My very first fanfiction on my own account ^^ yay! Now I used human names …hopefully you know them. So with a little bit of boring-ness let's get this show on the road…shall we?
-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
Natalia's point
I'd been living with Irina* and Matthew for over a year now. I couldn't believe it's been one single year since Ivan choose Yao over me! ME! HOW could he! After I showed him my love? I stared out the window with complete rage. We were perfect for each other why couldn't he see it? If he would've just married me I could prove to him I could be a loving wife!
"Natalia, sister please get away from the window…you'll scare the children again..." my sister loved to watch them play their stupid games…I noticed her stomach was larger…it had been a while since she had her first child in our junior year. Luckily she was with the same guy…they made such a pretty couple of kids they had three so far one boy and two girls. None of which liked me…they all preferred 'Uncle Yao'.
"Like I care…little brats…" for my own amusement I shot a glare out the window which when as planned the kids ran back to their homes leaving Kalyna* to come back in crying to Irina.
"Mommy….sh-she did it…" little Kalyna was overcome by tears to even finish her sentence. She buried her head into her mother's side.
"Shhh…there there…." It was always surprising how well she handled younger children. She was patting her back or rubbing her back "it's ok…she didn't mean it…."
"Oh! To hell I didn't!" Irina glared at me then.
"Natalia! We don't swear in this house!" she put her hands on her hips. How menacing it would've been if I were three. I couldn't help but laugh.
"I'll just be leaving…" I walked to the door and fumbled with the locks. Why did Matthew have to be so over-protective of his children?
"Natalia, please don't go to Ivan…you know he's happily in love with Yao…if you and Arthur didn't fight so much maybe you'd be happy just like them…" she was trying to make me feel guilty well to bad for her but I wouldn't fall for it this time.
"You don't even know the half of why Arthur and I haven't worked out…" I managed to get the final lock open
"Please for your own good leave Ivan alone…" she was by the phone I assumed to give Ivan the heads up that I was leaving
"I'm going for a walk…oh Kalyna ask mommy what hell means" oh how wonderful this would be to listen to…to bad I don't want to stick around to sit through an annoying guilt trip.
Arthur's point
I was at home…I really wish was alone but no…I have to be in my sitting room drinking tea with Alfred and his boyfriend, Kiku. "So what brings you two here?" I thought I made it obvious that I didn't want to see Alfred again…he was loud and rude…my neighbors had complained once before.
"Well…you see Arthur…dude…we wanted to invite you to our wedding…" I had a swallowed my tea which as Alfred would say 'went down the wrong pipe' causing me to choke. "You ok?"
"No…" I started coughing again "I drink my tea like this all the time…OF COURSE I'M NOT OK!"
"Chill out, Arthur…" he put his hands up palms facing away from him as if that was supposed to calm me down.
"How the hell are you two going to get married?" I couldn't believe my adopted brother was getting married before I was and his wasn't even marrying a GIRL!
"I think it works the same way as the straight marriages do on T.V."
"Please do not fight…." Kiku always started panicking when we would argue.
"Look, Kiku, you can say don't…" Alfred gave him the "it's annoying when you do that look" "besides I wanted English dude to know we're getting married he's invited and…oh yeah before he did!" his laughter was irritating I just wanted to strangle him
"HOW DARE YOU COME INTO MY HOME JUST TO RUB THAT IN MY FACE!" I made a lunge at him over my small coffee table knocking the tray of crumpets and the tea to fall off "I SHOULD RING YOUR NECK! YOU BLOODY ANNOYING TWIT!" Kiku got in the way
"Let's go, Alfred…" he gently pushed Alfred towards the door
"No…come on you filthy Brit…." He put his fists up "let's settle this like real men" I collected myself knowing I would most likely be the one in the hospital.
"Alfred, just piss off…" I waved my hand before I bent down to clean up the mess I made.
"Let's go, Alfred…please…" Kiku was tugging on Alfred's sleeve I could see that through the mirror on the wall in front of me. Alfred let out a sigh. "Please?"
"Before you go…I'm engaged as well…" I put everything in the trash seeing as they broke when they met the tile floor. Grabbing a roll of paper towels I bent down again to clean up the tea.
"Oh? Really congratulations…." Kiku was the one who would be pleased with this.
"Bull…wait is it the ugly lady next door or is it Francis?" Alfred clearly still wanted to have the fight
"No…I would never…" I came back from putting everything where it needed to go.
"Then who? Who is it? Who could you possibly be engaged to?" I said the first name that came to mind
"Natalia…Natalia Arlovskaya" her name slipped off my tongue as easily as if the word were English.
"Who?" I win. Alfred didn't remember her which was good for me. It made this lie a bit easier.
"Ivan's younger sister? Do you remember her? From our academy high school days? I used to date her then we broke up and got together again…" as if jogging his mind would help…stupid American.
