Blue Royalty: New Blood

F^^k. This girl would not stop. What was her point in even mentioning that they didn’t talk to each other? If she wanted to talk to Logan of all people, why didn’t she do that before senior year? They had been at the same school all this time without talking to each other. What was the point now? It just didn’t make sense why Logan was suddenly being accused of avoiding her. “I said, have a good night.” Logan answered when she stopped to ask what she had said. “Maybe I’ll see you around sometime Parker, but I’m going to go get myself a drink.” Was she going to actually go get a drink, no. That punch would surely be spiked, and she wasn’t going to risk getting pulled over and having alcohol in her system when she went home that night. She just needed some space, a chance for some air instead of dealing with a weird situation with a girl she hardly knew.

Destiny hit his arm. “No, because I’m mad.” Her frown turned into a small smile. “I knew you were playing anyway-” Despite trying to hide her wonky disposition, Adonis caught on and asked her what’s wrong. This was the last place she was supposed to be drunk. She didnt want to embarrass herself here and have her strict parents find out. She should’ve never drank anything before coming to Prom. “I’m fine.” She avoided his eyes and started changing the subject. “Now sir.” Her fingertip tapped his chest. “Me and Eric don’t talk about unnecessary things like favorite colors. We talk about the future and what we are going to do in our lives. Just admit that you don’t know anything about her it’s fine.” She wasn’t saying this in a rude way at all but it possibly sounded like that. “Where did she even go? Poor girl. You need to be a gentleman and not leave your date to talk to another girl. Tip mummber one.” The last end of her sentence was a bit slurred, but she was hoping he didn’t notice that. For the most part she was in control of herself, but there was still some uncertainty.

Even before getting to the prom venue, the night was already going as well as she had hoped. Well… maybe not exactly as she hoped. It might’ve even been better. She really, really liked being around Mateo. He was always making her smile and laugh, and they had so much fun together. Plus, Mateo really was pretty cute. He was just so sweet. When they got to the prom venue, he even opened the door for her to help her out of the limo. “Me too.” Sophie responded, with a slight blush visible to her cheeks. Though, they did leave Dawg with the limo driver, since there was no way to sneak Dawg in unnoticed. The whole place was very pretty, and simply wow. That’s one thing you can say about Cerulean high, they do prom right. When they got inside, Sophie walked with Mateo over to the table of food. “Please. Punch, and some brownies. Brownies are always good.”

"I’m fine’ Destiny had responded and Adonis didn’t believe her one bit. “Are you sure your fine?” He asked her, his tone showing concern for her. Destiny had changed the subject, avoided his eyes. She was definitely not fine, he should take her home. But wait he didn’t even know where she lived :man_facepalming: Adonis was strayed from his thoughts when Destiny tapped his chest, Adonis laughed a little about the words that left her mouth, forgetting his worries for how drunk she seemed to be. “But I do, me and Maddie just prefer to talk about unnecessary things like favorite colors, talking about the future is overrated, especially since me and her won’t be with each other in the future.” Like Adonis said before he had no feelings for Maddie and he won’t develop it out of nowhere. Maddie liked him yes he knew, but she would be delusional to think they end up husband and wife.

“Where did she even go? Poor girl. You need to be a gentleman and not leave your date to talk to another girl. Tip mummber one."

Destiny said the last part slurred and Adonis concerned for her rose up again. “You’re clearly not ok Destiny.” He told her, “I’m worried, let me take you home he would have to inform Maddie he was leaving and she was not going to be very happy about that. Maybe Maddie and Destiny’s date will fall in love and he’ll take her home, he was praying for that because he didn’t want maddie going all crazy on him.

After putting some pizza and another brownie on her plate, she agreed to sit down with him at one of the tables. “So…prom huh?” She laughed, noting the fact that she was bad at conversation. “What are you doing after high school? I think I know but I’m still not sure.” She wanted to get this chance to know more about Tyler. Sure, they were friends but there were still things she didn’t know about him or Mia. Even though he was her date she didnt feel pressure to behave a certain way…okay nevermind. She would always feel pressure when the word date was involved.

