Chapter Twenty: Moment With You
Normal POV
"Gary, Gary, Gary, look!" A girl, around the age of eight, was running full speed to her spiky haired friend who was currently under a tree in his backyard.
He closed a book he was reading and looked up at the girl before smiling at her. "What is it, Leaf?"
She grinned ear to ear and pulled a sticker book out of her messenger bag and showed it to him. "My parents just got me a new collection of stickers!" she said excitingly.
The boy chuckled at how easily excited she could get. "Can I see them?"
She gave him a skeptical look. "It depends, are you going to ruin them?"
He pretended that he was hurt by the comment and to add effect, he placed his hand over his heart. "I'm hurt, Leaf. Why would I, your best friend, ruin something so important to you?"
She giggled lightly before handing him the book and took a seat next to him. She looked over at Gary who was looking at the stickers calmly, not as excited as she was, but still had a calm smile on his face. Leaf suddenly snatched the book from his hands and was flipping through the pages, looking for a particular sticker while Gary raised an eyebrow at her.
"What are you looking for?" he inquired.
When she didn't respond back, he decided to just watch her to see what she was up to. When she found the sticker she wanted, she grinned again and ripped it off the page, sticking it onto Gary's right cheek as he tried not to blush from their close contact. "There, a sticker for you!" she said gleefully.
Gary tore the sticker from his face and looked at it. It wasn't a large sticker nor was it a tiny one but an average looking sticker. There was a blue turtle on the side and he immediately recognized it as one of his favorite Pokémon, a Squirtle, from their favorite show back then, Pokemon. Next to it was a writing text, 'I like Squirtle, but not as much as I like you.' Of course, having such a naïve mind back then, Gary only understood it as a friend type of like and simply brushed it off, thanking her and sticking it on the book he had.
"Are you going to give one to Ashy boy?" he asked.
She nodded. "Yeah, I'm planning to give him the Pikachu one since it's his favorite," she confirmed.
Gary nodded along, agreeing with her choice. "That's true, when are you going to give it to him?" he pressed.
She simply shrugged. "I'm not sure yet, probably when I see him."
From there, the two just hung out that whole day, joking and playing around, laughing, and enjoying each others' company.
Gary's eyes fluttered open from his sleep, partially annoyed that he was interrupted. When he looked around to see who had woken him up, he saw his grandfather talking to the doctor, who was unaware of his awakening. From the corner of his eyes, he spotted Leaf asleep on a couch that was set up next to the window on his left. He looked at the clock that hung at the wall and was surprised that it was two in the morning. It wasn't long afterwards for him to realize he was in a hospital when he took notice of a machine he was hooked on to.
When both Professor Oak and the doctor took notice of him, they approached him and the doctor asked a few questions to where Gary answered truthfully. The doctor sighed and gestured to the door for Professor Oak to leave. He suggested Gary to get some sleep before leaving the room and talking to the professor in his office.
"Is there anything wrong?" he inquired.
The doctor sighed deeply. "It seems that the tests we did before you arrived were correct. We only had to ask him to confirm it by asking him questions." The doctor removed his glasses and placed it down on his desk before looking at the professor. "Your grandson, Gary, has a brain tumor."
Professor Oak tried to hide his shocked reaction but it didn't do any good as the doctor already saw it. "Is it serious?"
"I'm afraid it is serious. The tumor is located in the brain's frontal and temporal lobe and it's already over five centimeters big." He looked at the professor's worried face and sighed. "How about we discuss about this tomorrow with your grandson? I believe he has the right to know what's going on with him and that way you wouldn't have to tell him," he suggested.
Professor Oak managed to make out a nod and stood up. "Then I'll meet you here tomorrow afternoon with Gary." He made his way out of the hospital and left to his hotel.
Next Day
When Gary finally woke up, it was already late in the morning and the sky was clear with the sun shining brightly. He felt the rays shoot through the window and hitting his face, forcing him to open his eyes. Since the rays hitting him were so intense, it was hard to open his eyes seeing as he didn't want another headache to come up again.
Then he felt something on his hand. He tried to grasp hold of it but found it difficult to do so but the hand that was on his held it firmly. "It's okay, I'm here."
