After Eric was determined to be dead and the dust on the Thanksgiving situation settled, Jessica decided she needed to leave town for a bit to clear her head. As it would happen, Gabby and Scuba were also looking for a bit of an escape. Plymouth just made them all a bit jumpy after the whole half of our friend group was murdered in front of us incident.
So, they went on a road trip, just to the next town over for a few days, to clear their heads.
It was actually great. Sure, they all still had nightmares, but they weren't nearly as hard to calm down from afterward because they knew that they were safely out of Plymouth. The town they were in didn't have the burdens of the Black Friday Massacre or 'John Carver'. It was just a normal town with normal problems.
"This is great" Gabby said one afternoon as the three sat around their hotel room, resting.
"Yeah" Scuba sighed. "I just wish Yulia could be here"
"Or Evan" Gabby agreed. Jessica frowned. She felt a little bit guilty, being the one whose partner hadn't been killed right in front of her (or at all, for that matter. Ryan was still fine and unscathed in his home back in Plymouth). She didn't say anything about it.
"Still..." Scuba spoke up. "This is nice. I've been feeling way less fucked up since we left town"
"That town is cursed" Jessica said. The other two teenagers nodded in agreement.
"At least we're graduating soon enough" Gabby said. "Then we can leave that shithole for good"
"Amen"
