Glassheart: Auradon Taken Over

Part 36 - Lingering Anger

Red pov:

Chloe had left the room after I laid back down in my bed. I wasn't facing her, but I heard the door shut. I got up and grabbed the rabbit I threw. I gave it a hug before putting it back on my bed. I spent the rest of the evening just avoiding Chloe. I really did not want to deal with her right now. I ate at my table alone while she sat down at someone else table. It's like my anger was just simmering all day. That night, when she came into the room almost at bedtime, I had already fallen asleep.

Chloe pov:

I went to a shop after supper and bought a few sweet gifts for Red. I know Evie said to stay away, but I don't want Red to think I stopped liking her. I know I'm not in the wrong.... I just wish Red could also believe me. I mean, I completely understand why she doesn't, but that is what love is all about. To learn about each other and to grow our trust in each other. I will not be the one to give up so easily. I got a few gift bags, and when I snuck back I to our room, I saw Red already asleep in her bed facing away from me. I walk to her bed quickly, placing down the gifts on her nightstand. I then changed into sleeping clothes and sat on my bed, glacing at Red. The stuffed rabbit that was on the floor next to my bed was now being held in her arms. Just seeing that gave me hope. Maybe she doesn't completely hate me. I hope she can like my gifts, it's not too much anything special but I hope it can may e brighten up her mood tomorrow. I laid down and fell asleep feeling even just a little more reassured.

Red pov:

I woke up with the sun hitting me right in the face. I hate that. After tossing and turning, I finally sat up where the sun no longer was in my face. I turn my head to see stuff on my nightstand. I moved closer to the edge, where I let my feet dangle as I reached out to grab a small doll. It was a doll that's looked just like my mom. How did she even get this? Why is there even a doll of my mom period. I saw Chloe get out of the bathroom. I st99d up.

Red: So, are you bribing me now? Is this what you're doing to try and save you from your excuses?

Chloe: No, I got you those because I won't be the one to give up so easily on something I believe in. I love to give gifts to those I care about. I'm not going to stop just because of some small argument between us. I simply did it because it's what I wanted to do.

Chloe then walks off out of the room. I then turn back to the table to notice a vase with 1 rose and some chocolate. I read the label on the chocolate, and it said it was dark chocolate with 70% on it. What does that even mean? I opened it and took a small square piece, and took a bite. That tasted really good, very rich. And I thought regular chocolate was really good, but this is amazing. I then wrapped up the rest of the bar and brought tit with me to school. I wasn't too sure how to feel about what Chloe said earlier, but I decided to still keep my distance from her. I am still not sure if I can believe what she says. She lied to me before, who's to say she isn't again. I feel like my brain wants to be angry at her, but my heart still wants to be around her. She's the only one who's treated me differently since either got here. She's the only one who treated me like a human and not a ruler or dictator. I tried to brush the feelings as much as possible all day. Every class today felt like they lasted forever, and at lunch, I ate alone again at my table as I could see a few of the students clearly talking about me. I just ignored them and headed to my afternoon classes.

Chloe pov:

All day, Red hasn't said a word to me. During class, she just looked bored, but at lunch, while at my table with others, I noticed she was eating the dark chocolate I had given her. It made me smile, knowing she liked it. It might be a small denial most people wouldn't think twice about, but to me, it means that I still have a chance. After lunch before class, the bullies ran I to me, but it didn't hurt me this time. I just quickly made it to class before they changed their minds. After glass, I had fencing. I made my way there like normal and played for the 30 minutes the after-school activity lasted. After it I didn't want to stop playing, so I asked another person from the club if they wanted to stay a little longer. They agreed, so we took a short break and then continued to play for 15 more minutes. Mid match the bullies walked in and demanded the other fencer to leave.

Red pov:

It was after school, and I was bored in my room flicking around my cards aimlessly. I noticed Chloe hasn't come back from her fencing like she normally would be by now. I then decided to go on a walk on the roof. I got out of the balcony and jumped up to the roof. I walked around a little looking at the garden where I could see students studying. After walking a little longer, I saw the Turney field where boys were doing their practice. I kept walking on the roof around the wchool Wil I noticed the fencing club building, I saw a few students outside all grouped up together. I then walked closer to the roofs edge, taking a closer look to realize it was Chloe being beaten up by seniors. My gosh, Chloe wasn't making up a story. She was telling the truth about the bullies. I took out my cards and flung them right at the vks as the card hit them one by one before the cards fell on the ground, summoning guard grabbing the vks. I could see Chloe lying on the ground, looking up, noticing me in the roof. I grab another card and flung It beside me as it summons a hover board of sorts. I got on it and flew all the way down to Chloe. I got off the hover board and helped Chloe up.

Chloe: What were you doing on the roof? You know that not safe.

Red: Chloe, stop worrying about my safety for 1 second.

I then walked over to the vks who were being held by my guards.

Rdd: What did I say about hurting students? You don't seem to care about orders given. My mother told me to punish those who disobey me. Here's a little punishment for you all.

I then walked up to all of them and slapped them all across the face one by one.

Red: That was actually pretty fun. I then slapped the leader once more.

Red: You are now suspended for the next 3 weeks. If you come back and bully another student, I won't hesitate to expel you all.

I them snapped my fingers as the guards dragged them inside to detention.

I turn back to Chloe.

Red: You weren't actually lying. I see....... I'm sorry for being angry at you.

Chloe: Thank you for saving me, I'm sorry, what's your name?

Red: What? You know my name. Why are you asking that?

Chloe: I'm sorry. I believe we have never ever met. I'm Chloe Charming from Cinderellasburg.

Red: Chloe, you know me. We are literally roommates.

Chloe: ooh fun, I have a roommate? I hope she's nice.

What is wrong with this girl? Why doesn't she know who I am? I took a closer look, and she looked normal. She then waved before walking away.

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoy.

The curse is that she doesn't remember who red is. I hope it was obvious, but here you go, just in case. The curse is called the shadowed lover. I got it from Chatgpt.
