[center][b] "Don't lie to me, little lady. It's obvious that someone hit you, and pretty damn bad, I might add. You know this is borderline abuse? Did your boyfriend do this to you?" She shook her head again.
"Damnit, don't lie to a police officer?" I shouted, gripping her shoulder again, making sure, this time, that it hurt. "If you lie to a police officer, your punishment will get worse! Do you WANT your punishment for trespassing and drinking underage get worse! HUH? DO YOU!" I had grabbed hold of both of her shoulders at this point, pressing her up against the car. The girl was sobbing and screaming, shaking her head and trembling underneath my hands.
"Now TELL me who did this to you! Was it your boyfriend or not! ANSWER ME, DAMNIT! ANSWER THE QUE-"
The police officer went down like a ton of bricks right before me while I screamed and gasped in pain, leaning and against the car to catch my breath. The girl standing behind him, holding a baseball bat, had this wild look in her eye. She quickly ran to me and pulled my hair from my face.
"Are you okay? Jesus Christ, the fucking prick could have raped you, girl! Why didn't you do anything?" I just stared at her, mouth agape. And here I thought Jason was going to be my savior. But along comes this drunken girl. I could only tell she was drunk because she was tipping slightly, trying to catch her balance by holding onto the car for support. My heart was beating erratically as I looked around quickly, trying to see if I could find Jason anywhere.
"Hey, c'mon, c-come with me," the girl slurred slightly, taking my hand and pulling me away from the car and the knocked-out police officer. I followed her, feeling nervous. I knew I should have taken off, but she was heading back to camp. Maybe Jason was waiting for them there. The girl pulled me along, lurching several times when she tripped over a branch or rock, and led me to one of the cabins. I noticed the other boys and girls who were partying before sleeping on the floor, some of them in the bed. The girl led me to the chair and sat me down to face the door.
"So…why are you here, huh? Out partying?" she asked, pulling out a bottle of vodka from lord knows where and tipping it back with her head, taking large gulps. I instinctively stroked at my hair, feeling more and more uncomfortable. Where the hell was Jason?
"I-I…w-well, no…I-I was just here…ah…u-um…" I panicked, struggling to come up with the right excuse. "E-exploring! I-I like to t-take hikes i-into the…w-woods and stuff, and…I-I got lost…" I finished lamely, praying the girl wouldn't think I was lying.
"Really? Man, what a weird child you are, little miss!" she chuckled drunkenly, almost tipping the chair back. "You'll gotta thank me for saving your ass, you know. In fa', all these fuckers gotta thank meh in some way." She gestured the others lying sprawled on the floors, snoring.
"H-how…c-could I r-repay you?" I asked softly. I played along for the sake of not upsetting her. I didn't want any more bruises.
"Ehh, I dunno…maybe you can go outta n' get us summore vodka. But I'lla thinka somethin'. Anyway, Where're you from? Never seen you 'round here before."
"W-well, I-I live in Chicago, actually," I said, slowly trying to form something in my head as a way to leave. "M-my parents and I a-are staying here for vacation."
"Really, no'? I-I think I gotta cousin who lives there…you know 'im? E's tall 'n tan with a little freckle on his neck lika hickey…y-you know 'im?"
"I-I…w-well, I-I don't think s-so. Wh-what's his name?"
"Gah, I foget his fuckin' name…s-something with a Q, I think…a-and ends with a…w-with a…"
The girl's eyes widened suddenly.
The door slammed hard behind me.
I smiled softly to myself.
Jason was here.
END CHAPTAH!
Yes, I know…I did it again, didn't I? *Braces self for flying debris of whatever it is angry mobs throw at people nowadays* I'm sorry. My own schedule isn't even working for me, is it? Ugh, I hate how short this thing is…this is probably the shortest chapter yet! But I think, from what I know about myself, that the next chapter will be LONG.
So, this chapter was SO made up from the top of my head. The whole 'random-dude-coming-out-of-nowhere-while-Jason-wasn't-around' thing came up so quickly in my head that I forgot to come up with something interesting for who it would actually be. So, I really came up with this all on the top of my head! I hope you all liked it. I THINK that might be another cliffhanger…um…yeah, I guess it is. *Grins drunkenly with power* And MAN, there's a lot of drunken words here…I just hope they all make sense! *Sheepish grin* [/b][/center]
