Bloom's Lesson
Chapter 8!
"I Knew Christina since she was born" He began talking "actually I am her godfather, and my other cousin – who is actually my cousin – Mellissa is her godmother. I loved Christina, she was by far my favourite relative, but maybe that has to do with the fact that we spent so much time together, my parents… or our parents really, always kept up in contact, made sure that we got along" he paused and Bloom took his hand in hers and squeezed it gently.
"I would be send there to play with her, she would never come to the castle, which I didn't take much notice of back then, I was only a kid after all, but over the years I grew a powerful bond with that little girl, and so did Brandon, the three of us would always play, go for adventures in the woods or swimming at the lake" he Smiled thinking of the happy memories. Before he started again.
"even though there was twelve years between us, were so close, but when I turned Fifteen we got to see even less time with each other when myself and Brandon left to go to Red Fountain" he said.
He stayed silent for a few seconds just staring out the window, biting his lip, Bloom saw his eyes go red, and she knew that he was hurting. "Sky, if you don't want to talk about it, that's okay-'
"No" he interrupted her, I need to talk about this and you need to know this" he paused briefly before speaking again.
"I'll only got t see her during the Summer after I started at Red Fountain, because I stayed in Magix during all the other breaks during the year, because I met you, and I know that we weren't together that year, but I still liked to spend time with you, and also I didn't want to come here and have Diaspro with me twenty-four/seven, so I only got to see Christina, during Summer."
"Then, after our first year after the army of decay thing, and my splitting with Diaspro, my parents thought that myself and Brandon were old enough to know that the little girl who I always though was my cousin was actually my younger sister."
"When I found out the secret I was mad at my parents for not telling me sooner, and happy that Christina was my sister, I didn't talk to my parents for the whole summer and then we came back for our second year at Red Fountain and I didn't see Christina then, its horribly because after I found out that Christina was my sister, I wanted to spend more time with her, even though it was impossible, since I was so busy"
"And then Lillian died, and that just shook the whole place, we had no worries for Christina, Liam loved her very much, we assumed that they would come through this. But Liam blamed everything on Christina, he saw Christina as a devil. He couldn't stand the sight of her."
He looked away from Bloom again and focused his vision to look out the window again, Bloom didn't push him to speak again, she let him take his time and feel comfortable, and until he looked back at her and this time a single tear was making its way dorm his left cheek.
"When Myself and Brandon went to get her, she was in her room, on her bed, holding a blanket and a picture of Lillian crying, when we tried to talk to her, she wouldn't talk to anyone, she was terrified, she was afraid her father was going to be angry if she talked to us"
Bloom couldn't help but think of her friend Musa, who lost her mother when she was young and her father went into depression, but at least he got out of his depression and there okay now, but from the sound of thing I don't think Christina is going to get her daddy back.
"When we brought her back here, it took her a few days to get settled in with everything, I was so happy to see her smile again, and she was really happy to find out that you were coming to stay, she has been dying to meet you"
"So are you going to tell her about this?" Bloom asked.
He sighed heavily "Were not planning on telling her anything, we think it's better off this way.
Bloom shook her head "Trust me Sky that is not a good idea, you're doing the same thing to her as what happened to me, Mike and Vanessa didn't tell me I was adopted till I was sixteen, I didn't show it, but I was devastated that they didn't tell me sooner, trust me the longer you wait to tell her that more angry she is going to be at you sky, you have to tell her" she said squeezing his hand tightly in hers.
"It's not our choice to make Bloom, it's my parents." He said.
"Oh please, do you honestly believe for one second that Samara doesn't want to tell Christina about her? Sky you can't believe that, and I know you, family is everything to you, you have to have some say in this discussion."
"That's the ting Bloom, I don't have any say, she isn't my child" Sky said his head down.
Bloom, getting frustrated put both hands on either side of Sky's face and forced him to look at her. "No, you're not her parents, but you are her brother, you think that stopped Daphne from telling me about my parents, sometimes you have to go against the rules if it's for the rest."
"Bloom! There is nothing that can be done about this, so just drop it!" he shouted and Bloom, speechless stood up, he had never shouted at her before, not like this, couldn't he see she was just trying to help "Bloom?" Sky asked reaching for her.
She shrugged him off and began walking to the door. "Bloom where are you going?" he said walking behind her.
She turned back towards him when she opened the door. "I'm going to my room, I need a rest from all this sudden drama, alone" she said walking out the door leaving him behind, she wasn't going to go back to her room.
Instead she walked down the hall, half lost and then soon figured out her way, soon she was at the familiar giant door that led to the big ball room, she opened it, took in all the ceiling to floor length mirrors and then say Christina and Jennifer in the corner.
"Bloom!" Christina smiled when she saw be walking towards her, it looked like she was in the middle of her lesson, and Jennifer looked confused to why Bloom was there. "Princess, what are you doing here, don't you have lunch with the king?" she asked.
"Actually, there was a change of plans and I have nothing else to do this evening, so I was wondering if we could have Lesson 2?" Bloom asked.
"Off course" Jennifer half smiled.
