Libra's POV

Today was halloween, bitch! Right now, it was 6:30PM, and everybody was dressed up in their costumes. Aries was a ninja, Taurus just had on a glow in the dark purge mask, Gemini was a really hot devil thanks to me, Cancer dressed as a pirate, Leo had on a Jason hockey mask, Virgo and I were angels (which was not planned for, but we both look so hot!), Scorpio was a vampire, Sagi was a bloody nurse, Cap is creepy clown, Aqua was a dark, bloody angel, and Pisces was a police.

I was in the kitchen with Aqua, Virgo, and Cap. It was almost dark outside, but it was pretty dark in the mansion. We had all of the lights off with only neon lights and some lamps from Leo's party a few days ago. Aqua was fixing Virgo's halo around her head while I was putting the bottles of wine and whiskey in a cooler.

"This is going to be a great halloween," Cap says looking at me.

I blushed for a quick second. I knew I looked absolutely hot. Then I looked at Aqua. She looked just as hot as I did. That reminded me that Cap likes Aqua. Not me.

"Yeah, except we don't know many of the people who'll be here," Virgo says looking at her phone camera to check her makeup and halo.

Aqua shrugged. "That's fine. We could still have fun."

I nodded in agreement and left the bottles of alcohol in the cooler and went over to sit next to Cap. I caught him looking at me, and it just made me sad. He still likes Aquarius. Why the hell is he staring at me?

Cancer walks in the kitchen with us. "You guys ready for the party?" she asked us smiling, taking her eyepatch off.

"Are you kidding?" Capricorn asked. "The three of us are seriously the main halloween masters," he says putting an arm around me and looking at Aqua.

I awkwardly take his arm away from me. I didn't feel like I could function with him liking someone else and me liking him. "I'm pretty sure nobody will take you seriously with that clown outfit, Cap," I say laughing at him.

He furrowed his brows at me. Cap was super colorful today. He looked like a unicorn threw up on him, and he scraped his knees climbing up a rainbow. His neck had fake blood on it along with some parts of his costume. And his hair was super poofy. I laughed just looking at it.

"Hey!" He took his colorful afro off his head. "Is this better?" he asked placing the wig on the table.

I shrugged. "Decent," I say looking at him up and down and laughing again.

He just rolled his eyes.

"Y'know," Aqua started saying looking at Cancer. "Cap used to have a pirate obsession," she says wiggling her eyebrows at him now.

Cap clicked his tounge. "I was twelve!" he defended.

Cancer laughed. "Really? Aw that's so cute!"

"Wanna see a picture?" Aqua asked getting her phone from the counter.

"No!" Cap yelled out.

"Don't mind if I do," Cancer says smirking at Cap.

He furrowed his brows.

Cancer gasped. "That's so cute!" she said looking down at Aqua's phone.

"Right?" Aqua says laughing at Cap's priceless face.

I started to laugh too. He looked at me and rolled his eyes while smiling. "You guys are so annoying," he said getting up from the table leaving me there alone.

"You love us," Aqua says putting her phone back on the counter.

Capricorn looked up to the ceiling as if he was thinking. "Whatever you say, Aqua," he says then leaving the kitchen smirking at her.

I wanted to roll my eyes at that. Not that I was jealous or anything. Or it probably is that reason. I don't fucking know, stop harassing me with questions!

Oh, wait. Nobody is talking to me.

Cancer and Aqua were still talking about Cap together. I stood up and went to grab my phone that was next to Virgo. She looked super pretty to me. I mean, she's always pretty, but her whole angel look is very gorgeous. She even dyed her hair brown, which I find super cute. I had on a blonde wig that I've had for a few months now.

I don't think I could dye my hair blonde again. Cap always told me I looked so much prettier when I didn't look like everyone else. I'm sure he wouldn't mind if I dyed it now, but blonde used to always be a trend back in high school that I used to follow. I don't think I want to dye it again just yet.

I smiled thinking of that moment. Everytime I do, it just makes everything so much better. At this point, I was glad having Cap as my best friend. Even if that meant he couldn't be my boyfriend.

The time on my phone said 6:50PM. I could hear voices outside already. Mainly, the Fire Signs being loud as usual. Virgo and I leave the kitchen leaving Cancer and Aqua there.

