Rain walked down the stairs, her hands full of her and her mother's bags that were packed for the weekend. The blue haired girl set the bags at the end of the stairs, her blue eyes searching for her mother. She had seen no sign of Bora and wanted to get out of the house as soon as possible. She wasn't sure if Juvia had brought up the subject to the man, but Rain wasn't about to take that chance. She knew better. They needed to escape, and this was the time to do it. Rain walked into the living room, eyeing Juvia on the couch, her hands folded neatly together in her lap.
"Mom… what are you doing in here? I thought you were getting your jacket so we could leave?"
Juvia looked up to her daughter, a smile on her face. Her eyes were empty, even though she recognized her own flesh and blood. "Rain, sweetie… what are you talking about?"
Rains' eyebrows crossed slightly as she made her way over to Juvia, sitting down beside her. "You said we could go to the party Lucy was throwing tonight. We were going back home to visit Finn… don't you remember?"
"Oh, Rain… Bora said that I was not allowed to leave this weekend. He had something special planned."
"Mom… please… we have to go. Now! Before he shows up…. Please… just come with me. He doesn't know where dads' house is so he'll never find us."
Juvia looked at her daughter, confusion in her voice. "Honey, this is our home. Why would we want to leave it?"
Rain stood quickly. "Do you not see what he's done to you?! He's completely made you forget all about dad and probably Finn soon! Please let's just go! I can't just leave you here! Mom…." Rain kneeled down in front of her mother, her hands grasping the water mages. Rains' blue eyes began to fill with tears out of fear. "I don't want to see you get hurt by this crazy man… please just… come home with me. We'll be safer there…. I'm begging you to leave with me."
Juvia smiled as she moved a hand to Rains blue hair, running it down slowly. "Sweetie, I'm perfectly safe and content where I'm at. And you should feel the same. There's nothing to worry about while we are in Boras' caring and loving hands."
Rain stared back at her mother, the ice mages words unable to form. She had lost her mother to this man. She was no longer Juvia. She was under his control completely. Rain shut her eyes tightly as she hung her head. 'I have to get to dad… but I can't just leave mom. What can I do? What should I do?!'
Rain slowly looked back up to her mother, a smile was still over Juvia's' face as she looked down at her daughter. "Mom… I'm taking you with me. I don't care what he told you. I have to get you out of here by any means necessary! If that means dragging you out to the car, then so be it! It's time I stood up to him… I'm not going to let him take you from me."
Juvia closed her eyes softly. "That's so nice sweetie, but I'm afraid I'm not allowed to leave this spot."
Rain stood slowly, letting her mother's hand go. "I'm going to put our bags in the car and then I'm coming back to get you." The ice mage turned and headed back for their bags. Rain could sense something wasn't right. Something deep within her told her this was too quiet. Where the hell was Bora? Rain stood in the doorway of the living room and foyer, her eyes scanning the area. Once the coast was clear, her eyes looked to the two bags at the end of the stairs. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest. 'I don't know where he is… so I have to make this quick.'
The young ice mage ran to the bags, reaching down quickly for the handles.
"Where do you think you're going Rain?"
Rain's body shook as her eyes went wide. Her hand was inches away from the handle of her bag. The girl stood up straight slowly, clenching her fists tightly, hoping he would not see her fear as she turned around slowly. Bora was standing in the doorway to the dining room, a crooked smile over his lips as his arms were crossed lightly over his chest. Rain swallowed hard as she stared back at the man. "I'm taking my mom back home to the party a friend is throwing for us."
Bora pushed off from the wall he was leaning on and stepped forward towards Rain. "Oh, you are… are you?"
Rain watched as he made his way closer to her as he spoke, her own feet starting to shift towards the front door, some feet away. "I do remember your mother mentioning something about leaving… but I told her that wasn't a good idea. So she is staying home… with the two of us."
Rain kept facing Bora as she walked backwards, slowly making her way to the front door. "We are leaving. And there's nothing you can do to stop us. I know what you are doing… I've slowly started to figure it out. But now that I know… I'm going to tell someone about you."
Bora smirked as his eyes narrowed. "Oh, you have? So you know that there's nothing you can do to prove what I've done? There's no physical evidence you know. Not to mention, you wouldn't want to do anything to jeopardize your brothers schooling? Would you?"
Rain glared back at Bora, her body shaking uncontrollably out of fear and anger. "My dad said he would put Finn through school if he had to!"
