Conflicted Hearts: Book 1

When These Walls Come Tumbling Down

"Hey, Y/n" the pinkish redheaded girl called out to the boy who just lifted himself out of the pond they were swimming at.

"What's up Vi?" The boy answered back while shaking his head to get the water out of his ear.

"Where do you see us in 15 years?" She asked.

"Mmm, probably still together, living our best life while we manage the bar, with some little you and I's running around." The boy chuckled as he scratched his neck.

"But...but what if we...what if we get separated or break up?" Vi asked catching the boy off guard.

"What do you mean!? That's not gonna happen."

"Y/n, you have to just consider it, what if w-"

"We won't. If it does come to that let's make a promise." Y/n cut Vi off and grabbed her pinky with his own.

"I, Y/n L/n, promise to find you, Vi, whenever we get separated," Y/n said.

"And, I will do the same," Vi said before smacking the boy into the water. "Jeez, you're gonna make my heart melt." She chuckled.

Y/n eyes snap open as he gets himself back to reality, his eyes scanning the bedroom he was in, and upon scanning, he found Jinx still sleeping next to him. Her clothes were discarded around the old room along with his own.

He flopped himself back onto his back and put his arm around Jinx who had made herself comfortable using his chest as her pillow.

"I promise." Y/n sighed and closed his eyes to get some more shut-eye.

The door to the bar creaks opens freaking out the current barman cleaning cups.

He continued to hum to himself after seeing it was nothing.

"Chuck!" Jinx yelled out, her head laid on the table as she played with the gemstone.

"Thieram. Uh...My name's Thieram" The barman answered but stuttered as his eyes kept flickering back and forth between Jinx and Y/n.

"Don't even try." Y/n sighed as he took a seat.

"Nice try, Chuck." She tapped her fingers onto the table a few times indicating she wanted a drink and scoffed as she realized just how empty the bar was since she was getting bored. "What's all the hubbub?"

"Uh. Boss wants us to grab someone up." He replied as he poured the couple their drinks.

"Someone? Anyone?" Jinx asked rolling the gemstone from one hand to the other as Chuck gave her, her drink.

"Who are you grabbing?" Y/n asked, his head remembering the last time Silco had this many people grab a person up was when he escaped.

"Some girls." Chuck answered and realized how that sounded. "I mean, I mean not...I'm not grabbing girls. Oh, other than the...those ones...I guess."

"I don't give a shit what you do. Who are they?" Y/n asked as he glared at the barman who sent obvious hints.

"Why weren't we invited to the party?" Jinx asked as she put the glowing stone between her fingers and dropping it into the cup.

"Uh, I don't know." Chuck started making Y/n's drink as he continued on. "They...they got in a fight with Sevika. They did a number on her."

"Oh really? Which number? Like the 69 Y/n did on me?" Jinx asked as she sucked the ball out of the cup.
