Love Attempts

As soon as you left Rarity sat back down at the couch angrily. She wiped the many tears from her face along with some mascara.

The party died down a minute later making people leave out of awkwardness. Rarity sat alone at the bakery in her own thoughts. Out of the corner of her eye was the small gift brought to her before she snapped. Out of curiosity Rarity grabbed the box and stared at it.

"All because of this stupid box that has garbage in it! Oh what did I expect? The guy was homeless anyways. As if he was going to get me something nice. Let's see what trash he got me now!" Rarity popped open the lid and looked inside with wide eyes.

"Oh.....my." It was a diamond necklace. One that she yearned for too long. Grabbing the necklace she brought it closer to her eyes to see if it was real or not.

It was.

Rarity could feel her bottom lip quivering while her vision got blurry. The guy who bothered her since the start of school. The guy who humiliated her far too many times. The guy who's breaking point finally shattered...by her. They guy who loved her with all his might was you.

"What have I done...." Rarity cried her heart out those couple of minutes realizing that she was a fool for denying your many attempts. That may've been the last time a guy gave their full undivided attention to her, tried many times to woo her heart which she pushed away without consideration.

Clutching the necklace close to her heart Rarity discovered who her heart desires.

You.

The times the two of you holded hands came into memory. The reason why her hand lingered around his was revealed, but some part of her took over and pushed the feeling away.

The time where she hugged you came into mind next. It was the first time where Rarity had noticed how fit you really were. The fuzzy feeling she felt during the hug that made her pull him back when he tried to leave.

Lastly there was the time Rarity slept with you. It was true she did cry when she heard what you've been through. When you called out making sure she was okay, Rarity opened the door and hugged you like any good friend would do.

But friends usually don't hug each other until they wake up. The way she clung on to your body not wanting to let go to her everything.

"I-i'm in love....and I didn't realize it till now....I have to go find him!" Rarity put the necklace around her neck and made a beeline out the door in hopes of finding you.

Rarity didn't notice however was Pinkie Pie who never moved an inch since Rarity's outburst. Pinkie Pie felt extremely guilty that she lied to Rarity now it came to this. Ruining a birthday party of a friend no less. This wasn't whi she truly was and all because of a boy who loved Rarity whom loved him back.

"I got to fix this.....somehow."

Rarity ran to the right where she had last seen you go when you left.

"Please be okay!" Running uphill bright lights were seen throughout the area. Rarity assumed that she was near Canterlot Inn. Ignoring the lights Rarity continued to run until she heard your voice:

"Mom, Dad, your boy's coming home!" Rarity looked up to the direction of your face and was mortified to see what you were doing.

"Suicide..." She muttered. Rarity gasped in horror as she saw you jump of and started to plummet to the ground.

"Darling! Stop!"  She screamed but it was too late. The last sound she heard was a loud thud followed hy silence. Your body was more twisted then a pretzel. Limbs in places they shouldn't be.

Rarity screamed as loud as she could. "No! No! Nooo!" Moments later a huge crowd of people came outside to see what was going on only to see a motionless body surrounded with blood.

"Someone call 911 quick!" A man shouted while he ran up to check your body. "He's got a pulse! Hurry people!"

Rarity watched the paramedics take her true love inside the ambulance. That's something a girl shouldn't see at all.

"Alright ma'am please tell us what happened."

Rarity struggled between words. "I-I jus-just c-came here t-to l-lo-look f-for him when I-I saw his b-b-bod-body...." Rarity didn't continue as a result of her crying again.

"Hey don't worry ma'am, he's in good hands now. One more question, do you know why he did this?" Rarity's tears came into a halt when she heard the question. Her wobbly hand pointed to her before she bursted into tears once more. All the man could do was hug her.

For the last month Rarity kept to herself. She avoided her friends when they approach her. When they do manage to see her and ask about you, she walked the other direction trying hard not to cry by hugging the necklace given to her.

Rarity would take her time going to Mr. Cranky Doodles class having the empty seat next to her....just reminding Rarity what she did. Whenever the teachers called on her during class she simply said I don't know before hiding her face in her arms.

