Reclaim The Night [SHORT STORY]

It's a...suicide?

Herlin's POV:

"And..." Calypso said while spinning the bottle, and waited impatiently for it to land on someone.

"It's...Me and Vienna" she said, as the bottle pointed towards her and the person sitting opposite to her, Vienna.

Vienna put on a smirk. I bet she was happy that she gets to ask the next truth or dare.

Here we are, sitting together in a circle at my house, playing games and eating as we want to idle off the weekend.

It has become a ritual for us to meet at the weekend and spend some time together. Works each time to refresh us for the next week.

"So...truth or dare?" Vienna asked Calypso without breaking the smirk on her face.

"Truth, obviously" Calypso said.

"Hey you can't take truth three times in a row" Eris immediately said.

"Oh- it's my third time?" Calypso asked.

"It is" Leia said, smiling slightly.

"So...dare it is, right Calypso?" Vienna said.

Calypso's silence made the sound of Kai chewing some really crispy chips more noticeable.

"Yeah, dare" Calypso said rolling her eyes.

Vienna breathed in and said, "I dare you to...come over at my house tomorrow"

"Whattt?" Atlas was shook.

"Vienna, seriously?" Kai said with a mouth full of chips, "you had so much more dares and you just invited her to your house?"

"Ahh I couldn't think of anything else" Vienna laughed.

"Sure I will" Calypso said.

"Of course you will, she's your ba-"

"Best friend" Calypso stopped Atlas before he could finish his sentence.

I bet he wanted to say "Baby girl".

Because these two really are. Calypso would've flirted with Vienna if her (C) boyfriend wasn't in the game.

And...her boyfriend appears to be my brother as well. She loves her more than I do-

Calypso might be anything, but she's the greatest friend I've ever had. She's a shoulder for me to cry on. I can't even hide anything from her. She's my favourite.

"Herlin and Atlas!" My thoughts were abruptly interrupted at Calypso screaming our names.

That's when I noticed the bottle facing towards me, and the person infront of me was Atlas.

Atlas is Calypso's ex, but they managed to save their friendship. No one could tell they were ever something more than friends. He's now a good friend of us but honestly, I'm not sure if Atlas thinks the same way about us as we do about him.

"I take...truth" I said.

"Ask her a good question dude" Kai told him.

"Hmm...what's your least favourite emotion?" Atlas asked an appropriate question.

"Least favourite emotion? Probably..." I said after some brainstorming, "Happiness"

I knew my answer would make them confused.
