its the next morning and juno is feeling like a prisoner held hostage with an extraordinary mission to break out of captivity
It was morning and I had a plan.
I knocked on Blaze's bedroom door politely as I'm going to try and plead him to help me escape. "What do you want?" he said with a slur as he opened the door, "can I come in?" I asked.
Blaze's room is a smelly, dirty pit of food and several masturbation experiences and unfortunately, I happen to be in that pit. "Again I ask, what do you want?" said Blaze, I told him to sit down and brace himself for the crazy shit that was about to come out of my mouth,
"Let's sneak out," I said.
Blaze looked at me for a minute then broke into hysterical laughter "we're not sneaking out anywhere," he said as he walked to the window and lit a cigarette. Blaze is a tough nut to crack but I'm willing to convince him to help me. "Look, Blaze you gave me 2 tickets to go see Frank Ocean live with your own hard earned money and now you wanna' throw that hard work all away because of one little obstacle?" I said passionately "I appreciate your eye-opening speech but even if I do agree to help you sneak out how are you gonna' get to the concert? Where are you gonna' sleep? If something fucks up what phone do you have to call emergency services, see, you obviously didn't think this through. The city of the concert is like 5 hours away and how the fuck do you think you're gonna' get there" he said. He had good points, and I really didn't think of how I was going to get there, "listen, Blaze, I know you don't really agree with what I'm saying but we can make this work I promise. We can convince Logan to come with us so we can drive his car and also I have a secret stash of old phones and shit, we can use that for emergencies and about sleeping? We could camp or sleep in a car" I suggested. Blaze turned to me, "Juno this is not a good idea" he said, "oh come on Blaze! This can be such a cool adventure, I've called Suki and she said she's down to come with me, just please consider it" I begged, he chuckled, "I have one last question"What about mom and dad?" he asked.
"Fuck, I don't know" I admitted. "When you have this figured out come back to me," he said. "I do have it figured out, mom and dad both leave the house at 4:34pm on a Thursday, mom goes to physio and dad goes to his stupid debate club. When they both leave I can quickly grab the house keys in mom's drawer and we can go to Logan's house" I said hoping Blaze would reconsider.
"Fine, I'll help you," he said. I shrieked and smiled as I ran to wrap my arms around his scrawny body "thank you, Blazey!" I exclaimed. "Don't call me that you fucking weirdo, get out of my room" he said as he pushed me out.
The next thing I needed to do was tell Suki about the plan, it's not completely figured out yet but by the end of the day we should have something.
"Hey Juno" said Suki, "hey Suki, are you still down for the concert on Friday?" I asked "fuck yeah, I'm so excited" said Suki "but I swear you're grounded though, how are you possibly gonna' convince your mom to let you go?" She asked. "My mom and dad both leave at 4:30pm and that will give us enough time to find the hidden keys and take a bus to Logan's house, after that we'll come and pick you up in his car but make sure you're ready for us. Pack a bag with some clothes and if you can bring a spare phone and some money, and maybe some food too, just anything you think you might need for a mini road trip," I explained "Juno, are you sure this is a good idea, what if things go wrong" asked Suki, "they won't trust me, me and Blaze have a plan sorted out and we already know what to do, just don't panic it's gonna' be so cool!" I said to her reassuringly. "Well I trust you and I'm down, see you on Friday Juno" she said as she hung up."Juno!" Shouted Blaze from upstairs, "Juno I need to tell you something!" He said. I quickly ran upstairs and into Blaze's room.
"What's the matter?" I asked, "I just overheard mom talking to her physiotherapist, she might not be going this week" said Blaze. Fuck fuck fuck! "What!" I exclaimed, "so what are we going to do? We can't go anywhere when she's still in the house" I said. "I know but I think I might have an idea" said Blaze.Blaze walked into my moms room sitting down on the edge of her bed, "mom" he said, "what is it Blaze" she replied looking up from her stupid romance novel, "I was reading an article today on physiotherapy and stuff, and I was surprised to see that if you don't do it regularly it can really mess up your body" lied Blaze, "oh can it?" Said my mom "yeah it can, I also learned about it ages ago in science, I just want your leg to get better that's all" said Blaze smiling. "Why thank you Blaze, I was actually thinking of skipping physio this week but now I don't think I'd want to do that" she replied, "you're welcome mom, just looking out for you" said Blaze as he smiled and walked out of her room.
Blaze approached me smiling uncontrollably "she bought it" he said. "Yes!" I whispered. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, the plan better work out tomorrow and if it does we'll be on our way to Frank Ocean in no time.
