The Oblivious Two

I Gotta Keep It In The Dark

Malia pov:

It's the days after the incident and Morgan is a mess. I mean, she was just told that her girlfriend might die, who wouldn't be a mess. She's currently at the hospital with Ruby, doubting everything. I went to go get her some food, when I came back, she was talking to some police officers.

MD: my parents did this...they murdered her.

PO: attempted murder. She still might be with us.

MD: I can't believe I'm related to them...how are they my parents?!

"Morgan?" I ask softly.

"yea?" She responds. She's crying so hard it's not even funny.

"Your parents did this?"

"Yea.." as she said that she looked down at the ground, which is my cue to hug her.

I hug her for awhile and the officer leaves.

"Lia?" She asks softly.

"Yea?" I responded.

"Can you go home with me? I need to get something"

"Of course, maybe I can go myself if you tell me what you need."

"It's just my sketchbook. That's all."

"Don't worry I'll get it. Anyway do you need anything else? Like from 7/11?"

"Just the usual."

I pull away from the hug and respond. "Alright, hey I'll see you soon okay? I love you."

"I love you."

Peder pov:

Josh and I, chilling in Kylie's house on her couch, while she's upstairs in her room having her parents comfort her. Ruby was her best friend of ten years, this is taking such a big toll on her, and I wish I could do more to help. Obviously I was sad too, but I didn't have that bit of a connection to her like Kylie did.

Josh was just asleep, so I was alone in my thoughts. I was broken from my thoughts when I heard a phone go off. It was Kylie's, and Malia's calling. I just go pick it up because it can't be that bad, right?

I pick up the phone.

P(Peder): Malia it's Peder, Kylie is...well you could guess.

MB: Peder look, my parents are chasing after me and they do not look like they wanna talk. Can you come pick me up or something? I'm on pine street heading towards ocean.

I sprinted out of Kylie's house straight to my car. I mean me and her are two houses away so it's easy to get to my house.

P: I'm on my way.

I hang up, and speed over to ocean avenue. I saw her sprinting but no sight of Morgan. She's probably at the hospital.

"GET IN" I yell as she starts running faster until she reaches the car.

"DRIVE!!!" She tells me.

I do as told, and I drive away.

"You ok?"

"No not rly, but can we go to Kylie's?"

"Sure." I responded back hoping to ease her nerves.

We head to Kylie's and she seems to be looking everywhere. Her parents might be trying to kill her. Once we get to Kylie's, I knock on the door. Kylie answered, as she pushed me aside for Malia.

Well that was harsh.

"Malia are you okay? How you holding up?" Kylie asks worried.

"I'm okay, and i should be asking you that." Malia responds, as I just watched.

Maybe I should start looking for my someone. I said as I thought to myself.

"I'll be okay, I've heard they did Ruby's surgery, so I'll be fine."

I know I'm usually collected, but, seeing all these couples. Even if Kylie and Malia weren't together (yet). It's just hard, knowing I won't find love like that. I know I shouldn't, but I just slip away without anyone noticing until I got to my house, I just needed a minute.

Josh's pov:

When I woke up I saw that Peder was gone and Malia came here. Her and Kylie are just on the porch, laughing about something, and it's adorable. I just wish they would become a couple already, I swear.

I am curious where Peder went so I go ask the girls.

"Hey you know where Peder went?"

"Wait he left?" Kylie says, confused.

"Yea, he was just right there." She pointed to a spot, where I suppose Peder just was.

"Oh okay, thank you anyway." I say as I walk back inside.

Peder pov:

I'm just laying in my bed eating a tube of ice cream. Ima probably stay here for a couple days...yes I know it's bad but...it's the only way to help so ima do it. I just don't feel like keeping it in anymore. I can't get over the fact my parents died, my family hates me because the think I'm a "gold digger" while they're the ones asking for money. It's just this big mess and I gotta keep it in the dark.
