Fires Collided

³⁵

I knew Peter couldn't stay for two weeks but he was leaving already.Five days went by really fast.We were in his room packing his stuff."Why do you have to leave so early though?Can't you postpone for one day?"He shook his head."You're not going to like it but uhm...there is this ball.Every sixteen year old and older kids from Dragondeth families goes to.It's for them to find...a wife or a husband at this age.Since I'm sixteen rules say that I have to be there.But look at the bright side.You're going too.Not this year but next year.Maybe we'll dance together."I sighed."You could've just told me from the start.It's alright.Go.Have fun.As you said...I'll be ther next year.And if you even think about cheating know that I will know and you won't live long enough to talk to me and come clean."

"Noted.I wasn't going to.But noted regardless."We laughed a little."Good."Then I kissed him.Then he kissed me back harder and rougher.I returned the favor of course.Then Alex came in and yelled."YOU TWO ARE DISGUSTING GET THE FUCK AWA FOR EACH OTHER IF I'M AROUND!UGH!"I laughed and let go of Peter."Let's go Alex and let him pack."I gave small and genuine smile to Peter and got Alex with me while I went to my room.

"I'm kidding you two are absolutely aborable.But I still don't like him.""You don't like him because I spend more time with him.But you know he won't stay too long.He has his own family and his Engagement ball and stuff to deal with."Alex looked confused."Uhm...did I hear you right?Engagement ball?"I nodded.He started laughing."He's so going to cheat on you.And I will fucking bury him to the ground."I chuckled."We talked.You know I can end him easily."I turned into my flame form."Yeah I keep forgetting this."I turned back to my human form.

"Wanna see something cool?"He nodded and I turned into a bear.Since my dress was black I turned intoa black one."Wow.Can you like roar?"I chuckled."I don't know yet.Wanna scare someone?"He nodded and we walked to the living room with me still a bear."Mom.Dad.This is my new bear.How do you like it?"I started licking Alex to annoy him."Stop it you dumb bear."Then I jumped on him.We both started laughing and I turned to our family."It's me.Rose?"I turned back to my human form and helped Alex stand up."You scared us!I am going to take that transfiguration book away from you young lady!"I laughed at grandpa."No you won't.You like that I am focused and powerful and concantrated enough to do a simple transfiguration on myself.You know that's hard."

"Besides...Rose can actually do it.Me on the other hand?"Then he turned into a little snake."This is the only thing I can turn into.THE ONLY THING!"Then Alex went back to his human form."Let her do it."Grandpa rolled his eyes."FINE!You two are unbelievable."Then Alex's father spoke up."You're a good brother to Rose,Alex."He got me under his arm."Hell yeah I am!I'm an excellent brother.See."Then he gave me a bone crushing hug."Let me go you freakishly strong baby giant!"My whole family burst into laughter while I died.Eventually it was time for Peter to leave.

"Say hi to Baron for me.I wrote him aletter but just in case."He nodded."I will."We kissed for one last time and he left."I miss him."Alex looked at me."He just walked out of the door dumdum.Come in we'll watch a sad movie if it could make you cry."I chuckled.I'm made out of titanium.You can't make me cry you freakishly strong baby giant."

I don't even know how the rest of the holiday went by."Well I will see you guys in a couple months."I got in the carriage and then it took me back to school.I arrived and went to my club tower.Before I went to my bedroom I thought I would look for Silver or Kendrick.Anyone.I don't know I missed them.Then Kendrick scared the shit out of me."Boo!"I almost screamed but instead I just slammed him to the wall with a huge fireball."Never scared me again please."I helped him get up."Try to not kill me again.How does that work for ya?"He got up.

"Scare me again and you might actually die Kendrick."He rolled his eyes."Pfft.You can't do that to this pretty face."My face expression didn't even changed a bit."Fine you are capable of doing that."I settled back into my room and then changed to go back to the common area to talk and meddle with the others.Then I sent a fire message to Dexter in case he was back too.Not long after our club tower's door was being knocked and assuming Fern and Crooks were already fighting.And...I was 100% right."Here she is.Next time you ask me to come please answer the door yourself."I nodded."Noted."Then I turned to Crooks."Please don't even say it."He nodded."Yo smushing with yo bestie?"I rolled my eyes."Whatever bro.I have a boyfriend."Then me and Dex left."You're incredibly proud to have a boyfriend.What happened?"

"Nothing major.Don't worry.And it has nothing to do with Peter anyways.Though I am incradibly free and happy now."He gave me that confused look."Everything is just going to be great from now on.Don't worry.Relax."We went to the garden outside to take some fresh air.We talked and had our fun.

It was right before we went to bed.Me and Kendrick were sitting in front of the fireplace."Seems like you had a nice holiday with your entire family and boyfriend."I nodded.Then I got serious."Kendrick?""Yes Princess?"I sighed."How are you?"He chuckled."I'm great."I sighed and looked right into his eyes."I'm talking about last year."He turned back to the fire."I'm fine.Don't think about it.It's in the past."I chuckled."It's clearly not Kendrick.And you can't expect it to be in the past this fast.It was a living creature!"He got up and tried to leave."Kendrick I'm sorry."He stopped."You were and are the only person I told besides my parents.Just because I trusted you enough doesn't mean you can ask about it!"

"I'm not asking about it I'm asking about how you feel?If it hurts?If it feels like there is a constant pain in your chest?Or if you could get it out of your mind?If you could go at least a day without thinking about it?I ask you how you feel about it.Not the topic itself!"He scoffed and kicked the little coffee table and broke it."Kendrick!"We didn't realize that people were coming.

"WHAT ROSE?!Yes!It hurts!Yes there isn't a day goes by that I don't think about it!Alright?!"

"ALRIGHT!"We kept yelling at each other until Silver came and stopped us."ENOUGH!Both of you!"I sighed.My chest beating like thunder."I asked because I care."Then I turned around and walked through the giant crowd to get to my room.
