She stared down at me an I stared up at her.

"L-Laura! What're you doing here?" I spoke in a higher tone voice than usual.

Terrence's body is still twitching very slightly, but he's dead for sure.

"What.. have you done..?" She choked out.

"L-Look, I can explain! Ray told me about what happened and I shouldn't be telling you this because she doesn't want you to be mad at he-" I quickly babbled as I stood up.

But she quickly interrupted me by giving me a tight hug. I was shocked that she did that. I dropped the knife as it clattered onto the ground. She started sobbing quietly.

"..Thank you..." She whispered.

She continued to quietly sob on my shoulder as I hugged her back. But then I remembered that I am covered in blood. When she pulled away and wiped her face, she realized the same and sighed.

"You know I saw you walk up here." She said.

"I was literally fearing for your life when I saw you do that and you know exactly why." She sighed.

"I told my mum that I had forgotten something from here so that I could stop you. Stop him. And even though you broke the promise we made half an hour ago, you did what I had wished for for the past 3 months." She added.

"I can finally sleep peacefully..." She said.

After her glorious speech, she realized that I was nearly crying.

"Trish?" She raised an eyebrow.

"That was beautiful.." I sniffed with a tissue in hand.

Laura smiled.

"Come here, you silly bitch." She sighed once more and hugged me again.

We pulled away from one another and giggled. But enough of that it's time to think of his corpse.

"So.. uh.. what are we supposed to do with it?" Laura asked.

"I'm taking the knife back home. I can replace it with a knife from your kitchen so that it doesn't have any of my fingerprints on it." I offered.

"How-"

I snapped my fingers and teleported a knife into his hand obove his head. I then continued to take off my sweater, revealing a black tank top with a tight turtle neck and pressing out the blood above it gracefully so that it looked like it was used.

"You really are a silly bitch.." She said speechlessly.

"Oh shut up! He's under the influence of drugs because he overdosed cough syrup like a duche. This can easily slide as a suicide." I said.

Laura snorted.

"You're quite right. If you want, I can wash your clothes along with mine in the washer. I can bring them to school tomorrow." She offered.

"If it won't ruin my white sweater more than it already is, then sure." I agreed.

We shook hands like partners in crime and went to Laura's room. Laura gave me some spare clothes and tossed the dirty ones along with hers into the washing machine. Lucky for her, she has a spare uniform that looks identical to the bloody one and put it on.

I teleported back downstairs behind the pillar and took a seat on a bench. Laura came back downstairs a minute later normaly. She used the excuse that 'her brother caused her trouble' for when her mom asked her why she was taking so long.

Soon enough, the first part of the ceremony ended and everyone was just having a good time. There's food, non alcoholic drinks, music, just everything you need! People were dancing and laughing. Religions on earth could never! Even Laura and I were dancing together like it was the golden 20s again.

After a while, her father held his last speech of the day to complete the party and we all applauded. After it was over, I took Laura down to the basement while no one was looking. We're standing in front of the warp pad now.

"So.. see you tomorrow?" I asked.

"I'm not sure.. I'll think about it." She said.

"It's ok if you won't be back tomorrow yet. A lot has happened to you and I wish you all the best." I said to her.

"I just hope I won't need therapy to move on.. I can't afford that." She said.

"Don't worry, me and Ray will always be there for you when you need someone. Just text or call at anytime." I reassured her.

I opened my arms for a hug. I'm not sure if she wants to be touched and I'll respect that. She sighed with a smile and gave me a hug. I was so happy. We pulled away again and I stepped onto the warp pad and waved a silly goodbye. She chuckled.

"See you around you silly bitch." She waved back.
