Chapter 47: The talk

Chole was up first, jian cut the cake and fed her, there was a frenzy of pictures and cheers, then it was Stephanie she took a video teasing bianca she was ready to make the girl regret missing out on the birthday she handed jian her gift then next it was Rita and julliet followed, then mina was next, Fiona who was giving her attitude the whole time as if she was being forced to be there. Jian wondered why the girl even bothered to come she was just sitting there just hoarding food, she didn't mind though it was just that fiona was being a party popper. The next person was Ethan and jian smirked as he walked towards her and Ethan knew exactly what she was thinking, jian was finally going to get her long awaited revenge on Ethan,it took Ethan two whole minutes before he'll get that cake and each time he missed jian got more excited jumping around like a kid that finally got that trip to Disney land. Seth was the only person that noticed ethan missed on purpose every single time expect the first one which caught him off guard, if anyone else was worthy of Jian's feelings apart from him it was Ethan, he was indeed a worthy opponent after she had her filled revenge it was seth next on the cake cutting list and jian tried acting as nonchalant as possible which made her only suspicious especially to fiona and mina who were keenly watching one was watching because she was just subconsciously doing it after she noticed earlier that both Seth and jian were missing, she also wanted to know how much he has fallen and she sighed seth had never looked at her like that even when they were together, she sighed. For mina she was literally drilling a hole in Jian's head, if looks could kill jian would be dead by now. Even jian could feel someone just sending her bad energy and when she looked around she locked eyes with mina and the girl instantly fixed her expression smiling at jian even that smile didn't settle well with her, after feeding Seth the cake it was now over and everyone could go about having their own slice.

Jian was still unsettled by the look mina had, she noticed she seemed hostile and pretended not to notice the way she glared at her when they were coming back from her little escapade with seth, does mina like seth she thought to herself as she stared at mina who was having a conversation with seth and fiona she noticed the way she was acting and laughing at everything that seth said, she couldn't clearly hear what they were saying but she was definitely sure not whatever seth said was funny, so maybe mina likes Seth or maybe jian was just looking too much into it. Fiona gave her the heebie geebied in a weird way, maybe it was the crazy amount of confidence and audacity Fiona carries that give her that aura if not for their unnecessary enmity with each other because of Seth they'll be best friend but for mina it was like the girl was surrounded by like some evil mist or something.

As jian was thinking about all that, her phone pinged she checked and saw it was a message from Fiona, she looked up but the girl was already engaged in a conversation with Rita and Ann she looked back and read the message

"Meet me at the garden, if you're free" jian was surprised, someone was being polite she looked up at fiona and this time, they locked eyes jian nodded at her indicating she got the message, with that nod Fiona excused herself and left first, jian was going to finish her cake First, she needed well deserved energy to face fiona.

Fiona waited quite a while before jian came out in reality she just waited for about a minute and twenty seconds but fiona wasn't used to waiting she was the one waited upon she was already pissed that jian won seth and was more pissed that she had to apologize but she'll just do it and get over with it, she wouldn't stay in that place, she needed to go home. Anytime she'll come around and agree that it was impossible between her and Seth again, she'll look at him and think maybe just maybe but today she had come to terms and all she wanted to do was go back home, sit alone in her balcony sipping wine as the wind blew giving her main character energy.

"Hey" jian called out when she reached the girl who was just sitting there legs crossed as she started ahead looking as if someone owed her money

"Finally" she murmured under her breath but jian heard it she couldn't help roll her eyes

"Well, you made me wait for an hour" jian said she felt like this was the time to settle scores

"Well you were waiting for me" fiona said with a smug smile emphasizing on the 'me' showing jian she was in a higher position than her which pissed jian, if she had known the conversation was going to go like that, she'll have taken her sweet time before coming out to meet fiona

"You should carry yourself off that high pedestal" jian said rolling her eyes

"Wow who would think your as annoying as the words you spew" Fiona said getting up, at this point jian was mad with anger it looked like Fiona was intentional stirring her up

"Can you just apologize and shut up" she said arms crossed

"Oh how his taste has dropped" fiona sighed as if Seth picking jian was the most unfortunate event for humanity

"What's that" Fiona asked pulling Jian's hair from her shoulders she knew it the moment she smelt it, that was Seth's cologne there's no way jian could own a custom made perform from the a designer so famous he only makes custom made products for only 5 people in the whole world and that includes monarchs she she could lay a hand on those perfume talk less of Jian. Obviously she was probably tangled up with seth some where that would explain the hickey aswell. When jian noticed what effect it had on Fiona she couldn't help but gloat, that was her trump card and she was definitely going to use it on the audacious brat

