dahlias pov:

"what do i do?" i rubbed my face.
potato purred in my lap.
"i've been in this room all yesterday and today. and schlatt and niki are blowing up my phone."
i groaned.

i picked up potato and walked outside with my cigarettes.

i lit them and smoked while watching the sunset.

i wonder how schlatt is doing?
i hope he's doing shitty.

i hope nikis doing well.
i hope she isn't worried.

schlatts pov:

"ted! i fucked up."  i cried.

"what happened?"

"niki asked me to find out dahlias ring size cause she's going to ask them to marry her. i looked through dahlias room and found their cigarettes.
then they woke up and i asked them about it.
but i broke their boundaries cause i went through their room." i explained.
"and they got all pissy about it and told me i was acting like their dad.
and then they packed up with potato and left.
ted it's been three days." i took a sip of beer.

"shit."

"i just thought theyd come back. i'm worried ted."

"they'll come back."

"promise."

ted hesitated.
"i can't promise tha-"

i hung up and threw my phone.
i cracked opened another beer and chugged it.

dahlias pov:

i walked back into the room and laid down.

"potato." i pat the bed and he laid down next to me.
"meow twice if i should call niki."

he meowed.
blinked
and did a half meow.

"that doesn't count." i replied and rolled over and fell asleep.

<> <> <> <> <> <>

i held potato as i called niki.
my stomach doing turns and she picked up immediately.

"dahlia?!" she yelled.

"hi niki."

"oh my god." i heard her voice waver.
"dahlia i thought you were gone."

"i'm sorry."

"no it's ok. i understand, schlatt told me."

my head hurt at the thought of him.

"what did he tell you?"

"that you were mad that he went through your stuff. it's going to be ok."
she replied.
"dahlia, i need to tell you something. it's going to explain a lot but schlatt couldn't tell you."

"ok." i sighed and i pet potato.

"im... i needed your ring size. cause i wanted to find a ring... for you."

a engagement...ring?
or a promise ring?

"i asked schlatt to find out cause i couldn't just ask you. i never knew he was going to find your cigarettes. i didn't even know you smoked. im sorry i should've asked." she said sadly

"i- it's ok. it all makes sense now."

"can i ask why you were mad that schlatt went through your things?"

"my dad did that. he would go through my things and make fun of me. he would find sketches in my room and make fun of them. he would laugh at my style and i don't like people looking through my stuff cause it makes me feel vulnerable."
