Not What You Expect.

Chapter 4: Only if

We finished dinner. Jake and Zach leave to go somewhere. I stayed at their home. I play a film. It must've been boring because I was asleep when Jake got home. He woke me up and told me to get ready for bed. Nothing much after that.

Now I am laying here on the bed trying to fall back asleep. Nothing seems to be working. I counted sheep. I tried to close my eyes. Still nothing. I just stared at the ceiling the whole time. I roll onto my side. I open the drawer that was holding the picture. Most nights if I couldn't sleep I would hold this picture. I would usually fall asleep dreaming of Sasha. I take it out. I spot the necklace laying there. I wondered why she wanted me to have it.

"Why is this important to you Sasha?" I barely whisper. Knowing I wouldn't get a reply.

I look at the picture some more. Something about her leading me to the necklace was throwing me off. I knew it wasn't really her. I could only hope. No one thought that I loved my sister the way I did. I love her, no matter if she's just bones. Actually the funeral was closed Cassatt. So know one saw the body. My parents didn't either. Maybe there's a small chance she's alive.

I fall asleep thinking about her. What if she's still alive. That would be great. I miss her. We'll meet again in another life.

When I wake up the next morning, I'm feeling tired. I don't actually remember what time it was when I finally fell asleep. I hear a thump, Jake must've fell or something. I get up. Walking down the stairs I see Zach and Jake walking out the door. I just missed them. I was okay with it though, today is their last day. Then it's summer for them. I was also glad they left, because I'm pretty sure my hair is a mess. I try to tame it before sitting down and the breakfast bar. Margret is cooking something. She smiles when she sees.

"I got Jake to take your bike home last night. He really enjoyed it."

"Mind if I go for a ride?"

"Yes. You have to get ready. Last time I let you out of my sight you were almost arrested."

"Whatever. Did my mom tell you I'm always getting in trouble? Because you can trust me. It's just a ride. Not like I'm going anywhere."

"See that's what scares me."

"It shouldn't" I groan.

"The boys only have a half day. Wait for them."

"Nah. I'm going no matter what." I get up. "And don't bother trying to stop me." I walk away.

I walk up to the room getting ready. I put on the necklace that I found. I run down the stairs and out the door. I walk over to my bike.

"Mommy's back don't worry." I get on. I paid for this bike with my own money. I got the money doing stuff. Working, and Sasha help out with the last ten dollars.

The engine purrs as I turn it on. I kick the kickstand back up. Zooming off. I love how the wind brushes my hair as I drive. I don't wear a helmet most of the time. Today however I did. I don't know why I just did. I drove around the town. Seeing every sight with my own eyes. The small town was starting to grow on me. You know what else was growing on me, hunger.

I stop outside a fast food restaurant. Putting my bike in park I get off. I walk in. I was surprised to Jake and Zach standing in line. They smile at me. I just look at the menu. I picked out some fries. That's all that sounded good to me. The boys sit down with their order waiting for me. I order, the lady looks at me like I was insane. I was thank you. She gives me a thing of fries. I then go and sit next to Zach.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked.

"We get to leave if we want a different lunch." Jake says.

"And why are you only eating fries?" Zach looks at me.

"I'm only in the mood for fries." I huff.

"Why are you here?" Jake asks.

"I went exploring."

"And my mom aloud that."

"Well not exactly." I look away.

"I swear if I come home to my mom tied up. Tori we are going to have some problems."

"Wait did you tie her up." Zach smiles.

"No. I just left without her seeing me."

"So sneaking out?" They both agreed.

"Why is this on me?" I look at them. If only looks could kill.

"I'm done with school." Jake says.

"Cool."

"What do you want to do now. Is what he's thinking," Zach laughs.

"Continue alone." I hiss.

"Not even me baby." Zach face falls.

Did he just call me. I think he did.

"Listen here buddy. I am not your baby. Nor will I ever be!" I slam my hand on the table and get up.

"What about doll?" He calls after me.

I don't answer. I didn't mind the idea. He seems like a sweet guy. But I don't know anything about him. He doesn't know much about me. I walk out of the building. Getting on my bike I drive away. I drive till dark. I don't know where I'm going, I just want to be alone.
