MADDI PWNS ALL

Project Drama [Part 40]

Recap: I love P.E!

"Zac, Josh - captains pick your teams, Josh goes first - six on each team, including yourself." The guy P.E teacher said...I don't know what happened to the girl.

Josh nodded his head picking out his players, "Gerard," he pointed, "Jessica," he winked at her, "Bob and Ray," and then he looked toward me, "Oh and Alice!" I got up going toward Josh's side and he whispered to me, "So glad you're in our gym class now. No offenses but you're really good so you can't go on Zac's team." I nodded and did a weird grin. I was happy to go on Josh's team...Hayley wasn't on mine.

Zac frowned. "Why'd you take Alice? You know she's really good!" Josh smirked and the guy coach rolled his eyes hurrying him up. Zac got the rest of the players (including Hayley) and they rushed to the other side. Zac's team got to serve first.

Amy was serving first and I was up to the front and Hayley was right beside me just on the other side of the volleyball net. I pushed Bob moving him to the other side so I was lined right up with Hayley. I smirked at her and she did the same. I looked over at Zac and he was just smiling at me...awe. Amy served nicely...too nicely it went over me and I bumped into Ray well I was backing up to slam the ball over the net so maybe if I'm lucky it'd go over it banging Hayley hardly in the head. Anyways, Josh ended up bumping it over the net.

Jessica was serving now and she wasn't as good so it was easy to slam over and hit Hayley. I chuckled a somewhat devilish chuckle. "Sorry, Hayles you were just...getting the way you know?" I smirked to myself. Her eyes were squinting and Zac went to ask she was alright but I just laughed to myself. Now Zac went to go serve it. "Back up," I pushed Ray back more. Zac was a good at volleyball...not as good as me, or Josh but good well fairly.

Zac served it very good, I was very, very proud...he looked really - nice well doing it. He did it so sly. A second later I found myself slamming the ball over the net but accidently hitting Katelyn. I came underneath the net apologizing but Pete took it from there. "PENALTY," the judge yelled.

"Focus, Alice..." Josh bugged me. Zac served again and I slammed it over very hard and this time it did slap Hayley's leg making her fall immediately. He gave me a hi-5. "So...you have a beef with Hayley?" Josh smirked widely. I rolled my eyes with a chuckle. Josh is such a loser... "Oh wait a minute I see what's happening," he said as he began to serve the ball as I rotated. "You," he got it ready, "like," he swung it over, "Zac!"

I stopped quickly. "WHAT?"

"Alice look out!" someone screamed I looked over and I could see the big white volleyball coming right in between my eyes. I opened my eyes and all I could see was a vicious Hayley, shocked Josh and an adoringly - no I mean a worried Zac.

Anabelle's P.O.V

"I'm going to be very stupid if we - you stop running," I noted with a half smile - half defense. He rolled his eyes and smiled not taking the 'will-you-ever-stop-running' jocular tone. "I mean even you are skipping a lot of school, doesn't that bother you? What about Gerard and Pete?"

He laughed. "School's old news," he said jokingly. "I do see Gerard and Pete but they seem like they have their hands full at the moment."

"And you're okay with everything that's happened?" I popped out the question I have been dying to ask him. It was so quick I didn't even realize it.

He hesitated and then turned around and continued to make a new macaroni salad. "No," he spoke quietly - it was barely a whisper. I didn't push the subject any further. "You don't eat very much...but you do love to sleep," he smiled.

I rolled my eyes. "That's all you've noticed?" I muttered.

"You brush your teeth on the other side of the toothbrush and then you use the brush to clean off the toothpaste from your teeth afterwards. You hate my driving and shake whenever you realize I'm accelerating 100-200. And we have the same love for Debussy, Morrissey, and The Smiths."

I nodded my head a little overwhelmed. But it helped it me in someway overcome my lost feelings for my friends and parents. Whenever I missed them all I'd have to do was get Joe's smile and the hole in my stomach was filled - overflowing.

"I still need to figure out everything...everything we have to deal with when we get back. Well, basically I just have to deal with...you."

I shook my head and replied, "Then you shouldn't be around kidnapping people." My sentence was half serious and half jocular.

"No, I mean the propinquity between us has to stay because with your hapless character - life at school isn't going to get any better about the whole kidnapping thing. Which I still don't trust you..."

I rolled my eyes and retorted, "Your nescience have been showing greatly in Palm Springs. Maybe you need to take me to New York and we'll get everything settled out."

