3 days left...
Toby had spent the entirety yesterday and all that morning trying to find Alissia. He finally looked up Layla's chip number on his computer and found out she was in Jeneta. He drove his car the 20 miles to the town and followed the tracker on his phone.
He figured it would be more convenient if he switched to his mobile device, and he found her on Senicle Street. He pulled up in front of a house that looked like it was decorated for Halloween still and he rolled his eyes.
Toby got out of his car and knocked on the door and was shocked by the person who answered, "Jasmine?" He said and she scuffed.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" She asked and Toby put up hands defensively.
"I'm looking for Alissia Nightingale, she's my-" Toby started to explain but Jasmine cut him off.
"I'm well aware of who and what she is too you. However, why should I let you see her after what you did?" Jasmine asked and before Toby could reply Alissia popped up from behind her.
"It's alright Jasmine, what do you want Toby?" She asked and Toby sighed.
"I'm sorry for making that wish, I know it was wrong and I just couldnt help it I'm in love with you." Toby said and Alissia rolled her eyes.
"No, you are not in love with me. That's just the convenient way of getting to my heritage, you know I will be President one day and you want that." Alissia challenged him and Toby looked shocked.
"That's cruel to say when I just poured my heart out to you." Toby replied and Jasmine stepped in.
"Absolutely fucking not! You are not going to stand on my doorstep and try and gaslight her! Nothing you say means shit!" Jasmine said and Alissia nodded.
"I don't forgive you, and I won't be going with you. I suggest you leave and get a new job." Alissia said and Toby slammed his hand agonist the door as Jasmine tried to close it.
"You aren't going to reject me!" Toby shouted at Alissia and Jasmine stood between them.
"What are you going to do? Kill her like you did Willow?" Jasmine asked aggressively and Toby stepped back.
"Why do you think I killed her? It was an accident! I did nothing!" He said and Jasmine shook her head.
"That's not her side of it, you don't accidentally cut a brake line Toby." Jasmine said and she remained calm with her arms crossed over her chest glaring at him.
"How do you know about that?" He asked confused on how anyone could have known, not even Skylar knew what he did.
"She told me, you know I'm a witch and can commune with the dead dumbass." Jasmine said and Toby backed out the door.
"I'll leave but you can't tell anyone." He said and Jasmine rolled her eyes.
"We will see about that." She slammed the door and locked the handle, deadbolt, and put in the burglar chain.
"We should call Skylar and ask her to come over and figure out what to do." Alissia said holding Layla tightly to her chest.
Jasmine put a comforting hand on her shoulder, "I'll call her, for now go sit down and relax I'll make you some tea." Jasmine said and Alissia nodded and went and sat down.
She wasn't sure how the hell it ever had come to this. Alissia was angry, and confused she wished she was back home with her parents. All Toby ever gave was fake apologies and empty promises, she shouldn't have forgiven him the first time. Once Sapphire arrived she would make sure he paid for his crimes.
