Chapter 31~ Shut Up!

Sorry about not writing in ages we had a few setbacks and Wattpad was being annoying and the chapter was deleted by a glitch so we have gone through a few technical issues.

Libra POV

Squad Z and X had gone out for dinner at different restaurants while Squad Y had opted for a movie. Winter was well in Astra, with heavy snow everywhere. All the couples sat together, while the single pringles kind of created their own cult.

"Wow this restaurant is definitely my style!" Leo said enthusiastically. 

"You know it," Sagittarius added.

The restaurant was a fancy seafood restaurant that Gemini had suggested instead of going to the one we usually went to for dinner. A tall waiter with dark slicked back hair arrived at our table, 

"Hello what will you all be ordering tonight?" He asked politely.

Virgo, Capricorn Scorpio, Sagittarius and Leo decided for lobster, Gemini, Taurus and Aries ordered the fish pasta, Aquarius and I ordered the seafood salad and Pisces and Cancer ordered fish and chips.

For desert half the group ordered custard pudding and the other half: chocolate cake.

"Is the food ready yet," Cancer whined impatiently.

"Cancer it's only been 5 minutes," Virgo added. I glanced at Aquarius who seemed to be pouting at Gemini and Aries. Aquarius seemed down lately. I brushed it off, Aqua wasn't one to get emotional. However, I was still worried.

"I do admit, they are taking a really long time," Gemini added, wanting to eat badly.

"Gem," I looked at her, "it has only been 10 minutes," I comforted. She rolled her eyes and sighed.

Taurus POV

After 20 minutes of listening to Cancer, Gemini and Aries whine the waiter came back with the tray of the mains because we didn't order appetizers (sadly). The lobsters seemed cooked to perfection, the pasta was decorated beautifully and even the fish and chips looked luxurious. 

I was practically drooling, everything seemed so delicious. The food was seasoned perfectly and I dived in and it was love at first sight.

"Wow, this is amazing, it tastes exquisite, thanks for recommending this restaurant Gemini" I  said stuffing my face with food. 

"Pfft, It's fine," Gemini said happily.

Gemini was practically glued to Aries. Virgo was at my side enjoying her lobster. She seemed happy which was good, I wanted her to be happy because she was anxious about going out with the snow.

Once everybody had finished their mains, the waiter came back with a whole tray of deserts.

I stare at the sweets hungrily, even though I had already eaten my main, I wanted the sugary sweets as well.

"Mmm chocolate cake," Pisces hummed happily taking a bite from her cake. Leo chuckled quietly and Pisces was completely flushed red, she was practically a tomato.

"Aww," I heard Cancer say.

The rest of the night went smoothly, with pretty much no issues and everyone agreed to go straight back to the dorms rather than going for karaoke as it was too cold.

Cancer POV 

Once everybody else was in their dorms I strolled over to the greenhouse because the garden was practically frozen. Scorpio and I were going to make it official but I needed one more thing.

"Hey darling," Scorpio called. Oh gosh he called me Darling. 

"Hey Scorpy," I say trying to be as flirty as I could.

Before I could say anything else, his lips crashed onto mine, forming a passionate, tender kiss. We broke apart when we could hardly breathe.

"I missed your sweet lips," He hums playing with my blonde hair.

"Scorpio, what are we?" I ask staring into his deep, beautiful eyes

"What do you mean? I thought we were going to make it official tonight," He says pulling me closer for another kiss, I restrain myself and push him away reluctantly.

"Scorpio we need to talk, I mean I've told you about my family, my friends and my life but you need to trust me as well Scorpio, everytime I ask you a personal question you push it away, all you told me was that you had 'bad memories' of you're parents come on," I blurt out mindlessly.

"Shit," He curses under his breath, "listen I'm trusting that you will not tell a soul about this," 

"Yes Scorpio, I won't tell anyone," I said. 

He pauses for a moment and sighs, okay let's talk, he grabs my hand and we walk through the moonlit greenhouse. 

"Well my father was a horrible person, he well abused me a lot and used me to help his gang and stuff and I don't know who my mother is, she's probably dead but yeah," He started

I just shut up and listened to him, I listened to him talk about how his father hit him, how his father would use Scorpio's power for gang business, how he wished he knew his mother. I could feel tears in my eyes and then they poured out.

"Oh Scorpio, I feel horrible- I'm so sorry," I sobbed

"No it's not your fault, don't cry damn it, if you cry I'll cry," He said in a shaky voice.

I stopped sobbing for a moment, "Wait what happened after that, what happened to your dad,"

Scorpio POV

Images flashed into my head, It was me, stabbing him, killing him. I was just a cold, heartless murderer. "No, I- I can't," Tears threatened to spill from my eyes, "You'll hate me, I'll lose you," I add desperately.

"Scorpio, I promise I won't hate you," Cancer whispered sweetly as she clutched my hand. I didn't deserve her damn it. 

"Fuck," I mumble under my breath, "Cancer you don't understand-" I paused for a moment considering telling her the truth. I sighed, I was crying, I needed to tell her, even if she hated me, even if she left me, even if-

"Cancer I killed him, I'm a murderer, a filthy, heartless murderer, who doesn't deserve you," I tremble, sobbing quietly.

"Scorpio, I didn't think you killed him but I support you, I know it was wrong but I love you," She added. Before I could reply her lips locked with mine into an affectionate kiss. I needed that, I needed her.

"Wow you really are cute," I laugh, pulling away from the kiss.

"Shut up!" She blushed, slapping my arm playfully.
