Episode 3: Trials
Chapter 1
Sunday 6th November 2016
Sean let out a yawn as he woke up and stretched before sitting up.
'Sunday...a quiet day after two days of parties and fireworks for the bonfire celebrations.' He thought with a smile.
He got out of bed and quickly got dressed, pulling on a pair of dark jeans, a white T-shirt and dark blue sweater. He also picked up a grey jacket and pulled on some black boots.
As he did so he thought for a moment. 'Wonder what we'll do today, hmmm, maybe I should call Jenn and Lyla, we could hang out, invite Natalie too.'
Just then, before he could think anything else, his phone suddenly indicated a text. He blinked, surprised, before figuring that Lyla or Jenn had taken the initiative in contacting him with a plan to hang out. But then he picked up his phone and read it, he then froze, eyes wide as he read it.
"You will pay for what you have done Diaz, there will be retribution for what you have done, you and those two girls you are so close too."
Sean remained frozen, wondering just what was going on.
'How in the hell, who could've...he's, he's threatening me and, and Jenn and Lyla.' Sean realized in horror. 'What, what should...I should warn them, they might panic or worry, but...but they need to know.'
So he wasted no time quickly texting both of them to warn them of the text he had just received. Mere moments later he received replies from both of them, which immediately made him even more worried. As they had indicated shock in their replies, having received the exact same sort of messages from an unknown sender.
"What the fuck…?" Sean whispered, perplexed.
Now he was confused and began to worry, for he had no idea what to do about this.
Shaking his head and still trying to think, Sean left his bedroom. As he did so, he spotted his brother also emerging from his room, dressing in simple cargo pants, a red T-shirt with a light blue jacket over it, simple white socks and brown boots.
"Oh, hey Sean." Daniel remarked upon seeing him, smiling lightly.
Pushing his worries aside, Sean also smiled. "Hi Daniel, you going out?"
Daniel nodded. "Yeah, just going next door to see Chris."
"Ah, okay cool, you guys have fun. I've got some calls to make and then I'm gonna go too, see ya later." Sean replied.
Daniel was already heading out the front door and so Sean just smiled and then pulled out his phone again, calling Jenn, she answered quickly.
"Sean, this...these messages we were all sent…?" She began.
Sean replied quickly. "I know, it's kinda freaky. But, listen, I was hoping we could meet up, you, me, Lyla, Natalie. All of us just hang out for the day. I know this is kinda weird but, it would do us good to just have some quiet time."
"I...I agree." Jenn replied. "You're right, okay, call up Lyla and ask her to bring Natalie, let's meet up at the park, I'll see you there."
Sean agreed and hung up his phone before calling Lyla, ready to make the arrangements.
As Daniel headed for the Eriksen house, he smiled as he recalled the last two days. He and Chris had enjoyed watching the display from the treehouse on Friday night and soon they were hanging out together with their fathers and Sean, as well as Jenn, Lyla and Natalie throughout Saturday.
'It was great fun, for all of us...' Daniel recalled; before spotting his friend. "Hey, Chris!"
The boy in question looked up and grinned, waving back before they hurried over to join each other. Chris was dressed up simply in grey sweatpants, a blue and red T-shirt and simple white socks, with blue sneakers. Chris was smiling and seemed as happy as ever, but Daniel stopped, noticing something which gave him pause.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing on Chris. 'Are those, are those bruises...those weren't there the day before...what happened?'
He bit his lip, unsure what to say or do.
Trying to be subtle he asked. "So, how was everything last night, all okay? Anything happen?"
Chris looked at him, eyebrow raised. "Nope, nothing, what's wrong, you're acting weird?"
That confused Daniel, either Chris didn't catch on to his efforts, or he was wilfully ignoring it. Seeing Chris' efforts to remain cheerful however, Daniel reluctantly decided to let the matter lie and not pursue it any further, not until he had more to go on at any rate. So he joined Chris as they went to hang out and simply had fun for the day.
Meanwhile, Sean arrived at the park and soon spotted the girls who were all waiting. He grinned the moment he saw Jenn, clad in denim jeans, a black T-shirt with a pink jacket and black knee high boots. She looked up and spotted him, grinning as he approached.
"Hey." He greeted.
Jenn smiled and they kissed before she replied. "Hi."
Lyla and Natalie smiled too, Lyla in green pants, a grey long sleeved T-shirt with a black jacket and black boots. Natalie wore matching boots with a brown T-shirt under a matching jacket and white pants.
"So, guess we're just gonna all hang out, huh?" Lyla commented.
"Well, it is Sunday." Natalie replied. "We might as well just have a relaxing day."
Sean smiled and agreed, as did Jenn, so they began to hang out together in the park, doing just that.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