Bora let out a laugh. "There's no way that pathetic excuse of a man could put Finn through school!"
Rain could feel her blood boiling as he spoke about her father. "Don't talk about my dad like that!" She said quickly as she thrust an arm forward, sending an ice shard towards Bora. The man laughed as he dodged it easily. Rain turned on her heels, wanting to get to her mother quickly.
Bora reached out and grabbed the young girl by the arm, pulling her back to him. Rains' head snapped back towards him, her free hand grasping his wrist. She attempted to free herself from his grip. "Let me go! Let me go you creep!"
Bora grinned, showing off his white teeth to the girl as his eyes narrowed, a dark shade forming around his face. "I don't think so Rain. Besides, that attack was not so nice… I think your mother would hate to hear what you've done."
Rain could feel her tears falling down her cheeks out of fear. She struggled in his grasp. "I'm leaving with my mother! And there's nothing you can do that will stop me!"
Bora laughed as he held her in place. He waited until he was finished laughing before pulling the girl in close to his face, his eyes wide. "And pray tell, what is it that you can do to stop me, little girl?! I can see the fear inside of you. You've always been so scared of me. And with good reason. We both know there's nothing you can do to escape me or this house!"
Rains' jaw clenched tightly at his words. 'I have to try! I have to do something else to free myself from this crazed man!' The ice mage glanced over to her free hand that held onto Boras' wrist. Her blue eyes shot back up to his dark ones as she began to form her ice magic with her free hand. "I will not let you keep us here anymore!" The ice mage shut her eyes and forced all of her magic power to push the man away with her ice magic. Her eyes opened quickly as she still felt his hand over her arm, a laugh escaping his throat. She looked to her free hand, the magic she had put forward disappearing just as fast as it had formed. "W-what…?! How—"
"You see?! You can't do anything to me! Do you honestly think I am stupid enough to be around an ice mage as powerful as you without any ice magic defenses?!" Bora held up the arm he held onto to show Rain his rings. Rain shook her head as she looked at the newest ring on his fingers. "Do you like it?! It prevents any ice magic from hurting me! You can form it all you want, but the moment it gets close to me, it just disappears! THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP ME!"
Rain growled as she crossed her eyebrows at the man. Her mind raced at anything she could do to possibly escape his grip. She quickly brought his hand holding her in place closer to her mouth, her teeth sinking into his hand. Bora yelled as he let the girl go, retracting his hand and holding onto it as the sting from her bite burned into his skin. He growled as he looked back up to her quickly. "That… was not so nice!"
Rain took her ice-make stance in front of the man. "I may not be able to hurt you… but I can use my magic to hold you off!"
Before Rain could make an ice wall to separate the two, Bora moved in quickly. He raised a hand and swung it across Rains' face, causing the young girl to cry out in pain as she fell to the ground from the force of his swing. "I've had just about enough of you and your attitude." Rain brought a hand up to her lip. It was pounding in pain as it bled. Her eyes looked to the evil man before her as he raised his hands at his sides, flames forming in each hand. "It will be easy to make your mother forget all about you… that's the greatness of hypnosis magic…. YOU WILL NOT BE MISSED!"
Rain shut her eyes tightly. 'This is it… he's won… I'm so sorry mom… dad… I couldn't beat him… I couldn't get away….'
"BORA!"
Rain could hear her mother yell out his name, followed by Boras' yell of pain. Blue eyes opened quickly to see her mother standing before her, using her water magic to hold Bora's hands in place. Rain could see steam coming off from his skin as the water Juvia was producing burned with heat from her anger. The ice mage couldn't believe her own eyes. Her mother had snapped out of the spell. But how? How was she able to do it? "Mom?" Rain said with a shaky voice.
Juvia burned holes into Bora as she held him in place with her water magic. He scowled at her as he stared back. "Release me Juvia! I command you!" Rain could see one of Boras' rings begin to light up. Juvia winced as the magic began to take back the control over her mind.
"I will not let you hurt my child! I will not let go!" Juvia said as she closed one of her eyes, fighting back against his magic with the love she has for her daughter. The water mage glanced back over her shoulder. "Rain, get out of here! I'll hold him back!"
Rain stood up quickly, her head shaking. "I can't leave you! I won't!"
Juvia looked back to Bora who stepped forward, forcing more magic energy to his rings. "Rain, I can't hold him back for much longer. Please just go and get help! I will be fine!"
