App Trap (Book One)

Ch.3 Fate Is A Cruel And Beautiful Thing...

Next day...

Zdina P.O.V.

I feel terrible that she's the only one not allowed to leave! It would drive me insane much less depressed, knowing the fact I wouldn't be able to see my mother, father or my three brothers... Who am I kidding! It's Christmas. I'm here with the best boy! But something that Karl Heinz said to Laney has put her in a dump and she refuses to come out of her room. She does eat but its very little, and Car-kun tried keyword 'Tried' to drag her out end up biting him in the process. I need to go see her and see if I can get her back to her old self.

Macaria P.o.v.

It's been fun playing Five Nights Of Freddy's with Ayato, but I'm getting really worried about Laney. With the she can't leave and at all, yet something got her really depressed. Once I walked by her room and hear Subaru yell at her and trying to get her out of the room. Reiji is getting tired of her not show up to the monthly dinners. Zdina has been trying to convince him that she needs more time and that Laney is in shock from something that was said on the phone. I need to go check on her. I feel like she might close herself off if someone doesn't try to calm her down before it is too late.

Subaru P.O.V.

Damnit that mortal just will not come out! I know Reiji asked me to get her out of her room, but she refuses every fucking time. But it seems she lost her strength since she bit me on the arm. Part of me pitties her but the other is curious about what he said to her.

I walk into see her with her phone in hand staring at something while she had one earbud plugged in. She had a final fantasy xv t-shirt on, black skinny jeans, and legend of Zelda socks. Her hair was messy but the curl made it look to fix. Laney's gray eyes are bloodshot from crying for several days now. Her gray eyes are pretty but the rest of her was average at most.

Subaru: "Laney, what are you looking at?" Looking up slowly, she gives a gentle smile to me.

Laney: "My mother...wanna see."

Subaru:"Tch..whatever," I reply as I walk over to the bedside. sitting beside her I looked over her shoulder at the phone screen. There was a picture of Laney and a woman with curly blonde hair with hazel eyes. She looks almost like Laney's sister at first glance.

Laney: "Subaru could you show me the kitchen? I would like to cook you and the others an apology meal for being selfish and rude."

Nodding i watch her set her phone on the side table and grabbing a black rubber band to pull her hair back I escort her to the kitchen.

Once there she surveyed the kitchen before looking through the cabinets and final stopped in front of the stove. Laney then put a finger to her lips as if pondering on what to make.

Laney P.O.V

I'll make something simple that is always a crowd pleaser. I'll just have to tweak it here and there.

Laney: "Subaru, if you don't mind could you be my sue-chef?"

Subaru: "Tch..whatever."

Laney: "Thank you."

Subaru: "By the way what are you making," he asks tiling his head to the side.

Laney: "Spaghetti with meat sauce, home rolls and to keep Kanato happy I'll do some peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream!"

Time Skip

Reiji p.o.v.

I was walking into the dining room where I heard laughter and yelling coming from the kitchen. Turning the corner I see Subaru who has flour all over his face and Laney laughing at his disgruntled state. On the island I noticed there were nine plates, silverware rolled into red table cloths, glasses, and small dessert plates.
