Zodiac Story ~ The Chaos Flat

Time doesn't last...

     Libra's pov

Saturday had never been so extremely long. I'd always thought that if we were to move, it would be super fun. And it was, if you left out that I'd missed most of it because I was too busy breaking down. After all Taurus and Sag told me, I really cursed myself for freaking out that much. But, that's one thing I had to admit, Virgo was right about the Chaos after all. It changes you, a lot. But well, no matter how you put it, it seemed like I ended up being neutral, just as I predicted. I just didn't predict that Sag would be neutral too. If he actually was, that is.

'I'm telling you, I'm not on Aries' side!' Sag shouted from his spot in the back of the car. It was around 4 a.m., and somehow, we managed to get all of our stuff packed again in just a couple of hours. Dad had sent most of our furniture off to our old house already, and surprisingly enough, it didn't seem like any of the others noticed us leave.

'Well, I definitely am on Aries' side,' Taurus muttered, sitting in front of me and Sag. 'Does this stuff really matter?' dad sighed, steering the car into another street. 'It does, dad! I missed out on most of this, I really want to know everything that happened,' I said stubbornly, but the conversation had ended. Sag leaned up against the window and started staring at the dark streets, Taurus leaned back in his seat and put his grumpy expression back on, and I just disappeared in my own thoughts.

Until the car stopped, and we were home again. Or well, in the place mum and dad called home.

It was weird to walk through the front door and see our old living room, with some of our furniture already back in its place. Dad walked past the three of us, a couple of boxes in his hands, while all we could do was stare at the empty room. It brought back memories; happy ones, but, unfortunately, also quite sad ones. But wasn't that what a real home was built on? Memories of different feelings, different emotions?

My mind somehow immediately gathered every single memory of what we'd been through at the Chaos Flat.

But, that was over now.

'Well,' I started, 'I guess this is it, then...'

     Taurus' pov

'This is it?' I asked, turning to my brother. 'What do you mean, this is it? We aren't just going to sit here and do nothing, right? I mean, we have to get back to the Chaos Flat! That's our real home! And if mum and dad don't understand that –'

'Let me just stop you right there,' Libra said, holding up his hands. 'If you want to get mad, then go get mad at mum and dad. They're the ones making us move, not me.' 'Fine, then,' I mumbled, and rushed to the stairs. Dad had just gone upstairs, whether it was to one of our rooms or to his own, it didn't matter. I was not going to live here again.

'Taurus!' dad said, looking up when I walked into his room. 'The moving company called again, we'll be able to move in in just three days! Isn't that great?' 'Perfect. Dad, we need to talk,' I stated and sat down on the edge of the bed. He frowned, before sitting down next to me and waiting for me to continue.

I took a deep breath, before I looked up to him. 'We have to go back.'

He frowned slightly and leaned back a little. 'Back? What do you mean, back?' 'We have to go back to the Chaos Flat,' I stated, at which he shook his head. 'The Chaos Flat? Do you mean the building we've just lived in for about two months?' 'Yes, dad,' I said, 'and we have to move back there.'

'We have to – Taurus, what are you talking about?' he asked me, and I sat up a little more straight. 'I don't want to live here. I want to live there again.'
