Ch -9-
We didn't really understand what the messages meant, so we just rode our bikes back to town. The police cars drowned the city and it was so cramped. There were people rioting for no apparent reason and the whole place was just chaos.
Each of us made it safely to our houses. Thank God to that. And once I opened the door all my ears could hear was my mom's wailing and crying "WHERE'S MY SON?!" to the officer standing in front of me. Right when she saw me. She ran towards me. And fucking slapped me.
"WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN?" she asked. I was surprised not gonna lie. I thought I'm gonna get a warm welcome. But a slap is nice too right?
I sat down and gave the officer a fake version of what happened because i myself didn't understand shit. I just told them"we were racing and lost track of where we were headed to and got lost. Neither of us knew the path back though."
The last sentence was pretty dumb. I mean. It IS a one way road from our town to Areohead. But either way they still believed what i said.
What concerned me most was what Clair and Joe might say. What if what they say is totally different? "We're screwed" I thought to myself.
Later that day, 7:01 to be exact, I got a text from both Clair and Joey. It was the weirdest shit ever.
"I heard what you said. I told the police the exact same thing. But that's not the point. I literally heard EXACTLY what you were saying. We need to talk. This isn't normal." -Clair
"DUDUEHRDGEHEH THIS IS SO WEIRD I DONT KNOW IF YOU'LL BELIEVE ME OR NOT BUT I SWEAR I HEARD EVERYTHING YOU SAID TO THE COPS AND I SAID THE EXACT SAMETHING BRO WTH? also y'all still got pancakes? been craving them since last week. Call me when you get my texts" -Joey
Fuck.
