Let's Play

A soldier

"Make him come back" I cry as Abraham forces to take me home.

"He is not coming back get up! We have to go home come on" he pulls my hand but I don't get up.

"I don't want to go home I want Zealot to believe me leave me alone!"

"Zealot went home Nancy! It's pointless sitting in here walk if you don't want to be thrown into some mental institution"

"No! This isn't just why would I accuse Cill of something and risk my life? He tried to rape me I am NOT LYING!! Make Zealot see the truth"

"Nancy I can't do this anymore! You are acting childish again I can't put up with your problems walk! I mean it or I swear I will make mom take you to some psychopath hospital!"

"I don't care about you or him I don't care about the people I lose for this I will ask the shelter of the police if I have to for this even if it mean I have to defy you all!!"

"Stop it!" He barks

"I am not going anywhere Abraham I need Zealot to believe me" He sits beside me, rubbing his face roughly on his hands "Look, sitting here won't bring him back lets go home and think this through and later, by any luck I might convince him to get back to you and things will be well and good ok? Let's go. Mother will worry if we return home late you want to have some Ice-cream on the way? I won't tell mother don't worry"

"I am not lying I swear Abraham" I say, rubbing the bottom of my nose on my sleeve my face feels hot and I feel sleepy again "How do you plan on doing that?"

"I don't know that of course but I hope I can convince him and things are well and good again can we go now?" He asks rather polietly.

"I guess so you promise?"

"I promise"

...

I walk to school with Abraham next morning feeling a little satisfied about the promises that he gave me last night about charming Zealot to come back to me I smile shortly at Zealot who ignores me completely I avoid his friends and march back to my class alone hoping Abraham helps me get him back.

"Hi" Someone tells me from behind and I give myself a ninja turn expecting it to be Cill.

Conoor smiles his cheekbones sharp and slim "How are you?" he asks

"Satisfied?" I ask rudely

"About?" He asks rather shockingly

"I know you hate me and I am sure you are glad to see him and me apart, FINALLY!"

"What do you mean? Besides, I don't hate anyone all I came to ask is for you to do me a favor"

"And what makes you say that I will?" I ask.

"You will, because you benefit from it too"

"Yeah? What is it?

"I want you to help me split Zealot and Alivia?"

"I am sorry?!" I say expecting it to be a lie.

"Zealot and Alivia" He repeats "What are you, deaf or something?"

"Alivia? I thought Arlene loves him! I mean,-

-Who the bloody hell is Arlene?!"

"When did these two go out? When did this happen?!"

"Ummm, they are dating for a month now I guess"

"A MONTH?!" I exclaim.

"Don't look so shocked, we all knew it I thought you did too"
