The Cop Who Loves Me...A Teenager

chapter 12

Today I'm going back to school.  Brody was driving me. Remember that man on Halloween? He's going to jail for the rest of his life. His partner only got 15 years.   Brody got me out of the trial...there was enough evidence and he told the judge that I was emotionally unstable...which is kind of true.  I still flinch when someone touches me...including Brody.

We pulled up to the school and I was about to get, but Brody caught my attention.  "Autumn."

I turned to face him.  "Yeah?"

"Do you want to do something after school today...maybe go on a movie date?"

I smiled. "Sure.  I'd like that"'

He smiled back and I got out of the car and walked into school.   School went by slowly.  I was too busy looking forward to my date with Brody.  I found myself glancing at the clock every five minutes.  I've been getting less distant with my friends. Today I actually had a real conversation with them.  They were happy I was feeling better.

Finally the day ended and I ran out if the school. I found  Brody leaning against his car with black sunglasses on.  I walked up to him.  "What's with the shades agent double-o 1?" I asked playfully.

"Ha. ha. ha." He said sarcastically. 

 "SO what movie are we seeing?" I asked

"Paranormal Activity" He said in a creepy voice.

My face dropped. "No. No. no. no. no. no. and NO.  I saw the first movies and they scared the crap out of me!"

"Exactly...I'll have you in my arms the whole time." He replied with a cocky smirk.

"Fine...but I'm only seeing it because you're cute."

"Cute? I don't do cute.  I'm extremely hot."

I paused and looked at him.  "let's go" I said enthusiastically.

"What?! You don't think I'm hot?"

"Of course I do...But calling yourself hot is a little too....conceded."

"Just get in the car." He mumbled walking around to the driver's side causing me to laugh. 

Later at the movie...

"AAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!"  I screamed along with ever other girl and a few squeamish boys in the theater.  I ducked my head behind Brody, who was laughing uncontrollably.  Who in their right mind would be laughing at this?! It's freakin scary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I slowly peaked over Brody's shoulder to see what was happening in the movie, but I screamed again and hid my face behind him again.  Brody put his arm around me and I covered my eyes with my hands and faced Brody's chest...Which wasn't quite comforting seeing as Brody wouldn't stop laughing.

FINALLY the movie ended.  I looked at Brody who's face was as red as a tomato and his eyes tearing from laughing so much.  "How the hell could you laugh through the entire movie?!"  I wondered,

"I thought it was hilarious.  You could tell everything was fake."

"Fake?  The whole movie looked completely real to me and everyone else."

"Oh come on.  Those people's faces were priceless.  But anyways, ready to go?"

"YES!"  I said practically running out o the theater. I stopped outside the door waiting for Brody.  He finally came out and put on his sunglasses. 

"And now, I'm taking you out to dinner." He stated.

"Dinner where?  Not at a haunted house I hope."
