Tsunami POV
Riptide. The only person I can trust in this whole bloody kingdom. I need to find him.
I swam to his cave, but there was no one there. I swam out and bumped into...Webs?
What are you doing here? I flashed.
I'm visiting Riptide. He flashes back
He's not home.
I know. I mean...er... of course I don't know! Why would I know?
He's definitely doing something he shouldn't be doing. Guilty.
What are you doing?
Nothing! Look, if you don't tell Riptide, I'll tell you.
What is it?
I...well, when I'm lazy, I come over and stea- I mean, borrow some food from him and...yeah. The queen doesn't let me hunt here anyway.
There is food in the academy. Yes or no?
I was ordered here by the Queen! Do you know why?
I wanted to snarl at him. Instead, I just glared and swam away. I had a feeling it was for the wedding.
Right. Riptide. Where is Riptide?
I actually should have asked Webs, but he makes me to mad to think. Riptide, where are you?
I swam past another cave and-
Wait. That's Riptide's voice. What's he doing in there? I cautiously crouch down and listen. That's his voice and - another girl's. WHO IS IT?
"Look Sapphire, I don't want to do this any-"
"DON'T 'LOOK SAPPHIRE' ME! YOU ARE CHEATING ON ME! ADMIT IT!" shrieked the girl.
A hard clump and a heavy thud. But I hardly hear him. I'm raging in my head. He has a girl.
"Shaffire, I deednd-"
Shut up, you lump. YOU LUMP.
Suddenly, despair runs over me. I can't control it. My eyes fill with tears and my vision blurs as I swim away as fast as I can. I don't want to do anything anymore. It feels like everything's over, gone, stopped. Nothing to live for anymore.
I curl up and cry, tears flooding down my face and vanishing amongst the ocean as I sob. He didn't love me. He never loved me. I'm just some random girl for him.
It hurt. Badly.
End it. my nerves urged. You have nothing to live for anymore.
But I don't. I hold. The other side of my brain says stay strong.
I curl up and cry heavily, tears pouring down my cheeks.
You are nothing to him.Riptide POV
God, Sapphire. What did I see in you back then? I even told you not to expect anything big, because I wouldn't ever give up on Tsunami!
I wonder where Tsunami is. I want to go to her and cry into her skin.
I'm so tired. I feel numb.
"-YOU CHEATED ON ME! STOP DENYING IT! YOU BLOODY KISSED HER! WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT MEANS? YOUCHEATEDONMEANDYOUWONKTADMITITSOGOTOYOURGIRFRIENDANDKISSHERAGAIN!"
Wow, she has a lot of breath. What does that mean?
I feel dizzy.
"STOP SITTING IN MY HOUSE AND LOOKING DREAMY- three moons, where's my STICK?"
My eyes roll upwards and I see darkness. Then, I feel one last sharp pain and I'm gone.
It's over.
