Hidden

Same Mistakes

Alice POV:
"I'm here looking for Fp" I reply explaining myself so I could get answers.
"Oh I'm guessing your two sorted it out then" he replies smugly with an 'I told you so' look.
"Not the time. What kind. of problems are the serpents having?" I ask cautiously.
"You remember that night of chaos, all the riots?" He asks and I nod because I do, that's the night Hal admited to being the blackHood how could I forget.
"Penny, the ghoulies basically destroyed all their trailers so they are staying here. And Fp well I think he should tell you what he's doing himself" he continues.
"Take me to him" I order pushing past him to get to the closet door but he pulls me back.
"They can't see you out there, I'm not sure what they all think about you. In all fairness you did attack us in your paper for years" he stops me holding my arm.
"I know but I don't care what they think about me or do to me, I need to see Fp" I lie because these guys were the family I never had.
"He would kill me if I took you to him" he tries to reason with me.
"Take me to him or I swear to god I will make the biggest scene out there, don't test me on this" I warn him and he sighs nodding his head and putting his serpent jacket over me.
"Why?" I ask about the jacket.
"You were shivering when you came in and if I don't take care of you Fp will kill me, which is why I shouldn't take you to where he is but I guess I have no choice" he explains and I let a smug smile fall on my face because I got my way.
He rushes me quickly out the Wrym not gaining any attention luckily.
"Hop on" he says pointing to his motor cycle so I do.
"Your not going to like this" he lets me know as I hold onto his shoulders to keep me steady.
"I know" I reply willing him to just continue.
We drive for a bit until we reach a run down warehouse looking building. I see Fps truck outside and when the motorcycle come to a complete stop I get off but am stopped from going any further.
"Wait" hogeye orders in a serious tone. One I don't hear from him often because he much like many other serpents who still like me never really deny me. I like to think they are scared of me but I think they just still think of me as their ali still.
He hold my arm just to make sure and I have to watch as Fp loads a box containing god knows what onto his truck followed by Penny who handed him a note.
I try and pull out of Hogeyes grip but he knows me too well and holds tighter.
"Get off me or I'll scream" I warn trying once again to pull away and be grips even tighter to keep me still, this is definitely going to leave a bruise.
"Alice you don't understand what you going out there will do" he says once again extremely serious not going unnoticed by me.
"We will drive after him when Penny goes back inside" he promises and I sigh agreeing with him.
We wait a few minutes until he starts the truck and she returns inside and begin following him once again.
A few miles down the road he notices us and stops dead in his tracks getting out the truck.
"Please don't tell me that's who I think it is" he says sternly walking up to us as hogeye gets off the bike to explain.
"Look fp-" he starts but Fp shoves him back a bit.
"Do you have any idea how cold it is tonight? And you took her out, and don't even get me started on how dangerous it is for her to be out here. Did Penny see you?" He asks angrily going to shove hogeye again but his voice softens when I beg him to stop.
"Please stop" I beg getting off the bike.
"Why doesn't she have a helmet on? You couldn't have given her a helmet and a serpent jacket, how's that supposed to keep her warm?" He asks angrily rambling on.
"Stop interrogating him and answer my questions" I order gaining his attention.
"Yeah I'm sorry Alice" he corrects himself fully something his voice and draining all anger from face.
"What the hell are you doing? What is in that? And is this what you have been sneaking out to do all these times? Answer them in that order and in full detail" I order and he sighs.
"Look the serpents are in shit and they are going to get hurt if I don't do these delivery's for Penny. I don't like to think about what's in that but I'm guessing it's not good for the homeless and yes whenever I have left you in the mornings, this is what I'm doing" he confesses guiltily.
"And your black eye, wasn't a bar fight was it. I knew you were lying" I almost shout.
"I don't like lying to you Alice, I have to for you own good" he replies truthfully but I am so mad at him I don't care how sincere he's being. I can practically feel my face heat up and my knuckles clench.
"How could you? After I said I trusted you your doing drug deals on the side and worst of all you lie to me" I snap angrily and I can tell he's going to get defensive.
"Why do you even care Alice? It's not like you want anything out of this. We aren't even together are we?" He says back raising his voice in the slightest.

Fp POV:
"Because I fucking love you" she shouts looking surprise herself for even saying it.
"Remember in high school, we could have been great. I was supposed to spend my life with you but you started doing all this shady stuff and just stopped telling me things, started lying to me more and more to the point I didn't even know you anymore. One thing I do know, my Fp the one I love would always tell me the truth. We are in this together" she pours her heart out to me and I can't even think of a reply because I'm still speechless she said she loves me.
"Alice" I try but she's already walking away crying now.
"I love you too" I shout after her before turning to hogeye.
"Go get her and take her to her house safely" I order and he nods hopping on the bike and driving after her. I feel my eyes well up but I have to pull myself together and finish the delivery before Penny hurts anyone else.

Alice POV:
I'm storming off again. I'm good at this. Although it would be a lie to say I don't regret this decision because it cold, dark and I don't get my way home. I'm just crying my eyes out walking down the road in the pitch black.
I hear hogeye behind me and he stops in front of me the lights of the bike blinding me a little.
"Take me home" I beg and it comes out feeble and broken.
He nods giving me a sympathetic look and opens his arms for a hug and I fall into him crying into his shoulder.
