Chapter 21

Moira's POV

I don't think I wanna live anymore. Where's Vince? I need his support. Maybe he's in the station. Wait, is that him? He came to take me up from here? Oh Vince, you're always by my side when I need help.
"Hey, Moira. Do you need ice cream and tissues?" I thing a hug's gonna be enough. Long, warm hug.
"Leave them for someone else. I'm fine."
"Fine? Okay detective Adams. But I don't think you can deal with your demons if you're trying to pretend you're okay." Maybe Nikki was right. I'm making things worse by myself, are I?
"When are we going on vacation? I can't stand this town."
"Tomorrow. I hope you and Stacey have prepared your luggage."
"Yes, we have."

Evening came so fast. Now me and Stacey are preparing some stuff for tomorrow. Oh God, I really love my Stacey. I was so busy lately I couldn't have my time talking with her about her life and stuff. Is she having a boyfriend? Did she find a job? How is she now? I wanna talk with her.
"Stacey, let's talk for a minute."
"Okay."
"So, how's life?"
"Well, I'm gonna be fashion designer after the vacation." I'm gonna be main detective after the vacation, I almost forgot that.
"Oh wow, I'm so happy for you. What about relationship?"
"There's that guy who used to be my classmate. His name is Tommy and he's having several jobs." Tommy... Tommy Leopold? NIKKI'S LAWYER?
"Wait, I think I know him. Is he a lawyer?"
"Yes, he is. Oh, I forgot that as a detective you have to visit some cases in court and..."
"Yeah, mainly those cases I have solved."

"Hey, what happened with that big case? Who was that guy who murdered women?" Oh God, give me strength.
"Well, he's in jail. At last. But..."
"But?" I wanna share with her everything goddamn it. She's my sister.
"Do you remember that guy we met when you were ten and we were at a restaurant with mom and dad?"
"The guy you dumped out because you suspected him? Nate or something like that."
"Well, I was right to suspect him. His real name is..."
"NO WAY, THAT'S HIM?"
"Wow, don't scare me like that. I almost got a heart attack."
"MOIRA, THIS IS SERIOUS. I remember you used to think about him A LOT after that dinner. No, don't tell me you still love him." I WISH I COULD STOP, STACEY. I REALLY DO.
"Oh come on, I was young and dumb."
"You're lying to me. I know. You love him, don't you?" I think I need a tissue.
"Unfortunately..."
"Oh Moira. My big sister, come here." Oh, Stacey. I can't imagine my world without you. You know me so well. As well as Vince... and Nikki. Oh God, Nikki knows me too.

"I'm sorry Stacey."
"No, please don't. You wanna know something? Even I found him attractive when he had come to that restaurant. Let's talk about him, shall we?" Oh God, please don't.
"Please don't..."
"Come ooon. Now, tell me. His name is Nikki Sixx, right?" I hate names with the N.
"Yeah."
"So, how does he look like now?"
"Well, he's tall. He has black hair with a blonde lock on the right. His arms are all covered in tattoos-"
"TATTOOS??? Oh wow. Probably he's physically strong in the arms, isn't he?" Stacey, what the hell!
"Don't fall for him please. He murders women. No wonder if he tries to kill me." He already did though.
"Nah, he can't do that. Tell me, have you ever kissed him?" STACEY, STOP IT.
"Last week I visited him. I had to tell him about my feelings and..."
"AAAND???"
"He started playing a roleplay. He pretended he's the judge and sentenced me."
"Let me guess. Thirty seconds into his strong tattooed arms..."
"Stacey, how the fuck you guessed?"
"I just know. And when he hugged you, he kissed you?" I still remember how breathless I was after that kiss. It's like I almost died.
"Yes, he did. But today I visited him again. I said that we're not meant to be and... stuff happened."
"What the fuck, Moira? Why you had to do that?"
"I can't concentrate because of him. He's always on my mind and I can't do my job."
"Oh, he must be really handsome, huh?" Unfortunately.

"I want to forget him, Stacey. I really do."
"I know. You tried all these years and now it's even harder. But what about Vince? He's one of the sweetest guys in the universe. I think he likes you. He really sticks to you." Oh damn, I forgot that I kissed him once.
"Vince is not like that. I feel him as a brother. I can't be with him."
"Damn it. Well, we're gonna be on vacation so..."
"Yeah, let's go to bed." If I could fall asleep just for a goddamn night. There are so many things to think about.
