His Target (Pico x Depressed Reader) !Completed!

Chapter 13

~Pico's Pov~

2 hours into the drive and i catch (y/n) trying to stay awake. She has no business acting so cute, "(Y/n), if you tired then just go to sleep. We'll wake you up when we're there" I say and look back at her. She starts to yawn and nod her head, laying down in the backseat. I sigh and lay my head on my hand.

Once she fell asleep, it went quiet for a couple seconds. "So whens the wedding" Darnell asks. He is so lucky that he's driving or else i wouldve slaughtered him. "What wedding" I ask, trying not to blush for the 5th time today. "Well your gonna marry her right?" Darnells asks once more, smirking. Its taking everything in me to not kill him.

"Ill be dead before the wedding" I say. "So negative" Darnell then gets all serious. "There is a chance that you both could live you know, i mean updike isnt that ruthless" I sigh and stare at the window. "You know i cant do that, thats how nene died.." I say. Another minute goes by, it was silent. "That was her choice" Darnell says.

"She wanted to die, to save us dude. That was a one time thing for updike, if anything...she could have lived" Darnell says. He turns down the volume of some soft music that was playing and glances at me. "I dont want to talk about this shit" I say. I see darnell shake his head, "You love her right?" I really didnt want to talk about this.

"No i dont" I say. I was hoping i could lie and be done but nothing gets past darnell. He gives me a look and sighs. "Do you love her pico? I want you to answer honestly, shes asleep so she cant hear you" He really wasnt letting this go.

~(Y/n)'s Pov~

I know that i was supposed to be asleep but i couldnt help but listen in on their conversation. "So whens the wedding" I hear. I blush at that comment, darnell was seriously overstepping his boundaries. "What wedding" I hear pico say. "Well your gonna marry her right?" I felt my face flush a deep red.

Thank the lord that my face was towards the seat or else they wouldve known i was awake. I take a deep breath, trying to make it seem like i was asleep. "Ill be dead before the wedding" Pico says. I couldnt tell if he was joking or not though. It didnt sound like it. "So negative" Darnell says. Then they started talking about how there is a way.

None of us have to die and that this updike isnt so ruthless, "You know i cant do that, thats how nene died.." Pico says. I didnt know who this person was but pico sounded a bit sad when he said that. It made me want to comfort him, "That was her choice" Darnell says. I then tried to block out the conversation.

This was none of my business, i shouldnt be eavesdropping. I tried to actually go to sleep when i heard, "You love her right?" I then froze. 'Love who..?' I thought. I got a bit worried even though i shouldnt have. "No i dont" Pico says. I bit my lip, my curiosity getting the best of me. "Do you love her pico?" Darnell asks again.

"I want you to answer honestly, shes asleep so she cant hear you" I then realized that he was talking about me. I was desperate to know the answer, 'they think im asleep so they wont know that i was listening' I thought. I grip my wrist tightly, it felt like its been ages since they have talked. "Yea i do" I hear.

I froze once more, my eyes widen a bit. I thought i was gonna sit up and announce that i was awake. But i didnt. I start tearing up a bit, i kept quiet the best i could. 'He loves me..' I thought. "I wouldnt be doing this if i didnt" Pico says once more. I slowly raise my hand up to cover my mouth, making it seem like i was moving in my sleep.

I cry silently still hearing picos words ring in my head.
