Chapter 2 – The Unexpected Truth Can Hurt More Than An Obvious Lie

Edilio had strolled into the plaza liking the constant glow of the hundreds of candles littered over the drained fountain and various benches. And after a speedy look around, he started making his way towards the fountain where he'd previously agreed to meet Sam. Hoping he wasn't too late, due to the fact he hadn't been able to find a suitable outfit. Edilio increased his walking speed only to be stopped by a polite poke on his shoulder.

"Hi Edilio, umm I don't want to disturb you but I wanna ask do you think it is a good idea to coop pigeons?" Albert asked while keeping eye contact the whole time. At first Edilio wasn't all that interested in what Albert was saying but as he processed the idea he became more and more interested and soon he and Albert were engrossed in a deep conversation.

Astrid and Brianna had finally entered the plaza while the part was in full swing.

"This FAYZ Anniversary party is a great idea I mean . . . I can't believe it's been a year since everyone disappeared" Brianna said while looking around for a certain someone.

"Yeah, that's the reason we are celebrating 'cus everything's gone so well" Astrid replied.

"Uh huh yeah . . ." Brianna muttered absentmindedly while still looking around.

"Well Brianna, I'm gonna go look for – "

"OOO there he is" Brianna squealed then dashed off at the speed of a bullet.

"– Sam" Astrid finished talking to an empty space. Obviously not having a conversation with anyone, Astrid started looking around she saw Edilio talking to Albert, loads of dancing kids and Brianna, Jack and Dekka having some kind of argument as she walked over to go and see what the problem was , when she bumped into a couple in a deep romantic embrace knocking them into the floor.

When she looked down she saw the couple locking lips obviously result of Astrid's accident. But as she looked closely she swathe girl of the couple was Taylor and she was being pinned by a mystery kiss partner.

"Taylor?" Astrid questioned the couple quickly broke apart both gasping quietly.

"Astrid?" The boy pinning Taylor, who'd previously been romantically dancing with her turned his head and revealed he to be none other than Sam.

"Oh my – "Astrid stuttered while hastily stepping back.

"Astrid this is not what it looks like – "Sam said whilst standing up and walking towards Astrid.

"Then what is it Sam? While I was making my way here you were locking lips with her!" Astrid sneered while indicating Taylor who now stood next to Sam.

"If I hadn't knocked you over what would have happened?"

"If you hadn't knocked us over we wouldn't be on the floor kissing her would I?"

"Nooo, 5 more minutes of your 'romantic' dancing she would have popped you both to a bed!" Astrid shouted. Some kids had stopped dancing either noticing the tension in the air or wanting to know the reason for the raised voices.

"Oh Astrid that is low considering you were like 20 minutes late!"

"OH so this is my fault!"

"Yeah, No, I mean . . . "

"Fine I see how it is Sam"

"No Astrid I – "

"STOP IT BOTH OF YOU, JUST STOP IT!"

Sam, Astrid, Taylor and everyone else all turned towards where the louder shouts had come from. To see Brianna heavily panting from her loud outburst and Jack glowing bright red, obviously oblivious to Sam and Astrid's argument because they were too engrossed in their own. He turned towards Dekka and quietly asked 5 simple words but because the whole plaza was silent EVERYONE heard the question and the following answer.

"Why do you even care?"

"Because I love her" Dekka answered looking at the floor then meeting Brianna's eyes. A few gasps could be heard from within the crowd.

"I love you" Dekka repeated.

"Really" Brianna finally said while keeping her face blank.

"Yeah" Dekka answered. Suddenly there was a 'whoosh' and Brianna was gone. Immediately after Dekka turned to leave first she walked but after a second she was in a full sprint in the completely opposite direction Brianna had gone leaving Jack standing there looking completely lost.

So there is chapter 2! please review!
