I saw Lovina's back running further and further away from us. My heart was beating painfully in my chest; I heard it pounding in my ear. Looking at Antonio, I tried not to cry. This wasn't how things were supposed to go. This wasn't…Antonio stared at her, his eyes looked like he was ready to cry as well. I looked back to the ground and took a deep breath then grabbed my hair. It took me a lot of will power not to scream right now. Antonio started to run a bit. I grabbed his hand before he got too far.

"Felicia!" Antonio looked at me with a worried face. "I have to go after her, I have to-" I grabbed onto him as fast as I could. "Let go!" He tried to fight my grip but I held on as hard as I could. "Felicia, please. I need to tell her-"

"No!" I screamed at him. He shut his mouth immediately. Even I was surprised I screamed at him. I closed my eyes and tried to calm down. "S-Sorry…" I looked at him, fighting off tears. "Just trust me. It's best to let her calm down first." My heart was twisting in my chest terribly. I refused to cry at a time like this.

"I think we need to calm you down first Felicia." Antonio said gently despite his slight hysteric moment earlier. I looked everywhere else but him at the moment. Shutting my eyes, I tried to calm myself. This was such a mess. I was way too optimistic. I jumped into it carelessly. I didn't think to talk to Antonio in his room or somewhere more private. Why didn't I think she would see us in the hall? Why? My hands let go Antonio's arm. I played the scene that just happened in my head and tried to see how she must have felt. She clearly likes Antonio a lot. I could always tell she liked him despite her saying she didn't. I mean, he was the closest guy to get to Lovina besides Francis and Gilbert. Even then, she would sit away from them. Lovina would blush here and there when Antonio smiled at her or said something silly to her. I looked at Antonio; who was staring in the direction Lovina ran off to. This clearly hurt him too because whatever chance he had might be close to nothing now. I sighed. Of course she wouldn't listen to us. She caught us talking about her and out of context; our words could be taken the wrong way. It was such terrible timing.

"We have to find her." Antonio insisted. Now that the tears didn't threaten to spill, I looked him in the face and shook my head. "Why? Why can't we just find her and clear this all up?"

"We have to tell Gilbert and Francis and ask what to do." I replied. He sighed and ran his hand through his hair. Looking down, he looked at everything besides me. Silence filled the space between us. It was wrapping itself around me like thick smoke.

"…Fine." Antonio said after a while, looking pained still. "Let's go to my room and see what they're up to." He started to walk off without me.

"A-Ah, wait up!" I said, walking quickly to catch up to his longer strides. I didn't want to walk to Francis and Gilbert and talk. I wanted to find my sister and apologize to her and clear everything. Maybe it was better to give her time. What if it wasn't? I have to push these negative thoughts out of my head and hope for the better. My chest was aching and all I wanted to do right now was sleep.

"Feli," I looked up at Antonio. He wore a sad smile on his face. "It'll be fine." Fumbling to get his keys out of his pocket, I nodded.

"I-if you say so…" I mumbled back. He opened the door and I heard soft music coming from the trio's room.

"Ayy!" I heard Gil say. "How's it goin'?" Antonio and I walked in, looking down. Antonio was still silent and proceeded to plop down on his bed. Francis turned the music off. "Not good."

"Terrible. The worst and any other words that go along with bad." Antonio muffled through his pillow. Francis raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"What happened? Felicia, dear, sit." Francis said to me. Gilbert moved a bit from his spot on the bed and I gently sat down.

"The worst happened." Antonio repeated sadly from his bed. Francis and Gil looked at me for an explanation since they knew their friend was not in the state to talk.

"Let's just say, the plan failed and my sorella hates both of us now." I felt my shoulders slump, realizing she really would hate us. I wanted to cry and cry but I shouldn't. There was silence. I was starting to really hate silence. Gilbert cursed underneath his breath.

"Things aren't turning out as planned right now." Gil said as he ran his hands through his hair. Francis sighed.

"Things are rather difficult right now."

"No, duh." Antonio said moodily. Francis ignored him and folded his legs. He was thinking rather hard as he put his cheek in his hand and rested it on his thigh.

"We should give her time." Francis said.

"Felicia already said that."

"Well, it's best to follow that advice, isn't it?" Antonio sighed. He was itching for something to do. There was this huge mess with Lovina and then the untouched issue of Ludwig…I really wanted to sleep forever. This wasn't the high school life I wanted. This wasn't the love life I wanted. I felt a tear hit the back of my hand.

"Feli?" Gilbert asked. Ugh, I didn't want to cry but I couldn't push the tears back.

"I-I'm fine…" I said with a shaky voice. More tears were spilling from my eyes. I mumbled curses under my breath. I felt arms wrap around me.

"I'm…sorry." I heard Antonio whisper. "You were hurting too and I didn't bother thinking about you." I sniffled. "I was selfish and…I'm really sorry Feli." I couldn't hold back my tears anymore. Hugging him back, I started to cry into his chest.