Gary recognized that voice; it was gentle and angelic, calming him down so he took his time to open his eyes. When he was finally ready to open his eyes and adjust to the light, he slowly fluttered them open and gradually adjusted to the brightness in the room. He then proceeded to look at the hand that was clutching his own and traced it to the source. A tiny yet happy smile graced his lips when he saw the beautiful brunette before his eyes. "Leaf."
Her eyes softened and smiled at him, bringing his hand up to her cheek. "I'm glad you're okay. I was so scared when you passed out on stage." Her voice was soft and gentle, trying her best not to choke on her tears.
Gary though noticed the crack in her voice, frowned and started to caress her cheeks lightly. "I'm sorry I scared you." He wiped a stray tear that managed to escape from her eye with his thumb. "I'm okay now, don't cry," he whispered softly.
"I'm just happy you're alright, that's all." She leaned down and placed a kiss on his lips before helping him sit up.
Gary, who was now fully awake, captured a better look at the brunette. Her usual soft and shiny hair was replaced with frizz, her bright jade eyes were bloodshot from all her crying and under the eyes were bags and dark circles. "You look like a mess," he blurted absentmindedly before realizing what he said. "Wait, I didn't mean it that w –"
He was cut off with her giggle. "It's okay, I know I look horrible. I was barely able to sleep last night." She yawned and stretched her arms.
Gary looked at the clock and then back at his girlfriend. He leaned in a planted a kiss on her cheek before looking in her eyes. "Go home and wash up. I'll be okay," he assured.
Leaf figured protesting would be useless and she admitted her did need to clean up. She was a mess after all. "Okay, I'll try to be back soon."
Leaf made her way across the room to grab her bag off the couch and started to head for the door. "I'll be waiting for you to come back then," Gary said.
"Then I guess I should take my time to see how long you'll last," she retorted, smirking.
"Oh come on, Leaf, you know you want to come back soon. I mean, who can resist not coming back to me?" he replied, smirking.
A light giggled came from her and she smiled. "Bye, Gary."
"So, Gary's alright?" Dawn inquired.
Leaf nodded. "Yup, he's okay. He was probably stressed or something last night," she confirmed while grabbing the bread and inserting it into the toaster. "Hey, where's May?" she asked when she noticed the missing brunette.
They heard a door slam from the living room and rushed to greet her. When they got there, May had a dazed look on her face and her hair was looking disheveled.
"May?" Misty called.
The said brunette snapped from her little spell and looked nervously at her three best friends. "Uh, hey there guys."
A sly grin was on all of their faces. "So, May, what were you doing out so late?" Leaf asked slyly.
"Uh, well, you see," May stuttered her words and started to play with her fingers.
"Could it be that it had to do with a certain grass head?" Dawn added.
May's face fumed beat red and all three girls squealed in delight. "What did you two do?" Misty inquired.
"Were you using protection?" Leaf pressed jokingly.
"Leaf! May would never do that! She didn't even forgive him yet, right May?" Dawn assured. Three heads were shifted to look at the blushing brunette.
May laughed nervously and looked down on the floor. "Well, here's the thing…we sorted it all out and I kind of forgave him and well…one thing led to another…"
"You two did use protection though, right?" Leaf repeated.
If May were to compete with a tomato, she would've won by a long shot. The girls' eyes soon widened as their grins fell. "MAY, DON'T TELL US…" Dawn began.
"Do you realize how much you just risked?" Misty questioned.
"I know, I know, but we just got caught up in the moment and I got lost in those eyes of his." May sighed.
The three girls continued to stare at her. "May, it's not that we don't approve of you two doing what you did but was it worth losing your first time with him?" Leaf asked calmly.
May's face was no longer as red as it was before. There was still a tint of pink on her cheeks but she had finally looked up from the floor and her eyes reflected true bliss, something that hasn't be seen for a while. "It was worth it, I know it, because I love him," she stated firmly.
Misty smiled and approached the brunette, wrapping her arms around her. "Then as long as you're happy," the red head whispered.
Dawn happily joined the hug and then they all looked at Leaf who giggled before joining them in the group hug. "So, are you going to tell your parents that their seventeen year old daughter just lost her virginity to her ex-boyfriend who is now her boyfriend again?" Dawn interrogated.
May's face turned red again. "DAWN!"
While Gary waited for Leaf, he decided to watch some television until there was a knock on his door, who turned out to be his grandfather. "Good afternoon, Gary," he greeted.
"Hey, Gramps, what're you doing here?"
