Maria's POV
The memory of that day at the lake made me want to cry. Once they agency was done asking me questions Jack took me home. My Dad was already waiting for me. I got into the house and he ran up to me and gave me a big hug. "I'm glad your okay." He said. He then noticed Jack. "This isn't Mike." He said. Ugh why did he have to say that. "Dad, Mike is dead! He is dead because of Noah. The only reason i was kidnapped was because he went missing first i went to looking for him. Thats how this whole thing happened" I explained. His reaction was as shocked as when i found Mike. I looked back a jack who was smiling because i was reunited with my dad. My dad then let me go and i went over to Jack and gave him a hug. "Thank you" I whispered into his ear. He then let me go. "Maria i have talk to you when Jack leaves" My dad said. "Actually i was just about to go." Jack said and walked out of the door. "Dad what's going on?" I asked. He didn't answer at first but finally started talking. "We are moving! I don't want anything like this to happen again." He said. I looked like he was crazy. I just got back and we are already moving. "Where are we moving to?" I asked. "California. We are moving to California." He said. WE WERE MOVING 3,000 MILES AWAY. How am i going to tell Jack? suddenly I received a text:
Hey Mar its Jack , can you meet me at the Starbucks in like five minutes.
I texted jack back telling him okay and that I really needed to tell him something. He said okay as I was walking out of my house. I got in my dads pick up truck. lucky for me the Starbucks is down the street from my house . I started the car and drove down the street. I arrived at the Starbucks and saw jack sitting at one of the tables with two drinks in front of him. I walked up in front of him and sat down. he had gotten me a Vanilla Bean frappe with Carmel drizzle on top. My favorite. "Hi" i said. "Hey i got you your favorite."he said. He then got up and hugged me. after that I sat down and started to drink my Starbucks. "Look I need to talk to you!" he said. "So do I. You first" I said to him. " okay I am doing a concert with Jack Gilinsky and I am wondering do you want to come with me?" he asked. I wanted to go but I couldn't cause of the whole moving thing. "I can't. Look, the thing I have to tell you that I am moving to L.A at the end of the week. I'm really sorry Jack." I told. "No save it Maria! I was hoping that we would be together for longer than this but I guess not! even though we have been together for a week I am still not going to live in an LDR (long distance relationship). we are DONE!!!!" he said then stormed off to his car. a tear slipped down my face I couldn't believe it. he just ended it and didn't try to work things out with me. I walked upset to my dads car and drove off past my house. I passed all the buildings that I grew up seeing. but then something caught my eye. by the old lake their was crime scene tape. I pulled over to the side of the rode and watched as the investigators started to take away the bodies of my friends though there was a person talking to the police. it wasn't just any person though it was MIKE. He look over in my direction. He was all wet and his arm was cut. He then ran up to me and kissed me. he pulled away and hugged me. "I am so glad you are okay!!!" he said. "How did you survive the bomb?" I asked. he just continued to hug me. I was okay with that. He then let me go and started speaking. "when the bomb went off I was only stun for a few seconds. I then went under water and found a cave after the stun wore off I was there for a week and then the police came and found me." he said. I was so relived that he was alive. all of a sudden his eyes started to shut. he fell to the ground and hit his head on a rock. the police officers rushed over and helped into a nearby ambulance. they started to examine his head. their was blood everywhere. the all doesn't make any sense. why would Noah do all of this if he knew what the outcome was? I started running. I ran as far and as fast as I can to the police station. I got the in under a minute because it isn't that far from the lake. I ran in side and begged to see Noah. finally they gave me a visitors pass and opened the front gate. they led me to a room with a dark blue door. I opened it up and there sitting at the silver table was Noah. he looked up at me. "I thought you were dead." he said. " well obviously I'm not because I was saved." I told him as I went to go sit down. "Oh yeah by who" he asked in an angry tone. "Nash" I told him snapping back. " he told me he wasn't going to betray me!" he yelled. "WHAT?!?!?!? you mean to tell me that Nash was working for you this entire time?!?!?!?!" I said starting to get mad. "yes but allow me to explain." he said. "Okay but hurry i don't have much time!" I said. "It all started with my date with Kayla. I met you guys then and it seemed like you guys were a good group of friends but one thing in particular made me think. I started to creat the bomb at a secret location" Noah said. "Your parents garage is not a secret location!" I said laughing. "Anyways, after a couple of months i started to make a plan to kiddnap one of you guys. If i got one of your friend then they were all bo2und to go look for them. So i decided to go for kayla but when i noticed that you were all with kayla and she kicked you out of RV then i knew i had to go for Mike. He was standing behind you all so i ran up and covered his mouth and knocked him out. after that I took him over to the lake and tied him up. He layed there for like an hour before you guys started to look for him. that is obviously when I threatened you and hit you and tied you up and everything after that happened." Noah said. "But how was Nash working with you?" I asked. That confussed me a little. It didn't seem like he was. "When we were in 7th grade he said that if i did some for him the he would do something for me. I dont remember what he asked me to do though, but to pay back hos end of the bargin i asked him to do this for me." He said. I was still a little confused. I then heard my phone ring. It was my dad.
Call with dad
Maria:hello
Dad:hey are you on your way back to the house we are leaving tonight at midnight.
Maria:yeah on my way now
Dad:okay good.
End of call
"Noah i have to go i am moving to L.A" I told Noah but he was already gone. So i went back to my dads car and drove home. I got back to my house and everything was all packed in the moving truck. "I want you to follow behind me in the truck and I will drive the moving truck." My dad said. And that was the day my story ends in fl8rida and starts in L.A .
