Constellation of Hearts

Chapter Four

She slept there for only the gods know how long. Hours later, She woke up to someone gently shaking her awake. For a moment, Pisces didn't recognize the constellation that was by her. As her vision cleared, She saw that it was her best friend, Gemini.

"Are you okay?!" Gemini asked, clearly worried. Pisces felt bad that her best friend had caught her like this.

"I'm okay Genesis, I'm okay." Pisces told her friend reassuringly. Gemini hugged her tightly and Pisces returned the hug.

"How come your out here? Weren't you going to prank Connor with Mist, Aqua, Lira, And Chase?" Pisces flinched at Cancer's name being said. She looked down at her lap, Avoiding Gemini's gaze.

"Peyton? Are you sure you're okay?" Gemini asked, once again worried.

"Yeah, We were gonna prank Cap." Pisces said softly. She didn't dare look up.

"Are you sure you're okay though?" Gemini asked Peyton. She didn't answer, Just stared at the ground.

"Did something happen?" Peyton hesitated but eventually nodded. "What happened? You don't have to tell me if you don't want too."

"No, I want to tell you. If you'll listen..." Pisces looked up to meet her friend's gaze. Gemini's expression was kind, It helped her find her courage.

"I'll listen. I promise." Gemini gave a comforting smile. Pisces took a deep breath.

"You know how Cancer and I were dating?" Pisces said it as more of a statement rather than a question.

"Yeah. Did something happen between the two of you? You usually say his name instead of his title." Gemini scooted closer to Pisces in an effort to be comforting.

"Well, We got in an argument that was mostly me yelling for him to say something. This time, He didn't say anything. Nothing at all despite me giving him multiple chances to speak up and say something. Anything really. When he didn't say anything, I broke up with him and stormed here. I don't know how long I cried and screamed, but I eventually wore myself out and fell asleep. Then I woke up to you shaking me awake." Pisces summarised, Her voice almost too quiet to hear.

"Oh... I'm so sorry to hear that..." Gemini hugged Pisces sympathetically.

"Don't be. He was kind of a jerk anyway. Always shutting me down and then expecting me to forgive him." Pisces returned the hug, Feeling a little bit better.

"Why don't we go visit Ari? We can play a game or something with him. What do you think about that?" Genesis asked, releasing Peyton and looking her in the eyes. She smiled and they both stood up.

"Sure, It's always fun to hang out with you guys." The two headed to where Aries was hanging out by a river. Gemini sat on his left while Pisces sat on his right.

"Heya Ari!" Gemini greeted cheerfully. Ari ruffled her hair playfully, causing them all to laugh.

"Hey Gem, Hey Pie!" Aries greeted with a grin and equally as much enthusiasm.

"Hey Ari, how ya been?" Pisces asked giving him a fist bump with her renewed energy.

"I've been good. How about you two?" He turned the question on them with a sly smile.

"Good! By the way, Do you wanna go scare Cap? He's been pranking everyone lately." Gemini answered for the both of them. Excitement lit up Ari and Peyton's faces, They practically jumped up they were so excited.

"Yes!! Let's go find him!" Aries stood up despite practically bouncing up and down. Pisces quickly followed the Gemini. Pisces wasn't completely at her usual level of energy but she still moved rather quickly.

The three of them started their search for connor. They could not wait to get the chance to scare Capricorn after all the pranks he's pulled so far. Pisces lagged behind a bit, letting her thoughts take most of her attention. Things might have been bad when she was with Cancer but now that was over. Things were going to get better and she'd be able to move on. She just knew it.

"I'll race you to the circle!" Genesis called from up ahead. Pisces darted past her friends, a bright smile on her face.

"Oh you are on!" Ari shouted with a laugh. All three of them laughed while they ran towards the circle, Pisces leading the pack. Things were already getting better. And what could possibly stop them?