Gary turned the television off and looked at the professor whose eyes were filled with worry and was almost hesitant to speak. "Are you still getting headaches today?" he finally asked.
"Now that you mention it, no, why?"
The professor sighed and made his way to the chair that was set next to Gary. He took a seat on it and looked straight at him, seriousness written all over his face. "You have a tumor in your brain," he choked out.
Gary felt like time had hit pause and stared at his grandfather, eyes wide. "You're kidding."
The professor shook his head. "I wish I was, but I'm not. You have a brain tumor," he repeated. "I don't know much but it's already over five centimeters big and it's located in the frontal and temporal lobe. Dr. Alex suggested talking more about it today with you. Do you want to see him now?"
Gary silently nodded, saying nothing still in the shock about his tumor. He allowed the professor to help him out of his bed and led him to the office belonging to Dr. Alex, who was already waiting for them in his office. When they entered, he motioned to the two seats in front of him and the two took a seat.
"So can you explain more about the tumor?" Professor Oak asked.
"Well, Professor Oak, I'm assuming you told him about the tumor."
"How could this have happen?" Gary suddenly blurted, turning eyes on him. "What caused this?" His expression was unreadable; it was a mix of shock and anger together.
The doctor looked down on the files and looked back up. "There is no definite cause for the occurrence of a tumor; it can either happen to children or young adults. It's quite common to see young patients like you, Gary. So, those long headaches and the irritable and disturbed personality you often experience all have to do with the tumor."
Gary clenched his teeth tightly, trying his best not to release his anger out. "How's my condition then? Is it serious?" he asked through gritted teeth.
The doctor's eyes shifted to the computer and sighed. "The tumor is located extremely close to your cerebral artery therefore it may cause hemorrhage to the artery. When you passed out last night, it was caused by the tumor itself." Dr. Alex turned from his computer and to Gary again. "Your condition does not look very good and the only treatment is through surgery now," he explained.
Professor Oak looked over at his grandson's reaction and felt guilty, 'How could I've let this happen?' he thought to himself.
"What's the success rate?" Gary inquired rather calmly.
"It's only fifteen percent."
"Then what if I just don't go through with the operation?" His calm demeanor was gone and he started to raise his voice.
Dr. Alex still remained calm. "According to your condition, the tumor has already grown very large and can simply jeopardize your vitals at any time," he reasoned. He looked over at the files again before glancing back at Gary. "Removing the tumor is the fastest and effective way. If you decide against the operation, then you'll have at most a few months time to live."
At this time, Gary had already tuned out everything else and started thinking about the process. 'Only a few months? But what about Leaf?'
"Can we quickly start on the operation?" Professor Oak questioned frantically.
"You guys need to be mentally prepared; it's a very high risk surgery especially when it involves the brain since it's the most sensitive organ. Even if the operation is a success, you could develop blindness, amnesia, dementia, or even paralysis, as well as other side effects." He focused his attention on Gary again. "Mr. Oak, I advise you stay hospitalized and accept more progressive treatments."
Gary could no longer hold in his emotions now. His state of shock from the information he had just learned was mixed with the fear of dying and the anger that he'll forget about everything if he lives through the surgery. "So, what you mean is, if I live from this, I'll be an idiot who won't even be able to remember his own name?"
He abruptly stood from his seat and quickly left the office, rushing to get out of the hospital as soon as possible. Professor Oak stood up from his chair as well and tailed after Gary. "Gary, wait," he called to his running grandson. The professor started to pick up his pace and went faster trying to catch up.
Gary had already made it downstairs where the entrance was with his grandfather close behind. Before he could go any further, Professor Oak grabbed his arm and pulled him back. "What's gotten into you, boy?"
"I just got her back, Gramps. After four long, grueling years, I finally have Leaf back in my life again and I don't want to risk forgetting about her, she's too important!" he blurted quickly. His eyes were filled with fear of the operation but had some anger mixed into it. "I don't want to lose her again…" he added inaudibly.
Professor Oak's eyes softened and released his tight grip around his grandson's arm. "Are you going to tell her?" he inquired.
Gary shook his head rapidly. "I don't know, Grandpa, I really don't. I'm afraid to tell her and I'm afraid I'm going to lose her again," he said with his voice cracking word after word.
Just when he said that, the entrance door slid open and Leaf walked in, unaware of what was happening. She spotted her boyfriend and ran up to hug him from behind. "Were you that excited to see me again that you decided to wait down here for me?" she teased.
