"Do you guys want orange juice?" I asked, looking over my shoulder at them
"What's in it?" Jason asked, raising his eyebrows
"Apples" I replied sarcastically.
"Oh haha" he shot back, matching my tone.
"I love this chick" Joey laughed, handing me the glasses.
"Are you hungry?" Jason asked, looking over at me briefly.
"No" I said, shaking my head
"You're eating" he stated
"Whatever" I muttered, rolling my eyes.
I rested my chin on my hand, watching Jason's muscles flex under his shirt with every move. Wow.
I forced myself to look away. What?! I did not just think he looked good. Did I?
My eyes trailed to the phone sitting on the counter top. I discreetly placed my hand over it, slipping it into my pocket.
"I'll be right back" I said excusing myself from the room.
"Where are you going?" Jason asked, I could hear the frown in his voice.
"Bathroom" I called back, already making my way up the stairs, clutching the phone in my hand.
Hoping that nobody would notice the phone was gone. I rushed into the bathroom, locking the door behind me.
I ran my hand through my hair, looking down at the phone, hoping that it'd be unlocked. Which it was. Yes!
"Thank you god" I breathed out, feeling a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.
I typed jakes number into the phone before dialing it.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
The tone echoed through my ears.
If I can't get out by running, I'll just get Jake to come and get me.
"Come on. Pick up. Pick up" I groaned, pacing back and fourth slightly.
"Hello?" Jake asked, sounding tired.
"Jakey?" I said softly
"Laurs!? Is that you?" He asked
"Yeah. yeah it's me" I said, looking out the window briefly.
"Where are you? Who's phone is this?" He asked bombarding me with questions
"I can't tell you jake.." I trailed off
"Why not?" He asked, I could hear the confusion in his voice
"Look jakey i just can't." I snapped
"Why not" he argued
"I haven't got long to talk. I just need you to do what I say ok?" I asked
"Yeah..." he said slowly
"When I put this phone down you need to get as far away as possible,ok? Dont stop running, not until you're sure it's safe" I explained.
"What's going on?" He asked.
"Just do it ok" I snapped slightly
"am I meant to be tracking this call?" He asked, as if he'd remembered something
"No! No don't." I said firmly, shaking my head.
Before breathing out slowly and hanging up.
Fuck.
