Sweet Pea pulled his motorcycle up a few streets away from Rens house, as the girl requested. It wouldn't be the greatest scene if Maren arrived wearing a serpent jacket let alone being around a southsider. She hopped off quickly and taking off the helmet even quicker wanting to get away from the situation.
As for Sweets he just couldn't take his eyes off of her, the way her blondish locks were framing her face all messed up due to the helmet. And of course the fact she's wearing his serpent jacket could've made him groan right there, because it was his and no one else's. "Everything okay?" She asks clearly seeing his staring, unashamed.
"Yeah everything's perfect" He added taking the helmet from her, their hands touching slightly. Maren placed her hands over her chest, feeling slightly uncomfortable due to the totally cliché thing that happened. Pea came closer to Ren, closer that ever before and he pushed some of the lose hair behind her ear. His hand rested completely against her cheek, blushing when she nudged further into his hand. No one had ever had this effect on him, then again he's never met anyone quite like Maren.
Pea leaned down, their breath was now mingling together. Maren had never wanted something to happen so badly but she wouldn't be selfish, she just didnt have it in her so she grabbed his wrist softly. "We can't Sweet Pea" she whispered quietly eyes still closed. He rubbed her cheek sighing outwardly.
"Why can't we him?" He asked not knowing what to think or do or even say. "It's too selfish" ren finally opened her eyes looking right into his brown ones, the ones she loved....a lot.
"Then lets be selfish for once Mar" He would've begged, if that's what it would take. On his knees he would beg for once chance. Closing his eyes as he felt her head shake no, his hand dropped suddenly making Ren feel cold. Missing the heat that his hand gave her.
"I'm sorry Pea, its just easier this way" Maren shook the leather jacket from her body, handing it over to a waiting Sweet Pea. He nodded a quick thanks while slipping the warm jacket on.
Ren said a fast goodbye wanting to get away as fast as she could, once she rounded the corner onto her street she glanced over her shoulder. Watching as Pea just turned on the bike engine, of course he waited she thought. Maren groaned with frustration before continuing her walk home.
The next day Ren had woken up to missed calls and many texts from Betty and Toni, both informing the girl that the Sugarman had been caught. Toni also added that he was a teacher at Southside high, something that made the girls jaw drop. Due to skipping school for the day Ren had the house to herself, which was spent sleeping the whole day until her mother arrived home. "Maren Nate Campbell!" From hearing her full name alone the girl jumped awake. "Why was i getting phone calls saying that you weren't in school?" Jessica stood in Marens doorway, hands placed firmly pn her hips.
"Um maybe because I wasn't there" Ren stated sitting up to face her mom, "Alright Ren enough attitude, I was only worried about you" Jess sat at the foot of the bed reaching out and rubbing her daughters leg, ignoring the slight flinch she felt.
"I'm sorry, didn't mean to worry you" The girl rubbed her face trying to keep herself awake, "just wasnt up to dealing with people all day" Jessica nodded her head, showing her daughter that she understood....or at least tried to understand.
"It's okay sweetie we all have those days, but will you come down to eat? your brothers home now too" the mother stood up smiling lightly and leaving the room. Didn't Aaron not have practise today? ren asked herself, football was her brothers life afterall. Ignoring her thoughts she headed down stairs, the table was set and her mother had already served the food.
Aaron looked up from his food eyeing his sister cautiously, just as her dad was doing. Ren sat down feeling so awkward due to her family's stares and the silence, boy could this silence kill. As if the gods were listening, the landline telephone rang, saving Maren from the awfulness that was this dinner.
Nathan stood up answering the phone, "Oh Hiram, what awful news" is what was first heard by the rest of the family, making everyone alert. Rens heart was racing, did something happen to Veronica? Was her first thought. "Yes please send them our prayers, thank you for telling me" That was all the phone call was, her father coming back into the room. An eerie smile was on his face, his eyes first landing on his wife.
"Everything okay honey?" Her mother asked placing her knife and fork down.
"The St. Clairs had a car accident, they were run off the road" The eerie smile still on his face, "Nick...he will recover but its gonna take several months, maybe a year" Nathan finally met his daughters eyes, ones which had slightly filled with tears. But not tears of sadness, no, tears of thankfulness, utter tears of relief.
"Oh my"
"Well you know karmas a bitch" Aaron said jabbing his fork into the food.
"That's correct my son" Nathan took his seat again at the head of the table, raising his drink.
"To Karma"