Warm tears formed in Rains' eyes as she brought her fists up to her chest. "But mom—"
"GO NOW RAIN!" Juvia shouted.
The young ice mage waited a second longer after her mother shouted before turning to the front door and opening it quickly, running away as fast as she could. Juvia smiled to herself. 'At least I know that you are going to be safe… I don't care what happens to me… as long as you are alright…' Juvia looked to Bora as she released him from her watery grip. Bora quickly made his way closer to the water mage, putting a hand to her throat.
"How… dare you defy me! I knew your daughter was stupid enough to do something against me… but who knew you would be able to snap out of my magic spell to help her escape…"
Juvia didn't fight back as he held her by the throat. Her eyes softened as they went blank once more. "I'm so sorry my love. I never meant to hurt you…"
Bora frowned as he slowly loosened his grip. "I must have been too busy focusing on my ice-make defenses I forgot to keep your hypnosis up. Giving you a chance to break out of it for a moment. That won't happen again…"
Juvia brought her hands to Boras' wrists, running her fingers lightly over the burns from her water magic. "I am so sorry my love. Let me tend to your wrists."
Bora snatched his hands back from Juvia. "You have done enough. I have more important matters to deal with."
Rain pushed through all of the pain she felt over her body. Her chest hurt from the lack of air as she ran all the way to the bus stop, her feet hurt from the lack of shoes, and her lip continued to pain her from the slap she received from Bora and his rings. The young girl reached the bus stop just before the bus was about to leave. The driver opened the doors to the girl and let her in. Rain reached into her pockets, pulling out some change. 'I have just enough to get me home…' Rain looked to the driver who was about to ask her what was wrong. She quickly threw her change into the slot and made her way to the back of the bus, not wanting to talk to anyone. All she wanted to do was catch her breath and try to remain calm after all that had just happened. As Rain took her seat, her eyes looked out the window, dark clouds were beginning to form. The girl closed her eyes as she laid her head against the cool glass, unable to stop her tears from falling down her cheeks. 'Please be ok mom… I promise to get some help and come back for you. I won't let him hurt you anymore.'
Gray watched as everyone around him drank and talked amongst themselves, having a good time in each other's company. He looked down at his phone, checking the time. He let out a sigh as he set the phone back down on the table, bringing up a cup of water to his lips. 'This isn't right… they should have been here by now… maybe something happened? No… don't think like that. I trust Rain to get them out of that house. Maybe they are just delayed in traffic… it is Friday night after all.' The ice mage scanned the room once more, waiting a minute before checking his phone once more. 'Maybe I should just call her to make sure she's ok.' Gray quickly went to Rains number and hit the call button, anxiously waiting for her to pick up. "Come on…. Come on… pick up…"
"Hey, you've reached Rain Fullbuster, leave a message and I'll get back to you."
Gray ended the call and quickly slammed his phone onto the table. "Damn it." Gray looked at the time again. He growled as he tapped his fingers on the table. Loke made his way over to the ice mage and wrapped an arm around Gray's shoulders.
"What's going on? Why aren't you mingling with the rest of us and the kids? You do know that Lucy and I put a lot of time into getting this party set up at this place and the things we have planned for afterwards, right?"
Gray sighed as Loke took back his arm, taking a seat next to Gray. "Yeah I know… and I'm sorry that I'm not mingling with everyone. I'm just… a little preoccupied."
"With what?"
"With… Juvia and Rain…"
"Oh yeah, they were supposed to come to this too, weren't they? Where are they? They should have been here by now I thought."
"That's the problem… they should have been here by now. But I have no clue where they are since Rain isn't picking up her phone or answering any of my text messages."
Loke took a sip of his drink. "Well, maybe since she's driving, she can't get to her phone?"
Gray shook his head. "No. She would have at least told me that they were on their way before she left. I haven't heard from her all day… which makes me worry."
Loke waved a hand at the ice mage. "Oh, quit your worrying! I think you're just doing this since you haven't seen them in so long! Come join us and have a drink! Relax and let loose for once! Err… I mean… don't have a drink, since you quit and all… but come enjoy your time with us!"
Gray looked to his phone once more. "Loke… you know how you get those bad feelings in your gut, and they're usually right?"
Loke raised a brow. "Yeah, why?"
Grays' eyes shifted up to olive-green. "I think I've got that gut feeling that something went wrong when they were trying to leave…"
"Look, why don't you just come talk with the rest of us for a bit. If you don't hear from Rain in another half hour or so, we can come up with a plan to go get her to make sure they are ok. Sound like a plan?"
