Chapter Twenty Four

I'm not sure how long I've been asleep but I know it was a long time. The sun is close to setting.

I take my shoes off and my feet sighs in relief. The TV is on and I hear soft talking. I open my door to see Teri wide wake, sitting on the couch, talking on her phone. I hope she's not planning on going out tonight. My feet can not handle another wild night.

But something tells me she's not. Even Teri couldn't party 24/7. Her blond hair is slighlt wet from a recent shower. Her brown eyes looks at me. Without her make up on, you can see the dark shadows under her eyes. She's exhausted as well.

"Do you want pizza?" She asks, covering her phone.

I nod my head. "Yeah."

"Pepperoni?" She guess, still covering the phone with her hand.

I nod again.

"Okay. I'll order it." She says.

I head into the bathroom, shutting the door behind me. I turn on the water and strip down. I step under the water head, letting the warm water hit my sore body. I stay in the shower longer than I normally do.

I shut the water off and wrap a towel around my body. I put my dirty clothes in the hamper before, walking to my room.

I walk out my room wearing, comfortable pajamas and drying my hair. I sit beside Teri.

"I ordered the pizza." She informs me. "It should be here in fifteen minutes."

"Good cause I'm starving."

She nods her head in agreement. "Yeah me too."

She picks up the remote and flips through the channels. There's nothing interesting on so she goes on Netflix.

"What do you feel like watching?" She asks. "Magic Mike? Chainsaw Massacre? Family Guy?"

"I feel like watching a scary movie" I tell her.

"Okay. Chainsaw Massacre" She selects it and it begins.

Not ten minutes into the movie, there's a knock on the door. Our head whips to the front door.

"It's probably the pizza" Teri says, pausing the movie. She gets up and pays for our food before sitting back down. She resumes the movie.

I open the box and grabs a slice.

"Who would you be in a scary movie?" Teri asks.

"The survivor" I say in a duh voice.

"No. That would be me."

"No you'll be the one locking lips with Shawn too busy to notice the killer is coming for you."

She looks at me. "No I won't. That would be Daire. I'll probably be the dumb bimbo tripping over nothing and too stupid to get up."

I laugh. "Yeah. And Chris would be the one who go exploring with Gina glued to his hips."

"True." Teri agrees. "You would be the one who tries to get help but end up right back at square one."

I probably would be that one girl who hops into the first moving car and doesn't care who it is until I realize I'm back at the killers' hands. That's leave Hayes.

"Hayes would be the one who would survive" I say.

"Yeah because he has that I'm invincible no one can hurt me attitude."

I smile. Then it fades when I think back to the time Eli Smith tried to kill me. I was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Hayes came to my rescue. I had no doubt in my mind that Hayes couldn't handle himself in a kill or be killed situation. He's just that type of guy.

"Look there's goes Daire and her date" Teri announces. It's the scene where the girl and guy are watching Leatherface saw through the coffin.

The girl is only wearing the guy's shirt as she calls out unwanted attention to herself.

"Looks like something Daire would do." I say, eating my pizza.

We watch the movie and add our own lines to the movie. We pretend that we were in the movie and we were acting how we were act if we were in their place.

Teri said she would of got out of the old van as soon as it stopped working and take the risk of running to a well populated area than end up dead because the car wouldn't start.

I said I would've left and come back with an army. I wouldn't try to go back from everyone else when I barely escaped the first time. I wouldn't try to be the hero and risk my life when there's a high chance we can all die because I wanted to go back.

"You would leave me?" Teri says in horror.

"If it meant going to safety and finding help, then yeah"

"Remind me not to get captured with you." She says.

I roll my eyes. "Yeah cause I'm pretty sure we can control if we get captured or not."

She shrugs. "You never know. You can have a can of pepper spray on you and you can leave me dying in an alley "

I don't know where she came up with this stuff. "I don't carrying pepper spray and why would we be in a dangerous area in the first place?"

"I'm just saying. Weird things can happen. You didn't think you would end up in a dangerous area and you did."

She has a point. "But now I know better."

"Do you?" She asks. "You always did let your curiosity get the best of you. I bet if someone mention music you would be the first person to jump into the conversation and then boom! You're gone"

I roll my eyes. I do not let my curiosity get the best of me. "I bet Finn taught you all of this?"

She shrugs. "He had something to do with it." She admits.

Teri's dad is a detective and he was always coming up with theories about how we could get abducted. I know he was just trying to look out for us but he gave me nightmares. We were young when he would tell us horrifying stories about how people we trust can turn on us and torture us for weeks maybe even months. Weeks past by before Teri and I could start trusting people again. We stayed away from Finn. He was our top suspect.

"I see where you get your craziness from" I inform her.

She glares at me. "I'm not crazy." She says then pauses. "Okay maybe a little bit."

I smile. "What else do you want to admit to."

"Nothing. I'm perfectly normal."

We talk about everything and nothing before we decide to watch another movie. A comedy this time.

I check my phone and I didn't have any miss calls or text messages from Hayes. Which is weird. He usual blows up my phone. He's probably still sleeping.

I drop my phone and fix my eyes on the TV.

"She's figuring out the song" The man informs Abe.

His song he wrote years ago to Allison. Abe's mind wanders to her for a split second.

"Let her figure out. She's going to eventually. As long as she's singing again, I don't care."

"She only sings in front of me. She's hesitant when it comes to others."

Abe nods his head in understandment. "She still not over the death of David and Jen. She needs to let them go or she won't reach her full potential."

"I'm working on it." The man says. "She isn't easy to persuade but she'll give in."

"Okay. I guess that's all I can ask for" Abe says.

The man looks at Abe. "Don't worry. Millian will be singing again."
