Lonely Hearts

Chapter Seven

(In Riven's Room At Night)

Riven's eyes widened when he saw Musa tapping on his window, why would she be here at this time of night? Wasn't she angry with him for reading her diary?

Musa had a peculiar look to her face as if she was trying to hold in a laugh or something, Riven gulped down his fears of what she was about to do and slid the lock back so he could open the window for her, but before she could climb in he jumped out stealthy and closed the window behind him silently.

"What are you doing here?" he almost hissed at her, but instead decided that the first thing he had to do was say sorry. He never got the chance.

"Why did you read my diary? Was it that interesting?" she asked as if she wasn't angry with him.

"Ah…I guess it looked interesting" he said with a puzzled look on his face, was she going to torture him or what?

"Did you like what you read?" she asked as she sat down on the rim of his balcony and let the moon's glow brush across her body so he could see her better.

"Ah…I don't know…I was just curious…" he avoided her question with a stutter that was almost too cute for her to know he was avoiding her question.

Musa's eyes glared at him for a second but she quickly went back to looking innocent, so this was how he wanted it to be, well she had had enough.

"If you don't tell me if you liked what you read right now Im putting a truth spell on you!" she demanded with a hiss in her voice, and it didn't take long to realise that she was being serious.

Riven waved up his hands in front of him, "ok, look I read some stuff that I don't know how I felt about, It's still to confusing to think about" he said as he took a step back.

"What…did…you…read?" she asked him slowly as she clenched her fists in anger, didn't know how he felt about, sure he did.

"Just that you thought my name was Ribbon and that you were leaving soon, and that you loved me" he rushed the last one out hoping her hearing wasn't to good.

Musa actually had to give him credit for telling her everything, but she still wanted to know how he felt about all of this.

"Well if you don't know how you felt then I guess that's to bad" she said avoiding his gaze and looking out into the darkness.

Riven was speechless, she was just going to give up on wanting to know how he felt, why? Was it not that important to drag out from him?

"I guess this is goodbye, I'm leaving for home to tomorrow, Bye Riven" she said and left him standing there watching her wings carry her into the darkness back to Alfea.

She was leaving! What did he do now? How could he stop her without seeming like a complete idiot? Did she even want him to stop her?

(Musa's Room In The Morning)

Musa had finished packing her clothes into her suitcases and was now giving all her friends goodbye hugs. "The bus will pick me up from here and take me to the portal-station, I wish you could come, I'll miss you guys" Musa said hugging everyone as tears formed in her eyes.

"I can't believe he didn't stop you" Stella said angrily, "And now because of him you're leaving".

"But I'll be happy to go home and see everyone anyway" Musa told her as she started to carry her bags down the hall with them in trail with her trunks.

"If I see him I'll properly hurt him" Stella told her openly and with the tone of voice she had, Musa knew there would be no safety for Riven.

When they reached the bus and the driver starting putting her things in the holding compartment she gave them quick hugs and after a few sad words left them to watch her go.

(Riven At Alfea Just After Musa Left)

He ran into the dorm rooms and after giving a quick knock opened Musa's door, after everyone of the Winx girls realised it was him they started sighing as if wishing it were someone else, but just as he was about to speak Stella threw a very heavy shoe at him, that landed right on his shoulder.

"That is for breaking Musa's heart and making her leave us!" Stella cried angrily and threw another at him, which he managed to dodge in the knick or time.

"Musa's left? When? Where?" he asked in a rush and looked around, seeing an empty room.

"Not ten minutes ago, in a bus on her way to portal-station, Are you going…" Before Bloom could ask him anything he ran out of the room and after saying a quick prayer jumped on his hover-bike and speeded towards the portal-station.

(Will he make it in time? Or should I just be mean and make him to late to get to her? Wait and see for next chapter. P.S. What a cliffhanger)
