Ash harshly shakes his head. 'Argh!!! This wouldn't have happened if I arrive sooner.'
'What happened, when I was out?'. Layla heard only part of the story. And somehow, she got a feeling that half of it were her fault. Ash face her, her eyes glimmers in a spark of oblivious. He opens his mouth but no words comes out.
'It's not you fault fore sure', June finally step into the living room, she's wearing a hoodie jacket in the color of blue, long sweatpants with black glasses. Her hair is in ponytail style.
'Ash could you please tell them I wouldn't be joining for dinner. If the want to find me I'm in the music room'. June gives them a slight wave before disappearing into the corridor. Ash grunt, he stomp his feet. Anger is an understatement, he's totally infuriated. He dash into the kitchen and sock Ray straight on the jaw. 'What the hell man!'. Blood drip from his now bruised lips.
He wants a payback but judging by Ash's facial expression. Fighting him now can cause a serious injuries. Even so....'What's wrong with you flame head!', he kick Ash's knee. Zeirra watch with her veins twitching on her temple. Her fist clenched and unclenched, She really want to beat the boys where sun don't shine. 'Myra... Can't I at least punch their face?!!', she said between gritted teeth. Layla laugh nervously, the sight can bring anyone animal soul espacially Zeirra.
Myra holds the knight's hand 'Don't. Ash will beat the lights out of him anyway. Furthermore, don't you think Ash is giving Ray a fair punishment for what he did'. Myra sounds so casual, as if she didn't care even if Ray perish from the world. Zeirra finally admit defeat 'Still though, he could have told me he wanted to do that. I can help.' Layla sweat dropped, that's not the kind of answer she was hoping.
Ash jump just in time, he then kick Ray's shoulder making him stumbling a few meters back. Ray grunt, something is bothering his friend here. Ruthlessly, he grab Ray by the collar. 'You better fix this!', his words spit out like a venom.
Ray claw his hand hoping that his friend will come to his senses. His face is almost blue until a blur of dark blue hair beg Ash to let him down. Reluctantly, he let his friend go. 'Ray? Are you alright?', June give Ash a glare to keep away. Ray takes a deep breath, a wheezing sounds echoes through out the living room.
'Why?', he ask. Ray couldn't help himself but adore this girl. No matter how harsh she is treated, she always treat others better. June, didn't reply her hands rubs his back in circle. Finally, after he regains his breathing rhythm June answers. 'I have a way, I don't treat people the way I hate to be treated'.
After saying that, June excuse herself towards the music room. Ray couldn't explain this pinching feeling of his heart. Myra sermon, break his train of thought. He scrambles his way towards the dining room. All his friends are there around a round table with various delicious looking food presented. Ray scan the perimeter, one person seems to be missing. 'Hey, isn't June going to join us?', Ray could swear he sees Myra and Zeirra smirking. 'She wouldn't be joining us tonight', Myra nonchalantly state.
'What!! Why!!', Ray claps his mouth. He slump into his seat with his face in fifty shades of red. It's worse when his friends are teasing and whistling. Soon, the laughter dies down, Myra hands him a plate of mashed potatoes with roasted chicken. Ray gulps, the food presented to him seems inedible. He lost his appetite altogether. Myra giggle softly, 'If you wants to eat with her that much than you can bring her food', his face brightens up upon hearing the offer but he control his cool so his façade wouldn't fall apart.
'Umm... I guess.' Like a lightning he pick up the nearest he can get and dash out of the dining room.
'You did that on purpose didn't you.' Zeirra smirk, it wasn't that hard to figure if someone has been tricked. Myra takes a bit of her mashed potatoes, a victorious smile spread across her face. 'I know nothing of sort', she answer innocently. Max gives her a glare which she didn't realize before returning to eat his food.
Ray glide towards the music room. A soft piece of a music can be heard though out the hallway. Ray stop absurdly in front of the music room. He's both nervous and guilty. The feelings are drowning him. He's afraid, his heart clenched at every step he made here. He can't back out just yet. Ray was about to give up when an angelic voice flow through the thin door.
I know it feels hurtful,
I know its a torture,
Giving up was my choice,
Until you came to my world,
Yeah....
Your smile,
Your laugh,
Your heart,
Your eyes, they make me crazy,
Why couldn't you see??,
You meant a lot to me,
Why?
Couldn't you see me?
It hurts to know,
You love another,
But... When you smile,
You make my day,
You're my heart,
Ray start to freak out, the song suddenly stop in the middle of the chorus. Images of bad things flashes through his mind. Without thinking through, Ray slam the door open. June flinched when the door to the music room slam open. An anxious Ray with a tray of food in his hand.
'Don't stop', his voice comes out as a whisper. A red hue is evident on his cheeks. June brush it off with a reason he might be embarrassed after his sudden outburst. Ray put down the tray on the nearest cofee table. 'What would you like me to play?', June ask without looking. Her fingers brush over the key off the piano. The pain on her shoulder stung every time she look at Ray. 'Fur Elise', Ray answer. The ocean of guilty drown his soul.
