Hello Peoples, sorry it has taken me so long to update. I had a mixture of being in another state with no computer, and having musical rehearsals. So here it is; my next chapter.

The car trip was a soothing kind of silence until it was interrupted by the sound of Tommy's phone ringing. He looked down at the screen to see a picture of him and his girlfriend, Kim, as the caller ID.
"Hey Kim, what's up?" He answered casually.
"Where the hell are you?" She panicked.
"I'm driving. Why?"
"Tommy, you can't drive. Where are you really?"
"I'm driving with my dad." He relaxed her.
"Hey." Johnny called over to the phone in Tommy's hand.
"Mr. Dillon is looking for you." She replied, sending a shiver down Tommy's spine.
"What? Why?" He yelled back.
"You never came back last night. He thinks you're running away."
"Well tell him I am. I'm sick of that place." Johnny gave a puzzled look to Tommy who ignored it.
"I'm not telling him that. He'll fucking kill me."
"Well I'll come pick you up then." Tommy offered, before looking to Johnny for approval.
"You're crazy. I swear to God, don't."
"I don't care. I'm coming." He answered before hanging up.

"Where am I going?" Johnny asked, pushing his foot on the brake.
"It's an abandoned motel just north of here."
"Ok." Johnny replied before butting in with another question. "So….Kim?" He asked.

"She's my girlfriend."
"Fucked her yet?" He said, sounding a lot lighter.
"What the hell?"
Johnny just kept chuckling while Tommy sat there pretending he didn't know him.

Kim looked around hoping no one overheard her talking to Tommy as she slid her phone into the back pocket of her skinny jeans. She jumped a little when she saw one of the other kids from the motel walk around the corner. She relaxed a bit when she saw he was only having a smoke. He saw her and walked towards her.

"Hey Kim. Why so stressed?" He asked as he offered her his cigarette.
"It's nothin'. Just shit with Tommy." She shrugged as she inhaled a puff.

"Did you get any word from him?" He asked again.
"Look Mitch, I don't know. He isn't answering my calls, and when he does he just hangs up. Just leave me alone." She yelled back at him, sensing he was doing some spying for Mr. Dillon. She handed him his smoke and walked over to the corner of the road. She kept looking out any sign of Tommy, before she felt someone's heavy breathing on her neck.

"Fu…" She tried to scream before the bony hand covered her mouth. He turned her around and she sighed deeply. There was Tommy smiling from ear to ear, at how much she jumped.
"Happy to see me?" He asked putting his arms out for a hug.
"I hate you." She replied cynically as she flicked him in the head. She looked over at Johnny's car. "Wow."
"Hey Kim." Johnny said as he did a little wave.
"Hey…." She paused realising she didn't know his name.
"Johnny." Tommy answered for her, as he opened the back door of the car. He slid in and patted the seat next to him. She cautiously sat down, before looking for where Mitch was.
"What's up?" Tommy asked, sensing her nervousness.
"I think Mitch was watching me."
"So?" Johnny interrupted.

"So…he's probably spying for Mr. Dillon." She answered.
"I have just about no idea, who you're talking about." Johnny interrupted again.

"We'll explain later. Just drive." Tommy said.

Johnny found himself driving back towards Purgatory again, while the two sixteen year olds in the back kept mentioning stuff about people he was clueless about.

So there you have chapter 8. It took me about a week and a half to write because teachers all decide they like cramming our assignments into the last week of school and for two weeks before that most of my days were full day musical rehearsals or actual shows, and the week before that I was in Tasmania (it's a state in Australia if you didn't know). Anyway, I have no school for two weeks and I'm gonna be writing as much as I can. Except for when my family needs to use the computer. I'll be getting my laptop back hopefully in three weeks so I can update a lot more then. :)

Okay. Thanks if you bothered to read that. Please review and maybe suggest to your friends if you like it.
Til next time….
Luvv ya,
