SCARS AND BRUISES II fate : winx saga

accusations over heartbreaks

"Disappointment mixed with anger is a toxic combination."

Sky leaves the greenhouse soon again as he wanted to talk to Stella so I stay with Saul. He might feel better, but he's not completely healed already. Saul grins at me. I'm more than happy to finally see a smile on his face again.

"Would you tell Stephen that the burned one is dead?", Saul asks me but I hesitate trying to find an excuse. "You're his brother and you're healing. I think he'd be a lot happier to hear it from you", I suggest and Saul agrees.

Finally, the day comes to an end. An happy end. I even sleep at Saul's apartment at Alfea. We grew up in his house in the mountains but since we're here and he's at Alfea almost every day, he got his own apartment at school.

He wants me to adjust to others as well so Sky and I stay in the student's apartment but sometimes even he doesn't listen to his own rules. Luckily, Sky and I have our own rooms in his apartment.

He knows how important it is to me to spend much time with him. I look up to him, he's my role model. "Now that I'm feeling better again.. We have to talk about some rules", Saul smiles and sits down at the end of my bed.

"Hm?", I mumble tired, "What rules?" "You and Riven, it's not going to happen. I'm not as uninformed as you think." "It won't, I promise", I nod and he says good night to me.

Before I can even think about his words, I watch Beatrix's video on social media. That's not the Riven that I know. I fall asleep knowing that Saul is safe but also with the thought of having lost my best friend. Luckily, my family's strong.

"Where have you been yesterday?", Aisha asks me as I join the girls in Dowling's office for breakfast. "I've slept in my room in Saul's apartment", I tell them and smile as I remember that he's finally feeling better.

"He cares about you a lot", Bloom states and smiles at me. "Sky and I mean everything to him", I nod. "Hey, do you know anything about Dane and Riven? What is going on with them and Beatrix?", Terra asks nervously, "I mean Riven and you.. you used to be together."

"I know what it seemed like yesterday and Dane probably enjoyed it, but that's not him, Terra. He's innocent and insecure and Riven's making use of it. Don't worry about him", I smile back at her knowing that this is what's been haunting her the whole night.

I've seen their video as well and I can't say that it didn't hurt me when I saw Riven kissing Beatrix, especially as it's the moment in which I thought Silva would die. Speacking of which, I have to thank Sam. He's helped me a lot. But before, I have to help Stella. "Guys, I have help Stella. I'll see you later."

"It's only one day, Stella", Sky states as we stand in front of the school waiting for Stella's mom. "Just half a day." "Half a day on which she's being admired by all the people as if she was the sun itself." "Well, she's the queen of the light."

"Even queens can be idiots", I shrug and Sky gives me a serious look saying that I should take care of what I say in front of the queen. "The assembly is just an excuse to check how I'm progressing."

"Maybe she'll be nicer when the girls are around you. Bloom could need a distraction." "Why would I need them? I've got you two", she looks at us, "It's fine, I'll talk to you later." "Send me a message." "You'll make this, Stel. You're great", I assure her and give her a quick hug.

Not wanting to watch Luna being admired, I skip the assembly and go to the specialist's barn to be far away from everyone else. "Great, you're here as well. Both siblings can yell at me now", Riven exclaims as I cross his and Sky's way.

"Seriously, you're running away from me?", Sky calls for him and I furl my eyebrows. What's happened? "Don't act like you're more important than you are", I shrug in front of Riven, "I won't yell at you."

"Sure, why don't you both tell me what an asshole I am", he replies sarcastically standing in front of Sky and I, "Please, send me a message with all the bad things I've done." "Yeah, you are, always have been. But ever since you-"

"Since I what? Go on, tell me!", Riven snaps at Sky coming closer, "Come on. I'm already excited." "Great fine. Your asshole-level drastically increased since you've been macking on Beatrix!", Sky exclaims and I swallow and look to the ground, "It's not like you've begged me to let you be with my sister and now you're doing this. You're hurting the people who care about you."

"You've got no idea", Riven whispers to Sky but he looks at me. "Are you taking anything seriously for once, Riven?" "Yeah, I am, Sky! I like you, Scar, always have. But Beatrix is the only one in this school who doesn't try to change me."

"What are you trying to say?", I speak up now and look at him angrily, "Haven't Sky and I always defended you when you've done shit? When you've hurt people? Weren't we always the ones who took the blame for you! Wasn't I always the one you came up to with any worry?"

"I know exactly that you think you're someone better. But why do you always make me see it? You're the one who's still got a girlfriend, Sky. As long as you're going out with princess, you should stop stalking the new kid", Riven reproaches Sky. "It's not like that, Riv."

"Oh, are you sure? Everyone else thinks like me including Stella and Scar. Ask your sister. And honestly? That's probably the reason why Stella told me that Bloom is a changeling." Riven turns to me before leaving.

"And you've dumped me for this god damn earth fairy. Is it soft side or the fact that you're both teacher's kids or the memories from growing up here?" "How do you know about Sam?", I whisper wondering since when and how he found out. It also hurts to hear him say these words. It's not been like that.

"You were hiding at the same spots that we used to hide at. Pretty obvious to me, Scar. But I've shut my mouth about it. For once in a time it's not me breaking hearts. You messed with my head and then with my heart, princess Scar."
