Time doesn't last...

     Libra's pov


Saturday had never been so extremely long. I'd always thought that if we were to move, it would be super fun. And it was, if you left out that I'd missed most of it because I was too busy breaking down. After all Taurus and Sag told me, I really cursed myself for freaking out that much. But, that's one thing I had to admit, Virgo was right about the Chaos after all. It changes you, a lot. But well, no matter how you put it, it seemed like I ended up being neutral, just as I predicted. I just didn't predict that Sag would be neutral too. If he actually was, that is.

'I'm telling you, I'm not on Aries' side!' Sag shouted from his spot in the back of the car. It was around 4 a.m., and somehow, we managed to get all of our stuff packed again in just a couple of hours. Dad had sent most of our furniture off to our old house already, and surprisingly enough, it didn't seem like any of the others noticed us leave.

'Well, I definitely am on Aries' side,' Taurus muttered, sitting in front of me and Sag. 'Does this stuff really matter?' dad sighed, steering the car into another street. 'It does, dad! I missed out on most of this, I really want to know everything that happened,' I said stubbornly, but the conversation had ended. Sag leaned up against the window and started staring at the dark streets, Taurus leaned back in his seat and put his grumpy expression back on, and I just disappeared in my own thoughts.

Until the car stopped, and we were home again. Or well, in the place mum and dad called home.

It was weird to walk through the front door and see our old living room, with some of our furniture already back in its place. Dad walked past the three of us, a couple of boxes in his hands, while all we could do was stare at the empty room. It brought back memories; happy ones, but, unfortunately, also quite sad ones. But wasn't that what a real home was built on? Memories of different feelings, different emotions?

My mind somehow immediately gathered every single memory of what we'd been through at the Chaos Flat.

But, that was over now.

'Well,' I started, 'I guess this is it, then...'


     Taurus' pov


'This is it?' I asked, turning to my brother. 'What do you mean, this is it? We aren't just going to sit here and do nothing, right? I mean, we have to get back to the Chaos Flat! That's our real home! And if mum and dad don't understand that –'

'Let me just stop you right there,' Libra said, holding up his hands. 'If you want to get mad, then go get mad at mum and dad. They're the ones making us move, not me.' 'Fine, then,' I mumbled, and rushed to the stairs. Dad had just gone upstairs, whether it was to one of our rooms or to his own, it didn't matter. I was not going to live here again.

'Taurus!' dad said, looking up when I walked into his room. 'The moving company called again, we'll be able to move in in just three days! Isn't that great?' 'Perfect. Dad, we need to talk,' I stated and sat down on the edge of the bed. He frowned, before sitting down next to me and waiting for me to continue.

I took a deep breath, before I looked up to him. 'We have to go back.'

He frowned slightly and leaned back a little. 'Back? What do you mean, back?' 'We have to go back to the Chaos Flat,' I stated, at which he shook his head. 'The Chaos Flat? Do you mean the building we've just lived in for about two months?' 'Yes, dad,' I said, 'and we have to move back there.'

'We have to – Taurus, what are you talking about?' he asked me, and I sat up a little more straight. 'I don't want to live here. I want to live there again.'

'But...' My father shook his head another time, looking extremely confused by my words. 'I thought you wanted to get back here?' 'I did, before I realized I didn't,' I said, and I realized this talk would definitely longer than I thought it would be.

'Look, dad, I am very happy that you can afford the new house, and that mum can move back here and stuff, but I really did like it better at the Chaos Flat. You may not understand it, but the days over there really changed me, just as Lib and Sag. We all liked it better over there.'

Dad was silenced for a second, and it looked like he was thinking about the things I had told him. There was very little chance he would actually understand what I'd just said, but I could always go ahead and try to tell him... or maybe that was a big mistake.

'Taurus, whatever you're implying, stop it,' dad stated, and stood up. 'We moved back here, because your mother and I wanted to make you and your brothers happy. We both realized the three of you weren't truly happy there, and to be honest, I wasn't happy there either. It's better for all of us if we live here, or in our new house, better than living in that trash dump.'

'That trash dump made us happier than this house could ever make us!' I shouted, standing up as well. 'Sure, we felt unhappy in the beginning, but we made friends! We made friends who we really love – and those friends love us too! We were actually happy there – I was actually happy there! For the first time in my life, it felt like I was living it! Just Libra and Sag; we've gotten way closer, closer than ever before! It was almost as if we actually were friends! You can't just take that all away from us!'

