At all Costs

Dixie's POV: 

I woke up this morning feeling better than I've ever felt in the last 10 years. I didn't have a panic attack last night and I was overjoyed. It may seem dumb but to me it was a light at the end of my dark tunnel. It felt as if I had conquered the world and it honestly was the best thing that had happened to me. 

I skipped to the bathroom and took a shower then I did my skincare which I hadn't done in ages, I also put some makeup on before changing into a white crop top and shorts. I know it seems lousy, but I had been wearing nothing but hoodies and sweatpants since the death of my parents and it felt amazing dressing up properly. I decided to actually have breakfast today, so I went to Starbucks next, this was my self-care day I was going to give life another chance.

I had woken up early today, so I had plenty of time to make myself happy. I sat down at an empty table with my cake pop and iced coffee and thought about how I could change my life for the better, I really wanted to do this, I really needed to do this.

Noah's POV: 

I had woken up early as I had planned. I quickly got ready; I had no time I needed to finish my research before my dad woke up. I was really desperate and honestly, I didn't think I could do this, but I knew deep inside that I had to. I had to do it for me, for her. 

I crept over to my dad's home office and went through some files. I did some digging and found one labelled ''2010'' I didn't know much about my dad's job in 2010 but I did know that he killed a large number of people during that time period, he was also quite powerful back then. I knew I didn't have much time until he woke up, so I decided to go for it. I went through half of it, and I was losing hope, but the next page was ''D'Amelio'' my heart was beating faster and faster every passing second. I took photos of those pages and put the file back.

On my way to school, I was reading those pages off of my phone. I felt proud of myself today, after so many years I felt like I had done something for someone else. I didn't feel like a complete looser. 

I just hope this girl gives me a chance. I wanted to prove to someone, anyone that I was more than just a scary looking, quiet, soccer boy. I had a heart. I wanted to make sure that girl was safe I didn't care if it would cost me my life, I needed to protect her. At all Costs.

I think I know why she was so scared of me the other day; she knew what had happened, I wanted to tell her the full story. I wanted to help her as much as I could. I wanted to bring her closure. I wanted to answer all her questions. I wanted to be the one who helps her even if it was my dad's fault.

Hi!

I wanted to make this chapter longer, but it would've just ended up being really weird if I tried to drag it on so it's pretty short. Only 11 days until school starts again.
