The Secret of The Johanssons

Chapter 13 : Tunnel of Darkness

While waiting for Devon , i racked my brain trying to find a little clue who might be the killer . Nothing popped up , i tried thinking about people who hates my mom , but there was no one . Well except grandpa but thats out of the list . Next i tried to think about gangs or thief , but we were poor and gangs wasn't common in our neighborhood .

I wanted to yell and scream , frustrated with all the stuff that i was supposed to get over with . There was a knock on my window and i turned around knowing who it was . I opened the window and let Devon in . I put my finger in front of my mouth , giving him a sign that he have to be quite .

I went out my room and looked around the hallway . There was no one and i could hear dads voice in his room and aunt in the kitchen . I went back in and saw Devon holding my phone .

" what are you doing ? " i said folding my arms

" what is a ' james ' ? "

" a person " i said grabbing my phone

" well he's texting you " i could hear the jealousy in his voice . I couldn't helped but smile

" why ? Are you jealous? " i said mocking him

" sorry Scar but i never get jealous " he said smiling

He sat down on my bed and looked around .

" nice room "

" thank my aunt " i said grabbing the diary

" no thanks . So why am i here again? "

" to find my moms killer you idiot " i said shoving the diary to his chest

" I've read this you know "

" yeah i know , but you were looking for treasure now you're looking for clues "

" how is this diary going to tell us anything ? "

" i have no idea but that's all i have right now "

We read the diary for a whole hour , exchanging every two entries to get food or drink . Since Devon can't possibly go outside , i was the one taking the food . Aunt looked at me weirdly taking a lot of food up to my room , but i did not say anything . I put the diary down and let out a huge sigh .

" i give up there is absolutely nothing in here " i said leaning against my chair

" me too " he said while munching on chips . I looked at him and laughed .

" oh please i was the one who did all the reading "

" and i was the one who supported , without me you would've given up faster " he winked

I cant helped but smile . I got up from my comfy place and grabbed some chips .

" so what are we supposed to do now ? "

" well i was thinking , maybe we could get those reports about your moms death from the police and find something "

" how are we supposed to get that? "

" say we have a school project or something "

" its summer "

" so? " he said looking up at me

" fine you do that and ill try to get more of aunts diary , maybe they'll help "

He nodded . We stood there for a long time and it started to feel awkward . Devon started talking and broke the silence .

" okay I can't help it since this question has been filling up my head " he stopped " are we like a thing now ? "

" what ? " I would've spit out my water if i was drinking

" you know a thing like , dating ? "

" i don't know , how about you? What do you think ? "

He reached up and dragged me down . I knew where this was going but it still made me nervous . When our lips finally met i could feel my heart beating so fast .

" i think that answers your question " he said

I kissed him back

" and i think that answers your question " i said smiling . He smiled and winked at me .

" you know that was not very gentleman of you to kiss a girl like that without her permission "

" very funny Scar , oh well i have to get out of here before your aunt come busting in and kick my butt " he said getting up

I opened the window for him and he climbed out .

" thanks for asking me to visit " he said

" shut up Romeo and get going "

" oh please just say that you're happy that i visited "

" if you visit me tomorrow without that report , there will be no more visits " i smiled

" i have the best girl friend ever " he said sarcastically

" you bet "

I closed the window and laid on my bed . Yes i am thinking about what just happened , don't judge me . Maybe now i can sleep well .
