Chapter 7: The Wrath of Ark

A/N: Please don't skip the Author's Note at the bottom. Thank you and enjoy!💚

🍪Ellie's P.O.V

I'm currently here in my room, tears streaming down my face as I watched the painful ending of five feet apart.

"I freaking hate this! Why can't they just be together?" I sniffled, pushing my laptop away from my lap in frustration.

I just got back from school earlier, thankful that it was a Friday because it would be embarrassing to attend school with puffy eyes.

Ark and I exchanged movies recommendations since we both wanted to spend the weekends binge-watching romance movies and made a promise not to go search it on google just for fun.

I'm regretting doing that promise.

"You sadistic bitch! You said this wasn't a sad movie!" Ark wailed on the other side, referring to the midnight sun movie that I told her about.

I sniffled,"You said this wasn't a sad movie either!" I replied, bringing my hands up in frustration.

Ark paused before sniffling,"Fine, we both fooled one another. Wanna have dinner with me? Let's eat ice cream too, I need to mend my broken heart," She said, sighing at the end.

"Of course. Can I bring Theodore? He's been wanting to eat ice cream since last week," I asked, closing my laptop and standing up from the bed.

"Yes, Theodore's adorable innocence can be my distraction from this heartbreak." She grumbled, the sound of shuffling can be heard in the background.

"Let's do that both," I giggled, doing a little stretch with my free hand.

"K, I'll pick you up in fifteen boo," She bid a goodbye, ending the call after.

I tossed my phone on the bed, making my way towards the bathroom. I couldn't help but gasp lightly upon seeing my face in the mirror.

I looked like any woman who had just bawled her eyes out to a sad movie but the fact that I could look this even more hideous is beyond me.

I turned on the water, splashing my face with cool water to try and lessen the redness and puff of my eyes. I took my face towel, dabbing it unto my face lightly and tossing it back to the rack before brushing my teeth.

I changed into some leggings, oversized striped sweatshirt, and a new pair of flip flops. I tied my hair into a messy bun and applied chapstick on my lips.

I took my phone and wallet, double checking if I had some cash on before making my way downstairs.

Theodore greeted me at the end of the stairs. He was playing with his dinosaurs and a few legos were scattered around him.

"Hi buddy, wanna go and have dinner with me and Ark? We're going to eat ice cream after," I offered, ruffling his brown hair.

"Weally? I would wove too! Mooom! I need my shoes! Ewwie's bwinging me fow ice cweam!" He beamed, fixing his hair before running off to the kitchen where my mom was.

"Where are you going honey?"Mom asked, emerging with an excited Theodore who ran off to get his shoes.

"Joey's Diner mom, Ark offered dinner. I figured I'd bring Theo along since we're eating ice cream after," I explained, making my way towards her.

"Okay, Have you been crying? You're face is red," Mom commented, looking at me with a concerned look.

"Ark made me watch a sad movie," I reasoned out, letting her fix my messy bun.

Mom sighed,"I'm not even surprise. You cry for the smallest things! You even bawled your eyes out a few years back when you heard that Zayn boy leaving the band," She said, pushing some of my hair back.

"I can't help it, you know I have a weak heart," I pouted, crossing my arms in a defensive manner.

Theodore came back with a pair of shoes on his hand. He was grinning and practically shoved the shoes into mom's hand in excitement.

"That's fine honey, I'd prefer my children to be humane and besides, I'd cried my eyes out too when spice girls disbanded," She shrugged, before crouching down to put Theodore's shoes on.

My phone beeped, a message from Ark saying she was already outside and to haul both Theodore and my ass outside this instant.

"Mom, we're going now. Ark's already outside. Come on buddy," I said, taking a hold of Theodore's hand.

"Wait," He exclaimed, letting go of my hand before taking one of his dinosaurs from the floor and running back to me.

"Owkay, Bye bye mom! Wock the doows!" Theodore exclaimed, his dimples showing as he grinned at my mom.

"I will baby, here's a 50 dollars. Be safe, the three of you and text me when you get there. I love you," She said, before giving us both a peck on the cheek.

"I will mom, I love you too." I said, taking a hold of the crispy 50 dollar bill with a cheeky smile.

"What's taking the order so long? I'm hungry," Ark pouted, glancing at me.

"Me too. There's a world war three going on my stomach right now," I grumbled, my hand holding my empty stomach.

"We gonna eat ice cweam aftew this wight?" Theo asked from between us, his feet swinging back and fort and his little fingers clasped together while patiently waiting for the food.

The three of us were seated in a circular booth with Theodore between us. Joey's Diner was brimming with customers and I'm not surprised considering it's a friday night and they serve good food here at a cheap price.

My olfactory senses are grasping the heavenly scents wafting from various foods that were being brought to the customers.

What's taking so long?

