Disclaimer: Don't own a thing
Okay I am so sorry for the late update only I ran out of ideas…for pretty much all my fics and I had exams, but now the most stressful four weeks of my life so far have ended and I plan on updating a lot more over the summer, cus I don't get to go anywhere this summer :(
Tell me what you think!
Pogue POV
Somehow I managed to get back to my apartment, I don't know how, since I left my bike at the garage and I was in no shape to drive after what I just saw. Kate's cheating on me? How could she? I've given that girl everything that she ever wanted, I loved her, hell I was going to marry her after college! All this time, all this time she's been lying to me, she's been fucking Ryan! How many guys has she done?!
Standing up I flung and energy ball at the mirror in my bathroom and watched it shatter into a thousand pieces. How could she do this to me!!
Normal POV
Syn walked into Gia's room and saw her sister being comforted by, a paint covered, Reid, a slight smile formed on her lips when she noticed that her sister really didn't care if she was covered in permanent marker, or in this case Acrylic paint that would be a bitch to get out of anything when dry, even with magic. It seemed all Gia really needed was to be held, and Reid was doing a very good job of the whole knight in shining armour thing. Instantly she knew that if anyone heard of Reid being kind and generous well then he would actually probably kill her, she cocked her head to the side for a moment before clearing her throat and walking over to her sister. "Hey sweetheart," wrapping her younger by ten minutes sister in a hug she locked eyes with Reid, 'thank you' she mouthed and Reid nodded knowing that they needed to be alone, when he felt something, a pulse of power, and instantly he knew it was Pogue. "I just remembered, there's something I gotta do, um…I'll see you later." Getting up Reid rushed out of the room before either of the girls could say anything.
Outside Reid's phone started ringing, he picked up not even having to check who it was, 'Caleb.' "Yeah?"
"Damnit Reid! You keep using like this it's going to kill you!"
Reid rolled his eyes at his 'fearless leaders' mistake, "It was Pogue."
"Our power is add- wait what?"
"It was Pogue, Kate's cheating on him and he found out, I'm going over there."
"Call Tyler, I'll meet you at his." Caleb hung up and Reid got into his silver Mercedes, (yes that's right, Reid does actually have a car!) he headed down to the little Italian restaurant he knew Tyler and Ann went to.
"Sweetie, Pogue's an ass," Ann hugged her sister as she sat on her bed absolutely miserable.
"But he was just so angry at me, I mean he hated me!" Gia protested.
"He called you a liar and accused you of trying to break him and his girlfriend up, when really you were just trying to help him, you don't get to cry over him. Okay?" Syn said, "He's gonna realise just how big of a mistake that he made and then he's going to be crawling back to you begging for forgiveness and you know what, you're going to make him work for it, you're going to forget all about him and you're not going to cry over him okay. You're strong, you'll get through this." Syn hugged her sister but in her heart she knew that Gia loved Pogue, really loved him, she was half cupid, she could feel these things and she didn't want to see her baby sister hurt, especially not by the boy she loved.
Meanwhile at Pogue's, Caleb, Tyler and Reid had managed to calm Pogue down, right now he was wallowing in self pity.
'How are we supposed to help him now?' Tyler asked mentally, directing the question at both boys.
Reid mentally shrugged 'I don't think we can, I think that now he needs to get through this on his own, I mean we'll be there for him, but he needs to be able to do this by himself. He has to heal his heart. At least now he's not using anymore.'
'Wow Reid, that actually not only made sense, but sounded like pretty good advice.' Caleb replied.
Reid shot the older boy a look and scowled, 'I can give good advice sometimes!'
Pogue's head shot up with his eyes wide, "Oh My God! Gia's going to be so upset! The things I said to her- oh man I was horrible to her and she was just trying to help me!" he grabbed his jacket and headed for the door, "I have to see her!"
Reid blocked the door and looked at him, "I don't really think that, that's a good idea, I was with Syn when Gia found her and she was crying and she looked really bad, I don't think you seeing her now would be the best thing for you or her, I mean neither of you are exactly in the condition to hold a full proper conversation. Besides I doubt very much so that Syn will let you see her, she doesn't let people hurt her sisters and get away with it. Anyway didn't she tell you that when you found out about Kate for yourself she didn't want you crawling back to her trying to make things right?"
At that Pogue's face fell, "You're right," he whispered, "she probably hates me now," he sat down on his couch and put his head in his hands, "This is so screwed up! My Girlfriend- ex-girlfriend is cheating on me, I yell at the one girl that really liked me for me instead of my money, she hates me, her sister, who I've heard has a killer right hook, absolutely hates me and will probably kill me the next time she sees me. Man can things get any worse?"
"Uh dude- you might not want to say that, because things tend to go real bad around here," Tyler said.
"And now I've just jinxed myself!" Pogue groaned and fell back onto his couch covering his eyes, "I'm so screwed up!"
It had been two days since the 'incident' as it had been labelled, Sarah refused to talk to Kate anymore, even though they were roommates, in fact Kate had started hanging out with Kyra Snyder and Ryan out in public. Gia wouldn't look at Pogue and he had yet to apologise to her, he just looked so sad every time he saw her. Of course both the girls and boys were trapped in the middle of this, neither Syn nor Ann would go anywhere near the Sons when Pogue was there and Caleb, Reid and Tyler couldn't just abandon Pogue when the girls were around so as a result Tyler and Ann hadn't spoken to each other in two days. Currently all of them were sitting in Physics, across the room from one another. Professor Jameson walked in and instantly noticed the tension in the room. With Kate sitting at the front with Kyra and Ryan, the Sons on the left side of the room and the girls on the other it would have been amazing if he couldn't have felt the tension. "Oooookaay, today class we're learning about the stars! My favourite topic!" Looking around again he sighed, "Right that's it you're all working in pairs!" Syn and Reid got put together, so did Pogue and Gia, Sarah ended up with Aaron, Tyler was lucky enough to go with Ann and Caleb somehow ended up with Kate who was sending withering glares in Syn's direction. "I'm going to tell Ann to swap with Gia," Syn said to Reid, "it's not like anyone's going to notice."
