Blue sniffed as she choked on her words, tears were streaming down her face and she was in Cindy's arms.
Even Cindy was crying
Audrey brought a hanky and Cindy took it.
She brought another one and used it to wipe Blue's face
Audrey : it's okay baby, don't cry anymore
Blue : but I want Adrian, and I'm so confused right now, what was he doing with her if she was his sister
Cindy looked up at them
Cindy: the prince doesn't have a sister, he's an only child
Audrey : then is she his girlfriend?
Blue : why would he have a girlfriend and ask me out?
Audrey : just forget about him Blue, we can't answer that question yet. Maybe he'll come around, he definitely will if it's you he loves.
Cindy: yes, let's wait for him. Maybe she used magic on him too. Who knows, she might be a wicked mermaid. Ughhhh
She used her fingers like a paw and waved them towards Blue
The trio laughed
Cindy: so you never loved any merman at all
Blue sat up
Blue : no, it was only Rainbow
Audrey : is Jace handsome?
Cindy: what's the color of his tail?
Blue : I don't know, leave me
The three of them laughed and threw more questions at Blue
***
Cindy and Audrey were going to sleep over.
It was Derek who informed them about Blue's whereabouts since Adrian told him.
Blue left her room and went outside.
She wanted to be alone
In order to get the two girls off her neck, she gave them a jar of cookies to share.
Knowing the type of person they were, they would want to share it equally
The total number of the cookies were 21
She knew they would share ten ten but start arguing on who to have the remaining one.
She went to the back of the house and looked up to the window of her room.
Her light was on and she could hear them arguing and their shadows moving.
She smiled weakly and moved away.
She went to the beach and looked over the water.
It was cold out there so she began to hug herself
Memories of when she was locked in the dungeon the day Rainbow died came setting in
She sat on the sand and curled up, hugging her legs.
Tears began to flow
Blue : why I'm I so unfortunate? What is wrong with me?
She started sobbing more and the cold breeze was brushing against her body.
Someone called her from the back and she turned her face to see who it was
Ma'am Nina : do you remember your song?
Blue : mother
Her mother moved to her and sat down beside her
Ma'am Nina : do you remember the song you sang the day I was to tell you that we'll be leaving for the shore?
Blue nodded
Her mother smiled and stroke her hair.
She leaned on her mother's shoulder and her mother continued to stroke her hair
Then her mother began to sing the song for her.
She closed her eyes and began to sing too
Sometimes in life, they're questions that need answers
You might ask why
But you don't see why
You try to soar high but things are going down
When the ones you love starts backing off
And your once bright life starts turning dark
But at this point in time, you have to get up
Get up and fight the figth
Of survival
Cos it's all going to be okay soon
Yes it's gonna be okay
It's gonna be okay
It's gonna be OK...aayy
Both of them smiled as they hugged each other
Nina: it's cold here, let's go inside
She stood up and helped Blue up. They dusted themselves and went back to the beach house
Cindy: Blue where have you been?
Blue : outside, what's wrong?
Cindy: it's Audrey, she ate the last cookie without sharing it with me and now she grabbed two of my extra cookies and ran off to God knows where
Blue sighed and held her hand
Blue : follow me to the kitchen let's eat some pizza
Cindy: yay! Pizza
They got to the kitchen and saw Audrey about to take a slice of pizza into her mouth.
She froze when she saw them
Blue : what
Cindy: thief, Blue freeze her.
Audrey quickly began to eat the pizza and started to run away.
The two girls pursued her out of the kitchen and round the whole house.
They even got outside of the house pursuing her and laughing .
Ma'am Nina sighed softly and chuckled.
Nina : I hope you're safe Kyl. I just have this feeling that everything is not okay, but I hope you're safe
It's been a week already. Blue didn't even receive a short text from Adrian.
Sometimes she swallowed her pride and called him but he wouldn't Just pick up.
She began to wonder what exactly was wrong
Audrey and Cindy had resigned from working in Edinburgh and now work with her at her mother's working place.
That was the only reason why she was a bit lively apart from the time she spent with her mother.
After working for a few hours, her shift was over so she decided to try and call Adrian again.
Anytime she thought of him or wanted to call him, her heart would start beating very fast
The phone began to ring but no response again.
Tears began to fall down her eyes.
She misses him so much
She loves him
She just wished none of this happened
She keeps blaming herself for rejecting him at first but she didn't mean it.
She just didn't want to accept immediately
Suddenly the phone was picked
She jerked
~hello... hello... hello Adrian
~quit disturbing us please. Adrian doesn't want you, isn't the message clear enough?
It was a lady's voice
~who are you?
~Princess Gladys of Birmingham, soon to be Queen Gladys of Edinburgh
Blue's tears streamed down more
~Prince Adrian and I are getting wedded soon. You're invited
Blue left the phone and it smashed on the floor.
Audrey came there just at that moment
Audrey : what's wrong Blue. Are you okay?
Blue began to sob out and brushed her hand into her hair.
Audrey understood what she was going through after she saw the broken phone.
She embraced Blue and gave her a shoulder to cry on.
For the first time in forever, Audrey felt emotional and her eyes turned teary.
She held Blue so tightly as she cried.
Audrey : it's okay Blue. Don't waste your precious tears. Please
She unlocked and looked at her.
She wiped her tears and hugged her again.
Blue finally stopped crying but was still choking and sniffing.
Ma'am Nina came to look for her and saw Blue's state
Nina: Blue, why are you crying again?
She was already sad to see her daughter this way
Blue : mother.... Adrian.... He's getting married......
Audrey's face changed and Blue started another phase of crying.
This time she hugged her mother.
Audrey was boiling with anger
How dare they do this to her friend?
Blue doesn't deserve this at all
She felt her fist tightening
Audrey : ma'am Nina, can you please take her home. She can't work in this state
Ma'am Nina nodded and she and Blue walked out
