For white crayons :)
It must be great to never be used.
Chapter Ten
Winding circles take me back to
A place I knew when I was with you
Fallin' in the space between the universe
And all we see has gone away
KEVIN
"This is so amazing, Kevin," Tricia complimented, grinning. She gazed out into the ocean, running her fingers through the warm sand. "Just a few more weeks." She paused; her smile faded. "You're not getting cold feet, are you?" My breath caught in my throat at the thought.
"What?! No! How could you even think that? I love you," I rambled. She shook her head, smiling again.
"I love you, too. I just don't want you to leave me." I took her hand in mine.
"Never. I would never leave you." I leaned in to kiss her, but just before I could, my phone went off. Tricia giggled and I frowned, pulling out my phone. "Hello?"
"Kevin? They're gone," Joe said, sounding panicked.
"Calm down, Joe. Who's gone?" I asked, trying to maintain my composure.
"Nick, Steenie, and...Ellie - " He choked out Ellie's name. " - are gone. I can't find them anywhere."
"Maybe they went for a drive, or a movie, or something," I said, attempting to sound calm. But inside I was panicking, too.
"Nick's car is still here. Something bad is going on. I can feel it."
JOSEPH
After getting off the phone with Kevin, I sat down at the kitchen table, the same place I had yelled at Ellie not long ago.
Kim placed her hands on my shoulders. "Are you this tense all the time?" she asked jokingly.
"Only when I don't have Ellie," I answered. "And knowing that Antonio could take her away from me at any time..." my voice trailed off. She sighed and sat down on my lap.
"You know what I think? She doesn't even deserve you. You're way too good for her. Besides, you have me now." I leaned my forehead against hers and mustered up my best smile.
"Yeah," I agreed. "You're right. Thanks, Kimmy Cake."
Sorry about the wait.
