"So, you finally convinced your parents to take you to wales?" I ask my best friend jake as I help him pack his suitcase
He nods, "yeah, it took me a few weeks of begging but it was worth it, only dads going with me though" Jake saids, giving me a (thank you nod) i chuckle "seriously? Mrs. Portman allowed you to be alone with your father, away from home for 1 whole month?" He grins "yeah, she said she needed a vacation as well"
"Have you guys talked about the incident?" Jakes eyes shoot up and look directly at mine, i smile nervously "sorry" he shakes his head and continues fixing his clothes after 5 minutes of silence he speaks
"No. They avoid that conversation, they just think I've gone insane, plus my psychiatrist saids that what i saw was just part of my trauma." I study his face and sigh
"Is it?" His eyes dart up at me again, this time a sad expression appears on his face
"You don't believe me either?" I open my mouth but nothing comes out, i love Jake with all my heart we technically grew up together, went to kindergarten and middle school know even high school together, but after hearing him tell his version of that night over and over again, it's pretty hard to believe.
I sigh "i do believe you." I notice him sigh in relief and smile a little "thanks em" i nod with a little grin "when are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow" i gasp dramatically "WHAT? Tomorrow? Why so soon?" He chuckles "Sorry em, i should've told you sooner" i frown playfully "im going to miss you like crazy, this month will be pure torture" he chuckles then raises an eyebrow "come with me."
"What? Your insane" i shake my head in disapproval and smile "i mean it Emily, come with me, it'll be fun and i could use your intelligence to investigate the orphanage and about miss peregrine"
"MIss peregrine? Bird woman?" He nods "Jake, you know I love you and I'd do anything for you but my dad would never allow me to go" he grins and pulls his cellphone out and dials some numbers as he puts it on his ear "what are you doing?" He shushes me with his finger "Hello? Mr. Dawson, hi it's me Jake" my eyes shoot open i try to pull the phone away but Jake was much taller and it was hard "yeah i was actually wondering if I could take Emily with me to some family vacation,... yeah it's just me and my father....a month..... yeah....okay....bye" he hangs up and looks at me with a serious expression
"I told you he wouldn't let me" i say forcing a smile
"Yeah i should've listened to you, you should go home already" i look at him confused
"Jake it's literally 7:30 pm" he nods walking next to me "yeah i know, but you'll need time to pack your suitcase for a month" i raise an eyebrow "what do you mean?" Jake smiles widely and hugs me "HE LET YOU COME WITH ME!" My eyes go wide i squeal and hug jake as he picks me up from the floor "SERIOUSLY?!" He nods putting me back down "oh gosh! I can't believe it! Thank you" Jake smirks and leads me to The door.
"Go pack your bags mrs. Dawson our ship will be here tomorrow" i nod and hug him one last time "see ya" he waves and i go home really excited, ready to pack my bags for my new adventure with Jake. ———— END OF CHAPTER 1🖤
