Will it be us? (Liza Koshy David Dobrik)

77. Can I stay here?

Liza's POV

"You're pregnant?!" Gabbie yells, I nod in respond. "Congrats! Oh wait...fuck." I nod again. "Why can't I just have one happy pregnancy Gabbie." I ask. "I don't know girl. But you're gonna get through this. We're all here to help you." "Thanks babe." Gabbie gives me a peck on the cheek and gets up. "Something to drink?" She asks. "Yes please. A soda." When Gabbie's in the kitchen Zane comes in carrying Mila. He puts her down and she walks over to me. Mila reminds me so much of Skye. She's a bit older now than Skye was when she died. Although I get sad from it I still love her very much. She climbs in the couch and when she finally did it, she crawls on my lap. "Liza!" She says happily. "Hey baby." I say hugging her. "You cry?" She asks. Zane sits next to me on the couch. "No babe I'm okay." I say. "So ehh Liza, you're pregnant." Zane says. "How do you know?" I ask him. "I heard Gabbie yell it. I'm sorry if it was not meant for me to hear." He replies.
L: It's okay. But me and David are done.
Z: What?! Why?
L: He cheated on me.
Z: Seriously? Where is he now?
L: I don't know. I kicked him out. I don't want him here anymore.

David's POV

I grab my backpack and drive towards Emma's house. I'm gonna ask her if I can stay there for a while. I ring the bell and wait until she opens. "Hey David!" She says when she opens. "Hey!" I give her a hug. "Can I come in? It's an emergency." I ask. She hesitates but eventually lets me in. I sit on the couch. Then a guy without a shirt comes out from Emma's bedroom. He looks like some off brand skater. I look confused. "Yo man I'm Larry." "I'm David." He gives me a high five and then kisses Emma on the cheek. He puts on a shirt that's laying on the floor. "I'm gonna go get food babe. You want something?" "No thanks." They give each other a peck and he opens the door. "Laters Dave." And he's gone.

I look at Emma with a confused face. "What's wrong?" She asks.
D: Who was that?
E: Larry
D: Yeah, who's Larry?
E: A guy.
D: Emma. Did you sleep with him?
E: Uh yes. But why do you care?
D: I thought we had something.
E: What?! No Dave, I really like you. But I'm not ready for a serious relationship yet.
D: Oh...
E: But why did you come over?
D: I need somewhere to sleep. Eh my house is getting new carpeting. But I'll go then.
E: Okay. Good luck.
D: thanks.

I get up. "So I guess this is goodbye?" I ask, Emma just nods. "Can I hug you?" She asks back. I hug her and we hold each other for a few moments.

I get back in my car and just sit. Where do I have to go? Scotty, Todd, Jason and Heath went to New Zealand so I can't go to their house. It's already getting dark outside. I'm hungry, I'll go to the store real quick.

I come back and sit in a park on a bench. I eat a sandwich and I just stare forwards. A few moments later a man comes towards me, I think he's in his 60's "Good evening. Can I join you?" He asks pointing to the bench. "Yes of course. " I reply. He smiles and sits down.
M: Do you know what time it is?
-I look at my phone-
D: it's 8:30 pm.
M: thank you. What are you doing here so late all alone young man?
D: I fucked up.
M: Don't we have all in some way...
D: What do you mean?
M: We all did something we regret in life.
D: I guess so. What are you doing here?
M: I've been homeless for over 20 years. I love it. What's your name?
D: I'm David. Yours?
M: I'm Peter.

I talked with Peter all night. He's a really nice man. He gave me advice and some new perspectives on life. We both fell asleep on the bench.

*next morning*

I wake up and my back hurts. I stretch out and see Peter is still asleep. I go to the store quickly to buy us some breakfast. When I come back I almost trip over my shoelace. I put my backpack on the ground and bend over to tie it. When I get back up I want to grab my backpack. It's not there. I look around, my bag is nowhere to be seen. Fuck! Someone stole it! I run back to Peter who is now awake. I sit down and start crying. I literally lost everything. "Hey hey what's up?" Peter asks come concerned. "My backpack got stolen! It had everything in it! My wallet, my phone, my keys, my camera, everything! I can't even get in my car now!" He pats my back. "It'll be okay." He says. I hand him the plastic bag. "What's this?" "Breakfast." He smiles at me. "Thank you kind man." "Peter. Can you tell me why I'm so dumb." I ask. "What do you mean?" He replies. "I had everything. A beautiful wife, great friends, a good YouTube channel, a big house. And I just fucked everything up because I'm such a stupid ass jerk."

Liza's POV

I just went for a check up this morning. Everything is fine with the baby, who is now 3 months old. It was weird though, I really missed David there with me. I decided what I'm going to tell him.
