Avril's Pov- Today was two years, 2 years that Derrick had been gone. I decided to repeat my the same routine I do every November 16th. Skip school, go to the pier, get Ice Cream and eat it and then come home. I kiss mom goodbye and leave for the day when I get to the pier I order mint chocolate chip Ice cream in a cone and go over to the bench Derrick and I sat on the first date eating Mint chocolate chip Ice cream from a cone on the pier.
That's how I honor him. As I am finishing up the Ice cream I feel the bench shake as someone has taken a seat on the other end of it. A young man at that holding a stack of stapled papers. He was muttering under his breath. He stared out into the ocean. It was as if a voice I hadn't heard in ages rush through me. "Talk to him Avril, maybe you can mend each other." I almost jump off the bench. Derrick had been dead for two years and every once in a while I hear it speak to me. I close my eyes and take breath.
"Looks like I am not the only one having a bad day." I say jokingly. He looks over to me and smirks. "No you can count me in too." He says. "My name is Avril." I say sticking out my hand and he takes it. "Kolin." He replies. "What's that?." I ask nodding toward the stack of papers. "Oh that's my script to a movie, Director gave me a copy to practice my lines until they find a girl to be my costar." He says. I nod my head. "Say would you mind practing something with me just a kiss. My character has to say a big speech to a girl before he kisses her."
He says. I nod my head before I can think of what I was doing. He takes a deep breath before setting the script down. He takes my hands. "Caroline, I couldn't imagine a world without you and if you can't remember anything we had before this then that's fine because you will always be my first true love. I love you Caroline Collins." He leans in before I meet in the middle and our lips lock. I take my hands and pull him closer he grabs my back and pulls me closer. I don't believe this is rehearsing. We pull away and I grab my purse and stand to leave. "Wait, where are you going?" "Sorry I have to go." I say leaving.
"Wow John we have many beautiful and handsome people tonight on the red carpet." The lady says speaking into the microphone. "We do Katherine-." I tune them out. I look up and see my parents standing by me and holding my baby sister. I look over and see A man and Woman standing there smiling for cameras flashing all around us. There was a boy between the two standing there not looking happy with boucing brown curls. A little girl stands behind her parents with brown hair and a bow in it. Her mother holds a little toddler in her arms. "Look at that! Evan and Taissa Peters everybody." Katherine shouts. The crowd goes crazy.
I wake up from my dream and rush over to my laptop. I type in Evan Peters. I click under his name which has him married to Taissa Farmiga since 2013.
They have 3 Children liam 2012, Avril 2014, and Mallory 2016,.
Evan happily resides in Bangor Maine with Wife and children. I get in my car and drive to nearest school. There I try to get an address. "Sorry hon, Can't do that, but I can give you a copy of the annual." I look through the annaul and found Avril in the junior year grade section this must be from last year.
I thank the front office woman amd ride around back roads. Until I see a kid riding around on a bike. I roll dowm my window. "Hey kid you know where Avril Peters live?." His mouthed dropped. "The Avril Peters?." He asks. "Did I stutter?." I say. He looks around before leaning in. "How much money you got?."
I roll my eyes and slap him a 20. "Dude if you want exact location at least 50." I hand him three more 3 ten dollar bills. "Alright go down the road and make a left and the 3 houses down you will find them.
" I nod my head and thank the kid. I keep driving and finally pull in. I walk over to the door and ring it when Taissa Peters walks up to the door. "Can I help You.?" She says. " Is Avril here?." He asks. She steps aside and lets me in.
"My name is Kolin, Kolin Fassbender." Mrs. Peters nods and walks into the living room. A few minutes later I hear footsteps coming back into the foyer. In comes Evan Peters now with Taissa following behind. He leads me into the living room and tells me to take a seat. Which I do. "So what brings you here Mr?." "Mr. Fassbender, Kolin Fassbender sir." I say nodding. "Are you related to Michael and Alicia by chance?." "Um yeah actually they are parents sir." "I have worked with your dad a bunch of times." Taissa comes in with three glasses of lemonade.
"I came over to ask you sir and Mrs. May I take Avril out for dinner one night?." Taissa goes to sit beside her husband. "I'm going to be honest with you Kolin. That's my princess your asking to take out. If I give you permission you will start out here in our kitchen."
"Thank You Sir." Taissa goes upstairs to ask Avril. Avril comes down and into the living room. I stand up and go over to her. "Hi." She says. "Hi." I reply back. "So I wanted to know would you want to out to dinner sometimes." I ask. "Sure." she says. "Perfect your date night will start at 7 sharp don't be late." Taissa warns me. "I thank them and leave until 7 with a special girl in my heart.
At 7:00 I come back dressed sharp with two boquets Taissa opened the door. "For you." I say hading her the flowers. "Oh they are so pretty thank you." I nod my head and walk in I stand by the staircase she comes down to her mother's voice. "Avril!" I hear. I hear click and clonking Avril comes down the stairs in one of the most breath taking gowns she could wear with her hair and makeup so gorgeous. I offer her the boquet of flowers once she comes all the way down the stairs. "You look amazing Avril." "So do you Kolin." She says testing the waters. I pulled out a chair for her at the kitchen table. Evan was the cook, Mallory was like another waitress and liam was a waiter. By the end of the night Evan had pulled me by the arm. "You can take her out I approve." I feel like the happiest man alive.
