I almost forgot I was writing a fanfic ^^; Sorry for forgetting ;; ily guys, here's another update!】
"What?"
"Exactly what I said." Sal says, impatiently tapping his foot against the ground. You just got inside the elevator, holding onto his hand. He ruffles his hair, making it more of a mess than it already his. You frown, reaching up to run your fingers through them to straighten them out. "I want to think it's a joke, but Todd doesn't lie about shit like that."
The elevator doors open, and the both of you head to Todd's apartment immediately. He knocks gently, the door opening almost immediately. The two of you jump in surprise, but it's Larry by the door.
"You got here faster." Sal says, surprised.
"I saw it in the news." He mentions, letting the two of you in. "I thought you knew, but you guys were probably snogging it up in Sal's-"
"Shut the hell up." You whine, hiding your flushed face in Sal's shoulder.
"Alright, lovebirds, in here." Todd calls out, waving the three of you over to his room. You all take your places, with Todd being the one by his computer chair as he faces the three of you. He sighs, "It's pretty late so we can't really get the group here, but I'm hoping they can voice call or something."
"Yeah, we haven't really called in a while." Larry says, crossing his arms. "Are they on?"
"Liam is," Todd responds, holding onto his phone. "Ash and Mina too. I think this will be too much for Selene to learn."
"She sleeps early." You sigh, squeezing Sal's hand for comfort. You wanted her to be in the call as well so she wouldn't be left out, but you wouldn't want to wake her up anyway, "We can tell her at school, right?"
"Definitely." Todd confirms, holding out the phone. It rings for a few seconds before Ash's voice could be heard.
"Guys? Guys." She says, voice sounding panicked. "Is it true? Packerton's gone?"
"You saw the news, didn't you?" Larry frowns, sighing as well. "Liam, are you there?"
"I am." Liam speaks. "Guys I.. I can't believe it actually- it actually happened."
"What happened?" Sal asks, sounding impatient. "That Packerton died? And somehow you knew or something?"
"That's exactly it!" Liam cries, though you could tell he wasn't trying to be too loud. "I never wanted to tell anyone about this- this shit-"
The four of you flinch from him cursing, Liam almost didn't curse.
"Liam, calm down," You say, worried for him. You could tell he was on the verge of breaking down into tears by the way his voice was cracking. "What is it? You could trust us with it, right?"
"That's the thing," Liam whispers, almost sounding so pained. "I trust you guys so- so much, but I still can't bring myself to tell you guys."
"Just tell us, Liam." Sal snaps, seeming to play bad cop. His voice then softens, "We're not like Travis."
Liam laughs through the call, but it stills sounds so pained.
"I really feel like this is a curse, you know?" He says, coughing. "Ah fuck, this hurts."
"Liam?!" Larry exclaims, almost standing from where he was seated. He shakes his head, mumbling an apology.
"No, no sorry, Larry, I, yeah." Liam chuckles. "I didn't imagine it would really happen, you know? Wait, no, I knew it was going to happen, but I still didn't expect it. Haha, fuck, that's the thing, you now? The thing why I fucking keep this eyepatch on."
