Tamra nodded. "Yup." She said smiling. "What do you think?"
Shana smiled. "I like it. Iz?"
Shannon smiled also. "I love it." She said shrugging.
"Let's do it." Shana said as she hopped out of the car as soon as it stopped.
Getting out slowly, Shannon got into the position where she was supposed to be. Basically they just walked slowly down the train tracks for about two hours trying to get it right and perfect. Next they were going to start the relationship thing.
"So we are gonna pay people to fight in our video?" Shannon questioned.
"Yup." Tamra said as she walked by.
Shannon nodded her head. "Well, okay then!" She said sarcastically. She couldn't help it. She was tired, she knew she and Shana were gonna get caught, and she had to tell her new friends that she had lying to them. 'I have sooo much to look forward to.' She thought bitterly to herself.
The last two hours for the set Shannon and Shana watched as couples fought and left each other as they sang 'Let's let Go.' It was getting pretty weird. Especially since they had to do it in front of people who were fighting.
"Okay girls, see you tomorrow." Tamra and Casey said as they walked off talking to each other.
Shana nodded her head in their direction. "Well, we are done for the day." She said stretching.
Shannon just bobbed her head up and down for a few short seconds. Then she went back to tying her shoe. "Let's just tell 'em today and get it over with." She said as she stood up.
"Huh, what?" Shana asked confused. "You switched topics too fast. What are we talking about now?"
"Let's just tell the guys today that I lied to 'em and get it over with. My conscience is killing me over this one." Shannon said angrily. She hated her conscience. It attacked her at the most inconvenient time. "Besides Zac practically knows anyway. And who knows how long before he tells Isaac and Taylor?"
Shana nodded slowly. "So it shall be done." She said as she started gathering her stuff into her backpack.
Shannon quickly gathered stuff into her backpack too.
"I swear to you." Zac said as he followed his brothers around their rented house for that the month. "This is Skyye and Izzy." He said holding up the 'Missing Poster.'
Taylor gave it a once over. "C'mon Zac, look at it. It doesn't even look at them." He pointed out.
"Okay fine." Zac said as he went to his father's computer and printed out a picture of two teenage girls that looked identical to Skyye and Izzy Sheyde.
"Whatcha doin?" Isaac asked curiously.
"Proving to you that this is Skyye and Izzy in this pic. And that they are really Shana and Shannon." Zac said shrugging.
The printer spat the page out and Zac grabbed hold of it. He shoved it into Taylor's face. "It's them. I'm telling ya."
Taylor took the page from Zac's hands and looked at it closely. He was shocked by the likeness. "It can't be." He said it but he knew it was them.
Isaac rolled his eyes and took the page from Taylor. He looked it over once. That's all he needed to know that it was Skyye and Izzy. Or was he supposed to say Shana and Shannon?
"Let's talk to them about it first." Taylor offered before anyone blew up.
"Maybe you should read this first." Zac said as he handed them the 'Missing Poster.'
"So they ran away from their homes." Isaac said as he read over Taylor's shoulder.
"Great!" Taylor said throwing his hands up in the air. "Runaways! We've befriended runaways!"
Zac laughed at his brother's outburst. "We should ask why they did it first." He supplied as he started to shut the computer down.
"Does it really matter?" Isaac asked. "They lied to us."
Zac raised his right shoulder than dropped it slowly. "They might have a good reason, Ike. I mean if you ranaway would you tell everyone that you did?"
Isaac looked at is younger brother. "You are just too smart sometimes." He said before he walked out of the room. "If you two wanna come with me to see Skyye and Izzy ya better come now." He called over his shoulder.
Taylor and Zac ran out after Isaac and hopped into his car.
"So what do we say?" Taylor quizzed. "Hi Shana, Shannon we know?"
Isaac laughed. "I think we'll give them some time before we tell them that we know."
Zac nodded his head. "Good idea. I like it better than Tay's."
They each started laughing.
"So what do we tell 'em?" Shana asked as she sprawled out on her bed. "Hi Taylor, Isaac, Zac. Sorry but we are actually runaways and we lied to you?"
Shannon rolled her eyes." That's not exactly what I thought that we could do. But it's a start." She said sarcastically. "We could just say that I'm crazy and I make stuff up a lot?"
Shana laughed. "They know that you are crazy. Everyone on this coast knows that you are crazy."
"Well, then I guess we'll have to stick with the boring old truth then." Shannon said shrugging as she lay on her bed.
She slowly picked up their phone and dialed an unfamiliar number. "Yes, Mrs. Hanson. This is Izzy. Right, I was wondering if one of the guys were around? They're not, huh? Well do you know where they were goin'? Skyye and I really need to talk to 'em. They're comin' here?" She asked as she stared at Shana with wide eyes.
There was a knock on their door. "Yes, okay." She said as Shana went to answer the door. "Thank you Mrs. Hanson. Buh bye." She said hanging up the phone.
Shana came back in smiling. A waiter followed with their food.
Shannon laughed loudly in relief. "We're too paranoid." She said between her laughs.
Shana nodded her head as she continued to laugh. "But hey, at least we have food." She said as the waiter left.
"Yeah." Shannon said as she grabbed a hamburger off the plate. "Hmm, good food." She said after she took a bite.
Shana followed her lead. "Very good." She said as she took another bite.
"So do runaways get a lot of food?" Someone asked bitterly from their doorway.
Shannon choked on her hamburger and went to get something to drink to clear her passageway.
Shana turned around and saw Isaac, Taylor, and Zac standing there. "Umm, we can explain?" She asked as she saw their hurt expressions.
"You lied." Isaac said as if he couldn't believe it just yet.
Shannon came back. "Like we wanted to." She defended herself and Shana. "Being runaways there are certain things we can't really talk about."
"And saying that we are runaways is one of them." Shana pointed out.
"Sit down." Shannon ordered the guys. "And we'll tell you everything." She said softly as she shut the door behind them.
"Beginning to end?" Taylor asked.
"The whole truth?" Isaac asked.
"And nothing but the truth?" Zac added attempting humor to all the seriousness.
Shannon smiled weakly. "The whole truth, from the beginning to the end. Anything that you want to know basically." She said as they all sat down on one bed.
"So start." Isaac encouraged as they all got as comfortable as they were going to.
