Third Person's P.O.V
Carly hesitated to ask the same question her mouth was eager to ask for about a good two months now. She inhaled sharp air and look at Blyx in the eyes. Her eyes that looked so weak. Dead, even.
"Why did you come back, Blyx?"
Blyx didn't answer her and looked away. What Carly didn't know was that Blyx was holding in her tears that were always threatening to fall for the past two months. Well, almost two months. Carly took this as an insult as Blyx ignored her.
"You were dead! You were fucking dead!" Carly's tears run down.
She was crying because she felt relief when Blyx died but eventually came back only to give her misery and pain. A pain in the heart which she can not describe. But still, it was pain and Blyx was giving it to her again. Like she used to.
Blyx finally turned her head to Carly. Carly gasped at what she saw.
"I came back for two reasons Carly."
Blyx let some tears amok. Carly was sure as hell that this is her first time seeing the Great Almightly Blyx Stephens cry. Add the fact that Blyx cried in front of her and to top it all up, Blyx smiled a sad and weak smile. The sight made Carly weak on her knees and instantly regretted on asking the question.
"As soon as you accept those two things, I'll be gone."
Of course there was a time limit but Blyx couldn't care less. It was just freaking three days. Three days left of pain and agony. Both of their tears seemed never ending.
"I hope you accept my apology Carly. Me apologizing to you is one of the two reasons why I came back."
Carly didn't want to listen. She examined Blyx's eyes and saw sincerity. Carly examined Blyx's smile and saw pain and agony. Carly examined Blyx's body and saw that she's weak and is having a hard time. She was really pale and is thin. She didn't have much muscles.
"T-the other one?"
Carly knew she'll regret it when she hears it. But, she decided to give it a try. She hated seeing Blyx suffer even if Blyx was the cause of her misery and pain. Carly felt pain poking her heart, it was a painful poke like it was made of thorns.
"The other one is to let you know just how much I longed for you. How much I love you, and still loving you. I want you to know that I did all of those things because I love you. I couldn't stand it when you're with other people. I got jealous and got angry. I'm really sorry. I really am. I came back to spend some time with you, remembering it like a precious treasure. I wanted your mother to heal because I know when the time comes, you and I will both go our separate ways and I want you to still have your mother. I don't want you to lose two people at once. I even took away your father's life. I just wish you knew the reason but I can't bring myself to tell you. I'm always so weak when it comes to you. You don't have to love me back, you just have to know that I really do love you."
Blyx gulped down some imaginary saliva and look at Carly in the eyes. She kept on thinking how beautiful her eyes are. Carly on the other hand, was already breaking. She didn't want to accept those of what she said because she knew that Blyx will go away. She didn't know Blyx's side and assumed things that were not right.
"If you accept those, I'll go away and never bother you."
No, don't smile Blyx. Don't smile. It hurts me. Carly kept thinking that but her prayers were not answered. She just saw Blyx smile one last time and saw how Blyx's tears always stream down, not stopping. Carly didn't even realize that she was crying herself.
"I'll let you be and think about it. But, don't push yourself too hard."
Blyx left Carly there. It was the first time Blyx cried and in front of the girl she loves. Blyx locked herself up in her room while Carly stood there frozen but still sobbing. After a few seconds, Carly collapsed and buried her head in her knees.
"Why does it have to be so hard?"
Carly said to no one in particular. She, indeed made the most mistakes after Blyx came back. But, Blyx was the one who most did huge mistakes before she died. Both of them regretted their mistakes. Both crying their hearts out. Both their silent sobs were screaming in agony and pain.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
Blyx kept on mumbling until she cried herself to sleep that night. Carly on the other hand, is still wide awake. She dusted herself off and composed herself. She needed her mother. Her mother always knew what to do. When her mother instantly saw her, she instantly knew that there was something wrong with her daughter.
"Come here, sweetcakes."
Her mother's soothing voice made her cry again and basically ran to her mother's warm embrace. Her mother kept on saying sweet things to her crying daughter to somewhat ease and calm her down.
"Why... Mom, why does it hurt? She caused me pain and I did the same unintentionally after she became sweet to me. She did horrible things to me and yet I'm hurting. I should be happy to know she's struggling."
Her daughter said in between sob and hiccups. Her mother puzzled everything out. It really was true. She still kept on telling her daughter soothing things. She gently brushed her daughter's hair using her fingers. Her daughter was hurting and she can't do anything about. Even if she says that it was gonna be okay, she knew it won't. She knew everything. But, her daughter don't.
"Mom... I hate her for making me fall for her... I hate her..."
Her mother gasped. I thought that she was just pretending? She wiped her daughter's never ending tears but still kept on doing. Her precious baby has already fallen for someone. But that someone is gonna be gone soon. When her daughter finally calmed down, she gave her motherly vibe.
"Do you love Jerdon?"
"I... thought I did.."
Her mother smiled. She should've just broken up with him. Her mother wiped her remaining hot tears and hugged her tight.
"Baby, you should just break up with him. As soon as possible if you must."
I admit, I despised Blyx after the first four days of knowing everything. But, when I took a long time to think about it, I could've done the same. It just shows how much she loves Carly.
"Tomorrow."
Carmen, Carly's mother, nodded with a big warm smile. After letting her daughter sleep, she decided to also have 'the serious talk' with Blyx tomorrow. She sigh as she thinks about how complicated their situation is.
Carmen woke up rather early and made breakfast. Even if she knew that Blyx can't eat, she still want the two to spend Blyx's remaining days together. Everything she saw, it also pained her. Her daughter was being deceived by Jerdon but she wanted her daughter to handle it on her own. As she cooks, she remembers that all of Blyx's guards were now guiding her daughter. Carmen knew everything. She sets up the table and called the two beautiful ladies.
"Baby, breakfast is ready. Come. And, call Blyx will you?"
She was testing Carly if she was ready to face Blyx again and Carly was. She nodded and went to barge in Blyx's room without knocking, as always. Carmen waits for the two patiently at the table.
"Hey... Mom made breakfast."
Carly was hesitant to wake the sleeping beauty but as she examines Blyx's body again, she had the urge to force her to eat. Blyx dragged herself up and nodded. Both of them walked with tension surrounding them. Carmen only giggled, she couldn't help it. Teenagers. They said grace and ate. Both Blyx and Carly was stealing glances but never at the same time. Blyx had to shove down the food to her throat since it didn't taste anything, just ash. But she has to swallow them, because Carmen made the trouble in cooking. They ate slowly, but digesting quite fast.
"Ehem... Blyx?"
Carmen turned to Blyx with a motherly vibe and smiled warmly. Blyx gulped hard and turned her head to Carmen and smiled back with a soft smile. Carly was confused on what was going on but decided to just listen.
"Yes?"
"What are your plans for today?"
Blyx thought for a while and came up with nothing. I'm not even doing a single thing for the past two months. She hesitates for a second but answered still unsure.
"Nothing. I think I'll just sleep in."
"You should get some sunlight."
Carmen cuts in quite quickly.
"Uhm.. okay?"
"I'll come along with you after breakfast. Carly won't be joining us since she'll go to Jerdon's house."
Carmen just loved to tease both of them since she thought they were cute. Plus, she was making memories. Blyx looks down at her food and played with them. Carly did the same.
"Uhm. Okay."
Blyx said with a smile. Carly saw Blyx's smile and broke her already fragile heart. Why is she smiling? Is she happy to get rid of me? Carly can't help but thought. After they ate, Carly went to her merry way to end things up once and for all. As for Carmen and Blyx, they went to the garden and took a seat at the glass chairs which was located in the middle of the big garden.
