"They'll be fine. I already called the police."
Hank sighed and put his phone back into his pockets. We get back into the car and I watch As we drive away from the deviants scene. I wanted to help for some reason, so I did. "We're ten minutes away, trust me." Hank turns the corner as his music scared the both of us as it started out of nowhere.

Narrator

Talia looked to her dad with flames in her eyes. The building that sat in front of them was no other than Elijah Kamski's house. Her dad stared back to her with the same expression. She shook her head looked away from her dad.
"Go inside. I'm not fucking around Talia. You've been like dying for the past week. I know something is wrong, and there's one thing that I know is not helping you. Go forgive this man." Hank unlocks the door and waits Talia to grab the door handle. She stared outside the window and finally got the courage to open the door. She turns Back to her dad and flips him off with both of her hands. Talia scratches the top of her head as she reaches the door. Her knuckles banged against the metal as she looked down to the ground. Chloe answered the door in her normal Dark blue dress. She nods and opens the door wider.

"Welcome back Talia. We've missed you." Chloe steps aside for Talia to enter the house. Talia does so and takes in the smell she missed. Fairytale, and yet danger.
Chloe led her back into the main room. The scene was missing something. Elijah. He wasn't there. "Mister Kamski is in the shower. Would you like anything to drink or eat?"

"No thank you." Talia responds and takes in the building again. Flashbacks from the first time she came here filed her mind. A smile painted her face as she remembered being so embarrassed for falling into the pool.

"Talia?" Elijah asked with confusion coating his question. Talia turned to him with her smile fading from her face. Elijah fixed his hair in a hurry and stayed his distance from Talia.

"I came to... Apologize." Talia says in a low voice. Elijah's eyes widened in a surprised matter. He didn't think Talia was ever gonna talk to him again, let alone apologize.

"You have nothing to apologize for. I was incredibly... Mindless" Elijah tried to tell Talia she was wrong, but She already knew it wasn't her in the wrong. Talia walked closer, ignoring her own boundaries.

"I know... I'm miserable, I haven't eaten, or slept since everything. I'm literally dying." Talia finally exposed herself. Elijah held in his emotions and watched Talia explain herself. "For some reason this has had a big tole on me." Talia held her own hands and stared at the ground. Elijah walked closer to Talia and looked down to her.

"May I?" Elijah asked and opened his arms. Talia nods slowly and falls into Elijah's grasp.
He rubs her head and rests his chin on her head. "Listen, I'm sorry. I know I've said it a thousand times, but I mean it sincerely. I was being so pushy with you." Talia looks up to him with her natural glossy eyes. Elijah moves the hair out of her face with a smirk.

"I..." Talia didn't want to forgive him, but she did at the same time. "I forgive you." She smirked back up to him. She blinked five times and looked around her. What was she doing? Forgiving this man is suicide, but so is not forgiving him. Elijah nods and releases Talia from his grasp.

"I know this is hard for you, but I promise I'll be the best man you've ever met." Elijah crossed his arms and watched Talia stare out his large windows.

"Why'd you do it?" Talia looked back up to him, her eyes searching for an answer. Elijah shook his head and crossed his arms. Elijah, your proper is showing.

"I guess you could say it was because I wanted something I couldn't have. No, it wasn't your mom, but it was because I so desperately wanted the prize I was gonna have." Talia tilted her head, and awaited him to go on. "A family." Talia stood shocked at the words this man spoke. He doesn't seem like one to want a family. Him raising kids? Why does this make me laugh?!

"Wait, wait, you want a family?" Talia crossed her arms with a sarcastic smile. Elijah nods with an irritated tone.
"That's... Weird. I can't imagine you with a family. Aren't you like... A badass or something?" Elijah shook his head and looked away from Talia. Maybe it was the person he wanted to have his family with.
"So, Who was the lucky person anyways?"

"A woman by the name of Sarah Valsom."
Kamski answered with a serious tone. Talia contained her laughter about the "prize" he wanted.

"So, you basically got to know me to have my mom kidnap me for a family?" Elijah nods and scratched the back of his neck.
"Sounds a bit... Not like you."
Elijah shrugs and stared at Talia with sugar coated eyes. He wanted nothing more than Talia's friendship.

"Well, there's a lot of things you aren't aware about me. Things we don't need to talk about now." Talia was fine with not taking for now. She just wanted to get the constant reminder of this man for the rest of her life. Well, for Elijah, he wanted his everything back.
"You should eat something." Elijah insisted Talia as he gestured Chloe to come closer.

"It's okay. I should be going anyways." Talia fixes her bag and stares at the door. Elijah nods and watches Talia walk to the door. "Goodbye Elijah. I don't know when i'll see you again, but i wish you the best." Talia blows Elijah a kiss and exits the house. Elijah looks to Chloe witha nod of success. He wanted Talia back... He wanted her back mostly because he needed her just as much as she needed him.

Talia enters the car and looks to her dad with a nod. She got her life back in order. Hank smiles to her and began to start to drive out of the driveway. "So, i'm guessing everything went good." Hank continued driving with his smirk never leaving his face.

"Yeah. where's my food?"
