So heyya guys . itsh meh .. so here is the other part c:
The gang of Leo's 'friends' were out in the streets again with their walkie talkies and traveling in different directions near the park. The groups were Jack and Kaylin, Yusei and Crow, Carly and Amanda, and Akiza and Luna. They had currently been looking around for about thirty minutes and none of them had made any progress.
"Any progress?" Yusei asked into his walkie talkie.
"Don't you think we would have already said something?" Jack's voice came through the walkie talkie.
Yusei rolled his eyes and continued. "Anyone else?"
"Nothing," Akiza answered into the walkie talkie.
"Nothing yet," Amanda said.
Yusei sighed and said into the walkie talkie "Alright, let's just meet in the park in the next thirty minutes."
Yusei clicked off his walkie talkie and sighed again. Crow looked at Yusei wanting to say something, but thought it would be better for Yusei just to think.
….Meanwhile at Ashley's house….
"WHAT?!" Ashley yelled until she remembered where she was. "Why would you want to go back to your old friends? They didn't treat you right at all."
"After talking to that guy in the park," Leo started as he turned to the side of the bed and laying down. "I realized I ran away before I even gave them a chance to explain why they did what they did."
"They shouldn't have done it to begin with," Ashley said with a scowl on her features. "Why give them the time of day?"
Leo stared at the ceiling and answered. "I want to know and I can't stay here anymore. One of my friends saw me and it won't be long before there are police cars going through the streets."
Ashley visibly shuddered at this statement as Leo continued. "I have to tell your family the truth."
Ashley paled. "When?"
Leo looked at her with confusion. "When what?"
"When do you plan to tell them the truth?" Ashley asked.
Leo looked back at the ceiling. "I was thinking of doing it tonight."
Ashley sighed. "I guess that can't be helped.
"When exactly do you plan to tell them: before or after dinner?"
Leo thought about this for a few moments. Then he looked at Ashley again. "When do you think I should tell them?"
Ashley thought too. "Probably after dinner. They might be more accepting of your news."
"Okay," Leo said before realizing something. "You know you're going to have to do it with me too, right?"
"I figured since we both lied," Ashley said lying beside Leo. "We're so dead."
"You more than me," Leo said with a smirk.
Ashley rolled her eyes and smirked as well. "Yeah, I know."
"Ashley! Leo!" Ashley's mom called from downstairs. "Come down for dinner!"
"Okay!" They both yelled from Ashley's room. Then they got up and went down the stairs.
….Meanwhile with the gang….
They had searched for another whole thirty minutes and still had nothing to show for it. No one had spotted Leo or knew his whereabouts. To say they were all disappointed was an understatement. When they met in the park only to find that no one had any new information, they seemed to become even more depressed than they already were in that moment.
Yusei, Crow, Carly, Amanda, Akiza, Luna, Kaylin, and Jack gathered collectively around a park bench. Luna, Amanda, Akiza, and Carly sat on the long park bench while the guys stood. There was a silence between them all that was so thick it seemed to weigh down their problem further.
Yusei, feeling as though the silence had gone on long enough, cleared his voice to get everyone's attention and spoke. "Is it time to go?"
"Go where?" Crow asked already knowing the answer to his question.
"The police station. Where else?" Jack answered in his usual rude manner.
Crow glared hard at Jack and opened his mouth to say something, but thought better of it. As much as Crow wanted to snap at Jack or land a crack on his thick skull, he couldn't find the energy or will power to do so.
Akiza sighed. "I suppose that's our only option at this point."
Another silence engulfed the group as they wordlessly got up and walked in the direction of the police station.
….Meanwhile at Ashley's house….
The family plus Leo were sitting at a round table. Leo sat between Ashley and Mandy. Ashley's mom sat by Mandy with her husband on her other side.
"This tastes wonderful, dear," Ashley's dad said to his wife after taking after a bite of his macaroni and cheese. He continued to praise it after another bite. "Simply wonderful."
His wife blushed slightly at his complements as Mandy also complemented her food. "Yeah mom, it tastes great."
"Thank you," Ashley's mom answered. She looked up at Leo at the other side of the table. "What do you think of the dinner Leo?"
Leo, however, didn't hear her. He didn't hear any of them because he was so deep in his thoughts at the moment.
Leo furrowed his brow still in deep thought. He was thinking of how he was to tell Ashley's family the truth. Just moments before this dinner had started, Leo was certain of what he wanted to do, but now he felt like he couldn't do it. It didn't matter though, Leo knew. Despite his feeling, he knew he had to tell them or they would find out the truth eventually.
His thoughts, however, were interrupted when Ashley jabbed him in his side rather roughly under the table. Leo, ignoring the slight pain in his side, looked up to see Ashley's mom staring at him. "Leo, are you okay? You seemed distracted."
"Sorry. I'm fine." was all Leo said, feeling his face heat up slightly in embarrassment.
"You sure you're fine?" Ashley's mom pressed looking a little concerned. "You hadn't even touched your food yet."
Leo nodded his head as he picked up his fork and began to eat his food slowly. This action only concerned Ashley's mom more, but decided it would be better if she didn't press on any further. Then conversation began around the table and Leo more or less tuned it out while occasionally giving a comment or two. In that moment, Leo knew as he watched the happy family that it was going to even harder to tell his news.
He sighed to himself. 'It was fun while it lasted.'
