{A Week Later}
Today we have the day off from set, so Lizzie and I decided to hangout. She decided to drag me out to the mall to shop. Not my ideal day but I move on. "Babe! Look" She waves me over to her as I carry two of the bags she already has. "That's cute! I see a lot of people getting these things. Aren't they adorable." She holds up a Squishmallow as I just shake my head. "What are they called? Squishmallows?"
"Darling. Is this your way of telling me you want a squishmallow?" I raise an eyebrow as she wraps her arms around it.
"Maybe.." She says softly. I sigh rolling my eyes and take the stuffy from her. "Hey what are you doing?"
"Buying the damn thing darling" I laugh walking up to the register. I look behind me seeing her trot along behind me with a smile on her face.
She walks up next to me as the lady rings up the stuffy, "That'll be 25 dollars." The lady says.
"25?" I look from her to Lizzie, who happens to be staring back at me wide eyed.
"You don't have to buy it babe!" She pouts and goes to grab the squishmallow.
"No no you wanted one darling, you're getting one." I kiss her cheek and then pull my wallet out of my pocket. "Here you go, 25 dollars." I hand the cashier the money and wait for my change. Once I put my change in my wallet, I grab the squishmallow and hand it to Lizzie. "Here you go love, one stuffy."
"You didn't have to buy it. I didn't realize it was that much for it" She frowns.
I roll my eyes, pushing the squishmallow into her arms. "It's fine I wanted to buy it for you. You're just lucky I like you so much" I laugh as she rolls her eyes back at me and squeezes her stuffy. "Are we done in here then? Shall we go look somewhere else?"
"Yes!" She starts out the door so I quickly follow after her. Then she stops and begins looking around, "Hm.. Maybe we could look at some shoes? Just to look"
"Sure darling we can do that." I smile as we start walking towards the shoe store. But then my heart stops, as I see her. And of course, we are heading straight towards her. "Lizzie!" I whisper yell as I grab her hand stopping her.
"What is it?" She turns to me confused.
"We have to go. Now!" I pull her towards me and look back past Lizzie to see if she noticed us.
"What do you mean? I thought we were going to look at shoes?" She queries as she squeezes my hand gently.
"That'll have to wait till another time Lizzie. We need to leave right now!" I start walking in the opposite direction pulling her along with me.
"Whoa slow down babe!" She huffs as I continue dragging her along with me.
Then I hear. "Y/n!"
"Fuck."
"Who just yelled your name?" Lizzie queries as we stop.
"I'll tell you later. For now, hold onto the stuffy." I warn her while fixing the bags on my arms.
"What do you mean hold on-" I interrupt her by picking her up bridal style and running out of mall. "Babe! What are you doing!?" She grips onto me and the stuffy as I bolt towards her car.
Once we get to her car I set her down on her feet, unlock the car and quickly toss the bags in the back seat. "Let me see the keys."
"Why?" She queries.
"Lizzie I'll explain in the car. Please give me the keys darling." I hold out my hand as she stares at me silently. After a moment she sighs and hands me her keys.
We quickly get in the car and I speed off away from the mall. A few minutes pass before Lizzie puts her hand on my arm, "Babe, are you ok? What happened back there?"
I take a deep breath and sigh afterwards. "I saw my ex. That's who yelled my name. That's why I freaked out and started running." I look behind us and then pull over down a side street.
"Wait what?! She was there??"
"Yes.." I stop the car and turn towards her grabbing her hands. "I'm sorry for dragging you along and then running while carrying you darling. I just needed to get us out of there.." I frown looking down at the center console.
Lizzie then takes her hands out of mine and grabs onto my face softly. "It's ok Y/n. I'm not mad or anything. I am sorry we saw your ex though. Why don't we go back to your house and we can just sit and cuddle for the rest of the day?" She smiles softly at me.
"I'd love that but, I'm afraid she'll stop by my house today since she saw us." I sigh as she rubs her thumbs softly against my cheeks.
"Then my house maybe? Or if you want we can hide out at Scarletts." She smiles still holding my face in her hands.
"Well.. I'd like to be as far away from my house as possible while staying in town... So Scarlett's since she lives the furthest me." I explain grabbing on to her wrists softly.
"Scarlett's it is. Then after awhile we can go back to my house and stay there for the night. Is that ok?"
"I like that plan. Thank you" I smile softly, then she pulls me closer to her and kisses me lovingly.
"No need to thank me. Now I'll text Scar and tell her we are coming over while you drive" She smiles kissing me again. I nod in agreement and start heading towards Scarlett's house.
I keep checking my rear view mirror to see if my ex is following us while we drive to Scarlett's. Then we finally get to her house, I do one more look around before turning the car off and heading up to the front door. Scarlett opens the door smiling, "Hey you two, come in. I just got home with Rose"
Lizzie and I walk inside and head into the living room with Scarlett. "Thank you for letting us come over and interrupt your day off." I smile while sitting down on the couch with Lizzie.
"It's no problem I wasn't doing much today anyway. Can I ask why you needed to come here in a rush?" Scarlett questions, joining us on the couch.
"Uh..." I look at her then at Lizzie.
"You don't have to say if you don't want to" She smiles over at me past Lizzie.
"Let's just say we saw an old ex of mine and needed to leave." I rub the back of my neck nervously.
"I understand that. Well feel free to stay as long as you like. I enjoy the company"
"Thanks Scarlett" I smile taking a deep breath. Then she gets up to go into the kitchen and Lizzie kisses my cheek making me look over at her. She smiles then leans her head on my shoulder grabbing my hand. I smile and lean my head on hers while closing my eyes. I'm glad I have her here with me.
