Insanity

Chapter 2: Suprise Call

Dakota's P.O.V.
​I unlocked Aleea's front door with my key that they had made for me. I tiptoed through her living room, and was walking past the kitchen and I saw that Aleea's mom was drinking coffee at the table. Her dad's car wasn't outside so I knew that he was at work.
​Her mom rolled her eyes and chuckled at me when she saw where I was headed. I snuck into her room unnoticed, took a deep breath, and said, "Aleea, wake up! We need to leave if we want to get to the airport on time!"
She moaned and I rolled my eyes, "I want a hug... IT'S MY EIGHTEENTH BIRTHDAY," I exclaimed excitedly.
​"All right, I'm up. Don't get your panties in a bunch."
I stood up on her bed and started jumping up and down chanting, "Aleea Routt is a trout," just to annoy her.
She stood up with me and yelled, "Just because it is your birthday doesn't mean that I can't beat you up. Besides I think that I deserve an extra few minutes of sleep. I am just going to wear this," while pointing at her lime green tank top and batman sweatpants.
"Oh no you aren't. Not on my watch. You are going to go put on something presentable and fix your hair. It looks like a dodo bird built a nest in it."
"Ugh, I hate you. Did you know that," she groaned.
"That's the spirit! Now go get ready."
She walked into the bathroom and started rummaging around for about fifteen minutes, all while I was walking around her room to make sure everything was packed and ready to go. She walked out of the bathroom in a poofy black dress with pink linings and silver sandals. She looked absolutely beautiful. I don't know how Brodie could have did what he did to her. She does not deserve that kind of treatment.
"You look stunning. If you weren't my best friend I would be hitting on you right now," I said with my mouth drooped open.
She blushed and giggled out a, "Stop it."
We walked into the kitchen where Aleea's mom was waiting for us with tears in her eyes. Aleea took one look at her and ran up to her for a huge hug. They were crying and getting all emotional so I joined in on the hug to add some humor to a tough time. They started laughing and hugged me back.
Aleea's mom looked at her and said with a scowl, "I know you are accident prone, but please try not to do anything reckless and/or stupid."
"Don't worry Mrs. Routt, I will make sure that she is safe. She is my best friend and I won't let anything happen to her. I will guard her with my life. You have my word."
"Thank you Dakota. I know that she is an adult now but she is still my baby. You are like a son to me and I trust you," her mom said. She then turned to Aleea as well and said, "I love you both. Be good. I sure will miss having you guys around. By the way happy birthday Dak0ta!"
"Bye mom. I love you too!"
"Bye Mrs. Routt. I love you too and thank you! Remember that you are like a mom to me. I know this is emotional and stuff but you all have said your goodbyes! Now Aleea, let's go! Showtime. We gotsta go pick up Marissa. Let's hope she is more motivated than you were, otherwise we will never get to the airport," I said while grabbing her stuff and walking out to the car.
My hands were full with all of her stuff since I wouldn't let her help with it, so I got to the trunk and panted out, "Could you open up the trunk? Your stuff is exceptionally heavy."
She ran around to the back where I was and opened up the back. I shoved the stuff in and made room for Marissa's stuff when we go to get her. I went around to Aleea's side and opened up the door for her so she could get in and I bowed. She chuckled and curtsied back before getting into her seat and buckling. I shut the door and walked around to my side. I got in the car and took a deep breath to calm my nerves.
I pulled out of the driveway and headed to pick up Marissa. When we got to her house, she was already outside with her bags. I put the car in park and hoped out to help her with her stuff. She got into the back of the jeep just as I was shutting the packed trunk. I ran around to my side of the car and got in. I went to put my jeep in gear but my hands were shaking.
"What's wrong," Aleea asked me.
"I don't know. I just have a weird feelin-" I got cut off by my phone ringing. I looked down at the number and I started shaking even worse.
I slid the green bar to answer the phone, put it on speaker, and whimpered, "Hello"
The voice on the other end said, "Guess who's back? Happy birthday! I know that you are moving so I guess I am just going to have to figure out where to and then I am going to find you and finish what I started two years ago. This time I will skin you alive slowly and painfully and then when I am finally done with you, I am going to slit your throat and watch you bleed out. That is my present for you. I hope that you are nervous. When you are finally getting better and situated with your new life, I will strike. And it won't be pretty. You are going to rue the day that you got me sent to this hell hole. It's just a matter of when I will find you. See you then. "
Just as quick as he started talking, he stopped. I looked over at Aleea and back at Marissa. With a shaky breath I said, "Dad's back."
