DURING THEIR SHIFT, Raina was currently restocking the candies while Miranda, Emily, Mickey, and Naya were cleaning each auditorium. Joshua sipped his drink, leaning against the popcorn stand. Raina stood up straight, crossing her arms.

"Joshie." Raina called out to her boyfriend, raising a brow.

Joshua looked up from his phone, humming in response. Raina gave him the pouty face, gesturing to the candy she was restocking. Joshua groaned, placing down his soda. Raina giggled as she watched her boyfriend come around to help her.

Joshua placed his hands on her hips, leaning down to peck her lips "You're gonna be the death of me, Raina Chen."

Raina hummed, rubbing her nose against his "I love you too much to let you die."

Joshua chuckled, planting a kiss to her forehead. Raina closed her eyes, blushing at the feeling.

"Raina! Josh!" Miranda exclaimed, running over to the couple.

Raina and Joshua turned in the direction their friends were coming from. What was going on? Naya, Mickey, Miranda, and Emily panted, holding onto themselves.

Joshua wrapped his arm around Raina's shoulder, holding his other hand out "Whoa, whoa! What? What happened?"

Mickey was the first to speak, holding out his phone "Peter and Colin are dead."

Raina and Joshua shared looks. Dead? That's impossible, they were just with them.

"Bullshit." Joshua replied, shaking his head.

Mickey handed his phone to Raina, holding onto Miranda. Miranda kissed Mickey's cheek, nuzzling him. Raina scrolled through the article, blinking in shock.

"18 year old Colin James and Peter Rogers found dead on the subway last night. Authorities suggest foul play was involved..." Raina read out loud, looking around to everyone.

Mickey rubbed the back of his neck, sighing deeply "We're really sorry, Rai.."

Joshua kissed Raina's head, rubbing her arm "Look, we stick together, no matter what. We tell the authorities what we know and hopefully it stops the killings. We lost my sister, Peter, and Colin. Nobody fucking cares about Ethan Turner, he hurt Raina. He's a piece of shit, other than that. We stay together always. Agreed?"

"Agreed." Everyone nodded.

RAINA SNUGGLED JOSHUA As she was asleep. Joshua rubbed her back, kissing her head. It was morning the next day. Classes were cancelled, which worried Raina. Anyone could be killed in that time frame. After a minute, Raina slowly woke up from her slumber.

Joshua looked down at her, smiling sadly "Hey, beautiful."

Raina rubbed his chest, planting a kiss to his cheek "Can we just stay in bed all day?"

Joshua kissed her forehead, nodding. Raina closed her eyes, enjoying the time she was spending with her boyfriend. After a while, both Raina and Joshua fell back asleep.
