Whispered Dreams - Chapter 20 SUMMER'S OVER
Jake and Zoey Tryna solve their problems...
Zoey's point of view
The only word for the night after Jake left was awkward! What the hell was Jake thinking, leaving Annie alone in our haunted house! Just kidding, but still that chick must've been scared out of her wits! Jake has to know that I said that weird excuse just to save his ass!
He can't be that stupid, can he? Wait... of course he can. Shit!
I moved around my bed like an idiot trying to find my phone, which was nowhere in sight.
"Looking for this?" I heard Danny say.
I turned to find Danny standing in my door with my phone.
"Yeah... How did you get it?" I asked moving towards him trying to grab my phone.
Danny smirked a bit wider, "I stole it from you"
"What?" I replied a bit confused now.
"I said I stole it from you"
"Okay... Why did you steal it from me?" I asked moving my hand to my hips.
"So that I can protect you..." he announced.
Something about his tone, it was telling me that he was dead serious but his face never changed. I looked at him now full on confused.
"Danny, stop kidding around and give me the phone" I grabbed it.
But he didn't hand it to me, though I knew he was ready to give up. I pulled my phone out of his hold and frantically started dialing Jake's number.
"Don't say I didn't warn you babe... "His voice sounded distant.
"Shut up Danny" I turned around putting my phone to my ears, but he was nowhere in sight.
Great one more, angry best-friend coming up!
I heard the ring go on, it was weird Jake usually picks up the phone in the third ring. And then the ring came to an end and there was silence on the other side of the line, Jake had picked up.
"Jake... I'm so sorry... I don't know what to say... I love you Jake, I really do... and that night..."
I was rudely cut-off by a girl's laugh, an evil laugh, like bu..ha..ha.. stuff.
"Too bad Zoey... Jake doesn't love you, he's with me... I'd have said chooses me but then you were never his option"
Beep.. beep.. beep.
I woke up sweaty and scared in my bed.
What the fuck? Now what's this dream supposed to mean?
It has been almost four weeks since that night. Jake hasn't talked to me, bother picking up my phone or whatever means of communication possible. He's ignoring me.
Wait... is Danny angry too? I scratched my head and almost laughed when I heard Danny yell.
"You sleepy head get up!"
"I'm up Danny... quit it with the high volume already!"
"Summer's over and school's starting babe, I've saved up my energy!" he said almost landing to the edge of my bed.
I rolled my eyes and moved to the bathroom to get ready reading my text messages.
'Zoey, were heading to school now, sorry for bailing, see ya dear babe - Mel"
'Zoey get up already summer over g8 2 school asap - Rick'
'I'm gonna pick u up babe - Danny'
When I read the last message, I almost freaked. It was Jake's
'We need to talk- Jake'
Wow 4 words? Great! Each word for the each week we didn't speak. What the hell is wrong with Jake? I mean he could've asked me before getting so obnoxiously mad at me!
"Get out already! What the fuck are you doing in there?" Danny yelled.
How long did I stare at the last message? Great! Now I'm a freak who stares at a text for half an hour!
I hurriedly wore my clothes and went to school with Danny. No breakfast today!
Danny was always in such a damn good mood. He never had a bad day as far as I could know. He was talking excitedly about the game last night, was he talking about soccer or baseball, no idea. I just listened to distract myself from freaking out. The listening trick worked like magic, the thirty minute ride to school went by so quickly that I didn't even realized we reached school.
As soon as I got up, my head snapped to the blonde hair chick talking to the brunette. I zeroed in only to find that those chicks were Annie and MEL! That's it; the Annie chick is going down! I'm gonna beat her up; first she steals my Jake away, now my best friend, my girl too. Jake was somehow acceptable I guess, but Mel no freaking hell way! I'm gonna kill her.
Before I reached her, that chick left Mel alone, that got my anger a little cooled down, but I was still freaking mad at Mel.
"You too found a new girlfriend huh?" I accused.
"Zoey, don't be like that."
"Why not? This chick whoever she is, is stealing every person I love away. And I swear to god I hate it, I hate it so much that I could kill her right now."
"Zoey, it's not like that, she came to my house to see if Jake was there and she offered me a ride and I didn't want to drag you to it, so I came with her. I still love you babe... "She gave her infamous puppy dog eyes look.
I couldn't stay mad at her too long, it was physically impossible.
"Urgh... stop it with those big lovey-dovey eyes already. I missed you so much Mel, I mean after all that happened Jake's been ignoring me, Rick's been busy with Jake and Danny can't give any usable advice." I hugged her tight.
"Wait Danny knows about it? About it all? What? Now he's in the group?"she asked irritated.
"Danny's cool. He is a great friend. Anyway, Jake texted me and he says he wants to talk" I changed the topic.
"I mean after three weeks of ignoring finally he wants to talk. What the fuck is that all about? I think I'm just gonna pass. If he can ignore me, so can I" I announced.
Passing on the talk was too much of an alluring idea. Whatever he wanted to talk about can't be good.
"What the hell is wrong with you Zo? You're gonna pass? Just go find Jake and solve this out! I want all my friends together at once, not in a freaking routine. So go and fix this" she yelled.
"Whoa... signs of catfight seen. My bets are on Zo. You're my girl. Go get her babe" Danny said as he came up from behind.
Mel ignored Danny like a plague and talked to me.
"Look Zo, I know this might be tough, but you can't run away from this forever. Jake's your best friend, you'll know what to do" she encouraged me.
The day was a stretch as none of our classes were together. I had every class alone and I hadn't seen Jake once. I was more than anxious when the break bell rang.
I reached the cafeteria searching for Jake like crazy. He was nowhere in sight.
When I reached the dark hallway leading to computer room, I felt a large hand grab me and pull me inside the same dark room that I once ran towards, crying. I was about to freak then I realized it must be Danny. This was his hang out place after all.
"Danny! What the fuck are you doing? Let me go." I yelled as I tried to free my hands.
He let my hands go, but something told me this was important so I waited for him to start yapping.
"Danny?" I whispered in confusion. I mean he's not the silent kind of guy so why isn't he talking already?
"It's Jake" I heard Jake say.
My breath caught in my throat, struggling to get out. It was Jake. A replay of that night played in my head. My head started spin as i fought for control of my body.
