Vriska's POV:

Days turned into weeks, which quickly turned into months. From the moment that I slammed the door in Kanaya's face, I had put on a brave face, plastering a fake smile on and trudging through the days. No, I didn't pick up that retched blade again, but just because I haven' t cut, doesn't mean I'm happy. Im far from it, still hurting from Kanaya's betrayel.

I glance over at the girl, quickly looking away when I caught her watching me. I could practically feel the hurt and confusion pulsing from her, but I refused to feel guilty. No...no wait, scratch that. I'd love to feel guilty, but I don't seem able to feel anything anymore. Ah, well.

I cautiously chance another look at her and am relieved to find her attention was, once again, focused on her book. I stared at her facez studying it. She was so beautiful; I wish she knew that. A painful tug in my heart and I quickly looked down at my hands instead.

There was silence for awhile. Nowadays, it seemed that we never talked. It made me want to scream, just listening to nothing. All day, everyday. Ugh.

So that's why I didn't expect it when the sound of someone clearin their throat filled the room. My gaze shot up and locked onto the source, jerking away just as quickly.

"...Can we talk?" Kanaya's soft voice echoed in my head.

"Alright." I mumbled quietly. And then that damned silence returned for a momnt.

"Let's go for a walk." She suggested. I shruged, giving a jerky nod of my head before straitening up and heading for the door, soft footsteps following suit.

Into the woods we went, following a skinny path, the moss spongy under our feet. We walked for awhile before either of us spoke.

"Vris, we used to be so close, then, all of sudden..." Her voice trailed off. She swallowed before continuing. "What happened?..." I dragged my feet, shoving my hands deep into my pockets.

"Nothing happened." I said dully. Kanaya gave a disbelieving snort. I sighed in defeat and exaughstion. In a very small, very quiet voice, I gave in. "You broke me."

Kanaya's POV:

Shocked, I opened my mouth, about to demand what the hell she was talking about, before snapping it shut again, thinking hard. Okay; Vriska started becoming distant after Rose came over...what could have happened during that time that could destroy Vris like this? And suddenly, it was obvious. And I groaned. And I felt guilty. I fell silent, one of those sad silences, and shut my thoughts down.

Neither of us spoke. I didn't know what to say, and she didn't want to say anything.

A sudden, overwhelming need to touch the broken angel next to me encouraged me to strech my hand out, clutching hers and entwining our fingers. She stiffened, and I could practically feel the pain radating off of her.

"Vris, darling, I...I'm so sorry! I don't know what I was feeling, but It's you who I love, and being distant from you for so long is killing me. I do not love Rose. I love you, Vriska, please, I need you." My voice trailed off, waiting, hoping, but the other girl showed no reaction. I took a deep breath, continuing shakily.

"Can we start over? Can we put this behind us? Can I have a second chance, to prove to you thay I love you, that I care, that I can be trusted?" I paused, gulping nervously. "Will you open your heart and let me in, just one more time?" We lapsed into silence, and I felt my hope slowly drain away as Vriska still showed zero signs of emotion.

Then I felt pressure on my hand, still connected with hers. I squeezed back.

Maybe we'll be okay after all.

Alright guys, short chapter, I know, I know, but I wanted to get something up faster, because the last couple chapter wer kinda dark *whispers* I like drama shhhh don't judge me!

So...should I continue, or make one last chapter and finish it off? You guys choose; I dunno. But,
