Enduring Fate (completed)

Does Truth Matter Over Choices?

Jane dresses up in a black dress, a short frock style, let her hair loose and wears black heels .

She looks stunning.

She goes to 16th Broadway. Jane walks in a large restaurant there and sees Thomas dressed in black pants, black v -neck t-shirt and a vest sitting at a table; waiting for her.

Thomas stands up seeing her.

thank you for coming Jane.

I needed to talk.

you look beautiful.

She remains quite and swallows hard.

Thomas pulls a chair for Jane, they both seat up.

They both stay quite.

Few minutes later a waiter pours wine in their glass.

Jane picks up the glass and sips the wine. She looks at him. He gets up and places his chair beside Jane's and sits on it. He is nervous,

I was sixteen when my mom was murdered in an alley. Someone slit open her throat, it happened while she was waiting for me at dinner for my birthday in a restaurant. That day pretty much changed me.

I am so sorry Thomas.

I started looking for leads for her killer. A friend of mine was a computer genius. I took his help. His father was in the FBI, he helped me too. Three years passed by and then we found a lead, a strong one. The lead linked here in New York, that is why we moved here, so did my father. My father was not aware of what was I doing. I was supposed to finish my high school, graduate and then keep working on my mom's murder, but then I met you and fell for you, Jane. We found out who the killer was. He was powerful, someone we cannot stand against. The prom night while I was here, we were exposed. I received a text with pictures of my mom's bloody body with a warning for me to stop. I had to go settle things. I realized who we were up against. I stopped.

Thomas eyes get teary. Jane reaches his hand and grabs it.

I am so sorry Thomas I didn't know,

Off Coarse You didn't, and that's why Jane I had to leave knowing that being with you would expose you too. they are strong... dangerous people.

...

Four years I tried covering my tracks, undoing the damage I did, finding myself some another base, so I could be get a chance to explain myself to you.

Oh my god I am so sorry Thomas, gosh I am so stupid obsessing over that stupid prom, I am so sorry

No, no, no Jane the way I left you was wrong, it was not right I am sorry, it's not your fault okay?

Thomas looks down, fighting so hard to fight back the flood of tears behind his eyes.

I felt for you too Thomas, I loved... love you

She leans forward, holds his chin and brings his face closer to hers. She kisses him on the lips slowly, Thomas kisses back

(Whispers) thank you for telling me the truth, Thomas.

She gets up and leaves.
