Jump Chapter 1
Hey my names Jase and no it's not short for Jason it's just Jase. I'm going to tell you something unbelievable, hell, half the time I don't even believe it myself! It happened like in the stories and movies, you know? Well, Kinda. You see it happened like this.
"MOM! Can you let up, I told you, I DON'T wanna talk about it!"
That went good didn't it? , So much for sneaking out the house. Geez you make just one little mistake and WHAM! You grounded for eternity. Maybe I should tell you, I Kinda got caught for being in a stolen car. I NEVER stole it! I was just. You know, with a buddy. Well if "someone" never left there keys in the car it would have never happened, I mean COME ON! It's like waiting to be used right? WRONG! Anyway my best friend Derek and I were walking down the road and what would you know; Derek spots this AWESOME car with the keys still in and the doors unlocked. From the beginning it looked like a set up but after glancing around and spotting no one, I kept quiet, like I said a mistake.
" Jase! Look man! Someone's left their keys in the car!"
Derek points to the keys in the car and like some chump I reply "Yeah that's kewl, man"
Derek looks around and sees nobody. "come on Jase let's take a ride",
" WHAT!" I yell. "Derek, man, that so like the worst idea that you ever come up with, that's asking for shit!" .Derek looks at me with this pleading face and I, give in. Okay pause. Now you have to realise something, Derek's like totally cute! The ultimate next door neighbour type. Brown hair shoulder length, green eyes, pouty lips, I mean, COME ON! You would too! Sigh, I know, I'm a sucker for a pretty face, there. you happy now.
"Please! Man Plweeez!" cries Derek with his huge green puppy eyes, all big round and shiny, I mean if I didn't know better I would have bet he practiced the look every night before he went to bed.
"Okay let's do it, but we bring it back okay? I'm not going down for this shit" I answer. He had to give me the LOOK didn't he? We hop in and Derek starts it up.
While this was going on, unknown to us, a cop was watching from behind of a shop window. "Stacy, isn't that you new car!?" he asks the woman next to him.
"What? Why yes. Hey!" The officer grabs his radio and calls for back up.
"Jase dude, this is one smooth ride" Derek glances at me while I sit terrified next to him.
"Come on Jase, loosen up!" As luck would have it fate decided to further THAT little statement.
"Beew Wuup".
"Awww Fuck! Derek that's a cop car, ohman ohman ohman ohman.. Fuck man stop the car already! Dude we like so busted!" damn, all I could see was my life flash before my eyes. Mom's going to be pissed! Let me tell you that if my mom's pissed then it's with good reason that my life is passing before me. While I was busy hyperventilating Derek was quite beside me. I felt him hit the accelerator and glance at the speedometer. 180 km!
"Derek SLOW DOWN! Man you gonna get us killed!" I shout. But he doesn't listen, it's like he's frozen. I look behind us at the flashing cop car and break out into a cold sweat, heart race by the minute, blood roaring in my ears, I look in front of us. Time seems to slow. there's a road block ahead of us and it doesn't look like we going to get past it any time soon. My mind quietens and all I think is "I wonder what's for supper tonight?" I kid you not; it seems that all you can think when shits hitting the fan are extraneous thoughts. We aren't going to be able to stop in time.
That's when it happens. The one event that changed my life from then on. I sit paralysed in my seat and I hear a roar, like thunder continuously, I don't realise it at first with my blood pounding in my ears but then I'm like
"what the fuck!" The car shakes furiously and then "Bang!" it's silent. We're sitting in my driveway with car still running, ripples scaring the air around us.
Derek's quavering voice fills the still air "Jase what the hell just happened?!"
