《Buried with Secrets》Chapter Five: Sleepover
Advertisement
It is around 8 PM when Alana receives a text from Lindsey, asking her to come over for a girls night. After the fight she just had with her sister she's more than happy to leave her house. She packs some stuff and heads downstairs, looking for her mother.
''Hey mom, I was wondering if I could go to Lindsey's, she wants to have a girls night.'' She asks her mother, hoping she would say yes.
''That's okay sweety, just text me when you arrive there.'' She says, smiling at her daughter. Her mother looks like she had just cried for hours, her eyes are all red and puffy and she looks tired.
''Thanks, will do. Oh and mom.. I'm sorry about Cindy, maybe I just shouldn't reply next time.'' She says, feeling guilty that her mother is always in the middle of their fights. She loves her mother and she's been a great mother, she doesn't deserve anything that has happened to her.
''It's fine sweetheart. Cindy just needs some help. I hope I can get some for her. But for now, go have some fun with your friends. You deserve it.''
Alana smiles at her mother, she grabs her stuff and leaves the house. ''Love you mom!''
''Girls night! I brought food!'' Alana says while greeting her friends. She loves to go over to Lindsey's, the dark wooden floors, the fireplace that's always on, all the warm colors in the house. It makes you feel like you're at home. Her parents always greet Alana and Mila when they come in, warning them to not make too much noise, but always happy to see the girls. It does make them sad to not see Daytuso with them anymore, she spent so much time at their house. She felt like a sister to Lindsey.
''So.. did Cindy tell you anything about the Rylan situation?'' Mila asks, once they get to Lindsey's room.
''She told mr. Anderson Daytuso's family kidnapped Rylan, and that I should have died instead of being born.'' She says, a hint of sadness can be heard.
''Oh my god, why is she such a bitch?'' Lindsey exclaims.
''Yeah well.. Soon after she just started screaming again in her room. I think she just doesn't know how to deal with emotions.'' Alana explains, sticking up for her sister.
''Unless it's anger.''
''Amen.'' Lindsey says, pretending to pray.
"Okay lets just watch a movie, this is making me feel depressed." Alana says, quickly changing the subject.
At around 2 AM in the night, Lindsey can hear her parents arguing downstairs. ''Do they ever sleep?'' She groans. She quickly looks to see if Alana and Mila are still sleeping and carefully makes her way downstairs, making sure she makes absolutely no noise.

''What is wrong with you? This will come back to bite us in the asses.'' She hears the serious voice of her mother say.
''I said I would get my revenge, and I do not make empty threats Ava.'' Her father replies, sounding almost angry. 'What did he do?' Lindsey thinks to herself.
''You want revenge for something OUR daughter decided to do herself? She admitted she crashed that party in the hopes of destroying Rylan's campaign. Anderson had all the reasons to be angry at her.'' Her mother argues back. This shocks Lindsey, did her father kidnap Rylan? But why? What is he getting out of this?
''This is not just about Lindsey and you know it.'' Her father says, sounding sad.
''We all want to find out who killed Daytuso, but a teenage girl won't be the answer to that. Besides it has already been proven that the other driver was drunk. Maybe it was just an unfortunate accident. By doing this we are getting ourselves in the middle of a war that we cannot afford to be in. Mateo will handle the Andersons.'' Her mother tries to reason with Trey.
''Doctors can be bribed. We all know Anderson was after Daytuso for months, as punishment for what she did to Rylan. He did it, and I want it proved. If it takes kidnapping his daughter to do so. Then so be it. And this will be the end of this discussion, I will hear no more of it!'' Trey snaps and walks off. Lindsey quickly makes her way back to her room.
''Girls wake up!'' Lindsey whisper yells to her friends. ''Wh-What's going on..?'' Mila yawns.
''We need to do something, but you're not gonna like it.'' Lindsey says seriously. Mila and Alana look at each other ''what now Linds?'' Alana says almost scared to ask.
''This is madness.'' Alana whisper yells. ''It is 3 AM and here we are at some abandoned bunker your father uses to kidnap people!? What even is your family!?'' Alana says, mad to have been brought into this.
''My family is shady okay? Can't help that. But I want to prevent our deaths from happening so are you with me or not!?'' Lindsey says while grabbing Alana by her shoulders and forcing her to look her in the eyes. Alana says nothing but just nods instead. ''Okay let's go.''
''Linds, there have to be guards. I don't think your father would leave Rylan all alone..'' Mila says scared.
''That's why I brought this.'' The redhead says while taking out a gun.