"I'm Aries." Aries was standing by the door holding it open for a girl. He held her hand up and gave her his seductive smirk. She was dressed as a very sexy witch. You could already see the lust in his eyes as she walked passed him. I rolled my eyes at how perverted he was.

About this time, it was past 7. A lot of people were here that I couldn't count. I lost track on counting people, but I got over it. The neon lights were super bright and just gorgeous. It illuminated almost everyone and their costumes. I was walking around where everybody was and saw Scorpio and Cancer talking. Cancer looked kind of mad at Scorpio, and all he could do was just roll his eyes. What's gotten into them?

I see Leo on my left talking to some girl. I then noticed she was the girl that was dressed as the sexy witch. She had brown hair tied up in a messy bun, and her legs were toned and probably fake tanned.

Aries was on my right making out with some girl, as usual. I don't even know why I was even surprised. It seemed like the Aries thing to do.

I kept walking through the crowd of people to try to find somebody I know. Who wasn't busy. That's when I found Pisces. He was just standing alone with a cup in his hand. It looked empty from the way he held it.

"Hi, Pisces," I say yelling over the loud music and walking over to him.

His eyes beamed up looking at my costume. "Hey, Lib. You dyed your hair?" he asked setting his cup on a table.

I was confused at what he meant at first. Then I remembered my hair was blonde. I felt the tips of it. "Oh! No. It's just a wig. I haven't dyed my hair in a while," I said twirling my hair around my finger. I didn't even realize I was doing it.

He smiled at me. "You look really pretty," he says to me.

I smiled back. "Thank you! You look really great too," I said complimenting back. And I wasn't lying. Pisces really looked great in a suit. I'm pretty sure if I was drunk right now and didn't have Cap on my mind all the time, I'd probably be all over him right now.

He scrunched up his face. "Nah, this was just last minute. I didn't have enough time to even think through what I really wanted to be," he says playing with the golden star badge on his chest.

"What? How come?"

He just shrugged. "I'm just going through some things right now."

My face frowned. "What kind of things?"

He shrugged again. "I'd rather not say," he said in a kind of sad voice.

I felt sad for him. He's seriously the nicest guy I've met in the group. Nicest guy I've met in general. What could've made him feel so sad and want to be alone?

I clicked my tounge. "Come on," I said grabbing his hand and bringing him to where everybody else was dancing.

"Where are we going?" he asked with big brown eyes widening up.

I was still walking forward to where everybody else was. "To dance. It's a halloween party. And we're gonna have fun. Both of us," I said facing him, still walking towards the crowd of people. I see some more people come in from the door opened by Gem. That didn't matter to me right now though. Pisces is going to have fun today. That's all that matters.

I dance along with Pisces to an upbeat song. Dancing used to be always be my favorite thing to do. I used to do cheerleading in high school because it was the closest thing to dancing I could do. When I danced, all of my worries were just gone. The feeling of how active I was always made me so free.

Pisces, on the other hand, was not much of a great dancer. He was super stiff and awkward that I laughed at him. His faced turned red when he caught me.

"I'm not really a good dancer," he says to me.

I raise a brow, still dancing. "Yeah, no kidding," I laughed some more. He rolled his eyes at me and laughed. "I'll show you how," I say, still laughing with him.

I grab both of his hands and wiggle both of our arms. "You just need to loosen up a bit," I say dancing like I was a worm. He started to kind of get the hang of it.

I've always liked Pisces. He was just that really nice guy that never liked too much attention unlike these other douches I now live with. Other than Taurus. He was peaceful with almost everyone. When I say almost, I mean almost. Him and Taur always go at it, but that's because they show so much tough love. I like that about them.

I let go of Pisces' hand and spin myself around to the blasting music. Everything just felt great. I looked at Pisces, and he was laughing and smiling. That made me laugh and smile too. His whole emotions were always so contagious. He then grabbed my hand and twirled me around until I felt dizzy. We both laughed at that too.

The both of us were still dancing together like stupid morons. Why haven't I tried to get closer with him before? I could see myself being great friends with him. Pisces turned around quickly when he noticed someone tapped on his shoulder. It was Cancer.

The both of us stopped dancing to hear what Cancer wanted to say. Everyone around us was still talking and dancing and making out, getting drunk or whatever.