"And how do you expect us to come up with a good enough plan while everyone in here is drinking?!"
"Hey! I'm still on my first drink. One drink in me doesn't make me drunk. I'm not a light weight like Levy or Lucy." Loke stood and motioned Gray to follow him. "Come on. Take your worried mind off of the subject for a while. And if we need to leave, I promise I'll be right there with you."
"Yeah… ok…" Gray said as he reluctantly stood to his feet, shoving his phone into his pocket and making his way over to the rest of the grown-ups.
"WHAAAT?! YOU HAVE GIRLFRIEND NOW?! BUT… FINN! HOW COULD YOU! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO MARRY ME ONE DAY! YOU CAN'T HAVE A GIRLFRIEND!" Leviana cried out as she held onto Finns' arm tightly. Leo snickered as Finn struggled to free his arm from the girl.
"I'm sorry, Leviana, I'm still your friend though. Isn't that good enough?" Finn asked with a slight smile.
Leviana shook her head and began to pout. "No! It's not! You were supposed to be with me! And only me! That's how it was supposed to work! I love you Finn!"
Lily stepped over to the table where the two boys and Leviana stood. She spoke softly to her sister from across the table. "Leviana, we had this talk before, remember? You don't know what love is. Let Finn go."
Leviana stuck out her bottom lip further as she held on to Finn's arm tighter. "But… I do love him…"
"Leviana… I think Gaje mentioned something about wanting to sing karaoke with you…" Lily said as she put a finger to her chin. Leviana gasped and let go of the ice mages arm, putting her own hands on the table.
"Are you serious?! Gaje wants to sing with me?!"
Lily smiled as she closed her eyes lightly. "Why don't you go ask him?"
"Kaaay!" The young girl said as she giggled, running away to find her brother. Leo laughed loudly as Lily let out a sigh, opening her eyes as she spoke.
"Didn't actually think that would work…"
"That was awesome! She's so gullible!" Leo said as he smacked the table.
Finn stared at Lily, his eyes narrowed slightly. "I didn't need your help. I would have been able to get her off of me eventually."
Lily looked over to Finn and shrugged her shoulders. "Well, I'm sorry. It's just that she was holding onto you for the past ten minutes. It looked like you needed some help is all."
Leos' eyes shifted between the two. He spoke quickly to change the subject. "So! You guys excited to see Juvia and Rain? I know I am! Especially Rain! I haven't seen her in so long! I wonder if she still remembers me…. Oh my god… I think my life would be over if she ever forgot about me!" Leo said as he grabbed onto his blonde hair, throwing his head back dramatically.
Finn grinned as he brought his cup to his lips. "Will you stop being so dramatic?"
Lily giggled as she watched Leo pull at his blonde hair. "Yeah, I mean, we are all really excited to see them both. It's not just you Leo so calm down. Speaking of which… shouldn't they be here by now?" Lily turned back to Finn. "Have you heard from Rain at all today?"
Finn rolled his eyes at her question. "No. I haven't. If I did hear from her, I would have said so."
"I was just asking… geez…" Lily said under her breath. Hazel eyes went back to Leo. "So do you think we should plan something to do with Rain this weekend since she'll be home?"
Leos' face lit up as he looked back to Lily. "Yeah! Oh man! That would be so cool if we could just do everything with her! I don't even care what we do! I just want to get to hang out with her!"
"Well I was thinking we could maybe have a picnic in the park, or maybe take her out to dinner and a show or something?"
"Oh my god yes! Yes to all of those things!"
Lily half smiled. "We have to decide on one thing to do. We can't just do them all in a day."
Leo put his hands on his hips. "Says who?!"
"Leo she probably has to go back home on Sunday. That gives us tonight and tomorrow to hang out with her."
"I like how you both think she's gonna want to just hang out with just us. She has our father to visit too you know." Finn said with annoyance in his voice.
Lily looked Finns' way. "We are just excited to see her. We don't get the chance to see her often. Excuse us for wanting to be around her too, Finn. What's with you tonight?"
"Nothing's wrong with me."
"That's bullshit caz you're acting like a complete jerk."
"Says you."
Leo put his hands up before Lily could argue. "Ok, kids… lets calm down. Let's just try to come up with an idea to do with Rain that allows her to visit with your dad, and us for a good amount of time."
