Prologue Continued

Bennett


     When i saw them i climbed over the seats so she could sit in the front with Pacey, it broke me inside to see her so sad. This was the first time i've actually seen her in 4 years; she had grown a lot but despite that she still had that pin straight strawberry blond hair and those green eyes that gave away so much without her even having to talk. She was like a sister to me, well she is my sister but just through my mom, we don't share the same dad, but she lived with our mom just like i did too. That is how Pacey met her though, we were best friends in elementary school and he use to come over all the time, Harley lived with us until she ran away then no one knew where she was. My mom and her dad sent out a search part but she was never found, we though she was dead, until this morning when Pacey sent me a message saying she was here!
     The ride home was a quite one though Pacey had the radio on but it was turned down low and i don't think anyone was even listening. I could see the look on his face from where i was sitting he didn't really know what he was suppose to be doing or saying sort of like how i felt. With one had though Pacey was was holding tight to Harley's hand, they had only let go enough time to get in the car, and put their seat belts on, the other hand though was gripped tight to the steering wheel so tight his knuckles were turning white. He was scared i could tell, we had no idea where Harley had been or what she was dragging us into, but either way we would both be here for her. She needed us the most right now.
     "Alright," I said when we pulled up to the house about fifteen minuets later, "Do you want me to run in and see if the cost is clear and then he we can all go up to my room and figure out what we are all going to do?"
     "Sure," Pacey shrugged putting the car in park on the side of the street and turning to look at Harley and me. "Just like come to the door and give me a nod, i don't see your mom's car so unless it's in the garage we are in the clear anyway." With that i got out of the car and ran into the house, there was no way i was letting those two stay in the car alone for that long, if they did i would have no idea what is going on because knowing Harley like i do she would spill everything to Pacey then be too upset to tell me. Pacey would then stand up for her and say she doesn't have to because he hates to see her upset and i would be left in the dark just like old times. So, I did a quick sweep of the house and the garage "no car" i whisper to myself as i ran to the front door and waved and as if they where waiting for my signal they opened their doors like simultaneously and came into the house. 
     "We have about three hours to come up with a plan?" Pacey said coming through the front door with Harley right at his kneels, surprisingly they where not holding hands anymore "We can either tell your mom, or not tell her and figure out something else."
     "Well what does Harley want to do?" I asked turning to her and closing the front door. Harley just shrugged, i hadn't heard her say a word yet, but this is Harley she closes up when she gets scared or upset and won't let people in. "Well Harley we need to figure something out....we need a plan," I shrugged not wanting to make her cry but we needed answers "Do you want to tell mom or not?"
     "I don't know," Harley cried its like the tears where just waiting in her eyes as they started to fall slowly down her face "I don't know what i want to do, i just want to take everything back!" Pacey just looked at me as Harley leaned into him and he put his arms around her. What are we suppose to do? i mouthed to him I've got no idea he mouthed back i'm as clueless as you!
