Glitching back into my room, I fell to the floor in fatigue.
Glitching my body in and out of existence through space and time was one of the powers I never used due to their setbacks.
The bionic all had their own setback from either using their powers too much or barely and using a particular kind of power from the powers gifted to them.
My setback was to glitch uncontrollably and my body loosing it's control of the amount of transparency needed to be solid.
The worst part was the pain from each glitch.
My body twitched and glitched painfully as I tried to make my way to the bed.
My foot suddenly hardened, disturbing my balance and I fell to the floor instead.
I groaned in pain, trying to control the glitching but it didn't seem to want to stop.
That was a really far distance you travelled Rio.
My consciousness scolded me and I groaned again.
"Rio?" Aelia called from outside my room and I cursed inwardly. "Is everything okay? I heard a loud crash."
Mustering up my strength so the pain didn't reflect in my voice, I opened my mouth to reply.
"It's okay, I'm FINE! It's the stupid iron deficiency! Lost sight for a second!"
There was a pause then an "Oh!" Before I heard her footsteps shift back and her door close.
My body glitched again and my form became distorted. It was painful trying to move my arms.
All this for a fit of jealous rage? What the heck was I thinking?
My body glitched back to normal and I passed out on the floor.
×××
Someone's phone rang for the fifth time and I groaned, pushing myself off the floor.
"Turn it off!" I moaned into the surprisingly cold bed.
Wait! That's the floor!
I shot up from the floor like a rocket only to drop back down seconds later.
I'd forgotten what it was like to have iron deficiency. Those little snacks had served as a temporal way of getting rid of it.
The phone rang again and I frowned. That ringtone was mine.
I slowly stood up, careful not to move too much as I made my way to my bed where I last dropped my phone.
*Five missed calls from Sherica*
I frowned, wondering why she of all people would call me five times.
I called her back and before it could even ring, she had picked the call.
"Rio!" She shrieked, causing me to pull the phone from my ear. "Where the hell have you been? Do you even know what's going on right now? Get your ass to office this instant!" She screamed and hung up leaving me confused.
Office? I wasn't supposed to go back till the second of January. I checked the date and almost cursed my very existence.
It was already the third!
I rushed out of my room and found Aelia on the couch, clicking through the TV channels.
"You're finally awake." She muttered, turning to glare at me. "What happened to you Rio?" She dropped the remote to stare into my very soul.
I opened my mouth to explain but she stopped me, raising her hand up with the palm faced to me, effectively shutting me up.
"You don't need to, I will do that for you. "
She sniffled and I noticed her disheveled appearance.
She looked like she had been crying.
" I leave you alone in your room that afternoon and when I go back, you're gone. Only to come back at night and make a hell lotta noise like a drunk person but that wasn't my business. Lior calls me the next morning to tell me to meet him in the lobby. I go there to meet him with some girl. The same girl I saw you with on the first! " She laughs a bit and I move back.
" He tells me he doesn't like me anymore. No wait, he said he never loved me and I should ask you why. YOU RIO! " She screamed, fire rising in her eyes.
My eyes widen in shock. The fuck did Lior do that for?
"You Rio, knew he never loved me and you didn't even think to tell me that I was wasting my time for a year? A FUCKING YEAR RIO!" She tossed the remote in my face and I caught it right before it could hit my nose.
Aelia didn't seem to care, she kept tossing things my way, screaming in anger as tears freely flowed down her face.
The lights flickered in response to her anger and I froze, allowing a lamp to hit me smack dab in the face.
Always the face!
"I COME BACK TO TRY AND TALK TO YOU BUT YOU IGNORE ME ONLY TO PICK YOUR LOCK AND FIND YOU PASSED OUT ON THE FLOOR! THE FUCK DO YOU THINK I AM? A FOOL?! " She bellowed, the lights flickering faster before the completely blew and she screamed again in rage, picking up the couch.
Something suddenly hit her and she dropped the couch and took in a deep breath.
" I'm leaving. Don't look for me. "
She stormed into her room, took her already packed belongings and stormed back out of my apartment.
She turned around to glare at me
"Have a wonderful new month Rio, you'll need it. "She whispered and then slammed the door.
I stood there shocked, holding the lamp that had hit me in one hand and my phone in the other. I was still processing what has happened.
My phone rang and I picked the call, bringing it to me ears still dazed.
" Hello? "I whispered.
" Rio, get your ass right here now. There is serious trouble! " Sherica screamed again and hung up.
None of what Sherica had said had been process in my head. I was still stuck on one thing.
Aelia was bionic?
