More Than Friends

chapter 15

Baileys POV

I walked in with Marie following behind. I always feel weird walking into pharmacys. Old people staring at me while I shop. (If you work at a pharmacy, I am sorry its for the old people that work there. Theyre kinda scary...)

I scroll down the medicine isle and grab some ibuprofen and benadryl. "Do you think this is good?" I ask Marie. I turn around to see her looking at a shelf at the end of the isle. I start walking towards her. "What are you-" I look down at a shelf with rows of purple, pink, red, and blue boxes of pads and tampons.

"Maybe youre just bloated. Youre probably about to start right?" I furrow my eyebrows and try to think. Its near the end of the month... I should be starting soon. I shouldnt be so paranoid.

"Yeah, im probably bloated." I grab a box and go back through the isle to grab some midol. "Okay, lets go." We go up to the cash register and I pay for everything.

We head home and hear jonah in the shower. I walk up to the door and knock. "Yeah?"

"Hey, I might get some food. Whatcha want? And no chipotle!"

"Awe man!" I hear shuffling and soon the door swings open and jonah walks out with a towel wrapped around his waist. "I have a surprise for you." He winks at me and puts his hand on my back. "This way." He starts to lead me to the kitchen counter where theres a letter. I pick it up and start reading jonahs scribbles.

The place we met is close by
But to get there, you might need a ride

"Is this a wild goose chase or something?" Jonah knows I love clues and solving riddles. I smile and he smiles back.

"Maybe." He kisses my cheek and walks away.

The place we met.... thats 40 miles from here! I sigh and pack snacks and a pair of clothes in a bag, who knows how long this might be.

I head out and hop into my car.

I walk up to the old house and stare. This was the time my life changed. I met my idols and began working for them and now, im dating one after he cheated on me. A lot has happened.

I walk up to a bush placed right next to the broken house. I see a piece of paper sticking out with a piece of candy and I grab it.

This is a place we love to meet
But daniel doesnt like to eat

Chocolate factory! I hop in my car and drive about 12 miles to the chocolate factory. I hop out and run inside.

"Good afternoon, ms.bailey." A man working there says. He stood behind a small counter and I smile and walk up to him.

"Im looking for a letter or note from jonah?" He nods and bends down to grab something and hands it to me.

"Is this it?" He hands me a piece of paper and a rose.

"Yes, thank you." I grab it and open the folded up paper.

up high I gave you a bracelet
But down low is where you will take it

Bracelet? Up high? The carnival!

I run to my car and quickly start the engine.

-

I walk over to the gate and see all the openings closed. Well great. I notice a wired fence along the back and my gears start turning. I run over and place my hands on it. Ok laziness, time to climb this fence.

I take a deep breath before I place my feet up and begin climbing. I swing my leg over and hop down.

I collect my balance and begin slowly walking to the farris wheel. The place smelt like barf and I almost puked myself. I plugged my nose and proceeded forwards.
