Poisonous Love

Chapter 8: The News (VINNIE'S PERSPECTIVE)

It had been four days since Hallee went missing, and I had been spending a lot of time with Victor. I had asked to hang out at his house, but apparently his parents would always argue, so we hung out at my house, luckly, my mum works double shifts, or else she would never let me have a boy in the house.

I was hanging out with Victor, and I got a call from the officer I spoke to after Hallee dissapeared, I answered the phone, full of hope,

"Hello?"

"Is this Vinnie Greene?"

"Yeah! Thats me"

"We would like you to come to the staition, the local news would like you to take part in a interview, help promote the search"

"Umm, yeah sure, when will you need me?"

"Tomorow at 9am, don't be late"

"Oka-"

They hung up the phone. Confused, I turned to face Victor

"How am I suposed to do this? Its only been a couple of days!"

"I know, I know, but this will help find her"

"But it's so insensitive!"

I huged him, this is all I had been doing, talking, someone bringing Hallee up, and me crying into Victors shoulder. He was really sympathetic, and being in his presence seemed to numb the pain.

I just sat there, for what felt like hours, Victor tapped my shoulder

"Hey, your moms going to be home soon, I need to go home"

"Oh, ok, I guess I'll see you tomorow then"

"Bye"

As he got up, my mom walked in the front door

"Crap, get in my closet, quick!"

He opened my closet door, stood inside and slid the door shut, just as my mom opened my bedroom door

"Oh hey mom, I thought you had another double shift tonight?"

"I did, but we haven't spent enough time together, you okay?"

"Um, as good as you can be when your girlfriend is missing"

"I know, what were you doing?"

"Oh I was just texting Nan"

"Ok dear, foods at five okay"

"Ok mom"

As soon as she left, Victor came out of the closet

"That was a close one, how are you gonna leave?"

"I can stay until she goes to bed, if that's okay with you"

"Yeah sure"

A few hours later, mom made dinner, I ate quickly so I could get back to Victor.

"Hey" I wispered, "You can get out of the closet now"

"Final-"

"Shh!"

"Oh sorry!"

We sat on my bed and talked, about anything and everything

"Hey Vinnie, can we talk?"

"Um sure"

"The first time I saw you, in that forest, I was shocked, by your beauty. This reletionship didn't start in the best way, but I think we can make a good situation out of a bad one, would you be my girlfriend?"

I didn't answer for a second, I'm gay for crying out loud, but I needed him, I pulled his face towards me, and pulled my lips to his. When I started kissing him, I could tell he was shocked, but after a second, he kissed me back. We kissed for what felt like hours, After a bit, we stoped, and he cuddled me to sleep.
