Starcrossed

Mansion - day 3.1

#Lots of drama coming!#

~ Aquarius

I got out of bed and rubbed my eyes. I'm hungry... I quietly walked down the stairs and was surprised to see Libra already there, staring at his cereal. He was very pale and had bags under his eyes. 'Um, Libra?' I carefully put my hand on his shoulder. He jumped, but calmed down when he saw it was me. 'Oh, hey Aqua...' he stammered. 'Are you okay?' I asked, he didn't look well. 'Y-yeah' he nodded, just then, he closed his eyes and he fell asleep in his cereal bowl. 'Libra! What's wrong? You must go back to bed' I said as soon as he stood up and dried his head.

He nodded and let me guide him to his room, he instantly fell asleep. I shook my head and closed the door as I left. When I turned around, Cancer stood behind me. 'What's wrong?' she asked me with worried eyes. 'Libra, he's not feeling well' I answered. 'What happened?' 'He fell asleep in his cereal bowl, I think he didn't have enough sleep' she seemed to think about something, and walked downstairs, I followed her. She broke a few eggs in a bowl and started mixing them. 'Can you tell the others breakfast is ready in half an hour?' she asked me, I nodded and went to wake the others.

~ Cancer

I flipped the omelette and added bacon. There's something wrong with Libra, he always brags about him never falling ill. He also didn't get much sleep... I think I'm going to visit him this afternoon, maybe I can find out if it's really about being ill. 'AQUARIUS! WHERE ARE YOU?!' I shrieked when I heard someone shout angrily from upstairs. Someone tapped me on the shoulder, and when I turned around, I had to stifle a laugh.

A soaking wet Scorpio stood in front of me, his eyes flaming with fury. 'What happened?' I asked, pretending to be shocked. 'Aquarius, that's what happened! He threw a bucket of water on me to "wake me up." I swear if I find him I'll-' he ranted, but I cut him off. 'You better get changed, or you'll get a cold' I calmly said, still trying very hard not to laugh.

'I don't care! I will find him, and I will kill him' he mumbled, and ran off. I rolled my eyes. Boys...
Virgo and Taurus came downstairs, chatting, Virgo walking very carefully with her injured leg. 'Good morning girls!' I greeted them. 'Hey Canc! Smells delicious!' Virgo replied. 'We'll set the table' Taurus added, and gave Virgo the plates. Slowly, everyone came downstairs, some dressed and awake, others with messy hair and in their pj's.

After a while, Scorpio and Aqua also joined. Scorpio wore clean clothes, but he was still throwing angry looks at Aqua, who cautiously avoided Scorpio's gaze.

Scorpio wore a grey T-shirt, which looked way better on him than his usual black sweater, mainly because you could see his slightly toned arms... I blushed when I handed him a plate with his omelette, he managed to give me a little smile, which I appreciated because I knew he rarely did so. I decided to sneak away with an omelette for Libra while the others were eating. I quietly stepped into his dark room, he was fast asleep. I carefully shook him awake, he had to eat something. 'Libra, I've got food for you' I whispered, he opened his eyes.

'Listen, I don't know if I can keep lying' he stammered, still sleeping. Lying? About what?! Whatever it was, it was enough for Libra to be up all night. He doesn't handle secrets very well, especially when he doesn't know if he should keep it a secret. I still didn't say anything, just put the plate on his nightstand and left. What was that about? This isn't right...

But I didn't turn around to ask him. I just walked downstairs, trying not to be noticed. Why is it that everyone always has to keep secrets from me? Am I not a close enough friend to them? Tears welled up in my eyes, I ignored them. I made a beeline for the kitchen, my back towards the others. 'Cancer, come sit down!' Gem invited me, I just shook my head and started cleaning.

'I'll help you' Pisces said and put the frying pan in the sink. I tried to shake my hair in front of my face until the tears were unnoticeable. At least, that's what I thought. I saw the flash of worry in Pisces' eyes, but she quickly hid it. I ate at the kitchen counter, still covering my face with my hair. I could feel the stares. 'Um, Canc, are you-' Scorpio began, I cut him off. '-I'm fine'. WHY?! Why did I just snap at him? Now it's obvious to everyone that I'm far from fine.

I just quickly ate my egg and smiled while picking up my plate and putting it in the sink. They looked at me like I'd gone mad.

'Hey guys, I have an idea!' Sag exclaimed, I listened while cleaning with my back towards them. 'Leo and I found this lake when we went to the woods yesterday, how 'bout we all go check it out?' Everyone responded positively, I smiled. I could use a walk in the woods. I turned around, Gem and Aries were kissing, Taurus was going upstairs to check on Libra. Cap was stroking Virgo's bandage while pecking her cheek and Leo and Sag were throwing flirty looks back and forth. Aqua was gone, and Pisces was talking to Scorpio. Such sweet couples. Too bad Scorpio doesn't know I exist. He only looks at my beautiful friend, Pisces. I can't blame him.
They were talking in a serious tone, Pisces looked guilty, Scorpio's expression was blank.

We all went so Sag and Leo could show us the lake they found yesterday, only Virgo, Pisces and of course Libra stayed home.
