After looking and still nothing we go out shopping so I can buy more underwear and a lockable door knob. When we made it back we asked Robin to put the new knob on my and all our doors. Us girls no longer trust Kat at all so we go through everything we have and get rid of any underwear that was not in the packaging.

F: You are not gonna believe what I caught Kat doing OMG

I put my phone down and keep going through my things into a trash bag. Anything that has direct contact with me I throw out, I also make a list of it all so I know what to buy. I hear my phone ring so I check to see if Cyran texted back.

C: Oh no what did the whore do this time?

I sent him a massive paragraph of what she did.

F: I'm going through all my stuff and getting rid of anything and everything that has direct contact with my...

F: You know what

C: Good, that's smart Flare

C: I think you should get a lock for your door so she can't enter

F: Far ahead of you

F: Clara and Grace also changed theirs as we now no longer trust her

C: WOW haha, good job Flare

C: Hope it works

C: Got to go back to work, talk later Flare

F: Talk later got to throw away so many of my things

When Kat got home and saw we changed our locks she blew up at us all. But every single one of us blew up at her all at once. We all say that the five of us will be selling the house and moving. We warn Kat and Triston to pack their things and find their own place cause they will never be welcomed in our home again.

It was near the end of October and I was working on some art commissions for customers. Cyran and I were on a video call as he likes talking to me while I work and I can't text while drawing. It started out just voice and soon he wanted to turn on the camera. He begged me to turn my camera on so I had to build a make-shift stand till I got a holder for my phone.

"Hey Flare I have a question I must ask you, can you look at me for a moment?"

He spoke and I look up at my phone so I put my tablet pen down and look back at the phone.

"Alright you have my full attention," I give him a smile.

"How would you feel if the two of us started dating?"

I froze wondering if he was for real. We had only known one another for three months and he wants to be boyfriend and girlfriend already.

"Y-you sure about this Cyran?" I ask wanting to make sure.

"I have never been so sure about anything in my life. Please be my girlfriend, my beautiful Fire Princess." He put his hands together as if to beg me to say yes to him.

"Y-yes, I'll be your girlfriend," I cover my face as I felt I was blushing so hard.

"I can still see you blushing even when you hide your face Princess," I kicked my chair so it was out of camera view. "HEY, get back here you bugger, I wanna see my cute small girlfriend blushing." I give him a quick middle finger so he gasps, "Flare how ru-," He bursts out laughing. "I can't fake being shocked, I don't care if you curse or anything. I'm so happy you said yes, I love you, baby."

I jump into my bed and squeal out of nervousness and happiness. When I calm down I get back into my chair and move back to my drawing tablet. I try to go back to work but I take a glance at my phone seeing him with a smug smile on his face, with his head in his hands looking right at me.

"There's my beautiful girlfriend's face again."

I squeal and just pull my hood over my head and pull the strings tight. 

"STOP," I shout.

"Make me."

"I CAN'T WHEN YOU LIVE FOUR HOURS AWAY!!"

"That makes it just a little more fun but sucks when I wanna hold you and kiss you all night long."

Cyran and I plan out some weekends to meet halfway between our homes to try and do dates. I try to do them between the commissions I do. But with Cyran's job, it's unpredictable and it messes up our date weekends and we have to cancel. I hate it so much as I get so excited to go out on a date wondering what he has planned. He would make up for it with video call dates, food, movies and anything we can do via video call.

A lot of the time when we are on a video call we would just be silent for hours without a single word spoken. I never minded it, I just liked knowing he was there and I could hear him typing away at his computer. At random times through the calls, one of us would say something but it mainly 'I Love You' back and forth. He was, of course, the first one to say it out of us both and it makes me blush hearing it every time he does.
