❝YEUN MAN'S HAPPY AND I'M HAPPY.❞

Only a few weeks after the proposal, Athena and Abigail were in a taxi as they headed to Lauren's house for a "girl's day". The brunette was sat in the back of the taxi while the bubbly blonde was sat in the front, next to the taxi driver who seemed trust-worthy and friendly enough.

Athena's eyes were locked on the outside world which hastily raced past, barely giving the female any time to admire the beautiful scenery. The female could only make out the flickers of green, brown, blue and yellow as the taxi darted down the roads.

"Honestly, we haven't had a girl's day out in forever. I'm going to die from lack of girl time!" Abigail moaned dramatically, causing the brunette to roll her eyes and let out a small laugh.

"We had a girl's day last week, Abi. You're not going to die." Athena informed her, grabbing her phone from her pocket and checking different types of social media for any notifications.

"Last week was too long ago!" The blonde cried out before she tilted her head back to face the brunette with a serious look plastered across her face, "Anyways, speaking of last week, how's the engaged life?"

Athena lifted her head up from her phone and grinned at the blonde, "It's exactly the same as it was when we were dating, but a lot more committed. Yeun Man's happy and I'm happy, so that's all that matters."

Excitement spread through Abigail's face and Athena had to restrain the small groan that wanted to escape her throat, knowing that her best friend was about to go on a small rant about Athena's and Steven's relationship, seeing as she was the captain of the ship.

"I swear to God, Athena, if I am not the maid of honour I will crush all the scones that you have with my bare hands." Abigail began, and Athena shook her head while chuckling, "I mean it! I am your best friend so if I am not the maid of honour then I will crush all of your precious scones and never take you out for Starbucks again!"

Letting out a large gasp, Athena glanced up at her best friend with shock, "You wouldn't dare."

"Oh, I would."

"But, how could you take away my Starbucks?! It's Starbucks! That would just be cruel!" Athena cried out, knowing that she couldn't live without Starbucks – it was what kept her alive, along with her heart and all of those non-important things... obviously.

The blonde shook her head and decided to mimic what her best friend had said earlier, "You're not going to die."

The brunette still had a jokingly stubborn frown on her face, but a few seconds later, the pair burst out into boisterous laughter that filled up the entire taxi. No matter where the pair was or what they were doing, their presence would simply make each other laugh.

Once the two had calmed down, Athena decided to speak up with a serious expression plastered across her face, though a smile was still wormed on her lips, "Of course you can be the maid of honour."

At that, Abigail let out a small squeal and waved her arms around crazily, before taking her phone out and selecting the camera button, "I don't care what you say, we're taking a selfie to commemorate this."

"Whatever you say, Queen Abi." Athena joked, before putting on a large smile for the camera.

"Shit!" Abigail muttered as her phone slid out of her hands, falling somewhere on the floor of the taxi, causing her to unbuckle her seatbelt to look for it.

"Have you go-." The brunette began, before she heard a large horn blaring in her ears, causing her to lift her head to lay her eyes on a car approaching them at full speed, a boisterous screech leaving her throat at the sight.

But it was too late to warn anybody.

The glass windows had completely shattered, causing the flying glass shards to slice Athena as another weak screech left her throat. The taxi tumbled over and over until it was on what Athena presumed to be the taxi's back (though she couldn't exactly be sure of that) before the vehicle came to an absolute stop. The taxi had flipped so many times that the brunette had become disorientated before she had even sustained the concussion which had her drifting in and out of consciousness every few seconds. However, the silence that filled the taxi frightened the female more than the actual pain that was coursing through her body. All that ran through her thoughts was, "Shouldn't Abi be moaning or calling out?"

She was extremely aware of the cold, metallic and bloody taste which filled her mouth but she couldn't figure out what it was. Fear and adrenaline pulsed through her veins, and she wondered if she was going to be alive after this. Her bones, muscles, joints and organs felt as though they were being crumbled and smashed into a tiny box which even contortionists wouldn't be able to fit into. The world must've kept flicking its figurative light switch because her vision kept flashing from bitter darkness to blinding white light, while the only sound that filled her ears was the crushing of glass mixed with the distinct crackles of everyone's bones.

However, before she could question anymore, a blanket of darkness took over her vision.

[21.04.17]

NOTE: and that's what leads us to the sequel, which i have now decided a name for. the sequel is called "nebulous" and will be out hopefully within a few days. i will post a chapter alerting everybody when it is out so y'all can go and read it.

nebulous will be much, much, much darker than scintilla, and will include a lot more reality chapters. however, it will still have social media chapters.

once again, thank you so much for supporting me and this story and i simply can't describe how thankful i am that i have such amazing fans. i can't believe we have reached 6k views already! you are all so amazing and wonderful and i wish i could hug each and every one of you (even though you'd probably stick a knife in me after this chapter) for the last time, i love each and every one of you so, so, so damn much!
