I'm just going to go straight into it...
FIVE:
"Tell her now or I will."
"Tell me what?" I ask. I'm seriously confused. I would have read their minds but if they aren't thinking about that. I can only read what they're thinking at the time. I look straight at Marina knowing Nine wouldn't tell me unless it was life or death because he's thinking Don't tell her, Marina. I'll kill you if you do. I read Marina's mind and she was thinking the bastard needs to die. So I'm in a tough spot.
"The other day a few hours after you're fight with Nine I walk into a room and saw Nine kissing Sarah." She says looking at me with sad eyes.
Oh my god. I felt like my heart had just been ripped out of my chest.
"Is this a joke? Marina this isn't funny." I say and look at Nine's face. I didn't even need to read his mind because the look of guilt and sorrow was enough for me to know. "Sh!t you did!"
"Five…" he reached out to put a hand on my shoulder but I shrank back from it taking a few steps back a tripping over the leg of my chair and falling over onto the ground. I'll admit it hurt but the pain in my chest was worse.
You idiot you knew this would happen. I think in the back of my head. I quickly get back on my feet.
"Don't touch me." I growled at him.
"Five, I didn't…" he says reaching out again and this time I jump back knowing nothing is behind me.
"I said don't touch me!" I screamed at him. "Why… I don't even… you know what? Stuff you!" I scream again and run out of the house.
SIX:
Nine moves to go after Five but Becky steps in front of him.
"Take another step towards that door and you'll know what it's like to get you're as$ kicked by a human." She says. He takes a step back and Becky turns to Marina, Ella and I. "Are you coming?"
We all nod and follow her.
"I know exactly where she'll be." Becky says. "God, I hope she isn't crying. That will only make it worse."
…
After 10 minutes of climbing over fallen trees, jumping over mud puddles and falling in dried leaves we found Five. She was sitting on the banks of the river that's near the house we were renting.
"Nine, if that's you I'm going to castrate you. If you're one of the other boys – trust me, leave while you can. If you're Sarah… girl you better run. But if you happen to be one of my four favourite people in the world right now… please have a seat." Five said still not facing us.
"Gee, I'm glad I'm not Sarah." Ella mutters.
We all sit around Five and suddenly she burst out laughing.
"What?"
"Did you know I knew this was going to happen? Did you know that I'm actually looking at this like it's a good thing?" She asks.
"No." we all answer.
"Well I did and I am, I mean if it didn't happen now it would have happened soon. Right? And if it wasn't her… who knows who it would have been."
…
FIVE:
It's was about two in the morning when I heard shuffling in the kitchen. I open my eyes groggily and stretch out like a cat on the couch. Damn this is a really crappy couch.
I stand up and quietly walk into the kitchen and see Nine with his head in the fridge. My heart sinks and so does my mood (If possible).
"Hey." I say and he jolts up hitting his head on one of the shelves. He swore quietly and then turned.
When he saw me he's face paled a little – he looked like a dear caught in head lights.
"S… s…sorry if I woke you up."
"Sorry I frightened you." I say walking towards the kettle. "Do you want something to drink? Tea, coffee?"
"Water?"
"That I can do." I fill the kettle and a glass of water. I hand the water to him and he sits on the stool behind an island bench. I start getting that things out that you need for tea… tea bag, sugar, mug…
"Five… I still love you."
I drop the mug and it shatters all over the floor. Sh!t!
"Well you messed that up royally didn't you?" Nine thinks.
"I… wha… ah… you… Jesus I don't even know what to say." I mutter. "Can I ask you something?"
"Um… Yes?"
"We… we've been arguing a lot lately…" I say as I start to clean up the mess on the floor. "Was that just something you did? When we argued did you just go and make out with her or was it just a one-time thing?"
"Normally I would be offended by you asking that, but I guess you wouldn't really know and considering I did kiss her you have a right to know." He says standing up and coming over to help with the shattered glass. "It was only that once, it was like I was on auto-pilot… I didn't even realize what was happening until Marina came in."
I don't really know how to feel or for that matter what to feel. I felt happy that it was only once, mad because it happened at all, really p!ssed off because it was her, glad that I knew about it now and that it didn't happen over and over again while we were still dating. During all my thinking I come up with a question that was bound to shock him and make me furious.
"What does she have that I don't!?" I ask quietly. You. The room goes awkwardly silent.
"Nothing, absolutely nothing. You have a lot of things she doesn't though." He says. I swallow hard.
"Do yourself a favour – if you can't do it for you do it for me – just… try going out with Sarah. That way it wasn't all for nothing." I say looking him in the eye for a second longer and then walking back into the lounge room and plopping back onto the couch.
…
NEXT DAY:
"Right, are we ready for training?" Malcolm asked.
"We just ran ten miles. That was training." Marina wheezes.
"Well now it's time for more."
Great! I have a crap sleep and now I have 12 hour training! Shoot me now…
"He's despicable." Becky mutters looking furiously in Nine's direction. "He thinks he can still look at you like that after what he did."
"Leave it, Beck, he ain't worth your time or effort. Trust me I know." I tell her.
Six over-hearing our conversation decides to ask Nine a question. "What're you thinkin' about?"
"Now don't you go accusing him of thinking." Marina jokes.
"Back off B!tch. You're the one with useless legacies, puppy-fat and you're the one who had a cepan that gave up on lorien." Nine spits. Everyone goes silent. I look over at Eight and see him literally fuming.
Next thing you know Eight tackles Nine and they're both on the ground. Eight punches Nine in the face repeatedly. At the time everyone is thinking…
Four: Nine is not having such a good run is he?
Becky: Man you better hit him HARD!
Marina: do I really have puppy-fat?
Six: That as$ can't keep his mouth shut for two minutes can he?
Eight: I'm going to kill you!
Nine: shouldn't have said that…
Ella: It's just like the movies!
Adam: *Blank*
Sam: would this be an inappropriate time to start chanting 'Fight, fight, fight!'?
Six and I look at each other.
"Should we…"
"Yeah."
We both instantly jump in trying to pull them apart. I honestly don't know how this happened but to separate them I had to put my two hands on Eight's chest and my two feet on Nine's chest to get them as far away as physically possible. I felt very violated.
"Nine, you even think about making one of you sick comments and I'll kill you." I growl and he smirks suggestively. I look around at everyone and they look like they're in a trance. "Uh… help?!"
Ok so… What do you think? Were you expecting that?
Question of the week is "Should Nine and Five get back together and Should Five forgive Nine?"
F.R.F.R! See you all next week (Possible a little after that)! Sorry that I dropped off of the face of the earth…
Lucky Number 9