What was the point? Intentions never matter. Never. Not unless your intentions agree with the story someone else has decided is the truth. Whoever created the phrase, “it’s the thought that counts”, because that person is a liar. The thought is never what counts. It’s only the appearance that really matters. That appearance, how people respond to that appearance is all that anyone cares about. Everyone will believe a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but rarely does anyone believe it could be the other way around. The bad hides behind the genuine, good front, which is automatically expected to be the only case even when the intentions behind the worst decisions were to do the right thing, or at least… the closest to the right thing given the situation. “I know. I know that everyone in my life gets put through hell, because of me. Everyone that’s ever given a damn about me worst of all.” He couldn’t change the past, no matter how much he wanted to. The most he could do was to take every action possible to not hurt anyone in his life even more. When Jess realized that Daniel was the reason for Akielah’s self-isolation, all Kai could do was simply nod. She had to have known that Akielah wouldn’t have just stepped away like she did. “You wouldn’t understand… and I’m not trying to bother Val, I just need someone I trust…” The list of people he could trust, was very, very small, and the number of them that he could talk freely with, without holding back, was even smaller. Even as she tried to deny that anything was going on, it only proved that there was something he was missing. She even called him Kai before changing back to say Malachi. Something was going on and he needed to know. Kai didn’t know what she was trying to hide, but he certainly didn’t expect the words that came out of her mouth. Anna’s… daughters… his“What the f^^k?” That bit of information certainly took a moment to process. “Anna’s… Mine? But… f^^k…” Anna was one of the people on the planet he hated most. Right up there with his wife and his father. He would never have done anything with her. Except… that one night. He never had been able to remember more of that night, nearly 20 years earlier. He had been completely blackout drunk that night, enough so that even the next day he had quite a lot of alcohol in his system… at least that’s what he had been told in the hospital after surgery, after being stabbed. That day… May 30th, 2020… Elettra stabbed him, and Jess… everyone almost lost her for good that day… and the baby they could’ve had was lost… but he woke up that morning before the stabbing with someone else… someone he despised in his bed. Anna Pierce, the twin sister of the girl he had fallen in love with. He had been so out of it the night before that he didn’t know it was her until that morning, a realization he had for the most part blocked out of his memory, but apparently, there was more he never knew. “I… what the f^^k…” Kai muttered, more to himself than anything. He got Anna Pierce pregnant. “And nobody thought to tell me?” he questioned, looking back to Jess.

I promise you I-I don’t like you like that.
Athena didn’t know how to react to her saying that. Especially after she had been the one to kiss them, which just made them wonder if she actually felt this way or if she was just saying that because she thought that was how they felt. An awkward silence set in as Athena tried to come up with how they were going to respond. “Right. Yeah, of course.” They finally said, even though they were well aware that it was only adding to the awkwardness. “We should probably get going. Don’t want to be late.” They quickly added as they remembered the reason they were at Luna’s house to begin with. The driver, who had now been standing outside the car for several minutes, opened the door for them. “After you,” They said, gesturing to the vehicle and silently hoping that things would get somewhat better as the night went on.

Over the music, he heard Richard say something. “So Elijah, I didn’t picture you as a guy who likes oldies"

“I like a lot of old songs. Most of my favorite songs I like are old. The new music that comes out these days are just not as good.” It was true, there were maybe two or three songs he heard recently that were playlist worthy. “What kind of music do you like?” He asked curiously. He really didn’t know much about Richard and it was a great time to ask questions, especially so the ride didn’t get awkward. He decided to ask another question after turning back to the road. “So, what are you guys looking forward to during prom? I don’t know why but I keep Imagining the three of us winning prom king and queen. It would be so strange.” That was one of the things he couldn’t help thinking about almost as soon as he realized he was going to prom with two people.

“I hope she knows that.” That was her answer to the statement Adonis made about not wanting to get to know his date more. Well, Destiny knows that Maddie probably knows, she was his date after all. And when your his date well lets just say that birds of a feather flock together? So she was possibly a player too.

“You’re clearly not ok Destiny, I’m worried, let me take you home”

Those were the next words she heard that told her that he heard her slurring. She really thought she could hide it. I mean she could. She straightened her posture and reached out her hands. “What are you talking about?” Then she picked up his arm and pretended she was trying to spin him around, when his arm didnt go the right way she moved them up and down a bit roughly to simulate dancing. “That would look really bad if you took me home. I’m just saying. I’m fine Adonis. Really. Besides, I have my own boyfriend that can take me home if I really need it.” Why was he acting like a saint that never got drunk before? She had to admit that this side of him was oddly endearing but a bit insulting.

