Chapter*Twenty-Two:Forever

Devanies POV

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Why do you think he suddenly changed his mind?"

I looked at Pryer's worn form. He looked tired and drowsy. I think he was up all night trying to figure out what had happened yesterday."I don't know, and I don't want to know. I don't know if I should feel relived or worried." He rested his chin on his palm as he stared at the text book in front of him blankly.

"Then as your girlfriend, I'll do whatever I can to make you happy. You don't have to worry anymore." I rested my hand on top of the textbook so he could see the bracelet that he gave me."Thank you Devie." He said and smiled at me warmly. He rested his head on top of the text book and closed his eyes. His jet black hair showed some of his forehead when he lied down.

As much as Pryer has been through he needs some sort of comfort. I'll never make him feel like he has no one to turn to. Especially when so much has happened to him in one day. I think I know exactly how to bring his spirit up. Leo mentioned a party at Fia's house today. Although I shouldn't be partying, my dad's still in the hospital and my mom's still worried despite the signs of my dad's recovery. There is nothing I can really do for either of them, but sit and wait.

Kani's all the way back in England. There no way I can ask her to just fill in for me.

Well, whatever, It's my last year of high school. I deserve to have some fun. By the time Pryer had woken up class was over, he looked more tired for a couple of seconds, before his eyes shot open fully."I needed that nap, I was so tired." He said and stretched his arms outward.

We headed outside the classroom ready to leave. I spotted Aurora in the hallway talking to a girl. She looked happier, but she was distant. I wasn't complaining though, I'm glad she's leaving Pryer alone. It was about time she stopped being greedy and actually thought for herself.

"Man am I tired, I slept through every class." I looked up to see River walking towards us. I rolled my eyes and Pryer laughed."I slept too, I was up all night." River laughed again and I looked around his surroundings, looking for Voya. I wonder how her and Fia are holding up these days.

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves we still have two more classes left," Leo said as he appeared into view. He smiled warmly at me before he was practically knocked over by Fia who came barging in."I just ate 5 bags of Cheeto Puffs." He said proudly as he rested his arm on Leo's shoulder."That is absolutely disgusting, you just ate five bags of straight cheese." Leo had a disgusted look on his face as he started to inch away from Fia.

"Why do you guys have to be so loud?" I looked past Fia's shoulder to see Noah slowly walking toward's us."Were not that loud, you just have sensitive baby ears." River said and Noah gave him a death glare."Have you guys seen Voya anywhere?" I asked and suddenly all the attention was on me."Nope haven't seen her." Leo said as he continued to back away from Fia. He was practically clinging to the wall.

"Wouldn't it be cool if she died her hair bright blue?" River asked as he excitedly looked at Noah to anticipate his response.

"Wouldn't she look like a highlighter?"

"Isn't that what she's doing now?"

"No no, it's cotton candy--she's doing cotton candy."

"Will you guys just shut up? She went to the bathroom." Fia said as he rolled his eyes."Don't wait for me just get to class." I said as I looked to Pryer he nodded his head and I went on my way to search for Voya. I found her in a bathroom that was strangely far from all of her regular classes. She was sitting on the counter holding a folded paper note."Voya what are you doing here?" I asked as I walked closer to her.

"I was just thinking." She said and I hopped on the counter to sit next to her."Whatcha thinkin' bout?" She sighed heavily."Recently while you were up on cloud nine with Pryer while I was with Fia. He has so much about him that a lot of us don't know. When we started dating I only liked him because of his looks. It wasn't my intention to but I really really like Fia. And just a few days ago he made it known that he was in love with me." I looked at her surprised.

"He's in love with you?"

"Apparently." She laughed at herself slightly."He's really playing with my feelings right now. I'm afraid of when he'll get tired of me."I looked around the bathroom and stared at the writing on the walls."He won't do that, and if he does I'll kick him where it hurts, just say the word." I said as I raised my fist. She began to laugh lightly,"Thanks Devanie." I smiled at her and for a moment we sat in comfortable silence.

Lately it seems that things are slowly getting better. I hope that people around me can stay happy forever. That also makes me wonder. It's been a month since I've seen He Feng, he just disappeared. He isn't at the diner anymore and he hasn't come back to school.

Where ever he is, I hope he can be happy forever as well.
