I straighten myself out before leaving the bathroom. How they got an unconsious girl through this many people unseen is a mystery to me, but I figure they probably just pretended I was drunk or something. This place does after all have a bar. I search the sea of blue and white for the familiar golden hair. The only thing that will stand out about our little group other than me. I spot a yellowish gleam in the distance. Of course they'd be on the exact opposite side of the room. Great. I shuffle my way past groups of people, trying not to bump anyone unnessisarily.
"Watch it, freak." A white haired girl pipes up when I trip and accidentally hit her elbow.
"Why don't you watch it, you volitile little snake." Kaden growls, and I feel relived to see him.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry I didn't realize you were with Mercy I'm so sorry. Jada, let's go. I'm so sorry I really am have a nice day?" The Diamond practically flings herself in the direction of the door in panic. I glare after her.
"You didn't have to go and scare the living crap out of her. I can handle myself, Kay." I shake my head at him. He pulls out a chair for me at the table and I sit down. He sits next to me. Mercy and Crystal sit across from us, chattering away.
"I saw you get dragged into the bathroom by those two people, Em. Is everything alright?" I wave it off.
"Ya. Everything's great." Everything's fine. My dead best friend just came back from the other side and told me basically nothing and only made my have more questions. Ya . Everything's just fucktastic. Great.
"Em. I thought I recognized one of them."
"Crystal and I are going to go for a swim. You two stay here and chat or do something Sapphirey I guess. Just please don't hover. We'll be fine. We're big girls. Thanks bye!" Mercy rushes out, leaving before either of us could protest. Crystal smiles apologetically back over her shoulder at me and I let out a laugh, turning my focus back to Kaden.
"Kaden. Loosen up. It was just two friends from Milyn. They recognized me and decided to mess with my head. Let it go. Now. Are we going to order to fish sticks, or the sushi?"

"After a few hours at the Sinking Feeling, Mercy and Crystal headed back to Crysals rooms to hang out and Kaden and I went over to my rooms. Currently, Kaden and I are watching another one of those horror movies he loves so much on the condition that I can scream hysterically and he won't make fun of me for it.
"Oh my god no don't open the door!" I squeak, hiding under my covers. Kaden peaks under, smiling and shaking his head at me.
"You know that they can't hear you, right love?" I slowly peak back out from under the covers, diverting my eyes from Kaden. "Hey," He puts his arm around my shoulders. "You okay?" I nod, ducking my head. He puts his head on top of mine and I hide my face in his shirt instead of watching the movie. I can hear the screaming and crashing as the characters try to escape the serial killer and I cling to Kaden tightly. "You're squeezing me too hard, Love." Kaden chuckles and I loosen my hold a little. Just then the door icon between Crystal and I's rooms opens and Mercy marches on through.
"OH MY GOD ARE YOU TWO SECRETLY DATING THAT'S SO CUTE OH MY LORD CRYSTAL YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS." She screeches, and Kaden calls right out of the bed, taking the covers and in turn me with him. I land on him just as Crystal comes ripping around the corner. She grins, jumping up and down in glee.
"Guys it really isn't what it looks like we were just watching a horror movie and I get scared so easily so I guess we were just I don't know oh my god Mercy wipe that stupid grin off your face."
"Shut up you weirdo. You totally like him." Crystal signs. Mercy nods and Kaden just lays there on the floor looking confused. I get up, tripping over the covers and Kaden repeatedly before finally gathering myself and getting to my feet.
"I do not. Kaden and I are just friends, Crystal. He's practically like a brother to me." Mercy's eyes widen and she bites her lip nervously.
"Um actually, Em, I think Kaden actually likes you as more than just a friend." Mercy signs, and I ask her to repeat just to make sure I got that right.
"Are you serious?" Mercy turns around, pulling Crystal back into her rooms. I turn back to Kaden, nervously rubbing my arm. I help him put the covers back on the bed, pausing the horror movie.
"So what were you and the girls going on about?"
""Do you like me Kaden?" I force out, almost wincing.
"What, of course I do, Lyn. Were they being jerks or something? Do you need me to go straighten them out?" He gives me a goofy grin, fake punching his hand.
"What, no. I meant like do you like like me." Kaden gives me a confused look and I sigh. "What I'm trying to ask is-"
"What you're trying to ask is do I want to date you, and the answer is yes." I stay quiet and he just continues fluffing the pillows and rearanging the bedding. When he's done he gets back under the covers and gestures for me to do the same.
"But... But..." I stutter.
"I gave you the information you wanted. You can do with it what you please, but I refuse to let it get between us. We were fine two minutes ago, everything is the same other than the fact that you now know how I feel. Now come on, let's finish the flatty."
"It's a Movie, weirdo."
"I'll only call it a movie if you call it a flatty, love."
"That defeats the point though, weirdo." He throws his arm back over my shoulders and we resume our previous position.
"Just roll with it, love."
