ANNE'S POV

"We'll have to walk back to mansion. The car's parked there." I told the boys. "Anne?" Jason called. "hmm?" "you sure we can trust Enzo?" he asked. I nodded, "definitely." "what did he ask you to do by the way?" Roger asked. "well, he wanted you to go over every single detail of when you were kidnapped." I replied. "well, I don't remember much..." he began. "let's talk about it tomorrow. We've all had am extremely long day and a well-earned rest. " I cut him.

"you're so right. all I wanna do right now is just curl up in bed and sleep." Roger said as he opened the door of the car. I slid into the driver's seat with Jason next to me. Roger hopped into the back. "hey you guys?" Roger said leaning in the space between the two front seats. "I'll head to my parent's house today. I'll sort out thing with them." "sounds like a good idea. We'll drop you off" Jason said. Roger nodded and sat back.

We dropped Roger off and the headed back to our apartment. We were dead tired. Jason and I stumbled into the hall and plopped ourselves down onto the sofa. "that was..." he began. "something else? I know." I added. "yeah. I can't believe what just went down in the past few hours. But oh boy I am glad we found Mel's killer." Jason added. "Likewise. I am happy I was able to do thing one last thing for her. She was my best friend Jason, and I lost her. The pain is unbearable." I said as I rested my head on his chest. He swung his arm comfortingly around me. he pulled me closer.

Gentle tears trickled down my cheeks. "it's okay baby. Let is all out." Jason cooed. I clutched his t-shirt and shook uncontrollably. He kept rubbing my arm and back. The pain began to sink in. All this while, the case kept me occupied. So, I pushed pass my pain. But now, every possible emotion burst out like a fountain. A fountain made of tears and pain. Mel was my soul sister, and nobody could take her place. She'll always have a special place in my heart. After a few minutes I began to calm down. I sat up and began wiping my tears off.

"you okay baby girl?" Jason asked. I nodded. "thank you." I said. "for what?" he asked. "for being there for me. Supporting me and not letting me fail." I answered honestly. Jason looked at me as though I was some alien from Mars. "you crazy? I love you mophead. I'll always be there for you no matter what. We're in this together. You're stuck with me now." He said lovingly. "aww. You can be such a sweetheart sometimes." I gushed as I pinched his cheeks. "sometimes? Don't you mean always?" he chuckled. "you wish." I laughed, choking through a few sobs.

Jason stared at me. "what? Do I have something on my face?" I asked. "no silly. You're beautiful. I was just wondering how did I get so lucky?" Jason replied. I ruffled his hair playfully. I got up and kissed his cheek. "I am the lucky one." I whispered in his ear and sauntered off. "where do you think you're going." He asked raising his eyebrows. "shower. Wanna join?" I laughed. "you know I'll never say no." he smirked, jumping off the sofa. "you're such a goofball." I laughed and kissed him.

After that nice hot shower, I threw on my favourite shorts and a baggy t-shirt and lounged in front of the television. Jason made two bowls of instant noodles for us both. He handed me one and began eating his. I finally found my favourite movies "17 Again" on one of the channels and began eating. Jason's phone rang, interrupting us. "hello?" he answered. "hang on putting you on speaker. Anne's right here." "hello?" I said. "hey guys" Roger spoke, "Just wanted to let you know, I had a word with my parents. I'll give you all the details tomorrow. I'll be there for breakfast. Then we can also try and figure Harper out." He added.

"will do. See you at ten." Jason replied. "Good night you two." Roger said. "Night Roger." Jason and I said in unison before cutting the line. "Hit the bed?" I asked. "yeah" Jason replied. I fell asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow.