"The insane girl…liked stalking her brother….loved those little knives? In our grade…Dark blonde hair…" Dammit! Kiku remembered her I was hoping he wouldn't!
"Oh! The creepy chick…man Arthur…your screwed…well best of luck" they left…now how in god's name did I explain that to her? Hell how would I find her? Was her number the same? Where'd she live? Was she in a mental hospital? Did she remember me? Would she accept or would she want to kill me? It's not like we ended our high school romance on the best of terms…she wasn't happy that I couldn't bring myself to go to the next level in our relationship…it's not my fault children scare the freaking pants off of me…
After an hour of pacing and picking up the phone and hanging up again I had managed to get the courage to call her…if not I'd call Matthew…he'd know…he's married to her sister after all…but I wasn't sure if their marriage lasted…
Natalia's point
It was a cool spring day. The flowers were blooming reviling their beauty that had been hidden all winter and earlier this season. I was walking to the park Arthur and I would meet near before we went on our dates…now that I think about it…it was days like today that we would plan our dates…but all we really did was walk, go to a movie or go to a concert. I didn't know why I was walking there maybe I thought it would take my mind off of things…it didn't I saw a few couples on benches and by the trees heck even one of the couples had a kid…a little girl about Kalyna's age. They looked happy I wanted to cry. Arthur and I broke up whenever I'd bring up having a child I mean Irina and Matthew looked so happy with their children. Couldn't we with our own? You could say I was envious but I couldn't help it…maybe I'm just a depressed lunatic who deserved being locked away from the rest of society…I continued walking trying to find somewhere I could hide away from everyone.
It took a few minutes but I finally did…the bench Arthur and I carved our names in…well I carved our names in and made him laugh…I started crying then. I'm Natalia Arlovskaya and I'm crying like Irina did after someone was mean to her. I don't know how long I had been sobbing when I heard my phone ring. I didn't recognize the ring tone at first thinking it wasn't someone I knew I was about to let it go to voicemail. When I pulled it out of my pocket maybe Irina's new phone came in and she was worried about me. I looked at caller id I think I went into a little bit of shock I recognized the number. It's Arthur! I could've jumped for joy but I quickly collected myself and answered the call.
"What do you want, Arthur?" I didn't want him to think I forgave him. I mean he dumped me in front of our entire class!
Arthur's point
I really hoped she wasn't still mad at me for the whole break up in front of the school twice thing…I felt like a jackass thinking back on it…maybe she won't pick up and I don't have to talk to her at all…that's when I heard her voice oh she sounded angry…maybe I could hang up….
"Arthur? Are you going to say anything or not?" she still remembered me…well that's a relief…I think…
"Ummm….hi…" I mentally kicked myself…yeah cool approach was going to work…the last time I did that she sent ice cold daggers out of her eyes…not literally…but it sure as hell felt like it.
"Cut to the chase. Arthur…" boy she wasn't going to make this easy for me…
"Look, Natalia…I want to say I am sorry for being ah…ummm….ah…a-an-an…" I couldn't think of a good word…
"A fucking god dammed worthless piece of trash? An asshole or a jackass?" she really didn't make this an easy conversation to have.
"Yeah…I guess any of those work…look I'm sorry…I miss you…"
"You had your chance, dumbass…unless you want to cut the crap and tell me why you called?" I felt sweat develop on my forehead, the heat on my back as I let out a long sigh.
"Natalia, I realize you hate my guts…and you might want to kill me…but I told Alfred that you and I were engaged…" I waited for her response hopefully she won't yell…
Natalia's point
Engaged…engaged! Why the hell would he say that! Oh how I wanted to yell at him and hit him! "YOU DID WHAT?"
"How about we talk about this at the park we used to meet at? By the bench near the lake…and discuss this like the adults we are?" he sounded far away…I didn't realize I was that loud…oops…oh well he deserved it…
"I'm already there…I was taking a walk…" I quickly explained myself. It's not like he'll care…
"Really? So you still live in the city?" he's happy about this because? Never mind I wouldn't ask…it would be a waste of time…
"Yes…why do you care?" I was getting annoyed with the conversation…but I was happy at the same time…why? Why can't I just hate him and get over him!
"That's good news I'll see you in a bit" he hung up. I really considered going back home…but if he still remembered my number he would probably call again until I showed up.

*Irina is Ukraine
*Kalyna I believe means Guelder rose shrub.
So I'm bad at updating (you could ask any of my friends they'd tell you I am) and I'm trying to write a story alone for the first time in a while. I'm sorry if this is bad I'm trying. Sorry that this is kinda short. Please let me know about mistakes and if it's a good start. XD I'll dance as much as I know of bad apple or love & joy if I get a review.
