Flora watched the boys give their girlfriends flowers. She sighed. She knew that if her and Helia were still together, he would give her a bouquet of flowers and kiss her. Helia caught her eye and smiled. Her natural reaction was to smile back, but it instantly went to a frown. Flora watched as some girl with long black hair with red tips came up to talk to Helia. Flora was heartbroken, how could he heal so quickly? Did their relationship mean anything to him? Was it even love?
"I'm guessing he's the inspiration?"
Flora jolted. "Oh hey Hunter. I did not see you there."
Hunter gave her a dashing smile. "It's cool. You were in your own world. So I was asking was he the inspiration for your song tonight?"
"Yeah, actually he was. He really broke my heart."
"Don't worry, you will find a guy who will be able to put the pieces back together."
"Thanks. Oh and by the way, great job out there. You have an amazing voice."
"Thank you, so do you. Maybe we can do a duet sometime. Well good night Flora. See you tomorrow for the next contest." Flora watched as Hunter walked away.
Meanwhile, Helia was trying to pay attention to Jaclyn, but he kept glancing at Flora. "Who is that guy? And why was he talking to my Flora?" He thought.
"Hey Helia you there?"
Helia came back to reality. "Oh yeah, sorry. You were saying Jaclyn?"
"I was saying how amazing your song was. Was there someone in particular you thought of when you wrote that?"
"Oh no, I just thought of it out of nowhere." Actually Helia was thinking of Flora, but he wasn't going to tell Jaclyn that.
"Okay, well maybe you were just foreseeing the near future." She took a step closer to Helia.
He was becoming more uncomfortable by the second, buy he needed to do this for the mission. The sooner the mission was over. The sooner he could go back to Flora. "Well I was thinking, hoping, you would hang out with me sometime?"
"Sure, I would love to. How about tomorrow at the mall?"
"Sounds good."
"See you then." Jaclyn then left. Leaving Helia with the death glares of six girls.
Helia looked to his friends for some help but they had the same scared expression on their faces as he did.
"How dare you?" Stella yelled. "You just broke up with Flora yesterday and you are already asking another girl out."
"What kind of guy are you?" Layla looked like she was about to punch him.
"I thought you loved Flora, but apparently not." Musa looked like she was going to join Layla in the beat down.
"I'm sorry girls. It's not what it looks like. I still love Flora. I really do."
"LIAR!"
Everyone turned around and saw Flora standing there.
"Flora…"
Flora put her hand to Helia. "Don't even say anything Helia. I have heard enough. You go and have fun with you new girlfriend. I can see that what we had was nothing to you." Flora ran off stage, Helia could see that she was crying. His heart was once broken was now in shatters. The girls ran after her, giving Helia one more glare before leaving.
"Thanks for the back up guys."
"Sorry dude. But did you see the look on Layla's face. I wasn't going to mess with that." Nabu defended.
Helia just sighed. This was going to be the hardest mission in his entire life. "Come on guys, its time to go home." Helia already have an idea for the group's next song.
Love&Pet…
"Flora do you want to talk about it?"
"I'm okay. But thanks Musa. I just want to be by myself. I have another idea for a song." Flora went to her room once again and shut the door.
With the boys…
It was the next day and all the guys were with Helia at the mall.
"Okay, Helia you hang with Jaclyn and we will keep watch." Sky said.
"Um..ok."
"Oh and take these." Brandon gave Helia a bunch of flowers.
"Are the flowers really necessary?"
"Yes they are. We want you to make a good impression."
Helia sighed and walked over to where Jaclyn was sitting.
"Hey Jaclyn."
"Hi Helia! Are those flowers for me?"
"Ah…yeah." Helia gave her the flowers, not really trying hard. But out of the corner he saw the others signaling him to keep going. "They reminded me of you."
"Oh that's so sweet. Do you want to walk around the mall?"
"Sure that sounds good." Helia held out his hand to help her up. This was going to be a long afternoon he thought.
The boys came back to their apartment later to get ready for the competition.
"So did you find out anything from Jaclyn?" Timmy asked.
"No not really. I found out she likes music. She has a pet snake. And that she has a father who is high in power. That's about it."
"Well at least you found out something about her dad. So it wasn't a total waste." Nabu put in.
"I guess."
"So when are you hanging with her again?" Sky asked.
"Actually I invited her to hang with us tonight at the Frutti Music Bar."
"Why would you do that?" Brandon yelled.
"Well I didn't get much out of her. Maybe one of you guys can."
"I guess that's a good idea, but man Stella will not be happy."
"She won't be the only one." Helia just fell back in his chair. He had never wanted to be done with a mission as bad as now.
Sorry this one is so short. The next chapter will be longer.