"Of course champ! You just have to finish first your food okay?" Ark cooed, patting Theo's cheeks.

Theo nodded enthusiastically,"I will birdie! What fwavo awe you going to choose?" He asked, striking a conversation with Ark.

I couldn't help but giggle at Theodore's nickname to Ark. Theodore couldn't pronounce Ark's name without sounding it like Hawk.

He resorted to calling Ark birdie instead since 'hawks awe birds so she's a birdie' is what his explanation was.

"Why strawberry, of course! What about you champ?" Ark smiled, caressing his head lovingly.

Ark and I have been best friends since forever and she was there when Theodore was born. It was a funny story actually because the two of us were watching a movie in the living room when mom emerged from the kitchen and that's when her water broke.

Dad heard our yells and came barreling down the stairs and immediately carried mom in the car, much to her protest. Ark and I went to take the baby bag from upstairs and we were excitedly running towards the door when she accidentally slipped unto where my mother's water broke and broke her pinky finger from trying to save her ass from falling straight to the floor.

Long story short, Dad and I had to bring not one but two patients in the hospital. I remember laughing so hard at the same time comforting a hysterical Ark in the back seat.

She ended up having a cast on her pinky finger for a month. Good thing it was her right hand though and not her writing hand which was the left one.

Theodore was about to reply but the waitress arrived with our food. Our attention directly going straight to the food and the conversation went out of the window just like that.

She proceeded to hand us our food before taking out her notepad and checking to see if it was the correct order.

"Two double sized cheesy bacon burger, one spaghetti, one pepperoni pizza, three milkshakes, and one large fries." She called out, crossing each one out.

"Fuck yes! Thank youu," Ark said, giving a polite smile to her.

She gave us a smile back and nodded before walking off.

"Don't curse!" I scolded her, glancing at Theo who was staring at his spaghetti like it was his everything.

Ark shrugged,"He didn't hear it, right champ?" She asked, turning to look at him.

"Right birdie," He replied, his eyes still unto the food.

Ark and I looked at one another before bursted laughing at Theodore. He snapped out of it before turning to look at us with a pout, crossing his chubby arms.

I ruffled his hair,"I won't make you wait any further buddy. Here you go," I said, handing him the fork which he beamed at before starting to eat.

Ark and I didn't waste a second before starting to eat, occasionally taking turns in wiping the sauce out of Theodore's face.

"Remember when we cried our eyes out when Zayn left the band? Mom admitted earlier that she cried when spice girls disbanded too," I mused out, taking a sip of my milkshake.

She giggled,"Your mom is a savage and that's a fact. Le sigh, talking about moms makes me miss mine even more," She said, a sad smile featuring her lips at the mention of her mom.

Ark's parents god divorced when she was six. Marco, her dad, caught her mother cheating with some guy. From what I've heard, she signed all her custody rights to Uncle Marco and left with the man and hasn't been in Ark's life ever since.

He remarried her step mom, Karen, when she was fifteen and has been suffering with the burnt of her childish jealousy and always tries to hog his attention from Ark's.

She's the typical evil step-mom found in cinderella. She's a conniving little bitch and tries to manipulate every thing to get her what she wants.

"Let it go A. She doesn't deserve to be called your mother. Is Karen still being a b-female dog to you? When will she ever grow up?" I scoffed, picking a slice of pizza and biting harshly unto it.

It makes me sad thinking that Ark grew up without her mother but her mother was an asshole too and I guess she's better of without her.

"Why don't you tell your dad about it? He'll choose you over that bit-female dog anyway," I asked, giving her a pointed a look.

"I know but he loves her nevertheless and he deserves his happy ending even if I'm excluded from it. Besides, I'm gonna move out next year and wouldn't see the female dog much." She shrugged, pushing a strand of her ombre hair behind her ear.

I sighed knowing that I have no say in this matter and opted to nodding my head instead.

"I love you, you know that right? That's always gonna be a permanent thing." I stated, giving her a smile.

"I love you boo but I can't believe that we fooled one another into watching those sad movies." She chuckled, shaking her head.

I turned to glance at Theodore who was in his own world as he continued to eat his spaghetti and wiped the corner of his mouth with a table napkin before turning to look back at her.

"We're best friends for a reason A," I thought out loud, giving her an amused look.

"That we are," She agreed, giving me a small wink.

A comfortable silence fell unto our table as we finished off our food. After a few minutes, Ark suddenly widen her eyes before leaning in closer slightly.

"I think my eyes are fuc-dging with me again because there's two hot guys making their way towards us," She gushed, her brown eyes stuck at them.

I lazily sipped on my milkshake, turning around to check them out before choking on it when I saw Drew and Bogey man approaching us.

"Guess what fate has brought into us Drew," David smirked, eyeing the three of us.

