20♢ Change & Search

♢ Alice's POV ♢

Ben wouldn't pick up his phone, he wouldn't answer any messages and I was on the verge of filing a missing person report.

That's when the doorbell rang. I ran down stairs -thinking it was Ben getting his long board- and swung open the door.

Guess who came for a visit?

Liz.

"Hey?" I said, not sure what to say to someone who has been avoiding me.

"Hey." She said, shyly.

"Alice, who's at the-" I heard Lisa start to ask.

"-door?" She finished when she emerged from the stair case.

"Look, I know I've been weird lately, but I wanna be there for my best friend during a breakup." Liz explained.

"She's right!" Lisa pipped in.

"We are gonna do something that every heart broken girl wants to do!" Lisa exclaimed.

"What?" Liz and I asked in unison.

"We.... are going to make a change." Lisa finished.

Oh no.

<Time skip>

Lisa opened my car door and I shook my head. Liz rolled her eyes.

"Come on, Al. You were okay with it a minute a go." She pleaded.

I sighed and nodded before getting out of the car and walking toward the tatto & piecing place.

I walked into the place and bit my lip. Not cause I was scared.... but because I was excited.

"What'll it be?" A big looking guy, covered in tattoos and piercings asked as he emerged from the counter.

I looked around till I spotted a really cool looking picture and smirked. Liz and Lisa had that 'Uh oh I know that face' look.

"That one." I said, pointing to that picture peaking out of Heineken posters on the wall.

He smilled and guided me to a chair.

After it was done he put a sheet in front of my face. (Piecing pic on the side.)

"Ready?" He asked Liz and Lisa.

I heard them squeal in suprise and excitement as he moved the sheet.

"You look so bad ass!" Lisa exclaimed. I giggled and Liz beamed.

"All you need is a leather jacket. Oh! And that ruby red lip stick and-" Lisa rambled on.

'Bush', the guy that did my piercings raised an eyebrow.

"She's just excited." I whispered. He chuckled and nodded.

<Time skip>

All I could think about as we watched Transformers was the 'K' word.

What if he needs my help?

What if he wants me to wait for him?

What if he joined the Military?

Wait, how would a vamp-

"Ok, your obviously not with us." I heard Liz say. I snapped out of my thoughts and I realized that they had turned the TV off.

"Oh, umm." I tried to think of an excuse.

"Look, I know your thinking about Ko-" Liz started.

"Mmm- The K word." Lisa fake coughed. I rolled my eyes.

"Alright, well.... KK is probably just-"

Then I had the best idea ever.

"Wait! I think I know how to find him!" I exclaimed.

"What do you-" Lisa started.

"Ok, you know how people at school call us Creeper 1# and creeper 2#?" I asked.

"Those low life weasels...." Lisa grumbled.

"Well, the reason I have those break down is because I see numbers." I blurted.

Lisa looked at me like I had finally lost it and Liz seemed to understand.

"Like..... when that girl in collage died.... The night before I saw 44 and 22..." I said.

"The 22 year old girl and dorm room 44." Lisa gasped. Liz was silent and just started ahead.

"Yes, whenever something bad happened I get clues...." I trailed off.

"Oh! Did you think you could find out my next test score?" Lisa asked.

"It doesn't work that way. When I first met K-Kol...... I saw 22, 17 and 9."

Lisa hopped up and clapped her hands, gaining our attention.

"Alright! I'll call Noah. Liz, you look around the neighbourhood! Alice, do your thang!" Lisa ordered.

We all giggled and they left.

I tried to concentrate.
I pictured the numbers and the glare was even more intense. The black engulfed the numbers.

My eyes snapped open and I found myself laying down on the dock.

"I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy"

The Monster started to play and I frantically jumped up. I searched my pocket for my phone.

I saw it on the edge of the dock and lunged for it. I ended up on my stomach and catching it before it fell off the edge.

"Hello." I said breathlessly.

"Alice!" The voice from the other side of the phone exclaimed, panicked.

"Ben?" I said reconising the frantic voice of my friend.

"I found Kol! Meet me at the storage locker!" He said.

"Wher-" I cut myself off, heading the long beep.

He must have hung up.

I guess I was going to the storage locker.
