I wake up literally sucking in as much air as I can. I am finding it a lot harder to breath then I thought it would. Oh wait that's right I am in the middle of no where surrounded by big green oak trees and it looks like there's a little town not to far North of where I am.
"I hope someone there can tell me where I am I kinda think I missed dinner my mom is gonna kill me." I said as I forced myself up off the ground.
I make my way into the little town, and when I say little you better understand this is the smallest town I have seen in my life. The population is literally like 50 maybe close to 100 but still. There is this little brick two story house and I walk up to knock on the door but before my hand reached the door it flung open. I fell back in shock of course. Out came this little old lady with a cane yelling "Jake you better believe I will get you!" But she looked surprised when she found me and not this Jake kid.
"Now who are you! Oh what a beautiful young lady! I used to have long golden locks like yourself and you bright green eyes are to die for ohh my." Ok so this lady is kinda freakin me out here.
"Thank you?! And I'm Juliet. Anyway could you by chance tell me where I am?"
"Oh well you are in Checkersville, Kentucky!" Oh my gosh I was out a lot longer than I had thought. I had just gone from Pennsylvania to Kentucky! Oh I am in SO much trouble.
"Excuse me but do you know anyone here that can shown me to the nearest hotel please?" I did have some cash in my back pack that lucky never came off me.
"Well um you see we don't get a lot of visitors so we do t really have hotels here but you could stay with me for as long as you need my grandson Jake can take good care of you. He is about your age so you two should get along well."
"I thank you so much!"
"Of course!"
I walk down away from the house towards what I think is a restaurant cause I am dying of hunger.
Yassssss it is a dinner!! I sit down next to this kid that's looks about my age maybe like two or three years older.
"Hi! I'm Juliet May I ask your name?" I said looking at the kid next to me. I mean I'm lost in the middle of Kentucky might as well try to make some friends.
"Yeah uhh hi I'm Jake nice to meet you."
"Oh so I guess I ran into your grandmother and she said I could stay at her house for a little and she talked about you so I finally met you."
"Yup here I am." He does not sound very amused.
Kinda rude not gonna lie. So I am just gonna mind my own business.
"Excuse me can I get a vanilla milkshake please?" I said attempting to get the waiters attention.
"Of course that will be right out."
"Thanks." It kinda feels refreshing hearing the kind tone in the waiters voice lets just say this isn't the warmest welcoming.
After I've finished my milkshake I head out to explore the town a little more. I come across this really big tree there large thick vines up the side and there is like a little place to sit in the tree. It honestly looks really cool so I climbed up in it and laid done and stared at the bright blue sky. It's beautiful. Them all of a sudden:) " um excuse me but what are you doing in my tree?" Ughh it's gim the ride Jake kid from the dinner.
"This is your tree." I said with a little bit of sarcasm. That may be my specialty.
"Uh yeah that's what I said get out would ya."
How rude!
"I will not! You are so rude!" He gets under my skin! Ugghhh
"Ok the options are you get down or I will come up there and carry you down. Which will it be."
I sat still and did not move.
—-Jake's POV——
What in the world who does this chick think she is. "Listen chica this is your last warning."
She didn't move she is a stubborn one I'll tell yeah that.
So I climbed up the tree and sat down on and empty space on the platform.
"Who even are you?" I'm not nosy I'm just curious.
"I'm Juliet Fletcher and I'm 16 years old and I was kidnapped and while escaping I ended up here. Anything els you need to know 'know it all'?"
"Excuse me chica but around here you earn your place and I've earned mine so it's your turn if your going to be staying with me and my grandmother than you have to work for it."
"And where exactly?"
"You see that dinner over there? Yeah well my grandmother owns it and I work there and so do you now." The look on her face was priceless she looked like she was going to have a cow.
I couldn't hold it in I let out a little laugh but I covered it with a cough so we're good.
"Wonderful when do I start?"
"Now, lets go." So I took her hand to hell her down and I felt like a weird tingly feeling in my hand. For a split second we were staring at each other in the eyes, then she pulled away. So we got out of the tree and went off to the dinner to begin here 'training'. Yeah that's what will call it 'training' it sounds super sophisticated.
