Because of you

Villains or heroes?

Coen: *heartbreaks, stepping back*

Night: Coen, let me explain it please

Coen: *tears fall, shaking his head*

Night: Madi moved me back to Arcadia to watch over you, to protect you

Coen: *anger begins, his head lifting* so I was a pawn, I was a game for you two

Night: that's not what I said Coen!

Coen: you're right because you don't have to, you don't have to say anything anymore

Night: she was different Coen, I believe everything you've told me but that wasn't the Madi I knew

Coen: she was different with everyone night! *Pacing* she was a good liar that way

Night: Coen I never thought I was going to fall for you, I wouldn't have even looked in her direction if I had known-

Coen: seriously night that's what they all say, if you had known, if anyone would have known we wouldn't be here. Nobody knew and that was the point

Night: Coen it was a long time ago I was scared then, lonely if you will! I needed someone anyone and she was there

Coen: she has a good habit of doing that to people

Night: *steps twords him* Coen please

Coen: *steps back, still pacing* how long were you with Madi? How long have you been back?

Night: a long time Coen, a long time. That will never change how I feel about you, in the end I choose you I always have and always will

Coen: no Night you haven't always, maybe you always will, but you haven't always. We both know that *opens his bathroom door slamming it behind himself as he enters*

Night: *sighs, sitting against it* Coen I'm not the villain

Coen: *muffled behind the door* you aren't the hero either.

Night: *sighs, running a hand through his hair*

Coen: *opens the old journal, reading an entry*
••••••••••
Night: *sneaks up behind Madi* boo!

Madi: *jumps, hitting his arm* don't do that!

Night: *chuckles, wrapping his arms around her* awwe it's ok I'm not that dangerous

Madi: *shakes her head* I guess not huh

Night: *smiles, kissing her head* ok so what are we going to do this weekend we have two days all to ourselves

Madi: *chuckles* well about that

Night: *sighs* who now?

Madi: his name is coen I want you to meet him *sits on the hood of nights car*

Night: you want me to meet another one of your friends that just happens to be a dude

Madi: oh don't get all protective over there he's special

Night: that literally makes everything ninety times worse

Madi: *smirks* Coen is not gonna be around much longer if that makes sense

Night: what do you mean?

Madi: great question isn't it *looks at the clouds* you'll see, you'll all see
•••••••••••••••
Coen: *slams the book shut, tears falling* do you still have feelings for her?

Night: *head lifts, his voice muffled* no coen I don't

Coen: *shakes his head, opening the door*

Night: *stands up moving back* Coen-

Coen: *walks past him and down the stairs to the front door*

Night: *chases after him* Coen wait!

Abby: *rushes over* what the hell happened?

Coen: *crying* ask night

Abby: *pissed, turning to night* what did you do?

Coen: *crying, leaving the house into the rain*

Luke: Coen!

Night: *tries to go after him*

Abby: *pushes him back* hell no you start talking now

Luke: *runs after Coen*

Coen: *crying, walking pointlessly through the storm*

Luke: *catches up to him* Coen what happened

Coen: I don't want to talk about it

Luke: *grabs his arm* Coen! I lost you once I'm not going there again you're hurting and I want to know why so tell me!

Coen: *stopping himself from crying anymore, using it for anger* you wanna know what Happened!? You weren't the only one who dated Madi

Luke: *connects the dots, looking at him* Coen i-

Coen: *fake little laugh, turning around* just don't Luke

Luke: Coen you can't run

Coen: I can try

Luke: *shakes his head, getting frustrated* Coen what do you want from all of us?

Coen: *turns around* I just want my family back
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Abby: you dated her too!!

Night: for like ten minutes ok I didn't know!

Abby: who else has dated Madi?

Parker: at this rate literally the whole damn town

Night: *pacing, shaking his head* he wasn't supposed to find out like that

Abby: oh really? So tell me genius how was he supposed to find out?

Night: I had plans to tell him! I just, I couldn't ok?

Parker: *looks at night then Abby* Abby it's understandable

Abby: the hell it is!! Coen deserved to know that!

Night: I know!! But that's not the whole story

Abby: then what is!

Night: I was with Madi the day she.....

Parker: *folds his arms* the day she?

Night: *sighs* the day she died
••••••••••
Madi: *lays down* I don't wanna go tonight

Night: ok seriously what's wrong with you? It's Halloween you never miss Halloween

Madi: guess this year's different *phone rings, sending it to voicemail*

Night: *jaw tense* that's the fifth time he's called you

Madi: it's his birthday he'll leave me alone eventually

Night: madi maybe-

Madi: maybe you should do the same night

Night: what do you mean?

Madi: leave me alone, just go

Night: Madi what's wrong are you-

Madi: go!! Get out night!

Night: *confused, going to her door* did I do something?

Madi: no night and that's the point, now just get out *rolls over facing away from him*

Night: *sighs walking out of her room*
•••••••••••
Night: I didn't pick up on it when I was there, maybe I could have stopped it, maybe I could have saved Coen from everything

Abby: *runs a hand through her hair* this is a mess

Parker: why didn't you talk to her parents or someone?

Night: I don't know honestly I don't

Abby: so why play innocent this whole time? Why keep it to yourself

Night: isn't that obvious yet? Because of him
