(Hey, AV here! Just wanted to put a little reminder here that this is the sequel to "Twisted Turns", which is why I put "Wrapping it Up" in the title for this book!
If you haven't read it yet, please do so as this book contains mentions towards that one and may be a bit confusing for readers who haven't seen that one yet! Enjoy! ^^)

Gallon after gallon.

He wouldn't stop.

We couldn't do anything.

WHY DID HE KEEP ON GOING?

Didn't he know there was no going back?

Didn't he know this wouldn't change anything?

And still he tried.

And still I stood there. Helpless. Defeated. Alone. Angry. Terrified.

I sat up straight, sweat dripping down my face. What time was it...? I looked at the clock.

5:32 am.

Damn.

I jumped up out of bed, throwing on my apron. Cosmo said that he wanted to talk to me today. I suppose he noticed that I had been silent recently.

But who wouldn't be? After all that had happened...

Astro......

Enough of that.

Opening my door and stepping out into the main hallway, I head towards the elevator to the main rooms. It was my turn to make breakfast for everyone else, since Teagan had done it yesterday.

Stepping out, I felt a tap on my shoulder. Turning around, there was... no one there?..

"BOO!!" I whipped around, punching Connie straight in the gut. She flew back a few feet, groaning.

"O-oops, eheh! Sorry, didn't see you there! Maybe because I'm missing an eye?" I mockingly said. Rodger told her not to scare any of us that were there.

She sat up from the floor, glaring at me. "Come on, you vegetable! I was only messing with you!" I took a step towards her, leaning down to look her in the eyes.

"I'm a fruit." I answer simply, holding direct eye contact.

"You know that's not what I meant." She responded, a small smile starting to form on her face.

"Tch." I stand up straight and walk around her, 'accidentally' slamming my foot down on her tail, making her cry out.

"Whoopsies." I mutter only for her to hear.

Of course Connie would get caught up in thinking the other mains and I were practically disabled. I mean, sure,

Vee is currently getting treated by Tisha,

Pebble is being shown the proper care from Looey,

Shelly is- well, Shelly is practically unharmed, aside from having to make sure each of her facial expressions don't scare the living hell out of everyone else.

Astro?.... I don't know where he is. I don't think anyone knows where he is.

But Dandy is paying for what he did.

Me?...I'm....ugh.....

Cosmo is making me take anger management. And my first class is today. That's why he wants to see me.

God knows what shit he's gonna make me do...