''Are you kidding me!?'' Mila says almost loud enough for anyone to hear her.

''Don't worry, if need be I will be the one using it. Now let's go, we don't have all night.''
Carefully and without making a noise they make their way to where Lindsey suspects Rylan to be. As expected there are multiple guards. Lindsey grabs a rock that she got from outside and throws it away, succesfully distracting 3 guards who go out to inspect the sound. ''Two more.'' She says.
Alana sighs ''if this will kill me, I will come back to haunt you.'' she says seriously. ''What are you doing?'' Mila says worried. Then Alana starts yelling and running in the opposite direction, succesfully taking away the last two guards.
''She's going to get herself killed!'' Mila says.
''Yeah.. well don't let her distraction be in vain, let's go!'' Lindsey says while running into the room. As suspected Rylan is there, bound to a chair. Crying hysterically, when she sees Lindsey she starts to scream in anger.
''Shut up! I had nothing to do with this. We're here to save you. So if you keep screaming or try to fight me, I'll leave you here. Understood?'' Lindsey threatens Rylan. She carefully nods, after which Mila unties her. ''Quickly, the guards will be back soon. I know a faster way out, follow me.'' Lindsey says while running away. Mila and Rylan following her.
When they get out of the bunker they see Alana standing by the car. ''Thank god you're alive!'' Mila says hugging her friend. ''That was kinda exiting!'' Alana exclaims earning a death glare from Rylan.
But before they get into the car Lindsey shoves Rylan into a wall, pointing the gun at her abdomen. ''Listen here Anderson, this is how this will go. I will bring you home, you will get out of the car and go inside. When your family asks where you have been and how you have escaped, you will tell them that you have no idea who was behind this and that you managed to escape on your own. You will tell no one my family was involved nor will you tell anyone we helped you escape. If you do, I will kill you myself. Am I being clear?'' Lindsey says deathly serious. Rylan just nods again, unsure of what to do or say. ''Good. Let's go.''
''Worst movie ever.. seriously. Who picked this again?'' Lindsey asks. ''What can I say? I'm a sucker for bad movies.'' Daytuso says laughing. ''We know, but this was just bad on another level.'' Alana jokes. ''That's what makes it funny Lana.'' Daytuso jokes back. Mila just shakes her head ''I will have nightmares about this.'' All the girls laugh and Lindsey throws some popcorn to Mila ''here have some popcorn, it'll make the brain booboo better.''
''So how did you torture Rylan this week?'' Lindsey says, changing the subject. She always did love gossip and meddling in other people's lives. Some say that's why she and Daytuso are such close friends. ''Oh I just shared a very embarrasing video. Nothing too bad of course, but you know Rylan.. Always blowing things out of proportion.'' Daytuso replies.
''Please be careful Day.. I have a feeling something bad is about to happen.'' Alana says worried.
''You also 'had a feeling' that this movie was going to be good.'' Daytuso jokes while Alana just roles her eyes. ''I'm always careful Lana, you know that.'' Daytuso winks at her friend.
Then Daytuso receives a text, she immediately stands up with a worried expression on her face. ''What's wrong?'' Mila asks. ''Uhh.. Nothing.. Nothing. I just have to go..'' The raven haired girl stutters. ''Go? Like right now?'' Mila asks. Daytuso just nods while grabbing her things, before she leaves she hugs her friends and wishes them a good night. Leaving her friends behind, confused as to what that text said.
Half an hour later Lindsey gets a call from Daytuso. Confused, she decides to pick up and puts the phone on speaker. ''Day? Is everything alright?'' It sounded as if Daytuso was still in the car, which was strange because she never used her phone while driving.
''I'm being followed.'' She says.
''Where are you?'' Mila quicly asks.
''I'm not sure, it's a big road but I'm not familiar with it. I tried to loose them but they just keep coming up behind me.''
''Have you called your dad?''
''He isn't answering..''
''Just keep trying to loose them okay? I'll see if I can track your phone and send my dad in your direction. Stay on the phone.'' Lindsey says.
''DAD COME IN HERE!'' Very quickly both of Lindsey's parents are in the room. ''Day is being followed.. She needs help.'' Lindsey explains. Trey nods and goes to help Lindsey track her friends phone.
''Guys.. I don't think this is going to end well.'' Daytuso suddenly says.
''Don't talk like that. We will get to you sweetheart.'' Ava tries to reassure her daughters friend.
''If this doesn't end well. It is someone we-''
A scream.
A crash.
The phone call ends.
Accident?
Murder.
