after school i met lizzie in her classroom and unsurprisingly rose was there. "sweetheart what happened to your face" lizzie asked as she threw her bag over her shoulder and walked closer to me. 

"i ran into a pole" i said looking at the lines in her face as she was standing over me looking at the damage. she shook her head  asking if i had gone to get ice and again i said no. 

once we got home i learned rose and her brother were staying with us for a week. and this time the boys were taking the pull-out bed while we had the bedroom. they were all exited about it. as soon as we got home i had left to my room and laid on my bed. 20 minutes later rose had come in and sat on matties bed. 

"are you good? you seem off" she asked me as i turned my head to look at her. 

"why wouldnt i be good" i responded shoving my face back in the pillow. i want to take a nap. "are you good?"

"what? yeah im fine. are you sure" she asked me again. 

"yes rose. why were you laughing with bryce and that earlier, i thought you hated them" 

"what do you mean?" of course she plays fucking dumb. she asked me again and i just rolled over. i seriously didnt care enough to continue the conversation i was just curious. pulling the blanket over me i see her on her phone.

y/n went to sleep so i laid on my bed to quietly go on my phone. it was hours later when lizzie came in saying dinner was ready. i went over to y/n to wake her. she had tears on her face and when she woke up she looked scared. 

"dinners ready" i said quietly. and she nodded sitting up and wiping her eyes i waited until she was ready and we walked out to the kitchen together. lizzie had plated y/ns already and asked me how much i wanted. 

after dinner y/n left for a shower and i waited on the couch so i could go in after. lizzie and i were talking about school while the boys watched slugterra on the tv. 

half an hour later i hear the bathroom door open then the bedroom door shut. lizzie seemed confused aswell as usually everyone spent the evenings together. i walked into the room to get clothes for a shower and i saw y/n sat in the corner between the bed and wardrobe. it was small and has got to be squishy. 

she had her headphones on and was staring at the carpet infront of her. "y/n" i questioned and got no response, i said her name again and she looked up with no expression on her face. "do you want to go on a walk?" i asked knowing thats what she did to clear her head. 

"lizzie wont let me go out passed 8pm" she said and we both looked at the clock that read 7:53 so there wasnt much point. 

"what if i convince her" she nodded skeptical and i went back out to lizzie as she was sipping a hot tea. "can y/n and i go on a walk?" she turned her head to look at me before looking at her watch. 

"its almost 8, and a school night?" 

"somethings up with her and i can tell she just needs to clear her head. we will be safe and home before 9" i offered her and she nodded getting me to share my location. i dont know where she thought we would end up. the towns only so big. 

i went back to y/ns room and nodded and she stood up. we put our shoes on and left. we were talking about how much we love night walks. her answers made so much sense. 

"my mum never lets me out at night, hopefully lizzie doesnt tell her" i told her and she hummed in response. with her hands in her pockets we were walking through the streets. 

"shit" i heard her mutter, all of a sudden she pulled me down a side path and off the main streets. 

"whats wrong" "um scary people who are hunting my father and now me" 

"what! why are people hunting you?" "because my dad owes them shit, but hes not here so im the damage" i asked her why she hadnt told anyone and she shrugged. "its not that bad" 

i just looked at her with my jaw dropped, these guys look like people you do not want to mess with and all shes saying is its not that bad. we started to walk again in the opposite direction of them. 

we ended up around the service station and headed in for slushies it was open till 10pm and the guy behind the counter was on his phone. 

"no look, put the lid on first then you can fill it up even more" i showed her as we picked our flavors. after i paid for them we sat in the carpark drinking them. we were right next to eachother since it was actually freezing out but i enjoyed it. 

"who would have thought we would be friends" i said and she nodded. 

"i know. to think i hated you in grade 3" 

"what why?"

"you stole the blue beanbag for quiet reading, im a petty bitch" she laughed and i seriously didnt remember that. 

we continued exchanging stories and memories of eachother and it lead to alot of cringy memories on my end. i hope everyone forgets how i was from ages 11-13. but we quickly realise we should have been home 3 minutes ago so i text lizzie so she isnt worried and we walk home. 

she went straight to bed and i went for a shower after delaying it since dinner.
