She's back

Chapter 13

Jay’s POV
“There! There she is! Right there, she’s running toward us!” I shouted in the car at Hailey who was driving. My heart dropped for a second, when I noticed her, I couldn’t handle losing her, not right now, and definitely not because of that scumbag.
“OK, OK, Jay, calm down, we’ll go get her, I’ll speed up.” Hailey answered me back. She seemed tense, I don’t know why though. Thankfully this truck is a fast accelerator, so we quickly sped up and reached Erin before I could blink twice. I rolled down my window to get Erin’s attention.
“Erin, Come on, hop in! Quick!” I yelled at her. She ran to the car door, grabbed the handle and quickly rushed into the back seat of the truck, our truck actually. It’s the car Erin and I got together,
I remember telling her that this was my dream truck, and she replied to me with a quote I will never forget: “It’s time you drove grasshopper.”. I’ll never forget these moments we had together, even some of our worst moments, like fighting over Voight’s actions and wether or not we supported him during specific situations. Voight is practically Erin’s dad, and she’ll almost always be on his side no matter what.
“What happened? Who took you?!” I asked panicked.
“The copycat took me, it was terrifying. He took me to THE silos, the place where Justin’s murderer is buried.” Erin answered running out of breath.
“JAY! Let her breath for a second.” Hailey told me, but I had trouble with this too. It’s Erin, I’ve always been and will always be this worked up whenever something bad happens to her. I didn’t want to tell Hailey this though, I don’t want to ruin our friendship.
“Why do I feel like he made you dig up the body?” I asked, wondering if I was right.
“It’s because he did, but I thankfully didn’t reach the body before I realised, that I could just hit him with the metal shovel he had handed me, so I did that and immediately ran toward the road, where I ran into you.”
“That sounds awful” I thought to myself after Erin told us that. Then I had a realisation…
