Felicity's POV

"So what do we do now?" Fran asks me. He came running as soon as I called and then once he helped me calm down, we left. Just left. Without calling in sick or anything.

We are sitting in Abizza's right now. I didn't know any other place. Everyone would've went to Bluemoon after school. Can't go to a bowling place and mall in situations like these. Plus, I think I really need Abizza's milkshake right now.

"I don't see any other option" I tell Fran.

"So you're just gonna stop talking to him?" he asks.

"Do you have any other idea?" I ask him. My voice coming out all tired.

"But you were going to tell him the truth anyways. Then tell him now. He'll understand"

"The problem is not whether Felix would understand or not. The problem is that if Brynn really calls Nick then he would know where we are, Fran"

Fran's eyes widen.

"Oh no no no. This can't happen" he says.

"I know. And this time, that doesn't only put us in danger. It'll be everyone. So I can't tell Felix about all of this now"

"She's his past. He hates her. Threatening you to stop hanging out with him isn't gonna make him, un-hate her" he says.

"Yeah, somebody tell that to her" I say.

"Okay why don't you keep hanging out with him but in secret. I mean don't talk in school and don't post pictures together. She wouldn't know right?" Fran suggests.

"Are you crazy? And what would I tell Felix? Why am I not talking to him in school? Brynn threatened me? With what? What could she possibly be holding over me? My chemistry homework?" I whisper yell.

"Okay calm down missy" Fran says.

"Ugh sorry" I say.

"Felicity! Darling how are you?" Abizza exclaims as she keeps our burgers and milkshakes on our table. I get up and hug her.

"Hey Abizza. You've met my brother Francis" I introduce her to him again incase she forgot.

"Yes yes of course. Hello Francis dear" Abizza says and gives him a smile.

"Hi Abizza" he says smiling back.

"Here are your burgers and milkshakes. Jessica told me it was you. Felix isn't here today? And why aren't you in school? Are you alright?" she asks me.

"Don't worry I'm okay. Fran wasn't feeling well so we took off but then he said he wants a milkshake and I knew I had to bring him to the place that has the best milkshakes in town" I tell and smile at her.

"Oh dear. You give me too much credit. Anyways I need to get back to work. Although I'm still upset you didn't accept my job offer" she says.

"I'm so sorry Abizza. But Summer told me that she did come here?" I tell her.

"She did. And she's really nice but it turns out that I do need more staff now " she says and laughs.

"Are you just saying that to get me to come here Abizza?" I ask her jokingly.

"Alright. You caught me" she laughs and then says "anyways. No pressure. Tell Felix and Samuel to come here. Bye" she hugs me one more time and leaves. I sit down and see that Fran has already finished half of his burger.

"Told ya it's good" I say.

***

I have no idea what I'm gonna do. Fran wasn't any help either. My brother is good at listening and supporting. Not at advice. Although there is one person who I can talk to. Summer.
