53. Reconciliation

Morning. A normal morning starts with breakfast, a warm shower, watching the newspaper while drinking coffee or tea. But the morning of August begins with a completely different one, namely with a showdown.

--- What is she doing here ?!

--- I'll rip out her heart ! - at the moment, Augustus is keeping Lapis and Peridot from attacking Jasper.

--- Hush, let's calm down

--- Calm down ?! Let me go, August, I'll kill her quickly and calm down ! - Lapis began to struggle even harder from August's embrace.

--- It's none of your business where I am, blueskin.

--- I'll kill you !

" I knew from the very beginning how it would end. "

To understand what is happening, you need to go back a little.

[ 1 hour ago ]

Everything started out fine. The morning was calm, everyone was asleep. August started making breakfast for everyone, and when he turned to get more ingredients, he met Jasper's face, very close.

--- Jasper, don't sneak up on me.

--- I didn't mean to frighten you, my lord.

--- I know, pass me the milk and eggs.

There was silence in the kitchen, the only thing that could be heard was the sizzling sound of cooking scrambled eggs. So it would be quiet in the kitchen, if the Jasper would destroy the silence.

--- My Lord, I would like to go with you.

--- Hmmm ?

--- At the moment, your health is fully restored, and this means that you will leave here. I want to leave with you.

--- Impossible.

--- Why ? Did I do something wrong ?

--- No. It's just that where I live, there are those who don't really like you.

--- Then I reject your order. I should always be near you.

--- It's useless to argue with you. Okay, you can go now. But then don't say that I didn't warn you.

[ At the moment ]

--- Will you be strong enough ? I remember the last time you couldn't even hit me once.

--- Don't doubt it.

Lapis still managed to get out of August's hands. Now Jasper and Lapis were standing opposite each other in the living room. Peridot, who was also eager to fight, is now standing behind August, it seems that her ardor has quickly exhausted itself. When the battle was about to begin, an old female voice filled with irritation rang out.

--- Come on, destroy my house. Do whatever you want, I'm not here. - Miss Peregrine came slowly down the stairs and muttered to herself, but everyone heard her. The tense atmosphere instantly disappeared.

--- Excuse me, Miss Peregrine.

--- I don't blame you, Lapis, and I don't blame Peridot. That's who I blame, it's you, August. - Miss Peregrine took her cane and struck Augustus.

--- Ouch !

--- You brought someone problematic into my house again. Who is it this time ?

--- This is Jasper. She has nowhere to go.

--- Is my house an orphanage ? Why do you always bring the homeless ?

--- Well, it's ... me...

--- Okay, shut up. Show her the room and go make breakfast.

--- Thank you, Miss Peregrine.

And so, with a creak, Jasper settled in the mansion. August thought that everything would end there, but he was deeply mistaken, it was only worse later.

The following days were like a boiling frying pan for August. At first there was a lull, but after Lapis and Jasper met, a fire broke out that could not be extinguished. It's good that August could run away from there to practice, but Miss Peregrine couldn't and she was pretty fed up with it.

--- I'm tired of your farce !

And one day, she couldn't stand it. By some miracle, she threw everyone out of the mansion. Even Peridot suffered.

--- You'll come back after you've dealt with all this shit ! - and Miss Peregrine slammed the gates of the mansion in front of them and also took the keys from everyone.

And now, Augustus, Lapis, Peridot and Jasper were standing outside the mansion with strange expressions on their faces.

--- What are we going to do ? - August decided to start the conversation first

--- I think we should wait until nightfall and then come back.

--- Great plan Peridot, but we just need to get rid of this yellow gorilla.

--- Who did you call a gorilla, blue-skinned?!

--- I think someone got angry, do you want a banana ?

Lapis Jasper again began their disassembly. August and Peridot stood aside and watched them kicking.

--- Aren't we going to stop them ?

--- Let them figure it out for themselves. In the meantime, we'll go for a walk with you, August - Peridot took August by the hand and began to lead him away from these two.

" While they're fighting there, I can spend time with August. During this time, I have watched a lot of TV shows, so I know what to do in such situations. " - a plan immediately matured in Peridot's head.

Peridot and August were moving further and further away, but Lapis and Jasper did not notice this. They were busy with their own disassembly.

--- Why did you even show up here ?!

--- None of your business. I'll be wherever I want to be.

--- Yeah, of course. If it wasn't for August, you'd be sleeping in an alley right now.

--- You can think whatever you want, August knows the truth.

--- Are you sure ? Let's ask him. Augu...

When Lapis and Jasper turned around, they noticed that Augustus had not been here for a long time, as well as Peridot. They noticed their retreating figures in the distance.

--- Peridot ! That green goblin !

--- Follow them ! We can't leave them alone.

Lapis and Jasper ran after them. Meanwhile, Peridot and August began to have fun.

Peridot took August to different places. First they wandered into a pizzeria, then went to the park, went to the cinema. And all this time they were watched by Lapis and Jasper, who wanted to intervene every time, but when they saw the happy smile on Augustus ' face, they stopped.

And at the end of the day, Peridot and August were sitting on the beach holding each other's hands.

--- It was fun.

--- Of course, because I was with you.

--- Peridot, we need to talk. - August sat down opposite her and looked into her eyes.

--- We never talked about what happened between us. I.... - Peridot put her finger on August's lips

--- Don't say anything, show it with actions.

After that, Peridot removed her hand and their faces began to slowly approach. And when their lips were almost closed, they were interrupted.

--- Come on !

A tentacle appeared out of the water, it grabbed August and threw him away from Peridot. Then Jasper jumped out of the bushes and caught August.

--- Peridot ! I knew you wanted to take August away from me !

--- Take it away ? You must be blind. He's always been mine !

--- I'll argue with that !

And now a showdown has already begun between Peridot and Lapis. Jasper and August, who was in her arms, looked at this.

--- I think we should get back, my lord.

--- I completely agree....just let me go.

--- I refuse to comply with this order. You must be tired, I'll carry you home myself.

Jasper pressed August closer to her, as a result of which her breasts pressed hard against him and began to go home. Peridot and Lapis noticed this and ran after them.

" After all, Miss Peregrine knows how to solve the problem. I'll have to take a couple of lessons from her. "

The day ended on a pleasant note. Sometimes, even enemies can get along if need to achieve goals. The moment is getting closer, they need to prepare otherwise a terrible fate awaits them.
