Helpless ( A Hamliza fanfic)(COMPLETED)

Chapter 26

~Peggy POV~

Peggy sat on the couch as Angelica paced the living room floor, wringing her hands and muttering under her breath.

Peggy has had her share of shock that day. First Maria showed up at their meeting, invited by Eliza. Peggy didn't think much of Maria. She was nice enough, but she was loud and shared in doing everything the other popular girls did.

Eliza had argued her case with both the other sisters, but Peggy hadn't changed her opinion. Eliza wasn't that great at persuading people to think her way unless is was logical and had no leeway.

Now Peggy was as sure as ever that letting Maria tag along was a mistake.

Eliza hasn't said a single word on the walk home. She didn't cry either, which Peggy thought was almost impossible. Come on, Eliza had just seen her boyfriend kissing another girl. There was no way that she felt nothing negative about it.

But, Eliza was pretty good at holding in her feelings for a time. She cried only when she was alone.

Angelica quickened her pace, and Peggy could just barely hear her words.

"I am going to kill Alex."

Occasionally she would put Maria's name in the same negative commentary.

Peggy did nothing and let her sister blow off some steam.

Eventually Angelica calmed down. She sat next to Peggy on the couch, her hands clenched.

"So," Peggy said tentatively. "Are we gonna talk about what happened."

Angelica glared at the television. "Can we talk about how I'm gonna kill Alex and Maria?"

"No."

Angelica sighed. "Fine."

"Well, before you start yelling at me, is there a possibility that it was a dare?" Peggy asked.

"No!" Angelica shouted. She lowered her voice when Peggy gestured up to Eliza's room.

"I mean, Maria kissing Alex might have been a dare, but Alex kissed her back and that wasn't."

Peggy sighed. "Maybe, but I'll give them both the benefit of the doubt."

"I don't see why."

Peggy shrugged. "You don't have to."

"Okay," Angelica leaned back into the cushions. "We'll get this one thing straight, though."

"What thingy thing thing?"

"We're getting to the bottom of it. We'll ask Maria if it was a dare, and if it was, we don't beat her up. Instead, we find out who dared her and beat them up. Then we beat up Alex."

"We're not beating up anyone. You can yell at them sure, maybe punch them once. One time. Maybe. I'll watch while you do that."

"Can I punch them twice?" Angelica asked.

"No," Peggy said firmly.

"Fine," Angelica whined.

"Do you think Liza's hungry?" Peggy asked.

"No, the last time she was stressed, she didn't eat for almost a whole day. You can try to call her down, though."

"Alright," Peggy said, and trudged upstairs.

She called for Eliza to come down, but Eliza yelled back, "I'm not hungry!"

Peggy then heard Les Miserables playing from Eliza's room, and went downstairs. That music was like bug repellent to her.

She shook her head at Angelica. "She's not coming."

"I expected as much," Angelica said. "Also, do you think Eliza would approve of me punching Alex and maybe Maria and maybe someone else?"

Peggy laughed. "Definitely not, Angie, do you even know Liza? She's a cinnamon bun. Even though she joked about hitting people, she'll never approve, especially if it's Alex. I know she still loves him."

Angelica scoffed. "Why would she still love him? He's unfaithful, he's-"

Peggy cut her off. "I don't know, Angie. I don't know how she retains her innocent-mindedness. I don't care if that's not a word."

Angelica sighed. "Yeah, she wouldn't, and seeing as we're doing this for her, I'll try to refrain from punching anyone. I'll try to. But, if they act like the stupid jerks that they are, then I'm gonna- I don't know what I'll do, but it won't be good."

Peggy rolled her eyes. "Fine, Angie. I'm going to eat now."

With that she ate dinner and went to bed.
