Tsubaki And Vhynn's Story

Chapter 9

I stood there, shocked that she turned him down.

I want to say I disagree with her, but I can't. I don't, she's right. He took too long to realize he's in love with her, she's known since the day she saw him, but him. He stalled, he was unsure. It took a kiss he always thought he wanted to realize he was in love with her.

She's right, it's too little too late.

Nick seemed to crumble, not even crying.

"I understand" he stood, blank eyed as he walked away. I tried to grab his wrist tell him it would be okay, but he walked past not even reacting as my fingers brushed his wrists.

"Nick?" I asked, worried for him.

Vhynn touched my wrist, looking at me "let him go"

"April" I said, as she tears rolled down her face, yet her face remained emotionless. I understood now, why she did that.

"You did the right thing" I said, feeling her pain. I would have never been able to do what she just did; she may not look like it. But April has a heart if steel that makes her strong.

More tears rolled down her cheeks as she hiccupped softly, going on like nothing was wrong.

"Mom and Dad left already, huh?" she asked, but I could tell she already knew.

"they told me a little before I got sick that they would have to be leaving soon due to some things." she sighed, I hugged her close.

"Are you gonna be okay?" she nodded her head as more tears fell.

I left briefly to check on Star & Angel.

When I entered the room I felt as though I needed to shield my eyes. I walked in to find Star leaning over Angel, theirs lips locked in an intimate kiss as I coughed loudly, and not to my surprise, I failed to catch their attention.

"What did I say about No Hanky-Panky" Star jerked up when she heard me.

"Sorry TsuTsu, we were just-uh...."

she stuttered.

"-practicing CPR" finished Angel with a wink.

I gave Star a look that said we need to talk; she followed me outside, smiling happily. I could have sworn that she was glowing!!!

"So what exactly happened while I was gone?" I asked, I had only been gone for a few hours.

"Well, while you were gone... I accidentally let it slip about how worried I was, and then He asked why and one thing led to another... Then we started kissing, and wow can that boy kiss!!!!" I sighed, shaking my head at her.

"There's Evidence of how good he is at kissing..." I said, as I pointed to her bright red face, and her slightly purple mark on her neck "even me and Vhynn didn't make it that far, though we did come close" I finished quietly looking down as my face turned red.

"No way!!!! Tell me, right now!!!!"

"After you finish up with that boy toy of yours, try to remember... He's still recovering" I winked at her playfully as I left.

I walked home by myself, a little scared but luckily made it home safely. I made a couple batches of fried noodles and boxed them up. I put it in my favorite light purple back pack and trekked back to the hospital, but suddenly I felt a warm arm grab me from behind my waist.
