After her outburst Rosalie had stormed off to calm down. Stella quickly went after her but not before shooting Bloom a mean glare and telling Sky she'll take care of his mate.
Sky, Riven and Saul were still fuming but also wanted to go after their mate. However, they figured it was best to let Stella go first so they themselves could calm down a bit as well.
Musa, Terra and Aisha were in shock of what just happened. Rosalie is always the kind, sweet girl so seeing her get slapped like that and having her lash out like that was weird. Aisha was the first to come out of the shock "Bloom, are you alright?" She carefully asked. Realizing what she just did, she was telling the truth when she said "No. Not at all. I just slapped the one person that has been there for me through it all, only because Beatrix said something about her being mated to you." The last part of her statement was directed to the three guys in front of her.
"We didn't tell you to be a bitch to your sister." Riven bit back, still mad at the ginger girl for making his mate upset. "Rosalie was right, Bloom. We only told her this morning and since then she hasn't even spoken to us." "She seemed pretty cozy with mr. Silva back there." Bloom shot back. "Because she was scared out of her mind that you were hurt, Bloom. I was simply comforting her." Saul quickly replied. "She was cuddling into Sky when I got here!" Bloom defended. "She was asleep and Saul didn't want to wake her so I picked her up to bring her to her dorm." "Oh my god. So she hasn't done anything with you?" "Unfortunately not" Riven grumbled. He still hadn't touched her and it started to hurt more every hour.
"I'm so stupid. She's never going to forgive me, is she?" Bloom asked no one in particular. "I have to go apologize" "I think it's best if you let your sister calm down for now, Bloom. You will get the chance to talk to her tomorrow." Headmistress Dowling told the girl.
"Stella just texted me that she took Rosalie back to her room for the night" Sky told the other two. "Should we go to her?" Riven asked. "I think it's best if you also give her some space after what happened." ms. Dowling said, which Saul agreed with although it pained him to. "Hopefully she'll want to talk to us in the morning." Saul told the boys before they were heading off to their own rooms for the night.
Rosalie meanwhile had locked herself in Stella's room with said blonde. After Stella convinced her to stay in the suite tonight in her room as not to see Bloom instead of making a rash decisions like packing up everything and going back to California. She honestly thought about it after what happened. However, as Stella so kindly pointed out, it would hurt Riven, Sky and Saul incredibly much and she didn't want that.
She couldn't fall asleep after what happened. Stella was fast asleep though and Rose didn't want to bother her. That's why she quietly shuffled out of their room and the suite to go walk around for a bit.
It was quiet outside, which made sense as it was already 3 in the morning. Walking past the specialist's training grounds she spotted a figure smoking and staring off into space.
"Those things will kill you, you know" her voice was the last thing Riven expected at this hour. "Can I sit?" She asked him immediately after. "Of course, princess. Shit, I'm sorry. Not my princess" he bitterly corrected himself as to try and not upset her any further. "It's alright. I kinda like you calling me princess." Rose said while blushing a little. Looking at her wide eyed Riven asked if she was sure. "Yeah. Look, I'm sorry about the things I said before. It's all just new to me and you caught me off guard. Stella explained everything and I want to apologize for being such a bitch to you guys." She told him while looking him into his eyes. "So does that mean you are our princess?" Riven carefully asked. "I guess it does? I do want to take things slow!" She quickly said "but if you'll still have me, I want to be your princess" she told him shyly while slowly scooting over to him until she could lay her head on his shoulder. Riven immediately wrapped his arm around her and pulled her even closer to him, feeling the pain from her rejection flowing away and making room for the feeling of pure bliss. Placing a soft kiss on her head he said "we'll always want you as our princess, princess. Now what were you doing out here at this hour?" "I couldn't sleep after everything that happened and I didn't want to wake Stella." "If you want, you can sleep in Sky's and my room? I can take the couch." Riven offered.
Thinking over his offer, she figured it might help her get some sleep. Being in the same suite as Bloom made her feel on edge. Even if she was sleeping in a different room. "I can take the couch" Rosalie said. "Princesses don't sleep on couches." Riven protested. "Then we can share the bed. But no funny stuff, mister!" She told him while smiling up at him.
God, was he glad he went out for a smoke when he did. This felt like a dream! Standing up and holding out his hand for Rose he said "let's go to the room then, princess. We should probably get some sleep." Taking his hand in hers, she let him help her up but didn't make a move to let go of his hand afterwards. Something that made Riven feel like he was on cloud 9 again.
When they got to his and Sky's room, they quietly entered before settling down in Riven's bed. Riven pulled Rose close to him and both quickly fell asleep.
