A/N: This story continues after my first story, A Day To Hope. I got the idea for this piece after listening to my Paramore CD and realizing the lyrics are perfect for Moonlight. I can't help my MickBeth obsession, but I decided to give Josef some action as well because he was feeling left out. This takes place about a week after The Beach Scene of "Fated to Pretend". Maureen did not die and Mick is still human. So, without my continued rambling, here is my latest story and remember, reviews are always Awesome!! XD
Beth sat at her computer desk, typing furiously so she could return home. It was nearly midnight. Despite the recent death of her boyfriend Josh, Maureen felt that Beth had been given enough time to grieve and insisted she come back to work to, "go on with her life". Although she had yet to put away all her remnants of Josh, she did finally talk to Mick. Their time at the beach had showed her how much she truly cared for him, no matter what he was. She finished typing her last paragraph when her cell phone rang loudly from her purse. She fished it out and checked the caller ID—Mick.
"Hello." She answered in a tired voice.
"Hey Beth, are you okay?" he replied worriedly before realizing the time. "I'm sorry to call this late. I hope I didn't wake you."
"Oh no, Mick, I'm still at Buzzwire. I'm about to leave actually. I've been here since 9 in the morning, and I can't wait to go home and get some rest." She paused to yawn, "So, what's up?" Beth continued as she headed toward her car.
"Oh, um, well it's no big deal. I'll jus—"Mick began but was cut off by her voice.
"No it's okay, Mick. Just tell me what it is." She remarked as she started up her car.
"Uh, well Josef is coming over and he needs your help with something for his business. I think he said something about charity…"
"Okay…well, does he need my help now, or can I go home?" Beth asked slightly annoyed. She knew Mick complained about Josef just showing up and bugging him, but she never thought he would bother her.
"Yes, because he's leaving to New York this morning in about two hours." Mick answered back, understanding the ridiculousness about the situation with Josef.
"Why is he going to New York?" Beth asked. There was a moment of silence from the other end and then Beth realized. "Oh, Sarah! I forgot…" her voice faded as she thought about Josef's past love. She still had a hard time believing it. C'mon, Josef Kostan—in LOVE? Who would have guessed? Part of her felt sorry for Sarah; she finally convinced Josef to turn her and then she goes into coma. Poor guy—vamp. I wonder if he will ever try to be with someone else. He did have all of eternity. "Okay, Mick, should I go to your place?" Beth asked, now feeling sorry for being annoyed with Josef.
"Yeah, Josef will be here in a few minutes. Beth, I'm sorry. I know you are tired, but I can't really help Josef out with this one and for one thing, he's--well, not felling too good right now." Mick commented sadly. Beth's curiosity peaked, but she decided to wait until she reached Mick's apartment to ask questions.
"All right, I'll see you in 10 minutes." She confirmed and hung up. What does Josef need my help with? She asked herself as she headed for Mick's.
