here's part 2!
--
the hardwood floors creaked underneath your feet as you carefully made your way downstairs. it was midnight, and warren insisted on coming over despite the fact your parents were home. you knew it was a dumb fucking idea to let him in, especially since he had been ghosting you lately. but the risk was enticing, and despite everything, you missed him like crazy.
as you approached the glass sliding door leading out to your yard, you noticed a figure moving in the dark over the fence. your eyes were still adjusting to the night, but you could clearly see warren's foot get caught on the wood before he tumbled into the bushes below.
"idiot" you teased, smiling wide as he ascended the porch steps, brushing himself off.
"hey- it's not as easy as it looks okay? give me a break..." warren playfully whined. he brought you into a gentle embrace for a few moments, and you revelled in the feeling of being in his arms once again.
"there's an entrance through the fence, i could've just let you in you know.." you said softly.
"and you're telling me this now instead of when i called?"
"i thought it would be funny to try and watch you get in." you grinned.
"you bitch" he laughed, rubbing your sides. "and what if i got seriously fuckin' hurt or something?"
you shrugged, locking eyes with him. "i guess we'll never know..."
warren smiled and leaned in, briefly pressing his lips to yours. you loved it. how could you not be obsessed with him?
"i missed you... i was worried about you..." you breathed. it drove you crazy when he stopped showing up on campus, missing his practices and games, not returning your calls. you feared he did something stupid and got himself in serious trouble. "you're a dick"
his expression turned remorseful. "i know.. i'm sorry babe.. i should've called.."
"oh shit- is that an apology i hear? from warren lipka? i'm honored" you joked. in all honesty you were surprised. no lame excuses? no arguing? this was kind of weirdly disappointing--you had prepared for a bigger confrontation.
"what can i say? i'm a changed man"
you knew he was joking but part of you wondered if there was any truth to the statement. maybe, in some miraculous way, he actually worked on himself?
pushing the thought away, you took warren's hand in yours and quietly led him up the stairs. you made it halfway down the hall before you heard the door to your parents bedroom open. in a panic, you pushed warren into your room, following behind him. if your dad knew he was here...
you'd rather not think about what would happen.
"ow-? you're stronger than you look-" warren chuckled. he always loved sneaking around with you. you figured it fed his compulsion for excitement, so you didn't have problem with it if it meant he wasn't out doing crazier shit.
you pressed your ear to the door, listening for footsteps, but you no longer heard them. once you felt it was safe, you let out a sigh of relief and turned around.
"fuck that was scary.." you laughed breathlessly, taking off your top and practically jumping onto warren.
--
you woke up in the middle of the night, feeling thirsty, and went to get a drink of water. warren was gone, which made you a bit upset, but you understood the need to avoid getting caught, especially after he had cussed your dad out the last time they spoke.
while in the kitchen, you heard a thud coming from your father's study. at first, you chalked it up to your imagination due to your tiredness. but then it happened again.
was your father awake?
curious, you decided to check the sound out, the sound of faint whispering getting louder as you neared the door. your foot caused creak in the floor, and the whispering stopped abruptly.
a couple seconds passed and, to your surprise, warren emerged from the room, with an odd expression on his face.
"hey, y/n.."
"warren?- you scared the shit out of me!" you whispered sharply, hitting his arm. "what the hell are you doing?!"
"well uh- i was looking for a bathroom-“
"downstairs?"
"i was on my way out; i wasn't gonna come back upstairs-" he avoided making eye contact and suddenly you remembered who you were dealing with. the liar, the cheater. you reached for the door but warren quickly covered your mouth and pinned you to the wall. in the scuffle, your head hit the corner of doorframe hard and you let out a strangled groan.
"fuck! fuck...! i'm so sorry," warren apologized, dragging you into the study. inside, two others dressed in black with ski masks stood, looking between you and warren. they all began to argue frantically, with warren being the loudest.
"shut the fuck up- shut the fuck up! i'll fucking handle this just go!"
you tried to focus on what was happening, but your eyelids grew heavy, and you felt your body losing control. the last thing you noticed was the centerpiece of the study, the valuable monet painting, had been removed from the wall.

a really close friend of my family passed away the other day. close to where i would send school pics of my kids, at their request. they consider my kids on the same level as their great-grand kids. i'd lost touch with them, personally, but my mom kept me up-to-date with how they were.
like i legit cried when mom told me he'd passed. and i feel really bad that i won't be able to go to the viewing/funeral. i've asked my mom to give the wife my love/condolences; i feel like i should send a card (with most recent kids pics). otoh i feel like it won't be enough to show how much i respected him and love them both.
i'm probably overthinking the whole thing. and will send a card (she's of the generation that would expect/appreciate it). but it's going to weigh on my heart for a while.
