Unmasking Admirer

Oh, look it's snowing.

"Since were going to be here, for who knows how long." Hopefully not too long. "Why not be comfy. After you." I climbed into the back of the car, then Robin followed. Then she shut the trunk door. "Here, I think this is the only one." She handed me a blanket.

"Well, what are you going to use?"

"It's fine, you look cold." Her teeth were chattering.

"So do you."

"Are we really fighting over, who needs to stay warmer." Haha, I guess we are.

"Let's just share." She nodded her head. We laid down, the cover was barely covering both of us. I turned over to my side. I felt an arm around me.

"Is this okay?" Robin was right up against my back, like literally her front side to my back. We've slept in close proximity but not as close as- we were literally cuddling. "If it's-"

"No..um I mean it's fine." She put her arm back around me. It was nice, don't get me wrong but I can't help but wonder after all this she is still with Brian. And thinking about that, it hurt but there's nothing I can really do.

The next morning, we finally got service and called a tow truck. He dropped me, Robin and her car off at a repair shop, to make sure everything's okay. I called a Uber to get home, I told Robin that I'll call her later. When I got home there were a couple of cop cars outside near my house. I got out of the Uber, "What's going on?!" I asked an officer.

"Young lady, gonna need you to step back."

"Excuse you, sir, I-" I see my dad being escorted in handcuffs. "Dad?! What's going on!"

"Honey, don't worry about me just-" They put him in the back of a squad car. I tried to get closer but the officers wouldn't let me. My dad turned around in the car and I saw him mouth, I love you. I really didn't know what to do, at that point. The rest of the cops drove off and there I was left alone on the side of the road in the cold.

"Okay, I just need to breathe. I can get through this." I took a deep breath and went inside my house. It was tossed, things on the floor, papers everywhere. The couch pillows were thrown on the floor. "What were they looking for?" This is going to be a hassle to clean up.

Finally, I cleaned up the mess the cops made. They really know how to stress a person out. It was nearly 8'oclock at night and still no call, no nothing on my dad. The one person I thought would visit me around this time of night, I haven't spoken to in like two weeks. I don't know if I scared her off or not but I really do hope she's okay. 

My life- *DING!* *DING!* -who the hell is at my house at this time of night? I went downstairs and opened the door and no one was there. "Really!? Ding dong ditch. Why do I-" I began to close the door and noticed that there was a box on my doorstep. I picked it up and closed the door.

"What the heck is this?" I open it and saw a note, it read. Shhhh "Okay? Why- Ahhhh!" It was a dead thingy inside. "Oh.My.God" I looked back at it to see that it was a dead rat. "Who?! What the hell is going on." I was in shock, not really processing the fact that, there was a dead rodent in a box on my kitchen table. I went back upstairs to get on my computer. And messaged the only person I knew I could trust with this stuff.

I felt someone touching me-"Hey, wake up?" -so I jumped on instinct. "It's just me, hey it's just me." It was Jules, I hugged her right away. "You alright? Why are you sleeping, up against you door?" She sat down next to me.

"I..I was- Where have you been?" She looked taken back by that. "Because, the last time we talked it was when-

"We kissed. I know."

"...Have you..been avoiding me?" Jules grabbed my hand.

"Of course not." I intertwined our hands. "It's just..what I do. It's dangerous and I would never wanna put you in any kind of danger." She was looking down, I brought her face up to meet mine, then I kissed her. Her lips as soft as I remembered. I smiled.

"Sorry, I couldn't help myself."

"Oh no, please help yourself." I saw her smirking a little. Haha, I nudged her a little.

"Weirdo. This floor is awfully uncomfortable." I began to get up, Jules helped me up. "Thank you." I went to go lay on my bed. Jules went to go sit in my desk chair.

"..So? Your S.O.S?" SOS? Oh right.

"Yeah, um I got that note. Sent to me and in a box with a dead rat inside." She picked up the note from my desk. "The rat's downstairs, do you want me-"

"Nope, I believe you. Um, when did this happen?"

"A couple hours after...my father." Oh my god, why didn't I put it all together sooner.

"What about your dad?"

"He..they arrested him earlier today. So I assume, the assholes who were responsible for my mom's murder-"

"Think your dad knew something he wasn't supposed to know." Yeah, but why, arrest him. Why not just ask him to come in? "But, if that's true you know the only reason he would know anything incriminating is if-"

"If what?"

"If he got involved also?" I sat up from my bed and looked at Jules confused.

"No, Jules your wrong. He would never."

"But you-

"Can we not." She backed off the topic. I laid back down, all this was just too much. I'm an 18-year old who just lost her mom and now my dad might be a criminal. Jules got up from the chair. "Wait? Are you leaving?"

"Yeah, you look tired. I thought-"

"Stay. Please." She looked surprised a first then she walked over to me. I scooted over and she laid down next to me. I turned on my side, I sleep better this way. A second later I felt Jules behind me. I turned my face to her's.

"Sorry, I-"

"No, it's fine. It's just a familiar feeling." She smiled

A/N: Robin and Michelle cuddling, oooo. Haha, those two are too cute. Ah crap, what did Mr. Riverson do now? Getting arrested? Good parenting or nah? That package tho. Ayee, Jules to the rescue, sort of. Omg, they kissed again. Ahhh. And to end the night more cuddling. I see you, Michelle. I see you. Any feedback is good feedback. Thanks For Reading.
