Fate's Strings (2p! Hetalia x Reader)

Chapter Seven

(Short Author's Note: 

I was originally going to post this chapter on Friday, but decided to push it to a few days earlier for a few different reasons. One of these reasons is that I will be taking a short break from updates after this chapter. 

A new semester starts for me at the beginning of January, so I will have all new classes. With new classes comes a different workload, so I want to focus on changing my schedule to balance work and the new college classes.  

I will begin posting chapters again by the end of January. I'm sorry for having to take a break, but I feel that it's better to have the time to write out better chapters instead of rushing. Thank you guys for understanding!

With that being said, I also want to give a warning for the next few chapters. Obviously the 2ps are known to be rather violent, and I have made the 2p axis group the antagonists against the reader for this arc of the story. Luciano, in particular, is the main antagonist for now, and how I will be portraying him in these next few chapters isn't all flowers and rainbows. But, he will get a redemption arc where his relationship with the reader is concerned, I promise.

Now, please enjoy this chapter!)

"Bella? Where are you?" a voice called from somewhere nearby.

The room I was in was familiar. Considering all the shelves of books around me, I assumed it was a library of some sorts. I was sitting on a soft, dark blue couch, a book in my hand. All the lights in the room were off, except for the lamp on the table beside me, so I was as close to it as I could be. The lights couldn't be on right now, or someone would find me, and that was definitely something I didn't want right now.

It was late at night. I wasn't supposed to be in the library, considering everyone thought I was sleeping. But I couldn't sleep. My eyes felt puffy, so I knew I had been crying. I didn't want anyone to see me like that.

I reached over, flipping the light off as I closed the book. Surely whoever it was had seen the light in the first place, but I didn't want to make it easier for them to find me. I felt like I couldn't talk about what was wrong. I didn't know what to say...I knew how I felt, but also knew that it didn't matter....

"Bella, I know you're here," I couldn't clearly see the person who sat down next to me on the couch. "Are you okay?"

"No...." I muttered as he turned the lamp back on. "I don't want to leave you, not to mention everyone else..."

"We don't want you to leave either..." the same sorrow that I was feeling was thick in his voice. "But Arthur says that it isn't right to keep you in our dimension. You have family and friends where you were. It's not fair of us to take you from them..."

"But he knows I don't want to leave," tears began streaming down my face once more. "I'll be going to college in a few months, which means having to move away from everyone. I won't have anyone I know in the town I'm moving to, but if I go back to my dimension, I have to go no matter what. There's nowhere else for me to stay...So isn't it better for me to just stay with all of you in a place that I know I want to be?"

"I would love for you to stay," he pulled me into a hug. "Nobody would mind if you stayed here with me in my home. Everyone would come to visit you, or I could take you to go visit them. I don't know if I can convince Arthur to change his mind....but I will try, bella."

"Feliciano..." I held him tightly. "Thank you...I really do love you guys...."

Suddenly, Feliciano was gone. In his place was the girl from my dreams, yet we were still in the library instead of that hospital.
