Sex and the Treaty

A minute to own it.

Atticus's perspective:

Luke and I turned towards the bush to hear the voice which we just heard. I knew very well who it was and I also did know I was in deep shit problem. She came out of the bush with the already fixed frown planted on her face. Luke looked at me again and then we both looked at her. 

"I am not trying to suicide." Stacy yelled folding her arms. 

I sighed of relief. Thank the almighty she isn't retarded yet and I haven't provoked my girl to take her life. 

"You are not?" Luke asked amused now. I hit his stomach with my elbow and he cursed looking at me. 

"Know it before you spread it." I said sharply. 

Luke rolled his eyes to me and looked at Stacy again. 

"Then how do you explain the blood?" Luke asked accusingly. 

Stacy looked down and I focused my eyes more on her. Why was she looking away? Is she hiding something from us or does she know something but she isn't telling us because of our past. 

"I.. uh I really don't know." She shrugged looking up again. 

"You don't know?" I asked raising my eyebrows and she shook her head. 

"So there was blood on the counter too?" Luke asked trying to clear the matter. 

Stacy nodded so cutely that I just wish I'd kissed her there. Not caring about Luke or any other damn person. I loved the way the moonlight was sparkling on her face. Like she was the glistening angel to my agonized devil. 

She parted her lips and began. "Yes. I saw it when I was filling the bottle. I think either mum or--"

But the ruffling of bushes, stopped her voice and we all turned back. 

"Oh hey guys." Dean said unsure as he had logs on his shoulders. 

"Um. Hey.. Dean." Luke said trying to force a smile and I tried too. We maintained an awkward parting of silence between the four of us. Just looking at each other and then eyeing the ground, waiting for someone to start the talk. 

"Oh my god, you guys are here." Hailey entered with some barbecue sticks and raw veggies attached to it. 

Hailey is also here.

"Hey. Hailey." I said nodding and smiling again. 

"Okay explain later about what all the four of you are doing here, now come on, we're starting the game." Hailey said rushing us all towards the camp they had set up. 

"A game?" Stacy asked confused. 

"Yeah, a minute to own it. Come on." Hailey hurried again.

"A minute to what?" Dean asked now. 

"Own it." I completed but having the faintest idea of what she meant. 

"What does it mean?" Luke asked me and I shrugged. 

"Just come." Hailey scolded and all of us walked past her to prevent her from exploding. 

A minute to own it? 

Sounds so touche.

Stacy's perspective:

We walked back towards the place where our cars remained parked. Over the last hour events, I couldn't believe Atticus and Luke thought I was going to suicide. Like why on Earth would I take my life because a few morons ruined it? I'm not in a deformed state anymore and I'm very much happily living my life now.
