Chapter 4:You Gotta Believe Chris arrived home the next morning,and heard his answering machine beeping.He pressed the recieve button,then all of a sudden the answering machine made this weird sound then the machine went beserk.The tape had been scattered and the answering machine had blew up.Chris was shocked as he gathered the little bits and pieces of the machine.He forgot about the message that he didn't get to hear and threw away the pieces.He looked at the picture that Mrs.Kolita had taken and given to him in this nice picture frame.He smiled and went to bed.He was too tired to do anything else.About ten minutes,he fell asleep with the picture in his hand. ********************************************************* "Why hasn't he called yet?",Greg said to Matt who was sitting on the couch with Daniella watching tv.Caity sat on the floor watching ,too. "Maybe he was abducted by aliens!",Daniella screamed.Caity laughed and Matt just looked at Greg.Greg laughed at what his little sister had said.He shook his head and went to the phone.He dialed Chris' number and waited as it rang.He waited and waited and no one answered.Greg sighed and put the phone down.Matt got up from his seat and walked over to Greg. "Nothing yet?",Matt asked.Greg shook his head and put his hands on his hips and looked at the phone. "Nothing yet...........................",Greg answered.Greg looked over at Caity and saw her laughing with Daniella.He sighed and went over to watch with them. ********************************************************* Lana woke up in her bed,she knew she fell asleep in Chris' arms but didn't know how she got in bed.She looked around for a second. "Chris tucked you in last night.........",Mrs.Kolita said as Lana turned towards door where she saw her mother..Lana smiled as her mother sat down next to her. "He is such a sweet boy...tucking you in like that.He even kissed you good-night.You picked a good boy,Lana,sweetheart.",Mrs.Kolita said as Lana laughed and hugged her pillow. "I did.........didn't I?",Lana said laughing.Mrs.Kolita laughed and smiled as she kissed her daughter then walked out of the room.Lana giggled and got up from her bed.She walked to the bathroom and shut the door.She came back out dressed and ready for another days' worth of searching for her little sister.She smiled as she saw a picture on the counter.She looked at it and saw a picture of Chris pushing away strands of hair of her face.She was so flattered and saw her mother standing at the doorway.She smiled at her mother and put the picture in a safe place.She walked out of her room and headed outside.She sighed as she saw the early morning sun and headed towards the police station. ********************************************************* Frankie dialed Jesse's number and told him to meet him at Greg's house.Jesse headed towards the nearest travel bus and headed for Long Island. ********************************************************* Frankie put down the phone and headed outside.Greg had called him and told him to come to his house.Their rehearsels had been cancelled for a week and he had nothing else to do.He walked towards the subway and paid for his token.He didn't want to bring his metro card bacause he didn't want to charge anything.He waited for the subway car and then he saw and old friend.He looked at him and remembered a short brown-haired boy,and now he saw a blonde-haired tall guy. "Hey,Tyler!It's me.........Frankie!",Frankie yelled over to him.Tyler turned around and smiled at his old buddy. "Hey,man !Long time no see!What's up?",he asked as the train came. "I'm okay........you?" "It's cool over here!",he answered as they parted.Frankie walked into one subway car and Tyler walked into the other.Frankie then saw Erika,the girl who had seen Caity last,enter the car.Frankie yelled hey and she turned around.Erika turned around with a pale face. "It's him!That's the guy I last saw Caity with!",Erika yelled as she pointed through the window on the door seperating the two cars.Frankie looked towards the way she pointed.He gasped at what he saw.He saw her pointing at Tyler. ********************************************************* |
