One-shots and stories for people who need happiness in their life

How could you?

Conner Blue-17
Sarah Grain-16

"How could you Conner?!" Sarah says, her voice breaking, tears making her eyes glossy. Conner looks away from her, not being able to meet her eyes. "I...I had to Sarah.." "you didn't have to do anything!" She says, tear streaks lining her pale skin.

"The Twins said-" "don't blame them! You know perfect well that you could have kept your mouth closed...you know what happens to me Conner...you are letting this happen...you promised me...how could you?" She says weakly. Conner looked down at his feet, his auburn hair covering his one good eye.

"Just when I thought I could trust someone in this hell hole I can't. You know. You've been there. We get over worked every day and are out on display. Yet you still throw me under the bus..." Conner now has tears rolling down his face. "Sarah...love..." "don't! Don't you DARE call me that, Conner Blue." Sarah says harshly

"I thought you could cut my strings, turns out you're just another puppeteer using me! Just as bad as our parents or the twins." She says her eyes burning into conners soul.

"I did it to protect you!" Conner finally yelled. "Protect? You call me getting used protecting!?" Conner winced. "I...yes." "God Conner" Sarah scoffed. "Maybe hanging upside down really messes with your head...because you clearly are really stupid"

"Sarah please...." "no Conner!" Sarah says turning her back to him. "I'm done...I'm..." Sarah pauses. "I'm not telling you because who knows who you'll go tell." She whispers, walking off, her shoes making a sound every step.

"SARAH I LOVE YOU!" Conner finally shouted, looking at Sarah.

Sarah turned around "you don't know what love is" she whispers before exiting the main ring.

"Well~" a voice says. "Did she learn her lesson?~" another one says, obviously one female the other male.

"Shove off James, Rayna. You two are as bad as your father..." Conner says watching as tears fall into the sand below his feet.

"Oh? Did ya hear that Jamsie~ poor ol blue here says we are as bad as Pop's!" Rayna laughed slipping into the shadows and back in front of Conner. James laughed staying behind Conner. "You see Conner. You and Sarah where never meant to be. You control the stings in the air, and she is the puppet. Your fate was always the same~ ask zöe!"

Conner stayed quiet. "Poor Conner. Heart broken...there is no room for love in the carnival Blue...our
parents made that mistake. That's how we are here~" Rayna laughed before her and her twin disappeared into a smoke bomb, leaving Conner hating every thing he knew as life even more.

The only thing that was worth living for at the Carnival was Sarah. Now she was gone. He didn't want to play her. He didn't want to break her. She was already broken. She didn't need anymore.but he couldn't stop it. He needed to stop it. The 'Fates' don't matter. Zöe is a liar. A fraud. There was room for love and that love was the only way to survive.

Conner needed Sarah to live. And Sarah needed Conner to live.
