Chapter 14.
(Leo's PoV)
I sighed wondering what to do with myself as I found my mind wondering back to the same question I had asked myself already 50 times today alone... where is Pisces? I groaned agitated as slammed my body back onto the sofa when the door suddenly slammed causing me to shoot back up with a smile. "Pisces?" I shouted getting up to walk over to the door only to see her beautiful figure standing in the hallway causing me to smile ,"where have you been all morning I woke up and you weren't next to me and your the one who sleeps in till after 2 in the afternoon," I chuckled as she placed her keys on her fish plate and turned to face me with a passive look on her face.
"I think we need to talk," she stated causing me to raise a brow and smile awkwardly wondering where this could have possible have come from and what this talk would entail.
"Erm, sure," I replied following her into the living room and taking a seat on the sofa. I watched her closely and her body language appeared cold and rejecting and her expression remained blank just like a newly authors book waiting to bloom into something beautiful or terrifying. Either way I had to and was most certainly going to find out for sure.
"Firstly, this morning we went out to rescue Scorpio and we managed to save him but he's changed a lot which is to be expected of course after what he's probably endured in there," she began causing me to gasp in shock that Scorpio was back and she left without telling me anything. What if she had got hurt or didn't come back? As I began to to speak she suddenly cut me off, "secondly, I was looking for that cute photo we took the other day on your phone but I accidentally stubbled onto tinder and found the 10 dates you've got lined up for the next couple weeks," she snapped bluntly with her eyes full of tears and anger causing me to gulp... I had been caught.
"Are you even going to try and defend yourself?" She cried just managing to get the words out with tears flowing down her face as I looked to the ground in shame ," don't you dare look away from me," she weeped staring at me causing me to gasp knowing the magnitude of the consequences of my actions.
"I-" I couldn't even get my words out I couldn't defend myself in the slightest after all I was the one who was going on all these dates with other women behind her back. My only hope was to lie all my cards on the table and explain myself after all I was the one in the wrong, "Pisces, I'm so so sorry," I gulped hoping my actions wouldn't lead to me losing the one I loved the most. "I want you to know all those dates mean nothing! I never touched or kissed anyone of those girls because none of them were you," I began taking in a deep breath as she frowned.
"If that is the case then why did you go on the dates in the first place!" She argues with her eyes piercing into my soul causing me to look away ," if I truly meant anything to you then you wouldn't have gone on those dates with all those other girls. You wouldn't have cheated on me," she growled clasping her hands together as if in pain - the pain that I had caused her.
"I'm just so scared. I've never ever been so close to you as I have been to other people in my life and you just mean so much to me that I couldn't let you get any closer," I explained as I began to cry knowing that I could lose the most important thing to me in the world. "So those dates with other girls were just a way to go back to the old times when I was just on my own and I was a player and I could do what I wanted when I wanted with no consequences," I added feeling like the biggest jerk in the history of jerks around the world, "but I realised that I don't want that anymore and that I want you and I want everything with you! That's why all those dates you saw I cancelled and I regret the others that I've been on because it's made me realise how in love I am with you and how I only want to be with you," I cried hoping she would reciprocate the same feelings as I and my actions wouldn't haunt me for the rest of my days.
"I love you so much Leo," she began drying her eyes slowly only to grasp my hand," more than words can say. I adored the ground you walk on and I would've done anything for you but I don't think I can forgive you for this," she cried holding my hand tighter as I felt my heart crack and sink deeper and deeper with every word she said ," I trusted you with my life and now I can barely stand to be around you and I wouldn't trust you to do anything for me anymore," she added as if coming to a revelation, " that's why I think it's best to end whatever this was so you can go back to your player boy days and I can find what I thought I found in you," she sniffed letting go of my hand causing my heart to split in two as a tear slipped from my eye.
"Please I'll do anything," I whimpered as if a wounded animal that needed help to get back on its feet as she looked away from me only to slowly rise from her seat with her back turned away from me. I could see she was in so much pain and all I wanted to do was hold her and comfort her yet I was the one who caused it, "Pisces please don't leave me," I whispered as she began to walk towards the door only to pause and look back at me with red raw eyes and a broken heart.