"Your future girlfriends?" Ark piped in, a flirty look on her face.

"Stay the he-helicopter away from us!" I hoarsely demanded, glaring at them and giving a sideway glance to check if Theodore is listening.

He wasn't and was instead focused in sipping his milkshake, his feet swinging happily and his other hand playing with his T-Rex while talking quietly to it.

"Don't be like that Flip Flop Girl, We just wanted to say hello!" Drew countered, beaming at us.

"Hold up, you know each other?" Ark asked, glancing back and forth between us.

"They're two out of the three guys that chased me the other night," I answered, glancing at her before turning back to glare at them.

"What? Seriously?" She spluttered out, her brown eyes widening.

"Serious as a dead meat," I said.

Ark stood up and without a second, threw her milkshake at them. Drew gasped at the cold sensation, eyeing his now ruined shirt while I grew dumbfounded.

"What the hell was that for?" David snapped, glaring at Ark.

"That was for ruining your chances in having awesome girlfriends and for chasing my best friend like a fudging lunatic and hurting her!" She shot back, meeting David's glare head on.

"Whatever. Let's just go Drew. These bitches doesn't deserve our fucking attention." David grumbled, pulling Drew and started to walk away.

"Oh no no no! You did not just call me that!" Ark leaped out of the booth and jumped on David's back who fell down, face flat, on the ground.

I sighed, already knowing that I couldn't stop her even if I tried to. This is the wrath of my best friend and bogey man signed his death wish the moment he called her the b-word.

I turned to Theodore, pulling him in my lap with him facing me and handed him his toy in which he immediately took and started playing with it.

Ark started to pull on his hair,"Didn't your motherfudging parents told you to not curse in front of a child! You piece of poop!" She exclaimed, straddling his back and slamming his face unto the floor.

"Ow! Let go of me! You lunatic!" David said, trying to push Ark away."Drew! Don't just stand there and help me the fuck up!" He bellowed out, looking desperately at Drew.

Drew who was watching the whole ordeal with an amused look snapped out of it, took Ark by the waist and pulled her away from Boogey man.

"Let go of me you nut hol—" Ark didn't finish that sentence when suddenly, the manager came barreling towards us with a security guard in his side.

"Excuse me? You're scaring our customers and I suggest all of you leave before we call the police," The manager said, giving us a glare.

My mouth dropped open, I wasn't gonna risk both our asses and be brought to the station. My dad would throw a fit!

"Ark, Let's go. They're not worth it besides Theodore wants ice cream," I called out to her, standing up with Theodore in my arms.

"What? Ice cweam? Let's go go go go!" Theodore suddenly exclaimed, snapping out from his play time moment.

"You be thankful. If it weren't for that adorable child in her arms then I'd gladly continue this outside," She gave one last glare at the two and pulled me along with her.

The air nipped at us playfully and I pulled Theodore closer to me. He had his other arm wrapped around me while the other was playing his toy around my chest.

"I can't believe we got kicked out," I said, making our way towards her car.

She laughed,"It was worth it boo. Nobody messes with my best friend and gets away with it," She grinned, her brown eyes glancing at Theodore.

"We's go ice cweam birdie!" Thedore piped in once again, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Yes! Let's go champ!" Ark cooed, giving him a fist-bump which he'd gladly did back.

"You're the best A, Thank you." I softly said, giving her a smile.

She tsked,"Always boo. You got me and I got you," She promised, before giving me a side hug.

Hi cookies,

My heart hurts thinking about what happened to George Floyd and the fact that he wasn't the only one that had died in such an inhumane and injustice way absolutely breaks my heart into pieces☹️

We must not base our treatments towards others because of these and should treat each other like we all want to be treated because we are all the same— a human being.

Black people are being treated unfairly and some even died because of their skin color, people in the LGBTQ community are being harassed and bullied each day, People with different culture are being mocked and laughed by others just because they do things differently. It makes me furious that these differences are being used as an excuse to treat others badly, unfairly, and with disrespect.

Racists, Homophobics, and Xenophobes should get their head out of their fucking asses and realize that we are all human beings who were born into this world breathing the same fucking air and that fact right there should be enough reason to treat one another equally with the utmost respect and compassion.

Please stop being ignorant and use your social platforms as a way to express the importance on why these negative treatment and disgusting mind set should be stop and promote organizations that helps people who are suffering because of these.

#BlackLivesMatter and that's a fact. If you have a problem with all these things being discussed then I suggest you use the time during this quarantine to reflect and see the fault in that kind of mind set🙂

That's all cookies.

Question of the day:
Which state/city do you live in?

I hope everyone is doing well and don't forget to press that like button! I'll see you in the next update!

I just wanted to remind you guys that no matter what your skin color, gender, and culture is— You are loved, you are beautiful, you are you.
