Bubbles's New Game
Chapter 4
Brick's POV
Forsaken's party was tonight. I had bought a red robe for the occasion. I sat at the park waiting for Briallynn. Then I saw her. She was wearing a light blue dress, with a sapphire pendant. She walks over to me.
Briallynn: Hello Draic.
Draic: Hello.
Briallynn: *smiles shyly* Are you ready?
Draic: *takes arm* Yes. You are beautiful.
Briallynn: *blushes* Thank you. You are handsome.
Draic: *smiles* Well, let's go.
We set off, and when we arrive at the guild hall, I lead her to the door. We step into the ballroom. Bards are playing instruments and singing. We start dancing. After a while, I dimiss myself.
Draic: Bria, I need to find Sylvian and Onyxus. Are you okay here?
Briallynn: *nods* Yes!
Draic: Okay.
I walk over to where Boomer and Butch's respective characters are sitting.
Draic: Hey.
Sylvian: Oh, hey, man.
Onyxus: Hey.
Draic: Look, I need to talk to you guys about Bubb-
Chanting cuts me off. People keep typing: Sing! Sing! Sing! I look around. Briallynn is being ushered by a crowd onto a stage.
Briallynn: *sighs* Okay!
Draic: *inches towards the crowd, and hears a soft sound indicating a mic being plugged in. Then I hear a beautiful voice come over my speakers.
I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave
Your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
The voice is the most pretty thing I've ever heard. It's also very familiar. Clapping breaks out, and I join in.
Briallynn: *blushes* I'm not that good.
Draic: Yes you are. You're astounding!
Briallynn: *smiles softly* Thanks.
Sylvian: KISS! KISS! KISS!
Draic: *kisses Briallynn softly*
Briallynn: *kisses back.
Sylvian: *cheers*
Onyxus: *whoops*
Briallynn: *blushes*
Draic: *blushes*
Briallynn: *gasps* I have to go! It's midnight here!
I check my clock. Oh my god, it is!
"Yo!", I yell to my brothers. "Lights out in twenty!" Butch complains, but complies.
Sylvian: Bye! *logs out*
Onyxus: See ya! *logs out*
Draic: *turning to Briallynn* I wish you lived in Townsville. I would love to see you.
Bubbles's POV
I stare at the message. There was only one Townsville in the world, and I lived here!
Briallynn:... I gotta go.
Draic: I'm sorry!
Briallynn: It's okay. *smiles* *logs out*
I go lay in my bed. That was super awkward. I'd feel better in the morning. I always did.
