Chpt. 10 - Forgot Again

DAILY SONG CHOICE: STILL LIFE - SITCOM
...
Robin's POV:

I've been looking through neighborhoods, houses to houses and couldnt find signs of Y/n anywhere.

Y/n had been taken from me.

I wasn't going to let this go. Let her go.

No way.

I was going to find this son of a bitch, and once I did, I was going to beat his punk ass up and give him what he deserved.

I threw my skateboard back onto the ground, skating onto the next house.

I get through a couple of houses, asking adults and young teenagers if they have seen her anywhere, but all there were, were 'no's'.

I knock on another woman's house, not knowing where I was at this point, and didn't care either.

The woman opens the door, and my heart drops.

Y/n's mother.

"You!" She shouts. "What do you want? I kicked the slut out if that's what you're asking!"

I furrow my brows.

She kicked her out?

What the actual fuck was wrong with this lady?

"Do you even know where your daughter is?" I spoke up.

"No, and I don't care. I told you, she's out of the fucking house."

"Ma'am, your daughter is missing." I felt completely guilty for Y/n, I didn't know this was what she was dealing with.

Back then when Finn, Y/n and I would 'hang out', her mother wouldn't be this horrible? What happened now?

"Since when?" She laughs, acting as if I was lying.

"Check the news." I then sigh, backing away from the front steps. "Maybe you'll finally care about her."

I walk away, pushing myself off once I hopped on top of my skateboard.

I rode off to the next few houses, still searching.

I thought maybe I could visit Finney? How was he dealing with this?

  ~ Time Skip <3 ~

I knock on Finn's front door, waiting for a response.

Gwen opens the door quick enough, sighing in relief when she saw my face.

"Hey, Robin. Finney isn't doing so well, I think you should check on him."

"Will do, thank you Gwen."

I walked through the house, getting to his bedroom door, and knocked quietly.

A small sniffle came from the room. "Gwen, I said I'll be right out!"

"It's Robin." I assure him.

The door opens, causing me to stumble from the instant surprise.

"Hey- sorry. I thought you were Gwen." He apologizes.

"All good, buddy. What's going on?" Inviting myself in, I sit down on the edge of his bed, taking off my zip up hoodie, then laid it down beside me on my lap.

He shuts his door and makes his way over to me. "Do you think Y/n is going to be okay?"

I instantly felt my heart drop again at the reminder of Y/n being taken and now missing, who may even be reported dead if I'm not quick enough.

I take a second to breath, and then responded. "I know she will. She's strong, Finney. You know that. She's also brave. She'll hang on."

I didn't know if part of that speech was true or bullshit.

Of course she was brave and strong, I had no doubt about that.

But I wasn't sure if she was still alive right now.

Especially not after what had happened in the last few months with the missing kid cases that occurred every few weeks.

"I know she is, but..I just don't have a good feeling about this." Finn confesses.

"I know man, me neither, but she needs us - so we have to look for her." I instruct, the vision of her blood all over the parking lot replaying in my mind.

"Why are you suddenly so fond of her?" He wonders, asking this question out of the blue.

I struggle to find an excuse, so I just blurted something out. "She's my tutor. In math."

"That's why you care so much about her? I thought you were good in math?"

I sigh dramatically for the 89th time today, letting him know something is up.

"I like her." I babble, not noticing what I just admitted.

"You what?!" He cried out, starting to concern me for his upcoming reaction.

"Yeah. I like Y/n. A lot." I began.

"Robin-"

I cut him off, finishing my ongoing sentence. "It's just the fact that we've been hanging out a lot - and the fact that I just now realized I actually have been liking her for the past 2 years but I didn't notice it until now, because whenever she would touch me - if it were an accident or not, or even speak to me, I would get this weird feeling inside of me - as if my heart was turning inside out and upside down."

I let him know a lot of shit I swore I'd keep to myself, but I trusted Finney.

"Robin, why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I thought it was lame." I shrugged. I wasn't exactly ashamed of the fact that I loved Y/n, it was more of the fact that I was ashamed of being in love.

Especially with someone that I stand no chance with, whatsoever.

She hates my guts.

She even told me herself.

"It's not like I have a chance anyways."

"Sure you do, Robin. How about this. I'll set you two up on a date, alright? How about tomorrow? I can bring us three to an escape room because she loves that type of stuff, and then I'd say Gwen needs me to babysit her, then I'll leave you alone, cool?"

As soon as he said that, I started imagining how it would go down.

"Oh shit." He mumbles, and I look at him worriedly. "I forgot." Finn whispers, making my heart hurt once again.

Shit, why can't she just be okay?

Why her?

It could've been anyone else but her.

Why Y/n?

She was too precious for anyone to hurt her.
