Chapter Five

It's tragic the way life is, how ruthless it can be, the way it plays with our heartstrings

FIONA'S POINT OF VIEW

"How's Journalism?" I asked Violet as we ate Avocado and toast.

"It's. . .stressful, but it's me, It's like the lecturers are seeing into me. It's so exciting. I am thinking of adding Literature or something. I do love it though, but I'm thinking of doing something that relates to Writing." She replies excited.

"You're going to be a badass writer in the next ten years" Cara smiled.

"Yeah!" Violet smiled.

"How's Psychology?" Danielle asked, gulping down juice.

"It's exciting. It's all I've ever wanted" I replied truthfully "How's business Danielle and how's Theatre, Cara?."

"Y'all know it's not just Business and Theatre we are studying. Dad wants us to have knowledge of it all, but it's nice" Danielle answered.

"Theatre is. . .sweet. I get to kiss numerous guys, Spanish, Indian, Nigerian, English. Theatre is good. I'm getting popularity, I'm still no sure how I feel about that, but my professors are a saying I'm going places, so I can't wait." Cara said. We chuckled at her animated expression.

"It's nice that we are all happy in our different fields, In the next 10 years, We'll be happy with the love of our lives" Violet said smiling.

Little did we know that life has different things in plan for each of us.

"How's Luciano?" I asked

"My baby brother is fine, shinning and glowing day by day. He is a big boy now, and Dad is so in love with him. I feel jealous." Cara smiled, love shinning in her eyes.

"Thank you guys so much" I said again.

"Fiona, give us a tour of this your University" Cara said getting up from the cold sand.

I stretched my hand up as she dragged me up "Really?."

"Yup" Violet said dragging Danielle up.

"It's just my first week, I don't really know a lot of places" I said dusting sand off my jean.

"Well, take us to the places you know" Cara said, moving in the direction of the car, where the men in black were still waiting for us.

________

"This is the Lecture Hall."

"This is the Law Pavilion."

"These are the mini marts."

"This is the Admin block."

I went on and on showing them different buildings.

"Fiona, We've seen all the boring places, don't you have Clubs here? At least let's have some fun before we go back to school" Cara said, smiling.

"Eh, I don't think so. Clubs are not really my ground anymore" I said quietly.

"Is it because of Luca?, Girls y'all are afraid of Club and Fun, you're afraid of what might happen when you're in there, you have to conquer your fears babes. You are different now. You can protect yourselves and we got our men in black if something goes wrong. Come on guys, loosen up a bit" Cara lectured, smiling.

"I don't kn -- maybe we should. I'm game" Danielle smiled.

"There is no Luke here but there are varieties of Luke Chamberlain. Let's face our demons head on!" Violet exclaimed.

Taking a deep breath, I said "I'm not afraid of Luke here, it's just that Caden might be there."

"Oh, Really?."

"Yeah" I said as I explained what transpired between Caden and I few days ago.

"More and more reasons to fuck up this guy" Cara said angrily.

"No fucking up anybody, Let's just go."

________

"Wow, this place is banging!"

"It's hot."

"Weird name, Club Blue."

We were about to enter when the  bouncer stopped us, but Cara walked to him, and whispered in his ear.

"What did you say to him" I asked her as soon as we were comfortably seated.

She smiled, saying "I told him I'll suck his dick."

We bursted out laughing. We ordered shots after shots, drinking our problems away. I was getting dizzy and tired, I smiled at the sight before me, Violet has fallen asleep on the table, Cara is puking her guts on the floor, Danielle is trying to wake Violet and to stop Cara.

"Fiona are you okay? Can you watch Violet? I need to clean up Cara" I think heard Danielle say

"Fiona!"

"Yes. I'm fine. Are you with your pocket knife?" I asked.

"Yeah, I am" She answered taking Cara in the direction of the toilet, I think.

I shifted my gaze to Violet who was mumbling jargons, I was about to wake her when she opened an eye, scaring me.

"Vee, wake up."

"Am I dead?" She whispered.

"Girl, you are not. Are you okay?."

"Yeah, I'll be fine. Where are Danielle and Cara?."

"They are in t -- coming, they are coming" I said looking at Danielle and Cara who were walking up to us.

"Are you okay Cara?."

"Yeah, I just need to seat down" She said sitting.

We were all quiet for a while, calming our selves, relishing in this drunken moment, knowing fully well that it would be months before we are together again.

"Ehm Girls, Fiona don't freak out but I think I just saw Cade, He's coming over" Violet whispered.

At the mention of Caden, I looked up and there he was in his signature attire, walking up to us, to me.

"That's him?" Cara asked.

"Yes, that's Cade" Danielle said painfully, She and Caden formed a bond back in Smallville, his sudden departure hurted her.

"Oh. . .good" Cara smiled mischievously but I wasn't focused on that, Caden has taken over my mind, he got to us looking fresh and fine, I would have been deceived if I didn't know him.

"Hi" He said.

I was about to reply him when I saw Cara getting up angrily "Cara stop!" I screamed, getting up but I was too slow as she had already swung her fist, breaking Caden's jaw.

"Caden." I screamed moving towards him, deja vu flooded me as my vision clouded and Caden doubled, a pair of dark eye were what I saw before the darkness consumed me.
