Love Is Just An Act for Rivals

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

I see the bag fall to Molly's side and move away from Jeff as quickly as possible. "I'm sorry about this I whisper before slapping him hard across the face " What the hell was that Jeff?"

"Annie -I -just"

But it was too late. Molly was already out of the door, jogging down the hallway. Her sobs were loud enough for us both to hear. I quickly glanced at Jeff ,who was holding his face looking dumbfounded, before sprinting off to get Molly. I shout her name over and over. I can see her and I run to get her but before I can she is rushed off somewhere.

It takes me a while, because I'm out of breath and my legs hurt but I make my way across to O'Malleys. I reach the bar, coughing and wheezing, "god damn you asthma!" I shout waving my fist at the sky when I hear someone laugh behind me.

"Interesting, never knew where asthmatic."

"Well now you do" I look up to see who's talking to me and my jaw drops when I see both their faces. Megan's is bright red and Joe keeps on laughing.

"Are you guys on a date?" Joe lifts his hand up to show me that it is entwined with Megan's "I guess you could say that yeah. You looking for someone?"

"Yes I am, Molly, have you seen her?"

Megan looks worried "no why?"

"Eh, Jeff and I might have kissed a little."

"Oh god. I'll come help you look." Megan jumps off the stool and gives Joe a quick peck on the check.

"You might want to try Darren's place." Joe shouts after us.

We search high and Low for Molly but she is nowhere to be found. The only place we haven't checked is Darren's apartment. Joe gave us the address before we left. I took us a while to find but eventually we got there. When we did we knocked on the door. No reply. We rang the doorbell. No reply. Eventually Megan noticed that the door was open. We exchanged a quick look before I pushed it further. We stepped into the messiest room, books and clothes were thrown carelessly on the floor. The tv and the radio had been left on. "Hello?" Megan shouted. I hit her arm "shh!" We stepped further into the apartment. When eventually we come to a living room area.

And there was Darren and Molly in what can only be described as a compromising position. I threw a hand over Megan's eyes and the other over my own.

"Eh Molly? Can we have a word. In ehem, private?"
