Lightning In A Bottle (Luck Voltia x OC)

Chapter 19

I only managed to sleep again after hours of contemplating ways to stop Luck from breaking up with me. Eventually I decided to consult Faris. We were meeting up again soon and judging by the length of the vision....I still had time. One or two days tops, which should be enough

Later on, during our meetup, Faris was positively buzzing with excitement. The moment he saw me he was spilling the beans with no sign of stopping.

"Beckie! Beckie, Beckie, Beckie! You'll never guess what!!"

"What?" I asked wearily.

Faris held up his hand, revealing a sparkling diamond ring.

"I'm engaged!" he said, his eyes sparkling. "Oh, it was so amazing, Becks! He was so romantic!! I feel like the luckiest man alive-"

I suddenly felt tears spurt down my cheeks.

My brother, naturally, was having everything go perfectly. A perfect romance.

"Becks? What's wrong?" asked Faris, hugging me.

"I think....I think Luck wants to break up with me!" I howled into his chest, sobbing.

"Dude, what? I thought he was head over heels for you!"

I didn't reply.

"Okay, calm down, it's gonna be okay. I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding." Faris told me.

I sobbed harder.

"C'mon, sit down." said Faris, lightly pulling me down onto the side of the fountain.

"What's up?"

I sniffled.

"I...."

I'd never seen Faris so patient.

"He....he's just b-been so di-distant...." I mumbled.

"What do you mean?"

"I-i mean....he's just....n-not been talking to me....to me and wh-whenever I try t-to talk to him, he seems s-so nervous...."

"Anything else?"

"I...." I hesitated. "I had an- another vision."

Faris nodded.

"W-we were on the r-roof....and h-he said he needed to- to tell me something, and he looked so nervous...."

Faris looked me dead in the eye.

"Becks, if he really does wanna break up with you there isn't much you can do. But Lightning Boy is head over heels for you, kid. If you really have to, you should make the most of this time. A'ight, put it this way; what does Luck mean to you?"

"A....a lot. I....love him a lot...."

"Then show him that. If he does wanna break up with you, make the most of the time you still have left with him....and if he doesn't, go make some awesome memories with him."

I sniffled again.

"Becks, sometimes this doesn't last forever. But even if it doesn't, it's pretty damn good while it lasts. And you gotta make the most of that, kiddo."

"Thanks I needed that." I sat up, wiping my tears away.

"So what are you going to do?"

"I think I'll make him something. Maybe a pie?"

"Like the ones you used to make with mum?"

"Exactly! I still remember the recipe. Come on Faris, we'll buy the ingredients now, that way I can get started as soon as I get home!"
