I know I told you to forget about me. Please don't. I was wrong, and I'm sorry.
I just want to be somewhere I don't have to be scared all the time. You're my father. You can see it on the report. Please don't let them take me away before I get to meet you.

MELODY
Since we last spoke, I had been on edge. I’d been anticipating him coming back home to tell me more. After Aubrey and I parted ways, I went back to the hotel and took a shower. I worked on my book some more and took a nap.
Keenan was the number one thing on my mind. I could feel that I was close to getting him back. Around 10 pm there was a knock on the door.
I opened it before Justice could knock a second time.
“Hey,” I greeted, wrapping my arms around him.
“You seem like you’re forgiving me more and more,” he said, then kissed me.
“I guess so.” I smirked.
“You ready?”
“Been ready. Where’s Storie?” I asked.
“At Quest’s. She’s spending the night. I’ll get her in the morning.”
“You’ve had a long day. How was the ride to Pittsburgh?” I asked.
“It was okay. I’m going to miss Dream but Storie…”
“Storie, what?”
“She saw when you called. I think that put her on edge. I just hope she doesn’t do anything stupid.”
“We’ll be okay,” I said, holding him close.
“I need you to know you ain’t gotta prove shit to me tonight. I know it ain’t in your nature to kill.”
I nodded.
“If you wanna leave, we leave. Aight?” he asked.
“And then what?”
He watched me for a moment.
“He’s getting handled no matter what.”
“Thank you.”
He nodded and grabbed my hand to lead me out.
