Nabla was standing, feeling empty inside. Alef and his alliance were always nagging her, she was tired of it. No escape from her long lasting pain.
”I’m tired of thinking..” She mumbled under her breath, a short breath of static silence until Nabla approached her room door.
It was thundering and storming heavily, snow and sleet falling down in lots of places. She opened up her phone, multiple texts from her teammates.
Glue: Nabla, you ok?
Nabla: Yes, I’m fine, I’m gonna go outside for a bit and grab some packages.
That was a lie, she put her phone down and walked for a while until she approached the cliff, it looked a lot higher than before, which wasn’t so good.
”I just want to live freely. Is that too much to ask.” She asked herself, as she lowered her shoes off, then stepping onto the rock flat on the cliff. She decided to take a deep breath for a moment, then went to the near edge of the cliff. Her eyes darkened, any sign of emotion gone out of her face. She let herself fall.
”No…more…it’s too late for me.”
She was falling, but soon enough, before she hit the ground, someone happened to be there.
“NABLA! W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”
Her eyes widened as she was grabbed by Oodle. Her older sibling. That alone made her so guilty that she started crying in Oodle’s shoulder.
”I’m s-sorry!” She sniffled, Oodle hugged her and carried her to his home, resting her on the couch.
”Please…never do this again, what even made you think you could do this?!” He frowned, giving her a towel to dry off as he made her some hot tea.
”I…Um…Al…Well…it’s a long story…” Oodle still insisted she tell.

Nabla was asleep in Glue’s arms, Glue was crying while holding her, gently running her hands through Nabla’s long hair. Nabla had slightly woken up, and Glue hugged her even tighter.
”I’m so sorry for not doing anything, you’re my girlfriend yet I did nothing to help you! Please forgive me!” Nabla gave a quick smile, it faded.
”It’s okay. You didn’t know..” They shared a long kiss before getting ready for the day.
”Nabs, our team has a discussion we need to talk about with you..let’s go.” Glue took Nabla’s hand and they went outside to where Team 4 was at.
Alef ran to Nabla, and slapped her. Much to everyone’s surprise.
”Nabla you idiot! You worried me sick, please never do this again!” He hugged her tightly, crying heavily, which he had never done before.
”I thought you…don’t you…didn’t you want me to die..?” Nabla teared up as Alef hugged her tighter.
”NO! Please, you’re my cousin! I know I said things I shouldn’t have…but I’m sorry! I never meant any of them!” Nabla nodded, burying her face in his shoulder, as the rest of the team ran up for a group hug, including Oodle and..
”T-Telescope…? What are you….doing here?” Nabla was confused slightly,. but Telescope just hugged her, crying.
”Do you have any idea how much I’ve missed you?! You scared me so much when I thought you died, I just…couldn’t throw this away!” Glue became a bit jealous, but she couldn’t do anything about it, Telescope and Nabla were best friends.
Telescope leaned into Nabla, although unexpected, they kissed, and it was a lot livelier than when Glue and Nabla did. Much to Glue’s dismay.
”I’m..sorry about that..you’re already with Glue..I shouldn’t have-“
”It’s okay, she deserves someone better than me.” Glue frowned, and spoke again.
”Nabla, I hope you don’t mind..but, I think we should break up..you looked a lot happier with Telescope and, I failed by not helping you out.” Nabla’s eyes widened, but she nodded sadly.
“If you..ok..I’ll…” Telescope cut Nabla off by carrying her in his arms.
”Apologies everyone…Nabla…you don’t mind..right?” Telescope looked at her, and she nodded, as Glue really didn’t seem like she wanted to be with Nabla anymore.
”Now, if you’ll excuse me..i have a Nabla to comfort.” With that, he carried her away.
Unlucky enough, that was only the beginning of the mishaps.
