[Thank you to everyone who has reviewed my story! You really help me a lot!]
After a chase around the parking lot, we finally apprehended Twitch.
"I wasn't doing anything! Honest! Please don't lock me up in that car again! Please!" He fell to the ground and grabbed onto Stanley's legs, begging.
"I don't know, it's up to the guys." Twitch smiled up at the other members of D-Tent.
"Well, I don't know." Squid played with the toothpick in between his teeth.
"You have to promise not to hot-wire a car or touch a car as long as you live."
"I promise, I promise!" He shook his head and smiled.
"Stanley, hand me your keys please." I caught the keys as he tossed them to me and dangled them in Twitch's face. "And if you even look at my car…well…you'll find out." I smiled and laughed. "Juuuust kidding."
We all walked back into the mall, again and began to look at the stores.
"Ooh! Kohls!" I grabbed Stanley's hand and we went with Zero into the store, while everyone else kept on walking.
"Do we have to go shopping?" Zero looked disgusted.
"Um, we're at a mall. That's what you do here." He sighed.
"If you need me, I'll be in the shoe store." He walked off and I rushed over to the women's section and Stanley was right behind me. I began flipping through some cute summer shirts when Stanley's hand covered mine.
"Deyna, what's wrong." I moved my hand and continued moving down the rack.
"Nothing's wrong." He stopped me again.
"Deyna, I know something's wrong. What is it?"
"I told you. I'm fine."
"No, you're not."
"Stanley, please. Not here."
"Why not?" I turned to him and spoke angrily.
"I can't tell you right now. I just can't." I began to cry and he held me close, like he always did when I needed him.
"It's okay, I'm sorry. Stop crying, we're in a store." I stopped crying and slapped him on his arm.
"Don't be sassy." I kissed him lightly, knowing how much he hated it. "Back to clothes shopping."
I finally picked out a few blouses, a jacket, some pants and some earrings. I paid for it and we left the store.
We sat down in the food court, waiting for the rest of the group.
"I hope that they get here soon. I'm so tired." I yawned and lowered my head on Stanley's shoulder.
"Deyna, who is that woman?" I looked up and glanced at a strange woman who was looking at us from another table.
"I don't know. I've never seen her before."
"She looks familiar somehow." Stanley was staring back at her until she got up and walked towards us.
"Pumpkin! Oh my baby! I've finally found you!" She ran up to me and hugged me.
"Who are you?"
"Why, Deyna! I'm your mother!"
