•_xiao: "i-...what's this...xiao?.."

•_xiao: "it's not what it looks like..."

•_I saw aether standing up from bed bowing, my eyes widened.

•_aether: "I'm sorry for the inconvenience..xiao was only trying to make me feel better..I take the blame..and..responsibilities.."

•_I stepped back in tears when I saw the hickey on her neck..I ran out of the room and heard xiao running after me..

•_I started smashing everything and heared him yelling for me to stop but I did not listen I got a bottle and ran past him and went back into my room slamming the bottle onto aethers head..

•_xiao was shocked..I realised what I've done..I over exaggerated..again..I saw aether tearing up..when I saw half of his face starting to bleed..

•_I tried to get closer to him but he backed up..he was scared...I messed up..bad..I tried to speak but before I knew it he ran and jumped out the window and fled out the city in tears...

•_I turned around to see xiao..

•_venti: "I-I didn't m-mean to.."

•_he hugged me..he really did just comfort him..

••aethers POV••

•_I was out the city I tripped half way down the path of the forest I went up a hill to see lumine sitting on the ground singing..

•_I didn't know who to go to..anymore..I..was helpless..worthless..unworthy..

•_I then ran up to lumine and then hugged her like she was my life about to take its last breath..

••lumines POV••

•_once I saw aethers face bleeding, I got bandages and wrapped it around his face.

•_lumine: "..aether what happened!?"

•_aether: "..I-I I'm sorry lumines I should have listened..I can't take this anymore..I'm useless..I failed"

•_I started to cry and hugged him tighter.. I looked up too him,

•_lumine: "aether... go back their and apologise.. that's the best thing to do.."

••aethers POV••

•_I nodded and stood up and was running, running and running..once I got to my house I opened the door to see venti drinking her life off..And xiao crying in the corner with a injury..

•_I took the bottle of alcohol out of his hand and then he just scratched my eye..I took my hand and placed it on top of his head and stroked his hair..

•_he was calming down and then he collapsed..I nodded and I fled upstairs..the only word I said was "I'm sorry...this is my fault..I owe you a lot.."
I locked myself into my room..sobbing..

••xiao POV••

•_I was processing what was happening..I've never seen venti act like this..it's good that aether calmed him down..

•_I got up and grabbed venti bridal style and and went upstairs..I heard crying..oh aether..it's not your fault..it's mine.. I went into venti's room and laid him onto the bed I then pulled my shirt off and laid next to him hugging him..

•_this day was a mess
