An Angel's Redemption

Leaving

~ Pat-Car/Patrick's POV ~

' Allison, there's something I want to tell you. ' I said, eyeing Thomas, Nicole and Hayden before I looked at Allison.
' What is it? ' She said, looking at me with much curiosity.
' I-I have decided to stay at the Vatican until my last trial...this Friday. '
' I thought it was today? '
' It has been moved to Friday since you fainted yesterday. The Pope requests that you would be there. '
' Oh... ' She said, looking down.
' You can still visit me, though. I-I just don't want you nor everyone else to get involved in this anymore. '
' Okay. Uh...thank you? '
' No. Thank you. ' I said, hugging her.
Everyone joined in for a group hug.
' Hahaha! ' We all laughed.
' We'll visit you everyday, Carlo. ' Thomas said, breaking the laughter.
' Hahaha. I'll miss you guys. Two days is too long. ' I said, trying not to laugh.

We all sat down and ate the pizzas that Thomas' ordered once Allison woke up.
' How was the trial yesterday? Sorry I couldn't be there. '
' It's fine. Still guilty, ' I sighed. ' The Pope will decide what is to happen to me. It will be announced this Friday. '
' Oh. I hope what he decides won't make you suffer. '
' I hope so too. '

~~~~ ( Day of moving to Vatican ) ~~~~

   I looked at her. She was trying to fight back her emotions. I'm sorry but I have to do this, Pip. It's for the best...
   It was a Wednesday morning, 7.54 AM. I sighed.
    ' Remember to go to the library later, after your trial. ' She said, avoiding eye contact.
   ' Oh...right. Forgot about that. Allison, are...you mad? '
   ' Not at all. '
   ' Alright. Okay, I know you're not happy with this and I'm sorry. It's for- '
   ' It's for the best. I know. I'm not mad, okay? ' She said, cutting me off.

   I knew she was unhappy. It was written all over her face. Her facial expression stood out. Her hand placed on her forehead as she sighed.
   ' Allison, be honest with me. '
   There was silence. She went up to Obi and patted her head. No answer came out of her mouth.
   ' Allison, talk to me... ' I said as I followed her wherever she went.
   ' Allison, I am- '
   ' Stop following me. ' She said, still avoiding eye contact. Tears trickled down her face and she quickly wiped them away.
   As she turned away, I grabbed her arm and stopped her.
   ' Allison, why are you angry? '
   Silence, once again.
   ' Allison, seriously. Why? '
   ' I-I'm not angry, okay?! I'm just...sad that you're leaving. '
   ' Don't be sad. You can still visit me remember? I just don't want to stay here because the media would find out that I stayed here with you. '
   ' I understand. ' She said, calming herself down.
   I pulled her in for a hug. I felt something scratch my leg. It was Obi.
   ' Wanna join in, Obi? '
   Obi barked.
   Allison and I laughed and we had a group hug with Obi. I'm gonna miss the both of you. My second family. Nicole and Thomas are missing though...
 
    ~ Pip/Allison's POV ~

    ' Don't forget about me, okay, Obi? Allison, why are you crying? Are you the cry baby now? ' Carlo said, trying not to laugh.
    Obi barked and moved away, revealing the tears on my face.
   ' Allison, ' Carlo said, hugging me one more time and wiped my tears away. ' We have to go, okay? Stop crying, Allison. Let's go. '
  
    Carlo picked up his bag and motioned for the door. He wore his shoes and before he held the doorknob, he turned around and looked at me in the eyes.

   ~ Pat-Car/Carlo's POV ~

  ' Carlo. ' Her voice echoed through the silent hallway. I turned to her with a sigh. I did not want to step out of the door and not return for maybe a few years due to his punishment. I would miss Obi, the comfort of my room...and most importantly, I would miss Pip.

  ' Allison, ' I took steps closer to her. ' You take care of Obi, okay? And of course, you take care of yourself too. '
  ' Of course, Carlo, ' She smiled. ' You enjoy your time in the Vatican before your final trial, okay? ' She beamed.
   I touched her delicate face as she clutched my wrist.
  ' Gonna miss you and Obi...so, so much. '
  ' Same goes for me. ' She smiled.
  Obi barked.
  I took a peek at Obi and smiled.
   ' Come here, Obi. ' I exclaimed.
   I wrapped the both of them in a hug, once again. Tears started to trickle down my face at the thought of having to leave them. If I would be excommunicated, it would be much longer than two days.
  If two days is too much, then I don't know what would happen to me when I get excommunicated. Well if I do get excommunicated...I don't know. All I know is that I'm gonna miss them so much. I sighed and hid my face into Pip's neck.
   ' Hey! You said that there should be no more tears! How come you're crying? ' Allison said, trying not to laugh and fought back her tears.
   ' I'm sorry. It could not be stopped. Haha. ' I laughed.
   We pulled away from the hug and I turned to face, Obi.
   ' Be a good girl, okay? I'll be back. I'll miss you, Obi. ' I said, wiping my tears away. I patted her head.
   Obi barked and jumped.
   ' Go now, Carlo. Before the world finds you here. Wherever you go, I'll be there in more ways that you can ever imagine. Be strong. I lo--- I'll miss you. '
   I knew what she was about to say but I decided to play it cool. I knew it wasn't the right time to say it too.
   ' I'll come back, I promise...but I can't guarantee that I'll be back at a normal hour. ' I said, taking her into an embrace, once more. She smiled with a rare smile on her face. My face became as bright as the Sun, my smile heart-melting. I kissed her forehead and pulled away.
   ' Be strong, Carlo. See you soon! ' She shouted as I exited the house. Obi stood next to her, barking so loudly.
   ' Obi says she'll miss you too! ' She added.
   ' See you tomorrow! Haha. '  She continued.
    ' See you soon, Pip! ' I could hear her voice shaking but she tried very hard to appear happy. I tried so too but as soon as I walked away from the house, sadness came back to me. I ended the conversation and went to the Vatican...on foot because I had no car. I sighed.
