Yes, I know it's short... but I finally got this fic done -- yay!
Chapter 10- Six Months Later
Mac, Stella, and Horatio were near a railroad station in Orlando, waiting for the girl that Horatio had been talking to online.
"She might by a man, you never know," said Mac.
"Julia's no man – she sent pictures," said Horatio.
"I saw them," said Stella. "She doesn't look real."
They all laughed over it.
"So when is she – or he – supposed to arrive?" said Mac.
"Ten minutes," said Horatio. "Look, a taco stand! I'm gonna get a taco… you guys want tacos?"
"Knock yourself out," said Mac.
Horatio walked across the street to the taco stand.
"I'm glad it's over," said Mac.
Stella knew he was referring to the summer – but there was a part of her that wasn't convinced. She had felt a chill in the air all morning, like something bad was going to happen. Horatio began to walk back to the couple, a bag of food with him.
"Now why would a girl like that need online dating?" said Stella.
Mac and Stella were laughing – then they screamed when the speeding bus came out of nowhere and crushed Horatio.
"No!" said Stella.
Mac couldn't believe it. Death was back.
After placing an anonymous call to 911 the couple went into the station and caught the next train headed out of state. As they boarded and the train left the station, they didn't hear the song playing on a homeless guy's radio.
Some may say this might be
Your last farewell ride
Some may say this might be
Your last farewell ride
Song is "Farewell Ride" by Beck.
I'm gonna leave it like this... whether mac and stella lived or died is how you interpret or wish the ending to be.
You'll see me either writing Phoenix, my Mac/OC story, or Anything Can Happen, my Don/OC story.
