The Butterfly Effect by Gabby Scranton (portable ebook reader .TXT) 📕

to him and whispered back in his ear.

“Just remember Landon, no matter what happens to you or what you look like I’m always here.”

He nodded and that’s when I heard my phone go off. It was a private number.

“Hello, is there a Landon there?” a deep voice asked.

“Maybe, may I ask who is calling?”

“Just say an old pal.”

“Landon, it’s for you.” I called to Landon.

“Who is it?”

“I don’t know, he says he’s an old pal?”

I handed the phone to him and his eyes widened in terror when he heard the voice speak then put it on speaker.

“Guess what Landon boy, Daddy’s home,” an evil voice said.

Then I let the words sink in and my eyes matched Landon’s and the next thing I know we’re both running.
The Afraid

Landon’s POV-
How dare he involve Jamie! I keep a tight grip on her arm as I pull towards our cabin to grab the things we need and the guys. I look over at her and notice she’s looking at her phone. I smile, she looks so beautiful with the moonlight in her hair. Wait, who is she calling?
“What do you think you’re doing?!” I hissed.
“Calling 911... we need help Landon.” She answered simply.
I grab her phone.
“Give it back!”
I ignore her, turn off the navigator and throw the phone in the woods.
“Hey! Do you know how long I had to save up for that? That was like a year of allowance and birthday money!”
“Hey Jamie?”
“What?” She snapped.
“Do you think you could shut the FUCK up!” I yelled.
Maybe I was a little too harsh...
“Jeez Landon... don’t get your panties in a twist!”
I roll my eyes.
“Ok Jamies, here’s the plan. We’re going to go to the cabin, and you’re going to get some sleep. We’re going to have a really busy day tomorrow. I’ll stay up and start to pack the necessities. I’ve also got to wake the guys, which takes like an hour anyways, finally I’m going to half to use the camp’s pay phone and call a few people to make sure we all have a reason to leave camp, a ride to the safe house, and well, a safe house. Ok?
She looks a little shocked. “Landon, aren’t we being a little extreme here?”
“Extreme?! Extreme?! I showed you what my dad did to me Jamie! He’ll kill everyone I’ve ever loved, just to get back at me because I supposedly made him go to prison! I’m not letting you die, because you’re too stupid to realize this isn’t some little game! This isn’t a dream where you can just open your eyes and everything will go the way you want it to. You need to grow up and stop being so naive!”
“You know what Landon, go fuck yourself.”
“Nah, that’s what Trisha is for.” Trisha is this chick who is basically like a prostitute. Except you don’t have to pay for her. She’s really easy. She has these huge like DD sized boobs and a really nice ass. Besides she thinks I’m sexy.
She looks at me disgustedly. “Ok Landon, you do that. I’m going to go find my phone, pray it’s not broken and go sleep somewhere else. Don’t expect em to come back to the cabin.”
“Why do you have to be so stubborn? The cabin is right around the corner from this tree.”
She stares at me blankly. “Whatever Landon. Have fun with taco sauce or whatever her name is.”
“It’s Trisha, and thank you I will.”
“Hey where’s the nurse’s office?”
“Around the corner and down a bit why?”
“Oh, no reason.” Weird
.She walks in the cabin and i reach for my phone to text Trisha.

Me: Hey, you up?
Trisha: Yeah Baby, are you?
Is she an idiot? No bitch, I’m sleep texting.
Me:Yeah, wanna meet up?
Trisha: Of course! I’m so horny!”;) Where you wanna meet up?
Bitch please, you always are.
Me: Behind the nurse’s office?
Trisha: Sure baby, be there in 10 ;)

In case your minds haven’t figured this out already, no i don’t really like Trisha. I mean, she’s to....
“Not like Allison or Jamie.” My mind tells me.
Damn conscious.
I kick the gravel down the walkway towards the nurse’s office.
I stand there and look down at my watch.
Great another 10 minutes of my life, wasted.
Finally a I hear another crunch in the gravel.
“It’s about time.” Like really? The chick can’t go any faster?
I’m standing here for only about a minute or so, and she still hasn’t shown up. I yawn and tap my foot impatiently.
“We don’t have all day here.” I say to myself.”
I poke my head around the corner of the building. Maybe she forgot where we usually go.... I see a shadow of someone heading by the entrance of the building. I run after her before she can get us both in trouble. But my feet stop short when instead of seeing the curvy blonde, i see profile of a girl who looks peculiarly like,
“Jamie?” She ignores me and keeps walking. Maybe, it’s not Jamie. But, what she does next proved my theory, she stuck up her middle finger and gets closer to the door.
Stubborn girl.
“Jamie get in the cabin right now or-”
I hear crunching behind me and turn around, maybe Trisha finally decided to show up. I’ll half to deal with Jamie another time.
I squint my eyes to get a better look at her and realize she;s wearing all black?
‘What are you wearing,” I scream hiss.
I squint harder and see the there’s not one but two people. MY hearts pounding and my feet start pounding on the gravel. I run as fast as i can towards the woods where i trip over a branch.
“Fuck!”
I try to get up, but the shadows are too fast and they put a black sack over my head. The last thing I hear is laughter and the piercing soundsof my own screams before everything tuens black.
