JP sat cross-legged on the bed she once shared with Jason. How much time had gone by? How long had she been waiting for him to come back? The day seemed to be so long, and from time to time she tried to log into her blog to see if there were any comments, maybe an update from someone who had been following along with her journey. But nothing. She couldn't even connect. She figured that a storm was coming in, and that she would wait for it to pass.
The van wouldn't start either. She had at one point decided to travel into town to contact someone about what had happened, but nothing. No sound, no click, just silence.
She could try to walk out, just walk away from the van and into the town. But, what if she couldn't find her way back?
She kept herself going by repeating over and over that eventually, Jason had to come back.
He had to.
After all, all of his stuff was in this van. She was in the van, and you don't just abandon everything you own over a little argument. Especially not when you're expecting to marry the person with whom there was an argument.
To JP, it had been just a few hours. a few hours of sitting on the bed in the back of the van, waiting for Jason. The internet had been down for just a little while, and soon everything would be back to normal.
What JP didn't know, was that it had been 4 months. JP had been sitting on the bed, legs crossed, for 4 months of endless day. She had walked deep into the woods the first day, but to her, it was just a walk to and from the lake. She tried to drive out the second day, and had been checking her phone every hour. To her, it was just a very long day. Not even too long of a day, just one of those summer days that seem to go on forever, despite it being autumn.
JP knows nothing of the Things that Possess. She knows nothing of the rules that come with being removed from your vessel, or what's more finding a new vessel to inhabit. She doesn't know that Jason and Elizabeth, who has been living blissfully as JP, have already been married for a week and a half.
She doesn't know that all she has to do, is find a new vessel, and she'll be free from this endless day.
All she knows
is that Jason will be back
Any moment now
Jason will be right back......
