A Peaceful Living Hell ~ A Zodiac Story

Chapter 14

Leo

  Leo was lost. She had looked everywhere and didn't recognize anyone nor where she was.
 
  She decided to sit down hoping someone would find her.   Unfortunately, she had been sitting there for at least an hour and no sign of her friends.
 
  She had attempted to call them, but no one was answering. It seemed they had turned off their phone.
 
  She first tried Aries.
 
  Then Gemini.
 
  And Aquarius.
 
  The list went on until she got to the ones she didn't felt like calling.
 
  Virgo and Saggitarius.
 
  Luckily for her, both didn't answer.
 
  She sighed.
 
  Leo tried observing her surroundings. All she could see were people, which wasn't very helpful.
 
  That's when she managed to distinct a familiar white haired man.
"Capricorn!" She shouted in attempt to catch his attention.
 
  The man flinched.
 
  He tried escaping from her, but was much too slow and Leo caught him.

"Got you!" She exclaimed, grabbing his arm and dragging him away from the crowd.

"No!" He yelled out. "I can't go back to Aries!" He frantically turned to crowd hoping someone would save him.

"Help!" He cried out as a last resort. "I'm getting kidnapped!"
 
  Unfortunately, none of the passerby felt concerned for his well-being.   They paid no mind to his situation.
 
  Capricorn sighed and let himself get dragged away from the fiery ginger.

"Thank goodness I found you!" She loudly declared as she pushed him into a chair.
 
  He stayed quiet hoping she wouldn't remember how he was supposed to be with Aries. Right now, she didn't seem to realize.

"I was so lost." She exclaimed. "No one was picking up their damn phone!"

"Sorry..." He apologized.
 
  Leo then started looking around as if she was searching for something.

"Weren't you supposed to be with Aries." She asked him, unfortunately for him.

"Well...I might have escaped." He explained in a guilty tone as he attempted to avoid her glaze.

"Should've guessed that." She sighed.

"So where is she?" Leo continued.

"Don't know." He mumbled.
 
  She gave him a disdained look.

"Fine. Where were you before you escaped." Leo asked him although she didn't expect much of an answer.

"Um...slot machines?"

"We can work with that." She said. It was vague, but much more than she had initially expected. "But first, I'm going to need a drink."
 
  She made her way to the bar and Capricorn followed her from behind.
 
  He had attempted to escape multiple times when she was distracted, but Leo had learned from Aries' mistake and refused to let him out of her sight.
 
  At the bar, Leo went straight to the bartender to order.
 
  But she was interrupted by a man who put a hand on her shoulder.
 
  She was ready to attack him before realizing the familiar face.

"Scorpio?" She asked.

"So it is you!" He exclaimed loudly.

  His face was red and he was wobbling weirdly. It didn't take much to put two and two together.

"Is this your friend?" The bartender asked from over the counter in a New Jersey accent.
 
  Leo and Capricorn nodded.
