Chapter 479 A Serious Conversation



~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Airship Docks, Capital City Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 11:16 AM)~~~

The silence between all of us isn\'t unfamiliar to me... There have been many times back on Earth when the family wasn\'t talking to each other. But this is the first time I\'ve ever been this mad at Hailey. She\'s done something I never thought she would do.

She\'s taken the Prank War too far and too seriously... But I shouldn\'t be blaming only her... It\'s my fault in certain regards as well... I wouldn\'t use such a cruel prank... Mine are more practical and get in the way for a time.

"I\'m not sure what I should say right now... I thought it would\'ve gone differently than it has..." 

We\'re standing at the Airship Docks, and this was supposed to be a moment between Sally and I, but it\'s been ruined by what\'s happened.

Sally has everything she needs to start her final tier-up quest, and when she\'s done, she plans to start looking for her father. 

My angry girlfriend is ignoring Hailey in a way that makes it seem she doesn\'t exist. 

"Cera... I\'m really happy that we got to meet up, and when I\'m going to start looking for my father, I\'ll let you know. Hopefully, you\'ll get finished up with everything you\'re doing."

She turns to me and takes a step and leans her head into my chest, and wraps her arms around me. Giving me a hug, and one that I sense is full of pain. For multiple reasons.

"I\'m going to miss you, Sally... It was a great time meeting up with you here for some time, and please contact me if you need help or just want to talk..."

She lets go and turns her head to the arriving and stationed Airship. The one that she\'s leaving on.

"I\'ll be sure to keep in contact, and that goes the same for you, Cera. You should reach out to me and not always wait for me."

My hand rests on the top of her head as I look down at her. The height difference isn\'t that big, but it\'s enough to do this. Tears are quickly forming, and I spend a couple of seconds wiping them away. 

As a goodbye, I bring her in and give her a deep kiss. One filled with everything that I feel about her.

Her Airship is starting to board, and she takes off to leave Hailey and me alone. I look at her, and she looks like any girl would when she recognizes she destroyed a friendship. I can\'t say if Sally will ever forgive Hailey for what she did, but there is always some hope.

It\'s not easy seeing her go, but this is a part of life. Bittersweetness is a feeling that I\'m not familiar with, but I think I\'m experiencing it right now.

"Now what..."

The one who dampened the mood, to begin with, decides to speak up, and I can\'t even muster the will to stop the long sigh from coming out of my mouth.

"I don\'t know what you want me to say, Hailey... I knew that you\'d retaliate with a Prank after the stuff I pulled about the Raid you were doing... But that was all superficial damage... It doesn\'t have a lasting impact on our relationship..."

<br/>She\'s trying her hardest to meet my eyes, but every time she stares into them for more than a few seconds, she loses the nerve she\'s built.

"Making this up to Sally is something that might not be possible, huh..."

That\'s an understatement. 

After all the things that Sally has been through in her life, a trap that makes you see your worst nightmare would do great damage to her. I\'m very glad that she didn\'t have to see anything about her time as a Slave for the James Family. 

But seeing me with another woman and not being able to do anything about it will have lasting effects. Even though it wasn\'t me, and it was a magical illusion. She\'s hurt looking at me... I don\'t like that... It sucks.

"Listen, We\'ve taken this Prank War between us way too far... And you\'re not the only one to blame... There were times when I could\'ve stopped, but I didn\'t... But I never did something that was outright cruel to you..."

My pride as the younger brother wouldn\'t let me concede defeat, and the same can be said for Hailey since she\'s my older sister. 

"I could spend all day apologizing... I doubt that would make anything better for you, Cera... Just know that I love you and care about you... You\'re my little brother after all..."

~~~(POV: Saliandra Orvello)~~~

~~~(Location: Airship, Leaving Capital City Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 11:23 AM)~~~

My mind keeps replaying what I saw in that magic trap, and every time I go back to it, I hate Hailey just a little more... I never understood the problems of having a sibling, but after going through something that was meant for Cera, I know that I\'ll never want any.

"What kind of crap has that family put each other through..."

Saying it like this makes it a little funny, but only at the thought of all the Adamo family members pranking each other. Not just Cera and Hailey. But those thoughts are quickly squashed as I lay down in my bed and look at the ceiling.

"Cera... He\'d never do that to me... But seeing the illusion hurt way more than I thought it would... Seeing him doing that with another woman killed me a little..."

Never in my life did I experience so many emotions at one time.

I\'m just glad that it was all a part of the magic trap and none of it was real... But I regret letting the pain show whenever Cera looked at me.

He saw that when I saw him, I was in pain. And that\'s another reason I\'m extremely mad with Hailey.

"As much as I don\'t want to see her face again... She\'s my boyfriend\'s sister, and I have to deal with her..." 

A large part of me just wants to hate Hailey forever, but I know she\'s not alone in taking the blame. Cera can be a powerful motivator. Both for revenge and for love. 

"I wonder if they\'re talking about it right now..."

Knowing Cera, he\'s trying to solve the problem right now.

~~~(POV: Hailey Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Cera\'s Apartment, Capital City Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 12:06 PM)~~~

"I don\'t know what I\'m going to do with you, Hailey... You\'re my sister, but right now, I don\'t even want to be in the same room as you after what you did to Sally... She didn\'t deserve any of that..."

He\'s not wrong... Sally is a sweet and kind girl who hasn\'t done a thing to be in a trap like that... But my brother is someone who can go for a round in one of those traps, in my opinion. But that\'s neither here nor there.

"Maybe we shouldn\'t talk for a while... Perhaps space is the best thing to get us past this..."

It\'s the best suggestion I\'ve got, and besides, it feels like I\'m going to die from the pressure he\'s putting on me. Figuratively, of course.

"Yeah, just leave, and I\'ll contact you when I\'m ready. I have some things to take care of here. I hope I don\'t see you for some time..."

Hearing those words hurts way more than I thought they would, but I swallow the pain and leave. I deserve all this after that...

It doesn\'t take long for me to get out of the apartment and I make my way to another part of the city. More specifically, the Steel Legion guild. They should have my tier-up item done by now.
