♫ spooky black - pull ♫

2 months later

When Anna and the Lopez family left, it felt as if sadness and bad luck spread throughout Miami. River didn't even bother to say a last goodbye to her in the morning, Anna didn't care, as long as she saw Piper one last time she'd be alright.

Piper was an emotional wreck, her best friend waa gone, not even Keanu or Rosalia could fill the hole Anna left, Corey did though. Corey filled that hole, he was Anna's brother after all. Looking at Corey was like looking at Anna. They had the same features, dark hair and light eyes.

Piper found comfort in Corey. Corey and Anna had the same scent, so she'd hug him often. Which filled Corey's love and heart for her even more, he planned on telling Piper he liked her.

Keanu and Piper were somehow still together though, but it made no sense. Rosalia and Keanu were extremely close. Keanu explained the situation to Piper and Corey, and how Rosie got drugged. After that, he'd been extremely protective of her.

The gang really hadn't heard of River after Anna's departure. It had been specualted that he's now dating Martha, but it hadn't been confirmed.

To rid of the sadness, Lisa and Leonardo were always there! They planned parties, organized festivals, and were just a lively couple.

Since the gang never heard of River ever since, Rain had always been of helpful service. She gave updates on their family, and even Heart called the Lopez family to give a long formal apology to Anna.

The gang contacted Anna everyday, she seemed to be happy. She was popular at her new school, and apparently the smallest, she had been only 5ft tall so it made sense. Anna's voice made Piper and Rosie smile, Keanu's heart flutter, and Corey's day better. He really missed his little sister, fights and all.

Lisa decided to hold a picnic for the gang, including Rain, Joaquin, and Deesha. Each person was responsible for food. Deesha and Joaquin seemed to be getting alone a little TOO much. They annoyed poor little Keanu too much on the ride to the park. Even Leonardo remarked them as "Bonnie and Clyde".

As the gang set up the picnic blanket and the food. Rosalia was the first one to fall and sprawl out on the blanket in absolute serenity. "You know that book Douleur, you recommended to me Keanu was actually really good" Rosalia said to Keanu making him blush. "I'm glad you liked it as much as I did" Keanu said gaining the attention of Piper. "Keanu reading books? Yeah no, he doesn't have the patience for that. Plus how did you find out he read that book anyway" Piper said, as she eat another piece of the watermelon Rain provided. "The library" Rosie innocently said making Corey and Piper burst into giggles and Keanu looking offended.

"What?" Keanu said, clearly pissed off. "Well, Keanu you don't pay attention to literature, I mean come on I know you more than little miss Italy over here" Piper said mockingly, making Rosalia tense up. "Piper-" Corey said. "No Corey shush, you two have been hanging out without us? Now she knows something I don't!" Piper says. "Piper it's not that serious" Rosalia said. "Of course you'd say that! Literally ever since you came into this group, you can get any and everything you want!" Piper said. "Is that how you feel? You're pressed" Rosalia said crossing her arms. "Piper, what's your problem?" Keanu said. "Keanu, I've known you ever since elementary school and here you are giving your heart to some foreign slut!" Piper yelled, making Rosalia cry. "Is that how you really felt about me?" Rosalia said. "Piper regardless on how I feel about her that gives you no right to hurt her feelings, for fucks sake she's still new, treat her better!" Keanu yelled at her. "Treat her better? Treat me better!" Piper fired back making Lisa try and calm her down. "Piper calm down, this is our relax time, no need for this" Lisa said trying to calm her down. "Don't touch me! Piss off!" Piper said pushing Lisa which really angered her. "You know what bitch? Fuck you!, ever since Anna left you've beeb disrespectful to everyone. I'm not suprised Keanu was in love with Rosalia this whole time, you know why? You have a shitty attitude that no one likes, you saw me trying to comfort you? Look what you did? Remind me never to invite you places and go out my way, you're just as trash as River, good fucking bye. Leonardo, Corey? We are gone. Rain, Joaquin, I advise you to leave here too!" Lisa yelled, and to make matters at the end, she threw her drink at Piper making the girl scream.

and they left. Just leaving Rosalia, Keanu, Deesha, Piper, and even Corey ignored Lisa's remarks and stayed with them. Piper was still angry but calmed down, she looked over to Keanu who seemed to be comforting Rosalia. "Rosie-" Piper said but Rosalia flinched. "Please, don't talk to me, ever again" Rosalia said. "We're leaving, find your own way home" Keanu said to Piper, and putting his jacket on Rosalia's shoulders.

Corey instantly hugged Piper when Keanu and Rosie left, which confused her. "Come on, lets walk home" Corey suggested, grabbing her hand and Deesha following. "You hate me" Piper said making Corey shake his head. "I could never, sure Rosie didn't deserve that but you were frustrated, and how did you know Rosie and Keanu were together in a way?" Corey asked her. "I knew Keanu liked books, but he was too embarrassed to tell us, in 8th grade I went snooping in his diary anf he wrote about going to the library everyday, he had the book Rosalia was talking about always in his bookbag, I knew since Keanu was never embarrassed to tell Rosie, I knew he loved her, plus I could tell by the way they looked at each other." Piper explained sadly. "You plan on apologizing to her?" Corey asked, with Piper responding with a head nod.

Once they reached Piper's apartment, Deesha said her goodbye to Corey and ran into the house immediately. Piper let out a deep sigh and looked at Corey with a smile. "Corey thank you, for walking me home and putting up with my mess." Piper said. "You do crazy things for people you're crazy about" Corey confessed making Piper stare at him. "I know you just got out of your relationship with Keanu and I don't want to rush you into anything but I have gained feelings for you, feelings I cannot control, it was always Rosie but know its you, not meant to be a burden but, I do like you Piper, I reall-" Corey started rambling on before Piper cut him off with a soft kiss, and after she hugged him tightly.

"Yes it is too soon, but thank you Corey" Piper said, snuggling into his warmth. "Anything for you"

"Are you okay?" Keanu asked Rosalia as she continued to cry on her blue bed. "I'm trying to be but you know I really consider her as a friend, but maybe I am the slut because I did start messing with you while you guys were dating" Rosie said, wiping her tears. "She was just lost and frustrated, you're not a slut, you're perfect, and your parents raised such a beautiful and modest girl that I feel in love with" Keanu said, stroking her cheek."I love you too" She replied, and they kissed.

However, this time was different. This kiss was more passionate and hungry, and clothes were being discarded. "You're so beautiful" Keanu said to Rosie, admiring her nude stature. She blushed and thanked him, and pushed him back on the bed and kissed him deeply. Rosalia and Keanu had sex that night, while Piper and Corey had their first kiss with one another, and River and Anna thought about each other softly at the same time, in two different countries.

A/N: This story is continuing, some of you want a sequel but how the ending is, it's bittersweet, so I don't know! Plus when I finish socks, I'm starting Plague. I already finished the first chapter of Plague, though.

So just keep reading 💐🎠
