Let's Fake It Moonshine - Ace Merrill

Night Merrill

Ace groaned to himself as he led around Castle Rock again.

As if Betsy didn't do it all the day before, she once again began to drag Ace around all day.

"Ace!"

He snapped his head at her as she sighed.

"Are you actually paying attention?"

Ace nodded quickly. "She's a bitch right?" Hoping she had moaning about another girl.

"You agree?" Betsy asked him strangely.

Ace nodded again, "yeah sure I can't believe she did that." He continued to gamble with lying, hoping she'd buy him not paying attention.

Betsy smiled up at him. "I just can't believe you dated her while she was going for your best mate the entire time."

Ace stopped, she'd been bitching about Luna.

"Anyway, she's in the past now, she can have that traitor right?" Betsy asked as she walked closer to Ace, letting her arm go around his neck.

Ace was silent. Even he was now beginning to question Eyeball, ever since Ace had said they were "dating" Eyeball had instantly backed down. Not one move or comment was made to her.

"Speak of the betrayers." Betsy scoffed as she looked down the street.

Ace followed her gaze quickly as he saw his old crew walking along with the girls. Yet instead of seeing Luna and Eyeball cuddled up he saw Luna laughing with Vince and Fuzzy while Eyeball was teasing Charlie about Lexi.

"They don't look like they're together..." Ace mumbled.

"Oh you just know they're together." Betsy scoffed out. "Probably just trying to keep it quiet."

Ace watched as the group disappeared into the arcade.

"You fancy going to-"

"Ace, we're not going to arcade." Betsy sighed out. "Just let them go."

Ace was about to retaliate but didn't get the chance as she took his hand and began to pull him along in the opposite direction.

"You definitely fucking cheated Merrill!" Jack laughed out as he shoved Luna along the street.

"I did not! You guys are just all shit as air hockey!" Luna laughed as she shoved Jack back.

Jack wrapped an arm around her shoulders as he tugged her closer.

"You know if we weren't in public I'd end your life right now Merrill." He laughed as she attempted to struggle against him.

The pair laughing and trying to gently hurt each other as they walked along.

Yet they both stopped as Ace and Betsy walked out a shop in front of them. Betsy scoffed as she looked Luna and Jack up and down.

"Working your way through them all aye?" She asked, referring to Jack's arm around her shoulders.

Luna scoffed in retaliation and was about to speak but Jack pulled her back again.

"Just let it go DB, you got what you wanted." Jack snapped at her.

Ace couldn't take his eyes off Luna as Betsy stared at Jack confused.

"What the hell is DB?" She asked as Luna muffled a giggle by Jack's side.

"I'm sure Ace can tell you." Jack replied snarky. "When he stops staring at the right girl." Jack added as Luna elbowed him.
