Saving Grace

Chapter 13

APHMAU'S POV
(If I don't say a POV at the begging of a chapter, assume it's in Aphmau's POV. Thanks! -E)

She's... Dead? And she was Phoe??

Oh god...

I was bullying one of my closest friends without even realizing it.

I feel like a monster.

I want to redo this.

I have to find Lucinda!

Maybe she knows a way to revive someone!

Or maybe I won't let her die in vain...

I have to do SOMETHING. Maybe I can meet FC somewhere, he did say that he lives in Phoenix Drop, just like me, so maybe he goes to school with me.

-----
Aph- Hey FC!

FC- What is it Shu?

Aph- Can you meet me at the front of Phoenix Drop High in an hour? I have an idea that we can use to help Phoe.

FC- Shu, she's dead. We can't do anything about it.

Aph- we can find her killer, and not let her die in vain.

FC- Fine I'll go, just so that you don't hurt yourself.

Aph- Okay! See you in an hour!

-----
1 hour later...
-----

I was walking to Phoenix Drop High's front door, to see a figure leaning against the door. The person was looking at their phone, and it looks like their texting someone. I was going to walk up to the person, but my phone went off.

-----
FC- Hey I'm here.

Aph- I just got here. Are you at the door?

FC- yeah.

Aph- I think I see you. Stay there for a second.
-----

     I slowly walked up to the person, and tapped their shoulder.

   "Ummm... Excuse me?" I said, and the person, who was a man, looked up from his phone at me.
   "Aaron? What are you doing here?" I growled. Me and him weren't on the best of terms lately. He was trying to flirt with me, even though he knows that I want Garroth, and I will not rest until he's mine.
   "I'll have you know, I'm meeting one of my ACTUALL friends." He said sassily, as he rolled his eyes, with his usual emotionless face on.
   "So am I. Hmph." I responded, as I crossed my arms, and turned away from him. I pulled out my phone from my jeans pocket, and texted FC.

-----
Aph- never mind, it wasn't you.

FC- yeah... This girl just walked up to me being sassy and all that, also looking for someone. What a coincidence.

Aph- Wait... You just saw someone, a girl, and was looking for someone?

FC- yeah. She had black hair and amber eyes.

Aph- FC, raise your right arm right now.
-----
Aaron raised his right arm in the air.
-----
Aph- FC?!?

FC- what is it?

Aph- is your real name Aaron?

FC- ...

Aph- oh god no. Oh please no.
-----
I decided to walk back up to Aaron, but I decided to address him as FC to see if Aaron was really FC.

   "FC? Is that you?" I asked, and I looked around, like I was looking for him.

Oh.

My.

God.

He raised his head, and looked in my direction. He started to walk up to me, and he grabbed my shoulder, tightly. He turned me around, and placed his other hand on my other shoulder.

   "Who are you looking for, Aph-mou?" He sneered.

   "I looking for my friend, FC. Why do you care?"

    "Because I am FC."
  
    "No. No no no no no no no no NO! YOU CANNOT BE FC! FC IS NICE AND CARING! YOU ARE MEAN AND COLD! YOU CAN'T.... You can't...." I started to tear up.

I can't believe it.

My worst enemy is actually one of my closest friends.
