Chapter 10 The Grill
A/N Seriously guys, I really would like some suggestions about what Mrs. Newton and Bobby should look like. Give me names, links to photos, anything! I have some ideas, but I want to know your opinions.
I walked into the grill and immediately saw Matt wiping down the bar counter. I took the spot that he just cleaned. He glanced up, saw me and smiled.
"Hey, Elena. What's up?"
"Nothin' much." I lied, "what about you?"
"The same. What can I get you?" he asked turning around and holding up a menu.
"Oh, just a coke." I said to make things easier on him. He turned and got me my drink.
"Anything to eat?" he asked "You're always hungry." he laughed
I mocked like I was mad at him, but I know it was true. "Sure, I'll take some fries I guess." A few minutes later he returned with my meal and told the bartender he was taking a break. He leaned against the inside of the counter and stole one of my fries.
"Hey! I'm hungry" I laughed breaking off part of it and eating it. We both smiled at each other. I couldn't help it, Matt made me happy. I've known him forever and whatever was wrong, he could make it better. That's why I came here. I also had to get away from Damon and had nowhere else to go. I can't believe I said that to him. It's true, but still.
"So," Matt said looking at me ",You hear about Mrs. Newton?" he asked leaning on his elbows.
"Yeah, it's crazy" I said shaking my head. When we were about five I was at Mrs. Newton's playing and Matt came to my house. My dad told him where I was so he and his mom came over. She dropped him off there, my mother was there to, she didn't just leave him with complete strangers! They bonded, and he and Mr. Newton went fishing countless times over the years. Matt was crushed when he died.
"Who would want to do that? And why?" I asked putting ketchup on my fries. "I mean, she has nice things, but the Lockwoods, and countless other people are richer." I said wiping my hands on a napkin.
"Maybe they had a motive. Maybe they were looking for a specific thing as opposed to cash?" he said shrugging his shoulders.
"God, listen to us. We sound like detectives."I grumbled. But, Matt did give me an idea. I just didn't have it fully formed yet. I couldn't grab it. "But maybe you're right. Either way, we should leave it to the cops. I'm going over there tonight, to watch movies. Maybe all three of us could get together sometime soon?" I asked standing up an grabbing my jacket.
"That would be great! Be sure to ask her about that." He walked around the counter and gave me a hug.
"I will." I said throwing my money on the table and waving bye.
A/N Next chapter will probably be the movies so I need some suggestions to what they should watch before I can update, so review and tell me what you think please!