Richard smiled when Elijah confirmed he liked old music. When he asked Richard back which music he liked he responded the words through his smile “I knew there was a reason I liked you, because I also dwell in the past when music is concerned.” But he didn’t want to be rude so he turned to his left and asked Sammy “What kind of music do you like?” trying not to get too excited about old music and in the meantime forget to include her in the conversation. “Don’t worry, just because the two of us like oldies, doesn’t mean you’re pressured into the same opinion tonight.” Only Richard would think asking this was pressuring her into saying something. Of course, in such a situation Richard would feel pressured so he usually thinks others feels like that too.

When Sammy answered Elijah asked them what they’re looking forward to Richard said “Well I’m just looking forward to socializing. That’s the only reason I go to dances, to be social and maybe to let loose and dance a bit. But when it comes to winning prom king, I would hate it, because then I’ll be asked to dance with a stranger with a spotlight directed at me and everybody staring at me … I just couldn’t do it. No doubt the two of you will win the honor, but if you do, don’t worry about not including me into the dance, you’d be doing me a favor by excluding me. Do the two of you hope to win though?” He asked curiously. No doubt they were both brave, handsome, well-dressed, legendary and had chemistry so Richard felt as if that’s how a perfect prom would end for them, and then shortly after felt stupid for asking that question.

They sat down, and by what Karen said next, Tyler had a feeling she wasn’t the best at conversation. “Yeah, prom.” She then asked his plans after high school, and he thought for a second. “I’m not really sure either. Definitely something to do with the water. I might just follow in my dad’s footsteps and become a surfer like him. I know Mia wants to become a vet. She’d be great at it.” He said, taking a bite of chicken. “This chicken is really good. What’s your favorite food? As you can see, I really like chicken.”

“There is a committee,” They said, confirming her statement. “My sister was on it when she was a student here.” They continued, getting out one last coherent sentence before their brain became foggy. They heard their date ask them what was so funny and they stopped for a second, realizing that they didn’t really have an idea as to why they were laughing, it was just something that started happening. “I don’t know…” They said, admitting it out loud before they stopped again, taking another moment to think about what they were going to say next. “What I do know is that you are really, really pretty. Like a fairy. Are you a fairy?” They rambled, making themself laugh once again.

“I’d figure there’d be a committee. If your sister was on it, I bet prom was great that year.” Hyun-Ae’s stomach dropped when Niko began to act really oddly. She was so worried, she almost missed Niko calling her pretty. Turning bright red, Hyun-Ae grabbed another brownie, inspecting it nervously. There was definitely something wrong with those brownies. Having eaten several herself, Hyun-Ae was starting to feel strange herself, though she felt very relaxed. “I’m not…a fairy.” She said slowly, legs buckling. Her heart was beating erratically, and the lights were so bright, almost painful. Hyun-Ae was now sitting on the floor, curled up, panicking.

“That sounds like fun, Mia would definitely be a great vet.” She said in response to Tyler. “I wish I can do something interesting right away but …I will most likely be going to college for something random but will dropout to pursue acting…my parents want me to go to college.” As she said this she wondered what he would think about that. She was well aware that it was probably a bad idea. What if her acting career didn’t work out? She would be extremely disappointed. “Theatre is my favorite class for a reason.” She saw how Tyler bit into the chicken and giggled. Just him being his usual funny self. “My guilty pleasure is definitely cheese fries. I would eat that everyday if it wasn’t so unhealthy. Chicken is my second favorite.” She felt a grainy texture in her mouth from the brownie. “I definitely don’t like these anymore though.” She wondered what was wrong with it after picking it up again. “Hmm, I have another question, what are some things on your bucket list?” She asked curiously. She felt like she could ask Tyler any question and the answer would be interesting.

“i hope she never knows” Was all Adonis said in response. Though he already knows that she knew. She knew that Adonis didn’t hold her feelings but she thought she could change that, what a pretty but delusional girl. “Whose your date umm inspiration and celebrity crush? since you guys don’t do basic things like favorite colors” Adonis said the last part air quoting it.

