Lonely Hearts
Chapter Five
(Still On Musa's Bedroom Balcony)
"Wait!" Came Riven's rushed voice as she was stepping into her room. Musa turned to find him trying to get up to stop her from leaving. She hurried to help him so he wouldn't fall off the balcony.
"Riven! What are you trying to do? Kill yourself?" she demanded as she helped him up, putting his arms around her shoulders as she helped him limp into her room where he could sit down.
Silence was deafening when he was finally seated and Musa felt uncomfortable waiting for him to speak, wishing him to speak.
"Do you want me to get the Professor to heal you Riven? You look in pain" she told him as she moved awkwardly to the door.
"Wait I...I..." he couldn't help but stumble over his words as he avoided her gaze. Musa took a deep breath and decided to be patient.
"I want to apologise for being rude before" he told her finally and immediately went red from embarrassment.
"Ah well... Thanks I guess" she stuttered as she thought about what to do.
"I'm going to get the Professor then once you're healed you can get some rest" she said and before he could protest at her trying to leave again she ran out the door and left him in the emptiness of her room.
(Riven Alone In Musa's Room)
Riven looked around Musa's room. It was just as he'd pictured it, if a little different.
The main colours were blue and red, her guitar and stereo leaning against a wall by her bed and a selection of shoes were placed next her table cluttered with music papers and hair products. But the thing that caught his eye was a thick blue book that was on the middle of the table. It must be her diary.
He felt compelled to just have a quick flip through it, and his curiosity got the better of him when he thought that maybe she had written about him in it.
He hopped over to the table and hesitated when his hand was just inches from opening the book, he took a quick look around then flipped open the first few pages.

Well I guess today was kind of eventful, I had my first music practice on stage, and everyone thought I was really good. Especially my music partner Robert. He is so cute, but I think he might be a player...
Riven found he couldn't stand this Robert guy so he flicked over a few dozen pages.

Wow! I can't believe that I live at Alfea it's so cool, And not far from Red Fountain where all the specialists are. We have a dance with them next Monday. I can't wait, I haven't met any of the specialists but I heard there's a prince there. Well. Laterz.
Riven flipped over to the Monday night of the party, and read on.
Dear Diary

I think I'm in love! All the guys are so cute. There was a totally weird broody guy that didn't dance with anyone, I think his names Ribbon or Raven, anyway he would have been cute if he wasn't so mean to all the girls. Thank goodness Justin asked me to dance he was really cute...
Riven couldn't help but feel hurt at the fact she said he was mean, even though he knew he was. And that she thought his name was Ribbon, She was obviously unaware that he had looked at her that night, well for a little while at-least. He decided to go to the few days before they went looking for the troll.
Dear Diary
18th September 2001
I saw Riven with Darcy again today. Why can't he be like that with me, even if he was under the spell. To think that I thought he cared about me. At least I'll be going home soon, I can't wait to leave here. I mean even if I did love him I don't anymore so...
He couldn't read anymore when he read about her loving him, and moving? Why didn't he know about that? How could he be such an ass.
He decided to read more just as the door opened and Musa stepped through it, "What. Are. You. Doing!" she demanded angrily as she walked up and shut her diary then proceeded to yell at him.
