Chapter 20
703 Words
After visiting grandma, we made our way to the forest. It was supposed to be a short visit, but we ended up baking cookies and playing Jenga with her. Well, I can't say it hasn't happened before. But come on, who doesn't love spending some time with grandma??!!
The whole ride, I didn't stop looking at my necklace. It was so beautiful that it hypnotized me, and I couldn't stop staring at it. Allison and Karen were talking the whole way, but I wasn't listening much. I was getting a little sleepy all of a sudden. But I was wide awake when we reached the forest, where Scott, Stiles, and Bryson were keeping Jackson.
"Hey, guys" I said when we reached them.
"Hey" they said, taking a few steps towards us.
I quickly cupped Scott's cheeks in my hands as I kissed him. He quickly kissed back, placing his hands on my own. When we pulled away, But I hugged him as tight as I could. But I missed him today, since he didn't come to school, and I just wanted to hug him as tight as I could. Sadly, every happy moment has an ending, and our ending has a name. And that name is Stiles. "Guys, that's very cute, but we have more important things here to do"
Scott and I pulled away frowning, Scott glaring at Stiles when he looked at him. Stiles just shrugged. "Don't glare at me like that. You know it's true. You'll have plenty of time to make out with Penny, Scott"
I shook my head from side to side, indicating that it's true. But Scott thought otherwise, so he just sighed. "Whatever"
"Where's Jackson?" I asked, looking around.
"Oh, we got him locked up in the van" Bryson said, pointing to the van behind him, and I nodded.
"Something interesting happened at school?" Scott asked.
"Something bad happened at school," Allison replied, sounding worried. "They know Jackson's missing"
"Oh, that's great. Best news ever" Stiles said sarcastically.
"It is" she said back as sarcastic as he did.
"Well, it's okay. I'm texting his parents pretending i'm Jackson, so they won't suspect anything" Stiles said showing us Jackson's phone.
We nodded in understanding. But then Bryson, after a few seconds of eyeing the phone, said, "Wait a minute, something's not right. Give me the phone, Stiles"
Stiles did as told. Bryson eyed the phone curiously as if he discovered something. By the look on his face, it wasn't a good thing. He quickly looked at us with wide eyes and swallowed hard. "They're-they're tracking the phone!"
"What?!" I said as Stiles quickly grabbed the phone, and Scott ran a hand through his hair in frustration.
"s**t," Stiles muttered. "It's true"
"What do we do now?" Karen asked.
"I got an idea," Stiles replied. "I'll turn on the scanner, leave the phone here and we'll go, got it?"
"What about Jackson?" Allison asked.
"Who cares about Jackson?!"
"Stiles has a point" I added.
"No, we have to save him" Scott said shaking his head.
I frowned. I would love to leave Jackson here, locked up in the van, crying like a little baby. Oh, that would be the best thing EVER!!!!!
I heard Stiles sighing before replying, "Fiiiinneee. I'll move the van"
"Thanks" Scott said as Stiles placed the phone on the ground and went to move the van.
"Maybe we should reunite here, tonight" Allison said.
"You're right. I need to talk to Danny at the hospital" Scott said nodding.
"I'll go with you" I said.
Right when Scott was about to reply, Karen talked. "That's very sweet, Penny, but we have to get home and help Ginny with dinner. We promised"
Darn it, she's right!! I hate it when she's right! I totally forgot about that!! But, I guess a promise is a promise...
Disappointed, I nodded. "You're right"
"But you are coming tonight, right?" Allison said, pointing a finger at me.
I nodded and gave her a 'Duh!' look. "Of course"
"Okay, so it's settled. We will come back tonight and see if we found out anything about Gerard" Scott said.
We all nodded in agreement.
This is going to be a looooooonnng night...
