Vanille's POV
"It's..."
Crystal tries to speak but she stops for a brief second. She sighs.
"They planned everything. They'll divorce and never see each other again. We all agreed on this," Crystal explains with a smirk. This also brings a smile to my face for some reason.
Maybe Arashi can live peacefully now. But wait...
"A divorce? Why the long trip then?" I ask, confused about the situation.
"They work for the same company and in the same department. Mom is Dads secretary, which is ironic. Our father had to take her with him; orders from the company. Dad will stay there and Mom will return here after some years. She will work like there's no tomorrow so she can cover everything relating to Dan and her in Dads absence, and also..." Crystal tries to speak more but a tear escapes her eyes. She wipes it off and look at me.
"I've been watching Dan closely. He's learning how to be independent, and living his own life. Mom wants this and that's why she's staying overseas for so long. Dan always relied on us. She wants him to meet the world he lives in, and teach him how it is in reality. To mature to be exact. He's reckless, but in the past few years, he's been a lot more independent than any of us could've ever been."
That's... weird. But I guess it worked in the long run. He's living his own life now.
And yet, you're-
Bitch, shut the FUCK UP.
Crystal gets up from the bed and looks at me from the corner of her eye.
"You know I'm telling you all of this because I trust you right?" Crystal asks.
I remain silent, playing with my fingers. It's best to let her be for now.
"If you ever try to tell everyone about this or take advantage of him because of this-" She pauses. "Then be the hell sure you will not live to see another day." I'm not scared. She looks like a sister trying to protect her brother more than an actual threat.
"Let's go. Now."
I nod in agreement.
We walk out of the room and make our way to the kitchen. There, we notice Daniel is there. He is looking at- Knives?
He sighs and grabs one knife. A small one. I notice it has something carved on the handle. It reads "D&V."
You are nothing but a co-
I snap out of my 'Daydreaming' as quick as possible and continue looking at Daniel.
He is at the verge of tears.
"Where were you when I needed you the most, Von?" He asks, rhetorically, trying not to cry. "I'm sorry for using this knife against myself. I'm sure that if you were here at that moment none of that would've happened."
Don't even try to tell him something, you will ruin your life even mo-
Shut up. Please.
I walk close to Daniel, with tears forming in my eyes, and hug him with all my strength.
"V-Vanille? Wha-"
"Don't talk," I say.
He hugs me back, crying.
"I'm going to leave you guys alone, but only when we're done with Cammy's thing. Let's go," Crystal says.
We part the hug. Daniel looks at me with tears forming on his eyes.
"I-I." He stutters.
I put my index finger in his lips.
