Chapter 7 Part 2: Change

Love is complex, is it because of feelings?

Reyna realized something as the sunshine strikes her skin. The warmth of the rays of the sun however this time it doesn't feel very warm. That heavy feeling still lurk in heart radiant heart. She hated the feeling. The feeling of loving someone who doesn't love you back. She didn't want to accept it but perhaps she was jealous. Her head was wrapped up in clouds, wondering how does she even love Sage. Does she really love her or is this an infatuation? She thought with her eyes still half closed. Sometimes you can think that you're in love when in reality you just wanted to be loved. Maybe this was it? She thought once more with her eye shedding a tear. No, of course it wasn't that.

She yawned and stood up from her bed still a bit tired and sleepy. She scratched her messy hair then stretched her arms wide. She grabbed her phone carelessly then went to the living room. "Get out of my way." Viper glared at one of Skye's creatures as she walk carrying a box full of her toxins. The creature whined and ran to Skye hiding behind her. Reyna went straight to the sofa and was greeted by a bird landing on the top of her head. She then felt the top of her head getting lighter, indicating the bird went away or got taken away. "Sorry everyone." Skye apologized with her creatures on her hands and following her.

The scientist didn't say anything and just continued walking to her room with the box in her hands. Reyna sighed at the Australian, letting out some of the heavy feelings she had in her heart. Skye gulped nervously and went outside joined with her creatures, thinking Reyna is in a bad mood today. Then suddenly there was a notification that popped up on Viper's phone in the sofa making a ding sound. Reyna glanced at the phone and accidentally read the first part of the notification, it was a message.

was geht ab?

One of her eyebrows was raised in confusion. It seems like she doesn't understand the text message very well. She looked at the scientist who came back and handed her the phone. "Somebody messaged you." The mexican smiled lightly at her. Viper smiled back at her but as soon as she grabbed her phone her smile faded away. Reyna scoffed to herself as she watch her go back to her room. "Was it really that important?" She runs her fingers through her hair.

Then her phone notified, she immediately felt excited. Hoping and expecting that it was Sage who finally messaged her. Her eyes full of excitement fall into disappointment, it wasn't a message from her. It was just a stupid YouTube notification, she thought. She remembered what happened last night, what she saw. What she wishes to forget. What she sometimes wish she didn't see since then. Her thumb tapped the call button as if it had its own mind, as if it moved on its own. She didn't mean to but she didn't tap the 'end the call' button. She watched it ring with eyes that seek the truth. Her eyes dropped down as the call directed her into the voicemail.

"Call me when you're available or at least leave a message."

Her voice sounded her usual tone but at the same time it sounded hurt.

They said you shouldn't expect to not get hurt. That you shouldn't have expectations to not get disappointed. It appears that Reyna perhaps had a little too much expectations from someone who may or may not love her back.

Didn't she say she was fine with it even if Sage doesn't love her back? That's true, but why is that it's so painful? Does love really require at least one of them hurting?

Some people get tired of it. Tired of trying, tired of being hurt, tired of loving, tired of the person that was once their world. Their everything. People will always have their limits on how long they could go for.

The promises that were broken.

The I love you's that turn into I want to forget you or I hate you.

The memories that they soon wish to fade away.

The person that used to be their happiness becomes their source of pain and sorrow.

Loving is tiring so several people take breaks. Love changes you. The person you once used to be is gone and sometimes you wish to be that person again. Longing for that person who you aren't anymore. The person you were back then isn't you now and you have no choice but to keep moving forward.

For the villain who is in pain, she who has no chance of being chosen over 'the bestfriend'. How come the villain who's strong and fearless became weak and fearful at this very moment? She fears that her girlfriend really did cheated on her. She fears that Sage had fallen for Jett again. She fears that day when Sage would be gone.

A cloaked man enters the living room with a bowl of chips, joining Reyna in the sofa. He switches the channel of the television and offers Reyna chips from the bowl in his hand making her snap back into reality. "Chips?" He smiled at her, noticing she looked very troubled. She shook her head and looked into the television in front. He placed the bowl of chips into the coffee table. "What's troubling you..." He said with his eyes still focused on the movie. She let's out a sigh not wanting to talk to him.

"I told you I will listen."
"and I've told you this already, I don't need your help." She glared at him with intense fierce in her eyes. She took a chip from the bowl with Omen now looking at her. "Tell me your problems, I want to help you." He moved away from her, giving her more space. Reyna looked around them if there's other people around but it looks like the coast is clear. She then whispered to him what happened. She trusted him considering he had always followed her orders and was there for her.

-

"They kissed?" Omen asked with chips in his mouth. "They look like they were..." She whispered her reply at him with a low tone of voice. Omen sighs at her. "You mean, you assumed they did because they looked like they were?" He raised an eyebrow at her.

"Yes. If you were there you'd think so too."
"You must ask her about it before jumping into conclusions."

"If you're so sad being in a relationship with her why don't you just break up with her right now?" He asked her in a serious tone, his voice was still rough and deep. Her chest tightened, she didn't want to break up with her. "Because I love her." She said in a low tone of voice, it sounded weak and it didn't sound like something 'Reyna' would say. Omen felt something in his heart he never had felt before. He didn't like this new feeling, he wasn't used to it.

Maybe this whole relationship was a lie all along,

But at least it was a beautiful one.

"I thought loving was supposed to be beautiful and happy." his eyebrows became docile and his eyes looked worried with something else mixed into it.

"I thought so too."
