I can't believe I said that, I'm not surprised she'd rather go back to Paris. I'm such a jerk, she was upset. I should have just explained to her that I'd even give up my job just to follow her to Pairs, or that the picture on my laptop was of Jess; a friend of mine that had died on the job a year back. I should have made the point that she was family now anyway and that the way I felt about her would outrun my feelings for anyone else ever again. But no, I was cruel.
I sat on the sofa, rubbing my temples with my fingers. Feeling rather stressed, my heart ached and I wanted to kick myself. When I heard some cars pull into the drive, I strode up the stairs and into my bedroom. Shutting the door behind myself, I fell down on my computer desk chair and let my head fall backwards; staring at the ceiling. What can I do? I know I can say sorry, I have to but that's not enough to convince her we're great together and that she's second best to no-one. I could send her flowers, a 100 dozen bouquets? No, from what I know about her she doesn't particularly like too many flowers. I could give her chocolate but she wouldn't eat it, it was a struggle getting her to eat much of anything and none of it contained over 0.5g of saturated fat.
"Victor, we're back" Zed shouted up, well duhh. I sat up and stared at my laptop, wait. She must have seen the picture of Jess, what was she doing on my computer? I opened it up, opened Google Chrome history and clicked on the last one. It brought up an email, she didn't log out? Did she do that purposely or just assume I wouldn't pry into stuff she didn't want me to know. I felt a bit bad then, if I read this then she might be even angrier with me. Sky burst through the door,
"What's wrong?" she asked; a worried look on her face. Zed came too, not looking as serious. He perched on my bed, staring at us; just waiting for the scene to unfold.
"I...may have had a sort of argument with Marley" I muttered bitterly, staring at the keyboard.
"Why?" she asked, she placed her hand on my shoulder reassuringly.
"She was really upset and wouldn't tell me why, so I used my power and she got angry. Then I sort of made things worse by insulting her" I muttered sheepishly,
"Wow bro, harsh." Zed muttered, I shot him a glare.
"Don't you think I know that?"
"Stop it both of you, look. What was she so upset about?" Sky asked, I sighed and looked back at the desktop. The email was from her step-mom,
"This email apparently, I can't bring myself to be so nosey. Reading it is invading her personal stuff" I replied,
"Right, well I'm not so modest" Sky smirked, she picked up the laptop; pulled the charger socket out and dropped it on the desk before sitting on the bed next to Zed. She began to read, I felt anxious. Very anxious, was this as bad as actually reading it? I frowned, I didn't want to know. Of course you want to know!
"How long does it take?" I snapped,
"Calm it Vick, you don't speak to her like that" Zed barked,
"Both of you, heel. I'm done" Sky ordered, yes ma'am. Zed took the laptop off her, "Do you want to know?" she asked; I bit my lip and sucked in a breath.
"No, I can't." YES!
"Alright, I'm going to go down to her house and see if she's alright. We'll talk, don't worry. I'm sure she'll come around" Sky reassured me, I didn't like the idea of sending her instead of myself. I didn't want her to think I was being a coward,
"Maybe I should come with" I said, standing up.
"No, I need her trust. She'll talk to me, I promise you" Sky told me, I frowned.
"We'll go bake a cake or something Vick, I'm sure she'll appreciate it even if she won't eat any" Zed smirked, standing up as well. I take it I'm not the only one who noticed her dislike in eating.
"Great, I'll text you when you two should come round." With that, she was gone. Should I warn Marley, send her a telepathic message?
"Don't worry Vick, c'mon."