Dad kept staring at me, a bewildered look in his eyes, but he didn't move for a couple of seconds. Neither of us did. Well, until he turned around and moved over to the door. I clenched my hands into fists, looking down at my feet for a seconds, but when I looked up again, dad was gone.

'Yeah, I forgot,' I mumbled to myself, plopping back onto the bed, with my face in my hands. 'You've already taken it away from us.'

Libra and I exchanged glances right after Tau ran up the stairs. 'I don't think this will end well,' Lib sighed, and I nodded. 'He has a point, though. I mean, don't you want to go back to the Chaos Flat as well?' 'I don't know, Sag,' he muttered, and looked at me, frowning. 'I mean... sure, I realized it was a good place way too late, but to actually go back there...'

'Libra,' I interrupted him, though I didn't really knew what to continue with until I actually said it: 'Do you remember the first day you went to high school, and you came home without having made any friends or contact, whatsoever?' Libra rolled his eyes with a sigh, and nodded reluctantly. 'Yes. Of course I remember that.'

'And do you remember the day after that, when you came home with the exact same message?' I asked, at which he nodded again. 'And every single day after that, until the day dad told us he and mum were getting divorced and we were forced into the Chaos Flat?'

'I hope you're going somewhere,' he muttered silently, but I ignored it and went on: 'The days in that building were practically the only days in your life, in which you actually went and made some friends – or at least, attempted to. Do you really think things will be better if you go back to school this year, and keep coming home whining about your lack of contact, when you can also move back with Tau and I and have some real friends for once?'

Libra remained silent for a moment, and the only sounds we could now hear were soft voices from upstairs, slowly getting louder and louder, until Lib finally decided to speak up. 'Living with Virgo seemed to have done you some good,' he said, and turned around to the hallway, causing me to turn around as well. Dad was already taken by Taurus, Libra didn't seem up for any more talking, so the only one left was...

'Hi, mum.'

My mother looked up with a smile, moving a bit from her place on the small bench in our garden. 'Hi, honey! Come, sit down.' I did as she said, and I couldn't help but smiling along with her. She always had this positive vibe around her, a certain vibe that didn't only cause her, but also others to smile brightly whenever she was around. Even now, when I was feeling miserable, somehow mum managed to keep me happy – kind of.

She sighed happily, leaning back in the bench to look up to the orange tinted sky. 'Wow; I never thought seeing a late sunrise could be this beautiful. Isn't it just great to have a garden again?' 'I thought it was better to have some friends,' I mumbled, and instead of looking to the sky, I stared down at the green grass tingling my feet.

From the corner of my eye, I noticed how mum turned her head back to me. 'Honey, you have friends. Now, I know Libra and Taurus can be a bit irritating sometimes, but –' 'That's not what I meant, mum,' I sighed. 'We really did have a great time back at the Chaos Flat, and I know Libra and Tau would agree with that. Sure, moving back home is great too, but...'

'Sag, listen to me,' mum said, softly, as she lifted my head by cupping it carefully. 'The friends you made over there, aren't just friends who will forget you after the time you spend with them. They are friends who will stay with you for a long time, even if you can't spend most of that time together with them.'

I knew I was nodding, but I also knew I didn't really mean it. 'I know, mum... but it just won't be the same. You'll only understand once you've lived there for, well, at least long enough to get caught in a Chaos.'

She chuckled, and stood up from the bench only to sit down on the grass in front of me. 'Honey, I know it sounds tough, but you just have to get over this, and everything will be fine. Your father can be a bit stubborn with these kind of things, but I will do everything I can to help you.'

I almost allowed my head to nod again, but, instead, I stopped and shook firmly. 'Mum, you don't understand. It's impossible.' 'Nothing's impossible, honey,' she smiled, 'as long as you push through.'

'That's just it,' I stated, and stood up from the bench, turning my head so the golden sunrays wouldn't catch my eyes. 'I'm not the one who should be pushing right now.'

'What?' mum asked, a hint of surprise in her voice. I sighed again, shook my head another time, and started making my way back to the house.

'You... you don't understand.'

But, as I walked away, I realized I didn't understand either.
