CHAPTER 28 (Part 3)

Sarah was laying on her bed, staring at the ceiling. She was thinking back I what had happened that day at lunch.

~Flashback~

Sarah was walkig down the hallway, on her way to lunch. She just walked through the doors as some girl pushed Jimmy, who happened to be a few feet ahead. "Out of the way, nerd!" Sarah instantly was furious. She clenched her fists, stomped up to the girl, and gave her one hard shove. The girl went flying forward and crashed into a boy walking toward a table. She and the boy both went tumbling down. Sarah smirked in satisfaction. That'll teach her to mess with Jimmy. By now, the entire cafeteria held their attention on Sarah. Sarah smirked. She always liked attention, after all. The girl got up and scrambled to pull down her skirt. She blushed madly as everyone laughed at her. The boy she fell on top of was blushing like a madman. He stood, grabbed his sack lunch off of the floor, and strode over to his table, where his friends were all waiting to talk to him.

The girl, enraged, stormed over to Sarah, her heels clicking obnoxiously loud behind her. "What's the matter with you?!" She practically screamed. Sarah giggled. "Whats so funny?!" The girl demanded. "Oh, just the fact that you were allowed to shove my best friend, call him a nerd, and just expect to get away with it." Sarah had turned completely serious at this point. Sarah stepped closer to the girl. "If you ever hurt him again, you will be sorry." Sarah said. The girl growled, grabbed a open carton of milk from a nearby table, and dumped it on Sarah's head. As she was pouring it out, she grabbed another carton from the table and poured it on her too. Once she was done, she threw the cartons at Sarah. Sarah, in turn, was shaking with rage. Jimmy shook his head, almost in pity, at the girl. "Probably should not have done that." The girl turned to him. "Why not?" Jimmy looked at her like it was the easiest thing in the world to figure out. "Because now she's gonna kick your butt." As if on cue, Sarah lunged at the girl, and they began to fight.

~Flashback end~

Sarah didn't regret it at all, until the principal called her mom. Now she was grounded. "Baby sister! Mom says to come down for dinner!" She heard Ed call to her. She smiled. Ed may be an idiot, but he was her idiot. She walked down the stairs and went to the kitchen. She slid into her seat as a plate of steak was put in front of her. Ed was already tearing into his. Sarah sighed as she began to cut into her steak.

(Flashback again)

Loud blasting music was heard as two people were carried, I mean, led to a door at the end of the hall. The screeching of the guitar echoed throughout the house. The door opened and the music became deafaningly louder. The person who was "escorting" the two waved his hand in a 'turn it down' motion. Whoever he waved to obliged. The guard led the two people into the center of the room. A man, no, a teenage boy, was texting on his phone. The guard cleared his throat. "Wha' do ya want, Neil?" Alex said in his heavy New York accent as he kicked his feet up on a nearby chair. The guard blinked. "U-uh... W-we found these two by the d-door..." Alex looked up at the two, and grinned. "Neil, you're dissmissed." Neil looked at him shocked. "B-but don't you want me to-?" He didn't get to finish as Alex screamed at him to leave. Neil backed away slowly and went out the door. Alex turned to the two. "And how may I help you lovley ladies?"

Callie flipped her hair over her shoulder as she retreived a picture out of her purse. She held it out to him. "We-" Karren cleared her throat. "I... I need you to get revenge on this boy for me." Alex looked at Karren. "What's your relation ta dis dude?" "He's her son." Callie answered for her. "And I'm his ex girlfriend." Alex chuckled. "Ahh, revenge of a psycho girlfriend. I love it! An' then, why do you want us to hurt your kid?" He asked Karren. She gulped nervously. "Because he ran away." Alex looked at her like he didn't believe her. "I grounded him for something, and then the next hour when I went to check on him, him and a lot of his belongings were gone. He left a note saying he ran away with his brother. I want him back home." Needless to say, Karren was a fantastic actor, and made Alex think she was telling the truth without a second thought. "Don't worry..." He trailed off. "I'll make him want to come home." Alex smirked. "We're goin' ta need some paint. And a lot of it."
