Screaming To Death ¥ Noah Foster

~ Audrey is the captain of the ship ~

Olivia walked downstairs one morning and saw her mom cutting up kale. "Are you making that sausage and kale thing?" She chuckled as Emma came into the kitchen. "Must be love."

"It's the first dinner we're going to be having in a while without eating out of styrofoam." Maggie told the two girls. "Dinner is at seven." Maggie sighed. "I hope he likes it. It's the only thing I know how to make."

"Mom, he's not here for the kale." Emma joked as she poured coffee for herself and Olivia.

"Hey, I'm glad we talked about Brandon." Maggie stated.

"Oh not this again." Olivia poured her coffee into a thermos. "I had to get left out of another thing?"

"It must have been hard keeping it a secret all those years." Emma stated, totally ignoring her sister.

"You learn to live with it." Maggie went back to cutting the kale.

"It's like I don't even exist." Olivia groaned as she drank some coffee.

"What about dad?" Emma asked her. "You said the two of you had a fight that night. But you must have moved past that. Got married, had us." Emma motioned to her and her sister.

"And even through everything, I loved your dad." Maggie told her. "In a way, almost losing them brought us closer together. And having the two of you certainly did."

"Then why the hell did he leave?" Olivia spoke up.

"Not everyone learns to live with it." Maggie sighed as she spoke. There was a beep from a car horn outside. "Who's that."

"Kieran." Emma answered before Maggie and Olivia gave her a look. "What?" Olivia nudged her and winked. "Olivia, we are just friends." Emma stated before leaving.

"Who's driving you today?" Maggie asked her daughter as Olivia sat down.

"Noah." Olivia looked down at her phone.

"Oh, that's good." Maggie smiled at her daughter. "So, is there anything going on there?"

"I'm not sure yet." Olivia shrugged as she heard a car horn beep outside. "Bye mom."

"Make good choices." Maggie shouted as her daughter walked out the door.

Olivia got into the back of Noah's car, as Audrey was sitting in the front seat. "Hey, Olivia." Noah smiled at her.

"Hello." Olivia smiled as Noah started the car again.

The car ride started off completely silent, with the occasional phone beep or buzz, until Audrey finally spoke. "There is so much sexual tension right now, oh my god."

"Audrey!" Noah shouted at her.

"What?" Olivia questioned, not fully comprehending what Audrey had just shouted.

"Can someone just please lock you two in a closet sometime soon." Audrey rolled her eyes at the two nerds she was surrounded by. "Actually, that's a good idea. And as the captain of this ship, I will take action." Audrey took out her phone, texting Emma. "I think that Emma and I might do that."

"Wait-"

"Oh, look." Noah stopped his car in the parking lot. "We're there."

"Okay." Olivia chuckled as she got out of the car. "Thanks for the ride."

"Uhuh." Noah smiled and laughed awkwardly as he watched Olivia walk away from the two. "Audrey, why would you-"

"Alright, I was just trying to help." Audrey sent him a smile. "I know that you won't do anything yourself, so I was just trying to make it happen faster."
