Fantasy Everything Is Not As It Seems...

[AviouslyPTX]

I laugh uncontrollably, feeling my knees getting weaker. "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm begging please stop!" I begged him. I dropped to my knees and fell over as I laughed even harder, unable to stop.

 

[JKthegreat]

WHen she fell to the floor, she pulled me down with her and I stopped tickling her. Instead I smiled, wrapped both my arms around her and pulled her so in so close that our noses were touching.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

After I caught my breath, I giggled and kissed him gently. Once I pulled away, I sighed looking down. "I have a feeling it's me and you on one side and the other three on the other side. And I'm not even sure I have your support," I admitted looking away.

After Sapphira settled in, she followed the noise to the cafeteria. "There are no sides," she spoke up. She had decided she was going to try to be louder.

 

[JKthegreat]

I slowly stood up when I heard Sapphira approach and speak. "You guys finally made it" I said looking at her with a half smile "And yeah there are sides. Let's be honest here, of course there are. Its Lake vs Aurora, Lake's got Cole and you and Aurora has me, we all know it just no one wants to say it." I pulled Aurora up by her hand and put my arm around her, to try and say You do have my support in a subtle way.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

"Yes there are Sapphira. And I can tell when I look at you that you feel sorry for her. So you sided with her," I stated simply and decided not to move. She doesn't like me. It's obvious. Most likely because I have what she wants I thought to myself but decided not to say it out loud. I was too happy right now to start anything.

 

[kattrispotter]

"I'm not on anyone's side," Sapphira said, the quiet of her voice now seeming deadly. "There shouldn't be sides here. I'm stuck in the middle of you two and your boyfriends. I'm just trying to keep the peace."

 

[AviouslyPTX]

"Save it Sapphira. I want to get along with you but you're making it really hard when you're lying to my face. Face it. You can't stand me. I can see it in your eyes. I can read you like a book. And don't think I don't see the way you look at him. I'm not stupid. You've sided with Lake which is perfectly fine. I know I've been a b**** to her since we met but it goes the same for her. If I can ever get her alone, I'll try to talk it out with her as long as she doesn't try to kill me again," I said before putting my arm around Oliver's waist.

 

[kattrispotter]

Sapphira's eyes flashed. "You don't believe me? Fine. And by the way? I don't want what you have. Unlike you, I'm perfectly capable of keeping my legs shut." The girl turned, before adding, "I'm done trying to help all of you."

 

[AviouslyPTX]

I sighed and took a deep breath, calming down before I reached out and grabbed her arm gently and turned her around, facing me. "Sapphira, wait. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. I honestly want to be your friend. And...I'll try to keep my temper under control if Lake does the same. I swear on my life I'm willing to try to make this work. Can you just please tell Lake I asked to talk to her. That's all I want is to just talk," I looked her in the eyes.

 

[kattrispotter]

"Of course," Sapphira nodded. "I promise, I'll tell her. I just... I don't want any trouble. Everything will be best if we all just get along."

 

[AviouslyPTX]

"It could be the difference in life and death for us," I added, crossing my arms. I couldn't help but smile a bit as I said, "With the way you two say it, you make it sound like I'm a whore." I laugh a bit with a hint of fake hurt in my voice.

 

[kattrispotter]

"At least you've found someone," Sapphira said with a genuine smile. She reached into Aurora's mind. I'm happy for you, she told her.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

I smiled going up to her and hugged her as I whispered, "Thank you. And I'm sure you'll find someone and well." I pulled away and thought for a moment. "Hey do you still have your violin?"

 

[kattrispotter]

Sapphira nodded. "I had it in my hand when you pulled me out of my room," she explained. "Thank you for that, by the way. I meant to say it before, but things kinda got... Crazy."

 

[AviouslyPTX]

"You're welcome," I said and grabbed her arm, pulling her upstairs. "I'll get my guitar and meet you in your too in five minutes."

 

[kattrispotter]

"What? Why?" Sapphira laughed. She broke free of Aurora's grasp, smiling broadly.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

"Because. I'm gonna play with you. I'm gonna get my guitar, and we're gonna play some stuff together," I explained, smiling widely as a slight chuckle escaped.

 

[kattrispotter]

"That sounds great," Sapphira said. "But..." She looked down at her feet. "I'm not very good... I haven't played in front of other people since..." Her voice trailed off. Since my best friend died, she wanted to say, but she didn't.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

"I heard you in your room back at the facility. You're amazing," I said reassuringly. I could tell something was wrong, but I didn't want to pry. I'll ask her later I thought before putting a hand on her shoulder.

 

[JKthegreat]

"Well I would join you guys" I said smiling wryly "But there isn't a single musical bone in my body, so I'll leave you guys to do your thing" I gave Aurora a quick peck on the cheek before walking off towards the fields, where I found a football match going on. "Hey, Oliver" I heard someone call. It was Lloyd, walking over to me. "Why don't you join in?" He asked with a smile. "Yeah sure, what team?" I asked. "Well you're wearing a red shirt, smart one, so maybe all the team with all the other guys that have red shirts" He said chuckling. "Yeah, ok thanks" I said and ran on to the field.

 

[KneelingAngel]

Lake sat on her bed in her new dorm… The room was bigger and better then she imagined, but she still felt uncomfortable for some reason. Her eyes stung from all the tears that had spilled before and her throat hurt from keeping all the sobs in. She didn't have anything to do. All her stuff were at the facility, even her guitar.


Sighing she stood up and left the room for some fresh air. She needed to clear her head. Once outside she walked over the giant school yard and fields of grass, it was weird how big this place was for her. She turned around when there was a shout and caught the soccer ball that had aimed for her face. Placing the ball on her hip, she noticed some guys playing soccer, Oliver included. She looked away and tossed the ball to him. It looked like he was having fun with the others.

 

[JKthegreat]

"Guys I'll be right back" I called to the others, and ran after Lake as I saw her throw the ball. "Hey" I said as I got next to her "Can I talk to you quick please?" I smiled at her to show that it wasn't anything bad.

 

[KneelingAngel]

"Sure." Lake said. She didn't really want anything from him, but she didn't really want to be alone either. "What do you want?"

 

[JKthegreat]

"Uh, I'm sorry about back there, and so is Aurora" I began looking at her "And she wants to show it. She wants to meet you somewhere today to...talk. She just wants to try and sort something out between you guys so that at least you can be within 100 feet of each other."
