Chapter 50: Meet Me At Midnight

I sat under the lights of the vending machine. Kit gave Joe the keys to the house in case he wanted to go back to the house, which he decided to do. He just asked for us to update him once we knew stuff.

Kit had walked over at sat next to me and put his hand on my knee.

"How you doing?"

"Terrible. I keep thinking about how I'm probably gonna die at midnight.."

"You aren't gonna die."

"You don't know that.."

"I don't, but you can only hope."

I put my head on his shoulder.

"If I die, just know I'm haunting you."

"I wouldn't want it any other way."

My mother made us go home around 10. She promised she'd call us with updates.

I hugged her tight, extra tight in case it was my last time.

"I love you Mom."

"I love you too Kiddo.."

My Mother was going to break down once I left. She's strong, but not strong enough to carry the fact her husband could die in surgery and her only daughter could die tonight.

I let Kit drive as I just stared out the window. As we left I could see my mother sliding down the wall in tears.

My father being shot was already all of the internet.

NFL player Travis Kelce in surgery after being shot in the arm.

I stared at my phone until Kit had parked in an empty parking lot and took my phone.

"Hey- wait why did we stop?"

"Two reasons. For one, you need to stop whatever the fuck is going on in your head right now. You just keep telling yourself that you're going to die. You don't know that."

"Okay but-"

"Shut up. I'm not done-"

Why was this hella attractive? He was basically yelling at me. I've never seen this side of him before.

"Yes sir-"

"Two, there's something I need to do in case.."

"Do what?"

Kit had reached in the back of the car.

"This wasn't the exact setting I was thinking for this but-"

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

It's a little blue velvet box.

"Are you proposing to me right now?"

"What- no- okay I can see how you'd think I'm proposing-"

"I would've said yes."

"Actually? Cause I might have just lied out of fear."

Kit opened up the box.

"Fuck okay.. Alexia Bailey.."

"Yes. Fucking yes. You don't even have to finish that question."

Kit had slid the ring on my finger. He kissed me. I had smiled.

"Wow, Alexia Connor has such a nice ring to it."

"Oh shut up."

"How long ago did you buy this ring?"

"Like 3 weeks ago."
