(((Posting it here because they don't have a room anymore xD)))

Prom. It was supposed to be this awesome event during which you could spend time with your friends and, more importantly so, with the one who had won your heart. Kiara had been lacking a relationship during the last year though, hence the reason it had been her plan to apply a pouty lip and puppy dog eyes on Aiden once the moment arose. To have him be the one to take her to prom. Of course she hadn’t even considered that their beloved friendship could have come down crashing, but given that it had, the emotions were even more intense with it only being two days before the school activity. Not only that, but her dress had already been bought a couple of days ago and she was actually stupid enough to try it on. Perhaps to reassure herself that the chocolate and ice cream addiction caused by the separation hadn’t led to extra weight. While standing in front of the mirror, observing her own reflection, this came as a relief, yet Ki was also bitter and sad to realize she even ponder about avoiding the dance while it had been something she had looked forward to for so long now.

The other small change was the fact that a boyfriend had entered her life. Lucah Ivaskov to be more exact, but she couldn’t imagine attending it with him. It just was different; she had always told herself she would show up with Aiden by her side. Besides, her current relationship had sort of been founded on self-pity and the need to compensate for the sudden void – even though the blonde would not acknowledge this. She couldn’t get herself to break up with him either; breaking someone’s heart was so… rude. Exhaling deeply, practically unable to battle tears much longer, she moved to snatch her fleece blanket off of the bed, paraded out of the dorm room in general and made her way to Angel’s. She just had to talk. Talk to someone who knew Aiden as good as she did, if not better.

“Hey,” the blonde whispered sadly as the door opened after she had knocked it about twice. “C-can I come in?” With the gained permission, Kiara did so and then spun around once she had emerged far enough. ”How are you?” You know, casual conversation topics. Sort of in an attempt to avoid her real reason for being there. She didn’t even know to which extent Aiden’s twin sister had been updated.

Prom.

Angel didn’t have a date.

She was too shy to be approached, and she normally didn’t talk to anyone besides her twin, who was acting strange, and it worried her. She hadn’t seen Kiara a lot lately as well, and while it concerned her, she wasn’t one to harp on her brother about his lack of a best friend. She didn’t have a best friend, nor any boyfriend or anything like that, and she preferred to keep it that way.

Studying in her room, she didn’t notice the time, dressed in her Hello Kitty pajama shorts and a white cami, her blonde hair braided over her shoulder messily as she read her book. A small knock sounded on her door, and she got off her bed to answer it, seeing a rather upset Kiara. “Hey, Ki,” Angel replied, tilting her head as her silvery blue eyes watched the other blonde. She asked to come in, and Angel moved aside, closing the door behind her and crossing her arms.

Knowing her brother, and seeing Ki here, when Ki normally didn’t talk to her, made Angel’s eyes harden. “What has my brother done this time, Kiara? And don’t lie to me,” she ordered rather sternly, her accent thick in her voice.

What did Aiden do? There was the urge to declare all was a bed of roses, but sadly enough Kiara had never possessed the trait of lying and she wouldn’t get anywhere when not telling Angel the truth. Exhaling the breath she hadn’t even know she was holding, the blonde hugged the fleece blanket close and looked over at the girl who reminded her so much of the ex-best friend. ”Replaced me?” It wasn’t supposed to come out as a question, but Ki couldn’t help that tone of voice. Blurting it out as a statement would be the same as acknowledging he had ripped her heart into a million pieces, if not more.

A bitter, sad chuckle filled the room as Kiara looked over at his twin sister. ”He… fell in love.” The last words weighted heavy and eyes averted for those literally were the doors to her soul. She didn’t want Angel to see just how much it hurt. Best friends should be happy for one another, but she wasn’t. And there was reason for that. ”He used my ability in his benefit. Hugged me, knowing it would rub off on him.”

Strolling towards the couch, Kiara sat down on the edge, fumbling with her fleece blanket to swing and drape it over both shoulders. ”He hasn’t told you yet?” Optics settled upon Angel with a questioning look, wondering why Aiden would keep it to himself.

Angel had expected that Ki would say something like her brother had pulled a prank on her or done something else completely stupid, but this…this floored her. Angel knew her brother, and she knew that he didn’t do this to his friends. He never, never replaced anyone, and while concern darkened her eyes and made her body soften. If Angel had been an empathy, she would have felt Ki’s heartbreak.

Then she would have torn into her brother.

Angel kept listening as she came up to the other blonde and hugged her tightly, stroking her hair. It almost felt like she was consoling Kady, their younger sister. They moved to the couch and sat down, Angel still holding her tightly. “My brother and I don’t seem to talk anymore,” she told Ki matter-of-factly, seeing as this was hurtful news to the Cajun. Why would he keep this from her?

Feeling a bit calmer, Angel pulled back and looked at Ki. “Would you like some tea?” she asked, getting up and walking to the fridge to grab some of the sun-ripened honey tea that she had in a glass pitcher.