Cancer looked almost close to crying. It made my heart drop. Was this because of Scorpio?

"What's wrong?" Pisces asked immediately.

Cancer was shaking her head. She was smiling, but I could see a few tears in her eyes trying to escape. "Can I talk to you about something?" she asked him.

Pisces looked at me, his eyes asking if it's okay. I tilted my head, telling him he could. He looked back at Cancer and went over to wherever she needed him to be. I was standing alone in the crowd of drunk people. This one guy tried to dance with me, and I rolled my eyes and got away from him. He looked like he would've barfed on me, and I was not going to end up like Aqua from last halloween.

As I was walking to the kitchen, I see Cap hugging Aqua. They were really close to each other. I wanted to walk up to see if she was okay, but maybe Cap finally made his move on her. Maybe they were finally together right now. I was frozen just watching them. Usually, I wouldn't feel this way if he hugged our bestfriend or any other girl. I just wish I didn't have the information of him knowing he likes her stuck in my head.

Aries came to the kitchen and walks up beside me. He crossed his arms with a bottle in his hand and pink lipstick smeared across his lips. "Are they together?" he asked gesturing his bottle to Aqua and Cap.

I turn around to the cooler for something to drink. "I don't know, and I don't care."

I felt him give me a lost puppy look. "You don't care who your two best friends are dating?" he asked me.

I turned around with a bottle in my hand. "Not really," I answered with.

He looked like he was scanning my face. I looked away from him, trying to look for something to open the bottle with. I struggled finding something, so when I turned back around, Aries was in front of me handing me his bottle, smirking at me.

I take it. "Thanks," I say bluntly. My vision switches back to Cap and Aqua who were still hugging. I could see Cap's lips move. I didn't know what he was saying, but it was driving me crazy.

"When did you dye your hair?" Aries asked me getting my attention focused back on him.

I take a sip from the bottle before answering him. "I didn't. It's a wig."

I started to drink again thinking of Cap and Aqua kissing. I look back at them, and they were letting go of their hug. Not kissing, luckily.

"I like it," Aries said, gently taking his bottle back and sipping from it.

I looked at him confused. Something was telling me that I wanted a distraction. I just wanted something. I tried taking the bottle back from him, but he pulled it away where I couldn't reach it.

He rose a brow at me. "Are you trying to get drunk?" he asked almost laughing at me.

I didn't say anything but looked back at him. I tried reaching for it again, but he held it up higher. I thought of Aqua and Cap kissing again. I quickly looked at them to only find them talking. With both of them laughing. Aqua playfully punched Cap's shoulder and it was making me so uncomfortable. Cap bit his lip as she did that.

I wasn't mad at any of them. I was just uncomfortable. I thought I would be fine at the thought of them together, but it's easier to say that than to believe it. I needed some kind of distraction. And if Aries wasn't going to let me get drunk, I'll do whatever it fucking takes to get distrscted.

Aries was still staring down at me. I grabbed him by his ninja suit and pulled him closer to me where our lips met. I tried making out with him, but he only responded to the kiss about twice. Maybe responded on instinct. He pulled away from me about three seconds after I pulled him to me.

"Woah, Libra!" he said almost yelling. He looked to where Cap and Aqua were at and hung his head. "Fuck. Libra," he started to say.

"What?" I ask, still looking at him.

He still had his head down and started to shake it. "That's not how this works," he says putting the bottle on the counter.

I felt my whole body shrink. "Why not? You go after every other girl. Why not me?" I asked kind of offended.

He almost laughed at that then quickly stopped. "My friend likes you. I'm not going to make out with his girl," he says backing away from me now.

Who likes me? Leo? Pisces? I just looked at him in confusion.

"Well, no one has fucking claimed me!" I say almost yelling. "I'm a free woman until someone does." I cross my arms looking at him. He looked at me back. Coldy. I could feel every part of my revealing skin getting goosebumps. Why the hell was I acting like this? This wasn't me.

I shook my head and uncrossed my arms. My face softened as my voice started to speak to Aries again, "I'm so so sorry, Aries. I don't know what's even gotten into me."

I shake my head out of embarassment. I felt so fucking ashamed. I kissed Aries because I needed a distraction from Capricorn and Aquarius. This wasn't me anymore. I didn't want to go back to my high school self.

