Prism Of Lovers

33

Violet's pov:
I started the AC and stripped out of my clothes. I changed into my Pyjamas glancing at Lucy who was in a deep sleep on the bed. I plopped down on the bed when Lucy came on my lap and slept there. I sighed feeling a familiar knot forming in my throat. I looked at the nightstand seeing the pendant and the ring laying there. I picked up the pendant and ran my fingers on the broken jewel.

Was this supposed to be my fate? Broken love? Broken destiny? Broken feelings and broken heart? I broke my skin...and now the fate it plotting to break my faith in love. I felt tears pricking my eyes as I took a deep breath.

My past relationships...didn't end well. Well they ended in such a way that I didn't even realize that they ended. I had no time. No time to process that the once never ending love...was nothing but a fling. No time to process that the ones who promised to give me love...took the source of love with them.

I glanced at the tattoo on my left arm. It was the one I got on the day I experienced my first break up. It doesn't hold much of a meaning. Just that everyone has their phases. I had mine. Just that it gets harder and harder to get out of it...

I try my best to see myself through Veronica. I even see myself in Nathan and Morris. When Nathan gets shy...I feel him. When Morris feels content...I feel him. When Veronica feels loved...I feel her. I feel them. But I don't feel myself.

Skyler didn't realize what he made me feel today. He thought I won't hear him. But I did. Why don't I get myself a boyfriend? It's not in my hands... It's not in my hands that no one can put up with a person like me. My clinginess, my sensitive approach to everything, my hidden fantasies and explicit deeds I indulge in...who would want that?

I kept the pendant back on the nightstand and chuckled to myself. Lucy was cuddled up to the comforter of the bed instead of my leg. So I got up and took my phone from the other counter. I sent a quite urgent text and played a song that came to my mind. Freak by Doja Cat.

Freak like me
You want a good girl that does bad things
You never been with no one as nasty
Spice up your life, come get a freak
Freak like me

I began to sway my hips slowly in the silent room. I felt myself sighing and tearing up at the intro. That wasn't an emotional song. But my built emotions took the best of me.
Who would want a freak like me?

Morris's pov:
We just entered our bedroom when I saw an envelope on the bed. I broke open the envelope and found a letter. "What's this about?" Urban backhugged me and glanced down at the letter. I frowned at the smudged handwriting. The letter said-

You don't have to worry about the fifth pair. I will give a call letter when you all are needed. Minari wishes to meet you all first. Do not rush to find the trinkets. It may cost you a lot. So wait till you get a call letter. Sora will leave a letter wherever you might be. Tell everyone to forget about the trinkets and focus on their routine.
~Kaage

I read the letter out to Urban. He simply nodded on my shoulder. I sighed an clicked a picture of the letter to send it later on to the group. "We're gonna do this baby. Don't worry now. Let's focus on the Home-visit week we're having soon." I gulped at the thought of telling my parents about my boyfriend. "Uh...well now that added to my worries. Thanks Urban." I couldn't help but pout at the thought, when I felt a pair of lips capture mine. Urban pulled me by my waist deepening the kiss. I kissed back. I could sense the desperation and passion in his kiss. I felt my worries get washed away. When we pulled away, Urban simply smiled. "Thanks baby." I said and hugged him.

I was never so confident. But I could feel that things would go my way. If they didn't...I'd have to make them go my way. The man I love...I was in his arms. I had to make things go right. Because me and Urban...it's just us. No one else. So I would go to any extent to prove my adoration for the man who gave me the new found confidence.

I hoped things would go right.

No one's pov:
When Nathan came back from a quick shower, he saw Skyler whimpering on the bed in tears. His eyes were red and Violet's diary was laying on the floor. "Sky....." Nathan went to the bed and hugged his crying boyfriend. "I-it sounds ordinary but it isn't Nathan....she went through a lot. I really shouldn't have said what I said." He broke down even more in his boyfriend's arms. "Baby..she went through that. But now she has us. Right? She'll be fine. We'll protect her." Nathan felt Skyler gently nodding. He himself felt tears welling up in his eyes. "W-we'll protect her..." Skyler mumbled against his boyfriend's tummy. He pulled Nathan on his lap and hugged him tighter.

Meanwhile:
David heard a ding on his phone hinting that he had received a text on his phone. He looked down at his sleeping girlfriend and kissed her forehead. He swiftly slid from her embrace and shifted to see his phone on the nightstand. He smiled at the text and replied. In a few minutes he heard soft knocks on the door.

When he opened the door, Violet entered the room with Lucy in her hands. She placed the feline on the floor and looked at David. He could see the puffy, red eyes and flushed cheeks. "You okay, hun?" The girl nodded and glanced at her sleeping soulmate. David knew that the girl didn't want to talk about it. So sighed and went to the bed.

He laid down on the bed and pulled his girlfriend closer to his side. "You coming?" David asked softly. Violet nodded and got into the duvet. She hugged her best friend feeling tears well up in her eyes. She was feeling weak at that moment. Violet felt an arm wrapping around her waist and glanced at David who was cuddling to both the girls. Veronica sighed happily with the warmth she received from both the sides and snuggled to her boyfriend's chest.

Violet felt David's hand patting her back gently. "Sleep now." With a simple nod the girl felt her eyes getting heavy. In no time..the two friends fell asleep just like the sleeping figure in the middle.

~what would the Home-visit week bring out for the friends?
