He come into the room with a Ouija board in his hands with a menacing look on his face.
He sets it up in the middle of the room and turns all of the lights off.
We gather around it and begin.
"If there's any spirits here that would like to talk to us please make a sign." Jake whispers.
We wait in silence and hear small creeks downstairs. My heart races.
We look at eachother as we hear footsteps coming up the stairs.
I take my hands off the board and hide behind Jake as Corey bursts into the room screaming.
I scream loudly grasp my heart.
"Fuck you." I laugh as Jake hugs onto me.
Corey erupts in laughter, "gotcha!" He mumbles through laughter.
"Put it up I'm scared now." I tell jake.
"Fine." He says and rolls his eyes.
Corey turns the light on and I grab my phone.
From Sammy: hey! It looks like the meeting is going to run longer than we thought, i should be back around 9 now, I'm sorry b.
To Sammy: your fine, I'm just hanging out with Jake.
From Sammy: Alright, also I'm taking you out to eat tonight so be ready at 9
To Sammy: okay :) have fun in your meeting!
From: Sammy: will do :)
I smile and sit down on jakes bed, "Hey, I think I'm gonna run to the mall go get an outfit for tonight's dinner. Wanna come with me?" I ask him.
He purses his lips together, "ugh sure." He says and grabs his essentials.
We walk downstairs and jump into his car and start driving.
Not knowing this area to well, we're in the car for about 30 minutes before I realize we aren't going to the mall.
"Jake where the fuck are we going?"
He laughs, "about time you noticed. We're about an hour away, I'm bringing you to an old abandoned barn out in the desert. It has amazing artwork I thought you'd like. Plus we have what? 4 hours till you have to be back into town, so we should be good to get you dressed and fancy for Sammyboy." He says and jabs his elbow into my side.
I lightly hit him, "cool!"
We make small talk and jam out to music before I really realize we're absolutely nowhere. The sun is slowly fading away and we reach our destination.
It's pure desert so we park pretty much 100 feet away from the barn.
We get out and slip in through the window and my heart jumps out of my chest. It's absolutely stunning. "Holy shit." I whisper as images of angels and demons, and nature is painted on every wall.
"I know." He says as we walk in. The sun begins to set as Jake takes cute instagram pictures of me.
We spend an hour fucking around and taking pictures before we decide to leave. We walk out to the car and we get in.
Jake puts the keys in and tries to start the car but it seems the battery is dead.
"Fuck." He says and slams his hands against the wheel.
I pull out my phone and I have to service, "Jake do you have any service?" I ask.
He grabs his phone, "fuck, no I don't." He says.
I start getting anxiety as there's no civilization around us.
"It has to be literally miles and miles and miles away till we reach any sort of town." I nervous mutter.
He tries again and throws his keys on the dash.
"Jake, what are we gonna do?" I say as panic sets in.
He looks around, "I'm not sure." He says.
Tears brim at my eyes as an anxiety attack overcomes me, "hey hey hey, your okay Lask, your okay." Jake says and pulls me into s hug, "we're gonna get this figured out don't worry." He says and rubs circles into my back.
I take some deep breaths and gather my thoughts.
"What are our solutions." I breath out.
He bites his nails, "uhm, walking is one, but that will take actual days and with the sun and lack of water we'll actually die." He says and scratches his neck.
"Did you tell anyone that we were coming here?" I ask him.
"Uhm no." He says, "it was a surprise."
I bite my lip, "fuck. Well, I mean, what can we do?"
"Nothing really. I think we should wait till morning to actually walk, because there could be coyotes and snakes and stuff."
I nod in agreement, "okay."
He gets out and into the trunk and pulls out 2 bottles of water, two blankets, two pillows, and one of his sweatshirts, "What I used to go camping." He says.
I side the sweatshirt over my body and lay the blanket over me. I lean the seat back and slide the pillow underneath my head.
"What if we die here?" I ask him.
He huffs, "we won't die here. We'll figure it out in the morning." He says.
A wave of exhaustion hits me and I fall asleep thinking of Sam.
I wake up to bright light in my eyes. I squint and sit up. Jake remains asleep and I get out of the car to stretch.
Hmm, I wonder, since Jake is asleep I can take some cute sunrise pictures from the top of the barn. I smile and walk into the barn, quickly finding a way to the roof.
Standing on the roof I snap some cute shots and start to climb down the latter inside the barn.
My foot slips and I fall to the ground from around 20 feet up and my ankle soaks up most of the fall. I scream in pain as I clutch onto my ankle.
I hear someone running toward me and I see Jake.
"What the fuck!" He yells and kneels down beside me. "What the hell were you thinking, never explore by yourself!" He says in a protective but angry way.
Tears well up and I start to cry out of embarrassment and pain.
He picks me up bridal style and lays me down on a hay stack inside the barn on the first floor. "Fuck." He whispers to himself.
"I'm so sorry." I whine, still in a good amount of pain.
"No don't be, it could've happened to anyone." He says trying to make me feel better, "the issue is, is that we need to get you to urgent care like, now." He says as my ankle begins to bruise. "I'm going to climb to the top and see if I get any service, the good thing is that everyone knows we're missing." He adds.
I nod as he climbs up the ladder I just fell from.
I wait for a while and he climbs back down.
"No luck." He says.
I sigh as the pain subsides, "we're fucked."
"No," he says sternly, "triple A!" He yells and runs to the car. He runs back 2 minutes later with a smile on his face.
"Thank fucking god I paid my membership on triple A." He says. "Help is on the way, including an ambulance." He adds.
I exhale and release the anxiety inside me.
We sit on the hay bail for two hours before we hear sirens in the distance.
Jake runs outside and flags them down. An ambulance parks by us and 3 EMTs run over to me with a stretcher. They ask me multitudes of questions before lifting me up onto the stretcher.
They jump jakes car and instruct him to follow us to the hospital. He does so and takes off before us.
They load me up in the ambulance as they speed toward the nearest hospital.
The cool a/c makes my skin bumpy and I eventually fall asleep to the rattling sounds of the medications in the cabinets.
