After Void 2

Chapter 12

"I love you!" He says. I look up at him. Into his beautiful eyes. I smile and hug him. The door opens.

"Bethany McCall! We are going to have to ask you some questions!" A voice says. I turn to see a cop.

"Fuck off! Im tired!" I groan. Brett laughs.

"Ill see you later?" He asks.

"Yeah sure!" I smile he walks out. I sit on my bed.

"What happened to you?" He asks.

"I dont know. It was to dark. I couldnt see anything. I felt a sharp sting in my stomach and i passed out from the pain. When i woke up i stumbled into town where my friend saw me and rushed me here!" I lie. Everything i just said was a lie.

"What do you intend to do with your injury?" He asks and looks at my face.

"I intend to leave it here. I can get better. I am not one but interested in finding who or what did this to me!" I say.

"Okay. So would you like to drop by the station-" he starts.

"Nope!" I say. He smiles.

"One last thing. What got injured again?" He asks. I lift my hoodie up slightly to show the bloody bandages. He nods and leaves. I go to leave but my mom shoves me back into the room.

"Where have you been? What happend?" She asks.

"I have been living in my den and i helped save everyone." I say.

"Your father has been worried sick!" She says.

"Where is he?" I ask.

"Asleep on the seat outside. He hasnt left. He took the day off of work to be here!" She sighs. She isnt lieing.

"Really?" I ask. She nods. I smile and walk out into the hallway. I sit down beside my dad and lean my head against his shoulder. I shut my eyes and smile.

"Beth?" My mom whispers.

"Shhh!" I say and open my eyes. "Dont wake him up!" My mother smiles and walks away. I fall asleep beside him and when i wake up he is whispering to someone. I shift slightly in my seat and he holds his breath. I sit up and rub my eyes.

"Hi dad!" I say in a raspy voice.

"Hi sweety!" He whispers. I stand to my feet.

"Take me home?" I ask and he smiles. He stands to his feet and we walk out to his car. He drives back to moms house and i smile. I hop out.

"Ill see you tomorrow!" I say and start walking home.

"Where are you going?" He asks.

"To my den!" I shrug.

"What?" He asks.

"After i died and came back i found myself a place where i could stay. Its safe enough and no one can find me in it so its cool!" I say.

"Ill walk you there!" He says.

"Okay!" I shrug and he follows me as i walk into the woods. I show him my den and he crawls in without my permission. I stand there in shock. He crawls out afew seconds later.

"Dad." I say.

"What?" He asks.

"You- you- you-" i say and point to the den.

"Oh shit." He says.

"Im going to have to buy an apartment anyways!" I sigh. "I cant live in a hole forever!"
