Broken Locks

'I'll be there!'

After what seemed like hours of arguing, very intense arguing, I finally got the boys to take me home. I told them that they should just call Tyler and tell him that I am not going to work with these boys to do that!

So they called Tyler, right in front of me, I could easily tell that Jack was getting an earful. Between the high tones on the phone, the scowl on his face and the number of times he got cut off with, "We didn't do anything to her I-" 

So with no further delay they took me home. Once inside I set my stuff on the couch and try and relax. They wanted me, to crack a safe, that only god knows is inside! They don't even know what is inside, they were asking way to much of me, It would have been an adventure, sure! But it is most definitely illegal, plus why would I want to work with someone with an attitude as sour as Jack's? 

Alex is sweet, really truly, he tries to be as kind as possible, he smiles and gives me tips. Sean, he looks like a big, scary tough guy but today showed me he's just a big 'ol teddy bear. Jack though, ugh, what a pretty face wasted on such an ugly personality! What gives him the right to be pissed with me? It's not like I chose to be in the group! 

My phone vibrates with a text from an unknown number, curious, I open it up.

'I understand you and the group didn't quite get off on the right foot... I'll be stopping by later to have a chat with you. Be ready for my arrival in an hour. No if and's or but's... -TC'

I let out a frustrated growl, I don't wanna be a part of this! What didn't he understand about that?

The home phone's voicemail beeps before starting the message. "Vivianna, honey, I hope your home now..." she starts sobbing on the other end and I sit up, automatically on alert. It's Mari's Mom. "I've left- I've left a number of messages and you- you haven't answered, I just hope your okay! But love - I- It's Marissa, she's- she's been in a bad crash- she- she was eager to talk to you, s-so she headed to school early." She breaks off sobbing even harder, chills cover my body, the blood leaving my face. 

Mari, that's why she didn't text me, didn't show up for school! I pick up the phone taking up the call with her mom. "Gloria, Gloria, where are you guys located, I'm on my way!"

"Oh, honey, we're at St. John,  please, she- I'll tell you when you get here."

"Okay be there soon." I rush out the door with my keys in hand, stopping short when I don't see my car there.

"Where is-" I stop as I remember the boys gave me a ride home. "Oh those little!" 

I debate on going against my fathers rule of calling a cab, after all it's an emergency! My best friend needs me!

Being well known, my father doesn't like me taking cabs, he has this irrational fear of me getting kidnapped for ransom or some crazy thing like that. Not wanting to get in trouble with my dad I click on Jason's contact, an old friend I can always count on. The line pick up after a few rings.

"Oh Thank God you picked up, Jason, I need a ride to the hospital, pick me up at my house. see you in 15, bye!" I hurry up and hang up rushing back inside to grab the paper with the address. 

Back out side I see Jack in his black Chevy, waiting outside. My face morphs from panic to confusion back to panic. Hell. Is it the meeting with Tyler already? I check the time, no it's not time yet. I still have 46 minutes. 

I walk up to the car and the passenger window rolls down. 

"You're early, It's not till another 46- no wait 45 minutes." I say.

"On the phone just now you said 15 minutes, I was nearby and so it took five. Why do you need a ride to the hospital?" He asks.

"How do you kno-" My eyes widen. "Did you guys tap my phone?!" I squeak.

"You called me." he states, confused.

"No I-" I pause looking at my phone, I added his contact to my phone last night when I got his information, in case I needed it, for some odd reason. So naturally his name is right before Jason's, in my blind rush I clicked on his contact instead. "Oh."

"Are we in a rush or not?" Jack asks rolling up the window, my cue to stop talking and get in.

I open the door and sit handing him the address. He takes one look at it and drives off.

"So are you gonna tell me what's going on or not?"

"Marissa, my best friend got in a real bad car crash this morning. It doesn't sound to good." I reply quietly, tears finally wanting to surface. "Why did you come?"

His jaw tightens and he focuses on the road, staying silent, signaling the conversation is over.
