You Get No Love

Kelsey nodded, “come on.” she grabbed the boy’s hand. “i don’t know, we could try the door first”

 although it was not the time to be laughing so genuinely, raphael found it endearing that she had liked his cake so much. “wow! i’m glad you liked it, kels. i’m sure they won’t make you put the cake back, that’ll be the least of their worries. how did you fit all that inside and when?”

kelsey sighed when the boy dropped to his knees. “come on, landon. get up. we have to get out of here. if there really is a killer out there we can’t be trapped in the bathroom.”

 “I mean, I get it. Just be safe, okay?”

“no one is dead, landon.. calm down. you are just freaking out.”

“died?” the girl giggled. “don’t be so ridiculous. it is just some kid playing a dumb trick.. it isn’t really funny.” she admitted “but it is close to halloween, they want to make it look all fucked up and  you are worrying too much.”

“Why would i be the killer? the only thing killing in here is my bladder begging for me to relieve it. i nearly peed myself when i heard you.”

 “oh, i must have been seeing things.” he said through his gritted teeth. caleb stood by the sinks, looking at his reflection blankly. like everyone at the ball, he wished he was at his apartment, eating take out and watching his favorite soap but life didn’t work out that way so instead, he was in a bathroom taking care of an inebriated girl. not all heroes wore capes. “for the love of mary, joseph and jesus…” he sighed, looking around for toilet paper. what stall didn’t have toilet paper? did this town not have enough funds for that? he yanked one from an empty stall and then slid it to her. “there you go, tinklebell.”

  “Of course I am!”

  the blonde shook her head slowly. “you’re already wasted, kels takin’ another drink will make you sick…but i mean, if that’s what you wanna do.” she gestured for the bartender to make them another drink.
