after what seemed like a long week, full of assignments and endless papers. jackson was free! well at least for the weekend. he had nothing left to work on and he double checked to make sure there wasn't something he was forgetting to do. he planned on going into town with some friends and hanging around the games and grabbing some food. after that who knows? he just knew he was going to have some long needed fun.
the group was split between two cars and once they had arrived they started to plan. their first stop was for sure the corn maze, games and of course food. the night was still young and a few others like jackson had the same idea. getting something to eat. he walked around taking in what was available. once he spotted something, he waited for his turn to order. which was good, since he wasn't sure on what all to get.

 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LOVE WILL NEVER BE FOREVER feelings are just like the weather- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Donovan had been working in the office all day. He leaned back in his chair before slowly standing up and stretching. He than grabbed his heavy coat and headed out of the office for his walk home. The walk was nice and peaceful and he found himself watching as others had passed by him, most likely headed towards the activities happening around town. He continued walking, as he made his way towards the corn maze. It had been a while since the last time he had walked through one after all. He kept his pace slow, allowing others to pass by him as they appeared to be in a rush to exit. Once he arrived at the end of the corn maze, he headed towards the food stands before getting in line, thinking of getting a Caramel apple.

it was like he hadn't had food in a long time. he looked over the menu provided debating over one thing or another. he knew he would have to make a decision once it came to be his turn. he let his friends go ahead of him to give him a bit more time. everything just sounded so good. he started with what he for sure knew what he wanted. fries.
they handed his his food and he made his way over to an empty table next to his friends. he had settled for cheese fries, two slices of pizza and a raspberry slushy. he would have to save room for dessert. as he ate he check his phone. making sure he was responding to all of his sister's text messages. the last thing he wanted for was her to show up and hang out with his friends. not that they would mind, but even so. she needed to let him have fun once in awhile.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LOVE WILL NEVER BE FOREVER feelings are just like the weather- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Donovan watched as the line slowly moved and soon it was his turn. He ordered a Caramel apple and withdrew his wallet to pay for it. He pulled out some cash, taking his change in return with a receipt before placing his wallet back into his pocket. They gave him a Caramel apple and he gladly took it before exiting the line to go find a spot to eat it. It seemed there were quite a few people eating here and there and so the places to eat were limited. He heard a scream from nearby, he turned in that direction to see a group of teens. Soon there was laughter, proving it had been a joke within the group. Instincts... It is hard to push them aside when the whole point of being here was for the sake of having a little bit of fun. He thought to himself with a small smile before he found himself hearing in the direction Jackson was currently at.

the group chatted while they ate. talking and making plans about what would be next after they finished their food. he had been eating and staring at his phone when things got silent. that was when he looked up to see what was happening. though before he could open his mouth to say something he managed to catch what they were looking at or rather who they were looking at.
you would have to be living under a rock to know who that was. he took another bite of his food and hoped the chief wouldn't grace them with his presence. it wasn't that the group didn't like officers, it just seemed to ruin the vibe. that was it.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LOVE WILL NEVER BE FOREVER feelings are just like the weather- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Donovan had plans of passing by, not having a reason to talk with anybody at Jackson's table. Though things never went according to plan because another customer had suddenly stood up and had bumped into him and he in turn had bumped into Jackson. The plan had been to make sure things didn't escalate but it seemed the woman who had bumped into him was drunk and failed to realize who he was and had started shouting about being touched. Of course it wasn't true, but the stares. It was uncomfortable and he found himself reminded of a drawback on being police chief when not everybody knew who he was. He was silent, was there really a point in claiming that he hadn't done something when frankly he hadn't? Perhaps, but it took so much energy and he was already tired. The woman walked away and he sighed.
This is going to be a long night. He thought to himself, glancing behind himself. "Sorry for bumping into you." He answered, knowing he wasn't at fault, the lady had been but he didn't want anybody else upset over tonight over something like this and the best thing he could do was apologize. It isn't something a Caramel apple can't fix. He thought to himself, waiting for that woman to come back with more accusations because frankly it was likely going to happen.

jackson was bumped from behind causing him to drop his slushy. despite sitting he still managed to get involved in something. he sighed sadly as he looked down at the mess. he hoped he could of been able to save it, but that was not the case.
though his attention was now directed towards the commotion. he just stared as the lady continued to yell. he hadn't noticed the whole thing go down. after all he had been stuffing his face and staring down at his phone.
he was going to say something but the chief spoke up first, once the lady had left."huh? oh, yeah i'm alright. how about you?"it was quite clear the lady had over reacted.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LOVE WILL NEVER BE FOREVER feelings are just like the weather- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Donovan had apologized to Jackson, noticing the slushy all over his clothes. That is replaceable. He thought to himself, knowing that he didn't have to but what was one of the best way to get along with others? Not allowing them a chance to dislike you and his way, was to not waste time attempting to replace the slushy that Jackson had just lost. "I'm alright." He answered, wishing nothing more than to have napkins or paper towels for the sake of helping Jackson out. "If you'd be willing to join me. I'd love to replace that and assist with you getting cleaned up." He offered, not really wanting to stick around for that woman to come back, but than again it wasn't like he was making an effort in hiding from her either. His plan had been to stay there, now it was to try and replace Jackson's slushy.

