Breaking Free [1]

Joey

Daniel

I woke up. I looked at the time. 5:46am. I heard someone puking. I got up to see who it was.

"L-Lauren? Why are you puking? Did you eat something?" I ask.

"N-no. I want to tell you. B-but I'm afraid." She responds.

"What wrong? You can tell me. You don't have to be afraid." I show her my pinky. We did a pinky promise and she sat in front of the toilet.

"I've only told Joey. The truth is, I'm pregnant and have been eating wrong. So maybe it was food..." Lauren explains to me.

"Lauren! Why didn't you tell me. Better question, why haven't you told Alex?" I ask.

"I'm afraid that he won't wanna be with me anymore." She answers.

"That wouldn't happen. He loves you more than anything." I slowly help her feel better.

"Wanna look for Joey?" She asks.

"I think he needs his space." I reply.

"To bad Joey! I'm getting dressed and going. And you have no choice to stay. You need to help a pregnant lady get around."

"Fine." I agree. We then get dressed and leave a note.

Liza

I walk around organizing stuff.

"Helloo." I hear a familiar voice. I turn and look.

"Well, well, well. Look who it is! Hello, Prince Joseph." I say back to him.

"What's your plan?" He asks me.

"What? Which one?" I joke.

He smirks. "I can read you like a book. Spill."

"I'm not telling you. You'd be the last person I would ever tell."

"Whatever." He says. I don't like him. And I know he doesn't like me. I'm okay with that.

Lauren

We walk around the dark streets slowly.

"What if he doesn't remember us? What if he doesn't like us?" Daniel asked me.

"Stop asking questions!" I say. "It's getting annoying."

He laughs. "I'm just nervous."

"I know." I giggle. "Let's go to the one place we did when we met that one girl."

"Sure."

We walk to the shack, and boom! I was right. He's in there with, Liza? Yeah. Daniel and I share a look. He then waves to Liza and heads to the door.

"Move! Go go!" I say and we hide behind a trash can. He walks out and slams the door.

"I can see you. Come one guys." He says and faces us.

"Maybe he thinks we are here. Let's just be quiet." Daniel whispers.

He then walks over to us.

"Lauren. Daniel. What are you doing?" He asks as he stands right in front of us.

"Ummm, Daniel, what are we doing here." I say looking at Daniel.

"Screw you." He says to me and we both laugh.

"Are you stalking me?" He asks.

"Not exactly..." I answer.

"More of a, follow, to see if you're okay..." Daniel finishes.

"I'm fine. Thank you. You can leave now." Joey replied to us and then turned around and walked away.

I giggle. "Okay. Let's go back." I say. Daniel agrees and we start walking.

We get back about 5 mintues later.

"That was a waste of time." Daniel says as he flopps onto his bed.

"It's fine. Look! He left his spell book!" I say as I dangle it in my hand.

"Let's look through it!" He replies.

Daniel

We sit on my bed and look through Joey's spell book.

"Invisibly, disguise... these spells are incredible!" Lauren says.

I turn the page. "Beware true loves kiss. Wonder what that is supposed to mean." I say.

"Idea!" Meghan yells when I say that and then jumps over to us.

"Are you eavesdropping us?" I ask.

"Maybe.... but anyway! The true love kiss spell! Maybe you could get rid of the curse by kissing him. You guys have a spark!" Meghan suggests.

"I don't think he understands some of that stuff." I reply.

"What do you mean?" Lauren asks.

"When I said I love you or told him how much I love him, he doesn't say anything back. Or, when we fell in the enchanted lake, I went to kiss him, bit he pulled away." I amswered.

"What if he's not ready. We just need to make a plan." Meghan said.

They were right. I'm sure this kiss wound work though. I thought it was dumb, but they gave me reasons why it could work.

I just want Joey back.
