Chapter 15: The Criminal

[ destiny's point of view ]

"Why don't we do something to cheer you up?" Thomas suggests, giving me a weak smile which till brightened me up.

"Like what?" I ask, sniffing a bit, wiping he tears from my dry eyes.

"Um... watch a movie?"

"I've already watched too much movies in my whole entire lifetime, honestly." I say.

"Why don't we go get ice cream?"

"At twelve in the morning?" I chuckle, my heart still heavy. He nodded and I smiled at him, which was halfway genuine.

"What's better than getting ice cream at midnight to cheer you up?" He smiled.

Obliviously to me, a tear rolls down my cheek and Thomas wipes it off with his thumb.

I give him a small smile and he leans in. His lips touch mine, moving in sync. I move my arms so they could go around his neck. His arms snake it's way down to my waist.

After about a minute, he pulls away. He smiles and says,"Come on. Let's go."

He grabs my hand and pulls me outside. He closes the door and we decide to walk. "So.."

"So.." The silence that was brought upon us somehow made me even more sad than I was at the moment. I'm going to miss you, dad.

We walk in silence until he says,"So.. the school dance is coming up soon."

I look at him and slowly nod, not knowing what to say. "I was wondering.. maybe you would like to go with me?"

I don't answer as I was slowly processing everything happening tonight. "You don't have to. I mean if you don't want to."

I look up at him and say,"No.. I want to."

He looks up at me and breaks into a big smile. He stops and hugs me. I heard him mumble something but didn't know exactly what.

He pulls away and we start to walk again. We turn a corner, where the ice cream parlor was at. We enter the building and wait.

An employee notices us and welcomes us. She yawned and asked us what we wanted. "May I have chocolate in cone?"

"Sure. Waffle or sugar?"

"Waffle." I answered, sighing as I stared off into space. She goes and gets my ice-cream.

She comes back and gives me my ice-cream, smiling as she noticed my red puffy eyes which still didn't fade away. "Thank you."

Thomas orders his and thanked the employee as she gave him his ice cream, noticing that she was tired as she kept yawning and her eyes were heavy, and drooping. After, we left and headed back to my place.

I was done with my ice cream when we got back so I threw what was left into the trash, and so did Thomas.

"I'll see you, later." I say and Thomas waves me goodbye as I closed the door.

I head to my bedroom and turned on the tv. It was on the news channel. "The killer is on the loose and was last-spotted in Coverham Dr. at 6:21pm." The reporter said and I jumped.
