Daydream~ Janae Vargas x Maeve Rojas

5. The black hoodie

Maeve Rojas || 2nd November 4:39

Disgusting me, I saw Nate Mcauley, my sister and someone in a black hoodie. I could hear vague screams from Bronwyn; Nate was arguing with the mysterious figure. Swallowing my fear, Janae held my hand as we approached my house.

"Maeve..." Bronwyn began,"go... now!" Feeling a panick attack approaching, Janae tugged on my hand speeding to her bike. As the tears rolled down my face, she placed a helmet on me once again then peddling as fast as she could. "It's going to be okay," she reassured me.

Looking back, I got a glimpse of who was in the hoodie. "Hey... am I seeing shit or is that Addy's perfect boyfriend?" I asked my lip quivering. Janae quickly took a look before turning back to face the road. "You're not seeing shit... that's him," her eyes widened.

Hearing an engine rev behind us, Janae lost balance falling by a tree stump. "Run!" She commanded grabbing my hand. Out of breath, we got behind a wide tree as I slammed a hand against my lips. My heart racing, I peaked to see of he was coming.

"Hey," Janae began," its gonna be okay." There couldn't be a worst time to say that to someone, considering the fact you could possibly die. Staring at Janae, she took my hand squeezing it tightly. I bit my lip my heart fluttering as well as being petrified.

Hearing a twig snap, I ran to the next nearest tree; Janae was still squeezing my hand. I was slightly startled when I heard Jake's engine revv up again. "See its fine, he's gone," she said letting go of my hand. Holding my breath, I scanned the forest seeing only a few shot trees.

"Fuck, no one told me he had a gun!" I say sort of nervous laughing. That's when I heard another car come to a hault," what was that?" The leaves covering the ground started to crunch as I heard someone call my name. "Maeve? Are you okay?" Bronwyn called out into the woods.

"Bronwyn?" We say in unison jumping out from behind the tree. "Are you two okay?" Nate repeated his girlfriends question. "Took you two awhile," Janae critiques looking at them weirdly. "They were probably fucking," I whispered to her giggling.

"What was that?" Bronwyn questioned raising an eyebrow. "Nothing," Janae lies chuckling a little. "Better not have been Vargas," Nate says trying to sound intimidating. "Okay, play times over..." everyone had a puzzled look on their face as Bronwyn continued,"let's go."

Sitting in the back, I turned to Janae who looked as if she had just seen a ghost. "You okay?" I asked placing an arm on her shoulder for comfort. "Yeah, I'm fine," she lied wiping tears from her eyes.  "You don't look fine," I say studying her facial expression.

"You aren't blind Maeve, you saw what happened. Didn't you? Don't even try and say everything's okay, I can't deal with that," Janae said irritated. I felt almost hurt by her and my sort of smile dropped into a frown. "Sorry, I shouldn't have said that, sorry," she apologised hugging me awkwardly.

"It's fine," I say not meaning it. "Weren't you just talking about things aren't fine even if you say they are?" Janae chuckled under very breath making me do the same. I missed when Simon was alive and things were easy. I missed the old Janae. I missed the happy Janae.

"Maeve?" She questions snapping me back into reality. Simon was dead and there's nothing we can do about it. "Yeah right, I did say that." I admit regretting my previous statements.

"Hey uhmm... Bronwyn? Where're we going?" I asked confused. "That son of a bitch murderers house," Nate answers for her placing his hand on her bare thigh. I nudge Janae showing her the scene. Letting a loud chuckle pass through our lips, Bronwyn raises her middle finger at us.

Once we finally reached Jakes house, my anxiety began to build up. "Hey it's okay, he can't hurt you," Janae knew she was wrong but refused to admit it. My bottom lip quivered as the front door creeked open. Luckily, his mom answered; she deserved better than that monster.

"Bronwyn? What are you doing here?" She asked looking frail. "I was hoping to talk to your son... about his Halloween party." Another lie.

A/N: Sorry it took me so long to make this chapter. I've just been busy lately. It's also not as long as my normal chapters; I will try and get back on track.
