Kori s POV
Marco lets out another sob and Lacy hands him another tissue. "I d-don't unders-stand! I thought we we-were fine and out of no-nowhere he dumps me!" My eyes meet with Indies and she give me a pitiful look. "Its okay, marco, he doesn't deserve you. " she says. "Ill tell you what- Kori and I will go pick up some Ben and jerry's for you." Marco looks up. " Cherry Garcia?" he asks. "Whatever you want. " he reaches for his wallet but I refuse. "Our treat, okay?" "you guys are the best" he says before bursting out crying.
Indie and I walk out of Marcos room, going downstairs to our bikes grabs my collar and pulls me into a deep kiss. When we're done I look at her quizzically. "I just want to make sure your not going anywhere." believe me, I'm not."
Indies POV
Once we get to the supermarket, I am looking through the aisles when I notice someone familiar. Actually, two people.
The first is one of the kind officers from that terrible night. I think his name was Charlie Smith? I was about to go say something to him, thanks, or, how are you, when I recognize the other man as the blood drains from my face.
Its my father.
I find Kori finishing paying for the ice cream and putting her bills into her purse. I grab her arm and yank.
"No time to explain, we have to get out of here. NOW. "
She freezes for a split second before shoving her stuff in her purse, grabbing the bag and running out with me.
