I blinked my eyes open. Why am I next to Ritz?! I wondered before I remembered what had happened yesterday. Ritz opened his eyes too, and for a second seemed confused. Then he blinked and smiled at me.
   "Morning." I say, and kiss his cheek.
   "Is that all I get?" He asked and I kissed him for real. He giggled and turned onto his side.

   The make out session we were having was getting a bit heated when we suddenly heard a loud crash coming from the kitchen. I sit up.
   "What the hell was that?!" I heard Vels yell. "Veneer! You better not have broken anything! I'm coming down there!"
   "You better not!" I heard someone yell. Then I heard a gunshot.
   "What the- I'm coming down!" Velvet clarified.
   "No! Velvet don't!" I scream.
   "Listen to your brother!" The guy yelled. I could hear drawers opening and cabinets being slammed. "UGH! Where's the valuable stuff!"
   I reached for my phone and started dialing 911.
   "911, what's your emergency?"
   "Some guy broke to my house!" I whispered into the phone.
   "Okay, what's your address?"
   "902674." I say.
   "You're Veneer?!"
   "Duh!" I whisper-yell.
   "Oh my goodness! I'm on the phone with the Veneer! This is the best day of my life!"
   "Lady! Do your job!" I hissed.
   "Oh, right."

   After about ten minutes of me and Ritz hiding in my room, I could hear the police sirens.
   "Shit!" The guy yelled. I heard another smash and then nothing.
   I got up. "Should we go look?" I asked Ritz.
   "I mean, it seems like he's gone." He said, standing up.
   We creep down the stairs and into the kitchen. "Oh my God." Ritz said. I looked and saw two broken windows, a shit ton of glass from the broken windows scattered all over the floor, a dent in the ceiling where the bullet must have hit, and the actual bullet.
   There was a scream coming from behind me. I jumped around. I did the stupid thing I do when I'm scared. My right knee goes up, and my hands stiffen up and go in front of my face.
   Velvet was right behind me. Her face tear-stricken and horrified. "WHAT THE F***!?" She screeched and looked at me.
   There was pounding on the door. "Open up!"
   I pulled the door open and the guy aimed a gun at Ritz. "Is that him?" His finger rested on the trigger.
   Ritz's hands went up. "It's not me dude!"
   The officer looked at me, as if silently telling me to confirm.
   "He's innocent." I say.
   "What's doing here then?" The cop asked. There were two more behind him now.
   "What he's doing here is not the problem! The problem is that someone just broke into my f***ing house!" I yelled.
   "Well, where is he?" He asked.
   "Oh, ha! Not here clearly!" These guys are idiots!
   They started looking around for evidence of whoever broke in, and then I heard someone talk.
   "I-is it safe to be down here?" Orchid asked.
   The officer pointed his gun at her. Orchid squeaked and jumped behind Velvet.
   "Lower your gun dummy!" Velvet hissed.
   "Who is she?" The cop asked.
   "My friend! Lower. Your. Damn. Gun!"
   The cop made the good choice and listened to Vels.
   He kept searching around for evidence. Then he found the bullet. "Did anyone get shot?" He asked.
   "Do you see any dead bodies? Blood?" I motioned around.
   "Um, no. I don't." The cop said dumbly.
   "Okay, so do you think anyone got shot?" I ask.
   "Uhh, no."
   "Okay, that answer your question?"
   He nods.
   "Good." I was pissed.
   I marched up to my room, ran my hands through my hair and laid face-down on my bed. I felt a hand on my back and looked up to see Ritz laying on his stomach next to me.
   "You okay?" He asked. There was something about the way that he asked that made me know much he cared.
   I shake my head. "No. I feel like shit. I'm pissed because the cops don't know how to do their job, and I just got robbed!" Tears were running down my face. Ritz sat up and pulled me up for a hug.
   "At least we're all alive. And you still got me, Velvet, and Orchid I guess." He said as he played around with my hair.
   "Thanks Ritz." I say.
   "Aw. God, there so cute." I heard Vels voice from behind the door.
   "So true, I'm playing this at their wedding!" Orchid said.
   "Good!"
   "Velvet!" I hiss.
   "Orchid!" Ritz hissed at the same time.
   They both giggled. "Aw, and look, they both let their lip jut jout when their angy!" Velvet giggled some more.
   "So do you!" I whined.
   They just kept giggling and I heard them walking back down the hall.
   "You're cute when you're mad." Ritz suddenly says.
   My face turned bright red. "What- n-no I'm not!"
   "Yes you are! Your face scrunches up in the most adorable way when you're mad!" He giggled.
   "I-" I don't finish my sentence because he kisses me. "Ritz!" I say when he moves his head away.
   "What?!" He asks.
   "Really?!" My face was still red. "I'm not complaining or anything but seriously?!"
   He laughed. And I couldn't help but laugh too. We hugged and sat there like that for a while. I could honestly get used to this.

Again, sorry the chapter is so short! But I do plan to make the next one longer! 😊❤️
