"Rose..."
The word that leaves my lips means so much to me. The girl who I cared for the most. And I just stabbed her in the back.
I'm so dazed I can't say another word as Rose gets up and turns her back on me, her golden braid strutting behind her in a dance of fiery anger. Gwen touches my forearm, but I shake her off. My breath is literally gone but my feet refuse to budge.
"Nathan..."
"Don't talk to me, Wendy."
"Look, I'm sorry-"
"I said don't."
I can feel her sharp intake of breath on the back of my neck. She scurries away, and I hear her wail in a heartbroken cry as her accelerating footsteps leave the alley, following her far out into the reaches of the town.
The cold air whistles above, and it of all things snaps me out of my trance. A lob of who-knows-what catches in my throat, and I have no reason to restrain myself when a crystal tear sneaks out of the corner of my eye. I take one weary step, than another in the direction away from home. I need to clear my mind, for the sake of my mental well being.
The more I walk, the more the sky begins to dim, the more clearer I see the world around me. Although I may be denying it at heart, I have to face the facts. Rose has changed a lot. An awful lot is these two months. She's not really been herself. She doesen't joke, doesent really smile. Just kind-of goes through the motions, monotone and dull. It begins to tug at me, as Wendy is quite the opposite. She's great at everything she does, including being the most amazing waterbender ever, and everything she does, she does with a smile. Should I go back to her?
A: Yeah, Nathan, it's not like Rose cares about you anyways.
B: You're 3 years apart! And she's basically your sister!
A: So what? Better than being attracted to a murderer...
C: SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU!!!!! Everyone knows Kelvin's the way to go...
A: Wtf?
B: Wtf?
C: (^з^)-☆
B: If you turn your back on her, you'll kill Rose!
A: She's already dead.
C: ！(◎_◎;)
A&B: ?
C: Nothing.
A: Be reasonable...
B: DONT LISTEN TO HIM ROSE IS THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE YOU WERE MADE FOR EACH OTHER I HARDCORE SHIP NATHOSE YOU ARE SO PERFECT TOGETHER COMON!!!!!
C: (o_0)
A: NATHOSE WHAT KIND OF SHIP NAME IS THAT I SHIP GWENDAN
C: (@_@)
I sigh, my eyes drifting to the sky. It's a long time before I wander back home to find Rose not in bed. Her clothes, Luna and there's an empty beer bottle on the counter and a letter close beside. My eyes only scan the letter before my pupils grow and I let out a wild yelp.