"Do you want to go?" I shook my head quickly. He was just willing to sacrifice any hope for me? "We can in a heartbeat."

"Joe," I addressed quickly. "No, you need to figure out everything."

He nodded his head pouring the macaroni salad in two big bowls and handed me one. He gulped down it quickly, as I just took my time. "My mom found about the mafia thing with my father..." he started looking downwards. "She is now clinically depressed," his voice was definite. "But I can't take care of her right now. If I do, she'll just get hurt." This was about the first time I have ever saw Joe in this state. It somehow made me feel better.

"How is that?"

Joe answered pushing his macaroni salad aside, "Once she finds out that I was helping him and I kidnapped you...all of this will fly off the roof for her."

"Then...then don't tell her! Just comfort her. Like tell her your father just did it because he wanted his wife and kid to have a flamboyant life." He smiled nodding his head. "As for me," I started to smirk, "tell her I'm your girlfriend."

Joe smiled widely with his eyes widening. "R-Really?" He stumbled. I nodded my head. I did like Joe...I couldn't hide that fact. His face went acute. "But I still don't trust you..."

"Then let's go back to Newport! We can go see your mother." I said happily.

"You're so full of it."

"I can't believe we made it to Newport so fast...you need to learn to drive." I retorted. He rolled his eyes and I could feel the vibration of his hand shaking violently on my sweater. I put my hands over his. He looked at me wide-eyed. "Joe, everything will be alright eventually. We look pretty convincing so I wouldn't worry about it."

"Yes," he agreed opening the door quickly. We quickly met the maid. "Hello, Maid Sherry. Where is Mrs. Trohman?" She looked down and pointed towards the living room. He grabbed my wrist tightly and dragged me there. "M-m-mom...?" I slowly peeked into the living room and saw a beautiful women sitting down with her arms over her knees with black make-up dripping from her eyes and two knives right beside her with little bits of blood trickling down from her wrist. She looked exactly like Joe - just being a woman. Her hair was beautiful chocolate brown and her eyes were dark too. "Mother," he ran over to her lifting up her chin. His mom put her arms over his shoulders hugging him tightly. "Everything's going to be okay, never do this again!" He looked over on the mere table where a large wine bottle stayed smashed. "You can't drink with your anti-depressants!" Joe turned to me summoning me over.

Then we did exactly what we planned and I can't believe it worked so greatly. About two hours later I found myself sitting in Joe's baby room looking at his baby pictures with his mother. Yes, I was officially Joe's 'fake' girlfriend and we lied to her immensely. But I was glad because seeing anyone in that much pain would give you pain. "This was Joe when we first took him to the Amazon Amusement Park. He had so much fun with me and his cousin. Oh if you were with him, darling you two would be the cutest!" I smiled widely.

"I'm happy if he's happy and you too." She grinned happily giving me the biggest hug and a tear fell down from her face.

"I'm glad Joe has found someone so nice. He's always been the one to attract horrible young girls - girls so revealing."

I saw Joe come in through the door. I give him a thumb up...we officially pulled it off. He smiled coming over to us and giving us white tea. "Anabelle's parents are out of town, mother, Leila," he winked at me (Leila was his mother's name).

"Wait!" His mother stood up quickly backing away from the two of us. "Anabelle...is the girl from the news! She was kidnapped along with the Mischa girl who died and the Hayley girl."

I looked at Joe quickly and he gave me a terrified look. My expression was probably looking completely placid right now. We didn't think of this. "Yes!" Joe started. I looked at him confusingly. "That's how we met. I found her in a dark alley way. But she was too scared of facing the Newport News and her parents on her horrible experiments. So I took her to Palm Springs for awhile...and we got to know each other. But then I insisted on going back to Newport."

Leila nodded her head understandingly and then came and hugged me tightly. "I feel so bad for you, going through all that!" I nodded my head and smirking to Joe. "Well, we must all go to her parent's house and explain things. They can talk to the reporters and news people." I smiled to Joe and he looked down madly. 

But the truth was...I still wanted to stay with Joe. Of course I missed my home life, parents, Andy, Katie and more friends. But...I would lose Joe... 

"It's okay, even when she goes home...she'll still be over, very often and she's still under my watch and she's still my girlfriend." Joe explained putting his arm around my shoulders and tightly keeping me by him.

I was still locked with no control.

Sorry for not posting in ages. I don't expect comments anymore. o___O I don't like this new journal system either.
