Things Change

Chapter 3

Jamie's head bobbed as the bus hit another bump. Here they were shoved on another bus. This one was comfy somewhat. The seats were a little more spaced out. The family trio all sat together in a seat. It was comfortable. Jamie blasted music in his ear while Shay talked to Max. They were just chatting. It was night time now and they learned theyd be taking a plane soon. A bus ride wasnt enough to get there.

Shay felt uneasy, she hated planes. She kept thinking of all the things that could go wrong.

Luckily the plane was private, only for the students.

...

Finally they were on the plane. The teacher sorted out the bedding arrangements, since this plane was crazy and had rooms.

Shay got bunked with Max, and Jamie after he convinced the teacher. They all sat in their room and there was silence besides Shay playing music in the shower.

"Guysssssss this is odd, I'm scared this plane is gonna falll!" her voice cried from the bathroom.

"God Shay you're so paranoid, nothins gonna happen!" Max yelled out. Then they began to bicker while Jamie just chilled.

It was a double bed room with a suite bathroom. It also had a dresser and closet. More like something a yacht would have, but thanks rich guy. The wall paper was a simple gray and the bedding was black, the pillows white. Dark brown hardwood floors. Wow. This room looked amazing.

A knock sounded on the door scaring them into silence. Shay threw Max into the closet with Jamie and whispered "Dont do it people are gonna come kidnap us." Jamie rolled his eyes and got out ehen he heard the teacher call out "Jamie..? Shay..? MAX..?" he answered the door and the teacher barged in with another raven haired boy.

"Alright sorry to spring this on you guys but hes going to be staying here until the end of the trip..." she looked at him suspiciously and continued "...and dont do anything to Shay... Or Ill leave you behind in Paris."

He shook his head and she left. The room was in absolute silence for about 10 seconds until Max stared going crazy

"WHO THE- WHAT THE- WHOTHEFUCKINGHELLISYOUWHATISYOUDOININTHISROOMWHATTHEFUCKDIDYOUDO?!"

Shay's face got redder with every cuss word he said. She gave him one hard slap across the back of his head. Thump. He face planted into the floor.

"Whats your name...?" Jamie asked him suspiciously.

The raven haired guy didnt answer. He just stared at Max annoyed. Silence filled the room.

"Fine, we'll just call you Raven. Since your hair..." Raven didnt answer, he just sighed irritatedly and stood there. Jamie was making plans for bedding.

"Kay so, you can share a bed with Max, cause you dont look gay I guess, Shay is sharing with me since I'm her brother." Jamie said simply.

Raven looked like a vein busted in his forehead at the "not looking gay" part but still kept silent.

Max just started to complain.

"Stop your bitching and whining for fucks sake cmon-" Jamie was cut off from Shay smacking him on the head.

He groaned. Raven looked amused at Shay's reaction.

"Yall just- uhhhhgggg" she stormed off into the bathroom once more.

...

Finally it had been 3 days on their flight and they were currently in the airport waiting for their belongings. Guards were stationed around their classes and they ignored the constant chatting from everyone else.

...

Great, stuck in another room. A hotel to be exact. They were currently locked in their rooms until dinner would be brought up.

Needless to say, Raven was in another room.

Well Max is happy. Shay is not, he became another friend of hers. They got along pretty well.

Jamie was suspicious of him. He didnt talk around them, just Shay. He showed almost no emotions. Hes weird.

...

Finally the next day they were allowed to go out and look around. Then again, 14 year olds need to be supervised. The family trio had a teacher by them, talking about the hot men and stuff. She was just another teacher that wasnt married and was looking for a sexy french man to sweep her off her feet.

"Wait here." she said, then abruptly walked away. They saw her walk up to this french man, looked like the conversation was good.

Jamie raised an eyebrow. Wasn't she supposed to watch them? Some teacher. They watched as she went into the bar with the french man.

"Welp might as well walk around. She ain't comin out anytime soon." Max said and started walking.

...

"Oh god no. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!" a voice screamed. It was Shay.

Currently the trio was lost...thanks to Max.

They walked more. It was silent. "Guys you know there are gangs around right? We need to go somewhere safe." Shay said quitely. It was deathly still in the streets.

Before he could respond, Jamie felt something grab his arm and he was yanked in the alley. The pair walking beside him didnt notice. He felt something wet on his face and felt darkness close in. Oh god no...chemicals. He yanked it off, made one last blood curdling scream, and closed his eyes.

Shay's blood went cold at his scream. She wanted to turn around fight, but she was frozen.

Max jumped around and saw the figure of a large man fist coming at him. Pain flashed through him and he collapsed. He fell to the ground and the darkness closed in. He whispered "run..." and closed his eyes.

Shay heard him. Her voice was gone and her blood was cold. Her legs moved of her own accord as she sped through the streets. She screamed out "help! HELP!" she turned another corner bust smashed into a hard chest. She felt a pinch on her neck. Darkness faded in and she collapsed but was caught in his arms. "Amber..." she whispered.

And closed her eyes.
