Octavia was currently sitting at the dinner table; the table was completely set for what was clearly a dinner for two, complete with fresh cut roses in the middle of the table, pair of lit candles set opposite each other on both sides of table with the lights dimmed down to suit the atmosphere. On one side of the table was an empty chair on the other side was a visibly upset Octavia, she was slumped in her chair, staring at the time on her watch.

“2 hours….I’ve been sitting her for two hours waiting for him to come home…..” Octavia said as she stood up from the table and threw the napkin on the table angrily. She stormed into her room with great fury “I can’t BELIEVE I spent two hours of my night waiting for him to come home! Time and time again, this is getting completely ridiculous! I can’t take it anymore!” Octavia ranted and raved as she angrily paced around her room.

She stopped in the middle of her room and angrily dialed her phone “hello mother.” Octavia said as her mother recognized the tone in her daughter’s voice all too well “oh I know that tone, that’s your ‘I’m pissed and want to kill someone’ voice, what did vinyl do this time?” Riveting asked sitting and getting ready for her daughter’s emotion filed tangent “it wasn’t Vinyl this time mother.” Octavia said as she felt her breathing become a quicker paced and heart rate speed up.

“Then who was it dear? Arrow? Roden? I know you told me he recently moved to Canterlot.” Riveting pressed on, trying to figure out who her daughter was so upset over. “No, it wasn’t any of them either, it's the last person I ever expected to this to me, it was….Mise.” Octavia said as small tears started to form in the corners of her eyes. “Oh no, please tell me he didn’t cheat on you or anything.” Riveting asked worried at what Mise could have done to cause this

“No, if he did, I’d be calling from the police station not my cell phone, but no he was 2 hours late for dinner. But there’s more, he’s been running off, neglecting his time with me, is always late...and...and it hurts; I feel like he doesn’t care about me as much, I’m starting to think he’s more interested in running around like Richie rich than spending time with me and taking care of needs and responsibilities as my boyfriend.” Octavia said sniffling trying to hold back her tears.

“I’m sorry to hear that honey, I’m sure he has a good reason for what he’s doing sweetie. He was so nice when he came here, I can’t imagine what could have changed.” Riveting said trying to her emotional daughter. “I know...it's just...I don’t understand, did I do something that would make him not want to be around him? Am I not doing enough to keep him around? I mean I try my best to be a good girlfriend! I try to supp-” Octavia rambled on before getting cut off by her mother on the other line

“shhhh...! Honey, just calm down, okay? I highly doubt you did anything wrong, if you say you’re doing your best then I believe you, how’s this? Why don’t you come back home for a few days, just get away for a while. I’m sure Vinyl and Mise will be fine on their own.” Riveting said in a calm motherly tone. Octavia sniffled a few times as she thought it over, wiping away her tears “a-alright, I’ll start packing my things; I’ll be over in the morning.” Octavia said as she said her goodbyes and hung up.

Octavia sat down on her bed for a few moments trying to compose herself as she finally got up off the bed and grabbed her suitcase and started packing. As Octavia folding a pair of pants, she heard and felt the telltale rumble of Mise's tank pulling into the driveway. “Well it's about damn time he showed up…” Octavia said as he grief had returned to being anger. She waited for Mise to come through the door as she continued packing her things.

“Octy! I’m home! Sorry I’m so late I had to drop off Fang and eclipse…shard wanted to have ehem...talk with me…..Octy?” Mise said as slowly walked through the house having dropped off his things at the door. Octavia was trying to ignore him as she was trying to finish pack so she could leave. As much as she loved Mise, he was just too much for her to hand at the moment.

No sooner had she put the last of the last of her belongings in the suitcase and zipped it up, did Mise poke his head in through the doorway “Octy? You in-Octy! I’ve been looking everywhere for you! Didn’t hear me come in and call for you?” Mise said as he went to put his hand on Octavia’s shoulder only for her quickly spinning around, swatting it away “yes Mise I heard you, now if you’ll excuse I need to leave now.” Octavia said as she grabbed her suitcase and walked to the door passing right by Mise. “What? What are you talking about? Where are you going?” Mise said walking after Octavia.

Octavia kept walking, stopping right in front the front door. She turned around looked right at Mise with very serious face “I’m going to parents’ house. You don’t seem to want to spend time with me or play your part in this relationship.” Octavia said calmly but sternly as Mise was taken back a bit by this sudden revelation “w-what?! What makes you think any of that? I love you Octy, I want to spend every minute I can with you.” Mise said trying to defend his case, but unfortunately for him Octavia had already made up her mind

“what makes me think of that? Oh I don’t know...the constant running off, never spending time with me but finding time to break every law in Canterlot city in a day’s time, and lastly but certainly not least, finding enough time to run off to AFRICA for 3 WEEKS!! But never even discussing these things with beforehand, you just assume I’ll be okay with it and that I won’t mind being left behind like a pair old tennis shoes!” Octavia said with tears forming in her eyes as she turned around slammed the door behind her.

Mise stood there staring at the door, letting everything sink in as he fell to his knees knowing that Octavia was right. He was always running off doing things, never thinking about how it would affect her. He sat there on the floor for the better half of 10 minutes, letting his life with Octavia play over in his head like a movie.

“How could I be so god damn stupid!?” Mise said getting up and walking into the kitchen, what he saw ripped, what last shred of his heart was left, to pieces. The fresh hot meal was now cold and spoiled, the flames of candles were now smoldering wicks leaving the room in an eerie darkness, it was exactly as Octavia had left it when she stormed off, chair ajar and napkin sitting on the plate. Mise walked over to the table to see a card with his name on it. He opened it up and as he read it, tears formed in his eyes “Mise, thank you for making me happier than anyone could have. You’ve always brought me great joy and are the love of my life, I can’t imagine being with anyone else, thank you for everything you’ve done for me and all our friends…..XOXOXO Octavia….” Mise read aloud as he broke down in one of the chairs.

“What have I done...I-I’ve almost completely ruined this relationship…..” Mise said as he slumped down in his chair, staring off into space and sitting silent in the darkness singing a song himself as he passed away the night sitting there
