   Rebecca and I were currently waiting in line to buy movie tickets when my phone went off in my pocket.

I pulled it out and raised one finger to Rebecca, who was mid conversation. "Hello?"

   "Skylar... we got him." My dad said.

   I took a nervous glance at Rebecca before walking out of hearing distance. "Dad, I'm with Rebecca."

   "Oh, don't worry about it, we can handle it."

   "Are you sure, dad?"

   "Yeah. Besides, if we get caught, you'll be safe."

   I let out a small sigh. "Just be careful, ok?"

   "I will. You just have fun, I'll text you when it's over."

   "Ok. Bye, dad... I love you."

   "Love you to, bye."

   I slid my phone back into my pocket before making my way back towards Rebecca.

   "Who was that?"

   "Bill collector. I swear, the minute you get a phone, it's like they know."

   She giggled as we made our way to the front counter.

We got our two tickets and made our way to the concession counter, where we ordered two drinks and one large popcorn to share.

   We walked off towards the theaters and stopped in front of one of the many numbered doors.

   "That's us." She said as she made her way into the theatre.

   We took two seats at the very top and caught the end of the opening credits before the movie started.

Rebecca picked a horror movie, which was a personal favorite of mine. But, she seemed scared shitless.

Good thing I had no problem holding her close.

   "Why'd you pick this movie if you're scared?" I whispered.

   "Well, I heard they were your favorite."

   "From who?"

   "Wendy. Her and that redhead came into the diner the other day and we got to talking."

   "Awe, Rebecca you didn't ha-" I stopped mid sentence, her words finally sinking in.

   'Why were Wendy and Jen at the diner together?' I thought.

   "You ok? You kinda zoned out on me." She said with a chuckle, pulling me from my thoughts.

   I nodded slowly. "Uh... Yeah. I was just thinking."

   "Good things I hope."

   "I only ever think about you anymore." I lied smoothly.

   She rolled her eyes and smiled as she snuggled up closer to me...

   The movie was coming to an end and I realized I missed the whole thing. I spent the whole time trying to figure out why they were at the diner together. Maybe they ran into each other, I've seen Jen there before. But, Wendy only went to Twist unless I dragged her somewhere else. Maybe they were on a date...

   Rebecca grabbed my arm, pulling me out of my thoughts.

   "You coming?" She asked with a giggle.

   I looked around and realized everyone was leaving.

   "Uh... Yeah, sorry." I stood from my seat awkwardly.
