One night

Chapter 13: Ice Cream Truck

Y/Ns world stopped, everything went quiet. She couldn't hear Vance or Robin talking to her, she just stared at the TV, the reporter frantically talking into her microphone, eventually after what seemed an eternity, the TV got shut off. Y/N looked between Vance and Robin. Vance was kneeling and Robin was sitting criss cross, but each had a hand on each of her shoulders. Y/N started sobbing, and wouldn't stop. Vance leaned in more, "Y/N, Y/N it's okay, you're safe here, I won't let anything happen to you." Robin takes note of Vance's comforting hand rubbing her back and a surge of jealousy washes over him. Robin starts speaking softly to Y/N, shutting down Vance's attempts to calm her down. "It's ok, I'm here with you, you're okay. I promise." Y/n's breaths came in ragged and unevenly. "Hey back off her a bit you're suffocating her, damn." Vance scoffed and crossed his arms. "You're really starting this now, Vance? She's freaking out, stop being selfish." Vance rolled his eyes, "Okay, you aren't even helping her dude." Robin backed up from Y/n to face Vance, "I don't see you even trying to calm her down." Vance laughed, "Jesus dude, you really are a try hard huh?" Robin looked disgusted at Vance, "You don't do anything with your life, I don't think you can comment on mine." Vance and Robin continuously bicker back and fourth, progressively getting louder to the point of yelling, waking the whole house up. Y/n's crying has worsened at this point, the yelling and all of it are overwhelming the hell out of her. Vance shoved Robin and Y/n got up and ran into the bathroom. The boys continued shoving and pushing each other, egging each other on to hit the other. After a minute or so of yelling, Robin's mom storms into the room, they had woken her up. "¡Ey! ¿Qué estás haciendo? ¡Estás despertando a toda la maldita vecindario!" (Hey! What are you doing? You're waking up the whole damn neighborhood!) The boys both stopped, they turned and were both still fuming. "Lo siento Mamá, ¡pero él empezó!" (Sorry mom, but he started it!) Robin pointed at Vance angrily.

 "Can we please use English if you're talking about me?" Robin turned to Vance, "If you wanna be part of the conversation so badly, learn Spanish, asshole." Robin's mother raised her hand to slap Robin and he backed up just in time. "Do not use that language in my household Robin! And I don't care who started it, you guys have woken the whole house up with your loudness! Take other people into consideration." The boys calmed down and stopped fighting. "Me voy a la cama, no me vuelvas a despertar." (I'm going to bed, don't wake me up again.) She started walking away but before she rounded the corner she added, "O te mato te lo juro." (or I will kill you i swear) Robin scratched the back of his neck, "si Mamá." (Yes mom) Vance turned to Robin, "translate." Robin rolled his eyes, "If we wake her up again, she's gonna kill us." Vance's expression changed from anger to slight shock, Vance sat down on the couch, he put his face in his hands, attempting to calm down while Robin walked over to the bathroom door and knocked softly, "Y/n? Are you okay?" No reply. Vance followed Robin and they sat against the wall across from the bathroom door. They sat in silence for a good minute, neither of them being able to come up with the proper words for the situation. "No more fighting?" Robin lent his hand out to Vance, he reluctantly shook it in agreement. Y/n opened the door and closed it behind her, she leaned against the door across from the boys, her face red but less puffy. Robin took a breath to think for a moment, "Do you need anything? What can I get for you to help?" Y/n rested the back of her head against the door, looking towards the roof. "I need somewhere to sleep for awhile... My dad works night shifts, I don't want to be home alone." Vance and Robin said in union, "You can stay at mine." Y/n laughed a bit and looked to the boys, "I need clothes and to tell my dad what's happening." Robin nodded, "I can go by your house right now." Y/n smiled at him and told him what clothes she wanted specifically and to grab her school bag and an extra duffel bag, that was all in her room, to put the extra clothes in. Robin nodded again and stood up, "Wait you can't go alone! I'll go with you." Robin shook his head, "Hell no. You aren't leaving this late." Y/n stood up too, "Well you aren't going alone, and plus what if you forget what stuff I want." Robin sighed and rubbed his face with his hands. "I already memorized it but I'll ask my mom to go with me, she can drive me. Go in my room and just calm down and gather your thoughts a bit, alright? I got the clothes and I'll talk to your dad if he's there." Y/n nodded and hugged him, tight. "And some M&M's." Robin laughed a bit, she didn't want to let go but he eventually pulled out of the hug and walked down to his mothers room.
