What's Been Broken Can Be Fixed
Emma drove for about twenty minutes before she pulled over the car at an old barn that they were all to familiar with. Audrey looked at her with wide eyes. Emma smiled. "Don't worry, I'm not taking you on another hunt. This was our favorite place before it became part of this creeps game. I just want us to relive the best moments before something bad happens."
Audrey gave her a soft smile before replying. "That's sweet and everything but what about the very recent bad memories in this place? Not to mention people died here and we just got into a fight here."
"Well, this was our only place we could be ourselves at. Can you honestly tell me another safe place that me and you had?"
Audrey laughed softly. "Yes. I can actually tell you my favorite place. My favorite place was with you. Emma, it is you. No matter where we were, as long as you were there, I was happy. Let me take you somewhere."
Emma reached over and hugged Audrey before getting out and letting Audrey drive. Emma ended up falling asleep in the car and Audrey made sure not to wake her before they got where they were going. Audrey softly woke Emma up then helped her out of the car. Emma then realized where they were. They were at Emma's house. Emma glanced at Audrey while they were walking to her front door. "I guess this is part of your favorite place because it's my house."
Audrey laughed, "Sure. Whatever you say. You said that you want to focus on the good memories. In my opinion, there are some pretty good memories here."
As the went in, Emma's mom was on her way out. "Hey girls. Emma, I'm going to be gone for tonight. Have a good night girls."
Emma and Audrey waved goodbye as the went into Emma's room. Emma sat down while Audrey opened the closet and pulled out some old camping gear. "Audrey, what are you doing? I thought we were spending the night at my house."
Audrey responded without turning to look at the blonde. "We are. In your back yard though. Remember when you were sad and you used our old walkies and then I would sneak out of my house just so we could go camping in your back yard. We always thought we were being sneaky but then we found out that my dad and your mom knew the whole time."
Emma smiled at the memory of them being so little and doing all of that. "I think one of my most favorite memories was the next morning, before I woke up, you would sneak into my house and make some hot chocolate then put it in those little plastic water bottles. It always was cold by the time I would wake up and that made me sad so you started waiting until I was awake before you would drink yours. It was so sweet because you didn't want me to be the only one drinking cold hot chocolate by myself."
Audrey chuckled, "I was very corny about that kind of stuff back then. But to be honest, I would most likely do the same thing."
It took them a little while to get everything outside and set up but by the time they were done, they were tired. As they laid down, Emma whispered softly into Audrey's ear. "Thank you for this, Audrey. This truly means the world to me. I'm so sorry I pushed you away after middle school. You were my... well you were my everything."
Audrey held Emma closer as they both fell asleep. Emma got woken up by Audrey's shivering. It was about midnight so she kissed Audrey's cheek and covered her up more before she fell back to sleep. That night meant a lot to both of the girls. Just knowing that no matter what happens, the other will always be there for them and whatever is this killers next game, it will only make them stronger.
Sunrise came to quickly for the both of them. Emma wasn't surprised to wake up and see Audrey holding two plastic bottles of hot chocolate. Emma was, however surprised to see that her hot chocolate was warm. her eyes met Audrey's and Audrey just shrugged then said, "Hey, some things do change. and plus it's cold out and hot chocolate will keep you warm because your a wimp when it comes to the cold."
Emma ignored the last part of that as she hugged Audrey. Emma whispered in Audrey's ear. "Thank you again. We should do this more often. To relive old memories."
Audrey shook her head. "No, I want us to make memories. I will always love our old memories but I want some new ones to add to that."