Lily snapped her fingers as she smiled. "I got it! Why don't we all take her out to dinner and then go to the Purple Flame Lounge?! I have a show this weekend, and you guys can come see me perform a new song! It'll be fun!"
"Fun for who? Rain isn't into all that punk, rocker music. She'd probably want to leave your show within minutes." Finn said as he looked at the dark haired girl. Lily clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her skin to hold back the tears from forming in her eyes.
"I don't know what crawled up your ass since you've been back, Finn Fullbuster, but you don't need to act like a fucking jerk to me!"
Finn shrugged his shoulders. "I'm just being honest Lil."
Lily shook her head as she quickly walked away from the two. "You're an asshole!"
Leo watched Lily walk away into the other room of the small building his parents had rented out for the night. His jaw dropped in disbelief at the two friends. After Lily was out of sight, the blonde haired boy looked to Finn. His head hung down as solid blue eyes stared hard at his drink. "Wow… dude…"
"What?" Finn snapped.
"That was cold… even for you… why are you acting this way towards her? I mean… it wasn't just now. All week you've been weird around her."
Finn moved a hand away from his cup as he tried to explain himself. "Look… I just… I don't want her to get too close to me again…"
"So you have to act like a jerk to her to do it? That's not right." Leo said disappointedly.
"What else can I do?! I think I still have feelings for her and with her all over me, it's hard for me not to do something when she gets like that! I had to be this way. It's the easiest way to keep her at a distance."
Leo grabbed his drink off from the table. "Sounds to me like it's the easiest way to lose a friend." Finns' eyes widened as he heard Leo speak so seriously. He looked up to see Leo shaking his head as he walked away from the table. The ice mage ran a hand through his blue hair, letting out a sigh of frustration.
'I should just go say I'm sorry… I'm not trying to be so mean to her… I just… I don't trust myself around her.' Finn sighed once more. He looked in the direction Lily had stormed off to and took in a breath. "Might as well go apologize…"
Gray looked down at his phone for what felt like the hundredth time since he had been at the party. He clenched it tightly in his hand. 'That's it… something is wrong. I've called her three times now and she isn't responding to any of my texts… I have to go see if she's ok. My gut is telling me something isn't right.' Gray's dark eyes looked around at the small group in front of him as he took a step backwards. He was almost glad everyone around him was drinking. It was a perfect cover for him to get out of there while they tried to talk over each other's drunken state. The ice mage quickly made his way to the front door, nothing else in his mind stopping him from leaving at that moment.
Gray made his way to his car with haste, starting his car up just as he sat down in his seat. He didn't pay attention to what traffic was coming his way as he sped out of the small parking lot, heading straight for the freeway. His foot pressed hard against the peddle, forcing his speed to pick up. 'Don't worry Rain… I'm coming to get you and your mother. Nothing is going to stop me from getting you two back. Its time I did something right.'
Gray eyed the speed limit sign and grinned. "Yeah, right. I've got somewhere to be." He said as he continued his increased speed on the open highway, rushing to his daughter and wife's aid.
Finn stopped just before the other room that Lily had gone into. His hand reached up and hesitated. 'Rain was right about me… I ran away as far as I could to try to get away from these feelings… but they were waiting for me right here when I got back. All week I've been fighting with myself… telling myself that they weren't really there. In reality… I'm just lying to myself. But how can I be in love with two women at once? It's not fair, or right for that matter…. I have to get rid of these feelings I have for Lil. I'm with Serena. I'm happy with her. I should just come out and let her know everything.' Finn took in a deep breath as he opened the door to the small kitchen available to the guests who were renting out the party room at the time. Her back was to him as she rested her hands on the counter. His stomach flipped as he walked quietly over to her.
"What do you want? Come in her to snap at me some more?" Lily said as Finn approached, her nose able to pick up on his scent the moment he walked into the room.
He looked down, guilt coming over him. "Look, I'm sorry. I know I've been acting like a jerk to you all week."
"Heh. That's the understatement of the year." Lily said quickly.
Finn looked at the dark haired girl, lifting a hand to her shoulder to turn her around. "Look, Lil. I'm trying to say that—" Solid blue eyes went wide as he looked into hazel. Tears were streaming down her cheeks as she stared back at him. She looked so hurt. 'Why… why is she crying? And why does she look so hurt? Did I really affect her that much by what I said?'