When he didn't hear the notes, Ray turn completely facing June. At the same time June look at him searching for a reason why he wants such song to be played. When their eyes met for the first time in months an indescribable feeling suffocates their lungs. June opens her mouth to start a conversation, but nothing comes out. Silence embrace them for a little while. Deciding to break the awkward moment Ray takes a seat beside June. His fingers glide across the piano. June watch eagerly, she never thought her crush could be so delicate.
'I never thought you could play a piano?'.
Ray scoff, he always get that whenever he shows his true nature. At the last note he stop and look at her. Guilty once again drawn across his face. 'I forgive you', June simply said.
'How did you know?'.
This time June scoff, 'You isn't that hard to read. This song.... It's so dark. Are you still mourning about your brother?'.
Ray didn't respond his facial expressions should answer his question. June return her gaze towards the keyboard once more. This time she play 'Blue stone alley'. Ray raise his face, his mouth twist into a smile. 'My brother use to play that when I was sad', he stated.
'I know I'm much considered as a stranger but if you need a shoulder to cry onto' you can ask me'. Ray chuckle, no one has ever tell him that before. June is one of a kind, he never meet such a caring girl. A pretty one at that. 'Thank you, that means a lot. Now come on let me teach you Turkish March'. June nod, her relationship with Ray have improve not big but just enough.
Myra chuckle, this is more than she anticipated. Both of them are too busy with music they didn't realise her presence. With a slight sigh, Myra close the door behind her.
***************THE NEXT DAY********
People fill the crowd stage with light sticks and banners. The Fairy Hunter guild covered half the front row seat. Ash pace back and fro on the back stage. His guitar bounce behind his back. 'Ash!!! Calm down its gonna be okay!', June reassure.
'How can I calm down are-', Ash finally stop after gaining a kiss on the cheek from June. 'Hmph! I wonder why that's the only way you would shut up?!'. Ash giggle nervously. June sigh, sometimes her friends can be really hard to understand.
The first team to start is Panther. It seems the dashboard changes, now its between two and two. Today Fairy Hunter will fight with Panther. The lead singer Kurama pull the mic.
'We're here to rock your world'.
I know we just met recently,
But I feel like we're mean to be together,
We're know that you and me,
Are one.
Together as one!!
Yeah...
After five minute, the props for Fairy Hunter is set and ready. June gives Ash a reassuring smile before they start performing.
'Good morning Guys!!! We're here to sing Our memorabilia!!!'.
Do you remember when we first met,
I know I do like it was yesterday,
Your smile, your laugh, your heart,
I miss it all,
Let us be friends,
Maybe more if you don't mind,
I know I can be such a nuisances,
But you always put it up,
Like no one else,
Nananana...
This song reminds me.. Of you,
I know you hate me for what I did,
But I love you for who you are,
Oh hear my cries I need you,
Ash step down from the stage, while singing he face Layla.
For a mistake I once did,
Can you forgive me for it,
I know you miss me like I miss you,
So lets not fight anymore,
June smile satisfyingly when she sees her sister tearing up. Ash put out his hand, Layla gladly take his hand and dance along with Ash. Ash brought her to the center stage and twirl her around. He place their forehead together.
Will you forgive me for what I did,
I truly miss you,
My friend the complete of my whole.
Layla gives him a slight nod, tears drip down her face. This is more than she ever imagine. June watch from behind as the couple are celebrated with whistling and cheering. But her heart pinch every second when she witness their intimate bond. She longed for those feelings for the longest of time. Her sister certainly is lucky. Before anyone could see her she sprint out from the stage towards the sea.
The whistling and cheering subside as she step further away. Ray watch solemnly when Ash kisses Layla's forehead resulting the young mage to become redder. His heart pinch at every seconds. He wish so hard that the man who will be touching Layla is him. As he was monologuing with himself; snow descend towards the earth. Immediately he knows what's happening.
He push the crowds aside, ignoring the stares and cursing he gains. Once his eye meets Ash, he pry him off Layla. Pushing her aside he grab his friends hand. 'Where is June?'. His words spits out like a venom.
'What do you mean? She's right-', Ash stop, his eyes went big. June is nowhere to be seen. 'S-She was right there a minute ago', he stuttered. Ray groan, he slam Ash down before sprinting to the ocean. Was she hurt?!! Does she have feelings for Ash? He sigh in relief, June sit silently watching the sun set with her knee pull to her chest. Her dark dress dusted by the sand.
'Hey.. Why are you here all alone?'. June who finally realise his presence reply with a painful smile.
'When I'm sad, I always watch the sunset. Because I know if something makes me sad today something else will make me smile tomorrow. As long as I follow HIS rules, I'll be fine.' Ray couldn't help it when his heart skip a bit for this girl.
Ray put his coat over her shoulder, 'Hey, you will catch a cold. Come here. Since you mend my broken heart then I'll return the favor.' June couldn't help smile and tear up.
'Thank you', June sobs, this is more then she need. Him by her side, even though they were nothing more than friends.
'It's not you fault fore sure', June finally step into the living room, she's wearing a hoodie jacket in the color of blue, long sweatpants with black glasses. Her hair is in ponytail style.
'Ash could you please tell them I wouldn't be joining for dinner. If the want to find me I'm in the music room'. June gives them a slight wave before disappearing into the corridor.
