*Jacqueline's POV*
I did leave Morgue's apartment after that, but only because Creature was getting anxious and insisted that I leave for Morgue's sake. I went back to My place that was only a few blocks away with Creature trailing behind me because, whether he wanted to admit it or not, he was slightly drunk and i could see him stumbling behind me. I didn't trust him going home alone because i'm afraid that i'd find him passed out in a bush or something. It felt odd going back to my apartment because i spend most of my time at the freak show or at other people's houses rather than my house but if i couldn't be persistent with Morgue then i'd rather sulk at home in my own bed while scrolling through Tumblr.
The first thing i did when i stepped foot into my apartment was run into my room and wipe off all of my makeup and took out my contacts because there was no better relief than being comfortable without all this stuff on my face. But looking at my face was like torture. What if Morgue really didn't like me? What if he just felt bad for me and that's the only reason he talked to me at all? I looked down at the scar on my hand and couldn't help but think back to what he said in the hospital. I know he was just reading the book to me but the way he said "and i am i love with you" suggested otherwise.
"Hey, J, do you have any coffee?" Creature came sauntering into my room casually then just stared at my clear-of-makeup face. "Woah you look different... like good different..."
"You don't need coffee, what your drunk ass needs is water and a nap." I couldn't help but kind of snap at creature because i wasn't in the best mood, though i know he means the best.
"Woah there sassy," He chuckled and staggered his way over to my bed before dropping onto it and smiling like a drunken moron. "I know you're mad about Morgue and totally like in love with him but you don't have to take it out on me or even pretend to like that Alex guy."
"I'm not in love with Morgue!" I said stubbornly before looking completely away from Creature who was too entranced by my fuzzy red blanket that he was laying on. "And i happen to actually like Alex." That wasn't a complete lie. Alex did seem like a really nice guy and i have no idea why Morgue hates his gut but that seems like a long time vendetta that would never go away. I really don't know if i wanted to get involved in all of this anyways. Creature only replied with a sleepy 'mhm'.
I must have fallen asleep shortly after that because the next thing i knew, i had woken up to a ray of sunlight streaming in my eye and Creature shaking me awake. "Let's go get ready we have a show today." He pushed himself off the bed and urged me to hurry up because we were going to be late, not that Todd would really mind.
After putting on all of my makeup and getting dressed into whatever outfit i could find the fastest, and then we were off to the freak show.
"Let's go, guys, the show starts in five." Todd smiled widely as i got my equipment ready. I was extremely nervous to say the least because this was my first live show and i didn't want to mess up and get burnt... again. "Every one's here? okay, great!"
I caught a glimpse of Morgue who was feverishly stuffing a bag with all of his stuff like his steel ball and meat hooks, and things of that nature. He looked definitely upset but his face was blank of emotion. Once he finished i saw him with Asia who wasn't smiling at all, which is unusual because she is one of the happiest people i know. What was going on? Then within a few seconds they were hugging and Morgue was heading for the door.
"Where's he going?" I tried to keep my voice from sounding worried or shaking.
"He's leaving Venice Beach, he said so last night when he called Todd saying that he couldn't work here any more for personal reasons and that he was working at another freak show in Florida." Jessa shrugged.
No, this can't be happening. I've driven Morgue away because of that one stupid kiss. He was the one who brought me here in the first place, he couldn't just leave, could he?
"Morgue!" I rushed past the crowd of people that started to encircle the stage because the show was going to start any minute now. "Morgue, stop, please!" I foraged the streets to find the tall blonde man with an umbrella. Luckily he wasn't too far away, but unluckily he didn't stop walking. It was difficult running in these black heels i insisted upon wearing this morning, but i managed to only trip a couple of times over the uneven boards of the board walk. I finally caught up to him as i frantically tried to catch my breath and slow my heart beat. "Morgue, where are you going?"

"Away from here.." His voice was flat and he still wouldn't stop walking. "But you should go back, you're going to miss the show." I sensed a hint of humor tainting his words.
"Please, you can't leave! We all need you, i need you." I know i sounded desperate but if that's what got through to him then so be it, i was desperate. I grabbed his hand just like he had done to me in the club and pulled him closer to me before pressing my lips to his. This time i was the one to kiss him. At first he only stood there in what i could assume was shock and then he was pushing me (not roughly) into an alleyway that stood between two buildings and kissing me back. My back was against the wall and his hands entangled in my hair. "Stay." I said in between kisses. A look of reluctance smeared his face and he stepped away.
"This. This is why i can't. I have to leave I'm sorry." And with that, he was walking away again.
All of my stories always have a love interest in it i'm sorry lol i guess i'm just a hopeless romantic and this is how i get it out. So i hope none of you guys are offended by any of this because i know there are some like serious hardcore fans out there that don't like this stuff but i'm sorry whoops just saying
