18. Parking Lot
Scorpio's POV (yes, again)
I was still strolling through the store to find some things. I don't know when the store closes, but I tried to make it as quick as I can. I was by a water fountain and stopped to study it. I put both of my hands up and closed my eyes, trying to recreate something out of water. I opened one of my eyes just to peek, and the remaining water from the fountain levetated. I tried to raise it higher and do something more extreme with it, but it splashed back to the fountain.
I huffed and puffed. This is all so stupid. Why can't I do any of this right? I shook my head at the water fountain and started to stroll through the store again. That was until I saw someone very familiar. A bit too familiar. They weren't looking back at me, but talking to somebody. Soon, they looked at me and their face went pale. I could read their lips telling the person they were talking to "I'll see you later." They glanced back at me and started to power walk away in the other direction trying to leave the store.
I hurried myself and my cart to them. They obviously didn't want me to find them. They stopped as I called their name. "Sagittarius."
It took her a few seconds to turn around to me. She was wearing the same party clothes she had when we were at Leo's house two days ago. A black romper that showed revealing skin, but instead of her golden high heels, she had on white and black sneakers. I'm guessing she never went back home knowing some of the other zodiacs would wait for her there.
I walked up closer to her. I was annoyed. I didn't really want to see her, but something was telling me to at least check up on her. "Where the fuck were you?" I asked in a stern voice.
She rolled her eyes, "Oh, like you care. I'm doing fine, thank you for asking."
"Everyone was looking for you. And by everyone I mean everyone except me. How ironic is it that I found you first?" I say questioning her and myself.
"Tell Leo and Aries that I'm fine. I'll be back soon. And tell Gemini that I'm not mad at her," she says looking away when she said Gemini's name.
"No. I'm not anyones messenger, princess. You're going to tell them yourself," I say grabbing her arm so that she wouldn't leave. I made sure I didn't grip too hard knowing that I wouldn't hurt her.
"Leave me alone," she says to me yanking it back.
She made me so mad. How the hell are you going to go M.I.A. for two nights and don't want to go back to your friends? Don't get me wrong, I don't want her back with us, but at least everyone will stop talking about her all the damn time.
She looked like she wanted to tell me something. I can see she wasn't phased by how mad I was at her. She just stood there with her arms crossed and looked kind of worried.
"What?" I ask her still angry.
"Just tell them what I said," she said. "I can't talk to anybody right now. I'm surprised I'm even talking to you."
She didn't even want to talk to Aries or Leo? She made this whole situation more interesting. All of the sudden, I really wanted to know why she left. What the hell happened between her and Gem to begin with? And why won't she go back to her own friends?
"Why don't you want to see them?" I asked her.
"It's complicated-" she begins until I cut her off.
"Enough with the bullshit, Sagittarius. Why don't you want to see them?"
She looked like she was going to throw something at me. I can see she's finally mad at the fact I'm yelling at her. I can't help but to yell. She's not making this any easier on me. Instead, she walked away without giving me any answer. How dare she walk away from me?
"Sagittarius!" I yelled out her name. I don't care if anybody sees us. She fucking walked away from me and didn't turn back around. She then left the store and the automatic door closed shut behind her.
I rolled my eyes and wanted to hit something. What the fuck is wrong with her? I knew she was a crazy bitch, but I never knew she was a problematic one. I look at my cart and saw all the food in it. I had to pay and forget how she pissed me off.
I went to self check out all of my stuff. Everything started to flow through my mind. How my friendship with Leo is on a thin line. How Sagittarius rather leave her friends than to see them. How Cancer likes me. Why the hell am I in this? I didn't ask for any of it.
I got my bags and walked to my truck to put everything in the trunk. I finally had the last bag in and was going to roll the cart with the others. When I put away my cart, I saw Sagittarius' car. She left for about 10 minutes ago, so what is she still doing in the parking lot?
At first, I wasn't going to mind it. The problematic bitch walked away from me when I was talking to her. I didn't even want to talk to her, so she's luckily I can at least act like I cared. Before I was even thinking about it, I walked up to the window and knocked on it. The windows were tinted so I didn't know for sure if she was inside or not.
I waited a couple of seconds and the window rolled down. "What do you want?" Sagittarius says to me.
"For you to answer my question. And not to be a bitch and go away like last time," I responded to her with my natural stern voice.
She just rolled her eyes at me. "I don't even know why I left, Scorpio. I just did. I was mad that afternoon and I just didn't want to talk to anybody," she said. What a lame ass excuse.
I walked to the other side of the car. I hear her sigh in relief as she thought I was finally leaving her alone or something. Nope. I opened the door to the passenger seat and sat in. She looked at me in shock as I closed the door behind me.
"Now, normally I wouldn't do this and that's because I don't like or care about you. Everyone else is worried about you, especially Leo and Aries. The only reason I want you back to them now is so that I wouldn't have to hear about you again. Don't take it all sweet when I say it's better than to hear your annoying voice than to hear other people talk about you 24/7." And I meant that. Everyone's been annoying the hell out of me talking about her all the time. When is she gonna stop being so problematic and go to them? At least so I wouldn't have to hear about it.
She scoffed and I could tell she wanted to argue or say something sassy to me. She didn't. "Get out," she said to me using her simple voice.
"Can't even give a full explanation, huh? I understand I'm the last person you want to talk to, but don't forget the feelings are mutual. I already screwed up with Leo, so I need to make things right," I say looking at her. She made no eye contact with me until I brought up Leo.
"What do you mean you screwed up with Leo?" she asked me, fire lighting in her eyes. I couldn't tell if she was mad or interested or both.
I sighed and looked down. "Cancer thinks you don't like her."
Sagittarius looked at me like I was crazy. "So?"
"So I told her your opinion doesn't matter and you're just another one of those girls," I say not really regretting it.
"What do you mean one of those girls?" she asked me eyes lighting brighter. I still had my head down so I couldn't see, but it was like I could feel them stabbing me.
I ignored her question. "Aries got mad at me for talking about you behind your back and then Leo got involved," I said now looking back at her making no contact with her eyes. "He told me not to talk bad about you or talk to Aries like that and about the minute you left I did just that. Next thing you know, Gemini was lighting bolts and booming thunder and Leo and Aries had fireballs ready for me," I almost laughed.
Sag didn't take it as a joke at all. I expected her to throw fire at me, but she just looked straight ahead and was silent for a second. "I'm not mad," she told me or maybe was telling that to herself. "But, really, you should go." She looked back at me this time.
I really wanted to leave, don't get me wrong. But something isn't right. "You left the store more than 10 minutes ago. Why are you still in your car?" I asked her.
Her eyes softened quickly. She shook her head, "Tell everyone I'll see them tomorrow. Can you just leave now?" she said not looking at me anymore.
What the fuck? I was going to say something else, maybe even a sassy comment, but instead I left like she told me. My mission was already completed. I got Sagittarius ready to go see her friends again and I can stop hearing about her all the time. I was walking to my car, and I see that Sag's car was still in the parking lot. I can tell she only said she will see them because I asked a question she didn't want to answer. Good enough I thought to myself. Except it wasn't. What the hell was wrong with her?
