I put Childe on my bed he was lucky it was the weekend and not a weekday Kaeya had called his mom so I didn't have to worry about that I sat beside him I looked at him he grabbed onto my shirt pulling me down he got on top of me he leaned down "W-what are you doing?" I asked he slowly pressed his lips against mine I blushed a lot and he kissed me gently but he tasted like alcohol I pulled back a bit well as much as I could which wasn't really that far from his lips I looked at him he kissed down my neck I wanted to push him away but the more I thought about it the more I realized I actually didn't mind what he was doing I knew something was gonna change tonight and I just let it happen 

He had loosened me up I was laying on my stomach hugging my pillow my face was buried into it I was so embarrassed so my face was very red and I was crying I didn't want him to see that even if he was drunk 

He had finished and cleaned us up he was sobering up a bit I got up to shower but my back and hips hurt he looked at me "I'll help you" I shook my head it's okay "I'll shower in the morning" I laid there he laid beside me going straight to sleep I looked at him he was knocked out I got up and went to sit at my desk I was uncomfortable my lower half hurt I sighed and went on my laptop I have been confused about this feeling I've been having around Childe I looked up if my best friend was in love with me which was embarrassing to look up but I did it anyways I clicked a link that said '7 Signs your best friend has a crush on you' I started to read

7 signs that your best friend has a crush on you:1. Everyone thinks you're already dating2. You catch them staring a lot3. They're physically affectionate to you4. They're more attentive towards you5. They remember the little things 6. They're very protective of you 7. They're not interested in anyone else

I looked back at Childe who was still asleep I blushed a bit I thought to myself remembering the time in school some kids were picking on me and he told them off scaring them away or the time I told him my favorite thing were dragons the next day he had bought me a dragon stuffed animal which he was sleeping with right now I got up after closing my laptop I go change and climb into bed I covered us both

I woke up in Zhonglis bed he wasn't around I sat up and groaned from a hangover "O-ow my head" Zhongli came in he was wearing ripped blue jeans a long black shirt a brown hoodie and a light blue jean jacket he was holding a black bag he put it on the bed "Here take this I got it to make you to feel better" He smiled a bit I looked at it "Oh thanks" I smiled at him he took everything out and handed me a water bottle that was cold and Advil he sat on the bed as I took it he went on his phone I started at him for like a whole 3 minutes he looked at me "Is there something on my face?" He asked I shook my head "No sorry" I looked away as I groaned getting out of bed "You can take a shower I got you clothes at the store" He looked at me getting out the clothes he bought me "Thanks sorry for the trouble I caused you"

I watched Childe a lot when we hung out noticing he was showing every sign they told me about online while I was hanging out with him at lunch today I asked him to meet me on the roof after school since I needed to tell him something 

After school I walked out onto the roof it was already starting to rain like the weather said it would I waited for him he came out and smiled at me "Hey what did you want to tell me?" He asked I looked down than back at him "I-I'm in love with you" I blushed a bit getting soaked he just stood there and laughed a bit "You know I'm straight right? If you caught feelings because we were fucking let's stop I hope we can still be friends though" I didn't even bother looking at him after I put my head down tears just started to fall I was shocked I thought he loved me but I guess I was wrong I just ran past him going down the stairs my chest hurt so bad I've never fallen this hard for someone in my life it hurt so bad I ran past Albedo and Kaeya I got my bag and just left the school since everyone else was my phone was going off 

I got to my house and locked the door I sat at the front door and just cried I didn't care If I was gonna be sick the next day I was just so hurt I looked at my phone seeing messages from everyone Albedo mostly Childe even tried to call I put my phone away I shivered as I sat there leaning against the door "Why does it hurt so bad?" I whined my chest being in a lot of pain 

I woke up in bed the next day I groaned confused how I got here I then seen Albedo "Lay back down you have a cold you were asleep soaked at the front door yesterday" I teared up "I hate myself" He came over to me hugging me tightly "Childe told me what happened he doesn't hate you.." Albedo played with my hair gently as he laid beside me now I cuddled into him as I just cried
