The pair sat on her bed, absent-mindedly playing card games. Nobody was keeping score, they were just enjoying each others company.

"Felicity, I honestly do not know how to play cards" Jonathan said. She giggled sweetly and lied down next to him. "I don't even know how to play myself" Felicity revealed. "Then what was the point of the game?" He asked happily. Felicity simply shrugged her shoulders and laughed.

"What do you think of Natalia?" Jonathan asks. "Natalia? Natalia who?" Felicity teases. "Literally what other Natalia" Jonathan laughs. "She's different, very pretty" Felicity honestly responds. "More than pretty, it's like unearthly" Jonathan pesters, making Felicity frown. "I-I guess so" she says.

"I was gonna invite her to Lisa, Martha, and I's lunch table. I want her and Martha to get along again" Jonathan says. Felicity wasn't sure what he meant by again, but she was too tense to even bother comprehending. "Well I hope everything goes well Jon" she sweetly remarked.

"Felicity, would you like to join too?" Jonathan asks her, making her freeze. "You can't be serious" Felicity annoyingly says. Jonathan nodded at her but she rolled her eyes. "I'm not a last resort and I don't need your pity" she remarks.

"You're being ridiculous" Jonathan pesters. "If you'd rather spend time with Natalia I understand, don't try to bring me in to make me feel better because it will just make me feel worse" Felicity said.

"Why would you?" Jonathan curiously asked. She examined him, and sadly looked down. "Nothing, forget I said anything I'll be fine" Felicity said, packing her things.

"I should be heading home now" She quickly said. He didn't want to anger her even further, its best if she left, so she could calm down. Jonathan just nodded at her and started cleaning up their unfinished game ot cards.

As soon as Felicity touched the door knob she felt sick to her stomach. She turned to her friend slightly and she stood there with her mouth agape. "Jon please stay safe" She said willfully, and that's all she ever wanted.

Jonathan didn't even take in account her odd behavior, as if some part of him knew exactly how she felt but it would take some time to actually understand his odd behavior.

"Always" He told her, making her give him and small smile.

"The Agnelli Manor?" Edward remarks, as he proped himself on Natalia's window. "And you believe you have a relation to these people" He continues. "I dunno, I'm an orphan, same last name, both lives in Alaska" She says, giggling a bit.

"If you're so certain than I'm in, I'm up for a little adventure with you" He says with a suave smile. "I also saw that Agnelli's are known for their red hair, I might dye it to cover myself up too" Natalia says. "You're a genius, they will believe your like some lost heir and you'll gain a fortune" Edward laughs, and she could help but laugh at that thought too.

"I'd go to sleep if I were you, we've got things to plan, roads to pass, manors to ransack" Edward teases her. She laughs sweetly and cups his cheek tenderly. "Goodnight then" She says.

Edward smiles at this gesture, and he leaves. Natalia closed her window and lyed down in her bed, completely ready for what was coming next.

next day

Although Jonathan was determined to gain Natalia's attention, he still lingered on about Felicity. She was someone he grew to become fond of in such little time, she was nothing of a last resort.

Jonathan closed his locker to meet Lisa staring happily at him. "My boys in love" She giggles, pinching his cheeks. "Not in love" He reassures, gaining the attention of Martha. "If you are just be careful" Martha warns him. Lisa simply rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "You say that in every conversation" Lisa remarks. "He always seems to forget" Martha fired back.

Lisa and Martha's useless banter was tuning out as soon as Natalia walked into the school building and she seemed different today. She wore a red blouse and khaki shorts. Her blonde hair up in a bun, with loose curls spiraling their way out. Her freckles were prominent, and her blush had even formed on the tip of her nose.

Jonathan was awestruck, only to let Martha look at him worridly. Natalia caught his eyes, and smiled at him so gently. This gave him a sudden rush of confidence to go up to her.

"Natalia, you look...beautiful" He said to her, she was taken aback by his confidence but smiled nevertheless. "Thank you" She said. "I was wondering if you'd join Lisa and Martha and I for lunch?" Jonathan asked her, and the idea of Martha still made her so weak.

As soon as Jonathan asked her, Felicity walks in with her brother. She caught the pair, she knew exactly went down. She never wanted his pity, nor did she really care at this moment. However, Edward did.

Jonathan glanced at Felicity, Natalia felt his gaze left hers. She felt useasy that a girl as plain as Felicity could have diverted his attention. She gripped her hands and his chin softly and moved his head in order for his eyes to meet hers.

"I'd love to have lunch with you three" She said. Edward fumed, yet it was certain she was her mothers daughter. He knew what she truly wanted, yet he wasn't sure what kind of plan she was hatching.

"You failed to do what I asked" Edward whispered lowly to his sister. "Might I remind you I agreed to no such thing" Felicity countered. "You're feisty all of a sudden" Edward teased. "You're weak all of a sudden, you're questioning your emotions right at this second. I have no idea what you and blondie have planned but if it has to do with hurting Jon that cannot go for any longer" Felicity said.

"Then get with him, I already lined it out for you" Edward said. "That's not the point it's not that simple, I cannot change how he feels" Felicity sadly confessed. She was right, no matter how strongly she felt about him she knew that he would always have held Natalia to a higher regard.

"You really think so" Edward asked her softly. Her face was burning and tears were starting to form. She nodded painfully. "I know so" Those words slipped out like a knife sliding down her lips. She came to terms with reality, she faced it, accepted it, but was she even prepared for something lying forward.

"Don't hurt him" Felicity begged. "Felicity I have no intentions of hurting Jonathan. You're right we can't help how he feels. Yet I'm not Jonathan, it is okay to be a little selfish, especially when I know the girl thinks of me tenderly. Other people won't hinder what I want, it's my life not theirs" Edward remarked.

"I'm your sister Edward, do it for me please" Felicity begged once more. Edward shook his head and scoffed. "I don't care for you, family or not, I've always felt that way, in your shadow" Edward told her, he was clearly annoyed with the conversation, so he left her flustered.

She had no idea how she was going to get to class like this. She was losing, or maybe she had already lost.

What is the purpose now? We do not know.