jackson stood up as he shook some of the slushy off of his shoes and hoodie. he was going to need a lot of napkins. he grabbed the half empty cup of and threw it in the trash. the chief offered to buy him a new one and jackson shook his head."don't worry about it. it wasn't your fault."he headed over to where the food stand had their napkins and grabbed a few before he started to dab at his clothes. it really wasn't that big of a deal.
though by the looks of it he seemed like the type that wouldn't take no for an answer."i mean i won't say no to a blue raspberry slushy."he said with a small laugh as he continued to wipe off his shoes.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LOVE WILL NEVER BE FOREVER feelings are just like the weather- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Donovan listened as Jackson spoke. Though it was true that he could just avoid making a purchase. It didn't sit well with him that Jackson had lost his slushy because he had bumped into him even though it wasn't his fault but the woman's. Thankfully she hadn't come back just yet so he had time to replace it for him. Jackson had stood up and headed towards the food stand to get some napkins and he followed after him with his Caramel apple in hand. He watched as Jackson attempted to clean himself as he looked over the menu, trying to figure out what he had ordered prior. "It is no trouble at all." He answered, determined to replace Jackson's slushy. He withdrew his wallet, struggling to get his cash out with his Caramel apple in his other hand. He ordered Jackson a new Blue Raspberry slushy, handing the cash over, taking his change and receipt before once more struggling to get it in his wallet. He than proceeded to place it in his back pocket, expecting Jackson to take the slushy as soon as it was ready. "Having fun tonight?" He asked, hoping to get some conversation well he had Jackson's attention.

he was right or so it seemed that way to him. the chief was quick to follow him as he went to get cleaned up. he figured he might as well get a slushy. as he hadn't even had the chance to drink any of his before it spilled to the ground and on him. he continued to clean up as he watched chief anderson struggle with his wallet.
jackson felt bad and would of gone over to help him out, but he thought about helping him a bit too late as he was already done paying. his slushy was completed in a few seconds and he went up to grab it."thanks."jackson said before taking a sip.
"yeah, i mean we just got here and we were hungry, but its always fun around here."he told him with a chuckle."uh, how about you? well before that fiasco."he chuckled once more.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LOVE WILL NEVER BE FOREVER feelings are just like the weather- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Donovan waited for Jackson's slushy to finish being made. He took a bite of his Caramel apple as he waited for Jackson to answer his question. "I do agree about it being fun around here." He nodded as he glanced around them briefly before looking back towards Jackson. "It was a long day at work, but good still. Even with that incident, I feel it is still good." He answered, not desiring to let that woman's accusation put him down. Besides she was drunk and he was the police chief. As far as he was concerned, people should know that he was a good citizen who would never do such a thing. Plus they'd get his statement as soon as they arrived so there would be that too. She would have realized I hadn't touched her, if she wasn't drunk in the first place. He thought to himself, blaming it on that reason. Unless of course she was aware and accused on purpose. He thought to himself, trusting the police officers to find out the truth.
He was pulled out of his thoughts as he looked back towards Jackson. "They did a really good job this year. I didn't get time to volunteer but I heard it was going to be awesome and they really went all out this year." He answered with a smile before biting his Caramel apple again.

jackson nodded as he listned to chief anderson gon on about his day."obviously i know nothing, but i didn't think you'd get like a break or something. i mean it's good that you get to get out and stuff."jackson rambled before sipping his slushy once more.
he just knew that law enforcement worked long hours. was he still thinking about it? it was apparent to anyone that was near them that it wasn't his fault. if anything he was sure his friends would back him up too. they were kind of front and center of the whole thing."i don't think i've seen you around here. the halloween stuff i mean. is this your first time?"jackson said trying to think of something to keep the conversation going.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LOVE WILL NEVER BE FOREVER feelings are just like the weather- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Donovan chuckled when he heard Jackson's comment. "Well that is more by choice over it being an order. Though the others should be claiming I give them time off because frankly I do." He admitted, seeing no harm in mentioning that to Jackson. It wasn't like it was classified or anything. Though it was true, even with getting breaks, it was long shifts. "I find that since I'm a vampire, if I'm still in the office in the middle of the night it is in my best interest to just stay there. It really depends on the case. The more important ones, I rarely head home." He answered, being reminded that he didn't have blood in the office, so that would be a reason to head home but Jackson didn't need to know this. Plus it could be viewed as a weakness and he didn't want anybody catching on. Of course if he had become too desperate, the option of asking a fellow police officer to get him blood bags was an option.
One he had requested a few times in the past. Though in most cases he arrives home so that he doesn't have to rely on others to assist him. He heard Jackson's comment and he smiled. "I try and come every year at least once. Sometimes I'm working, other times I come here for fun. I will admit that sometimes I'm too tired and head home instead." He answered, biting more of his Caramel apple. Soon it was gone and he moved to toss the stick in the trash can before heading to the food stand to get napkins to wipe his hands before tossing them into the trash too. "What about you? Have you come here prior?" He asked, curious on Jackson's answer.

jackson simply nodded listening to chief anderson. he figured crime never stopped and neither did they, but how long could one stay awake. even they were being that needed to rest."so what is a choice? taking a break?"jackson asked curious. he was sure as he was the chief he was pretty much in charge of everything.
though he didn't seem like the type that wouldn't give people a break if they needed it. jackson sipped his slushy as he explained even further."even so. i'm sure you need to get some rest. it's easy to miss things if you are tired."jackson said without thinking.
he nodded once more."i mean that makes sense. its the same thing every year well more or less. so you ain't missing much."jackson chuckled.
"yeah, it's pretty much tradition at his point. this is the first time my sister isn't tracking me. then again...."well, he didn't need to know that."she means well, but she can be a tad overprotective."jackson explained with a laugh. obviously perci wasn't stalking him at all hours.
