A NOTE

I sat near Amanda and held her shoulders. How can two teens love each other better than adults do?

Robert walked back to the car. I held Amanda's hands and removed the handcuffs.

She wasn't crying, she was just staring at the river. Her eyes and face looked tired. She looked like a dead person with a beating heart.

I saw a small bulging in his shirt pocket, lying on a rock. I picked it up and saw a piece of paper. It read,

' I killed Godwin and buried him in the thorn forest.'

To the end of the paper was his sign. The lake is known for it's rapidly moving nature. It's almost impossible to save him from the lake. His body must have reached another state perhaps.

I folded the paper and kept it inside my pocket.

"Can I go home?" She asked, her eyes still focused on the lake.

"Ya, I'll take you home."

I held her hands and walked her to the car. She was walking just because of my force. She clearly didn't have any energy left, even to cry her heart out.

Robert stopped in front of her house, but she just sat in the car looking down.

"Can you take me to Virchys?" She asked.

Without responding anything, he drove the car to Lijah's house. I still couldn't believe their love!

She opened the door and walked to his house.

The door was left open. Mrs. Paul came running from her house, seeing the car and Amanda.

" What is it Ma'am?" She asked.

" Uh..

I didn't know how to say this to her. I was not sure how she would react.

I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Robert, he winked both of his eyes and stepped forward.

I didn't want to go after Amanda. So, I got in the car.

" Lijah Virchy's belongings has been found near the Deep Blue Lake, Vinlex. Send our team along with professional swimmers to the lake. And a search team to thorn forest." I spoke through the radio transceiver with no hope in finding even Lijah's dead body. I looked out the window and saw Mrs. Paul crying on her knees.

Finally that day arrived, the end of the investigation. Godwin did deserve a pathetic ending, maybe that was Bella's last wish. The exact truth behind Godwin's death is still buried. Maybe the girl was the one who killed Godwin, but, if lust is about satisfaction, then love is about sacrifice. And a teenage boy taught me that.
