13: No Turning Back

The car ride was incredibly silent as everyone processed the night they all just had. Drake was driving the Pontiac, and Sophia was in the passenger seat, looking out of the window. Nadia, Finn, and Donna were all in the back seat. The only sound that present was the sound of the car speeding down the road.

Drake clears his throat, getting everyone's attention. "So, how's everybody holding up?"  He says enthusiastically. "We're all exhausted, beaten, and bruised." Finn said with annoyance in his voice. "Physically....... and emotionally." Sophia added, not even turning around to look at Drake. Silence filled the car once more as Drake sighed.

"Drake, dude, where are we even going?!"  Finn asked, visibly irritated. "Back to the football field to my bookbag." Drake said sharply. "The Crystal's in there, so we have to find it before it gets into the wrong hands!" He continued. "If I hear about this STUPID CRYSTAL one more time tonight, I swear I'm going to LITERALLY BEAT YOU WITH DONNA'S METAL BAT!" Finn shouts. "What's gotten into you Finn?!" Sophia  questions as she turns towards Finn. "What's gotten into me?!" Finn shouts. "Nadia and I wouldn't have been kidnapped, if you two weren't so CARELESS!"

"Please tell me you're kidding right now, Finn"! Sophia shouts. "We wouldn't even be in this situation if you just put your friend before that TRASH DEMON of a girlfriend you have!" Sophia shouted. "Maybe we wouldn't have even gone into woods that night!" She continues. "WILL YOU GUYS COOL IT?!" Nadia instantly yells. Everyone stayed quiet and they turned to Nadia. "We can't change what happened that night. All we can do is work with the busted hand of cards that we've been dealt, so all of you, get over yourselves!" She shouts as she sighs and crosses her arms.

"She's right, we can't change what happened." Drake mutters shamefully. Finn sighs and apologizes "I'm sorry, Drake. This has just been-" "The worst night ever?" Drake said with a chuckle. "You got that right." Donna said with a giggle. Before you know it, everyone is laughing about the events that took place.

An hour later, they arrive at the football field, and find it in shambles. They all get out the car. "Holy crap." Donna mumbles under her breath. "Oh my god." Finn says as he looks at all of the wreckage. "I can't believe that we caused all of... this." Drake gestures to the field. "Let's find your bag."  Nadia says as she walks up behind Drake and puts a hand on his shoulder. They all walk to field and Finn jogs towards the locker room, which surprisingly is still intact. "Hey guys, I'm gonna go get my clothes."  Finn announced. "Alright, go ahead." Drake said with a thumbs up.

Drake and Nadia walk together as they try to find Drake's bookbag. "How are you holding up?" Drake said in concern. "I'm doing better." Nadia said with smile. "Really?" Drake asked with a cocked eyebrow. "Well, aside from all the bruises and cuts on my face, I'm just glad to be alive." She said with a giggle. "Thanks for getting us out of there."  Nadia added. "You don't have to thank me." Drake said with a smirk. "Even though we argue, I care about Finn, and Finn obviously cares about you, so I'm basically obligated to care about you." He chuckled as Nadia laughed.

"So where did you last see your bag?" Nadia  asked. "Well, we should definitely check the concession stand first. My friend was working the stand at the game and I told him to keep it safe for me." He said. "Oh, never thought you were the "cautious" type." Nadia says with a sly smirk. "Well, when you have a situation like ours, there's no such thing as being too cautious." He says as they stop at the concession stand.

Nadia leans over the counter looking for the bag. "You see it?" He asks. "There!" Nadia points under the counter. "Hey, nice!"  Drake says as he gives Nadia high five and leaps over the counter with ease. "Looks like you've done that before." Nadia said with a smirk. "Maybe because I have."  He bragged with a wink.

Drake unzips the bag and sighs in relief as he sees the glowing crystal in his bag. "Eureka."  He smiles and  he shows the crystal to Nadia as she giggled. "You got lucky, you know that right?" She says as she folds her arms. "Well, lucky must be my middle name." He says as he leaps back over the counter. "Come on, show off. Let's see where everyone else is." Nadia says as she walks off and Drake follows her.

Drake, Nadia, Finn, Sophia, and Donna meet   up at the Pontiac and Drake shows them the crystal. "Whoa." Donna says as her eyes widened. "I know right." Sophia agreed. "Drake, open the trunk for me?" Finn asked as he carried his football bag on his shoulder. "Sure thing, bud." Drake says as he opens the truck to the car and Finn puts his bag inside. "By the way, where did get a Pontiac?" Finn asked in confusion. "One word: Connections." Drake says as he points finger guns at Finn.

"Oh god, do I want to know?" Finn said with a sigh. "It's probably for the best if you never knew." Drake said as he threw the keys to Finn. "With that said, you're driving." He said with wink. "Hey, Sophie! I call shot-gun!" Drake said as quickly sat in the passenger seat. "Aww, no fair!" She whined as she plopped down onto her seat in the back, and crossed her arms as she pouted.

"Okay, so where to?" Finn said as he started the car. "Well, the campus is practically deserted. Plus I don't think there will be a lot of people there, since it's Friday." Drake  says. "There are people looking for us, so it'd be smart to stay close to each other." Sophia replied. 

"Well, we could stay in my family's cabin. We only use it for holiday vacations, and they won't have the slightest idea that we're even there." Donna suggested happily. "But what about our stuff? I don't know about you guys, but I'd like a change of clothes." Finn asked. "We'll spend the night in the cabin and we'll go back to campus to get our stuff in the morning." Sophia said with a shrug. "Alright, well, is everybody cool with staying in Donna's family cabin?" Drake asked. Everyone agreed happily.

"Alright, Donna, tell me where to go."