During lunch Rarity would grab her tray and sat down at your former seat. The table itself made you feel a lot better because it was where you sat. She would finish her lunch quickly and put her head holding the necklace next to her.

It got to the point where Principal Celestia called Rarity to her office asking what was wrong. Rarity answered again with an I don't know. In reality Rarity did know....she missed you dearly.

The usual flirting followed by the attempts were absent for two whole months. When Rarity got home the first month was filled with crying herself to sleep. The second month she would lay down on her bed and hug her diamond necklace.

She even went so far as to ignoring her own sister by yelling at her to go away. That's the basic routine Rarity went through during you absence.

Her friends however weren't as quiet.

"What's wrong with my sister?" Sweetie Belle asked the six girls. Fed up with the constant neglecting Sweetie Belle wanted to find out what was going on.

"To be honest none of us know why she's likes this but we know what caused her to." Sunset Shimmer answered.

"Um.....isn't that the same thing?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"It'll be better if we explained. You see there was this guy she knew that bugged her all the time by aski-"

"Asking her out!" Sweetie Belle blurted out already knowing about you. "Rarity used to come home everyday and tell me about this guy who would flirt with her and then ask her out everyday!"

"Were you at Rarity's surprise party then?"

"I couldn't make it because someone forgot to invite." Sweetie Belle snarled referring to Pinkie Pie.

"It wasn't my fault that I forgot to!" Pinkie Pie lied knowing that she purposely did that under Rarity's wishes if something bad were to happen which in a way did.

"Right anyways, he was gone for the whole day which angered your sister. When he did come back with a small box and presented it to Rarity she yelled at him."

"Ooh bad move Rarity hates small gifts ever since someone gave her a ketchup packet in one." Sweetie Belle chuckled as she remembered the face her sister made when she found the packet.

"Funny but this is serious. Rarity slapped the present which I assume is the necklace she has right now." Sunset Shimmer pointed at at Rarity whom at the time placed the necklace on the table.

"Wow he gave her a diamond necklace! That's cool! But why is she so sad then?"

"When Rarity threw his sketchbook at the fireplace he sort a lost it. Last I saw him was when he left. None of us have a clue where he went so we tried to asked Rarity but she just keeps on avoiding us." The rest of the girls nodded in agreement.

"Maybe he died?" Sweetie Belle inquired. The girls gasped in shock. "What!?"

"Sweetie Belle that's a horrible thought!" Applejack thought about it. "It would explain a lot but that's beside the point."

"If we can't find out the easy when then we'll force it out her!" Rainbow Dash suggested with a mixed reaction.

"You can't do that to my sister!"

"It's probably for the best."

"It's not very nice...if you don't mind me saying so."

"Ah don't mind as long as it doesn't break her whole darn heart."

Pinkie Pie had been quiet these last two months too. Knowing that she made all this happen with that lie haunts her at night.

"Wait do you think Pinkie?"

"Huh? Oh yeah we should do!" Pinkie lied not knowing what the conversation was about. People should say yes to everything right?

"Alright forcing her is a go but let's not make her cry okay?" The others minus Pinkie who still had no idea what was going on nodded their heads. Sweetie Belle hesitantly agreed wanting her sister to go back to normal.

Three of them went left, two went right and Applejack went to the center in case she decided to jump over the table.

"Rarity!" Hearing the sound of her friend made Rarity snap out of her saddened trance. Seeing her three friends to her right she attempted to go left only to be met by her other two friends. Soon after she got up and jumped from the table only to be caught by Applejack.

"Ah got her!" Applejack cried out gathering around her friends.

"Let me go!" Rarity begged with no luck. There is always a Plan B. "Rover! Fido! Spot!"

Three bulky students blocked Applejack's way. "Let go of Rarity before we make you!" Applejack trying to get past them failed as the trio attempted to grab Rarity from Applejack's hold.

"Let go of Rarebear will ya!" A voice called stopping Rarity's train of thought.

"It can't be." Rarity murmured now easily popping out from Applejack's grasp. Looking to the direction of the voice she saw no one. It was her imagination again.

