(Vixy's POV)

I sat in one of the trees of the orchard, watching the sun slowly set below the horizon. I have felt so stupid for snapping at Jas and Aaron. My poor goofball must be worried like crazy at the moment. I mean, the orchard has the crappiest cell service, but I needed a break from all the news of the Wilde family and insults from others, and yes, even a small break from my boyfriend.

I sighed as I watched from my branch the sunset. I'll just go on and say that dusk is one of my favorite times of the day. The beautiful, ombre colors as the sun are almost down completely, the lovely orange, red, and yellow. I swear to god, my computer screen saver is a sunset, that's how much I love this time of day.

The late winter breeze ruffled my fur, making me shiver a bit before crossing my arms. I'm gonna be honest, I have thought about just letting myself let go and die.....but Aaron needs me. I know that if I leave him alone in this world, he'll just end his own life. And I don't want my Aaron to join me on the other side by killing himself, then Jasper would do it too.

Also, being by myself let me think a lot about what hell I've been through: I've been a victim of sexual assault, my mom, dad, and baby sisters all died in the car crash, I've been harassed by Maxwell Speed, my aunt passed away from an attempted robbery by an unknown mammal, Aaron's and Viv's kidnapping, me slipping into a coma, revealing my most feared secret, Vivian's crash........

I started sobbing as I pondered even if she'll wake up, which is a pretty big IF! I had gotten an update yesterday that one of her kidneys were failing, so they were going to take an organ donor's, but I was still fearful.

My cheek and face fur was soaked by my tears to the point where it feels like my face is freezing. I didn't care and let out as many sobs as I wanted until all that was left in me were small whimpers. 

I held onto the necklace Aaron meant to give me as a Christmas present, but since I was in a coma, he gave it to me when I got out of the hospital. He said that if I held it, it would make me feel better whether I was feeling angry, sad, or even slightly happy. It was a half of a heart that said, "Together". Aaron had the other half that said, "Forever". I think when he gave it to me, I kissed the daylights out of him.

"Vixy?!"

"Vix! Where are ya?!"

I recognized the two voices of my friend and boyfriend. I chose to ignore them. I still felt guilty for snapping at them. It wasn't their fault that Viv was in her coma.

Aaron's scent hit me like a wave and I instinctively felt calmed by it. I didn't even need to nuzzle his neck or lean up next to him, his scent alone just made me calm. I heard Jas and Aaron climb up the tree; Aaron sat on the branch I was on, being careful and Jasper stood on the other branch. 

Yeah, his species is a member of the cat family, so I'm not surprised. 

I felt Aaron's paw on my mine and slowly turned my gaze towards him. He immediately kissed my lips softly, trying to comfort me. It worked and after a second or two, I melted into the kiss, keeping one paw on the wood underneath me to try and keep my balance and let my fingers intertwine with his. I felt his free paw rest on my cheek.

His paw felt warm on it, making me smile. After a small bit, he broke away and looked at me, moving some of my headfur out of the way. "Are you okay?" he asked.

I nodded. "Y-yeah. I," I paused and sighed. "I'm sorry for snapping at you guys, and not for telling you about mine and Viv's argument." I murmured.

Aaron brought me in closer so my head rested on his shoulder. I felt his warmth transfer into me and I sighed, nuzzling my head into his neck. 

"It wasn't your fault Vix. You've been stressed like crazy for the past two weeks; your secret out, Viv's car crash, and school, I understand." he murmured and pressed his lips up against my head.

I don't know what it is about Jasper and Aaron, but they always seemed to lighten my day. Jasper chuckled and twitched his tail. "Yeah, Vix, friends nor family would split up after just one argument."

I chuckled and Aaron rubbed my shoulder. "Hey, show me your necklace." he murmured.

I showed him my half of the necklaces and Aaron showed me his. He gently connected them and held my paw. "I'll always be with you, Vix. You may take me aback when you snap, but your still my vixen."

I felt my heart melt at those words and pressed my forehead against his, holding his paw and letting our necklaces disconnect. "Together Forever, goofball," I whispered, feeling his tail curl around mine. He slowly pulled away and gently kissed my paw, making me smile. 

I heard Jasper shiver. "Hey, how about he head on down and go somewhere warm. The cafe?" he suggested.

I shrugged and smiled. "Why not? You in Aaron?" I asked.

My boyfriend nodded. "Let's go." he said, smiling.

I let the two go down before looking at the sunset one more time. I placed my paw on my necklace and smiled. "All I see is sky, for forever." I hummed quietly. Once I turned to start heading down, I suddenly felt the branch give way.

The fall was a bit of a blur, but the next thing I knew was I was laying on the prickily, hard grass. It poked my back a good bit. My head hurt with my vision and hearing a bit off, but another thing seemed off.

My arm was bent awkwardly and had gone numb. I hissed as I remembered what Viv had told me how it feels when you've got a broken bone. "Oh, crap." I muttered.

I looked up once my vision cleared see Jasper and Aaron come down the tree as quickly and as carefully as possible. Jasper made it down first and helped me sit up until Aaron got there. I weakly smiled and my boyfriend examined my arm.

"Vixy, your arm, I, I think it's broken." he murmured.

I chuckled weakly and sarcastically. "No shit, sherlock." I teased, only to hiss at the pain in my arm.

Aaron looked at Jasper with seriousness in his gaze. "Call Nick and let him know, what's going on. And take Vixy's car." he said.

I slowly gave Jasper my keys and he took them. Aaron carefully helped me up to my feet and towards his car. I'll be honest; I think I pulled an Evan Hansen this time.


{XD, bad joke at the end to lighten the mood.....also, probably longest chapter I've written so far.}
