It's been 2 days since my mom's murder. Apparently, my father, in a drunken rage, beat my mother until she fell out of the window and into the concrete. They took him for questioning and I was sent to my home to gather my belongings. They asked me if I had a place to go, Adagio and Aria said I could move in with them.
I said yes on the spot.
I unplugged the PS4 and stuffed it into a bag. I grabbed the games along with it. I saw an old photo of me, my dad, and my mom. I pulled the photo out of the frame and ripped my father out of the picture. I put it back into the frame, and into my bag. I finally grabbed as many spare clothes as I could.
"You ready?" Aria asked me.
"I'm ready." I said as I placed the bag on my back and headed back to the truck.
"What happens now?" I asked Aria.
"I don't know, what do you want to happen?" Aria asked.
"First thing's first: I'm NOT going to Crystal Prep tomorrow, the next day, or ever again. I'm done being beaten from them. If any of them touch me after this, I'd kill them." I said to Aria.
"I'll stay home too." Aria said quickly after I finished my sentence.
"Okay... why?" I asked.
"Your mother just died, I don't want you to... have any thoughts." Aria said.
Aria...
"I... alright." I said.
We got into the van and Aria drove us back... home.
"After we take over the world, I wanna find him." I said.
"Then?" Aria asked.
"...Then, I'm gonna kill him."
After we went back home, Aria volunteered to share her room with me. I didn't try to debate, and I started setting up a side of the room for me. I'm not going to say that it was a mess, but it was pretty stuffy. I found a good place to set a bed, but until everything else was brought in tomorrow, I had to share a bed with Aria.
Good God...
I found an outlet for the PS4 for when the T.V was brought in. I placed my bag in front of it and I started looking through my bag.
"Um... Autumn?"
I leaped back and saw Aria with a controller for me.
"You can take that T.V. if you want..." Aria offered.
Me and Aria were deep into a round of COD: Zombies. Aria was doing pretty good, actually...
"Did you play this before?" I asked.
"Sonata always did. I was forced to watch her play, and she always wanted me to play with her, so I-- CRAP!" Aria said as she was pinned.
I ran to get her, but the zombies got me first.
"Well, good game?" I asked.
"Yeah. Good game." Aria smirked.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing..." Aria said.
"Hey! Want to eat or what?!" Adagio called out.
"We should go." I said.
"Sure." Aria said.
We both headed out and started eating.
"Look, Autumn, about your mother--" Adagio started.
"I'm fine. Just don't mention it yet..." I said as I took a bite.
"Okay..." Adagio said.
"How about Sunset?" Aria asked.
"Fire away." I said.
"How did you two meet? How were you drawn to her?" Aria asked.
"Well... I met her on my first day. I was 16 at the time. She started talking some shit, but I thought that I saw right through her. I thought that we had a connection. But after she left me for Flash, the whole thing came apart... She started blackmailing me to keep our night a secret. One day, I was ratted out on dating her. I was soon kicked out after some things Sunset did and blamed me on. Now..." I said.
Aria didn't say a word. She held me in an embrace. Adagio joined a second after. We held it for what seemed to be an hour. I noticed that Aria was holding the tightest for some reason...
"Um... Aria? You're kinda getting a little tight here." I said.
"Hu-- OH! Sorry..." Aria said as she and Adagio quickly let go.
Well, there goes that moment.
After we ate, I decided to call an old family friend.
"Frank?" I asked.
"Autumn? What is it?" He asked.
"Mom died a few days ago." I said.
"Yeah, I know. I wanted to talk to you about that. You're always welcome to live with me." Frank said.
"Thanks, but I already live somewhere else." I said.
"Well, if you can, can you look for Scootaloo for me? I- I know that I ask every phone call, but... please?" Frank asked.
With everything happening, I comepletly forgot about Scootaloo. According to Frank, he abused her in an orphanage before he "found Jesus".
"You got it." I said.
"Thank you." Frank said as he hanged up.
"Who was that?" Aria asked, nearly scaring the crap out of me.
"Aria! That was just an old family friend. Frank." I said.
"Well, sorry for scaring you. I just wanted to say that we should turn in. Big day tomorrow..." Aria said.
"Yeah, Adagio deciding we should start making plans and all..." I said as I yawned.
I turned around and quickly remembered that we'd have to share a bed.
"Um... you take left, I take right?" I asked with my face quickly turning red.
"Sure..." Aria said.
After we got ready, I went in first. I faced the wall and Aria went in next. As soon as the feeling of her back hit me, I felt flushed.
"Please try not to crush me back here." I begged.
"Sure..." Aria said.
We tried sleeping for at least an hour, but no luck.
"You still up?" Aria asked.
"...Yeah." I said.
"Autumn?"
"Yeah? I asked.
"Can... can you turn around for a minute?" Aria asked.
"Alright." I said as I turned around.
What I didn't expect was the long peck on the lips from Aria and the embrace that followed.
"Hay twilight look romance."
umm... Yay.
any chance they will find sonata at chs?
she doesn't really have anywhere to go after all so it would make sense for her to stay near somewhere she is familiar with.
Great chapter
But you spelled "Grief" wrong in the chapter name
6813079 Actually, this story is a prequel to another story of mine: The Zombie War. Sonata is in that story and this explains what has happened between Rainbow Rocks and The Zombie War. Kyle, from the chapter of the same name, is the main protaganist. Aria and Autumn have been refrenced, but not seen... yet.