Rarity was on the verge of tears as she ran out of the cafeteria to avoid her friends once more.

The following day was more or less the same for poor Rarity. Headed to Science Class Rarity sighed sadly as the memories she shared with you in that class came into mind.

'Even if there wasn't gravity on earth, I'd still fall for you.'

'Rarity if you wanted to hold hands you could've just asked....I don't mind.'

'Are you tired? Cause you've been running around in my mind all day!'

'Our future is so bright to together!'

"I miss you so much darling." She kissed the diamond before walking into the class where she saw what seemed like a new student sitting at your chair. It was hard to tell what the student looked like because of the hoodie that covered their face.

"That's not your seat." Rarity whispered coldly about to teach the student a piece of her mind until Mr. Cranky Doodle spoke up.

"Please take your sit Rarity." Cursing under her breath Rarity sat down at the far edge of the table holding her precious diamond from the potential thief.

"Alright class....and welcome about Chuckles, haven't seen you in a while." Rarity heart skipped a beat.

"Is it really him?"

"Again with this Chuckles nonsense? Here I am thinking you forgot about me." The student replied removing the hood revealing none other than you.

"I can never forget a student like you? Class please turn to page 704." Rarity was shaking in her seat. There you were back into her life.

You placed your hand on the textbook. "You know you want to Rarebear." Squealing silently Rarity quickly scooted her chair next to yours and went under your arm before placing her hand on top of yours.

"Am I dreaming?" She questioned you.

"Does this feel real enough for you?" You answered locking your fingers with Rarity's and holding her hand tightly. Rarity's eyes began to water as her life shined brighter than ever.

When class ended you offered her a piggy back ride which she graciously accepted. Feeling her arms wrap firmly around your neck you stood up prouder than ever as you walked out of the class to the cafeteria.

Pinkie Pie watched you walk in the cafeteria with Rarity on your back. When she said she was going to fix this she meant it. Finding out what really did happen to you yesterday on the internet Pinkie visited the hospital and told you about what was happening to your Rarebear.

Hearing that she was at a all time low you asked the people at the hospital if you could leave. Afterwards Pinkie Pie filled you in on what you missed the last two months. Not wanting to spoil the surprise you put on a hoodie to conceal your identity.

Even if Pinkie Pie couldn't have you she was happy that her friend could. It was for the best anyways. However she never told a soul about the lie, some things are left unspoken.

"Rarity, your wetting my shirt!" You joked teasing Rarity of her endless tears.

"I can't help it darling. You don't know how happy I am right now!" Rarity sighed happily relaxing her head on top of your head.

"Two bowls of fruit salad please." You politely asked Mrs. Smith.

"Oh hey deary! I haven't seen you in forever." Mrs. Smith pointed out much to your amusement.

"Yeah someone in particular missed me the most." You nuzzled Rarity's cheek with your own causing her to blush madly.

"Oh I see, well here you go. Have a nice day lovebirds!" Rarity hid her embarrassment by burying her face in your shoulder. You walked to your table waving at the five girls who changed your life for the best. You sat down at your usual seat with Rarity on your lap as you fed her.

"Here comes the airplane Rarebear!" You mimicked the sounds an airplane would make trying to get Rarity to open her mouth.

"I will not be fed like a child!" Looks like she needs some encouragement. You gently placed a kiss in between her eyes causing Rarity to stutter.

"I-i y-mmpf!" You placed the spoon in her mouth pumping your fist in victory. .

"I can't believe you did that!" Rarity complained taking the spoon out of her mouth.

"You know ya liked it Rarebear." You teased kissing her on the nose this time. She happily hummed hugging you in the process.

"Please don't ever do that again." Rarity asked referring to your suicidal attempt.

"Trust me Rarebear." You reassured her. "I got too much to live for now." You grabbed her waist and pulled her closer.

"Oh and what is that?" Rarity queered wrapping her arms around your neck leaning further in.

"That is if you take up on my offer." You holded your breath waiting for Rarity to reject you again.

She didn't.

"I'll have to take up on that offer then." You both leaned together as your lips touch hers.
