We entered Theo's shop. Jack stepped in after me carrying the box full of heirlooms. "Ugh, that thing gives me the heebie-jeebies." He set the box on the table and wiped his hands on his jeans. Theo took the box and went to the back of the shop and set the box on the cement ground. He walked back inside and brought out a tank of gasoline, matches, and a smaller glass bottle with a blue liquid inside. "Lucky for you guys, turns out, I have just been certified to the position therapeutic angel! Can you believe that?! I've been certified as a "angel" but I'm a therapist! Which gives me the authority to end your case, so," He took the top off the small bottle. "You guys ready to end this?" Theo looked at Jack and I. We both nodded. He grabbed the small glass bottle and poured the blue liquid all over the heirlooms. He then poured the tank of gasoline all over it. "Carlie, I leave the rest to you." Theo handed me the matches. I swiped the match and watched the spark turn into a flame. "Here goes nothing.." I dropped the flame onto the heirlooms. "Thats for trying to get my girlfriend killed, bitch!" Jack spat into the wild flame. Suddenly a loud screech came to my ears and my neck started burning. "ow fuck!" I stumbled backwards tripping over the step to Theo's shop. "Carls, are you okay?" Jack kneeled taking me into his arms. The screeching settled and it felt like 500 pounds were taken off my shoulder. My chest felt light. I sighed "I am now.."-
"You ready?" Jack said parking a block away from my house. "So ready." Jack took my bag out of the trunk and stood in front of me. His 6'2 image hovered over my 5'5 height. "This isn't goodbye, meet me at the abandoned train station on Friday night." I nodded. "Well goodbye for now." I wrapped my arms around his neck and tippy toed to peck his lips. "I don't want to let you go." He said picking me up in a tight hug. I giggled as he set me down. "Alright see you soon white girl." He pointed two fingers to his forehead and chucked up the deuces. I waved walking towards my house. God has it been this long? The yellow paint of my house started chipping and the front porch looked old. I missed this place. I opened the door slowly. "Daddy?" I saw him looking down at a portrait with a beer in the other hand. "Carlie?" He stood up and raced towards me bringing me into a huge hug. "My baby girl I missed you so much. I was so fricken worried!" He put his hands on my cheeks and kissed my head repeatedly bringing me into his chest. He started crying. "I missed you too dad." I inhaled his scent. I missed him so much. He backed away. "Mind telling me where you were, now that I see your bag?" He scowled wiping his tears. "Hehe, well, A friend decided to take me all around the United States and you wouldn't let me go so I decided to escape." He rolled his eyes. "What the hell is wrong with you? Don't ever do that shit to me again. I would ground you if I didn't miss you so damn much." He hugged me again. "God, I hate when you do this type of shit to me.."
