Hey everyone, it's AZF! In response to the (TWO.) reviews I received...

Coraldawn: Yes, I know. But you have to wait in suspense like everyone else. :) equality isn't always fun...

HeatherDiamond: AAAAA whoops I thought your OC's name was HeatherDiamond. Sorry! And no. That's too bloody. But there will be METAPHORICAL explosions... ;)

OMG Lionblaze cheated on Cinderheart? . Yessssss. Yessssssss! MUAHAHAHA-sorry, evil laugh moment. Anyway, ONWARD!


CINDERHEART

I find a stone bench and sit. And only then do I let it out. Tears pour down my face. My heart feels torn in half.

Lionblaze, how could you? My being ill is no excuse for you to cheat with Ambermoon! I loved you so much... and you broke my heart. Even without meaning to.

I swear to StarClan (StarClan?!) I WILL GET REVENGE.

"Cinderheart?" Ugh. Lionblaze.

"Go. AWAY. You cheated, I caught you, so you obviously are tired of me. I won't stand in Ambermoon's way. We're done, Lionblaze. I don't want to ever speak to you again."

I spit this to his face.

"But I didn't know you were awake. I was desperate. I love YOU, Cinder! And I'm sorry!" He's trying to make amends. (I still love him. Always will; nothing can change that. But he cheated. So he obviously doesn't feel the same.) I feel a tiny bit bad for the cheater, but I refuse to soften for a little bit of guilt. "No. You don't. Goodbye, Lionblaze. You have no right to call me Cinder anymore. That name belongs to my FRIENDS. And you are not my friend. GET OUT!"

Tears are spilling down his cheeks. His face must resemble mine: red, blotchy, full of heartbreak and betrayal. But also determination. "Then I'll show you how I feel. Meet me tonight at your dorm. 8pm. ALONE. We need to talk."

He walks away before I can respond.

Fine. But just once.


Frostgaze, aka HeatherDiamond

Word is that Lionblaze and Cinderheart have broken up.

Girls are all over Lion in the halls and vice versa for Cinderheart. Neither seem interested in a new relationship. And Ambermoon is still trailing Lionblaze and talking to him like they're still dating, when she's the REASON FOR THIS MESS! I'll go talk to Lion later about Cinderheart. I don't love Lionblaze like all the other girls. But I'm just willing to be there for him when he needs me. As a friend. I flag him to a nearby bench (he's walking by, surrounded by girls as usual. )

"Lionblaze. We need to talk. Take a seat."

He sits.

"No, I will not be your boyfriend, no I don't like you like that, no, I won't consider it, and NO, Cinderheart and I are not finished!"

Whoa.

"I just want to talk. Tell me everything."

And he does.

From her stabbing to Ambermoon's secret to Cinderheart finding them in the grass to their breakup to the promise of the meeting tonight of the two of them.

"Wow. That's a lot, Lion. Just show her you didn't mean to. Tell her why. Get her to open up. Let her know you-OH SHOOT GOT TO GO TO SWIM PRACTICE BE YOURSELF LOVE YOU BABY BYE!"

(I tell him that it's for the sake of his life that I call him Baby. THE FEMALES ARE CLOSING IN and at my words of "love you, baby", they disperse. Phew.)

I get up and say goodbye.

"Don't worry. Deep down, she still loves you."


HOLLYLEAF

I will KILL Lionblaze.

He ripped my best friend's heart out even if he still DOES love her and left her in the dust.

Wow. Just wow. Way to go, little bro. You may have just put Cinderheart with Heathertail on this one.

Cinderheart says you're supposed to meet her tonight. I'll leave so you can be alone. Don't let her down this time, Lion. Or you will be dead within three seconds of the fateful words.

When I see you later, I am going to have a screaming session. At your face.

Sorry, bro, but you deserve it.


That Night, Cinderheart's POV

I agreed to meet him, even:

When he tore my heart in two.

After kissing some strange girl.

In public.

Right after my hospital release.

"Cinderheart. Good, you're here. There's something I need to say.

"I'm sorry. You're amazing and sweet and funny and I love you. I didn't think I could do without you and I was considering suicide. Ambermoon came up to me, not the other way around, and asked to be my temporary girlfriend. I didn't want to, but she kissed me and forced me to say yes. And you know what happened next."

Oh.

Maybe I do have reason to forgive him.

But not right away.

"Yes, I do. And it tore my heart in half. You knew it would hurt me but you still did it. And I still love you. I always will. So when I saw you kissing Ambermoon, it hurt. A lot."

I think he stopped listening when I said I loved him.

He kisses me on the cheek. "I'm really sorry, Cinderheart. Please be my girlfriend, and I swear to StarClan (StarClan?!) I will never cheat again."

That's all I needed to hear. I kiss him full on the lips.

"Apology accepted. I will gladly be your girlfriend."

after the meeting

My heart is whole again.


Hey everyone, it's Azureflower again! Wow, they got back together fast. Now how to kill off Ambermoon... suggestions?

AZUREFLOWER OUT!
