Chapter 7 - At The Movies
Warnings: Short Chapter
"Kill me please." I mutter to myself, rolling my eyes.
"Shh." Faith shushed me.
"I'll be back. I'm going to the bathroom and maybe get some candy. I would rather rot my teeth than my brain with this romance garbage." I say as I get up from my seat, not waiting for a response.
How and why they managed to convince me to see that sort of movie is beyond me.
"Urg…" I shiver as I get chills up my spine. "I hate that romantic crap. I should see if another movie is playing with more action or thrill."
Stepping inside the bathroom, I do my business and wash my hands before stepping back out with my phone in my hands.
"Hm… this one looks good." I say as I find a movie playing now that seems much better than the one I was just at. "Time to get some popcorn and maybe a drink this time around."
Walking back to the counter where the food and snacks are, I get in line and text Faith that I was going to see a different movie and that I would meet up with them later.
"I can't believe we just did that." A girl roughly my age says to her friend in front of me.
"I know! I mean, I don't like how we had to kiss her but she said we'll be the richest and most popular girls in the city soon!" Her friend replied.
'Sounds like someone sold their soul.' I think to myself as I looked around.
But, where could a crossroads possibly be at in the area?
"Hmm." I hum to myself. 'Maybe they didn't…'
"You gotta admit, for a demon she was pretty." The first girl said.
"Yeah…I guess." The second girl said, turning back and noticing I was behind them. "Hey…" I glanced to her. "You didn't hear any of that, right?"
"…Yeah I sort of did." I said, trying to pull a straight face but failed since I can't lie well.
"Oh….what do you think of it?" She asked.
"….of demons?" I question and she nods slowly. "I mean, they're mostly lying assholes. But at least they respect the whole 10 years thing."
"Oh that's nice." The girl smiled.
"Wait. What about 10 years?" The first girl asked.
"Didn't the crossroads demon tell you? You get 10 years to live after selling your soul." I reply with a frown.
"No! She didn't tell us that!" She said, freaking out. "How can we get out of our deal?"
"I'm afraid you can't." I say.
"Oh no…" She shook her head.
"Huh? What's that?" The other girl pointed to the floor. "It's… oh my god it's a lottery ticket!"
"Oh so that's how you're going to get rich." I said.
"Come on! Let's go see if she's right!" The second girl says, dragging her friend out of the movie theater.
"Dummies..." I shake my head and step up to the counter.
After getting my drink and popcorn, I walk back to the theater where the movie was already playing in.
"Hello darling." Crowley says as I round a corner.
"Oh fuck me." I step back, startled. "You're going to give me a heart attack one of these days…"
"Maybe that's the plan." He smirked.
"Maybe I should stab you before that, yeah?" I question.
"What are you doing?" He asked, changing the subject.
"Going to see a new movie while Faith and Kevin are seeing some romance one." I replied as I started walking that way, with him following.
"Not into romance movies?" Crowley asks.
"God no. I would rather be choked to death than sit through that movie any longer." I giggled.
"Well, surely you'll need some company." Crowley said.
"By all means, make this party of one a party of two." I shrug as he opens the door for me and follows me inside.
"So you do trust me?" He whispers.
"Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe I just don't want to be lonely." I reply as we find two seats next to each other.
- Later -
At some point during the movie, Crowley glances at his phone and says how he has to leave.
About 20 minutes later, the movie finishes and I go out to meet up with Faith and Kevin.
"Hey, how was that movie?" Faith asks.
"Not bad but I wish I knew how it started." I chuckle.
"Yeah well, do you know who we saw?" She asks and I nod.
"I already know." I smile.
"And?" Kevin asks.
"And what?" I question. "We just had a good quiet time, watching a movie together."
"No bad feelings about him being a monster?" Faith asks.
"No but I guess there's a crossroads nearby cause I ran into two girls who sold their souls earlier." I reply.
"Oh great…" Faith rolled her eyes.
"Yeah. That happened." I said. "Come on, let's go home."
After glancing at each other, they followed behind me and out the doors to the parking lot.
- At home -
We walked inside and was greeted by Faith's cats. I put my purse down and walk upstairs, knowing Coco is usually sleeping on my bed.
"Coco, I'm home." I turn the light on and walk up to her.
She wags her tail slowly and makes a move to get up but clearly had a hard time doing so.
"Darling? You okay?" I ask her, kneeling down as Coco tries again and whines to me this town. "Oh no…" I mutter as the tears start forming in my eyes. "Okay. Hang on a little while longer." I kiss her before getting a blanket to wrap her up in to take her to the Vet.
