9.30am

Zarah was sliding off the couch but hit his head "FRICK-" He exclaimed rubbing his forehead, "Frick.. how'd I manage to hit my head?" He asked himself before seeing the coffee table near the couch. "That idiot... SARAH!" he yelled walking angrily to the guest door and opening it, "She's still asleep, what do you want?" Carlos asked brushing his teeth. "Did she move the coffee table near the couch so she could prank me and make me hit my head?" "No? She just asked me to make noodles and give you a blanket. Maybe you did it to yourself" Carlos answered walking out of the bathroom. "Haha, why would I hit myself?" Zarah asked laughing sarcastically, "Because you're always accidentally hitting yourself. Remember that time when you were swinging that pair of earphones and you hit yourself in the face?" "Oh yea, that was fun" Zarah said walking out of the room. "I'm gonna go out for awhile, tell Sarah that, okay?" Carlos walked out of the room and to the front door, "Ok".

12.30pm

"WAKE UP, ITS 3 IN THE AFTERNOON WAKE UPP" Zarah yelled waking Sarah up, she groaned and woke up to check her phone "BOTCH, ITS 12.30" she yelled throwing her pillow at him, "Haha I know just needed to wake you up" "Where's Carlos?" She asked him getting up. "I don't know" he answered walking out of the room, "ugh" she mumbled and went to shower. While she was shampooing her hair, a cut on her hand appeared out of nowhere "Ow!" she exclaimed trying to wash the soap from her hand. "I should really stop accidentally cutting my ha-" A knock on the door startled her, "Frick- Yes?" "Come out, Carlos' home" Zarah knocked then banged on the door.

"Ok, be out in a few minutes" she said turning off the shower and walked out of the bathroom. She changed and walked out of the room to find Zarah playing rock paper scissors with Carlos, "WHAT THE-, HOW DO YOU ALWAYS WIN?!" "Dude, you ALWAYS choose scissors" Carlos said standing up from the couch. "No I don't." "Heyy" He said running towards Sarah and hugging her, "Hii" she hugged him back. "What's up with your hand?" Zarah asked seeing her hand from the couch, "Oh I got a cut and soap got to it" "Ouch.." he said covering the part she got hurt at, "How'd you get hurt?" Carlos asked looking for the hurt spot. "I think I cut myself with the shampoo bottle, or maybe the nightstand" Sarah answered walking to the fridge and opening it, "Oh yea, we don't have any groceries.. So can you go with your boyfriend" "Can you go with your boyfriend?" She said in a high pitched voice mocking him.

"I heard that" Zarah turned on the TV, "If you don't have groceries, don't go shopping! Come to this address for free groceries" an ad from the tv spoke. "Say what now?" Sarah closed the fridge and looked over to the tv, "Let's go there right now, we need free groceries" she looked over to Zarah. "I don't trust it, I'm not going" "I'm still going, Carlos let's go" she opened the front door, "My love, I don't think we should-" He tried to stop her "No, we're going. Come on, love" "Make sure she doesn't get hurt" Zarah said looking at Carlos. "I won't" Carlos answered sarcastically. "Carlos! Come on!" Sarah yelled from afar, "Coming my love!" He took his jacket quickly and closed the door behind him, "So what was the address?" "Hold on lemme check" He said taking out his phone from his pocket "Oh, it's not that far", "Cool, I can just drive there" Sarah said starting the car. "Wait- Are you sure we can trust it?" "Bup bup bup- Just tell me the address" she stopped him, he sighed "Maple Street 8th Lane" "Okay thanks, love you" she thanked him driving there. "Love you too..",

Almost at the place..

"I gotta check my phone, hold on" Sarah took her phone out and started checking it. "Honey, there's a kid!" Carlos yelled trying to not hit the kid, "Huh?" "THERE'S A KID" He yelled again pointing to the kid in the middle of the road "FRICK-!" She accidentally crashed into a rock. "Oh sheet, Zarah's gonna get so mad.." "Sweetheart, are you okay?" Carlos said checking the kid, "Dang it.." Sarah tried to call Zarah but he didn't answer, she walked over to Carlos carrying the child. "The kid said they don't know where their parents are" he said trying to comfort the child, "I mean, we can't take it home-" she said before the kid started crying. "I-i want my mommy!" "No no no- sh shh, it's fine"

