All For Me

thirty six

STILL FLASHBACK

third person pov

harper stared at her phone for a second, tears building in her eyes as she realized how wrong she treated charlotte

scarlet was right. their mom was on possibly her death bed and here she was being a jerk, slut shaming her sister and saying she wished she got shot

"its okay baby" milton cooed as he ran his fingers through harper's flat ironed hair

they had been cuddled up ever since she left the hospital.

they were a thing, him just asking her out yesterday before her mother got shot

harper sniffed and sent the address to aiden's phone

she got her number when she went to charlotte's house and trashed it out of anger. she found the yellow piece of paper and decided to keep it incase she felt the need to heartlessly tell them she wished their lover was dead

aiden pulled up to the address harper had given them and they rushed out of the car, not even locking the doors but the neighborhood seemed to be a rich one so they thought nothing of it

they tried to push open the front door of bella's house but found it to be locked. they pounded against it but got no answer

"CHARLOTTE!" scarlet scream

"COME ON CHARLOTTE ANSWER PLEASE" aiden shouted, banging on the door again

"HELLO?! CHAR?!" scarlet pounded on the door once more, "ANSWER"

a neighbor came out of her house after hearing the ruckus of banging and shouting

"who are you?" she shouted from across the yard

startled both girls head snapped to look at the old white woman in only a robe and night gown, her blonde hair thrown over her shoulder as she squinted her eyes at the black and Asian women

please dont be racist, scarlet thought as she swallowed hard and crossed over to the neighbors yard

"listen lady we need to get in that house. do you know the owner?" scarlet pushed out, her heart pounding in her ears

the lady squinted her eyes and pursed her really thin lips

"i do.." she said slowly

"okay the owner had gotten shot and her daughter is in there. we think something bad has happened as she had snuck out of the hospital instead of coming to us. me and my.... erm best friend is worried for her. so can you please open the door if you have a spare key... please" she begged

she had to say that aiden was her best friend as she didnt know if the woman was homophobic and didnt want to take her chances either

the lady eyes widen

"we better get you that key then, hm?"
