Chapter 20

I asked holding up a strawberry. "Oh there's like a jackpot further down. I can show you when we finish these strawberries." He smiled a firefly landing on his nose.

I slightly smiled and felt a wave of tiredness rush over me before I heard a crunch in the grass from ahead of us.

I narrowed my eyes to try and get a better view of whatever was there, but I couldn't see anything.

"Um hello?" I called out.

"Hey?" Jacob opened his eyes wide at me his mouth stuffed with strawberries.

"Guys did you notice something strange about this night?" I gulped.

They sharked down the last of the strawberries before turning to me. Jacob licked his fingers, "were you talking to me?" He asked, after watching me glare at him while waiting for an answer.

"Something strange?-" Landon stood drying his hands in his clothes. "Oh yeah right because we aren't locked in a room, I know right! Thank Jesus!" Jacob yelled in the air as whatever crunched in the grass made another movement.

Now I clearly saw it.

It's tall skinny figure, "I thought tonight was gonna be different," I said to nobody in particular. Landon and Jacob looked at me like I was crazy. "I'm sorry is being the next spiderman getting to your head-" I cut Jacob off by grabbing his cheeks in one hand and turning him to face the nightcrawler who was slowly inching towards us.

"Holy shit Iris run!" He exclaimed his eyes flashed a weird yellow colour for a fraction of a second and my eyes widened. What the fuck? I was too startled to say anything. We all turned and ran the opposite direction. I didn't dare to look back, because of course I'd probably trip on something and fall then get thrown into the sleep walking state.

Jacob didn't decide to say guys run he says Iris run. Like it's only him and me. I felt a blush, do I really have feelings for Jacob? I watched him in my peripheral vision. He sped up just the slightest bit faster than me. Probably all the time I've spent away from Landon had changed the way we used to be. He's different now and I bet it's because he was being bullied by that other asshole.

Landon is so sweet and innocent. He's serious when he's supposed to be, but is also a bit tense. Kinda sweaty. And awkward. I glanced at him who was just a step in front of me. I felt like I needed to throw up and felt water run down my legs. Oh my God I'm a sweaty freak. I gasped for air and felt myself slow down as I ran.

I just realized I haven't thought of my mom in like five years!

That's a lot, I panted and looked at Jacob, Jacob's just so funny and jokes around alot, I don't think I can genuinely not be amused by the bullshit he speaks of all the times. The unnecessary swearing, the smirks, sarcasm, jokes. I realized I was staring at Jacob who was running and I was following him and Landon was following me.

I adore his pale green eyes and his light brown shaggy hair. He even has some bleached blonde strands. His parents must be really pretty. Speaking of parents I wonder if my dad is out of prison yet. He better be, so when I go home I can see him. I don't even think I remember what he looked like, he was not tall at all I remember that because I remember him saying 'I'm going to be a short child because I have short parents, but like does that mean I'll be the height I am now. I felt a hard pang below my stomach. I assumed they were my intestines, because boy were they making me feel like I needed to vomit.

Or is it called your bladder? Maybe it's because I need to pee I might even need to poop. No I don't I'm just overreacting. My ass! I need to diarrhea! Oh my gosh what if I start pooping while I'm running, I was drowned in sweat and the pain in my bladder only got worst. I was too out of breath to think of anything else. What the hell is happening? I looked at Landon and Jacob who were running and running. Wait. Why are we running again? I couldn't run anymore, my knees buckled and I collapsed onto the ground. My head hit something hard and everything went black.
