Indiana Jr.
Chapter One
Mutt Williams couldn't believe his eyes. His mother and father were married. Right before his eyes they had become man and wife. It was unreal. Although he was happy for them he wished that they weren't going away for their honeymoon. Of course dad had insisted that they take an extravagant safari adventure in Kenya, and they'd be gone for two weeks. Whatever. He had a lot of stuff he needed to do anyways.
He'd been gone for six weeks, off with his father returning an ancient crystal skull to its rightful owner, and in the process meeting his long lost father and almost dying a few times.
People started to file out of the church to say goodbye to the bride and groom, and as they did he noticed one person stayed. She called his name and he knew instantly it was her.
"Henry!" she called to him
He couldn't help but gawk at her. She was in a pale pink lantern dress with thick straps, and of course her signature heeled low cut boots. She looked more beautiful then he had remembered.
" What are you staring at?" she asked.
Nicole Evers had just asked him a question. He had to respond. But he couldn't find the words so he managed a feeble "you."
" What? You've seen me in a dress before."
Of course he had. Nicole Evers had been a friend of his since he was eight years old, but they had only become particularly close in their freshman year of public high school. Although she didn't look it, she was kind of a tom-boy. She loved fixing motorcycles with him and didn't mind getting dirty. But today she looked like an angel. The most stunning girl he had ever laid eyes on. Unbelievable.
" Not a dress like that." He replied as a smirk formed on his face.
"Well get over here you." She motioned for him to hug her and he did. It was a long embrace and she appeared sad when they broke apart.
"What's wrong?" he didn't want to make her sad. That was the last thing he wanted.
"It's just that I… I didn't know where you were, and people said you were dead and that you had joined a gang and left and all of that stuff..." she was tearing up. Uh-oh! His alert went up, he hated to see her upset over something he did.
" No! I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was leaving. But it was really sudden and my dad and I had to go save Ox and then"
"Your dad?"
"Look, it's a long story. How about I tell you about it over diner, maybe a milkshake?"
"fine" she gave in, and a huge smile surpassed her lips. "But you're paying, Jones."
"Got it."
………………………………………………………………………………………………
" Oh my god!" she screamed. She was having trouble digesting all of this information. Mutt had a dad? Who was now married to his mom? They encountered ancient god-like creatures on their adventure in Peru, and of course the Ox had gone insane. Wow.
" I know! I still haven't adjusted to all of it… yet." he added.
" I missed you, Henry. A lot more than I would've guessed. It's just all of the sudden you were gone and I couldn't find you and I panicked and yeah.."
" Hey. I'm here now, and I'm not going anywhere."
"Promise?"
"Absolutely."
She smiled. He always made her fell better. She was just so relieved he was back now, for good. They were waling down Main Street towards her house arm in arm. She had gotten cold so he had given her his jacket, which was draped over her shoulders. She leaned into his shoulder, tired after the long day.
" What did your dad say about you quitting school?" she questioned.
"He's pissed about it. He says I have to go back…"
"I've been telling you that since you left. Besides, I'm still in school. If you some back you'll have me!"
"Yeah but your only a junior, while I would be a senior… I just feel like it's better for me to be working. At least for now."
"At least think about it…for me?" she flashed him her puppy dog pout and he broke down within seconds.
"Fine! I'll consider it."
"Excellent. Now take me home!"
He nodded because he couldn't speak. He was lost in her big brown eyes and he wasn't sure if he was ever coming out.
Tell me what you think!! If people don't like it, I probably won't continue with it so please review!! Thanks a bunch!!