Carlos tried to stop the kid from crying, he put the kid down and asked "Shh, what's your name little one?" "D-Darian" the kid answered. Darian saw Sarah and ran towards her immediately, he hugged her leg and hid from Carlos. "I think he likes you" Carlos chuckled and took his phone out to call Zarah, Sarah got on her knees and asked if Darian knew any numbers "N-no.." "Then where do you live, sweetie?" She asked him again, "I-i'm not sure, my parents drove me here and drove off saying they'll be back in an hour.." he answered hugging a teddy bear. "I can't call Zarah, no signal" Carlos walked towards Sarah sliding his phone into his back pocket, "We don't have anywhere to go, and I don't think we can bring Darian" "What, Why not?" He asked "Because then he's gonna think we kidnapped him" "But we can't just stay in the middle of the road here" he said crossing his hands. "Do you have any relative that stays here?" Sarah asked before she saw Darian running towards her, "Mommy, I'm hungry" "It's ok, let me see if there's still any food in the car. Daddy will look call someone, okay?" Sarah said walking to the car. "But I can't call Zarah-!" "Just call someone" she whispered to Carlos.

One hour later.. 5.01 PM

"Hey, did you find anyone?" Sarah asked walking towards Carlos, "Yea I managed to get some WiFi and called us a taxi. Where's Darian?" He asked looking behind her, "He's asleep in the car" "Oh okay, my phone said the taxi will be here soon" He checked his phone. "I need a shower so bad, I'm so hot" "You are." Carlos said teasing her. Suddenly, a taxi dropped a couple of teenagers off, "Is that our taxi?" Sarah asked "It is. Go get Darian and we can go" Carlos answered walking towards the taxi. She went to get Darian while Carlos had to deal with the teenagers, "Excuse me ladies"

he said trying to get past them "Oh I'm sorry, but do you want my number?" "Sandra, no!", one of the teenagers said from afar. "Uh- No thank you.." "Oh sheet- GOD DANG IT, I DROPPED MY PHONE" Sarah yelled sounding frustrated, "Ignore her, she's not even your girlfriend." Sandra said trying to pull him closer. "Sandra, you really shouldn't. I am so sorry, sir!" One of Sandra's friends tried to pull her away, "FRICK, JUST LEAVE IT. I'LL PICK IT UP LATER" Sarah yelled and walked towards Carlos. "Hello.." "Er, hi?" She said a bit confused, "Just ignore her, love. I'll get Darian and your phone, okay?" He kissed her on the cheek and walked to the car, Sandra started fake crying and told one of her friends. "Omg, how can you do this to her? You're so mean!" "Emma, she's lying." one of the friends said crossing her hands, "You don't even understand it, Nina" Emma said comforting Sandra.

"We've been here for 5 minutes, I'm going to go now", the taxi driver told them, "No no, just wait for awhile." Sarah said panicking for awhile, "Love, I got Darian and your phone" Carlos said walking towards her with Darian, she sighed with relief and got into the taxi. Carlos got into the taxi after Darian and the taxi driver took them home, "Is there food at home?" Darian asked, "Yea, I can make something for you. What do you like?" "Anything really, also.. Is Mommy okay?" He asked again pointing to Sarah. Carlos chuckled, "Yes, she's fine. She's just enjoying the cold air, or she's asleep" "Ooh okayy" Darian nodded his head.

A few minutes later,

They reached the apartment "Okay, we're here. I don't take credit card, you HAVE to pay with cash. 10 bucks." The taxi driver said asking for money, "Alright. Darian, you go inside first okay? I'm gonna wake Mommy up" Carlos said pointing to the apartment Zarah lived in. "Okay" Darian nodded his head as he walked to the apartment, "Sarah, you gotta wake up. We're here" Carlos tried to shake her body, she groaned "I know you don't want to wake up, but you have to" "I don't wanna" she replied half asleep. "You can sleep on the couch, okay love?" "Ugh fine" she slowly woke up and got out of the car, "Thank you, sir." Carlos said passing some money to the taxi driver. "Okay okay whatever." The taxi driver rolled his eyes and drove off, Carlos then walked to the front door and opened it "Zarah, we're home!" He called for Zarah, "Ughh I'm so tired" Sarah walked over to the couch and jumped on it but hit her chin on the armrest. "Frick, I forgot about the armrest.. Ow-" she said rubbing her chin, Carlos closed the door and let Darian explore the place. He laughed and asked if Sarah was okay, "Do I look okay?" "Sorry, sorry. You should take a bath" he suggested sitting down on the couch, "I really should, I'm gonna shower in Zarah's room this time" "Alright, I'll make something for Darian to eat" he said turning on the TV. Sarah walked to Zarah's room and opened the door to find Zarah asleep on the bed, she sighed and walked into the bathroom.
