General POV
"So your name is Rids huh?" Dude do you remember us?" Leo enthusiastically pulls Aeris towards him and leaves the arm around Aeris, which, by reaction, caused Aeris to punch Leo directly to the face. Aeris shook herself out of Leo's grip and walked out of Rids' hospital room. Leo heard the door slam shut and tried to slowly recover from the pain his face just encountered, "I wonder if I really did piss her off." Leo then proceeds to leave the room leaving only Rids behind slowly recovering. "Ugh my stomach it really makes me think, who was that? Why did I get shot? What is Star gonna say about this?" All these questions began to flow into Rids mind. "I find this rather interesting, I'm stuck here in a fucking hospital! Slowly recovering while Star is at home probably worried," Rids stays silent for a second recounting his thoughts and examines the room. "I swear this fancy hospital is gonna so fucking expensive, better call Star then and tell her I'm here..." Rids takes out his phone begins typing the numbers, 416-308-2012 (inside joke between me and my girlfriend).
Outside Rids hospital room (Leo's POV)
Huh, why is Aeris acting like this, I wonder what's going on. I ran up to and reached over to her shoulder and turned her around.
"Hey what's a matter."
"Nothing," Aeris crosses her arms and looks away from me.
"Are you sure because you don't seem like you are okay...oh I get it," I look around and make sure no one is around and asked, "Are you on your period?"
"NOOO! Ugh You are so fucking annoying! You always disturb me and you always criticize my things! EVERY FUCKING LITTLE THING. YOU MAKE MY LIFE AWFUL!"
…...Everything...My life...and especially my heart broke to million pieces.
"I never knew you just hated me like that, you know its ok *sniff* I'll just leave now." I began to walk and I heard Aeris start following me.
"Leo... I didn't mean it" She grabs a hold of my arm.
"Save it... I don't want to hear it... I heard enough." I shook free from her grasp and gave her an upset look. I had tears... I don't want her to see me this way.
"Leo..."
I slowly walked out of the hospital with my tail dragging on the floor.
"I didn't mean it," I hear Aeris say under her breath from behind me.
As I continued walking home tears began to fall, my hands in my pockets, constantly checking my phone I recollected all my thoughts and learned that all this time, no one in the world will love me for only the only one in the world to actually love me is...me...
"Why Aeris Why... Why?" My voice slowly drowned in my tears as I began to go crazy with my emotions causing me to argue with myself, "Who needs her... thats not how I feel about her... I love her... But she doesn't love you... Yeah she does! she has lived with me since we were 19... A measly 2 years doesn't mean anything Leo...I know..."
I looked at the starry night thinking of Aeris and how we don't belong. Something tells me that Rids will have something to do with Aeris' problem.
Aeris' POV
Why did I say that to him. I just wasn't feeling like myself. Yet that's no excuse for what I just said... *sigh* Now what... I turn around and see Rids right behind me... My mind went blank for a second just staring at his eyes then I regain consciousness and got on my knees and looked to the floor. "What are you doing here out of your room?"
"Well, your guys' argument could've been heard throughout the whole hospital," he says.
I turn and see many nurses listening to us. I made eye contact with one and looked away and blushed in embarrassment. "I see what you mean." I looked back to Rids who held out his hand, and helped me up.
"Aeris, could you do me a favor of coming into my room for a sec." Rids walked back into his room and slowly followed behind him.
I helped him onto his bed, and we talked about how our lives had been, basically we caught up. We haven't seen each other since grade school, well especially after an incident from years past.
"What really now so you leaving Toronto?" I have known Rids since 5th grade and after 10 years he is leaving Toronto...
"Yeah, I always wanted to leave my hometown and explore the world maybe even hit the United States." He gave such a weird smile it made me chuckle slightly.
"So when are you planning to leaving."
"Not soon heh."
"Ok you got a place to stay?"
"Yeah, but if you want I could visit."
"Well, Leo and I both live in an apartment in Toronto Villas."
"Really I live there too what apartment number?"
"38"
"Whoa mines 36 cool."
"Here's my number" Rids hands me a slip of paper with his number and a note on the back.
The note read, you were really cute when you were younger.
I respond "No I wasn't," I blushed so hard my fur turned red instead of its pink.
"Yes you were and you still are." He smiles and pats my shoulder.
I have never smiled so much in my life until now, "So I'll be seeing you around Rids."
"Alright later."
I opened the door and took a step outside. I turned my head to look at Rids who was also making eye contact with me, I smiled and blew him a kiss and walked out of the room.
He is still the same sweetheart from grade school, not like other perverted bastards now a days.
I remembered that Leo walked in the direction to the apartment...Just thinking of what I did to Leo... Makes my heart hurt.
Leo's POV
I finally arrived from the hospital with some detours like visiting some friends and went to gamestop, and as well as eating some of that huge I wished with the monkey paw. Looks like I'm going to have to find someone to talk to besides my friends. I decided to go to the park and stroll around while I slowly burn myself out. And I found a girl crying on a bench. I went up and asked what's wrong. She said her boyfriend yelled at her and she ran from him.
Why does this sound so familiar…..oh yeah the same happened to me but I didn't run I walked and me and Aeris aren't going out and she was the one yelling, not me. I replied, "It will get better eventually," she smiled and left.
I felt good helping her out through this small problem. Then it struck me... I checked my phone for the date. It's only a couple days off of Valentines, I'll make her be my Valentine! I fist pumped for 10 minutes and sped off back to the apartment.
General POV
So while Leo was heading back to the apartment Aeris was already there. She decided to wait for Leo's return, but in the meanwhile, Aeris looks for something to do and then the despicable event happens! Aeris decided playing video games would be a good way to spend the time waiting for her friend. As she continued gaming, a fellow in black suffocates her and kidnaps her.
Leo where the hell are you?
