Ch 11- Songs & Feelings

Author's Mini Note
Ik you probably hate me cuz the actual chapter is quite short.

Tessia's POV (This is a deleted scene, so read it if you want but it's not the best)
I stood in front of Arthur's door. I looking at the label on the door 'Arthur Leywin' the boy who caused me so much trouble, the boy I've grown to love more than a friend.

But he doesn't see me more than a friend...Tessia this is the plan. Friend before lover! I'll stay as his friend but I need to let him know that I see as him more than a friend.

As I turned the handle I remembered what Ellie said to me: It's going to be your fault, only your fault.

What she said made me realise how small and selfish I was. I shouldn't have taken that risk, I shouldn't have fought. Art wouldn't be hurt right now if it wasn't for me.

"Tess?" Art called out snapping me out of my thoughts. "Y-yeah?" I answered as I looked at him the only thought in my head was, he's in that bed because of me. I could tell that he was tired, I should...go.

"Did you leave something?" He asked, well I was going to confess to you or something but I changed my mind. I inwardly smiled at myself sarcastically.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW?!!?

"Not...exactly..." well I did leave something, I left my confidence I had outside the door.

"What's wrong? Is your mana core acting up again? Come here." He called for me as he sat up. Sigh. Why are you worrying about me when your still in pain? Why don't you blame me for being so selfish?

I walked over to him and stood in front of the bed. "Aren't you gonna sit?" He asked.

"Uh oh yes..."

I started walking over to the chair, the chair I've sat on or rather been glued to for 3 days. Haha that isn't really something to brag about is it?

As I walked over to my chair, I felt a hand grab my wrist, it wasn't tight nor did it hurt. It was just to keep me from going away.

"You can sit on the bed...if you want." He said to me with a smile, that smile. The smile that made my heart melt: cheeky, childish, sheepish, loving...

I sat on the bed, "I-I don't know how to say this..." taking a deep breath. "Please don't be angry with me for asking this." I said looking down at the sheets, I began rubbing my thumb. God this is stressful.

He put his hands on mine, his hands are so warm, I want to hold his hand... no Tessia! No! Don't think like that. "I won't. I promise. But you've got to do something in return." He said, hmm? What could it be?

"Of course anything! What is it?" I answered in a heartbeat.

He took a deep breath and said, "Come under the sheets with me."

I'm sorry...WHAT?!

"W-W-what?!" I exclaimed, I could feel my face getting hotter and hotter. "Since you're cold and all, plus we've had mini sleepovers before...so can't we still do it...?" He clarified.

Hahaha, I remember when I had a nightmare and I couldn't move. I tried to but I couldn't, I went back to sleep again but woke up again for the second time and this time I could move so I ran into Art's room which was next to mine. I remember him saying it was something called sleep paralysis? It's when you try to move your body when you're half awake and half asleep but you can't.

But anyways, we ended up staying up nearly all night telling each other scary stories and I also did Art's hair. I remember being so proud of my creation, but Art thought other wise. Hahaha.
