Chapter 4 – Picking Up The Broken Pieces

Pyrrha walked in a hurried, panicked pace. Her mind was a haphazard array of thoughts, emotions and voices.

Come on Pyrrha, you have to be the calm, strong girl you always are, the person everyone sees.

But that voice was quickly overwhelmed by other, stronger voices, yelling and screaming for her attention.

ERMERGERD JAUNE DOESN'T LIKE YOU…

ARGHHHHH YOU HATE VELVET…

She shook her head in disbelief, trying to clear her thoughts away. In her crazy state of mind, she realised that she had arrived at her dormitory door.

Pyrrha paused at the door knob, her scroll outstretched. No, Jaune would be back soon, and she couldn't face him. She would have to sleep somewhere else.

Come on Pyrrha, you've got to get it together. You'll have to confront him sooner or later. Why not confess?

Confessing is really not an option right now, she told herself, putting the scroll back into her pocket and walking away. The library would serve well. She may as well study. Well, at least try to.

Jaune was still very baffled as he walked down from the rooftop, being the dunce-head he was. He was even more baffled when he entered the room to find only Nora and Ren, who were still in their same spots from before, as if they hadn't moved for the last half hour.

"Hey Jaune!" Nora called, not looking up from her magazine, "How was training?"

Jaune sighed. "Tiring… and interesting…"

"Where's Pyrrha?" Ren asked, closing his book, "Shouldn't she be back with you? And why are you back so early?"

Of course, when Ren talks that much, there's certainly something very wrong or weird going on.

"Er… she said she didn't feel very well," he replied, scratching his forehead. "I asked her if she was alright but she didn't want to talk about it."

Ren raised his eyebrows and Nora looked up with a puzzled frown, discarding her magazine.

"Wait, so you're telling me that Pyrrha, the girl you've liked for ages-"

"W-what?" Jaune spluttered nervously, "W-wait, I-I…"

"-went away because she was upset, and you didn't say or do ANYTHING?" Nora exclaimed, sitting up. "You are such a dunce-head Jaune! I can't believe you!"

Jaune looked frightened by Nora's new terrifying personality.

"Men these days!" she continued on, with Ren raising his eyebrows again, "They never get hints! Never! They are so slow… unbelievable!"

She stood up with a loud thud.

"Jaune Arc! You had better start picking up the pieces! Right now! You go tell her, tell her everything, CONFESS!" Nora almost shouted, in a demanding voice, "Go up to her, and say it!"

By now, Nora had turned from the curious, bubbly girl to a menacing terror.

"W-what…" stammered Jaune, the blush on his cheeks growing. "B-but h-h-howww…"

She gave him a fierce look. "Just go. Follow your heart." With these final words, she forced him out of the room and shut the door behind him, locking it. Then she gave a loud sigh and flopped back onto her bed, repeating in a mutter, "Men these days… Never get hints… So slow…"

By now, Ren had sat up, and was looking at her with a new curiosity. "Nora… when you were talking about men, who were you referring to?"

"People," she mumbled back, sitting on the edge of her bed and pretending to be interested in it.

He knew where this was leading up to.

"Who exactly?" he asked, sitting on her bedside with her, looking at the magazine.

"Jaune…" she hiccoughed, pretending not to notice that anything was happening.

"Me?"

"Huh—what?" She looked at him with shock and disbelief in her wide eyes. She held the gaze for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into tears and hugged him tightly, crying on his shoulder. He accepted the embrace warmly and patted her on the back.

"You knew? The entire time?" she sobbed, squeezing him tightly.

Ren smiled warmly. "All these years."

She half-laughed, half-cried, but those tears turned into tears of joy. "I love you, Ren."

He was slightly surprised at those words, but his smile grew. "I love you too."

Jaune sighed as he tried to push at the door, but it would never budge. His scroll key wasn't working either, because Nora had locked the door for good.

"Guess I'd better face her," he mumbled to himself, walking down the corridor at a slow pace. "But how…"

He tried to think of different ways: the flirtatious, confident Jaune? The weak, dunce-head and apologetic Jaune? The unsure, nervous Jaune?

But then he remembered what she had said to him before:

"No ridiculous schemes, no pick-up lines. Just… be honest."

And that, was exactly what he needed to do.

Pyrrha gave a loud sigh of frustration as she closed the gigantic book shut with a loud thud. It wasn't working. Studying was making it even worse. The more she tried to forget about it and focus, the more she thought about her. It was like her brain was holding onto her tightly, never letting go…

Let it go… Let it go… Turn away and slam the door…

Never let me go, Never let me go… Never let me go, Never let me go…

She let out another sigh and stood up, pushing the chair back in. The library was almost completely empty, except for the last few stragglers hurrying to finish the homework they had procrastinated on. She put the heavy book back in its place on the dusty shelf, and hurried out of the library. She needed some fresh air.

And she knew the perfect place.

Jaune had looked all over the school in the dark evening. She wasn't in the school grounds, in the locker rooms, in the lecture theatres, the battle arena, the classrooms, the hallways, the cafeteria (which was closed anyways) or anywhere else that he looked. He was starting to get worried, and uneasy.

But then, a sudden idea popped into his mind, and then he knew exactly where she would be (with his gut feeling).

The place where it all started.

ERMERGERD I HAD TO PUT SOME RENORA AND I'M LIKE FANGIRLING BECAUSE IT'S SO CUTE :33333333333 Sorry, I know this chapter was EXTREMELY SHORT. But really, I think this story is going to be finishing up soon! I know, I know. I thought that it would've been one of those epically long 50,000+ stories with more than 30 chapters or something, but really I can't be bothered, and it's holidays right now, so better finish something and get started on another one! Anyways, hope you enjoyed: please follow, favourite and review! Thanks for the support!

Stay Sweet,
