I managed my way to my car. It was actually really far away. In my perspective. I didn't go home straight away because I still had to think. I wasn't thinking of my dad though, I was thinking of Marcus. I have seen him before and I know it for a fact. It seemed like I've known him my whole life but we just met not even twenty-four hours ago.
Once I was done thinking a brilliant idea popped in my head. I turned on my car and turned the heat up all the way. It got pretty cold at night during the Summer which I actually like because I'm more of the type of person who likes to stay warm by covering myself in tons of blankets and sweatshirts. I mean, who would want to do that?
Anyway once I became warm enough I drove all the way down to Zoe's house. She lived only about ten minutes away from the beach so it wouldn't take that long. I hope she's up, I just noticed that's it's past eleven pm. That's Zoe for you. She's the type of person that when she feels a yawn coming, she automatically thinks that she's really tired and just falls asleep wherever she is. It could be at school, it could be at movie theater, and even an animal's funeral. That speaks a lot about her.
Ten minutes later I arrived at her house. I knocked on her door. Nobody answered. Can they not tell that there is a freezing lady standing outside her door? Oh wait they don't. I'm not a lady.
I just let my self in because Zoe was stupid enough to give me a key to her house. I snuck my way up to her room trying not to wake anybody up. I took one step into her room and heard the floor creek.
"Shit." I mumbled. I looked back up at her and saw her stirring in her sleep. After about a minute of her doing her thing she stopped moving and fell back into a deep sleep. I slowly made my way to her bed. I waited for a minute to make sure she was actually asleep. I jumped on her bed and started singing.
"Wake up! I'm leaving tomorrow and I need something!" I singed to her. That's the only way I could ever wake her up because apparently I'm a bad singer. But I have to disagree with that agreement Zoe and Britney made when I was trying to wake them up before. Like seriously. I feel like I'm always waking people up. Maybe that's why no one wants to be 'friends' with me..
"What do you want? I'm trying to sleep here!" She mumbled putting her head under her pillow. I stopped jumping and sat down on the floor next to her bed.
"I need to ask you a question!" I spoke louder than I intended to. I don't want to wake up her whole family. I just needed to wake her up. I'm such a great friend! *Note the sarcasm*
She finally took the pillow off her head showing that she was more interested and awake. She turned on her lamp that was on her bedside table.
"So?" Se questioned me.
"Oh right. Did you happen to get a picture of Marcus today?" I asked hoping for a positive answer. She just looked at me. What did I do?
"Do you not know me or Britney? Obviously not because then you would know that we take so many pictures it's not even okay. I swear we need therapy." She answered.
"Well duh, that's why I came here. I need a picture of him because I need to find out where I've seen him before. Do you happen to have an extra picture of him you don't need?" I asked. I'm not trying to sound stalkerish but I know I've seen him before and it's just getting on my nerves that I can't think of where that was!
"Uh yeah there's one over there on my desk. You can take that one if you'd like." She answered laying back down turning the light off. Good thing I know where her desk is.
"Well bye then. Wont be seeing you anytime soon." I finished my sentence and immediately heard snoring. Great.
Well I managed to grab that picture and made my way out of the house making sure I locked it. I got into my car and drove home. I was now extremely tired. I got back to my house to find my bedroom light on.
I turned my car off and went inside. Jeez it's even cold in my house! I put my keys down on the counter and made my way towards my room. I went in to find my mom lying down on my bed looking very bored staring up at the ceiling.
"Uh mom what are you doing lying down on my bed?" I asked her. She quickly turned her head towards me seeing a scared expression on her face. She came running over to me.
"Oh my god, Willow you're home!" She squeezed me so tight I was loosing circulation and was turning a dark shade of purple.
"Mom... can't.. breath.." I spoke trying to get out of her grasp. I swear I could black spots forming in my vision.
"Oh sorry, sorry for both." She said as she let go of me.
"It's okay mom I get it, you wanted me to stay safe. Even though I don't know why. It's not like he's some monster that would steal me away from you guys. I walked over to my bed and sat down because for some reason I felt like this was going to take long.
"That's why I never told you." My mom spoke.
"I thought he was going to take you, Lucy, and Jake away from me again." Why would she think that? Was he actually that bad of a person?
"Again?" I asked her. I need so many answers.
"Yes again. He tried stealing you once. I'm not going to get into any detail but yes, he's a bad person Willow." I tried processing this as much as I could but I wasn't doing very well.
"Listen why don't you go to bed. We are leaving as soon as possible tomorrow." She told me standing up form my bed and heading towards the door. I asked her something that made her stop and look at me.
"Where are we moving to?
"Australia."