Gary cleared his throat and turned back to Leaf with a smirk on his face. "Of course, I mean it took you a while to get back I thought something happened," he said giving her a kiss on the forehead.
She giggled and noticed Professor Oak standing there and smiling at the two. "Hi there, Professor Oak, here to visit Gary?"
"As a matter of fact, yes, I was just checking to see how he was doing today," he replied. He looked at the two happy couple and decided they needed to spend some time together so he thought it was time for him to take his leave. "Well, I'll be going now; you two have fun, alright?" With that, he left the hospital.
"So guess what I found out when I was at home washing up?" Leaf and Gary were walking around the garden behind the hospital. The garden was beautiful, with roses, tulips, sunflowers, orchids, daisies, every type.
Gary raised an eyebrow. "Oh, and what did the lovely Leaf find out?" he tried asking it flirtatiously.
She giggled at his attempt and continued looking ahead. "Oh, you don't know? I thought Drew would've told you by now." She grimaced at Gary's reaction and smirked when it showed confusion. "It turns out that your green haired friend and my brunette friend expressed their love for each other last night, if you know what I mean." She gave her boyfriend a wink and he smirked as well.
"Well shouldn't we feel ashamed. Even two younger people are able to express their love but we, as nineteen year olds, can't even do that. Unless, you wanted to move one step up on our relationship," he purred in her ear.
Blood rushed to her face, making her blush hard and slapped Gary on the arm. "Pervert," she muttered under her breath.
"Oh come on Leaf, you know I was just kidding about that," Gary attempted but she stuck her nose in the air, arms crossed across her chest. A thought came to mind and he wrapped his arms around her waist, despite her attempts to free herself. "Are you going forgive me now?" he whispered in her ear.
"People are staring," Leaf said nervously while avoiding eye contact with the people who were watching them instead of minding their own business.
"Let them stare, I won't let go until you tell me I'm forgiven."
She laughed and nodded her head. "Alright, alright, you're forgiven, happy?"
Gary released her slim waist and grabbed hold of her right hand. "Yes, I am happy now." He flashed Leaf a heartwarming smile and she giggled.
"Come on, Romeo; let's go on a lunch date." She started to drag Gary around from where they came from and headed to the hospital cafeteria. "How do you feel about hospital food?" she jokingly asked.
He stuck his tongue out in disgust. "Yuck, they taste weird." He paused for a moment and looked as if he was thinking about something. "Wait; don't tell me we're eating here."
"Well if the hospital lets you go out then maybe we can go out to somewhere better."
He waved his hand as if it was nothing. "Ah, don't worry about that. Let's go, I just need to grab a few things first."
The two couples shared a happy date that day. Since Gary didn't want to return to the hospital, he headed to the house he and the other guys lived in after he dropped Leaf off home. When he walked in the house, he had a smug look on his face as he was searching for his victim. Once he found his green haired target, a wide smirk appeared on his face as he approached his friend.
"So I heard you and May did it."
Drew jumped slightly by the comment whereas Paul and Ash raised eyebrows. "You and May?" Ash inquired.
The green haired male chuckled nervously. "Did I forget to mention that?" Then his attention diverted to Gary. "And how did even know?"
The said male shrugged. "My girlfriend told me. She found out today when she was washing up at home and told me afterwards. Anyway, back to you, was there protection involved?" he interrogated, eyeing Drew carefully while Paul and Ash leaned in.
Drew's face continued to grow red despite his attempt to fight the blush off. Luckily, it was only a tint of red and he was grateful for that. When he didn't respond in a while, the three guys knew the answer and chuckled. "You do realize that if she gets pregnant you're screwed, right?" Paul stated with Ash and Gary laughing behind him, tears streaming down their faces.
Drew threw them a death glare. "Shut up, she's not going to."
"Just keep telling yourself that, buddy," Gary added in between his laughs.
If looks could kill, Gary would've been six feet under already. "Yeah, you think you're so funny don't you? What's your condition anyway?"
Gary's laugh died down and soon so did Ash's. "My condition?"
"He means what the doctor said about you fainting," Paul explained.
Gary's gaze fell to the floor as he tried to put it simply and clearly. "I have a brain tumor," he muttered loud enough for only his friends to hear.
"You're kidding," Drew said.
