United As One ~ A Beeyani Fanfiction

Chapter Ten

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of the Minecraft Survival Games... just kidding.

I am literally really exhausted and hot right now after two straight days of testing (and being outside with my friends for the two hours afterward and I'm probably sunburned at this point), but I knew I promised you guys a chapter, so here it is.

BEE’S POV

I hoped this was going to work.

I sat slumped in my chair, headphones over my ears, drumming my fingers on the table beside me, watching the screen idly. Jordan should have talked to Grape and Jon a few hours ago, and if all went to plan, I’d be talking to Dul in just a few minutes. I couldn’t help going over all the ways it could go wrong in my head, and thus I was attempting to think over what I was going to say, but it just wasn’t forming. I wished Jordan was here with me.

A small ding told me that Dul had logged onto Skype. I hesitated, then clicked the Call button.

After a few short seconds, she picked up. Her face was rubbed raw and red, as if she’d been crying a long time, and her hair was a mess. She appeared utterly depressed. 

“Hey, Dul,” I began carefully.

“Hey, Bee,” she answered tiredly. “What did you need to talk to me about?” She looked as if she’d rather be anywhere else, which made me feel awful, but Jordan’s voice kept echoing in my head. We need them, Bee, or this isn’t going to work, no matter how hard we try.

I blinked slowly. “I needed to ask you something, actually.”

“Shoot.”

“Are you mad at me?”

For a few heartbeats Dul seemed simply dumbfounded. Then she chuckled; the first positive thing I’ve seen out of her so far. “Why would I be mad at you?”

I blushed. “Well, it’s kind of Jordan and I’s fault that the whole thing happened…” I locked my fingers together in my lap.

Dul shook her head. “Bee, it’s not you or Bayani’s fault. All you wanted to do was tell us something, and I never heard either of you participate in the arguing.” A short pause. “What was it you had to tell us anyways?”

What harm could it do to tell her now? I thought. “Jordan and I are dating.”

The affect these words had on her was instantaneous. Her face lit up and she smiled hugely. “Really? Congratulations! So he finally told you?”

“Wait, what?” I questioned, glancing at her suspiciously. “You knew?”

She laughed. “Yes, I knew! That’s why Bayani was in the teamspeak with Grape and I the other day; he was asking us for advice.”

I know how it must look to you, but I can promise you with all my heart that he does not hate you, Bee. You have to trust me. Former words of Dul’s formed in my head. I smiled for the first time in days. “And you didn’t tell me?! I might’ve had the courage to make the first move if you had!”

Dul’s face fell a little. “It was Bayani’s feelings, Bee. It wasn’t my place to tell, sorry.”

I sensed the mood deteriorating, so I quickly reverted back on topic. “So the other thing I actually wanted to ask/tell you is that Jordan and I have a plan to try to get the group back together, and we need your help.”

“My help?” she repeated, sounding shocked.

“Yep. Jordan should’ve talked to Grape and Jon a few hours back and tried to convince them of the same. I haven’t heard back from him yet, but we need as many of us as possible to have the greatest chance of convincing people like Graser, TYBZI, and Tomahawk.” She winced when I said Tomahawk, but I barely noticed. “Do you think you can help us?”

She hesitated, biting her lip. I resorted to begging. “Please, Dul,” I pleaded. “We need you. I need you.”

At this she sighed. “Alright. I’ll join you guys.” Her head snapped up and her eyes met mine. “What do you need me to do?”

I returned her gaze steadily. “Just a few small things for now…”

Maybe this wasn’t such a bad idea after all.
