Chapter 7: Mistakes
Previous ChapterNext ChapterMistakes
Continuing the argument, Twilight took it as an escape to look for Rarity, since everypony else didn't seem to care. She opens the door as quietly and slower as she can, just managing to sneak out of it without creating the smallest of squeaks. Closing the door behind her, She stops to make sure that nopony heard her leave, since she wants to do this alone. The first place she thought she would check is Raritys home, figuring it was the most likely of places she would be. Starting her way there, Twilight kept to herself, keeping her head low to the ground thinking about thing.
Reaching the door, Twilight taps on the door with her hoof, and listens for a reply. Hearing nothing, she turns around and walks away, only to be stopped by the sound of sobbing. Perking her ears up to figure out where it's coming from, She points out the sobs coming from Raritys bedroom on the second floor. Returning to the door, she opens it, and enters into the house, closing the door behind her. The sounds of sobbing rush into Twilights ears as she makes her way to the stair case. Every step she makes, She can hear Rarity cry more and more. Almost at the top of the stair case, One of the wooden planks in the stair case creaked, Which Rarity heard, and in return stopped crying.
"Who's there!" Rarity projected, "What do you want!"
"It's me." She answered, "It's Twilight"
Twilight climbed the rest of the stairs, making it into Raritys room. Entering the room, she could see Rarity lying down on her bed, with a bundle of roses, and a crumpled up piece of paper.
"What are you doing here" She started, trying to hide her tears
"Rarity..I know you're upset, and probably don't want to see anypony right now. But..I just want to make sure your okay"
"No, It's alright Twilight. Thank you for coming"
Pushing the bundle of roses aside, along with the piece of paper, Rarity signaled Twilight to come sit on the bed. Taking her seat on the bed, Twilight places her hoof on Rarity and starts to rub her back.
"Everything is going to be alright. You will...WE will get through this. Together." Twilight told her.
"But everything isn't alright!" Rarity sobbed, "First you, and now Cheerilee! As much as I like her, I can't just simply waltz back in. She cheated on me!"
The white mare tried to hold in her tears the best she can, but it was no use. She was bawling like a baby, soaking her bed sheets even more. Twilight was doing the best she could to comfort Rarity, while all the while, trying to hide her own emotions. Looking over at the crumpled paper, Twilight reaches over for it, and notices that there is some writing on it. Opening it up, she realizes that it was the love letter she had wrote for Rarity. This brought some sort of comfort to the purple mare, giving her the ability to give her full attention back the sobbing pony.
"You know Rarity. We should go back over to Cheerilees place so that you can talk to her."
Wiping the tears from her face, Rarity manages to speak through sniffles, "You're probably right. Let me clean up here and we will go"
Arriving at the house, the lights are all off except for one, with a single shadow creeping out from it. Twilight knocks on the door before the shadow disappears, and Cheerilee answers the door.
"Oh, hello girls" Cheerilee says
"Hi, may we come in?" Twilight asked
Cheerilee nodded her head, bringing both Rarity and Twilight into the living room. There is an open bottle of wine in the table, along side a glass full of it.
"You and Rarity need to talk" She starts
"I know. And there's nothing I could ever do that would ever fix this." the school teacher responded. "And Rarity, You know I care deeply about you"
"And did you care deeply about me while you were having sex with one of my friends?" She quickly cuts in, raising her voice just a bit. "Did you care deeply about me while you watched me break down and cry in front of everypony? Huh? Did you care about me then!?"
"Rarity I.."
"No. Like you said, There is nothing you can do to fix this. I thought you were different, I really thought we had something."
"But..we did"
"Did we? Everyone must have been fake for you to do such a thing. At least with Twilight everything I felt was real!"
It was real...Oh Twilight, I'm so so so so sorry!
"Rarity, We can fix this! I promise!"
"No. I have been through just enough. I'm sorry, but we're done."
"Don't leave..please! I..I...I love you!"
"But I dont love you." Infact..I despise you right about now "I'm sorry, but, I'm leaving now. Let's go Twilight"
She gets up and follows Rarity out of the house, slamming the door behind them.
"What was that?" Twilight asked
"I don't know Twilight. But it feels good. Shall we head back to my place?"
"Yeah that sounds alright"
Back at Raritys, The two are sittings on the couch, sharing stories and drinking tea. Rarity was in a much better mood then before, trying to forget about recent events. Shes just happy that she has such a good friend to help her through it. Laughter died down, before an awkward pause fell upon them. Twilight stared at her for a few seconds, before reaching in for a quick peck on the lips.
"Twilight, What was that?"
"Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to, I just"
"I'm not ready for anything like that, And besides Twilight, I don't think we should even do that considering.."
"No, you're right. I'm sorry, it wont happen again. It's just hard to fight my feeling when I'm around you"
"I know how much you think of me Twilight, Which is why I don't want to hurt you anymore then I have"
"Yeah, I guess you're right. I'll head home for the night. Try to feel better okay?"
She does care an awful lot about me, And I do care an awful lot about her...
"Alright Twilight. Goodnight, and see you later"
Rarity watched as Twilight walked out her door, her friends head lower to the ground then usual.
Oh what am I saying. I love her! And I always have!
"Twilight wait!" She screamed, but her friend was already gone. "Wait!!!"
