The Mystery Killer

Ch. 5: Dad

-Julianna's pov- (Guen and Caleb's mom)

I left the hospital and ran into the courtroom. I stepped in and I instantly saw my dear Marko. "Babe!" I said excitedly throwing myself into his arms tears streaming down my face.

"Hi my love!" He said kissing me passionately. "Where's Guen and Caleb?"

"Um... they're busy..." I said gulping and looking down at my feet.

"Okay... Are you not telling me something?" He questioned me.

"Well. They're kind of both in the hospital right now." I said quietly.

We both stood there in silence for a long moment and he just broke out sobbing. He sat down on a bench and I sat down next to him and we just bawled for what seemed like forever. After we both stopped crying to stood up and I stood up as well and we drove back to the house because I had just got a call from Dietrich explaining everything and that him and Guen were at his house. 

(The next day)

-Guenivere's pov-

I smiled thinking of the night before. It was seriously like a sleepover; it reminds me of back when I had sleepovers in elementary school with my friends. Dietrich and I ate popcorn and drank grape juice while cuddled up watching Barbie the Princess and the Pauper. Just as my memory ended Dietrich came over to me and sat down on the couch where I had crashed the night before and had just woken up. "Hey baby." He said Eskimo kissing me. "How are you feeling?"

"Wonderful. Thanks for letting me relive my childhood memories." I said sitting up.

"You're welcome sweets. I will do anything for you." He said his adorable dark chocolaty eyes looking over at me.

"Have any more grape juice?" I asked.

"You and your addiction to grape juice." He said laughing. He got up and went into the kitchen walking back in moments later with a bottle of grape juice. I grabbed it from his hand and opened it taking a sip. "Mmm." I hummed licking my grape juice mustache off of my face.

"You're hilarious Guen." Dietrich said picking me up and twirling me around.

Rrrriiiiinggggggg

"Oh, I better get that. One sec." He said setting me down on the ground and walked into the other room to talk to whomever was on the phone. He came back into the room and sat back down setting me back onto his lap. "Do you want to go home to see your parents?"

"No. I want to stay with you forever." I begged him hugging my chest up against his.

"Eventually you will be able to but you really should go to see your parents. You're dad really wants to see you again." He said brushing his lips against mine.

"Can I start staying on weekends at least?" I asked. (It's currently Monday but Guen and Dietrich get the week off because of Mira and Caleb's deaths.)

"You can stay this whole week and weekends but in the day most days this week, you have to be with your parents." He said sternly.

"Okay." I said not wanting to leave him.

He picked me up and stood up, playfully throwing me onto the couch.

"Okay, let me just get this visit over with." I said sitting up on the couch not very excited to see my father again.

"Come get into the car." He said grabbing my hand and leading me to his car.

"Are you ready to see  your father? It has been like ten years." Dietrich asked after we had sat in silence for half of the car ride to my house.

"I don't know." I said a chill going down my spine just thinking about 'him.'

We got to my house and I just sat there in for a minute. "Do you want me to come in with you?" Dietrich asked me.

"No." I replied opening the car door and stepping out into the warm air. I closed the car door behind me and walked up to my front door and turned the handle stepping into the house. "Mom? D-dad?"

My dad stepped out from around the corner and it felt like time had stopped. We both just stood there for a moment staring at each other. "Guenivere," my dad started to speak. "I'm sorry..."

"No," I said turning around to face the door. "I don't want your apology now." I grasped the door handle and opened the door. I stepped outside and ran as fast as possible back to Dietrich's house. When I got to his house I opened the door and ran straight into his arms.

"Back already?" He asked. "What happened?"

"I can't... I won't except my dad's apology." I said to Dietrich.

"Baby please accept it. It will make your life a little better if you just accept it. The past is in the past. His mistakes are only his and your mistakes are only yours." He said rubbing my back gently.

'What I did is done and I can't undo it. The past is in the past and now I have to face this. My mistakes are mine, and mine only.' Wait a minute... I heard words like these before in a dream or something..." I thought to myself.

"Dietrich, repeat what you just said." I said to him.

"The past is in the past. His mistakes are only his and your mistakes are only yours." He repeated.

"My mistakes are mine and mine only." I stated part of what I heard in my dream(?)

What could this mean here and now?

Sorry for yet another short chapter. I just love leaving stuff on cliffhangers or feel like I have a good place to stop. -Taz-