He sighed, It doesn’t matter if it would look-just that- never mind, want me to call your boyfriend?" Adonis said the last part angrily and it surprised him. He shook his head and gave her a look that said 'look i care about you, is either i take you home or your boy toy-sorry boy friend. “If you don’t want to leave fine, but you need to sit down.” Adonis grabbed her hand before she could say anything and pushed through people to get to an empty table with seats.

As they drove to prom, the silence was really awkward. Normally, she wasn’t bothered by silence, silence was something she was used to and something that she liked. But this, this silence was unbearing. “Soo umm d-did you have any idea of who to take to prom before me.” she asked, wanting to break the silence but also really curious. Did they have any opinions before her? of course they did, but luna wanted to know who. “it’s ok if you dont want to say anything, it’s just… I thought of asking El” Luna opened up, so Athena wouldn’t feel like he was the only one confessing. Sure Luna just gave the first two letters of his name, but it was still technically opening up.

Silence: for a second, that filled the room as the words she had just uttered settled over both of them - and instantly, Jess could see his mind racing. Jess could always read that… despite his attempts at being stoic when they were dating. Every time Malachi Azure’s mind worked, it could be seen in his eyes and trust her… she had looked in them for long enough to know. Right now - Jess knew the questions that he must have been analyzing… it was the exact questions she asked when Anna had told her she was pregnant as she recovered in the hospital.

“What the f^^k?"

Flashback:

“What the fck?”

Dan’s words echoed in Jessica’s hospital room which was currently filled with only Anna, Dan, her, and Jessica’s mom. Apparently, this was… a conversation that needed to be kept private… and that much was clear with what exactly Anna had to say. “What the fck do you mean you’re pregnant with that piece of sht’s baby? Get rid of it. God.”

“Daniel…”

“Don’t… start with me. Look Aunt Addie, I know Anna’s your kid, but what the fck? Seriously? You fcked that arse and got fcking pregnant Anna?,”

“I know that Daniel and clearly, I’m dealing with it. I’m not… I can’t get an abortion.,”

“Dealing with it? You call this… bringing this sh!t up NOW in Jess’ fcking hospital dealing with it? After that fcking Azure is the reason she’s in here in the first place”

“He’ll… they’ll take… the baby if they know… the Azure’s aren’t… if you’re going to keep this baby, Anna, we need to… tread carefully.,”

Jess looked over at her mom as she walked over to Anna, putting her hand on Anna’s stomach. Throughout all of this - no words left Jess’ lips. She couldn’t… talk… what… what was there even to say? All Jess knew was her heart was just as broken as the moment she realized Kai had used her.

Words continued to echo around her for the next hour or so… plans being made… and in the midst of it all, Jess sat silently unable to mutter anything except a single sob when she was alone again.

End of Flashback:

Jess stayed silent, allowing… Kai to process her words. Maybe it was a mistake… maybe this was something she should have kept but with Paige and Kiara finding out… it was only a matter of time.

"And nobody thought to tell me?”

“No one thought they could trust you anymore Kai… and god… I tried. I tried so much and you just reminded me every single time that it wasn’t worth it because you would just hurt them like you hurt… me.” Jess whispered, unable to say anything else as she looked into his eyes.

There was no way to describe how Embry had felt over the past month other than completely and utterly miserable. She couldn’t stop thinking about how everything she had said to Daiane on Valentine’s Day had just been one mistake after another and she knew that she had hurt Daiane, which was something she had never wanted to do. She also couldn’t stop thinking about the envelope. Whether or not giving it to her was a good idea, if it had been cruel to end their argument by handing it to her and if she had opened it or not. If she had, what had she thought when she saw what was inside?

