Why did you change

When shay told darce about tally coming to bring them back the next morning darce couldn't help herself but to slowly grow hatred towards her cousin who had not only took the love her boyfriend once had for her for herself but now also came to destroy her freedom once more

Darce couldn't help the hatred that grew for tally everytime she saw the necklace she wore around her neck. A necklace made from the same metal her raven necklace was made off

A metal that was created by peris hands and he had given tally a heart shaped one...it hurted like hell

Croy had distracted her indeed. He had taken away every thought every doubt and every inch of pain and turned it into pleasure. One she had never felt before

And yet....he still wasnt peris and no matter how much she hated herself for loving peris she just couldn't forget the 8 years she had spent loving him

She just couldn't forget the love he had once shown her. The laughter. The happiness. The warmth. The true love he had given her....she just simply couldn't forget

And yet he seemed to have been able to do so in just a months time....and it shattered her heart every time she thought about it no matter how long ago it was

''This will be our last burn before we head back. Okay Croy your spotting. ryde your my co-pilot''David said early that morning

''I'll get started on the one-flight check''ryde said as another boy spoke''ill get some more suplies''

Darce thought they would make a cute couple as she watched them walk away while silently leaning into croy's side who wrapped his arm around her waist protectively as tally approached

''What's happening?''tally asked confused making Shay exchange a look with David as darce exchanged a look with Croy before Shay responded

''We need to light some fires in the west pass before we head home''Shay responded making tally look at David

''Wait you set the fires?''tally asked shocked

''Those orchids are toxic. They pull all the nutrients from the soil and destroy everything in their path''David replied as darce stared daggers into the necklace around her neck unable to help herself

But all hatred for tally disappeared the moment Croy interlocked their hands and rested it on her stomach somehow giving her peace despite the metal glimming in the sunlight

''No those are the clean solution to the oil that the rusties used''tally denied making David reply back to her with the truth

''That's what they want you to believe. Those flowers are turning the planet into a wasteland. Killing everything forcing everyone to live in the city. Come with us see for yourself''David suggested as darce closed her eyes for a moment jutting content breathing the fresh air in as she felt the warmth of the boy who slowly started to wiggle his way into her heart like she was wiggling into his

''Sure you want to take her up?. We dont know this girl''Croy said to David worried she would not mean any good to the save heaven that they lived in

''It'll be good for her to see the truth with her own eyes''Shay said looking at Croy before looking to darce in help

''We vouch for her right?''shay said looking at darce who soon felt multiple pairs upon her

''I vouch for no one''darce said after a moment as she walked away letting go of croy's hand in the process making tally stare at her cousin teary eyed knowing the lie she had told had messed up their friendship

If she had just said the truth.....if she had just not lied and caused darce hurt

If only
