"How was the ride?" The message came. Derek tried to calm hi heart. He wished he could see her, hug her and cry his heart out once again. But would it ever possible he wondered. John knocked on the door again. But Derek did not open it. He knows it's not his father's fault but he is a part of it anyway. And moreover Derek was too humiliated, ashamed and a little hurt to face his parents. He had no idea how to go speak or engage in conversation when the needs come. His wounds stinked. He laid on the bed. He chose to reply her.
"Why are you still up?" he asked.
The reply was instant.
'I was watching a movie," she said.
"Which?"
"Last First Love," she replied.
"Hmm i have not watched it yet," he said smiling. 'I wanted to watch that with you,' he thought.
"Dinner?"
"Yes I had," he sent back.
"Where did you go?"
"Just around the town," He did not know how to introduce the matter. But he has to anyway.
"Something happened!" he finally texted.
