Chapter 6: My Poor )(eart, Wwhy?
I rushed into the house and bolted up the staircase. I heard Feferi yelling from her room.
"GET OUT! GET OUT! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN!"
Another crash.
"Babe, I'm sorr-"
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!"
A man flew out her door and frantically dodged flying objects aimed at him. He stumbled down the hallway and I waited to here the slam of the front door.
After I did I walked into Feferi's room and followed the sound of sobbing. Her room was laid out almost like mine with a few different arrangements here and there. I found her sitting behind her couch curled up, crying into her knees. Her pink night gown fluttered around her as she shifted away from me.
"Fef...?" she started crying even harder.
"Fef, it's me," I knelt down beside her and wrapped an arm around her.
"I-I should ha-have listened to y-you..." she managed to croak out in between her strangled sobs.
"Ssshhhh... It's okay Fef. Tell me what happened okay?"
"Y-you won't leave m-me right?" she whispered into my chest.
"I'll stay here all night if you want."
And so I did.
The next morning I got dressed then called Aradia then Gamzee.
"Yeah motherfucker, I'll take her shift. Did somethin' happen to little sis?"
"Kinda. But I think she broke up with her boyfriend."
"Aw, well that's too bad. Poor sis, hope she feels motherfuckin' better."
"Yeah, thanks again Gam. Bye."
I closed my phone and stood up from Feferi's couch. Staggering over to her bed I softly shook the lump under the pile of blankets. She groaned.
"Hey Fef, I need to go to school, but Aradia is on her way. If you need anythin' just call and I'll come straight home. Okay?"
It was silent for a few seconds until I heard a muffled voice from under the sheets.
"Thank you..."
I smiled, "I'll be back, don't worry."
I walked out the door and lightly closed it behind me. I quickly told the worrying maids what had happened and grabbed my keys to my motorcycle. All day I could not help but worry about Feferi. She spent all night spilling every ounce of detail of what happened between her and her boyfriend.
That cheating bastard was going to die when I found him.
Once I had finished all my classes, it was about lunch time. I had no appetite so I decide to go for a little swim. I called Aradia to check on how Feferi was doing when I had parked in front of the local swimming pool.
"I was able to get her to crawl out of bed. She's currently sitting in the bathtub, crying."
I could hear the soft sniffles coming from the other side of the line.
"Well... at least your making progress."
"I guess you could say that," I loud wail was heard from the other end," but I do have to ask Eridan."
"Hmm?"
"Why are you going swimming at a local pool when you have a private one in your backyard?"
"It doesn't feel right without Fef."
"... I see. Well I gue- OH MY GOD FEFERI ARE YOU OKA-"
The line had disconnected.
Staring at my phone I shrugged and walked toward the entrance. Feferi and I had become quiet well known at the pool so we had our own lockers in place for us. Finding mine, I pulled out my swim trunks and went to the bathroom.
The pool was rather empty that day for some reason so I decided to do a few laps. By the time I was done it was around 3.
Taking a quick rinse I through on my clothes then exited. I was already on my way home so I decided to not gel up my hair. My black frames kept the purple mess out of my eyes anyways.
As I was swerving my way through traffic I spotted a small store that I never really noticed before. The name made me curious so I went and checked it out. The windows were covered so I couldn't see anything, but when I walked in...
I have never felt so much joy in my life.
"Hello! Welcome to Taste the Rainbow! Do you need any help finding something sir?"
A girl with red tinted glasses walked up to me with a big smile on her face. She was a little shorter than me and had a little pudgy on her, but she wasn't bad looking. A black apron with the store name and paint splattered onto it was covering the front of her. What made her so odd was that she had a cane with a dragon head handle and a... Labrador on a leash in the other.
So many questions.
"Uh... actually yes," I started to ask about my favourite brands, brushes, canvases, and any other thought that popped into my head. I probably looked like a little kid on Christmas Eve. My eyes were so bright and a huge grin had plastered itself onto my face.
By the time I left the store I could have sworn I had clean out the entire thing. Now the only problem was...
How do I get this stuff home.
I opened my phone and started scrolling down my contact list.
Gamzee? No, he was covering Feferi's all day shift.
Karkat? Gamzee and him share a car, so no.
Kanaya? No, she had work today.
I was starting to get really frustrated when I came across a certain name.
Sollux.
Tapping on his name I flipped my phone to its side and started texting him. Hopefully he didn't decide to sleep for once.
Hey sol can you help me wwith something
It was a few minutes of terrifying anticipation before my phone vibrated.
Wiith what.
I sighed in relief.
I bought all this crap and i forgot that i dont havve a car to put it in
Okay where are you.
I texted him the cross street and waited for him next to all the bags I had. His van finally showed itself and I waved to him. His eyes went wide when he saw how many bags I really had. Opening his trunk, I was relieved to see that he decided to clean his car.
After we finished placing all the bags in the trunk we drove back to the house.
I called for a butler to help us with the bags. All three of us, with bags in hand, ran up the stairs and threw them into my room.
Sollux and I sat ourselves onto my couch when a knock came from the door.
"Come in!"
The door opened to reveal Aradia.
"Eridan your back, I need to talk to you about what happened to Fe-"
"AA?"
"Sollux?"
"What are you doing here?"
They spoke simultaneously.
Sollux was standing now and I sat there very awkwardly.
"Do you...um... do you two know each other or somethin'...?"
"Actually yes," Aradia was staring Sollux down and Sollux seemed to be almost... nervous?
"We uthed to go out."
Oh.
"It's nice seeing you again Sollux. You seem to be doing good for yourself."
"I guetthh you can thay that. I've been getting out more."
The air was thick with intimidation, but being me... I had to make it worse.
"Sorry to intrude but... I'm curious. What happened?"
The two of them were now glaring each other out of existence. Aradia had answered.
"Nothing. Absolutely nothing."
I was very confused now.
"Wait... what?"
"I can explain more later on, Eridan. But for now I need to tell you something about what happened to Feferi. She wasn't telling the whole story to you. She left out some important details that might concern you."
"Wait a thec... what happened to FF?" It was Sollux's turn to be confused.
"Her and her boyfriend broke up last night," Aradia spoke deadpanned manner.
"The had a boyfriend? Thinthe when? And what happened anywayth?"
"Since 3 years ago, Sol."
"There's no time to explain all the detail right now Sollux!" she was turning red with frustration, "Eridan!" she pulled me up from my sitting position.
"Feferi's pregnant!"
HOO SHIT. What now?
Thanks for staying tune!
Please Review, they make me happy I write :3
