Glassheart (Red x Chloe) Book 3

Chapter 8

The week dragged on. But it was finally Friday, which means, it was finally time for James and Bridget's date. Chloe and Crimson help her with her hair and make up while Red and Cree pace back and forth. "Would you two stop? You're gonna dig a trench in the middle of her room." Chloe tells them. When neither of them stopped, the two of them stood up. Chloe places her hands on Red's shoulders before she kisses her, snapping her out of her thoughts. Red responds immediately, even following her lips after Chloe pulls away. "Please stop, you're giving me a migraine." She tells her wife. Red sighs and nods. "You're right." Meanwhile, the twins interaction was anything but sweet like their mothers'. Crimson slaps her brother across the face. "Ow!" He holds his cheek as he stares at her. "What was that for?!" He asks. "You're digging a hole to the center of the Earth. I had to knock you out of it someway." She shrugs. "And you didn't think a simple nudge or tap on my arm would have done it?" He stares at her. "Well, where's the fun in that?" She asks as Red tries not to laugh. Chloe smacks her arm.  "Ow!" "Don't encourage her!"

"Sorry." She mumbles before giving her wife a kiss. "I'm just getting worried about this date. She's been gone for hours! And it's almost curfew! You don't think something happened, do you?" Red bites her lip. "If something happened, i think out of all of us, you would be the first one to know, Red. They're your parents." Red shrugs. "I guess you're right. They're Harry's parents too, and he's the oldest, I'm pretty sure he would be the first one to know. You know? First in, first out?" Chloe groans. "Red...." "What? I'm nervous! I make jokes when I'm nervous! And technically he's my half-brother. I have no idea who his mother is." The door suddenly opens and in comes Bridget with a smile on her face. "Oh hey guys! I didn't know you waited up for me!" "Of course we waited up for you! How was your date?" Chloe smiles. Bridget sighs. "It was....magical." she giggles. "He took me for a walk along the enchanted lake and then he had a small boat that he took us out on the water and we just laid under the stars, talking. He said he doesn't want to be a part of Uliana's gang anymore but he doesn't know how to leave it. He's worried there might be repercussions if he did." The four of them all glance at each other.

"Anyways, he just walked me back to the dorm and kissed me on the cheek. He said he doesn't kiss on the first date, so he kissed my cheek." Bridget blushes. If this was her father, the sweet, kind, gentleman that her mom fell in love with, then what happened to turn him into....the man that he was? The man that abused her mother? The man that killed himself to escape the repercussions of his actions? What happened that caused James such inner turmoil that he took his own life? "Well, we'll let you get ready for bed. See you tomorrow?" Crimson asks. "Yeah, totally!" Bridget smiles and nods. They all leave and head back to their dorms, the twins stop before they split from their mothers. On the other side of the Enchanted lake, the VK's were chatting when James walks in. "Well well, look who finally decided to grace us with his presence?" Uliana smirks. "Where were you?" "I was out." "Oh? Out with who?" "I was just out, ok?" James sits on a tree trunk. "Well, the dance went off without a hitch. Unfortunately. And come to my surprise when i saw you out with Bridget earlier tonight. What was that about?" James sighs. "I told her about your plan. That you were gonna turn her into a monster and then we all got detention and failed to get the cookbook." Uliana nods. "And where is that cookbook?" James shrugs. "How the bloody hell should i know?" "Well, those two did take that cookbook from me that night, maybe they hid it. Find it. Unless you something to happen to your precious girlfriend?" Uliana smirks. "Like what? And what were you planning on doing with it anyways? It's enchanted. Remember the last time we tried to open it? We all froze." James asks. "Well, there's that poor girl." He shakes his head. "Charming would never let you anywhere near her. Nice try though." Uliana thinks for a moment. "You know what?" One of her tentacles wraps around his shoulder. "I think....i know just the person to do it. Unless you want something to happen to your precious pink girlfriend." Uliana smirks as James stares at her. "You wouldn't dare." "Try me."