Reid grabbed her arm, "I think you should leave them, Pogue really wants to talk to her, he feels terrible."
"Yeah well he should, I don't care how in love he is with his ex, he had no right to treat my baby sister like that."
Reid wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her down to her seat and against his chest, "Let them talk," he whispered in her ear, "if it looks like Gia doesn't want to talk then you can get them to switch okay?"
Syn nodded and fought the urge to shiver as his lips brushed her ear, desperately she tried to pay attention to what Professor Jameson was saying but she was finding it extremely hard. Reid still had his arm around her waist and was tracing patterns along her side and stomach. "Fine," she breathed out.
Reid smirked, "You alright Syn?" he made sure to nuzzle her neck when the Professor wasn't looking.
Her quick intake of breath was enough to tell Reid that he was getting to her, if not for the fact that she answered him in a slightly shaky voice, "I'm fine."
"If you're sure." She could hear the laughter in his voice and pulled away from him, "Awe Syn, don't be like that." He slipped his hand up the back of her blouse and traced the tattoo she had on her lower back, "You know that tat is really sexy."
Syn was about to reply but was interrupted by a shriek of "How dare you!" from Kate, she was fuming and Caleb was looking at her with a smirk.
He looked over at the Professor with an innocent look on his face, "All I said was that she should get tested for STDs because Ryan's known to have slept with Kyra who we all know has slept with more guys than Cherry Carter." The Professor bit his tongue to keep from laughing out loud, but the rest of the class didn't, laughter rang out in the room and Kate sat down looking mortified.
"Now calm down class, calm down! How are you supposed to get any work done if you're all laughing so hard you're crying? What Mr Danvers said was not that funny." This only served to send the class into another fit of roaring laughter.
"So sis, I noticed you getting pretty comfortable with Garwin back there," Ann teased.
"I was not!" Syn protested she had her arm looped through Aaron's who now happened to be giving her an odd look.
"Oh save it, he was all over you, and you seemed to be enjoying it!" Gia said agreeing with her younger sister.
"Just because you two look the same doesn't mean you're allowed to gang up on me!"
"It totally does," Ann replied, "by the way G how was your talk with Pogue?"
"It was okay, he apologised like a million times, and said he'd do anything to make it up to me."
"And I take it you forgave him," Syn looked at her sister disapprovingly.
"I couldn't help it! He had those puppy dog eyes, and he looked so sad, I had to!"
"Yeah whatever," the older sibling mumbled. Suddenly she stopped and had her head in her hands, "Owwww! Fuck that hurts!"
"Syn, Syn what's wrong?" Aaron asked worriedly. Syn whimpered as she heard a loud rattling in her head. Gia noticed the attention they were getting from other students and hustled her sisters and friend into an empty classroom.
"Oww! Oww! Oww! Make it stop!" she moaned.
Aaron cupped her face in his hands and looked into her eyes. "What's wrong Syn, what's hurting you?"
"So loud," the girl mumbled, she sat down against the wall and brought her knees up, "God it hurts so much." The rattling had now turned into a pounding and was causing tears of pain to run down Syn's face. Ann was cradling her sister while Gia was on the phone calling her father, and not ten seconds later he appeared out of nowhere. Aaron pointed to him in shock and looked at Gia, "Who's that?"
"Our father," she said.
Coup ran to his daughter and placed his hands on her head, "Shh Syn, it's okay, you're okay," slowly the pounding turned into a dull ache, which allowed her to finally form coherent sentences.
"Dad? What are you doing here? What the hell happened to me? How'd we get in here?"
"Dad," Ann said looking up at her father, "What happened to Syn, and how'd you make it stop?"
"Oh he didn't make it stop, my head still hurts, just not as much," Syn said not taking her eyes from her father.
"Well sweetheart, girls," he turned to look at Gia, only then noticing that there was a boy standing next to her, "um…" he looked at all three of the girls and then back at the boy.
"Don't worry Dad, he knows about us." Gia said.
Coup raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything regarding the matter, "Right…well, you girls are all half cupid, and like half whitelighters, half cupids have duties. These are given out by our own council of I guess you could call them Elders. That pain in your head," he looked at his eldest, "that was them calling you, they think you're ready to handle all the duties being a cupid brings, and in order to do that you need pass a couple of tests. I'm supposed to take you up there to meet them now."
"Why hasn't it happened to us?" Ann asked, "I mean technically we're all exactly the same age."
"It has nothing to do with age, it's a question of whether they think you're ready for the responsibilities yet, and obviously they think Syn is." Coup replied.
"But I've got school, not to mention I'm on a scholarship I can't really just up and leave."
"The test won't take long, only a couple of days, the girls can tell the school you have food poisoning or something, but I have to take you now."
Syn nodded and Coup helped her stand up, he looked at Aaron again and then down at his daughter, "And we're definitely going to have to have a talk about who is allowed to know about us, you're Mom is going to be so pissed."
Please Review, tell me what you think.
