There Can Be Only One

He sighed."At least you're not hurt. I was starting to get worried, you'd been out for hours. Where's you go, anyway?"

"To my parents house. Good news, they aren't angry at me anymore!" She squealed happily, bouncing in place. Markus, however, did not reciprocate this energy."What's wrong?"

"How could you still want a relationship with them after what they said to you?"

"I mean, it's not like they told me to go kill myself or something. They were just worried about me, that's all." She shrugged with a laid back attitude.

"I don't want you seeing them." He said plainly. This took (Y/N) aback. Did she hear that right? Did he misspeak?

"I'm sorry, what?"

"You heard me. I don't want you seeing them."

"You mean my parents? Are you hearing yourself-"

"You heard what I said!"

At this point, she was trembling. His attitude changed so fash, she nearly got whiplash. She'd never heard him yell at her before. Not like this. His demeanor suddenly changed from strict, to straight up scary. He scowled at her as if she'd just sworn in church.

"Go change into something decent. That outfit is hideous." He changed the subject before walking away from her, exiting the room.

She looked down at her clothes, not to examine then, but just to move her eyes from the space she was looking at before.

What just happened? Why is he so angry?

To avoid making him any angrier, she silently, still confused, went upstairs and changed into a random outfit that he bought for her. She figured seeing her in something he personally likes would make him less angry. She put her phone on the charger and sat on the bed.

She just sat.

She was still thinking about why he yelled at her. But she just couldn't find an answer. It made her sad, bringing back the depressing mood she was in earlier.

Pico was finishing up dinner while the kids watched a child friendly Halloween movie in the living room. As he was preparing their plates, he found himself moving slowly, due to be distracted by this thoughts.

He really enjoyed talking to (Y/N). Despite how nervous he was in the beginning, he finds it easy once they get into the groove of their conversation. He wasn't sure if he believed in destiny or fate, but he hoped that being with her someday was in the cards for him. He only met Markus once and immediately knew he was an asshole.

Even when he listened to Jenna talk about her, he knew (Y/N) was gonna be a cool chick to hang with.

He just wished Markus wasn't in the way.

Pico shook the thoughts from his head and called the kids to come and eat dinner at the table.

"Thank you, Pico!" They say in unison before chowing down on his delicious cooking. He smiled before going to the living room and taking out his phone.

He checked his notifications first, seeing a message from Keith.

Keith: You, me, park, tomorrow, 8AM.

Pico responded.

Me: For why?

Keith: Cause I said so.

Me: No, people got shit to do in the morning.

Keith: Like what? 🤨 No job having ass bitch.
