bruce ?

( before this chapter starts I apologize and if you need money for therapy i volunteer as a tribute . )

stretching while waking up again . i realized we had school .

" damn it was just friday . " i yawn getting up out of bed and getting changed . after I started brushing my teeth , washing my face and doing my hair in the bathroom . I didn't feel for music today . grabbing my stuff and heading downstairs to see finney and gwen eating breakfast .

" heyy guys . " I smile at them . " everything fine ? "

" yeah. " finney says finishing his breakfast

" he's upset that I beat him in tic-tac toe ." gwen says laughing .

" whatever !! " he says walking out as me and gwen rush behind him .

walking down the road chatting , laughing and all the good vibes .

but that's what I was afraid of .

what if that man was too strong ?

what if he hurts Bruce too bad ?

what did he do to griffin and Billy ?

what did he do to Vance ?

if vance couldn't escape there's no way bruce could ?

what's gonna happen next ?

" you ok ?? " finney says snapping me out of my gaze .

" yeah . yeah im fine . keep walking im right behind you . "

they stare at me for a second in awe , before turning back around and walking as I followed .

we walk into school going separate ways and i walk into first period sitting down next to robin .

" hey ash ! how's ur morning ? " he says smiling.

" good. " i say bluntly

" everything .. fine . ? " he says worried .

" bruce is gone . " i say looking at him .

" what?-"

" bruce is missing robin."

" i-im sorry .. " robin says putting a hand on my shoulder .

" thanks arellano . " i give him a small smile and look back straight

" you sure your fine .. "

" was it the same poster as the other 3 kids ?? griffin stagg .. billy showalter-"

" and vance hopper. yeah " I say looking at him again.

" pinball vance .. he was scary . " robin says laughing confused trying to lighten the mood.

I laugh lowly at his statement .

" yeah . it was okay dating vance " I spoke slowly .

" you dated vance ? " robin says with his full attention on me .

" yeah . " I say smiling at him . " I dated vance . "

" so um .. how was it. ? " he asked interested

" it was amazing . he wasn't really mean towards me . more opening and more sweet . that sounds crazy I know . especially because how he was towards people . " I say .

" sounds like he went soft for you. " robin says

" just like you are ? " I say.

" no..-"

" ᴄᴍᴏɴ Aʀᴇʟʟᴀɴᴏ , ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴛᴜʀɴɪɴɢ sᴏꜰᴛ ꜰᴏʀ ᴍᴇ ?? " I say grabbing his cheek smiling .

" oh stop . " he says slapping my hand off and laughing .

" hey you too ! Keep it down. " the teacher yells .

"perra tonta " robin mumbles .
( dumb bitch . )

I laugh at what he said and nudge his shoulder .

" cuida tu lenguaje . " I say laughing
( watch ur mouth . )
