Broken Hearts

They walked into the house and found Angelica almost immediately.

"Angie! We need to go home." Eliza said sternly.

"Why? Is Peggy bored?" Angelica asked.

"Nope. Way worse." Peggy and Eliza explained what had happened to Peggy.

"Charles really did that?" Thomas asked.

"Would I lie?" Eliza asked.

"Damn. I'm so sorry Peggy!" Angelica said.

"Don't worry, I'm fine now!" Peggy said. "I just want to go home; I'm still shaken up."

"Eliza, you can drive my car. I'm going to spend the night."

"Okay. Come on, let's find Alex." Eliza walked off.

They looked all over for Alex, but they couldn't find him.

"Can't we just leave him here?" Peggy asked.

"No!" Eliza screamed.

"Oh, alright!"

They kept looking. They opened every single door in the house. Then Eliza opened a door to find Alex on top of Maria.

"Alex?" She cried.

"Eliza? What are you doing in here?" Alex looked at her.

"It's a long story, but we were going home and weren't going to leave without you."

"Oh."

"You're a fucking bitch, you know that?" Eliza shouted.

"Eliza, I'm sorry!"

"No, I'm sorry I trusted you!"

"Baby!"

"No! Don't 'Baby' me! I'm not your 'Baby' anymore!"

"No, Eliza! Please! I'm so sorry!"

"Please shut the fuck up! Oh, and don't tell me it was Maria's fault this time!"

John came in. "Did you find Ale-"

"John let's go." She said through tears.

"You bitch!" John screamed at Alex.

"Jackie please don't start too!"

"You were my boyfriend too, Alex! I can't believe you!"

"Jackie, I'm sorry!"

"I'm not your boyfriend, and I'm not your friend. Stop calling me that!"

"Fine, then."

"Eliza? John?" Peggy walked in. "Holy shit! How the fuck could you do this to John and Eliza?"

"Peggy, let it go!" Eliza said.

"No he hurt you, Liza! I'm going to hurt him back! Plus he's with our friend, so she'll pay too!"

"Peggy, I'm fine! I have someone! He's way nicer and a way better kisser. Plus he's trustworthy!" Eliza glared at Alex.

"Oh yeah, who?" Alex laughed.

Eliza went over to John and kissed him. When they finished, she looked at Alex and grabbed John's hand while smirking. "Come on, Baby. Let's go home."

Eliza drove them back to her house. She led John up to her room and hugged him.

"Eliza, I'm so sorry!" John said.

"No, it's not your fault. It's Alex's fault." She started to cry.

"Eliza, it's all going to be fine!" He sat down on her bed.

"You're right. You know why?" She sat next to him.

"Why?"

"Because I have you!" She grabbed his hand. "I love you, John."

"I love you too." He kissed her cheek.

"Alex is a bitch." She laughed.

"Well you've cursed a lot tonight! Everyone says you're pretty clean."

"When you're mad, it just happens!" She hugged him.

"Let's get some sleep. You've had a rough day." He laid down still holding Eliza.

"So have you!"

"Listen, my heart may be broken, but I didn't chase someone down the street because he tried to get with my sister now did I?"

"No."

"Good night, Babe. I love you."

"I love you too." She paused. "Can you kiss me, one more time?"

"I guess!" John ran his hand through her hair and kissed her. "Better?"

"Sure." She laughed.

"Sure? What does that mean?"

"Just go to sleep!"

"Wait, one thing." And he kissed her again.  Eliza grabbed his hand and fell asleep.
