Love Can't Be Denied

Its Back

Getting back to the ships, they all argued about where to meet up at for 15 minutes as Bloom's items were put on the ships. They eventually decided on Eraklyon, so getting off the cold, now forbidden, planet, they all fell silent, back to only the sound of software keys clicking and the roar of the engine. After an hour, the ships were landing on Eraklyon and Bloom still hadn't woken up. Everyone went up to the room they all chill and talk in while Sky took Bloom to the med wing, meeting with everyone in 15 minutes.

"Hey, man. How ya doing?" Helia was the first to notice Sky had walked in and everyone turned to him. A small smile tugged on his lips and he belly flopped into a lone bed, his face in a pillow. "What exactly happened, by the way?"

The room fell silent and a tense atmosphere surrounded Sky. He stiffly sat up, a heartbroken expression on his face. "I shouldn't have let her go..." he put his head in his hands as the first tear fell. "I didn't know..." he felt a presence beside him and tensed up again as several others surrounded him and a bro group hug formed around him.

The girls had tears running down their cheeks, thinking about what happened and what Sky said and they hugged each other. Everyone calmed down after half an hour and were lounging around when Sky's phone rang. He picked it up without looking at the ID.

"Hello?" He answered looking up at the ceiling.

"H-hi Sky..." her voice cracked and she sounded like she trying not to break.

"Bloom!" His voice contained excitement and worry as he sat up. Everyone in the room turned to look at him once her name left his mouth.

"I-I'm sorry, Sky. I-I couldn't protect it" her voice broke and he could hear her sobbing from the other side. Little did she know, he was already half way down the hallway outside the room with everyone nearly running after him.

He stayed on the phone with her until he got there, everyone else panting behind him. He entered her room and went over to her, hugging her tightly. "It's ok" he mumbled in her ear, his muscles flexing around her waist. She nodded softly, a sniffle leaving her nose. She looked up at him, her eyes darting over to her friends and more tears ran down her cheeks.

Sky got out the way as all the girls reunited with Bloom, hugging her tightly and their crying filled the room. They eventually developed headaches and calmed down, holding their heads lightly, sitting with they're significant other.

"Wait! You two did it!" Stella exclaimed, looking between Bloom and Sky who blushed and everyone 'ooh'ed at them childishly which resulted in eye rolls.

After a bit, Daphne said she had to head back to Domino to return the water stars back to the elders. She hugged her sister and kissed her head before teleporting back home. Some time after, the doctor came in saying Bloom is good to go once  her vitals were checked.

They all went upstairs and went into separate rooms with their bf/gf to get some sleep for the night after having dinner with Erendor and Samara. No one noticed, but Bloom barely ate anything, she convinced herself it was because of the months of stress resulted in her loss of an appetite. Once upstairs with Sky, she showered and changed into a big shirt and leggings, crawling into bed and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillows. Sky smiled softly from behind her and kissed the back of her head before laying on his back, falling asleep himself.

Early that morning, Bloom rolled over and opened her eyes, her eyes focusing on the blonde prince laying beside her. They drifted from him to the window where sunlight was streaming through. She sighed, not wanting to get up. She just wanted to stay here all day.

Swinging her legs off the bed, she tip toed over to Sky's closet and stole one of his more casual shirts and a skirt and leggings from her stuff, heading to the bathroom. Taking a shower, her spirit felt lighter than it has in awhile. Humming softly to herself, Bloom washed up and got out, with a towel around her, squeezing the extra water out of her hair then wrapped another towel around it.

She dried off and looked down at her stomach, an intense anger and sadness brewed there as the scar didn't fade but instead, stood out in a crimson red. Shaking her head, she got dressed and adjusted her clothes then continued with drying her hair. She went out the bathroom and grabbed a brush, starting to detangle her hair while Sky went in the bathroom.

She could still feel that anger stirring inside but chose to ignore it for now and went downstairs to join the others for breakfast. She was almost tackled off her feet by Stella who hugged her tightly and dragged her to the table. Everyone laughed and Bloom smiled, picking up a piece of toast and eating it slowly. Everyone got into conversations as Sky came down, looking tired but happy.

He ate and joined in the conversation, sitting beside Bloom who was strangely quiet and on her phone playing a game. He let her be seeing she was content. Once breakfast ended, most of them wanted to go to the mall and do some shopping. "You coming, Bloom?" Bloom looked up and was gonna answer with a sure, but something didn't seem right.

"Nah. You guys go ahead without me" she smiled at them. They looked between each other and the girls went over to her, hugging her tightly. She stood in their arms confused, but hugged them back anyway.

Sky kinda had to go with them since they've never went shopping on Eraklyon before so he hugged and kissed Bloom, promising he'd be back as soon as he can. She waved them goodbye while the limo took them out to the city.

Bloom sighed, feeling as if all the universe weighed on her chest. She stumbled up to her and Sky's room but went to the room where everyone gossips at and curled up in one of the bean bags. She closed her eyes for a second taking a deep breath and a sharp sting reverberated from her stomach to the rest of her body, throwing her out of the chair.

She hissed in pain but didn't want to aware anyone. She lifted up Sky's shirt and saw the scar an angry shade of red, bruises and scars flickering on and off her stomach. She crawled to the bathroom and lifted herself up, tossing off the shirt as her skin felt as if it were a tiny minefield.

She watched as her skin went between patches of blue, purple, yellow and red, some staying and others trying to decide to or not. She felt as if everything got colder and darker around her. She put the shirt back on and when she looked back in the mirror, a dark wisp drifted into the bathroom and she could only stare at it through the mirror in fear of if it was actually there.

It went around her legs and curled up around her body loosely. She was too much in fear to move her hands and possibly wave it off. The wisp grew thicker around her and slowly tightened around her till she couldn't move a muscle. It continued this, it's tightness speeding up especially around her stomach and chest til she could barely breathe. This lasted until she passed out.
