The Next Day…
Flora woke up the next morning in a better mood. Once she had gotten her feelings back in order she had a great time dancing with the girls and Hunter. Flora would glance over at Helia every once in a while, and the whole time he sat at the table. He looked like he was absolutely miserable. The boys tried to cheer him up and so did Roxy, but nothing seemed to work. Flora felt a pang of sadness. She wanted to go over so badly and try to cheer him up. But then the feelings of him breaking her heart would stop her.
"Good Morning Flora!" Flora walked into the kitchen and was welcomed by the girls.
"Good morning Layla." Flora grabbed an apple and sits at the table.
"So what are your plans for today?" Musa asked.
"I'm planning on working on the song for tonight."
"Sounds good to me. We will cover you at the pet shop today, so don't worry about it."
"Thanks Bloom." The girls finished breakfast and went downstairs to open the shop.
Flora went to her room and started to think about the song.
After what felt like hours, Flora had nothing written down. Writing a slow song was not that hard. She had done it for the competition before. The hard part was writing about love in a positive way. Helia kept coming into her mind and the feelings of heartbreak came back. Writing positively about love was harder when you weren't in it.
"Maybe some fresh air will help?" Flora got up from her desk and went to walk in the park.
Flora walked down one of the paths in the park and felt much better. Being surrounded by nature always seemed to help out. Soon Flora was talking to herself.
"How am I going to write about love in a good way? A week ago it would have been so easy. Helia had always made me feel so good about myself. When I was with him I knew that I would never leave him, I would always be by his side. But now I don't know what to feel."
Flora kept walking through the park when she noticed someone leaning against a tree. Flora could only make out that it was a guy. As Flora got closer she saw that he had midnight blue hair and was sketching. Flora immediately turned around and ran away.
Helia was so deep into his drawing that he didn't notice Flora was behind him. He was busy drawing a portrait of Flora. He had it that she was sitting against a tree looking up into the sky. Helia had already written the song for the night's contest, so he had time to relax.
Helia heard his phone ring and saw it was Jaclyn. Letting out a heavy sigh he answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hi Helia!"
"Oh hey Jaclyn. How was your trip?"
"It was great. I am learning a lot about my father's business. But anyways, I was wondering if you would like to hang at my house today?"
"Your father wouldn't mind?"
"No not at all. He is out at a business meeting."
Helia saw this as a great opportunity to get back into Valadon's office. "Okay sure that sounds awesome."
"Great, see you soon." Jaclyn hung up.
Helia was later at Jaclyn's house.
The two of them were watching a movie when the phone rang.
"Hey Helia would you mind if I take this? It will only take like twenty minutes."
"Sure I don't mind. I'll pause the movie."
"It's okay. Watch it and I'll go up into my room to talk."
Jaclyn walked upstairs. Helia took action.
He snuck into Valadon's office and headed for his desk. He shuffled through the papers and found the one with all the numbers on it. He took a picture of it so that Timmy could analyze it. Helia then saw Valadon's calendar, deciding it was probably a good idea; he took a picture of that too.
Helia heard footsteps coming down that stairs. He ran back to his place on the couch.
"Hey sorry about that, it was just a friend that I haven't seen in a long time."
"No problem, I didn't mind at all."
"So did I miss anything?"
"No not really. Just some random car chase."
Jaclyn went and sat close to Helia. They watched the rest of the movie and Helia soon left afterwards.
"Hey Helia how was your day in the park?" Timmy asked. All the guys were in the living room. Timmy was in his usual spot on the computer. Brandon and Riven were working out. Nabu was meditating, and Sky was watching some television. Helia went to sit with Sky on the couch.
"Well it was kind of interrupted by Jaclyn."
Everybody stopped what they were doing. "What happened?"
"She asked me if I wanted to hang with her at her house."
"Well did you?" Riven asked.
"Of course. I was able to get into her dad's office and take some pictures for Timmy to look at." Helia got out his phone and handed it to Timmy. "I took a picture of the list and I took another one of his calendar."
Timmy plugged his phone into his computer and extracted the photos. "That's great. I should be done the analysis by tomorrow afternoon."
"Good job." Sky patted Helia on the back.
"It will be a good job when this is done and I can get Flora back."
"Don't worry man. If what Timmy finds is good enough evidence then we can tell Saladin and be done with this mission." Nabu mentioned.
"I hope so."
Sorry everyone. I am having a small case of writers block. I think what is going to happen is the even numbers will be shorter. The odd chapters will be the ones with the songs. Hope you don't mind.
