Super 8 is my favourite film of all time. Got to say that, got most of my inspiration to start writing from the stories, "Special" by DazzleDust22 and "After It All" by Dont-Ever-Forget their all about Super 8 too so check it out! Please feel free to review ;)
I watched Joe hold onto his Mother's locket. It was obvious he didn't want to let it go, but something in him told him he had to. In my mind, I wanted him to let it go. He seemed so sad whenever anyone mentioned his Father especially his Mother. That night, in his bedroom when he was telling me about her, I knew she was always going to be in his heart. I just hoped that in this moment, he'd let go and know what I knew. She'd always be in his heart. I felt like he read my mind right then and there, because he let it go. The locket floated away slowly towards the newly built ship and locked into place between all of the other pieces of metal.
My father and I walked to Joe and his father and altogether, we watched the ship slowly launch into the dark sky. When the water tower beams fell to the ground and exploded, I heard Cary say, "Holy Shit" from behind us. That brought a smirk to Joe's face, and a grin to mine.
No one in the streets took their eyes off of the ship that was heading space bound. I felt a warm hand touch mine; I glanced down and saw Joe slowly attempting to hold my hand. I entwined my hand in his; we knew we had the mutual feelings for each other. I smiled, feeling safe and finally accepted to someone in this world. The ship was nothing but a speck of light in the sky, like a star. Even when the ship was gone, I didn't want to let go of Joe's hand, and I didn't.
"Ali, I'm going to the car. Come by when you're done." My Dad told me, leaving to the jeep with Joe's father.
"Sheesh, that took forever!" Cary said coming to me and Joe.
"GUYS!" Martin yelped, coming towards us with Charles's assistance. Joe dropped my hand and assisted Martin, who was limping with an open would in his lower left leg.
"Holy shit guys, that was mint!" Charles said leaving Martin in Joe's arms and looking at the destruction zone around us. "We have to shoot here in the morning!"
"Charles, nobody cares about you're stupid movie!" Cary said.
Charles ignored him and went scoping around the area, for places to shoot. I agreed with Cary, right now was not the time for Charles to rant about shooting his movie.
We didn't stay in town for long, only about half an hour, just waiting for Martin's parents to pick him up. Cary got a ride home with him. Deputy Lamb got me and Joe and drove me and my Dad home. The ride was silent, but not an awkward silence, a comfortable, quiet silence that I would have never expected between my father and Joe's.
That night, after everything had happened I got into bed around 3 o'clock in the morning. I could just think about Joe. I didn't sleep until light started to appear across the horizon.
Sorry that this chapter was SO short. I'll make the next one a lot longer. Wrote this at 6am, so sorry for my lack of efforts. I'll make the next chapter in Joe's POV. Please review :)
