Pessimistic [Completed]

-+Keith's PoV+-

"Can't we rest a bit longer?" I tried bot to sound whiny or spoiled. If he left me here, I'd have no way home, and he didnt seem to be the type of person who'd tolerate whining.

He sighed. "I guess. Well get breakfast, and maybe find a park to eat in."

"Really?" I didnt expect him to give in so easily.

"Sure. You aren't tough like me." He smiled.

"Heyy." I frowned. "That wasn't a very nice thing to say to a friend."

"Trust me, Keith. If I compliment you, you'll know. And anyways, you took it to seriously. It was a joke."

"Alrighty then. So where are we eating?"

"Well, if we can find a donut shop, they throw out yesterday donuts to make room for the fresh ones. It's free donuts."

"But isnt that-"

"Dont worry, they toss them in a bag. They dont touch anything in the dumpster. Just dont eat cream filled donuts. They arent good." Pico assured me.

"If you say so." I wasnt sure about eating dumpster donuts, but I guess it was better than paying.

"Does your phone still work?" Pico pointed at my pocket.

"Not sure. It might be dead." I pulled my phone out of my pocket and turned it on. "Oh, I still have 38%! What did you need my phone for?"

"You have some sort of map, right?"

"Yeah."

"We can find a donut shop on the map instead of wandering around."

"I thought wandering around was your thing?"

"I dont usually have a place I'm going too. If I did, I would use a map." He groaned.

"Oohh. Makes sense."

"Don't get used to it."

I handed my phone to him. "I'm not good with maps, sorry."

"Alright." He tapped a few things, the screen reflecting into his pale blue eyes. "You got a text Keith." He handed my phone back to me.

I looked at the screen. It was my girlfriend, Abigail.



I quickly typed back a reply.

'Good Morning Baby❤❤❤❤ Sorry I cant hang out, it complicated 🥺🥺🥺 luv u tho'

I sighed. I didnt like sounding so cheesy, but it's what made her happy.

She responded within the minute.

'How Complicated? Where are you🤔🤔 ur not with a dude, are you?????💔💔💔'

'Noo bby, dont worry, I luv u so much.❤❤ I dont know where I am tho'

'How do u not know where you are??!?!?!!? Did u get kidnapped?!?!'

'Nononononono dont worry, I'm just lost! I'll find u tho!💗💗💗🤞 I promise!'

'Okay babe! Luv U❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤'

'Ily❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤'

I sighed. She was really protective. A little too protective.

"Who're you texting?" Pico said from behind my shoulder.

"My girlfriend. Shes a bit... protective."

"You mean annoying? Clingy? Or are you just trying to preserve a shattered chandelier?"

"What the hell does that even mean?"

"Whatever you think it means, I guess."

"I have no funking idea! She isnt hanging from the ceiling!"

"Only a broken chandelier wouldn't hang from the ceiling."

"Are you telling me to hang her?" I shivered in the cold breeze.

"I dont know, loverboy, am I?" Pico teased. Was he trying to annoy me?

"Stop answering my questions with questions! Why are you doing that?"

"Can you hand me the phone so we can get donuts?" He went serious in a matter of seconds.

I handed him my phone, and he led us to the nearest Dunkin Donuts.

He took me around the back of the store. "Its about 7 am, they've probably thrown out the old donuts." He muttered to himself, and opened the back of the dumpster.

Pico glanced around, and pulled out of box of donuts, still sealed and everything. "Hope you like chocolate." He slammed the dumpster shut.

"Chocolate is fine." I said. I loved chocolate donuts. I didn't get them often, since I was usually tight on money.

We found a nearby park at sat down on a bench to eat our donuts.

I stared at the donut in my hand for a second. Was I really going to eat a dumpster donut?

Heck yeah.

I took a bite of the donut. Chocolate Heaven. Sweet, but not to sweet. I feel bad for dogs.

"Enjoying yourself?" Pico chuckled, smiling. If I didnt have a girlfriend-

"Yeah." I said, my mouth filled with donut.

"One of the best parts about being a runaway is that you never have to pay for your donuts. Or shelter. Or pretty much anything."

"You're broke?"

"Yeah, but I still dont have to pay for anything."

"I guess I'm going to keep my cash just in case."

"You do you, but I wouldn't let anyone know about it. They might try and steal it. Of course, I'm cool, but you shouldnt trust others."

"Like who?"

"Anyone you dont know."

"I didnt know you, but you didnt steal my stuff."

"I didnt know you had money. If I did, I probably would have stolen it."

"That's... reassuring." I looked at my half eaten donut.

"Its a cruel world we live in. Don't let the celebrities fool you. Its every man for himself, and every woman for hers. You were just lucky enough to find someone with sympathy for the weak. You won't always be so lucky. So you should best be cautious."

I stared at him. "Where the hell did this come from?!"

"Do I look like I know?" He laughed.

"Its nice to see you Pico." A soft feminine voice came from behind the bench.