Gary shook his head. "I'm not, I'm serious. I just found out today and the only way to get rid of it is through surgery."
"So you're going through with the surgery?" Ash pressed.
"No, if I do, there's only a fifteen percent rate I'll live through it and if I do live, there are also side effects from it," Gary explained in a frustrated tone.
"Did you tell her yet?" Paul asked silently.
The spikes on his head moved along as Gary shook his head. "How do you expect me to tell her? 'Hey Leaf, I have a brain tumor, I'm going to die in three months,'" he asked. Without even letting his friends say something, he continued. "I can't do that! We just got back together and she'll take it as a joke, and think I'm trying to break up with her."
His friends all patted his shoulder. "I'm sure Leaf will understand. She's not the type to jump to conclusions, you know," Ash comforted.
Gary heaved out a sigh. "I know I just need to find the right time to tell her."
"Just tell her soon. That way you won't have to keep complaining," Paul advised. The other three stared blankly at him. "What?" he hissed.
"Who are you and what have you done with Paul?" Drew inquired.
"Because the Paul that we know will never give out advice," Gary added.
Ash made his way to the grumpy male and laid his hand on top of Paul's forehead. "Well, I don't think it's he's sick so maybe he's been replaced by a nice twin," he concluded.
Drew and Gary just blinked at the raven haired male and broke out laughing again. "Oh god, who knew he was this dense?" Drew asked in between his laughs.
As usual, their night was filled with jokes and messing around but this time, they knew they had to make it last while it still can because before they know it, one of their best friends will be gone in a blink of an eye.
Next Day; Leaf's POV
Okay, I'm officially paranoid now. It was now six in the evening and so far, no call from Gary or anything! I've tried calling Professor Oak, his friends and even texted him but nothing; what if something happened to him?
"Leaf, did you want some pizza?" Dawn asked, snapping me out of my train of thoughts. I looked up at her and she was standing at my door frame with a cheese pizza lying on a plate in her hands.
I felt my stomach growled and nodded sheepishly. Dawn giggled lightly and brought the pizza over to me and took a seat beside me on my bed. "Are you still waiting for his call?"
"Well, yeah, we just got back together and I just have this bad feeling inside of me."
"Like what kind of feeling?" she pressed.
I hurled a sigh and looked down at the floor. "I don't even know how to explain it. All I know is that I have this feeling where something will just break us apart. What if he leaves me?"
Dawn smiled. "I doubt he would leave you. I mean, the concert pretty much proved how much he missed you. I'm positive he wouldn't leave after just getting you back and if he does then he's got hell to pay," she joked.
I giggled along with Dawn for a while before going back to my pizza. "I guess I'm just afraid to lose him again," I finally confessed.
Dawn wrapped an arm around my shoulder and pulled me into a side hug. "It's OK now. Everyone's happy and we each got them back, that's all that matters."
Just when she said that, my phone went off and I immediately picked it up without even looking at the caller i.d. "Hello, Gary?"
"Leaf, meet me at the park. I have to show you something." Hearing his voice was all it took to lift my spirits and I think I just felt my smile being even wider, if that was still possible.
"Okay, I'm coming right now," I replied, hoping it didn't come out too eager. Nah, Leaf Green never sounds eager, no matter what! "I'll see you later, bye."
When we hung up, I flashed Dawn a grin and she smiled back, winking at me. "Just remember to use protection unlike May," she advised, giggling.
"HEY!" May shrieked, coming into my room with Misty behind. "It was just one mistake, okay? Besides, it was his fault anyway."
"Yes, May, blame the grass head." Misty, Dawn and I laughed as May glared at us. If looks could kill, I'm pretty sure we would've been dead already.
She crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Sure, make fun of the girl with a boyfriend that has cabbage hair," she huffed.
"Okay, I have to go now or Gary will get mad, bye." I got up and grabbed my bag and keys and escorted myself out of my room and the house.
It wasn't a long car ride to the park actually. It was pretty fast but that's probably because it was about time where most people are eating or something. I don't know the reason but that meant I could see Gary sooner.
Once I got to the park, I parked my car somewhere at the streets and got out, locking the car. I searched around for the spiky hair and frowned when I didn't see it. Did he mean a different park? I mean, I didn't really ask him which park to go to but I would think it was this one since it was kind of the place where we met again. Just when I was about to turn around, someone's hands covered both my eyes. By instinct, I grabbed their arms and flipped them around in front of me, hitting the grass. Thank god Misty taught us girls how to defend ourselves.
