Chapter 7: Bitter Sweet

It's been almost two weeks, two weeks of silence. By silence, it meant that ever since their day together, Jaune kept looking at his scroll, waiting for a new message from a new friend he made. He sent several, not all together in a bulk but from time to time, carefully making sure that he wasn't trying to appear clingy. However Jaune felt hurt for a bit, even tried to laugh if off thinking that this was another one of Neo's pranks again, but it wasn't. He felt ignored, not like Weiss ignored with all of Jaune's flirting attempts, but ignored as in having nothing to do with someone. What was hurting for a bit turned to something much more severe. His heart just felt crushed, he thought he finally was able to be friends with Neo, help her change the way she lived her life. He let out a long sigh, as he sat on the side of his bed, looking hopelessly at the floor. Jaune felt someone put a hand on his shoulder, it was Ren, the only other person that was present in the bedroom.

"Jaune, are you okay? What's on your mind, is it Neo?" Ren asked as a worried expression replaced his usual calm one. Jaune looked at him, but Ren was quick to the draw as he followed up with his question, "If you don't want to talk about it, its fine. Just remember, I'm here for you Jaune, as a friend." Ren gave a small smile to reassure the depressed Jaune.

"Thanks Ren, I appreciate it but it's just Neo. It's been two weeks since we hung out, but after that day, I haven't heard from her nor saw her around Vale. I sent her messages every day to start a conversation with her but no responses to any of them. I feel like I'm being ignored even after all those funny talks and that great day we had with each other. It just...hurts ya know? Am I just weird or show that I'm too clingy to people I just met? What if that's the reason she is ignoring me? Being too clingy...I just care about her, not like that but as a friend." Jaune took another sigh as he still focused his gaze on the floor. Ren looked at Jaune with his usual calm expression and took everything Jaune said to thought, making sure to find the right words to tell him.

"I'm pretty sure you aren't that clingy Jaune, otherwise you would've noticed me, Nora, Pyrrha and everyone from team RWBY avoiding you." He let out a small smile trying to signify it as a joke. Jaune stared at him with sad eyes, waiting for what Ren was about to say next. "However, I do not think that may be the case here. Pretty sure this is all a misunderstanding and you overthinking things. If she really enjoyed those times with you, especially from what we saw, I doubt she would just ignore you like that. She seems to have taken a liking to you. That I can tell already. But have you ever wondered what she does for a living? Don't you think she's busy with work? Because I assure you, the clothes she wears are anything far from being the normal quality of clothes one would get from a normal clothing store. What I'm trying to imply is that, maybe she hasn't been responding for the past few weeks due to her job. I know even being a Huntsman and Huntress, our job can be very overwhelming later on in the future. Just remember that thought and don't put yourself down so much, I assure you that she will respond soon." Ren gave a pat on Jaune's shoulder as another small smile appeared.

"Thanks again Ren. I actually feel a lot better from this talk. Maybe you're right, I never actually thought about what she does for a living. Actually..." Jaune tilted his head and pinched the tip of his chin, pondering on this thought, "I don't know what she does at all." Jaune thought about it a bit more as he shook his head. "Eh whatever, I'll ask about it later whenever she responds. Want to go get some food? I'm pretty hungry." An audible stomach grumble was heard throughout the room. Jaune smiled and patted the back of his head. Ren just laughed a little as he nodded an affirmative to get food.

...

Fuck, this is hell. Those words echoed in her head as she rested on her bed. Across the spacious room, more like a luxurious penthouse, articles of the usual attire were scattered across all over the floor and on furniture. A small girl in a large bed were in the covers, wearing a white and pink shirt with brown shorts. It was Neo. Dying on the bed, as she was having the worst time of her life.
