"Hey, Beth. You ready?" Jeremy asks walking into their room.
"I just, need an extra minute," she says slightly tearing up.
"Whatever you need babe," he says sitting down next to her.
She puts her head in his shoulder, starting to cry."Look, I know it's hard, but it'll get fun going back. We get to see the gang again!" Jeremy says trying to cheer her up.
"Not everyone," she mutters.
"C'mon, Beth. It'll be okay, I promise."
"Okay, let me get the rest of my things," she says whipping her face.They walk to Jeremy's Cadillac, which he had since highschool. It was weird that it lasted that long. They usually don't. He started the car, and started the 4 hour trip to the lodge. They were singing songs along the way, Beth even put on some AC/DC, which surprised Jay. He didn't even know that she like it, and they had been dating since freshman year.
"Jeremy?"
"Yes, Bethlehem?"
"Ok, you call me that again, and I'll kill you! But, have you like, talked to anyone about this?"
"What do you mean?"
"Like, Chris or Ashley?"
"Oh, well I talked to Matt about it."
"And?"
"He was excited to see us all again."
"Is that it?"
"Well, no. He was wondering if you were okay."
"Awe, thanks Matty."
"He's a good person, I'm sure you know that."
"Yeah, I do."4 painful hours later
"Finally!" Jeremy says getting out of the car.
"Yeah, home sweet home," Beth says getting her bags.
"Please, allow me," Jay says grabbing her bags.
"Oh, such gentlemen like."
"Just looking out for the live of my life," he says.They make their way up the mountain, Jeremy struggling because he was carrying 4 bags.
"I can take one, Jay," she says laughing.
"Okay fine, you win," he says giving her two.
"Um, I said one," she says in a bitchy voice, but still having that cute smile of hers.
"Please don't do this to me!" He says looking up.
"I'm kidding," she says taking her bags.Up ahead, they see two people at the cable car station, it was Chris and Sam. They were at the shooting range behind the station.
"Okay, what the hell is a shooting range doing here?" Sam asks.
"Um, have you met Josh's dad? He thinks he's like Grizzly Adams or something," Chris says.
"Hey guys!" Jay says.
"Jeremy, Beth. What's going on," Chris asks.
"Oh just, doing what we do best," Beth says.
"So, never talking to us?" Sam asks. "I'm kidding."
"Uh, yeah sorry about that," Jay says.
"Oh, the cable car is here," Beth says.
"Let's go!" Chris says in a Mario accent.Matt and Emily
Matt was Emily's new boyfriend. He honestly didn't really like her, he was more into Jessica. Jeremy knew about it, but like a good best friend should, he kept it a secret.
Emily was a huge bitch. She had always seen herself as being above other because of her smarts. This is why she is usually disliked a lot of the time.
"Let's hope Josh has a feast planned for us, cuz I'm starving," Matt says opening the gate.
"Yeah, me too," Emily says walking in.
"Do you think it's weird, coming back up of the mountain?" He asks.
"I mean, yeah," she responds.
As they are walking down the small bridge, Mike jumps out of the woods, scaring them half to death.Mike was dating Jessica. He was a strong man with a bright future. A bit of a dick though.
"God dammit, Mike!" Matt says.
"You really should have seen the look on your faces," he says laughing.
"Michael!" Em yells.
"Oh come on, I'm just getting into get in the spirit of things."
"The spirit of things, really Mike what is wrong with you!" She snapped back.
"I'm just trying to lighten the mood, Em don't be like that."
"Like what?"
"The way you're getting you always get like this.""Listen, Mike. I'm just gonna lay this down now or this weekend's gonna suck ass for everyone. Em and I are together now and that's just how it's gonna be, alright?" Matt says.
"Alright man, I get it," Mike says.
"We cool?"
"All good."
"Okay, are you guys gonna make out now?" Emily asks.
"Oh yeah, we're so gonna make out," Mike says in a girly voice.
"Okay well, we're gonna get to the lodge," Matt says.
"Okay, see ya!" He says walking past them."Oh shit, Matt. I gotta go find Sam," Emily says.
"What why?"
"I forgot I have to go tell her something."
"This can't wait, we're almost there."
"Please, Matt!"
"Fine, go."
"Thanks hon," she says blowing a kiss to him.
He acts like he catches it and walks up the mountain.Jess
Jessica was kinda like the blonde stereotype. She was pretty, and was dating Mike. Though she had feelings for Matt too.
She walks over to the door of the station, that's when she hears Sam from the other side.
"Jessica! Can you help us," she says.
"Um, are you guys having a really weird stroke?"
"We're stuck in this stupid thing!" Chris says.
Jessica let's them out, Chris walks out all dramatic, like he always does."Oh my god, it thought we were goners. Ten more minutes in there and I woulda chewed off my own leg," he says.
"Oh sick Chris," Sam says.
"Hey, he's got a lot of meat on his bones," Jay says.
"Damn straight, it's all muscle down here," he says pointing at his thighs.
"I didn't say that, Chris," Jay says.
"Can we get to the lodge now, please?" Beth asks.
"Um, yeah let's go babe," Jay says following her.
Chris, Sam and Jess soon follow.Ashley
Ashley was a shy brunette, was a huge bookworm with a dreamy, far off look. She would normally go down the hallways at school with a book in her face.
She was looking through a telescope, that's when she saw Mike and Emily. They were talking and hugging. That's two eyes came through the telescope, scaring the hell out of her.
Matt came around the other side, laughing his ass off.
"Jeez louise, Matt!" She says poking him.
"Damn, sorry Ash," he says. "Hey, whatcha lookin at?"
"Oh um, take a look."Matt looks through the telescope, seeing Mike and Emily.
"Oh son of a bitch!" He says.
"Look, Matt it's probably nothing."
"Is it ever just nothing, with Em?" He says walking away.
"Matt!" She says following him.
