I locked the doors of Forever 21 and walked out of the mall. I pulled my denim jacket closer to my body as the chilly summer night air hit me. I had just gotten out of work and I was really tired after moving in to a new place in just one day. I really just wanted to go to my new home and rest. The house was actually nice. It had five bedrooms,three bathrooms and a theater room. I was so thankful for Jeylin's dad for helping us out. Jeylin's dad always told me and Jacky that we were like the other daughters that he dreamed of having but he never had. As kids, he would tell us that if we wanted anything to just tell him but we never really asked for anything because we didnt like taking advantage of people's money. Thanks to him now we have a gorgeous new house with an amazing view. Our new home was actually right next to the boy's but ony Jacky and I had noticed. I looked around. Jeylin was suppose to pick me up a few minutes ago. I stood there impatiently tapping my foot.
"Karen?" I heard someone say from behind. Oh no. I recognized that voice. It was Jack. I decided to walk the opposite direction but three guys stood in front of me, blocking my path. I turn back around. I was surrounded.
"H-hey guys" I said nervously.
"Where are you going?" Zach said, touching my nose with his index finger. I raised an eyebrow and bit my lip. I was trying to smile or laugh because i always did that when I was nervous.
"Why havent you been answering our calls or texts?" Jack asked.
"I uh- lost my phone." I said, shrugging.
"Oh really then what's that on your hand?" Daniel asked.
"Wow its a miracle I found my phone. Thanks Daniel."
"So we have to surround you for you to talk to us?" Jonah asked. Daniel shot him a serious look but Jonah ignored him.
"You guys moved?"
"Did we?"
"Stop being sarcastic Karen. This is serious. Where have you guys been?" Jonah said, raising his voice.
"Chill dude" Daniel whispered to him
"Oh im sorry Dad. I didnt want you to worry. I didnt know I had to tell you everything Im doing"
"Wel-"
"Where is Jacky?" Corbyn asked, interrupting Jonah before he could say anything else.
"Where's Jeylin?"
"We're fine! We have just been stressing out over the moving thing."
"You didn't even tell us you were moving. We could've helped."
"We didnt need help."
"Where did you guys moved?"
"A house." I replied, biting my lip.
"Why is your phone off?"
"Why did you send us the word tentacles, enchiladas, and tacos? Where you hungry?"
"Whats going on with you guys?"
"Is their a secret message behind your text message?"
Oh no. I gasped for air and tried to find a way to get away. I didn't want to have a panic attack in front of them.
"Guys stop! She doesnt look so good." Zach said, taking my phone in his hands and helping me sit down on the sidewalk. In the corner of my eye, I saw Jeylin pulling up. She pulled her window down.
"Get in." She mouthed. I slowly nodded.
Jacky, who was in the backseat, opened the door.
"You guys its Mark!" I said, pointing them to the opposite direction. They all turned. I grab onto my backpack and ran inside the car. I closed the door behind me.
"Sorry we can't be seen talking to you" Jeylin screamed as she drove away. I looked back. They were all looking athe car,dumbfounded. I bit my lip. I wanted to go back and hug them and tell them everything but I wasn't taking any chances.
I turned back to the girls.
"Im sorry they surrounded me and they made me talk to them. Im sorry i didnt want to put them in dang-"
"Karen stop it wasnt your fault."
"You didn't tell them about the messages did you?"
I shook my head.
"Wait, where's my phone?" My eyes widened, realizing that Zach had my phone.
"I was having a panic attack and Zach said i didn't look so good. So he grabbed my phone and helped me sit down. When i saw you, all i wanted to do was get away from them so i forgot about it."
"Your phone doesnt have a password." Jacky said. I gulped and nodded. The boys were about to find out about the threats and that we lived right next door to them.
