A/N: Alrighty, I'm in one of those rare moods again. I really can't believe there are only two chapters to this. I disappoint myself in so many ways. I thank those who have been staying with the story and have not given up hope on it yet. I began this chapter a little bit weird, only because I'm too lazy to actually have a beginning to it, so I'm kind of starting in the middle. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this.

Misa looked over at me, confused. "What?"

I sighed for the tenth time. "L was the first real friend I had. My dad, before my mom made him leave, would hit her and me, stay out drinking all night and cheat on Mom more times than I could count. L was the first one to see the scar on my shoulder from when my dad tried to stab me because I was protecting Mom. L was the first person I trusted besides Mom and you. He is my first everything and probably always will be."

The whole time I was talking, Misa just sat back in her seat and drummed her fingers on the steering wheel. A kid screamed-laughed from the playground we were parked in from of. The music flowed softly from the radio over us, but it didn't help stifle that thick awkwardness that was hanging between us. It's stupid and cliché, but the minutes seemed to stretch into years as I sat there with my back half against the car window, sitting at an awkward angle, staring at Misa, who was staring at the kids on the playground.

"L Lawliet is a very ignorant, stupid, selfish boy," Misa whispered while still staring out the front window. "He really doesn't realize that you need him, need each other. I hate and pity him." She finished with a look of disgust grazing her face and a quick glance at me.

"I know."

"You probably shouldn't have yelled at Light. Oh, don't give me that look, you know that he's probably sitting in L's room right now either jerking Lawli off or telling L some sob story about how his 'parents never listen to him' or some shit."

My heart jumped to my throat and it felt like my organs were trying to fight their way out from under my skin. The top of my head was hot, but the tips of my feet were freezing and I desperately wished I had grabbed my shoes from L's house before running out.

I nearly peed myself and threw up as my phone vibrated in the cup holder near my foot. I tried to calm my nerves as I shakily reached for my phone and read the text.

[ L Lawliet – B, please come back. Light didn't mean it. He promises to not say things like that again. Please come back..? ]

Anger flared so hot in my body that I nearly threw my phone at Misa, who leaned over to see what L had said. My whole body shook as I covered my eyes with one hand, not even knowing what to feel at that moment.

"You should be fucking relieved that Light didn't give L a blowjob or something like that," Misa said almost rudely while she started her car and forcefully backed out of the parking space. "Do you want me to take you back there or what?"

I managed to calm down slightly and began to text L slowly, making sure I was saying the right thing. "No, I just want to go back to my house and choke on my vomit, tears and ice cream."

[ Beyond Birthday – I'll tolerate Light, for now. I'm not coming back and you should understand that I would kill him if I saw him today. Have a good time with him and I'll talk to you later. And wipe that sad look off your face, you know I love you. ]

I don't even remember coming into my house, let alone making it to my room and under my bed covers. Apparently, Misa went back out to get Ben & Jerry's ice cream and apparently I ate some while crying. It like I couldn't keep my attention on anything for more than a second and my brain just kept thinking about L and Light in L's bedroom alone doing who knows what.

"B, everything will be okay."

My mind finally kicked back to life when Misa said that. I realized that we were sitting on my bed, eating ice cream. Half of my tiny tub was gone and I could feel that most of it was on my face. I tried to wipe it off with my sleeve, but I just didn't have the heart to do it.

"L isn't gonna leave you forever, you know that, right?" I looked up at Misa, who had at some point changed into her pajamas. Misa rolled her eyes. "I asked your mom if I could spend the night and she said it was okay. She seems to be the only person in the entire world that knows we don't belong together."

My gaze was fixated on Misa, like she would be the answer to everything. "How do we know we're not right for each other though? What if we really are and I'm just wasting my time with Lawli?"

Misa put her ice cream tub on my bedside table and grabbed a towel that was lying on my floor, leaning over and gently wiping the sticky mess from my face. "Because, you idiot, we trying that in eighth grade and you starting crying before you even kissed me. Don't psyche yourself out of loving L. I know that L loves you too – don't give me that look, he totally does – he just doesn't know it yet. He just has to make a few mistakes before he realizes that you're person just for him."

Misa smiled at me, throwing the dirty towel back on the ground. I kept looking at her, feeling like I was going to start crying any second. My phone vibrated violently in my pocket, causing me to yelp, cry, jump and laugh a little. I glanced back at Misa, who was obviously trying not to laugh her ass off. I ripped the phone out of my pocket and flipped it open; already knowing it would be a text from L.

[ L Lawliet – SMILE (: ]

A smile immediately formed on my face. L and I didn't fight that often, but whenever one of us was sad, the not-sad one would send a text saying 'smile'. It always made me smile and I'm pretty sure it made L smile too.

"He did that 'smile' text, didn't he?"

"Yeah, and it worked, so don't judge."

I quickly texted L back, the sudden feeling of hope made my arms feel light.

[ Beyond Birthday – You know that always works. (: ]

Misa sighed and snatched the phone out of my hands. I tried to grab for it, but she quickly slipped it into her front pants pocket. Hey, Misa and I may be close, but I'm not going to reach into her front pockets like some pervert. I rolled my eyes and put on my 'pouty face'.

"Stop that, it won't work," Misa said while ungracefully getting off my bed. "You need to take a brake from him or you'll never stop being sad about him and Light. Let's just have a fun night in, okay? We can play all the NES and Kingdom Hearts you want. Does that sound okay?"

I sighed as I slowly repositioned myself on my bed so that I was facing my shitty TV. "Okay, okay, but I'm totally gonna kick your ass at Monopoly."

Misa laughed as she reached over to put the game in the console and turn on the TV. "Whatever you say, B."

A/N: Oh my god, that chapter was a lot shorter than the first two. But it's still an update, so whatever. I feel like this chapter was less overly romantic then the first ones, but you'll have to judge that for yourselves. Anywho, I do hope you all enjoyed this and I hope you'll all stick around for the whole thing.

With so much love, xxignoredxx~
