Enemies

Chapter Nine: Where Is Jess?

Jess, I hope you're ready. I will not fall for your stupid tricks this time. My life is done with all your games and I am not gullible anymore. I am a grown-up ready to make my own decisions and you will not help me.

Chapter Nine: Where Is Jess?

Issac and I continue walking down the cave pathways, watching bugs crawl from one side to the other.

"Uh, Abby?" Issac rushes to catch up to me.

"Yea, what is it?" I ask

"What are you to do to get back at Jessica?" 

His words keep repeating in my head. I feel guilty of wanting to get back at Jess for all my misery but what will I actually do?

"I...'m not sure yet..." I answer, "But whatever I do, I will get my revenge and be even with her."

"Abby, Getting revenge is one thing, getting even is another. Finding possible ways to torture someone is revenge and trying to give payback is trying to get even. From my past experiences, neither help, and neither make you feel good. Before getting revenge or even, think about what it might do to you and everyone else around you." 

Issac's words spin like a tornado around my head. It's almost as if it's not leaving. I do understand what he means but I don't want to believe him.

"Since when were you so wise, Mighty Issac," I say with a smirk,

"Hey, just because I'm a bully doesn't mean I can't be wise!" He laughs back,

We continue to walk down the path and reach a door. It seemed to be glowing very bright from the other side. I walk closer to the door and find a sign. The sign read "True love is what you've always witnessed; in real life or on TV, its what you've read about, its what you've desired almost your whole life. You will always know when you've found it."

I felt my heart ache as I read that sign. There wasn't anything I could really do though. I had to escape too. It's not my fault. I will find you Blake and that's a promise! I open the door and see...

"A wedding hall?" I asked myself,

"Surprised?" A voice says from behind me. It was a suspicious old looking man holding a bucket and mop, presumably the custodian.

"What do you mean? Mr.-"

"Just call me um... Patrick," he replied acting unusual,

"O-okay, what did you mean by 'surprised?' Patrick," I asked hoping he would answer. There was a long silence after I asked that question. All he did was just stare deeply as if into my soul. I felt as if there was a rope pulling me into the dark. I felt...like I had lost someone special...

"If you're still wondering," Patrick continued, "This is a wedding...for Jessica and her husband to be."

"Is it Blake?" Issac asked,

Patrick sighed and replied, "Yes..."

"It isn't really much of a surprise," I say, "We need to find Jess and let Blake be with whoever he wants," I say feeling my heart ache,

"Did I forget to mention that she's gonna kill him and blame you?" Patrick says,

"What? You are joking aren't you haha," I said hoping what he said is a joke.

"I'm not joking. Why else do you think she tried to catch you?"

"Ummm." I stopped to think of a reason while noticing that Patrick was intensely creepily staring at me. "I don't know..."

"Didn't think so," He continued. "Jessica has always had an unknown, dark side of her. I've known her since high school and she has never changed. There are still some things that I'm stumped about though,"

"Like?" I asked though I do understand what he means. Jessie always went away, half of the day when we'd be together. I'm guessing that she'd come here?

"What is her hatred towards you?" Patrick answered, "What I mean is-"

"You don't need to explain Patrick," I interrupted, "I understand."

"Very well then." He replied, "I guess we have nothing else to talk about now, do we?"

"Thank you for all your help but, well... I do have one question." I answered,

"And that is?"

"Where can I find Jess?"

I could see that Partick froze as soon as I asked that question. It's as if he didn't expect a question like that. I wonder why. It's like everything has been a blur for me as if there's something big I don't know of. What did happen when I was in a coma? What did happen when I didn't realize what was transpiring around me. What did happen when__

"Looking for me?" Jessica asked,

"Just the one I was looking for," I say with an evil smile

Heya guys! If you're reading this, then I'm guessing you haven't fallen asleep yet. These past few chapters have been quite an issue to work on because of the holidays but I am trying to fix it up soon. For now, I will only post the story when I can instead of Fridays.
