glared at him, and let out the breath which I was holding. I nodded my head and turned towards Johnny and smiled. He smiled back at me, and I lunged for him and hugged him. He let out a laugh and wrapped his arms around me.
“ Thank god…. Thank god everyone is alive,” I whispered. Johnny kissed the side of my head.
“ And that’s how it’s going to stay,” he mumbled against my forehead.
“ I love you Johnny boy,” I laughed pulling away.
“ love you too Lilz,” He smiled.
“ Awe!” Dan said throwing his arm around me. “ Don’t you love me too?” He sobbed. I put my arm around him and gave him a side hug.
“ Of course!” I giggled. “ you two are like my brothers I never wanted,” I smiled throwing my arms around both their shoulders walking in the middle of them. “ C’mon lets go get the idiots,” I laughed. Johnny and Dan let out a laugh, and we stopped at the door, and I walked forward and peered through a window. “ I don’t see anyone out there,” I mumbled against the glass. Dan approached behind me, and peered through the window.
“ let’s get going, know,” he said grabbed my arm. We walked out of the building, and cold air hit my cheeks, and I shuttered. I wrapped my arms around myself, and we started to walk through the woods. It was awfully quiet.
“ Where… Where are they?” I mumbled tucking my chin down trying to stop the wind hitting my face.
“ I saw them in a abandon house in New Jersey,” he said.
“ NEW JERSEY?!” I shrieked coming to a stop. “ Wha- Where they going to leave us behind?” I cried. Dan shook his head.
“ no,” He said turning to me. “ The plan was for me to meet up with you two and fly to jersey, but when I got hurt it kind of got post pond. We should be in jersey with them right know, but we are not, and they are worried, and we gotta try and get their soon as possible before he does something stupid,” Dan mumbled continuing to walk.
“ Before who does something stupid?” I asked waling between Dan and Johnny.
“ Patch.”
“ Patch?” I asked tilting my head towards him. He nodded his head.
“ He is worried sick about you. I could tell when I saw him through my vision,” he said. I nodded my head. Why would patch be worried about me… I mean… “ What are you thinking about?” Dan asked interrupting my thoughts.
“ W. O. W.” I said spacing out. Johnny and Dan both started to laugh, and I gently hit their shoulders, and rolled my eyes. “ How… How are we going to get to Jersey? We are in freaking south Dakota,” I asked.
“ We gonna buy plane tickets,” Johnny said.
“ With what money?” I gasped.
“ Don’t worry about it Lilz,” Dan said looking down at me. I looked up at him, and sighed and nodded my head. We got to a quickie mart, and Dan turned towards us and Johnny and Dan looked at one another. “ We need to change our looks, because people will be looking for us,” Dan said.
“ What do you mean change our looks…” I said taking a step away from him.
“ Well Johnny is no longer going to have light brown hair, but black hair, and my black hair is going… blonde,” he gulped. I broke out into laughter, and Dan scolded me. “ Your dyeing your hair too idiot,” He said rolling his eyes. I jumped back and put my hands on my head.
“ no way in hell!” I gasped. Huge grins spread across Johnny and Dan’s hair, and i took a step back gulping. Johnny and I sat outside waiting for Dan, and he came back out with two bags of things, and we all ran into the bathroom together. “ Im not going first,” I said leaning on the door. Johnny and Dan looked at one another and sighed, and they started to die their hair. I sat their turned around and then I heard the water stop.
“ You can look know,” Dan and Johnny said. I turned around and my jaw hit the ground, and I put my hand over my mouth and bent over trying to hide my laughs. “ is it that bad?” Dan asking looking in the mirror, and he yelled out sins. “ I look….”
“ GAY!” I cried out laughing. Johnny broke out into laughter’s, and Dan glared at us.
“ Well I look like a emotionless kid with no heart,” Johnny sighed running his hand through his hair.
“ better than looking like a faggot,” Dan growled. My eyes where tearing up, and then they both turned towards me. “ Your turn!” Dan cried. I saw the happiness cover his face. I sighed, and looked at myself in the mirror. My golden brown hair…. Oh how I loved my hair so much. It hit my waist, and was naturally straight.
“ We need to cut it too,” Johnny said walking towards me with scissors. I gasped and turned towards him.
“ Y- You didn’t cut your damn hair!” I cried.
“ Lilz your hair is so long it’s a dead giveaway,” Johnny said holding the scissors. I gulped and turned around and closed my eyes.
“ Just…. Just do it…” I mumbled. I heard the sound of my hair being cut off, and I refused to open my eyes. they started to put the die in my hair, and I realized I don’t know what color they picked.
“ What… Color?” I whispered.
