Questioning Fate (A Darabella story)

PART 9: Rumor Has It

Hi!
It's Tomo here! So normally when people write Darabella fan fiction, Briar,
(Rosabella's cousin)
Normally spreads a rumor about "Darabella" for Apple's sake.
(Because they are BFFAs)
However, in my fanfic, I want Briar to be good for BOTH sides.
(No hate for anyone who does these Briar rumors)
Yes, in this episode there will be a rumor spread, but Briar won't be the one who came up with it.
If you wanna find out who did,
keep reading!

It was the day after Parent Week and everyone was just a little bit more like their parents.

Kitty Cheshire was a little more devious with her pranks,
Lizzy Hearts kept saying (more then usual)
"Off with your head!"
And Apple White was more calm, and graceful than before.

But something else happened during parent week...

A message saying;

"So...while everyone at Ever After High is shipping "Darabella",
sources say Daring Charming has been dating other girls...

Behind Rosabella's back.
-Living Heartbreak"

Daring's POV

The moment I pulled out my phone and read the text, something was very wrong.
Not just my reputation, but my trust with Rosabella.
What if she believes that?
Have I ever done anything like that?

*flashback*

(Just until 2:30 ish)

Oh no oh no oh no!
It was just a dare!
What is Rosabella gonna think?
What will happen with Lizzy Hearts and I?
How did it all end up on video?

"Son?"
My Dad askes.
"Are you okay?"

"Um yeah, I'm fine....Um...I gotta go."

My Dad looks confused
"Um...Okay? Be safe."

I run out of the dorm, and go straight to the entrance of EAH.
Rosabella should be here soon.

After waiting for a couple hours, I finally see Briar and Rosabella's wagon show up.

"Rosabella!"
I yell, running towards the wagon.

"Get away from me you...you..BEAST!"

I see her jump off the wagon, and run away.

Briar gets close to me.
"Why did you do that to her?
Why?"
She walks away.

"Oh god. I messed up..."
I mutter under my breath.

I notice Lizzy Hearts in the corner of my eye.

"Lizzy! We have to talk!"

She turns around to look at me.

"What Ever After do you mean?"
She says sweetly.
