Space Between

Your PoV
I finally finished my Chemistry Class and I was heading over to see Mal when I ran into Evie. She looked worried and stressed.
"Hey Evie. What's wrong?" I ask
"Mal's gone back to the isle." She says
"What?" I yell
Evie hands me a note I read it out loud.

Dear Evie and (Y/N),
Thank you so much for supporting me through everything and loving me for who I am but I belong on The Isle, my home.
Thank you (Y/N) for introducing me to Auradon, it was lovely but it's not my home. Please don't come looking for me.
I love you both so much.
Love Mal x

I handed the note back to Evie, tears in the corner of my eyes.
"We have to get her back." I say
"Let's go get Ben first." Evie says
I nod and run down the halls to Ben's office. We knock on the door.
"Ben?" Evie says
"Evie! (Y/N)! Come on in." Ben smiles
"Mal's gone back to the Isle." I sob
"Ben..." Evie says
"This is my fault. This is my fault. I-I blew it. She'd been under so much pressure lately, and instead of being understanding, I just went all Beast on her." Ben rambled on
"I have to go there and apologize. I have to go there and--and beg her to come back." Ben said
"Ben, you'll never find her." I shout
"You need to know the Isle and how it works and... You have to take me with you." Evie says
"Yes! Uh, are--are you sure?" Ben asks
"Yeah."
"I'm coming too." I say
"No. It's too dangerous." Ben replies
"She's my best friend. I can't not see her." I say
"And we'll bring the boys, too, because there's
safety in numbers, and none of us is really too popular over there right now." Evie explains
"Thank you."
"But let's get two things straight. You have to promise me that I won't get stuck there again." Evie says
"I promise." Ben replies
"And there's no way you two are going looking like that." Evie points out

Mal's PoV

As soon as I got to the Isle I decided I needed to change my hairstyle up so I went over to 'Lady Tremaine's Curl Up And Dye'. I stood at the entrance for a little bit waiting for Dizzy, Lady Tremaine's daughter, to notice me. She finally does.
"Mal!" She screams "Is Evie back, too?"
"As if." I laugh
"I, um, forgot that you guys don't open till midnight. Place looks good. So what is your deal? Has your grandmother given you any customers yet?" I ask her
"Ah, just a witch here and there. Mostly, it's a lot of scrubbing and scouring and sweeping. Lots and lots of sweeping." Dizzy replies
"Sounds like the old Cinderella treatment, eh?" I say
"Yeah, she's gone from Wicked Stepmother to Wicked Grandmother." She sighs
"That's not really much of a switch." I say
"Hey, Dizzy, you used to do Evie, right?" I questioned her
"Yeah. I thought of the little braids." She smiled
"You have any ideas for me?" I asked her
She walked over to me and grabbed my hair.
"The washed-out blonde with purple tips? The best of no worlds. You can't see where your face ends and your hair begins!"
She grabs my hands and examines my nails.
"Oh, what is this, 'Bored to Death Pink'?" She gags
"Hmm. How far can I go?" Dizzy asks me
"The works? I mean, whatever makes me feel like me, but, you know... way worse." I say
"Yay!" Dizzy gushed
"Hey! There I am." I looked into the mirror
"Voila!" Dizzy yelled
"Voila." I repeated
I took out my purse from my pocket and handed her my debit card. I won't be using that any time soon...
"For me?" She questions
"Yeah. You earned it." I smile
She runs over to her cash register when a mans voice speaks.
"Fork it over, you runt." The pirate says
"Now the rest of it. Hmm. Thank you. Mm-hmm."
"Still running errands for Uma, or do you actually get to keep what you steal?"
I sassily ask
"Well, well, well. What a nice surprise." He says
"Hi, Harry." I nod
"Just wait until Uma hears you're back. She's never gonna give you back your old territory." He threatens me
"Oh, well, that's okay. Because I will be taking it." I declared
"I could hurt you."
Harry runs his hook across my cheek. I grab it.
"Not without her permission, I bet." I pout
Harry storms off and knocks everything off of Dizzy's desk.
"Great. More sweeping." She sighs
I walk back to my hideout and flop down on the old, run down sofa. My head is in my hands and tears are streaming down my face quietly.

Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'll be the one, if you want me to

Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I am feeling so small
It was over my head

I know nothing at all
And I will stumble and fall

I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl

Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love

And I'm saying goodbye
Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
And anywhere, I would have followed you

Oh, oh, oh, oh say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something, I'm giving up on you

Say something...
