Chapter 13:Break from Htown

(Tristan pov)
I didn't know what to expect as I picked up Candy from the hospital. It was raining as I drove off.

"So how was everything?"I asked

She looked out the window.

"Is Alex still in Jail?" she asked.

"i haven't heard anything I stated.
"Are you ok?.. I asked.

She seemed out of it or something..

She told me she was fine but I felt something was bothering her.

"Whats wrong?I asked.

"Nothing," she said staring out the window as I was driving down the freeway.

As I was driving I got an impulsive idea. I decided to pass the exit going the apartment and just drive.

(Candy pov)
"Where are we going?" I asked.
As I opened my eyes and realized that I was still in the truck and Tristan was driving.

"It's a surprise," he said.

A surprise really.. What's going on now?

I didn't know where we were all I could see was long roads and trees surrounding each side. I knew I was in the country but why.

After what felt like forever but was actually 30 minutes later Tristan pulled up to a lake and turned off the truck.

"Where are we?"I asked.

"Do you always have your guard up so high?" he chuckled.

I crossed my arms and sighed.
"It's not like that." I said.

"Come on." he said as he grabbed a blanket out of the backseat.

I followed him to the edge right beside the lake he laid a blue blanket on the ground we both sat on it.

The sky was just starting to show stars and I could hear the low buzzing of the crickets. This was strangely relaxing to me.

He looked at and held my hands in his
"I want you to let me in Carla."
I looked at him

"We already talked about that I don't do back door," I said.

He shook his head and had a slight grin on his face.

"I mean... I want you to let me inside your heart I want more than just the outside."

I looked down at the ground

"What if all I had was the outside of myself...."

"I don't believe that.", he said.

"Why is that?" I asked.

"I've been watching you for awhile now and it's obvious you're a sweet person you just have sharp edges sometimes." He explained.

What is it about him that makes me feel so vulnerable sometimes I hate it but I also like it a lot.

Maybe I should let him in the Front door only of course.

Before I could come up with a response he kissed me and he made me feel like a 17-year-old girl losing her virginity as I let Tristan enter my front door by the lake.
After our love session by the lake, we realized it was getting late and decided to head back into town.

We both definitely felt better and was able to clear the air about us, the baby and the future.

As we finally made it back to our place I put the key in and opened the door something didn't feel right...

Tristan moved in front of me as we went inside and turned on the lights to see the place has been ransacked.

Broken glass was everywhere, our clothes was thrown all over, I was horrified as we kept walking around to see that the tv's been stolen.

The bed room was the worse of them all the mattress was all cut up and the carpets smelled of bleach.
Scribbled on the walls in red lipstick

Fuck you Slut was written on all four walls...
We both just stood there in shock..
