(It's still Miranda's birthday)
Narrative p.o.v.
Miranda sat in the middle of her room with her gifts spread around her. So far she was able to put all of the clothes up she just needed a place to put the rest of her things. Even though she should be asleep, because she was going to work with her mom Miranda decided to stay up a little longer. It wasn't like her mom would care; she was downstairs with fin doing who knows what. Miranda stood up separating the rest of her gifts into different piles. She was currently putting some shoes in her closet when she heard something.
"Tap... Tap" the noise seemed like it was coming from the window. Miranda slowly opened the window as to be ready for anything. "Miranda" the young girl looked out of her window for the search of the noise. It wasn't until she looked in the tree near her room did she notice someone in it. "Ohm can I help you?" the leaves rustled seeing as the person was trying to get through. It wasn't until the figure fully emerged that Miranda saw it was her friend Chloe.
"Chloe? Where the hell have you been?" Chloe went out as far as she could on the branch and jumped into Miranda's room. "Hey Miranda happy birthday." Miranda stared at her friend in front of her. Even though she disappeared a few months ago she looked good for someone who lived in the streets. "Chloe where have you been everyone has been looking for you." Chloe sat down on the bed in the room and started to tell her story.
"I left because I didn't want to go through what happened again when we were taken, so I just left. I've been doing fine; I eat right and don't have any diseases. Remember how I told you I had so money stored up back when I got that baby-sitting job?" the younger nodded looking at her friend so she could finish her story. "Well I used that money to get an apartment it really nice." Chloe lay back on Miranda's bed looking at the ceiling. "You know Chloe your going to have to confront your fears and tell your parents you're her."
Chloe sighed as she sat up again looking at her friend. "I know but I'll tell her tomorrow just let me think things through. I'm going to go back to my place. See ya later." With that Chloe left Miranda's room leaving her to get some much needed rest.
Setting: park
Time: 12:00 a.m.
Miranda's p.o.v.
Since no one had a case to go to and Chloe had gone to her parents everyone decided to go to the park. I was ahead of everybody on my skateboard listening to music with Chloe who was doing the same thing just in roller skates. So far all Olivia has done is cry about her baby being back and some other shit. Today was a pretty quiet day in the park. Only a few people here and there along with few kids. So far at home my mom has already had half f the wedding planned and I get to be the flower girl.
I stopped by a vender who was selling popcorn and got some for me and Chloe. "Yo Miranda I just saw amiel and Derek over by the lake come one." I was then pulled by Chloe on my skateboard to the lake. We didn't get far from our parents when Olivia stopped us. "Hey where are you two going?"We both turned around to face the adults. I was ready to tell them we were going to hang out with our friends but Chloe had different ideas. "Mom we are going to feed the ducks in the lake." Olivia smiled at us before we left them.
Once we reached the lake, for sure there was amiel and Derek by the lake with skateboards. "Hey you guys." We went down to the guys who were standing near a bench. Amiel put his arm around me while Derek put his around Chloe. "So what do you guys want to do?" Derek asked while sitting in the graze. After a few minutes all of us had decided to just sit underneath the big oak tree we were near.
Narrative p.o.v.
The day was very quiet. The young couples laid there looking at the sky not saying a word. Everything was fine well until the girl's parents came up the bridge and saw them. Now you see from where the parents were standing the girls couldn't see them but they could see their daughters.
"I never knew she had a boyfriend." Fin stated looking at Melinda for any sign of recognition. "Uh hive should have known when he gave her that outfit saying they would match."Melinda leaned against the rail of the bridge. "I always kind of knew that Chloe and Derek had something going own." Olivia snuggled closer to her husband.
After seeing their daughter under the tree they decided to visit them. The kids didn't notice the adults come up to them until they spoke. "Hey you guys." The girls looked up to see their parents standing over them. "Ohm what are you guys doing here?" Chloe said while sitting up and taking Derek's arm off her shoulder. "Ohm nothing just checking on you guys." Elliot sat in-between Derek and Chloe. 'This is some bullshit' Miranda thought as her mom and fin sat next to her." Why don't you introduce us two your friends."
Chloe sat there blushing away having no idea what tell her parents. "Mom, ohm dad this is amiel my boyfriend." Amiel waved shyly at the two adults next to him. Fin didn't want to stay anything until Melinda's did, but it looked like she was short for words. Especially when Miranda pulled amiel closer to her and wrapped his arm around her.
