*Do you think Vanilla is a good character? Or I'm making Ber too bad? And most of y'all think Mistress is too perfect huh? She sounds like my dream come true though ಥ‿ಥ *

Ber
An entire week and still no sign of Vanilla.....
Today, being Saturday, would make an extra day, and the thought was keeping me on edge.
Mistress had said she knew nowhere in Vnio so we should have heard something, anything from her.
But we didn't.
Even Chocolate had gone missing only for five hours before we found him back at the manor whining and complaining about the fact it was dark and cold outside.
And talking of Coco....
Mistress had explained to us that he had used some pills after Vanilla's disappearance, possibly to cope with everyone and not breakdown and be sad...
It was always Coco's thing to be happy anyway....
She had told us to prepare for the aftereffects and of course, they came, just that it seemed to come with way more force.
He was irritated at the slightest thing, mostly at Mel who was like a baby frightened and running away from every single thing.
Mel wouldn't, couldn't, even cook properly anymore.
He always mixed everything up and the thought of something that always calmed him being so hard for him broke him continuously but three days after Coco's outburst at him, he was back to his normal self, calming Mel and apologizing.
Cream....
Cream had been quiet since Friday.
He still was the same, sticking around with me, or always laying on Mel, staring at Coco but wouldn't say a word to us, or even Mistress.
And though none of us complained about Vanilla's silence, we could not stand his.
Mistress says that we should give him time, and he would talk.
One week...
And he still hadn't.
And me....
The cut I had on my arm I did when I was on the kitchen that wasn't deep, thankfully because Cream saved me was already going anyway....
Every time I thought of it....
How I had shoved her....
The only reasonable thing I can say is the thought of loving someone so much that I nearly put Court into a comatose state made me realize how much I loved her and my emotions began to blink panic lights and I just.....
And now, I know that if anyone had hurt the boys, just a pinch, I knew I would have done same, even worse.
Because I loved them.
I loved HER.
And I just wanted her back to be honest.
The whole week had been hell, and school was the one thing keeping us all sane, making us not talk about what happened, and only see ourselves when it was time for dinner because we now stayed in our respective rooms but now that it was the weekend....
We all had to face each other.
Mistress had said she was sad she was leaving us alone but she also said that it would be good for us so we could finally talk.
Cream is laying on Mel's laps as the male fingers his hair, reading a book.
Coco is next to me on the couch, his legs on my body as he whistlea and paints his nails black.
I was reading....
But I speak first "Why black?"
"Hmm?" Coco asks absentmindedly before looking at me and smiling "Blacks pretty"
I grumble "I'm prettier"
He giggles, leaning in and kissing my cheeks "Damn right you are Sir"
Mel and Cream don't say anything.
I turn to face them "Hey, would you guys like ice cream?"
I know for a fact that even though Mel did not have a lot of weaknesses, except from his excessive fear of staring at anyone, or talking in publicly or at the right volume...
He loves ice creams.
Just as much as Cream and Coco did.
Mel slowly let's the book go down as he says "Ice cream? That sounds... Nice"
I nod "Yeah. We haven't had that in a while"
Coco suddenly yells "I want ice cream!"
I face him with a frown "You're next to my damn eardrum you...!"
"Ah ah" Coco replies wriggling his finger at my face "If you curse, I tell Mistress"
I stare daggers at him, looking away "Whatever"
He giggles again.
I look at Cream "Would you like Ice cream?"
I do not expect him to talk.
But he does.
"I'd like that"
Everyone turns to him as he sits up, ever since Vanilla left, he was back to his ever nude state, except this time he was wearing shorts but no shirt as he says "Vanilla flavoured to be precise"
I frown.
Really?
Did he really have to say that?
Mel seems to think of it for a while as he says "I'd like chocolate mixed vanilla too"
I don't even have to hear Coco but I know he'd say within the lines 'vanilla'
Fuckers.
All three of them.
I sigh, standing up "Find, I'd get that. Is that all?"
Coco sighs and checks his nails "And come back with her"
Though that spikes my emotions to a degree, I fight the urge to fling something at his head and say "Sure"
Alex drives around Vnio, and all the possible eateries, but no one has vanilla.
At all.
I call Cream and tell him but all the male says is "Go to Aeira"
I frown "Why would I go there? They barely have anything from there and nothing good comes from there, ever"
There's a sigh and a "I'm from Aeira Ber"
Ah fuck.
"They make the best ice creams there, better than the things here anyway and it's always homely. You should go over there"
And though I want to say no, I find myself holding four tubs of vanilla ice cream and walking out of the place, sighing until I freeze.
Infront of me is a sight I did not expect to see.
A sight I didn't like in fact.
Vanilla.... And that stupid scholarship boy.
And he's...
He's holding her hand as they both walk somewhere.
The urge to kill is coming but remembering what happens when I do that so instead, I get into the car and tell Alex to follow them.
We get to his house and see her enter through their windows, still smiling, laughing even....
How long had she been here?
And were they dating?
And how the fuck was she in Aeira?
Though all thoughts pointed at the fact that I should go in, pull her by her arms and take her back home.
I take out my phone and send a message to out group chat.
Just three words
I found her.
The phone begins to buzz immediately as they all ask how she is.
Coco's question the most annoying.
'Can I still lick her?'
How that even works into this scenario irks me.
My phone buzzes for the last time and I see a message from Mistress.
'Come home, now'
When I do, everyone's asking if she's okay, asking if I saw her on the road crying or something and asked where she was.
And why I didn't bring her back.
But when I say I found her in Aeira, in a boys house nonetheless, happy, their happiness died down.
Mistress says "Makes sense now why we didn't find her in Vnio"
"But Aeira is like a five mile drive from here" Mel says.
"She had seven days to walk Mel" Mistress replies "Or possibly, someone took her there"
"You should have brought her home though" Coco grumbles.
"No it's good he didn't bring her back"
Everyone turns to Mistress as she says "If she's happy, wherever she is...."
"She'd be happier here" Cream cuts in.
Mistress continues like he had not said a word "We'd let her go, but I am still her guardian so I'd have to go and ask if she's okay there, just to be sure"
"Can we come along?" Mel asks and praise the lord, he's using his puppy eyes that Mistress always falls for.
"Yes sweetheart" She says smiling, running her hand on his face as she says "You all can. I suppose you all have an apology to give but if she's okay there, we're coming back without her"
Yes we did owe an apology.
But there was no in hell I was coming back without Nilla.
