Viva's Pov
I woke up this morning and found Poppy sleeping on the floor. Her face was red. It was like she was crying all night. Her colours were blurry. 
"Poppy?"
"Mmm?"
"Why are you sleeping on the floor? What happened?"
"Nothing."
"Poppy your colour is ready to fade away. That's not happening out of nowhere."
"It's nothing Viva."
"Is it because of Creek? Did he do something?"
"No , he didn't."
"I know that look. He did something. And he's gonna get it." I said and I left and I heard Poppy saying "Viva don't!"
I saw Creek talking to Biggie and when he noticed me he made his way through the crowd and said "I was about to come and find you."
He saw the anger on my face and said "what's wrong? You know already?"
"What did you do to my sister?" 
"How do you know about that?"
"So you did something. Her colours are fading because of you! What did you do?"
"Her colours are fading? Interesting."
"Wait ? What did you mean by saying "you know already" ?"
"What I mean is that her colours are fading but it's not because of me. It's because of.....Branch."
"I don't understand."
"Your sister and your boyfriend had a secret relationship all along. I just found out yesterday. I don't know why her colours are fading because they seemed to be really....happy together."
"You're lying. You just want to mess with me." 
"I lost my girlfriend, because of that. Why would I lied now?"
Branch's Pov 
I woke up and I couldn't get out of bed. I didn't eat anything and I couldn't sleep all night. My brothers were worried so they tried to talk to me.
"What's wrong, little bro?" John Dory said 
"Did you have a fight with Poppy?" Floyd asked
"No , we didn't have a fight. We....broke up." I said and I cried 
"What? Why?" Bruce said 
"Creek threatened her. He knew that she was meeting with someone. Besides that , she was already feeling guilty. She didn't want to hurt Viva."
Poppy's Pov
My colours were almost gone. I decided to go for a walk so I would forget about last night. I was walking around the village when Viva showed up with a really angry face. 
"Poppy is it true?" 
Oh no! She knows! 
"About you and Branch?" She said and she was crying 
"Viva..."
"Don't try to lie , Poppy."
"Yeah , it's true. But I ended it!" I said and I was crying as well
"What?"
"Viva , I'm so sorry. I know that I'm a terrible sister and that I hurt you and I totally understand if you're mad at me. So yell at me , do whatever you wanna do. I totally deserve it."
She didn't do anything. She was staring at me with a blank expression. 
"Deep down , I knew that something was going on between you two." she said and she left.
Everyone was looking at us. I've never felt so ashamed. Everyone eventually left until no one was there. I started walking until Creek came from behind me and grabbed me by my waist. I tried to let loose but Creek had hold of me. 
"I warned you."
"You told Viva?"
"Maybe. I saw you with Branch yesterday and found this : "
The card Branch had given me.
"How did you find that?"
"It doesn't matter. Now I want you to relax and follow me."
We were walking around the woods for hours.
"Where are we going? What do you want?"
"Don't worry , love. We're here."
We were in a field with flowers. 
"What are we doing here?" I said in frightened voice
"You'll see." He said and he kissed my cheek. I kept struggling but then I felt really dizzy. Maybe it was the flowers. Then everything went black.
