MAL'S FRIENDS SHOWED UP after a while of them getting home.
The group were talking about what happened, listening to Mal and Bryce as they explained everything.
"... So, that's practically everything."
"Wait, so. That day when Dash's picture was posted on his profile, how did you know something was happening at their house?" Ben asked.
"It's called death photography. When you look at pictures of dead people, you feel as though their eyes are faced open and their mouth is formed into this big smile... That's actually something that was pretty popular in the Victorian era in England, and my only guess is, Jake used it so he can tell the whole world that Dash is safe and sound. So he can just turn people's eyes away from what he really did." Mal explained, causing everyone to nod as they tried to process.
"So, where is Jake now?"
"The police are still looking for him. Hopefully he doesn't do anything stupid by then."
After a while of talking and catching up on what has been happening, Nawal entered the room with a tray full of snacks, then set it down on the table. The tray included Pringles, Doritos, Lays, pretzels and a ton of other stuff that Mal was craving for.
"If you guys want to stay, we're ordering pizza. And..." Nawal paused for a moment, "Jake was arrested, like, ten minutes ago, when one of the officers saw him almost throwing himself off the bridge on 9th street."
Mal sighed in relief and dread. "But... He's going to get released, right? He's mentally ill."
"Yeah, but not after going to a mental hospital. I think they'll release him after giving medication, or something. Anyway, I'll leave you all to it."
The woman then left the room, leaving the group with a pile of snacks.

"So, we're finally alone." Beatrice stated, sitting on the bed next to Mal. Mal smiled and nodded. "Yeah."
"I've been meaning to ask you something."
Mal turned to her curiously. "Go ahead."
"I was wondering if we could like, go out sometimes?"
The other girl stopped in her tracks. "Wait, are you really asking me that?"
"Yeah...!"
"Yeah, definitely!"
Beatrice smiled awkwardly, her heart almost jumping out of her chest. "C-Cool."
Mal gave her a wide smile, then leaned in to capture her lips in a soft, passionate kiss. Beatrice kissed back, and when it was finally the time to break away, both girls were red as tomatoes.
"I... I had a crush on you for a little while. Thank you for asking me, I'm new to that kind of things."
"Of course, babe... You don't mind if I call you babe, right?"
"No, not at all. I love it."
The couple then spent the whole night cuddling, knowing they could finally feel safe.

THE END
