Hidden Spark on Earth (TFP)

Chapter 48

Ever since that day over the next two weeks, Saphira felt like she was in the shadow of everyone around her. While she has apologized and promised to not do it again, she knew the autobots had lost a lot of trust with her. She didn't know how she was going to regain it, but she became very, very quiet again during this time. Her ankle had indeed been sprained, but it healed within a week and she was walking around as she normally would. She and Optimus have not had any time alone. Saphira had tried a couple times, but Optimus has brushed her off each time. It hurt, it hurt a lot. She saw in his optics that he was still upset at what she had done. She understood that...she hoped he won't ignore her forever.

Due to this, Saphira spent more time away from the autobots. She still went to school and work, but she only would see them for those reasons. She stuck to going to the plot of land to work on her garden, which was seeing a lot more green and colour, even in the short time of planting. She already knew she when she would be harvesting some of the food that was growing, and that excited her. She also managed to cause the house to finally fall down. It actually took a simple push in the right direction to cause the entire building to come down, and it was not intentional either.

But, she made use of the wood and built a lot more garden beds and had them filled with soil, manure and compost for the next lot of food she intended to grow. She also began preparing a few things to grow grapes so they could climb on it and produce fruit and hang down from above. She was glad she was able to have a lot more materials to use and she mapped out some more areas that could turn into an orchid, though she did plan to cover this place with as much foliage as possible. She didn't want to be seen by anyone, except for the autobots.

At the moment, she was spending a lot of time on her biology, it was the final assessment and it was a big assignment. She had been working on it late into the night to get it done. It was an annoying thing, but she would be relieved once it was done. She was in her room, laying on her stomach on her couch in front of the TV. She had music playing on it while she worked on her assignment and singing to the song that was playing.

'Now I will tell you what I've done for you
Fifty thousand tears I've cried
Screaming, deceiving, and bleeding for you,
And you still won't hear me going under!

Don't want your hand this time, I'll save myself!
Maybe I'll wake up for once,
Not tormented daily, defeated by you,
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom!

Saphira did not hear the sound of the door opening as she continued to sing along to the song. She glanced at her biology book, reading through it and kept on singing, unaware of an autobot's presence in her room currently.

'I'm dying again,
I'm going under,

Drowning in you!

I'm falling forever!
I've got to break through,
I'm going under!

Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies, (so I don't know what's real)
(So I don't know what's real and what's not)
(Don't know what's real and what's not)
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can't trust myself anymore!'

Saphira smiled as she continued to write down in her textbook, she could use a computer to write it all, but she didn't want to. And the teacher was okay with handwritten as long as it was neat. And Saphira's handwriting was usually very tidy. She heard what she thought was a thud behind her, but she shrugged as she kept singing the song.

'I'm dying again,
I'm going under

Drowning in you!

I'm falling forever!
I've got to break through,
I'm going under!