Lily brushed Finns' hand away from her shoulder. "Look, if you're here to be a jerk again, just save your breath! I was getting ready to leave this party anyway. I don't want to hear what you have to say if it's just going to be mean comments. I'll get together with you and Leo tomorrow about—"
The ice mage moved his hands to Lily's' cheeks before she could finish her sentence, pulling her in close to him as his cool lips pressed against hers. Hazel eyes went wide as Finn held her in place. After a minute, her body began relax, hazel eyes closed softly as her own lips pressed back against the ice mage. Her hands reached up to his shoulders slowly as Finn began to push past her lips with his tongue, wanting to taste the girl he held onto.
Lily's eyes shot open as she came back to reality. She pushed the ice mage away lightly and brought a hand to her lips. Her eyes stayed on his as she shook her head. "No… no, no, no…"
Finn reached out to her as she took a step back. He could see tears forming in her hazel eyes once more. "Lil, please… let me explain…"
"No! Finn… please… just… I don't do this… you have a girlfriend… I… I don't want to come in between you two. I'm not going to be that person!"
Lily raced for the door, wanting to put as much distance between them as fast as possible. She could hear him call out for her to wait, but she didn't listen. She wanted to get out of there. Her heart was pounding, her head began to race with thoughts. She was so confused. She wanted to kiss him back further. She didn't want that kiss to end. But how could she want that? This was Finn. Yes they have kissed before, but this time was different. Why did it feel so different from before? And why did she want it to go further? The dark haired girl shut her eyes as she made her way outside of the building. 'I have to stop thinking about this! I'm not going to be the person who ruins a relationship! I just want the old Finn back'
Lily heard a heavy sigh a few feet away from her. She opened her eyes as her hand fell from her lips, looking over to her side to see Leo staring up to the darkening sky. "Leo? What are you doing out here?"
"I'm just bummed… I don't think Rain is coming… I saw Gray leave a few minutes ago. He seemed like he was in a hurry… that got me to thinking…." The blonde haired boy looked down at the ground. "She isn't coming tonight… which means… I'm not going to see her at all this weekend. Who knows when I'm going to get to see her again…."
Lily wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand. "You really care about her… don't you?"
Leo sighed lightly. "Yeah…."
"That's really hard to believe coming from you." Lily said as she walked over to Leo.
"Well… I do. I know I go out with a lot of girls…. But it's just because I'm lonely. I feel like I have a part of me missing…"
"And you think Rain can make all of that better? What if you find out that she's just like every other girl you go out with?"
Leo shook his head as he looked up to Lily. "No. she's different. That's what makes her so special." His eyebrows crossed slightly as he looked over Lily's face. "Why is your face all red? And… were you crying?"
"W-what?! It is not red! I just…" Lily took a step back as she brought her hands to her reddened cheeks. "I need to head home. I have to get up early and open up the shop since my parents are going to be gone this weekend."
"That… doesn't really explain why your face is all red…" Leo said as he raised a brow to Lily.
"S-shut up Leo! I'm leaving so just leave me alone!" The dark haired girl turned and ran to her car.
Leo watched her with confusion over his face. "What was that all about?" His head turned as he heard panting and footsteps coming from the front door of the building. "Finn?"
"Where's Lily?" He said as he looked to the blonde haired boy. Leo pointed a finger to the car that left the parking lot.
Finn cursed as he put his hand into his pocket, pulling out his phone quickly. "Damn it!"
"What the hell is going on, dude? Lily just came out here and was acting all weird, said she had to go and left. Now you're out here looking for her. What the hell happened in there?"
Finn waved a hand, dismissing Leo. "I gotta go. I'll talk to you tomorrow, Leo."
Leo threw his hands up into the air and let them fall down to his sides. "Oh sure! You can leave me too! No biggie! Let's just ignore Leo and what he is askin'!" The blonde haired boy began to pout as he watched Finn get into his own car and leave as well. Leo sighed as he went back inside, his feet moving slowly. He walked up to the open bar that was accessible to them and grabbed three glasses from behind the counter. He eyed an open bottle of wine nearby and grabbed it as well. Leo pulled out the cork and poured a small amount of wine into one of the glasses. He sighed as he put the bottle down and reached for the filled glass. The blonde haired boy tapped his drink against the other glasses before raising his glass into the air. "Here's to you guys… the best friends a guy could ever ask for…. Thanks for being here for me guys…." Leo brought the drink to his lips, swallowing the liquid quickly. He sat down in the seat next to him as he sighed. "This would have been more fun if you guys were here…."