“ You’ll see,” Dan said. I kept my eyes closed, and after thirty minutes they washed my hair, and I stood in front of the mirror looking down still having my eyes closed. “ open your eyes,” Dan and Johnny said at the same time. I slowly tilted my head up and looked at myself, and I almost died. I clenched onto the sink.
“ Wha! Oh my god!” I screamed touching my hair. It was a little above my shoulders, and so short! They cut so much off! And my light brown golden hair was known bright red with dark brown streaks. I looked… the red was just like their! Like BA- BA- BAM! I turned towards them “ red…. Really?!?!?!” I cried. Johnny and Dan broke out into laughter’s, and I turned around and looked at myself in the mirror again. I sighed, and put my bag over my shoulder and walked out of the bathroom. “ horrible…. Mother… i…. hate… it,” I mumbled sitting on a bench. Johnny and Dan came out, and sat down next to me. we all looked at one another, and then broke out into laughter’s, and I fell off the bench with Johnny, and we were crying. I clutched my stomach.
“ We look………” I started to say.
“ Like dysfunctional teens!” Dan finished. My laughter’s got louder, and I stood up wiping away my tears. A taxi came and we jumped in and I got stuck between Dan and Johnny. When we got to the airport, I waited when Dan and Johnny went to go get the tickets. I was sitting down, and I looked up and saw someone so familiar….. I squinted my eyes at him, and he turned his head and looked out a window, and I turned away from him… it’s the doctors son! Josh… I sat there, and jumped out of my seat, and started to walk past josh, but he jumped up and we collided.
“ Im sorry ma’am,” he smiled. I sat on the ground, and kept my head down, and he held out his hand for me, but I jumped up and kept my head down.
“ Oh- Ugh- Thank you… me no English….” And with that I turned on my heel and left him their gawking at me. once I got out of his view and broke out into a run searching for Dan and Johnny. They were walking towards me and I ran to them. “ We need to get out of here. KNOW!” I said. Johnny and Dan nodded their heads, and we ran towards the plane, and the lady took our tickets, and we walked onto the plane, and searched for our seats. Dan and Johnny sat down next to one another, and I sat next to the window sitting next to Dan. The plane started and I took a deep breath.
“ Who did you see?” Dan asked.
“ josh, the doctors son,” I sighed leaning back in my seat. Dan nodded his head, and we all laid back, and dozed off. When I opened my eyes I was leaning against Dan and I sat up, and looked around Dan and saw Johnny passed out. I looked at Dan and he was looking at me strangely.
“ Where are you looking at me like that?” I asked bringing my feet up and sitting Indian style.
“ Who is… Darien?” Dan asked. My eyes widened.
“ W- Why?” I whispered.
“ When you were sleeping you said his name a couple of times.”
“ Oh,” was all I could say. I felt tears coming to my eyes, and I wiped them away. “ He was one of my ex-boyfriends,” I smiled remembering all the times we had spent together.
“ Aghh,” he said.
“ yep, he was…” I stopped and looked out the window and then at Dan. “ he was the one.” I finished.
“ Did you guys brake up?” I shook my head.
“ no… He died,” I said feeling a tear run down my cheek. Dan wiped it away and held my hand.
“ how?”
“ Um… we got into a fight, and we were on top of a building, and he said some things, and I wasn’t in control of my powers, and the wind just knocked him right off the building,” I sniffled. “ My best friends…. Giles, and Ronnie truly believed that I killed him… I think my mom even thought that,” I coughed on my cries. Dan wrapped his arms around me.
“ its… it’s okay,” he said. “ You Wanna know something?” He asked.
“ Sure..”
“ When you say Darien’s name there is this look in your eyes… just like when your name is brought up around patch,” he smiled.
“ What are you trying to say?” I asked looking at him.
“ I… I think Patch likes you.”
I sat there in bewilderment. I shook my head.
“ Impossible… he acts like such a jerk around me, and he is always so bipolar, and just ugh,” I said rubbing my temples.
“ I don’t think he knows how to really express himself. Patch is an interesting person, and I honestly have no clue what he is,” Dan said shaking his head.
“ Any guess?”
“ nodda.” I let out a laugh, and laid back in my seat.
“ But what about Darien?”
“ he’s dead.”
“ ouch,” I mumbled.
“ I didn’t mean it like that… sorry…. I meant he is gone Lilz…. I know you loved him, but you can always love another person. Darien wouldn’t want you to hold yourself back for the rest of your life,” Dan said looking at me. I sat there and closed my eyes.
“ Guilt,” I laughed. “ Im just full of guilt,” I shook my head tears running down my face. I felt Dan lift something off my neck, and I opened my neck and he was looking at my locket.
“ This locket says he loves you, am I right?”
