Pisces' POV

Gem and I walked with each other around the new town. Everything was pretty much the same though, but it was nice to act as if everything really has changed. She's so beautiful, I don't think she knows it. That's what makes her even more beautiful to me.

"And it all went like 'boom' right in my face," she said to me making explosion noises and using her hands for emphasis. She was talking about the time she first used her powers. It was when she got mad over something and a huge lightning and thunder struck her entire closet. Clothes splattered everywhere. I wish finding my power was as cool of a story as that.

I laughed hearing her story, but not too much and loudly, so I wouldn't look like a complete idiot. "Me finding out my power was not as cool as that," I say to her smiling.

She was already smiling from the laughter of hers. She looks at me with wide eyes and asked me, "How did you find out yours?"

She was touching my arm right now. I look at her hand and realize I'm being way too obvious that I like her now. It's driving myself crazy. I looked up at the sky and closed my eyes imagining the day, still smiling. I laugh before I could even say it.

"I was outside swimming, right? And I was about 15 or 16. I was with one of my closest friends back in high school and she-"

"Oh, 'she'? Are you sure it was just close friends or did you have a thing for her?" she said interrupting and making kissy noises.

I laughed and gave her a friendly push now that my eyes were open. "Just friends. One of my best ones actually. But about the story, we were seeing who could hold their breath the longest underwater. Little did I know that I could've breathed underwater, so when I first found out I could, for some reason I thought that I was drowning because that wasn't normal. I'm not normal. So I swam up to the surface of the pool gasping for air that I didn't really need, and I accidently splashed water from my hands to the sky. It was the most craziest thing I've experienced in my life. Everyone thought it was a trick, but it's actually my power."

Gemini nodded in understandment. "Yeah, it was really hard to figure out you have powers that nobody else has. Makes you feel abnormal, huh?" she said to me frowning and crossing her arms still walking with me.

"Yeah," I said frowning with her. "When I got home, I tried to practice more of it, but it didn't work. Even tried drowning myself finally understanding that I really could've breathed underwater. It took me a while to figure out the whole water manipulation thing though."

Gem nodded again and finally had her arms unfolded. She turned to me. "Pi?" she says.

"Yeah?" I say not looking at her back but smirking.

"You're right."

"About what?" I say looking at her confused letting my smile dim.

"My story was so much cooler than yours," she says laughing her ass off.

I rolled my eyes, "Yknow what, Gem?" She laughed harder as I said that and I laughed with her.

She was the most angelic thing that has ever been in my life. It's like everything about her makes me know I would want her in my life forever. I couldn't stop looking at her. At first I was thinking of her beauty, her personality, then I was thinking about if I should stop staring. She probably thinks I'm creepy right now. I just couldn't take my eyes of her.

Gemini looks to the ground and kicks a rock. Everything inside me is telling me to go for it, but will I listen?

"Gemini," I say looking at her shoes as she kicked the rock.

"Yeah?" she said not looking up.

I stop walking and turned to her, and she did the same. I look into her brown eyes and I see her looking into mine. She looked at me with a confused look because I wouldn't say anything. I then leaned in, closed my eyes, and before I could even think, I kissed her. It was probably the happiest moment of my life. Only the kiss didn't last long.

Gemini gently pushed me away and I see sadness in her eyes as I opened mine too. "Pi," she began. She sighed and looked to the ground to the rock that she was kicking. "We're... we're just friends."

My heart shattered into a million gazillion pieces. I didn't say anything. My eyes started to water, but I made sure not to cry in front of her. I even looked away from her thinking it would've saved me from embarassment. I didn't say anything. I couldn't say anything. I felt that if I tried, it'll all just turn into a big sob.

"I'm sorry," Gem said to me almost crying too. I still didn't look at her, but I could tell she was about to cry by her voice. Why was she about to cry? Was it because she didn't want to kiss me? Or because I ruined our friendship? Or maybe even because she felt guilty she didn't feel the same way?

I didn't know what to do. I just stood there like a fucking idiot. It made me mad how I couldn't do anything because I just didn't want to cry.

"Pisces, say something," Gem said to me letting out a voice crack.

I was looking everywhere except in her direction. I didn't know what to do or say. My face had no expression even when I wanted to force a smile. Just a fucking idiot standing with a broken heart trying his best not to cry.

I swallowed a huge lump in my throat and clenched my jaw. "Okay," I finally said. It let out a raspy voicecrack, but it sounds better than what it would've if I didn't swallow down a cry in my throat.

I finally looked at her this time. Looking at her only makes me want to cry even more, so I quickly turned another way. I'm not that strong to fight this urge.

Gemini puts a hand on my arm and I almost flinched. "I'm sorry," she says almost still crying with me.

Again, I didn't say anything after. The next "okay" will let out a whole flood of tears. I just know it will. I looked at the ground where both of our shoes were standing in front of each other. I see her leave.

It was about time she left. I couldn't stand there for another second knowing she was still here after she rejected me. I stayed still for a couple of seconds watching her walk away then left the opposite way. I was still fighting back tears on my way to who knows where. I just couldn't be around the zodiacs. I feel like Gem would tell them what happened. Or Cancer and Aqua at the very least. I was never mad at the fact Gemini rejected me. It just hurts to get too attatched to someone, thinking they like you back, but reality is the realest it gets.

I walk to my house which I honestly forgot was the direction I was going to given that I wasn't paying attention or didn't care where I was going. It was only noon, but I went inside, turned the TV off that I accidently left on, and cried myself to sleep anyway. Maybe I'll be better by tomorrow. Maybe.