When I glanced to see who it was, I was surprised to see Gary on the grass groaning in pain when it struck me that it was him that I just flipped over. I immediately made my way over to him and bent down to help him up. "I'm sorry, but you should've known better to sneak up on me!" I scolded.
"Well how is it my fault that you can even flip someone like that? Who the hell taught you that anyway?" he interrogated.
I laughed sheepishly and looked away. "Misty taught us; hey did you do something with you hair?"
"Don't change the subject, Leafy." I knew he was mocking me with that nickname. He smirked and grabbed my hand. "Okay, I need to show you something now."
I let him lead me to wherever we had to go and then we arrived at big shady Maple tree. I gasped at what was under the tree. Under the tree was a green blanket under a basket of food that sat there waiting to be eaten. Next to the basket was a bouquet of flowers of many kinds and a smile immediately crept onto my face as I looked up at Gary, who was smirking down on me. "Do you like what I'm showing you?"
I nodded. "You did all this?"
"Yeah, that's why I couldn't call you or see you today until now. I wanted everything to be perfect so will you forgive me?"
I giggled and smirked up at him. "Well, we would have to see how good the food is first. Now come on, I want to try your cooking." I dragged him to the picnic he set up for us and we both sat down on the blanket while he brought the food out.
He brought out a plate of spaghetti and a grin was soon plastered on my face. "These are still your favorite right?" he asked. I nodded furiously and he chuckled. "You didn't change one bit, did you?" he inquired.
"Did you want me to change?"
He shook his head. "No, but even if you did change it wouldn't change the fact that I love you."
I tried my best not to blush from the comment and giggled. "You're so cheesy. Now, c'mon, I'm hungry and this looks great."
He simply rolled his eyes but started eating with me nonetheless. So that's what happened in the past half hour, we ate, joked, laughed and did everything we once did when we still together. But there was this knot inside of me. It felt like it was telling me something, something that's important and I studied Gary's face. Somehow, his laughs and smiles now were just forced. At first, yes, it was real but now, just felt forced; did something happen yesterday at the hospital?
"Hey Leaf," he called, snapping me from my thoughts. When he got my full attention, he continued. "Can I ask you something?"
"You just did," I replied jokingly. He gave me a serious look. "Okay, ask away."
He locked his eyes with mine and his eyes were solemn and that was surprising. "If I were to die tomorrow, would you miss me?"
What was he talking about? "Of course I would miss you. Why are you asking something like this?" He stayed quiet. "Tell me," I demanded.
The seriousness from his eyes disappeared and was replaced with sadness, something that was rare. "Forget about me."
Oh no, don't tell me. "Are you breaking up with me?" I tried to make it as a statement but I couldn't. The shock was too much.
"No, but –"
"Then why the hell would you tell me to forget about you?" I yelled. "If you're going to break up with me, then just say it already! Please, Gary, just say it to get it over with already," I begged. I was grateful my voice didn't crack.
"Leaf, I'm only doing this for you."
"Then tell me why this is for me," I demanded. "Lie to me, give me an excuse as to why you would want to break up with me, you remember how to lie right?" I choked out. "Do you want my help to come up with a lie for you?"
"Leaf." His voice was strained and his eyes were soft. "I'm going to die in a few months." My eyes widened as he continued. "I have a brain tumor and I only have three months to live."
I searched his eyes for any lies. None. Then that meant he was telling the truth, he really was going to die in a few months. "That's the worst way to reject someone," I whispered, tears streaming down my face.
He wrapped his pair of strong arms around me and pulled me into a hug. "That's why you have to forget about me, Leaf. Are you happy now?" he asked softly.
I looked up at him and attempted to smile. "Then that means you should live your life while you still can, huh?" He gave me a confused look. "Come on, we're going to the mansion."
He tried protesting as I was dragging him with me all the way back to my car but I ignored him anyway. Even in the car ride, he kept questioning me but a smirk remained on my face, keeping my mouth shut and he just stopped the questioning after a while. I knew for a fact that no one was going to be home tonight because the girls told me about their dates so we had the whole house to ourselves. Once I got to the driveway, we both exited my car and made our way to the mansion and up to my room. From there, he finally got the message and that night, all our worries were gone.
