Chapter 7: Forgiveness

The picture is from one of my paint by number games (Gallery). It reminds me of how Aries would've looked like when she as alive and on Earth. I was thinking that whenever I do someone's chapter and I have a "painting" like this one, I'll try to put it on their chapter starting from this one on. Enjoy.

POV: Aries

Gemyni has come into my room with a happy look on her face. "What's up?", I asked her. She grabbed my wrist and started pulling me to the main living space. "I'll explain in a sec, I need everyone down here. Could you help drag people down here against their will? My brother already is down there." I smiled, "Well if it involves dragging people against their own will, then count me in!"

We split up, Gemyni went to get the girls and I, the guys. I decided to check rooms I haven't been in before. I found Cancer and Pisces in a room with easels, paint, paper, and instruments everywhere. "Whatcha guys doin in here?", I asked them. "Oh I'm just painting, and I'm not sure what Cancer was doing. What are you doing Crabby?" Pisces looked up at Cancer. "Oh nothing worth mentioning." He put the papers he had in a bag. "Anyways, welcome to the creativity room. In other words, Pisces and I found an empty room that no one was using and we put art supplies and instruments in it. If you ever need to kill someone, go here. Blood just looks like red paint." Cancer said. I nodded, "This is all very helpful, but Gemyni needs everyone in the main living space ASAP. Got it? Great, see you there." I walked out of the room. "So who next?" I mumbled to myself. 

I walked over to the guys rooms. There were voices coming from one of them. I walked in to see Libra and Scorpio talking intensely and playing with Daisy and Geo. "I'm sorry to interrupt this beautiful bromance, but Gemyni needs you guys in the main living space." I put my hands on my hips. "One: there's no bromance here. Two: alright, we're right behind you." Scorpio and Libra got up.

"Alright, only Aquarius and... Leo" I thought to myself. I don't feel like putting up with Leo's shit right now, so I'll harass Aquarius first.  He was listening to music and reading a book. I took his phone (they were given to us by Mr. Daemon when he got here. He had told us it would be faster to communicate than the Scrolls.) and I turned it up all the way. Aquarius jumped and pulled out the earbuds. "Well, ow! What was that for?" 

"That was because why not." 

"That's not a good reason." 

" I don't recall asking for your opinion. Anyways go to the main living space, Gemyni wants everyone there." I said as I walked out of his room. 

I groaned. Leo's next. I'll make sure to harass him extra good. He's the reason for my bitchyness. He left one day and didn't tell me anything. My best friend gone without a trace. It certainly didn't help that no one even acknowledged that he had existed. It didn't help that people blamed her for everything. Some Angels she was surrounded by back then. She couldn't help but like the Demons. They seemed more personable. They were more laid back and not as rule obsessed and stuffy as the Angels. The Angels here were okay too. 

I finally dragged my feet to Leo's room. He was sleeping, I had the perfect idea. I stretched my wings out and grabbed his ankles. While I was flying I let his head drag on the ground. "Wha? Let me go!" Leo had woken up. I started to fly faster. "Sure, once we get where you need to be." I saw stairs coming up. 'Perfect' I thought to myself. I flew down the stairs at full speed and let his head slam into every single in e of them. 

When we made it to the living space, Leo wasn't moving. I was pretty sure I knocked him out. I shrugged it off and left him on the floor to go sit on the couch. Gemyni and Gemarya were talking to each other about something. I was guessing it was about what they wanted to show us.

Finally they told us how they had figured out how to merge together. They did it in front of us. We were asking questions when a little snow came from the back of the room. "Who did that?" The twins asked. I looked over at where the sound had came from, Leo was there still asleep. I started laughing, Ophiuchus looked at me with confused eyes and I pointed to Leo. We both started laughing. Eventually everyone noticed and we were all laughing at him. He was face first on the floor with his butt in the air and he had a little drool trailing down from his mouth. Virgo pulled out her new phone, took a picture of it, and sent it to all of us. "This is priceless. If he new this was happening he would not be happy." Someone on the other side of the room said. 

.  .  .

After the meeting, Mr. Daemon called us to his classroom. There was a lady with white blond hair in a tight bun standing there. "Who are you?" I asked her. "I am Miss. Angelica. I will help Mr. Daemon teach." She turned to the rest of the class, "You're teachings will begin next week, but to determine where you are at already, we will have a competition. Mr.Daemon and I were talking about which would be the least competitive and safe to do here. We have come to the conclusion of a singing competition. It's safe, no teams, and -from what I've heard- there is a room where you can take turns practicing. We decided to do a competition to give you guys the beginning lesson of good sportsmanship." There were a couple groans. We all found a place to sit. "Anyways, that was all. I know you just sat down, but you are free to leave now. Work hard and play nice." 

I huffed as I got out of my chair, "Play nice?" What are we, 5?! I walked over to my room to look up songs to get an idea for what I wanted to do. 

Suddenly there was a knock on my door. I walked over and opened it to reveal Leo standing there awkwardly. I snickered at him, I would never be able to look at him with a straight face again. "What do you want?" I snapped at him. He cautiously took a step back, "Could I talk to you? Please?" Leo never said please. I opened to door wider. 

He sat down at my desk and put his face in his arms. "I wish I had been able to tell you what happened." I scoffed "But you didn't and look where we are now." 

"I didn't come here for you to forgive and forget. I came here to start over."

"Oh yeah? How do we do that? We forgive and forget. I will not do either of those things! I don't think you know what it was like! YOUR BEST FRIEND TAKEN FROM YOU, AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM! EVERYONE PRETENDED YOU NEVER EVEN EXSISTED! How exactly can I forget the feeling of eternal loneliness when it haunted me every. Single. Day?" I sat down on my bed and let a single tear trickle down my face. I had to be strong and keep up my guard for so many. The walls I've built are finally crashing down. All the feelings I've kept stomped down are flooding back up. 

" How am I supposed to just shrug that off?" I let a couple more years of suppressed emotions well up.

Leo walked over and sat next to me. He enveloped me in a hug and said, "I-I guess you can't... but there is one thing I've been wanting to tell you for so long. I-I I love you. I love you more than you can even imagine! I don't think you could even fathom that." He kissed my forehead. I looked up at him. He had tear stains on his face. We had both stayed strong in front of so many, we could finally let our guards down and show someone what a mess we were inside. 

"Why didn't you tell me this sooner?" I let my voice crack.

"Because I was too scared that if I did, I would loose the one thing I care most about." 

Sorry if this was a little short but I wanted to finish one more chapter before I left for the trip. I think some of the shortest things can be the most powerful. Anyhoo the next chapter will most certainly be out much much later.
