"Long Awaited" Chapter 35: "Wrong Number"

David's POV:
I just really brought Virginia to Utah to see how she would get along with everyone, I was not expecting to have all the friends she made here. When they did reveal themselves, it appeared like she was more at home so if it made her more relaxed and comfortable, I was content with this set-up. For most of the night, I really just sat back and watched how she was getting along with my family and stuff. Sometimes I engaged in conversations, mostly to complement her statements and things, but I mainly just wanted to observe the night. One thing I found out that night that I never thought of asking her was her political party. My mom started talking about politics, I never knew she was so passionate about the subject...but she was explaining something about a past President and what he did wrong. That night, I found out she was a Republican and agreed 100% with my mother. That made me VERY happy!
When her friends began to leave at the end of the night, she started to get really bored and sat down on the chair next to me, hoping for a conversation so I gave it to her.
Me: "Seems like you get along great with my family. I'm glad!"
Virginia: "Ahh, I love you family! They are so sweet! And nice!"
Me: "Haha, I guess they got the right impression from you!"
After a few seconds of silence, I hear her ringtone go off and it was the song I wrote for her.
Me: "Gin! You didn't!"
Virginia: "What? You wrote it for me and I love it, so!"
I shake my head at her and feign disappointment, she laughs and picks up her phone and goes to the other room and talk in private.

Virginia's POV:
I pick up my phone and escort myself out of the room. I wanted to speak with the unknown caller in private. Soon, I look down at the caller ID and it says "restricted" and I automatically think it's my mother, my father, or a friend calling from a landline. I pick it up and answer it casually.
Me: "Hey! What's up?"
Caller: "Hello" a mysterious, female tone answers. I've never heard this voice before.
Me: "Uhh, hi, who is this?"
Caller: "No one of your concern."
Me: "Um, yeah it is. You called my cell phone. Who are you?"
Caller: "Who do you think I am?"
Me: "I don't know. Rachel? Allison? Amanda? Jennifer?"
Caller: "Nuh-uh"
And the line disconnects. I do not have any information to link the call back to any source. The phone call was too short for police to track and they couldn't now that she's hung up. This was very strange, to say the least. I try to find everything I can about this unknown, mystery caller by using my cellphone..callback number: nothing. call source: nada. I even went to try to get the restricted number to pop up, but with no luck. While I'm looking down at my phone I feel a hand touch my shoulder and I jump.
David: "Woah, a little jumpy, are we? What happened?"
Me: "Uhh, I just got a weird call. Nothing big, I don't think."
David: "I don't know. Did it say what number it was?"
Me: "No, it just came up as restricted."
David: "Probably a wrong number or something."
He takes his hand and picks my head up. He looks deeply into my eyes and takes notice of something out of character for me.
David: "You don't look so good."
Me: "What do you mean, David?"
David: "You look like you saw a ghost. What did the person say?"
Me: "Nothing important or that could help me locate the person. It just felt like very..." and I shake and he feels me do so. He takes me in his arms and gives me a big hug.
David: "There's nothing to worry about, yet. Calm down."
Me: "I suppose you're right. I got to stop being such a worry-wart."

"Long Awaited" Chapter 34: "Locked In Love"

Narration:
This was not going to turn out well for anyone. David loves Virginia. Virginia loves David. Justin loves Virginia. Miley loves David. Miley was planning a way to get to David, but no one knew what it was except for her. For the next few months, she kept herself locked up in her room...only taking leave to eat, and go outside in the fresh air, but she usually opened the window for that. She was busy at work with her devious plan, unfolding in her demented mind. To make things worse, nobody knew what she was working on and not many people cared to know so she was free to take as much time as she wanted. Justin hadn't heard from her in so long he thought she killed herself. He didn't want to go over to her house to see if she was alright because the conscience would fight its way back to the surface and he didn't want to feel the remorse and resentment that he had before. She was there, undisturbed, for a year. She was ready to put her plan into action.

Virginia's POV:
For the next year after I left Justin to be with David, everything was working out fine. Between us and between us and the world. Honestly, it was quite laid back and everything I remember from when we were friends...when I was on vacation in Utah over three years ago. But as soon as that one day came, it started getting scary. This is what happened:
David took me to Utah to see a surprise or something. I never really got a straight forward answer on why he wanted to take me to Utah, but he did and I happily agreed to go. When we got to Utah, I finally understood why he wanted to take me. I remembered he wanted to introduce me to his WHOLE family. I had already met Daniel, but I guess he wanted to see how I got along with his little sister. Well, she wasn't little anymore. She was actually 20 now, I had to remember to do that math before I entered the house. "David is 28, I'm 22 and Amber is 2 years younger than me...okay, she's 20!" To my surprise, all of the Archuletas were at the house. I didn't think that Melissa Jasmine, nevermind Claudia would be there. I am usually very restricted around company so I told David before he led me inside. He said it was fine and to just be myself, there was nothing wrong with being a little shy. David knew I was nervous so he went inside before me and helped me inside. Why was I this nervous? I shouldn't be, it was just his family!
David: "Guys, this is Virginia!"
Daniel: "Yeah, yeah, yeah!" he says in a playful manner
Lupe: "Hey honey!" she starts to look at me in an uncomfortable manner. "Have I seen you before?"
Me: "Uhh, maybe, just once."
Lupe: "When?"
Me: "Like three years ago?"
Lupe: "With James and the others, right?"
Me: "YEAH! You remembered! By the way, how are they doing?"
Lupe: "I don't know, you can ask them yourself."
As soon as she said that...James, Veronica, Jessica, Cody, Casey, and Kevin come out of the kitchen.
James: "Virginia! I see everything is worked out!"
Me: "Uhh, yeah!" I smile a teasing smile at him.
He walks past me without making a sound and whispers: "What I tell you! So happy!" in my ear and I blush a little. David didn't see, for that, I was thankful!