"Looks like he taste went up a notch" jian smirk, she felt her hair that was fisted in Fiona's hand get pulled tighter as the girl's eyes blazed she whined because it hurt that's when fiona looked at her hand in the girl's hair she let go taking a step back as if she was burnt

"You think" she said trying to gather her composure she wanted jian riled up then apologize and leave if she was going to lose it was going to be on her own terms but looked like Jian knew where to jab just to keep her in line

"Never had one of these have you" jian said with so much confidence Fiona wondered if seth talked about the relationship they had with her, she wondered what he told her and what he didn't because even though they were together Seth never ones kissed her the furthest they've gone is a peck

"Did he even love you" jian said in a whisper but it was very clear to fiona she heard every word and her blood boiled seeing how made she got mad jian was thrilled, she said all that purely to rile Fiona up and she was satisfied with the buffed cheeks and red face

"You" Fiona raised her hands and before jian could register what was going on, Fiona's hands landed on her cheeks, the pain was double because she wasn't expecting it at all her face turned to one side as she instinctively put a hand over her cheeks in surprise

"How dare you" jian said in a low voice, even Fiona had to pause her anger, the anger in Jian's voice she haven't ever heard of it before, the only time she did was when her mom discovered the abuse she was going through in the hands of her nanny but Fiona expected jian to retaliate so when jian raised her hand to give her a taste of her own medicine she held her wrist which caused Jian's bracelet to get entangled with her sleeve, Fiona smirked and shoved Jian's hand away the force pulled the bracelet and before jian could do anything to salvage it, she felt her heart drop as the morse code letters hit the ground one after another until she couldn't hear anything. Fiona looked down and saw the disaster jian looked like she was on the verge of tears.

'i took it too far' Fiona taught to herself she was going to offer jian a remake but before anything would come out of her mouth she felt her ears ringing, her vision blurred for a second, Fiona had never been slapped in her life but she could definitely say even if she was that was the hardest slap she'll ever receive. The apology she was planning died in her throat as she looked up and without another word the girls lunged at each other.

Mina who was sipping her wine and watching all this unfold couldn't help chuckle

"Ah these two" she shook her head, the argument was more than entertaining to her it was like a Tv show, when she saw Jian slap back Fiona even she whined that sounded and looked hella painful

"Woah" she commented as she watched on and when she saw they lunged at each other she almost did a happy dance after waiting for over a minute, she gently put her glass down took a few coughs then ran back in the room screaming

"Guys" she yelled as he ran in startling everyone

"Mina" Ann said holding the girl's shoulder to calm her down, she looked hysterical and there was tears even flowing down her face

"They're fighting" she said and she didn't need to mention names for everyone to know who she was referring to, the only two people who were missing in the room were jian and Fiona and the only ones with tension too big that it was threatening to explode was them aswell

"Where" Seth asked and all mina had to do was point at the back door and immediately as if on command seth and ethan ran out

"You bitch" Fiona was screaming and jian was just throwing random curses at her, hand in each other's hair that was the scene the boys were greeted with, immediately they rushed to separate the girls. Seth pulling Fiona and Ethan pulling jian, immediately Jian was in Ethan's arms, she thought of her bracelet and just wanted to tear fiona from limp to limp. Who comes to someone's birthday to apologize about there shitty behavior just to add more fuel to it

"She-she my" jian couldn't hold it in, all she could do was point at her wrist where the bracelet was and stammer, Ethan looked down at her wrist and realized what she had gifted her wasn't there

"It's okay" he consoled her and that's all jian needed to bury her face in his chest and cry, she was upset about everything. Fiona noticed how even though seth was holding her all his eyes were on jian, she noticed his frown especially when jian started to cry and it made her just literally upset, she was the one on the receiving end not only did she receive a slap that would definitely be a core memory, had head probably had a bald spot thue to the way jian was pulling she even received scatch marks

"Leave me alone" she managed to let out as she struggled to breath the more she thought about it the more upset she grew

"Fiona" seth called out but fiona wasn't hearing anything, she just wanted to be alone.

"What happened here" Ann asked mina who explained she had got out to receive a call when she just happened to see the two arguing and before she could do anything to diffuse the situation it already escalated. Fiona had finally managed to pry herself out of Seth's grip not because she was stronger but because seth noticed how restless she was growing and was afraid she was going to have an episode so he decided to let her go and then follow her but the moment he freed her like a lightening she already ran away as jian cried in Ethan's arm she could see and understand what was going around her and the fact that seth was consoling fiona even though she was clearly in the wrong made her even more upset, whether she had a mental issue or not in her moment of fury she didn't care. She also pulled away from ethan running away

"What is going on" Ethan and seth couldn't help but sigh. Ann and setg rushed after Fiona as ethan, Rita and julliet went for jian. Stephanie had already left she received a text and just excuse herself looked like she was having her won troubles too.