“Musse ich gehen?” She pleaded to her mother as she sat at her vanity, her mother doing her hair. Even though she knew she would regret it if she didn’t attend the prom, the thought of going without Daiane was still painful and she had started to wonder if it was worth it. She hoped that speaking in her mother’s native language would earn her some sympathy points but all her mother did was laugh as she gathered Embry’s hair into a bun. “Ich mache gerade deine Haare, also ja.” Her mother responded, placing the golden hairpiece on Embry’s head and securing it to ensure it would stay on for the entire night. “Es wird Spaß machen.” She added, hugging Embry before stepping back so she could stand up. Once she was standing, she put on her jacket, finishing off her outfit, and turned around so that her mother could see the final look. “What do you think?” She asked, switching back to English as she asked her mother for her opinion. “You look beautiful, Embry.” Her mother replied, putting her hands on Embry’s shoulder. “Thank you, Mutti.” Embry replied before going downstairs to where her driver was waiting to take her to the prom, alone.

When she arrived at the prom, she began taking photos to post on her account later, the account which she had regretfully neglected over the past few weeks but was planning to revive with a huge prom post. She wandered around, looking for things to take pictures of. Then she saw her. The girl who she had been avoiding, despite spending every day longing for her touch. Daiane. Standing there in a dress that made her look like she didn’t belong in this world. Embry stood back, watching her and wishing that it was her who had accompanied her tonight. Although, maybe it wasn’t too late to change that. With that thought, Embry began weaving her way through the crowd as a loud noise burst through the venue, distracting everyone, including Hera, which gave Embry the opportunity to put herself in front of Daiane. “Mind if I cut in?” She asked her, taking her hand and leading her away from Hera, towards a less crowded area of the dance floor.

Tyler nodded at Karen’s compliment. “I’ll tell her you said that. Or…maybe you can tell her yourself if we can find her. She should be around here somewhere.” He said, not bothering to look around. He’d never see her through the crowd. “You want to be an actress? I can see that. I hope it works out, but don’t keep your hopes up. College is a good idea, so you have something to fall back on.” He grinned when she mentioned cheese fries. “You definitely can’t go wrong with those. Unless you’re lactose intolerant…” Tyler had to think about the bucket list question. “Hmmm…scuba diving seems fun. Just…without stingrays.”

The night was going great so far. Eric had asked Destiny out for Prom on Instagram. He felt nervous but remembered she’s not a random girl. That was his friends friend and he had seen her around. Needless to say, he was glad when she agreed. He honestly thought she already had a date. The thing was…they didn’t have any chemistry. He remembered sitting in the limo and there being multiple awkward silences. But their relationship was great in terms of friendship so they probably would go their separate ways after this. After drinking a beverage that wasn’t spiked punch because he could not tolerate alcohol, he wanted to go see where Destiny was so they could finally dance. He was done mingling. When he looked around he finally spotted her being…grabbed by someone? I mean, he wasn’t jealous but he wondered what was going on. “Destiny!” He yelled out loud, trying to get her attention, but to no avail.

Destiny’s Pov

“No, not anymore questions” Destiny thought to herself when Adonis asked what was her dates inspiration and celebrity crush. She needed to lie at this point. “His inspiration is Nickleback.” Wow, she did not mean to say that. She totally forgot what Eric told her and was supposed to say a name of an athlete. “And we don’t talk about celebrity crushes because he doesn’t need another crush. I’m his crush okay?” Her eyes became a bit blurry and they led her to look down at Adonis’s shoes. Wow… his shoes were very pointy. They looked like her dad’s church shoes…how did she not notice that before? Before she could say anything else, he grabbed her arm and began leading her to the table. “Hey, what are you doing!” She took his hand off of her arm and sat at the table. “You’re being very disrespectful tonight. I’m going to tell your mom haha.” Destiny looked around and saw that the food table was right behind them. Wait…are those brownies? Hell yeah. After grabbing one, she stuffed one in her mouth and began chewing. “You know what Adonis. I dont know anything about Eric. I’m tired of pretending.”

“Destiny!”

She looked at the other side of the room, and saw Eric calling her. “What?!” She yelled. Why were they yelling across the room? Just come over to where she was, but that was one of the many things she didn’t understand about Eric. When she gestured for him to walk to the table, he finally did.

“What’s going on? Are you ready to go dance?” He said, looking at Adonis from the corner of his eye.

“Yeah, i’m just talking to my friend right here. His date abandoned him.” With a smirk, she looked at the guy beside her. “And i’m eating a brownie.”

“Oh. What’s up.” He held out his hand for the guy with the long hair to shake.

How did it get this long lol
