Bright Lights Chapter 10 [Small Spaces Sequel]
Title: Bright Lights Chapter 10 [Small Spaces Sequel]
Synopsis: Ollie asks for help from the only people in the world who can understand her.
Word count: 2116
notes: we're baaaaaaaaack!!
AO3 CHAPTER LINK
Ollie had never quite believed in the notion of people being angels sent from heaven, but she really had to wonder if Miranda perhaps had wings underneath her scrubs that had so far stayed hidden. Because Miranda did not sigh or frown or look put-out when Ollie asked if she could stay for a few more hours.
Instead, she’d put her hand on Olivia’s shoulder and said, “Take as long as you need. I don’t have any other patients to see today. I had a feeling this might be an all-day thing.”
Her dad had just fallen asleep when she finally left the Egg to meet up with Coco and Brian. Ollie had been tempted to wake him; she wanted to ask about the watch and the book. But he looked peaceful, and Ollie knew how rare that could be with him. So she kissed his forehead and let him sleep, and tried to ignore the knot in her stomach that only grew as she stepped out of the house and got back into her car.
The school still hadn’t called.
They didn’t call while Ollie was driving, nor did they call when she pulled into the parking lot of a local coffee shop, where she spotted Coco and Brian standing outside of their family van.
Coco was still talking on the phone when Ollie got out and approached them. It was Brian’s mother and father on the phone. They were semi-retired, and Brian often sighed over the pressure to take over the ski lodge when they decided to move into full retirement.
It wasn’t just the pressure, though, of how he’d manage a ski lodge and his sports camp. While he’d gone back to enjoying the slopes less than 2 years after the Hemlock Lodge horrors, Ollie knew they still sometimes gave him the creeps. They gave her the creeps, too.
In the background of the call, Ollie heard James and Charlotte trying to pipe in with questions for their parents.
“How long are you going to be gone?” asked James. “Why did you pull us out of school? Am I going to have to make up for my science test?”
And then Charlotte spoke up, her voice high and clear on the speaker. “Is this about that man you and dad were talking about? Is Sam in trouble? Can we help?”
Ollie’s breath caught in her throat and she threw a furious look at Brian and Coco. Her lips mouthed the disbelieving words: “You told them?”
Coco’s brows pinched together and she looked ready to say something, but Brian shook his head and pulled Ollie aside.
“No, of course we didn’t. They overheard us mention “him” the other day when you called about coming over.”
Olile felt guilt settle hard in her stomach. “Sorry,” she said. “I’m just–”
“Frazzled, I know,” Brian said. He didn’t look mad, just worried, which made Ollie feel better. “It’s fine. Let’s just figure out what’s going on with Sam, okay?”
Coco finished the call and then immediately called another number as they walked into the coffee shop. Brian ordered for them, so that Ollie and Coco could get set up in the corner booth away from anyone else.
Coco’s phone was set against the wall, and a tired, anxious looking Phil was square in the center of it. Even on the small screen, Ollie could see him biting back a thousand questions.
Brian came back with coffee and sandwiches, although Ollie knew she probably wouldn’t be able to touch the food. Not when her stomach hurt so much. Not when she kept thinking about the smiling man.
“All right, Owl,” Brian said, taking a sip of his coffee. “Fill us in and we’ll go from there.”
Ollie’s throat felt tight. She swallowed against it and stared at her coffee cup. Could she be wrong? Was this stupid?
Coco took her hand and squeezed it. Ollie bit her cheek hard, fighting against tears. Why was Coco so good at making people feel better? Ollie couldn’t even get her own daughter to stop hating her.
Coco gave another squeeze and Ollie took a deep breath.
“Okay. Here goes…”
She told them everything–no. Not everything. She told them about Sam. About not letting her go to the circus, about her being upset about never getting to stay out on her own or go on most field trips.. Coco and Brian already knew all of this, but Phil didn’t. It wasn’t something she felt like texting to him, exactly. Ollie tried not to feel hurt by the way his frown deepened. She wondered if he thought she was a bad mom. Too over-protective.
And then she got to the events of this morning. Sam forged her signature. Her dad was acting strange. Her mom’s watch–gone. The Small Spaces book, written and published by one Beth Webster and used to save their lives the first time they fell into the smiling man’s clutches–missing.
“The school said they would call when they got hold of her teacher, but it’s been a while.” Ollie’s hand curled around her untouched coffee mug. The hot ceramic was comforting. Distracting.
“He probably can’t hear his phone very well in a circus,” offered Phil. Ollie glanced at Coco’s phone. “I know I can barely hear mine if I’m outside. I miss a lot of work calls.” He gave a shaky laugh, and Ollie returned it with a tight smile.
“Yeah,” she said, weakly. She wanted to believe it. What was more likely: that the teacher was having a hard time hearing his phone in a loud circus, or the teacher had been… what? Absconded by the smiling man behind the mist already?
“Maybe–” Coco began, but Ollie’s phone rang, and she almost knocked over her coffee mug to pick it up and answer it.
Coco, Brian and Phil were completely silent. It made Ollie’s stomach hurt more. She put the phone on speaker so that she wouldn’t have to repeat the conversation to her friends. It was hard enough recounting everything that had happened with Sam.
“Hello?”
