Criminal -Neil Westfall-

Chapter Twenty Six

Can I just say, I am blessed I had the honor of being born in the city let alone state Twenty One Pilots was born in. I have always lived here and I probably won't always live here. But at least I can say I was born here. Just to think, I could have walked on the ground they once walked on. Which is probably true, every once and awhile I go downtown, which is where they always go. I'm blessed,  I love my mom for always staying in this beautiful city where Tyler and Josh lived in. 

~XOXO~

"Jeremy, he hasn't slept. I'm worried. It's been a week. I barely see him anymore because he's with his club I guess. I can't have him push me away. Other then you all I have is Neil." I rest my head on his shoulder while he was writing a song. "Jeremy? Are you even listening to me?" 

"Yes, Kat. Give him time. He needs his space." I roll my eyes.

"How can he get space from me but not everyone else?" He was writing pretty fast. 

"Kat, I honestly think you are overthinking this whole thing. He needs to be with people who he's known since before he moved here." I listened then started to read some of his songs. He then looked at me. "It'll be okay baby sis. You'll get your knight and shinning armor after he takes in what happened to his brother." I look up at him and smile. 

"Thanks Jeremy." he rubbed my shoulder then stood up. "Well my break is over in a few minutes."

I smile, "I can't believe you have a real job. Did dad cut you off or something?" He shook his head putting his apron back on over his head. 

"No, just thought I could use my own money for when I get my own place." 

I got surprised watching him clock back into the coffee house. "You are moving out now?"

"Yeah, I also am working more on my music too."

"You haven't told me any of this Jeremy, why not?" I walk up to the counter slowly as he starts making me a cup of coffee. 

"Um.. Because I don't plan on staying in town actually." He slide over the mug too me. He didn't make eye contact at all. After that, he walked away to serve another costumer. He's leaving? Why is he leaving? 

He came back to make another cup, "What do you mean your leaving?" He sighed and ignored my question. "Jeremy?!" I yelled whispered to him.

"This is why I didn't tell Kat. When I said I'm working on my music, I got a record deal with people in New York. And I'm taking the deal. For my future."

"Why? Why can't you stay with me? I need you Jeremy, you're my brother. The only family I have." I start tearing up. 

"Why can't you just be happy for me? Kat, this is my dream! My dream, everything I've wanted to do since I was little. You knew that. Mom and dad would want that for me." He walks and hands the lady her drink then comes back.

"Mom and dad are dead, their not coming back. Ever, know that Jeremy." He smiles and leans over.

"You don't think I know that? Mom and dad loved us and always wanted the best for the both of us. And being a girlfriend of a biker who is the leader of the whole thing is no saint. I'm doing what's best for me and making mom an dad proud,"

"You're saying I'm not making them proud? This has nothing to do with Neil. This is about you and me, how you are leaving me. Our parents would be happy just seeing me happy." He shook his head washing the counter.

"But you aren't happy Kat. You were here just talking about how he doesn't even know you are there. That's no boyfriend. That's not even a man." I nod, I couldn't believe he was saying all this to me. 

"When are you leaving?" I look up at him. He bite his lip.

"In a month.." My heart sank more. I took a deep breathe not knowing what to say anymore. I don't think he knew either. I poured my coffee into a to go cup and left without another word. He didn't stop me and I wasn't going to let him. 

I started walking around and see Andy in front of Theater with some of the other members. I walk past trying for them not to notice but it failed. "Hey sweet cheeks," He pulled my arm lightly, I roll my eyes.

"Don't call me that."

"Aw, still mad at little old daddy?" I raised an eyebrow while crossing my arms. "I see, well why don't you come join us for a movie, yeah? Then maybe, you and I could get something to eat afterwards. How does that sound princess?" 

I bit my lip,  "Are you really hitting on me? Even though you know I am with Neil." He laughed, I didn't say anything funny?

"Honey, Neil is getting laid right about now. And obviously not with you because you are standing right here with me." I shake my head no. "Oh yes, believe it. With a girl named Roxanne." I looked at him confused, not the Roxanne who he hit on with?

Flashback

"Do you own?" He asks making her an I very confused.

"Own what?" She raises one eyebrow, kinda weirded out.

"Those wings, you angle.." He smirks then bites his lip, scanning her body a few times. I got white as she got red. She keeps chewing her gum slowly.

"Why don't you find out." She winks at him and he nods.

"I can make that happen." She giggles. Then he whispers something in her ear that makes her bite her lip.

"He's not really with her right? "

"I think it's cute how you think, I would lie to a beauty like yourself." He smirked and walked away with all the other guys. That couldn't be true. He had to have been lying. Neil wouldn't cheat, would he? Right?

I walk down the street and kept thinking what Andy said to me about Neil. There is no way, he couldn't! I think deeper, I pull out my phone and start to call him. 

What am I doing! I can't trust Andy! I hang up the phone after the first ring. But I called again, this time I stayed on the phone as it rang. And rang, and rang, no answer. He didn't answer.
