"So you are sure Flora will be here soon?" I asked Bloom and she nodded. We were at her mothers' flower shop.
"Yeah, as I already told you 4 times, she works here. She will be here. Now I really need to go, I'm meting Sky at the cafe."
"Alright, alright, sorry. Bye now. And thank you." I said as she walked out. I sat on one of the chairs there and started looking trough the flowers.
"Helia, is it?" the woman with short brown hair asked me while holding a big plant in her hands.
"Um, yes. Need some help with that?" I asked and slowly started getting up from the chair.
"No no, it's alright." she said and placed the plant on one of the shelves.
"So, you are waiting for Flora?" she added and I nodded. We kept silent for about another 15 minutes, when Flora busted in the shop.
"I'm so sorry I'm late, the bus is..." she started talking with Blooms mom, but then she saw me and gasped.
"What are you doing here?!"
"I need to talk to you." I said and she sighed.
"I have to work." she said and dropped her bag on the floor so she could start moving plants around.
"Flora, you're already late, you can go talk to him. But not that long." the mom said.
"Thank you." I said and she whispered something to herself while getting out of the shop. I followed her.
"What is it?" she asked and crossed her arms. I told her everything that happened. At first, she didn't believe me, and then I told her she could call Riven and ask him where was he the night before, so she did.
"Um, well, I was with Helia. Wee ate sommme pizzas andddd.. um... yeah." he said with a sleepy voice.
"You are not helping him cover this up, aren't you?"
"Me? Oh gosh no Flo, what the hell." he said and started snoring, then hung up.
"Well ,um... I'm sorry." she said and looked to the floor.
"Hey, it's alright." I said and hugged her. She hugged me back.
"It's just that, I was so scared of even thinking it was true... I didn't even think about it being a stupid lie from some stupid girl." she said and I lifted her chin so she would look at me, and then I kissed her. I wasn't normally the romantic type, but with her... aaaaand in the middle of the kiss Blooms mother ran out of the shop.
"Flora, honey OHH MY GOD I'M SO SORRY!" she yelled as we moved away from each other.
"It's alright." she said while blushing a little.
"It just that I need you. I don't know where are the roses!"
"Right on it, mam." she said, kissed me on the cheek and walked in the shop. I still had a little less then two hours till my meeting with Mark, so I went up to the cafe that Bloom and Sky were in.
"I'm really sorry if I'm interrupting." I said when they already forced me to sit down with them.
"Oh shut up." Bloom said and giggled.
"So, would you mind telling me whats new with you guys? I wasn't there when you were talking about it with the others."
"Sure." Sky said as he took a sip from his coffee.
"Well, I got a job at this really cool museum, the payment is great and the people there are quite cool, actually."
"Yeah, I work in a gallery with Musa. It's really a great place, you wouldn't believe for many people come everyday to see the art in there." Bloom said and smiled while taking her straw.
That's cool. Are you living together now, or...?" I asked and they both shook heads.
"No, Bloom still lives with her mom and I live with one of my great friends, we are roommates and the apartment is about 5 minutes walking from my job, so it is great."
"Yeah, really great when I want to stop by your place and your friend starts telling his stupid jokes" Bloom said while still smiling and they kissed. I, um.. felt pretty... awkward.
"I'm just... gonna..." I said as I stood up with my coffee in my hand and ran away. They didn't even notice. They were, um.. too busy. Soon, I got to MPS. Before I got straight to my office, I went to check up on 'Our room'. As I opened the doors, I saw 6 teenagers sitting on the couch and on the floor, and as soon as they noticed me, they all stopped talking.
"Hey, um, I just wanted to meet all the new patients." I said and some of them smiled to me, the others just continued looking pissed off.
"And who do you think you are?" one guy with spiky black hair asked. He reminded me of Riven a bit too much.
"I'm Helia, Marks psychologist." I said as I got closer to them, then looked at Mark and smiled to him.
"Why don't you just say shrink?" the guy spoke again.
"Well, I have you to call me a shrink. So nice to meet you all. Can I know your names?"
"I'm Roy." the guy with darker skin and bleached hair said. He was shaking but he looked happy. I tried figuring what was his reason for staying in MPS, but I just couldn't put my finger on it.
"Jack." the bald one with dark blue eyes said. He had quite pale skin. He looked sleepy and out of place. Insomnia, I though when he yawned.
"Merry." A girl with long, light blue hair said, well, whispered, and softly smiled. Some type of anxiety.
"Jane." a girl with dark brown eyes said with no expression on her face what so ever. Her hair was black, but so short that she was almost bald. She was pulling her sleeves down so she would cover up her arms. She probably has cuts, meaning self harm, so maybe depression too.
"I think we already already met. I'm Louis." the guy I almost punched said. I grinned and he did the same. Probably same as me, anger management issues.
"Hi." Mark said quietly an waved.
"Well, nice to meet you all. Who here is with Ethan?" the girl with short hair raised her hand.
"I was before he got fired."
"Well nic... wait BEFORE HE WHAT?!"
