Fires Collided

"Let go of him Juniper.Please!Let them all go!"That was it for Ralph."I told you not to!"Then he threw him off of himself and got on top of him as he beat the shit out of him."Ralph please it's not worth it!"Ralph stopped the minute I told him to.Juniper got up."Please let them go."Juniper let Alex and Dex go.Iran to Alex as soon as he was released."Are you ok?"He nodded.Dex did too.I went back to Ralph and Juniper."Why didn't you tell me it was your birthday?"I sighed."Because she didn't  remember.She never does.That's why!"He chuckled."You don't talk.You don't get to talk!Why would you tell her?!"I chuckled."I would've known even if he didn't.Why would you bet on me?!""Because I thought I would win!I thought I would get to dump you!But I couldn't!I lost!I lost the bet!You acted the way you are freely!You didn't hate spending time with me!Hell you forgave me after what I've done!My parents actually liked you after what you've done to his parents!Their friends got humiliated by you and they still liked you!Your personality and all of the little things you've done made me fall for you! I couldn't see the future!I didn't even thought about losing the bet!I knew there was no way.But I lost it!"

"This has to stop before it's too late."I turned around and sent my grandparents a fire message.They said it was ok."Juniper the engagement is off.I never meant to hurt you but I like you as a friend.I always did. I'm sorry but this is as far as I could go."I left them both there and went back to school.I changed and I laid on my bed. "Where were you?"I straightened up on my bed."And why am I answering you?"Mari chuckled."Because I know damn well you're trying to steal him from me."I rolled my eyes."I can't.Not with your bullshit."I got out of bed and I caught a glance of Baul.So I forgot about Mari and looked at the window.When I noticed Mari was talking Iturned around."Save it for later when I come back."I opened the window and jumped down.

When I flew far enough it was Baul."I have been wanting to see you."Without a word he flew away and I followed him.He landed on his side of the mountain."Baul?"He snapped back to reality."Kiddo?"I nodded."I'm so sorry.That wasn't me."I sighed."I know.I know it wasn't you."He laid down.He lit the fire up."Can I look?"I lifted my shirt up for him to see."It's not that big of a deal.I'm here aren't I?"He backed away."Go back to your school Rosalind."I wanted to stay.But honestly I was actually a bit scared.So I did as he said.I left.I came back and I went to sleep.

Following few days were calm until I bumped into this old man around the school gate.He helped me with my books and I apologized."I'm sorry.Are you ok?"He nodded."Are you?"I nodded."Rose.""Jayden."We shook hands."Are you a new professor?"He shook his head."No.I'm here to see my grandson.I've heard a couple rumors about something he shouldn't be doing."I chuckled."Most of us do things we shouldn't here."He laughed with me."How old are you?""17 sir.Turned just a couple days ago."He smiled."Well then...happy birthday Rose."I returned the smile."Thank you."

I was walking down the stairs to see who came to see me.When I was half way down I saw Rose and my grandfather talking and laughing.I got down and cut through their conversation."Grandfather?What are you doing here?"Rose turned to me and chuckled."I knew you looked familiar sir.Turns out you are a Fern."She rolled her eyes."You two met?"My grandfather nodded."Rose you know my grandson?"She nodded."He is the only Fern I like.Your son is an abusive fucker and your daughter in law is just bat shit crazy."She scoffed."You're not going to defend your parents?"I shook my head."Hell no.She's absolutely right."Her eyes didn't look at me the same like it did a few seconds ago.And I liked it this way better.

"You better not turn out like your son or I won't be held responsible for a 100 year old burned corpse."Then she just turned around and left."She's cute but fierce.Kind yet deadly.I like her.You do too.But that's not why I'm here.Let's walk."We walked in silence for a while then he spoke up."Your father reached out.Saying you were having contact with his enemies and he doesn't like that.I wouldn't either.Who is this enemy?Who are they coming from?Their club?Tell me about them."I chuckled."You just met her."He stopped walking."Rose?"I nodded."Explain."

So I explained.My grandfather is one of the few people I trust.I told him what happened ever since she came here.Everything in order.He listened to me with a still face but I knew inside he was having a very hard time processing all of this."So the other day it was her birthday.That's why we were together.Well we're always together because we're in the same club but together outside of the school walls.I don't know how dad heard but...it's obvious he somehow did."Then my grandfather's still face turned into a big laughter.He laughed and he laughed.I was concerned.He is an old man.What if he has a heart attack or something?"Grandfather?"He stopped.He finally stopped."I'm going to kill him."His still face was back."That psycho son of mine is dead.I'm telling you young man you better not become like your father or you're not living long enough to marry that girl."

Marry?What?"I'll deal with your father.You do whatever that makes you close to her.She's good for you.You're not the same dingus you were.I know a lot more about you than you think young man."I sighed."I don't know what that's supposed to mean but one thing you are right about is that she is what I need.What I needed all along.But...I'm not going to marry her or something.We're still young.I'm not going to get married at a young age and divorce a year after."Grandpa stood up."I will see you in a couple years when you come to my door asking for the family ring."Then he left me there.For a while I just sat there and watched the view.Until she found me."I've been looking for you.Why did your grandfather came?"I sighed."I-I-I-I'm not sure.Honestly I am confused."She chuckled."Being confused is my thing.But I'll leave you with yout thoughts.Bye Bunny."And she left.