“Ollie, dear?” Mrs. Phelps’ voice was as kind as ever. Ollie clung to that kindness as she waited for news. “I’ve gotten hold of Mr. Wheeling, and let him know what was going on. Oh, he sounded very upset. They’re about to go on with the big show. But he said that he would pull Sam aside before it starts and keep her with him, and he’ll call you as soon as the bus gets back.” Mrs. Phelps sighed. “Sam is such a sweet girl, I can’t imagine why she would do something like this.”
Ollie felt relief lift her shoulders–at least nothing had happened yet–but there was still that underlying fear. It made her voice shake when she spoke.
“I think she’s just stressed, Mrs. Phelps. With everything going on at home.”
Ollie felt like she could see Mrs. Phelps’ expression over the phone, and a sudden, awful nostalgia came washing over her. Sympathy face. Mrs. Phelps would be making sympathy face; that horrible, pitying, pinched look that had made Ollie so furiously helpless as a kid.
“Of course, dear. Well, please let me know if you need anything else.”
Ollie thanked Mrs. Phelps and set her phone back down on the table.
No one said anything for a moment.
“So, she’s with a teacher,” said Phil. “Or she will be in a few minutes. Shouldn’t you look a little more relieved?”
Ollie’s hand went back around the mug. It felt lukewarm now.
“If this is what we think it is…” she began.
“What it could possibly be, but isn’t for sure,” corrected Brian.
Ollie looked at him but said nothing.
“Then it doesn’t matter if there’s an adult, does there? It didn’t matter with us.” She thought about Mr. Easton and his awful, confused face when he turned back into a human. She thought about her dad and Coco’s mom and the owners of Hemlock Lodge, thrust under the smiling man’s whims. She thought about Phil’s uncle, and blood in the water. She thought about her dad. And the clowns. And the dolls.
With the sullen, pinched expressions of Coco, Brian and Phil, Ollie realized that they were all thinking about those things, too.
“No,” Phil said, his voice choking a little. “An adult being there doesn’t mean it’s safe. You’re right.”
Brian looked like he wanted to reach through the phone and hug Phil. But no one said anything about it–about Phil’s uncle, or any of the other horrors that they’d experienced.
Sometimes you didn’t need to say anything out loud in order to know everyone in the room understood it.
Ollie finally took a sip of her coffee. Although it wasn’t piping hot anymore, it was made just how she liked it. She glanced at Brian and wondered when exactly he’d learned her favorite coffee order. Then she remembered how many times he went on coffee runs when her dad was in the hospital.
“Would it be crazy,” Ollie said slowly, “to drive up to the fairgrounds and wait in my car, instead of waiting for the bus to get back?”
Coco and Brian looked at each other. Whatever they said, they said with their glances. Sometimes, Ollie wished she could reach between them and pull out their silent conversations and hold them to her chest.
“I don’t think it’s crazy.”
It was Phil who spoke.
Phil shrugged, a tiny gesture on the small screen.
“Listen, Ollie. Trust your gut. It got you–” He shook his head. “It got all of us through everything before, right?”
Ollie nodded. “I guess.”
Phil held up his hands. “If this is the smiling man, then you’ll be ready to take him on. If it’s not and you’re crazy, well, you’ll just be Sam’s overprotective mom who caught her forging a signature and you can cross that bridge when you come to it. Either way… you’ll be ready.”
“Damn, Phil. When you’d get so smart?” There was an edge of pride in Brian’s voice.
Phil chuckled, a short breathy laugh. “Oh, about a week ago. You must have missed it.”
Even Ollie cracked a smile.
“Ollie,” Phil said, suddenly sounding serious. “I have to get back to work. But listen. Tell me if you need me to come. You know I will.”
Ollie shook her head. “I know. Thank you. For now, though, please don’t worry about it.” The image of the empty space where her mom’s watch should have been came to mind, and she continued. “Just maybe… be on standby, okay?”
When Phil hung up, the three of them were quiet. Ollie drank more of her coffee and checked her phone to see if Miranda had texted. Or if Sam had answered any of her text messages–but Ollie realized, with a grimace, that none of the texts she’d sent to Sam had gone through.
There probably won’t be many bars at the fairgrounds, she thought. At the same time, the other possibility whispered in her ear. You know technology doesn’t work around him.
She couldn’t wait for the bus to get back to the school. Phil was right. She had to trust her gut. In the worst case scenario, she’d be ready. In the best case scenario, she’d have yet another thing to work out with Sam.
Her voice was quiet and tired when she finally spoke.
“Will you guys come with me?”
Coco stared at her like she had three heads.
“Do you seriously need to ask that?”
Ollie looked across the booth at Coco.
Coco, who had just been some irritating new kid when the smiling man had first come. Ollie hadn’t even liked her, not really. But now Coco was her sister in every way possible. They’d grown so close over the years, she sometimes forgot that they weren’t really related.
And Brian, who wasn’t just her brother-in-law, but one of her best friends. He knew her inside and out. He and Coco–and Phil, in his own way–were all there for her when she needed them. And she was there for him, as much as she could be, even if over the last few years she’d felt stretched too thin, like paper about to rip.
Ollie put her hand in the center of the table. It was silly, she thought. Something you did when you were little and played in the woods and made secret clubs and pacts. Something you did when you were young enough to cut your palms and mix the blood together.
But Coco put her hand on top of Ollie’s, and so did Brian.
“Together,” Coco said.
“Together,” said Brian.
“Together,” whispered Ollie.
