My tears run down like razor blades
And no I'm not the one to blame
It's you or is it me?
And all the words we never say
Come out and now we're all ashamed
And there's no sense in playing games
When you've done all you can do.

{Valentine's Day,2008}

Soft snow flakes fluttered to the ground outside the clear glass windows of the BBA building. Valentine's Day; She sat there, staring out at the grey sky and watching the white cotton sift to the ground. She sighed and brushed some hair behind her ear. What a brilliant night it was... What a brilliant setting... What a brilliant tragedy;

Happy Valentine's Day.

Happy.. Bloody.. Valentine's Day.

{1 Year Earlier, Feb.5,2007}

Jemma Katina pulled her black sweater tighter around herself as she left the set for her daytime drama show; 'Cold Love'. Cold it was. The girl shivered as she walked across the parking lot to the other set for the show, and knocked on the door of a trailer. The gesture was soon answered

when Mariam Carey stepped out, pulling her winter's jacket tighter around herself like Jemma had done.

"Light snow; But it's still so cold." The bluenette said.

"Yes. It's very cold." Jemma answered, and together, arm in arm, the two best friends strode to the street intersection to hail a taxi.

Fate had been kind to them, after the summer they turned girls had managed to get highly coveted positions as actresses for a new show on T.V, and it had been receiving great ratings. Jemma even had the chance to get a leading role in a movie; But chose to stick behind since her best friend Mariam hadn't the qualifications to do so. They still bladed, of course. Actually, that was more their first job, and they spent more time at the BBA then at the set for 'Cold Love'. Much like now; Shooting had been wrapped for the day, and they were heading back to home. Back to the BBA. After the countless millions being world champion beybladers on the G Revolutions team, Judy Tate, Stanley Dickinson and Hiro Granger thought it cruel to split the team up every summer. So, they bought the rest of the vacant land surrounding the BBA in New York City, and turned it into a full-scale mansion. Everyone had a room, a common room, and a place to be. A place to belong. Yes, ...Fate had been kind.

But not in all ways.

Kai Hiwatari, ice king extraordinaire, had soon shed his emotionless exterior and opened his heart to romance. But of course; Out of all the fabulous girls he had to choose from, who would he pick? He simply couldn't. So he didn't. Kai had been dating each one of them. Well, nearly each one. Kai and Jemma had hooked up last year, and seemed to be in blissville. None the less with everyone else. Mariam came soon after, and the two girls were overjoyed to have such a man. They talked about it for long hours, and even they had been hoping to have more girls to gossip about Kai with. They got their wish. Mariah and Salima joined the league of dating Kai, and the friendship soon turned 4 ways. All of them were so happy; and none were bitter. And a month later, a shy Emily had vied for Kai's affections also. Not to mention Hilary.6 girls; 1 man.1 Love. And none of them, Kai included; Wanted to change that. Or so they thought, Kai included...

The relationships lasted, for so long. Until one cold February morning, the first actually, Kai showed up to the set of 'Cold Love' with a cold thorn. He had knocked on Jemma's trailer door, and said flat out that he did not want to be with her anymore. When Jemma has asked why, he told her he was tired of all the lies and rumors she'd been spitting to him about the other girls.

'What lies?! What rumors?!' She'd countered with. But to no avail. He said he didn't want to hear such dribbles of regret. Mariam had opened her trailer window from across the lot and heard the commotion, hardly believing herself that Jemma would do such a thing. Kai walked and left Jemma then, standing there by her trailer door with her soft black hair flying in the frost-bitten air. And he made his way to Mariam's trailer. Mariam gulped, hoping it wasn't the same deal... But it was. Kai confronted her with allegations of her being cold to him, almost void of his love. The SaintShield couldn't believe her ears.

'I always kissed you with love and compassion!' She had said. No. He wouldn't hear of it. Kai told her he always had to ask for a kiss, and sometimes the reply would be 'not in public' or some other lame excuse. A tear ran down her snowy cheek as Kai walked away. Jemma watched from across the lot, mouth hanging open in shock. How could he?! She, especially, and Mariam, ...They'd given him everything!!......What about the other girls??

When Jemma and Mariam had arrived back at the BBA that day, they found the other 4 in tears in the common room.

'He said I was still in love with Tyson!' Hilary cried.

'He said I wouldn't sleep with him!' Salima sobbed.

'He said I was too clingy!' Mariah sniffled.

'He said I was ugly!' Emily whined.

Jemma and Mariam could all but tell their tales and try to give, and get, consolation from the others.

That was then. This is now.

Mariam and Jemma smiled as a cab halted to a stop so they could climb inside and get some shelter from the snowy sky.

"The BBA building please." Mariam chirped as the driver nodded and sped off. Yes... The grand break-ups were only 4 days behind them. None of the girls had been quite themselves... They all had Kai to blame. The taxi stopped again as it reached the revolving doors of the BBA. White twinkles were still falling, and Jemma and Mariam hurried out of the cab and into the comfort of their home. Their high heels made clicking sounds as they trotted down the corridor. Normal conversations surrounded the girls as Mariam walked aimlessly and Jemma slid on her Mp3 earphones.

'Oh yes! Magnificent attack!'

'A storm for valentine's? How sad.'

'I need more COFFEE!'

'Keep Tyson out of the refrigerator!'

Nothing new. The two girls drew nearer to the common room where their other companions would most certainly be waiting. And they were.

"Hey you two. How was filming today?" Mariah asked, turning a page in her Cosmo magazine.

"Fine." Mariam answered, dropping down on the couch. Jemma fell into a loveseat, lost in her music like usual, void of anything and anyone around her. Mariam tapped her foot impatiently.

Emily looked up from her laptop, and she could've growled as the stoic Russian walked by. Actually, everyone looked at him that way since the last 4 days. They hated him... They all hated him.

They all loved him. Emily sighed and returned her attention to her laptop.

"I wanna run away."

They looked at her. Salima cocked an eyebrow.

"Hm? Run away where?" Emily was about to answer when Mariam answered for her.

"Anywhere. What would you guys say about a little getaway, you know, just us girls? Just the 6 of us? I was thinking... That maybe we could all put our cheques together and rent a hotel."

"A hotel? Just us 6? I'd die for it!" Salima exclaimed. At this point, serious talk of an amazing Valentine's getaway ensued. Mariah even nudged Jemma in the ribs, signalling for her to shut off her music and listen; Which she did.

"I seriously think this could work. If we all chipped in say,$3000,we could do it easy." Mariam shrugged.

"That's a good idea. I'm in!" Mariah mused, raising her hand. Salima and Emily nodded too, and eagerly raised their hands. Mariam chuckled and raised hers a little. Jemma shook her head at the enthusiastic bunch around her with a smile on her face.

"How could I say no?" The black-haired girl raised her hand too. They all whooped and high-fived.

"But when would it be?" Salima asked, raising an eyebrow in thought. Jemma looked up in thought too.

"Hmmm.... Uh.... Why not Valentine's Day, and a few days after or before?? We could get eachother gifts!! It could be like a secret santa!" She said. The girls erupted into cheers again. The plan was on.
