26.

After about twenty minutes, Carl and I were watching out the windows, I noticed somebody in the distance, and as they got closer I realised it was Ron, "Carl, it's Ron!" I exclaimed, A man in a red jacket had a knife and was chasing him, Carl and I exchanged looks and rushed out the front door, Carl pointed his gun up at the man behind Ron and pulled the trigger and the man fell onto the ground and dropped the knife

The guy who Carl just shot was screaming in pain and holding his leg, Carl walked over to him with the gun aimed at him, I stayed stood on the porch, "Please man! please don't kill me, man please! help me please my leg" The man begged, Carl looked to Ron who was breathless, the man that was now begging for his life was now trying to grab Carl's leg trying to grab the gun off of him, my eyes widened and just like that Carl kicked him off and shot him in the head

"Come inside I can keep you safe" Carl stated to Ron, Ron turned his head to me and he furrowed his eyebrows, I gave him a blank stare and he turned back to Carl, "No" Ron scoffed and stormed away, Carl tried to call him back but he just ignored him

"Carl come on!" I yelled as I knew Ron wouldn't come back because of how stubborn he's being, He was going to get himself killed but he couldn't see that so I knew there was no point in trying, Carl quickly rushed up the stairs and went through the door and locked it behind him

After he locked the door Carl turned around and sighed, "Ron's gonna get himself killed" Carl said, "His house isn't far?" I turned around and walked down the hall and he followed me into the kitchen we both leaned against a counter, "Seriously, what is up with you and Ron? I saw the way he looked at you and then at me" Carl asked now in an annoyed tone that he knows I've been lying to him

"You really wanna know?" I sighed, "Didn't I ask?" Carl stated, I raised my eyebrows, "Ron and I are like" I paused for a moment wondering if Ron even still wanted to date and if there was still even a point in telling Carl, "I dunno, he's being a total jerk recently all because I didn't want to-

I stopped myself from saying anything else, "Does he have a crush on you?" Carl pried, My eyes widened slightly "Uh, I'm pretty sure" I told him the truth 

"And he's being a jerk because you didn't want to, what?" Carl questioned, I tapped my heel a few times waiting for him to bring something else up and avoid the question, "Nyla, I know you always do this when you're avoiding the question, what did Ron want? you know that you can tell me, we've been friends since elementary school" Carl reassured me, "I don't know if I can" I mumbled "Just forget I said anything, Okay?" 

"Alright, I know we're not as close as we used to be but you can tell me anything" Carl simpered, I smiled at him and he smiles back I looked away for a moment to think about how I would tell him that Ron's being a jerk because he thinks I was cheating on him with Carl which I obviously wasn't cheating on him, And the only reason Ron thinks that I was cheating on him because I didn't want to sleep with him

I looked back up at him and his eyes were staring right back into mine, I felt a tingly feeling in my stomach and I quickly snapped back in reality and turned my head away, "I should probably take watch" I told him, "Yeah" Carl mumbled and I walked into the living room

-.-

time skip two days later

Carl's POV:

"Hey, you okay?" I asked Ron as I walked up to him, "Why wouldn't I be?" He scoffed, I ignored his ignorance "Have you seen Nyla?" I asked him, "Not since I saw her with you" Ron sneered, "Come on man, Someones gotta tell her about Mark" I told him, Earlier my Dad came back and Mark and him had gotten into a fight and Mark disappeared and didn't come back, I knew we wouldn't be seeing him again and that's what Nyla wanted for her to never see Mark again, for him to die, well he might not be dead but he's still gone and for good 

Ron scoffed and got up, "Look, I don't care just leave me alone" 

"Well you should care about her 'cause she's your friend" I stated with furrowed eyebrows, "My girlfriend!" Ron corrected me and my lips parted Ron and Nyla were dating and she didn't even tell me? I was asking her about this and she didn't want me to know why would she do that, "Your girlfriend?" I questioned him to make sure I wasn't hearing it wrong, "I mean cause she was anyway right?" Ron snapped

"What are you talking about" I carped in an annoyed tone, "Well it's obvious she's cheating on me with you" Ron implied, I scoffed at him he could not be serious, "Well you're wrong" I rolled my eyes, "I'm gonna go find her" I told him and then turned around

"No, you're not!" Ron exclaimed and rushed towards me, I turned back around "Back off!" I pushed him away from me, He pushed me back I scoffed and pushed him again

Ron kept his arms on me and tried to push me again, with my anger about him and Nyla I threw a left hook at his face and he fell down on the ground, "You asshole" Ron yelled after he fell to the ground, I scoffed and turned away to go find Nyla, I can't believe that she would date him and not even tell me after I asked her about it, I mean I guess it seemed like she was going to tell me something about her and Ron but she never did, they have been spending a lot of time together since we arrived, How couldn't I have seen this coming?
