His lips were soft and gentle, our tongues moving in perfect sink.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I lay on his lap, my head lying carelessly on his shoulder.

Hours had passed, there was no sign of any police officer especially ones with my drug test!

"Can I ask you a question?" Mason whispered into my ear.

"Coarse"

"Who are you? Where are you from?" he chuckled.

"It's complicated!" I stated. I turned my head so Mason wouldn't see the tears well up in my eyes.

"Trust me nothing's as complicated as my life" He said.

I turned my head and stared him blankly in the eyes, "You wanna bet?" I giggled sadly,

"How much?" He laughed quietly.

"Well you see I've been missing three and a half years so I'm flat broke!" I chuckled,

"Wait you're Veronica Merrell, like the Veronica Merrell who was pronounced dead last year?" Mason asked in disbelief.

"Yeah that's me!" I sighed,

"I forfeit!" Mason laughed.

"What?"

"From the bet, I forfeit"

"Oh ok so I guess you get a punishment then" I stated giddly.

"I guess so" he laughed.

I sat in silence trying to conjure a perfect punishment, Then it came to me!

"Ok I have something!" I stated loudly but nervously,

"Go ahead" he urged.

"Do you like me?"

He didn't answer for what felt like years!

"Well it depends Veronica Merrell!" He laughed, gazing into my eyes.

"What?"

"If you're high or drunk!" He chuckled.

I playfully punched his arm bursting into a fit of laughter "Mason you know I'm not high or drunk!"

"Veronica Merrell, I like you! I mean I really like you! But in case you are drunk or high I don't want to be left after the hangover" He joked.

I was about to reply but I was quickly pulled in for a long sweet passionate kiss.

"I like you too" I whispered as we pulled apart.

I was exhausted!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We waited even longer, it must have been hours, waiting in the damp bland waiting room.

By now we both sat in individual chairs, our fingers intertwined.

"You know Veronica Merrell?" Mason whispered,

"Mason you know you can call me Veronica or Roni" I said,

"Veronica Merrell has more of a natural beautiful roll to the tongue" Mason stated happily causing me to laugh.

"What were you gonna say?" I asked interested.

"You surprize me!"

"In what way?" I questioned.

"Five hours ago I found you traumatized next to your dead sister and now you could laugh at anything!" He stated amazed.

I quickly released his hand from mine, throwing it back to him. I turned my head in the opposite direction, curled my legs up to by chest as the tears stung my eyes.

"Veronica..." Mason began but I cut him off,

"Do you realise how insensitive you are being! Could you not figure out I am trying my gosh damn hardest to take my mind off earliers incident! Do you think I am that heartless!? That I would actually for one second EVER forget about what just happened to her!" I cried.

"Veronica I'm sor..." Mason tried to apologise but I cut him off again,

"The part that got me the most is that you think I could actually have real happiness inside me at the moment" I bellowed.

"I was right then! I am one of those guys! You're just gonna toss me off as soon as you feel just an inch better!" He stated angrily with a hint of hurt in his voice. "You make me sick!" He spat in my face, he got up and approached the door, slamming it on his way out.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My eyes darted open!

My hands were soaking from my sweat, they were still intertwined with Masons long musily fingers.

"You ok there?" Mason questioned concerned,

"Um yeah... I guess I had a nightmare!" I answered shakily.

I could feel droplets of sweat sliding down my forehead, My whole body felt overheated!

"I-I'm just gonna get some fresh air" I stated.

I stood up abruptly causing myself to stumble forwards towards the door, Mason ran up to me. I clutched onto the rail on the wall.

"Veronica are you sure you're ok?" Mason asked, concern washed over his face,

"I-I don't know" I replied collapsing my head onto his shoulder.

He gently took my hand and led me outside, we sat down on a bench.

People had engraved their names into the stone cold metal bench, causing pieces of it to be pointy and painful to sit on.

"You feeling any better?" Mason questioned.

I closed my eyes and took a long breath in and out, I felt my lungs fill with freezing refreshing air. I slowly nodded.

I glanced up to the stars, they reminded me of the dream I had one night, of Nessa and I gazing into each glistening star.

"Oh look!" Mason whispered, pointing to an opposite direction.

I turned my head to see the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen in my entire life, the sky was full of bright colors such as pink, orange, purple, red and yellow!

It brought back the time where Nessa and I said our last Peaceful goodbye, I had just let go to see her one last time! We hugged, argued a little but gazed into the beautiful sunset. But then He ruined it!

"Let's get back inside, you look freezing!" Mason interrupted.

He took my hand and wrapped me in his large cosy jacket.

"Thank you!" I whispered.

We slowly walked back inside to face a pair of police officers.

"Miss Merrell, you've decided to return?" A police officer stated sarcastically,

"We were just getting some air!" Mason defended.

"Miss Merrell, your tests came back and you were telling the truth" The women police officer stated.

I felt like shouting 'I told you so'! in her face but if I did I could get in serious trouble.

"We have bigger news Miss Veronica, we tracked down your records and found some contact numbers. The first one didn't' work but it left a voicemail of a young female named Vanessa Merrell who I believe was found and pronounced dead earlier this evening, am I correct?"

"Yes that's correct!" I answered as tears stung my eyes.

"The second number answered and the man went by the name Paul Merrell, Do you know him?" She asked formally.

"Y-y-yeah he's my dad!" I answered excitedly,

"Well we called him and his wife in and they should arrive shortly" She informed me.

"Thank you" I whispered happily.

"Veronica I will be right back I just have to pop to the bathroom!" Mason said.

I sat down giddily in await to see my parents.

I heard the squeak of the entrance doors opening, I looked up to see my dad and my mom.

They stared at me blankly, surprise spread across their faces!

"Mommy, Daddy!" I whispered, standing up.

"Oh my gosh Veronica! It's you! It's actually you!" My Dad shouted running towards me, scooping me into a hug, my mom joined in crying with joy.

"We thought you were gone forever!" My mom cried.

I slowly pulled out of the hug realizing something.

"Honey are you ok?" My dad questioned concerned.

"It's Nessa... she... she was pronounced dead" I cried,

"Veronica hun, Nessa passed almost four years ago" My mom explained, patting my back gently.

"But they have her body..." I whispered
