.
"Jen…" The three breathes. "We can't accept this… You've given us so much, yet we haven't given anything to you…" William said as he tried to return the gift, but failed.
I raised my hand to stop him. "I like to give than receive. Just to see you smiling; makes me smile as well… You know… as gifts." I smiled.
They all seemed to blush, even Ratchet and Ironhide.
"Where's Sideswipe and Sunstreaker?" I asked while Ironhide growled.
"Jen!" Both voices shouted, the room is now getting crowded. I sweat dropped as this was the second time that Ironhide has been shoved out of the way.
Samuel and William dared to laugh while Mikaela and Ratchet tried not to laugh. Ironhide glared at them all before grumbling, "Speak of the devil," Under his breath. "What are you two slaggers doing here? I thought you were supposed to be on patrol?" He asked.
"Aft off Hidey! We got here as soon as possible!" Sunstreaker yelled.
"'Hidey'?" We all questioned.
"Yeah, you're getting worse on your insult Sunstreaker… I'm actually glad that you're getting bad at something." Ironhide smirked proudly as Sunstreaker glared at him.
Sideswipe sighed and placed his hand on top of mine. "We were so worried about you! I can't believe that you have those two diseases! I thought you would've been in a comatose or worse dead! But I was also worried that why did you give your umbrella to your sister? You were supposed to keep that umbrella to yourself! Let her get wet! You were sick and yet you force yourself to be strong! I like the speech though, but still! Don't force yourself or else something –," He kept on ranting as we only stared at him.
Sideswipe got a good whack from Ratchet's clipboard. Looks like the CMO has a new weapon, I snickered at the thought. "Shut up you big mouth, Jen needs her rest and you two need to return to your patrol position!" Ratchet scolded.
"Awww but Hatchet!" Both Sideswipe and Sunstreaker groaned. "We just got here!" They both whined in unison.
"No more excuses!" Ratchet dragged the twins away as we all watched with amusement.
Suddenly my cell phone broke the silence. I reached my hand out to grabbed my cell phone from the table and flipped it open, after seeing the caller's i.d and saw that it was Emily. I immediately picked the call up.
"Emily?" I asked.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not Emily…" A male voice said. My eyes widened at his voice. If he answered Emily's phone, where's Emily? Is this guy a kidnaper? "I'm Doctor Riley from The Century Hospital, calling to tell some bad news... Are you Janette Jones? Older sister to Emily Jones?" He said.
"Yes, that's me. What's the matter?" I asked, earning weird looks from William, Ironhide, Samuel, and Mikaela. I shushed them as I tried to hear what the doctor was saying.
"Your sister was involved in a car crash accident."
"I'll be right there as soon as possible." I quickly replied.
I shot out of bed and quickly got into the bathroom down the hall, ignoring the complain coming from Ironhide and the others. My focus was to visit the hospital and see my sister. William grabbed my wrist as I went out to the driveway and saw Bumblebee's holoform, looking worried as he tried to stop me from leaving.
"Hey, Jen… Calm down, tell me what's wrong…" William asked with concern eyes.
I stayed quiet before answering. "My sister just got into a car crash accident.
As we arrived at the hospital, I quickly ran to meet Doctor Riley. Ironhide and Bumblebee insisted to come along with William, Samuel, and Mikaela while Annabelle was with her mom. I finally meet Doctor Riley in front of Emily's room. He seemed to be serious about this, I gulped as the doctor stared at me and then at the others.
"Janette Jones?" He asked as I nodded. "Very well, your sister has been involved in a car crash accident due to the fact that she was speeding along with her boyfriend, Mr. Trent DeMacro, he is at the other room and he's alright. But as your sister's conditions… I'm not sure that she could even survive from such a hit…" He explained.
My eyes widened in shock as Mikaela gave me a comforting hug. I nodded as I fought back the tears.
"M-May I see her?" I asked as he nodded.
"Yes, you may… But I need to ask all of you to wait here." Doctor Riley explained. "Your sister is apparently still in the ICU and only one person is allowed to enter."
William and everyone seem hesitate to let me go, but I reassured them to let me see my sister. They agreed and let me go with the doctor. After walking down a few halls and taking turns to corners. We finally arrived at the ICU. I gulp as I saw my sister, lying lifelessly on the white bed, with her eyes closed, and an oxygen mask on.
"I shall leave you alone now…" Doctor Riley said as he exited the room.
I sat down on the chair and could hear the heartbeat monitor beeping and the clock ticking. I carefully stroke her cheek and chuckled lightly. She was so reckless. I can't believe that Trent pulled her into speeding with a Porsche! Does he even know that it's one of the fastest sport cars there is?! How can he put my baby sister in such a situation! I can't believe that guy!
I sighed heavily and slump my shoulders down. "You know… Why are you still dating that guy anyway? I don't like him… I ratchet had you dating Michael than him… At least he's better than Trent, Emily…" I said, knowing that Emily wasn't going to respond. I continued. "Mom and dad will be so furious right now… I bet they're marching down the hospital and demanding to see you no matter what and had you transfer you into a better room or even an even better hospital facility." I laughed.
The silence came back before I stared at Emily.
With one last sigh. I closed my eyes and took a deep sigh.
I exhaled.
"You were the one that hit me with the car, right?"