He shook his head too. "Libra, it's okay. I know you didn't mean to," he said sounding extremely calm, it scared me.

I saw him look to the side again. I looked this time to see what he was looking at. Capricorn. He was looking at me as I was looking at him. No Aquarius to be found. I felt Aries leave the kitchen too. It was just me, Cap, and the huge space between us.

Capricorn walked up to me. I couldn't tell what expression was on his face. All I knew, was that he could be anything but mad at me. He's the one who likes Aqua, right?

"What the fuck was that?" Cap asked me angrily.

I guess he was angry. I rolled my eyes hearing the anger in his eyes.

"Don't worry about that. That most certainly won't happen again," I say reaching for the bottle Aries left on the counter.

Capricorn quickly snatches it before I could grab it. "Why were you doing it in the first place, Libra? I understand if Aries came onto you, but you kissed him," he said with a frustrating look on his face.

I felt like I just wanted to cry. I didn't want to get yelled at. Especially for kissing a guy I've known for years now. That we've known for years.

"Why the hell do you care, Cap? It's not like it's just any other guy," I say defending myself and fighting back my scared tears.

He clicked his tounge. "No, but it is Aries! He's just like every other guy!" he says yelling now.

I look around to see if anyone was watching us, and they weren't. We were the only ones in the kitchen and the loud music and talking concealed our conversation.

I run my hands through the blonde wig I had on my head. I know I said I couldn't take Cap serious in his costume, but without the colorful afro and the angry look on his face, all I could see was him being dead serious.

"It's not like anything happened anyway, Capricorn. You saw him pull away from me too, right? Apparently someone likes me, and he wasn't going to do that," I tried explaining myself throwing frustrated hands in the air.

His face softened up. "Did he say who it was?"

I looked at him curiously. "No. But why the fuck would you want to know? Aren't you in love with Aqua or something?" I say almost yelling mentioning that. I didn't realize how jealous that made me sound. I started getting goosebumps again because of my embarassment.

He just looked down and clenched his jaw. I could tell that he just didn't want anybody to take advntage of me. He was here for me. As a friend. A best friend. I stopped yelling at him this time.

I was shaking my head now. "Cap, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you. You're only worried I wouldn't end up with the right guy, and I get that. You're just looking out for me. You're a great friend for that. A great best friend," I say coming to realization.

He still looked down and didn't say anything. I didn't know if he was sad or mad. It made me feel so bad about myself.

"Cap?" I say grabbing his arm.

The sudden movement of my hand touching his arm made him look back up at me. He stared at me with his big brown eyes as I did with his. Logic was telling me to pull my gaze away, but my mind decided not to listen. I wanted Capricorn bad. I didn't want him as my best friend anymore. Why couldn't he just fucking-

...

Next thing you know, Capricorn's lips were pushed against mine. I didn't realize before, but my eyes were closed the second he started to lean in. He leaned in pretty quick, so our kiss was passionate and hungry. His soft lips were in perfect sync with mine as they quickly moved with hunger.

I felt Cap's hands behind my back as he was pulling me closer to him. My chest against his. My hands wound up in his curly black hair and pushed his head closer to my lips to deepen the kiss. Our warm tounges met, and I could feel Cap's strong grip on my bare back, holding me even more closer to him so there was no space between us. Our kiss slowly started to go much slower and more delicate. He pulled away slowly as our kiss softened.

At this very moment, we were looking at each other. But only for a short while. He grabbed me by my waist and pulled my closer to him, and I could see him smiling.

I was smiling back and laid my hands on his biceps. Soon, a question hung over me. "What about Aqua?" I asked him letting my smile dim.

He chuckled. "I never liked Aqua that way, Lib," he said looking in my eyes.

I gave him a confused look. "But I thought-"

"Yeah, I know what you thought," he said sighing. "I went to Aries for girl advice. He told me to say something that would make you jealous, and if you were, that meant you liked me back," he explained to me.

I stared daggers at him. "You listened to Aries? Out of all people?"

He shut his eyes in frustration. "I know, I know. I'm never doing that again," he says bringing me even closer to him.

I just smiled in response. Cap gave me a peck on my lips. At this point, I didn't care what he did trying to get me. None of that mattered to me anymore. Right now, I finally had Capricorn. Finally.
