"We have to go now

"We have to go now." Ruelle states, interrupting our date.

Confusion overtakes me and by the look on Niko's face, he's just as confused by her sudden intrusion.

"Why do we have to- oof." I say, getting whiplash by Ruelle suddenly pulling me and Niko up by our hands.

"Where are we going?" I ask as Ruelle tries to quickly guide me and Niko while we're drunk and stumbling everywhere.

"We need to leave town right now."

"But why?" Niko asks.

"I'll tell you both when we get to the car."

"The car? My car? You better not have touched my car."

"The car is safe." She assures him.

"That feels like deflecting to me Niko." I inform him.

"Me too. I swear if anyone has done anything...." He trails off, forgetting what he's going to say as he comes to a realisation. "I can't drive while drunk that would be illegal."

"As if you haven't done illegal shit before." She says. "But no, we're not letting you put our lives at risk."

"I'm not leaving my car." Niko insists.

Ruelle rolls her eyes. "We're not leaving your car."

"You're very confusing. Isn't she confusing, Blue?" Niko asks me.

"Very."

I stumble a little, falling over my own feet.

"I feel like I should be next to Maliah." Niko states. "I love Maliah, she's my girlfriend." He tells a random guy he passes.

"Nikolai." Ruelle grits. "Don't talk to anyone." She says, annoyed. Why is she annoyed?

"Why?" He asks. "I want everyone to know how much I love Maliah."

"I love you too." I tell him and we send each other a drunken smile.

"Amazing, glad we cleared that up." Ruelle states.

She opens the front door and when we get outside we go into an even faster paced walk.

"Woah." I say, stumbling all over the place and trying to keep up.

I look around.

I gasp when my eyes land on something. I pull it off the wall when we walk past so that I can get a closer look and make sure my eyes aren't deciving me.

I gasp.

"What?" Ruelle asks, keeping her fast-paced walk.

"This is my face."

Niko looks over and I show him the printed out picture. "It's a beautiful face." He comments.

Ruelle stops as we reach the car.
