PIPER

I park the car outside of the house, going on my phone as I wait for Pansy to come out. We planned to go shopping a few days ago, I see the door open and take the car out of park but instead of Pansy it's Pierce.

"Pierce? Where's Pansy?" I ask as I put the window down.

"She's not here," he says.

"What? Where is she then?"

"I don't know, she wasn't in the house when I woke up."

"Alright, thanks for telling me. See you." I say then pull out of the driveway.

When I pull up to a stop sign, I quickly dial Pansy's number and put it on speaker as I drive.

"Hello?" She asks panting.

"Where are you? We had plans today, remember?"

"Oh, y-yeah we did."

"Are you okay? Why do you sound like you just ran a marathon?"

"I do? Yeah I went for a jog this morning," she says.

"You hate runni- oh, I get it. See you soon sister," I laugh before hanging up.

"This dirty bitch, picking up my call while getting fucked," I laugh to myself.

I park in the parking lot, I look at my phone for a few minute before dialling Elijah's number.

"Piper?"

"Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to meet up?" I ask.

"Yeah sure, where?" He asks.

"The mall? I had plans with my sister but she was busy."

"The mall? Uh, yeah sure."

"Alright, I'm already here."

"Okay I'll see you." He says then hangs up.

I pull down the mirror and look at my neck, the hickeys faded away slightly since it's been a week but there's still some that were visible. So I covered it up with makeup hoping it doesn't rub off.

(few minutes later)

I get out of my car as I see Elijah pull up, I walk up to him and hug him tightly.

"I missed you," he says in my hair.

"Me too," I say but it comes out muffled from his chest.

"Alright let's go," I say and take his hand and drag him into the mall.

"Where do you want to go first?" He asks.

"Over there," I point to a shop.

We walk in and I start looking at the clothes, I finally choose a cute black crop top long sleeve that has gold detailing and a soft blue t-shirt. Along with a few pairs of sweatpants and jeans.

"Where do you want to go now?" I ask Elijah as we leave the store.

"I don't mind, I'm here for you."

"But it's not fair if I only buy stuff, let's go there."

I hold his hand and we walk to a men's shop, he picks out a few suits along with belts before we leave.

"Let's go to a park now," he says.

"Which one?"

"You'll see," he smiles and we go in his car.

"Wait what about my car?" I question.

"We'll come back later for it."

"Alright."

(at the park)

Elijah comes to my side and opens the door for me, I smile taking his hand. We walk down a trail and there's a park, full of lights and flowers.

"Oh wow, this is so beautiful," I say.

"My friend told me about this spot, it's very secret. Come let's go sit down on the bench."

We sit down on the bench and talk for a few minutes before he says he forgot something in the car. He comes back and tells me to close my eyes.

"Close your eyes." I do as he says.

"Alright keep them closed."

Then I feel something on the lower part of my face, I open my eyes and see Elijah holding a small white towel to my nose and mouth, I try fighting against him but it doesn't work. My vision slowly starts to go blurry as my body gets tired.

"Shh, it's okay, don't fight it." He whispers in my ear.
