Because of that day (Jai Brooks Fanfic

The Great Escape?

      Since having my seizure two weeks ago, I have been cooped up in this god damn house. Jai isn't letting me go anywhere because his frightened that it will happen again. I feel like I'm on a tight leash with no freedom. I mean we are going to America in tomorrow. He can't just leave me here after I paid for my visa and ticket.

I have created an escape plan as I want to meet the guys today. I need to see them. If I don't say goodbye to them properly, then I would regret it deeply. I can't believe I won't see them for another five months. We were all planning to go to the same college but it has all changed.

I watch the clock strike one and I know it's time for the plan to go into action. So I walk down the hall then I turn left. The door is down the right. As I take the next turn, I trip over Melody. I face plant the floor which means a bump on my head will be there soon. I let out a small hiss because of the pain. I lay there for a while then I decided it is time to move.

I start to army crawl to the door as I mentally play the Great Escape tune. I'm only an inch away to freedom. To see my boys. I pull myself up gently while I quietly open the door. A fresh breeze hits my face as birds chirp their cheerful song. I take one step outside and I could feel my independence, privilege and rights coming back. Quickly but very silently I shut the door. I see Sam's black, muddy pickup truck. I sprint to the back where Dan and Taylor is sitting. They pull me up on the back as Sam begins to drive.

"How you holding up?" Dan nudges me.

"I felt suffocated because I couldn't do anything without Jai being there. I need space you know. I have on seizure and the world stops. No there is worst things happening in the world but people move forward. That's all I want to do is to just move forward. I just can't with Jai breathing down my neck 24/7 an-"

"Chill girl. You finally escaped jail. Today we are giving you the best farewell party going" Taylor grins to me.

"Thanks. I think I will need the alcohol" I laugh along with the guys.

After half an hour drive of banter, we appear to arrive at the beach. The engine dies. The boys run down to the beach as I slowly follow behind because I want to take it all in. There is no one in sight apart from the boys. All you could hear is sound of waves crashing on sand, the wind gently blowing whispers with the air while the seagulls try to sing. The warmth of the sand slides in between my toes which tickles a little bit.

"Oi slow coach hurry up" Sam shouts at me.

I race down to them as I smile with joy. Once I reach them down at edge of the sea, we all did a simple nod and dash into the sea. I let out a small squeal due to the freezing water hitting my skin. The boys stare to splash each other which is a big mistake. Their splashes are a wave that could drown me. I hold my breath while a swarm of water takes over me. I pop back up to the ocean to see them all laughing. Why? Because I have a huge pile of seaweed on my head. I watch Aaron run up behind Taylor then RKO Outta Nowhere happened.

I lay my back on top of the surface as I float on the calm water. I stare at the clear blue sky then a small beam comes to my face. This is home. It's so peaceful and everyone I want is here. I guess it is time to travel into the big wide world which I really don't want to do. I'm still lying to Jai about chemotherapy. It's hard to lie to him but as long as he believes it then it's all good.

Maybe I could stay here. I would feel free and at ease all the time. I would have my friends and go to the college or university I wanted to get into. Does Jai need me? No. Do I need him? Maybe.

"I'm going to miss you" Dan startles me.

"I'm going to miss you too. I'm going to miss everyone. I'm going to miss this place." I sigh to myself.

"You don't have to go; you know?" He smiles at me.

"I know but I can't see myself without him. Time was taken away from us even memories. I want to make sure I don't lose precious time and memories before I die. I have loads of memories with you and the guys. I only have small memories with him. Plus, I get to leave those two-faced 'friends', attempted rapist and wicked parents" I chuckle with Dan.

"I would do the same if I was in your situation. Anyway we have to meet the others for your surprise" Dan says while pulling my wrist.

I quickly stand up in the sea. I glance around to see no one is here anymore. It's just empty. The guys have left us here. Great just great. The truck is even gone which means it would be very difficult to get home. Taking the truck isn't the best surprise I have had in my life but it will do. I follow behind Dan as we stroll along the beach.

We begin to talk about some deep stuff. Dan is going on about this girl he really likes and he can see a future with her. There is a but to this, he has never met her as they have been talking online for a while. No wonder why his pulling game is going downhill. He is whipped as fuck. He does have his cute smile on his face when he talks about her. I wonder if Jai talks like that about me.

Dan and I arrive at the destination that we got told to go to. It was beautiful. All my guys standing around the bonfire with Budweiser in their hands. Music blaring from the back of the truck. I scream in excitement as I run towards the guys. I give them a huge hug as we fall to the floor.

"Let's get this party started" Sam yells out while we all cheer with him.

Aaron passes me a vodka and coke as we are singing and dancing. I chuck my phone inside the truck because Jai won't stop calling me. I just want to have a great time before leaving everyone I love here. Tay lifts me up on his shoulders as he begins to jump up and down.

"Speech" Aaron shouts which gets the others to join in.

"Alright. I would to say I love you guys. I will miss you all. Don't forget about me or I will come for you, and I will find you, then I will kill you" I laugh at them.

"You love us too much to not kill us" Tay says as he chucks me off his shoulder.

"Now I do want to kill you" I shout.

I begin to chase after Tay as he runs around like a headless chicken while spilling his beer everywhere. I threw my plastic cup at his huge head as I lose my drink in the process. We both trip over laughing which causes the others to laugh at us. Yeah not with us, at us. We all calm down, well actually we just stop laughing but we are still hyper or drunk. I'm not too sure really.

I'm the last one standing while my fellow friends are sound asleep on the beach. I look out to the horizon which reveals light coming to wake up the world. Slowly, the night comes to the end. The end of my life in Australia. The end of my friendship. The end of my past mistakes. The end of pain. The end of sorry. The beginning of happiness. The beginning of no regrets. I keep my eyes set on the horizon as the thoughts circle my head.

"The beginning of a brand new adventure" I mumble to myself