"It's too little too late," she mumbled lowly causing me to take a sharp breath in with my eyes opening widely as she walked towards the door and clattered it shut. Alongside shattering my heart to pieces as I felt all alone again in the world.... and it was all my fault.
====================================
(Cancers PoV)
"How's he doing?" I asked softly as Virgo turned back towards me full of sorrow and sadness as she stared at the door which Capricorn hid behind wanting to be alone. I couldn't help but reflect back on what could've been with my parents and what it would've been like to have them here now with us after all my parents must be in their late 70's now I guess.
"He hasn't come out for the past 3 hours cancer how do you think he's doing?" She sighed as we walked back into the living room turning our attention back to the triplets, "this is going to be so much harder now without her she was such a big help to cap when I was gone," she spoke quietly with words of admiration for Miss smith who I believe she had quietly admired for many years now as a student and a friend.
"Well it looks like you'll have your hands full now for sure," I responded looking between the three angels in front of us causing a smile to grow on my face," do you think they are his?" I questioned as she fidgeted slightly and coughed in response causing me to raise a brow as she turned to me.
"I hope they are caps I know how much it would mean to him if they were his after all he has raised them from birth", she spoke as I raised a brow causing her to look anxious," I'm scared cancer that now scorpios back we will finally find out if they are his or if they are Capricorn's and if they aren't caps I don't know what I'm going to do," she elaborated with her stress levels increasing by the second causing me to look at her in pity knowing that she was in the worst predicament to be in as I hugged her in response.
"Everything has a way of working itself out," I smiled as Aries walked in slowly with Libra, Gemini, sag and Aqua in pursuit causing Virgo and I to turn around in response as they all sat down in the living room, "you all ok?" I questioned as Virgo picked up her baby boy and began rocking him back to sleep as they all exchanged looks.
"It's Scorpio," Sag began sitting forward and gripping his hands together as I frowned in confusion and Virgo stepped forward in concern, "he's obviously not himself and we were hoping that Virgo would come with us to see if we could knock him out of it," he added awkwardly as they all exchanged awkward glances between each other as she laughed.
"Me why would I snap him out of whatever's up with him? Clearly he has ptsd or something from that hell hole," she stated in a defensive manner causing me to raise a brow in confusion to why she was acting so strangely.
"Vir you must have some kind of connection to him after all you did-" Gemini states the obvious pointing to the baby in her arms causing her to narrow her eyes in response, "what everyone knows they are Scorpio's I mean look at the girls they have his eyes and the little boy clearly has your skin tone," she added causing us all to feel tense as the atmosphere rose.
"Come on Virgo. Do it for Scorpio for god sake you must've felt something for him and clearly he did about you," Aqua added to their argument making the whole situation grow even more heated and worse than it already was as she placed the baby boy back in his cot and glared at them all.
"I can't believe you guys," she snapped placing her hands on her hips as if looking at them in disappointment, "it was a drunken one night stand that I will regret for the rest of my life! I don't love Scorpio or even like him for that fact," she explained causing them to all gulp feeling her wrath, "how dare you come into my house accuse me for loving Scorpio because I slept with him and then say that the babies are his when cap is behind that door morning the loss of his mother and on top of that have all of you ranting and raving that the babies that he's been raising aren't even his but the guy who I cheated on him with," she growled looking between all of them," I'd like you all to leave," she snapped as they all guiltily got up from the sofa feeling ill mannered.
"Virgo, they were very wrong in how they went about that but their intentions are good. Go and see Scorpio because we need him as much as you don't want to admit it but you do to," I whispered softly as I grabbed her arm to get her attention," go and see him for you babies sakes," I added as she looked at them long and hard before turning back to the door which cap locked himself behind, "don't worry I'll look after them and him," I smiled as she sucked in a deep breath with Aries waiting at the door and the others outside as she slowly walked out to save Scorpio from himself.
"Thank you baby," Aries smiled blowing me a kiss as I smiled in return as he closed the door behind himself hoping that he could save Scorpios sanity. I turned around only to meet a foul smell causing me to look down at the three tiny babies before me all smiling evilly as if plotting this after all this time, causing me to grimace......
"Right who did it?!"
