The House

chapter 11

Luz Pov

I walked back into my room to find Amity already passed out tucked up in my bed, I looked down at my freshly bandaged hand, she had learnt how to do human medicine for me. She took my breath away with just her smile, I was going to have a hard time keeping this crush to myself. I walked over to my sleeping bag and got in zipping it up around me. As I leaned into my pillow I heard Amity move around in the bed, I turned over and saw her thrashing, she was crying and all of a sudden she was shouting. I jumped up forgetting I was zipped up into my sleeping bag and hit the floor, I quickly reached for the zipper grabbing it and unzipping it. I ran towards my bed grabbing Amity's head holding it in my lap "Amity, Amity wake up." Suddenly her eyes snapped open and she looked at me, I ran my hands through her hair in an attempt to calm her down, her breathing was labored and tears ran down her cheeks "hey Am are you ok, do you want me to make you some hot coco and we can talk." She looked at me and sat up, but before another word could be said she wrapped her arms around me and held me tight, "please don't leave me Luz" she whispered into my chest. I held onto her but I knew I needed to get her downstairs and get something in her. My mom would always give me hot coco to calm me down when I had a night terror and I needed to help her calm down. I made a plan and put it into action, I pulled amity into my lap wrapping her legs around my waist and stood up holding her. She held her arms tight around my neck as I walked down the stairs, ya know I worked out so I could punch people who messed with my friends but being able to hold her close and carry her downstairs was much better.

I placed a pink mug in front of Amity, she smiled softly as she held the mug in her hands, I sat down pulling her chair towards me so her knees were touching mine. "What happened Amity, you scared me." Her golden eyes connected with mine as she sighed "night terror." Only two words that told a story that would leave anyone wordless. I grabbed her hand squeezing it reassuringly, she held on smiling at our hands, I grabbed my hot coco taking a sip. My scroll buzzed, I flicked it open and saw a message from Eda "hey kiddo if you're seeing this message when I sent it, why are you up at 3 am get your human ass into bed, anyways King and I aren't going to be here on Monday more likely Wednesday or Thursday, there's been a small problem, there are some snails in my room should cover food for the next week. Love ya kiddo see ya soon and I better get a first day at Hexside photo on Monday." I chuckled at Eda's message before putting my phone back down on the bench. I noticed a small cut on Amity's hand, she had caught her hand on the edge of my bed when she was freaking out, I ran upstairs grabbing the medical kit. Amity looked at me confused as I placed the red bag on the bench, I reached for her hand placing it on my knee, I grabbed the green tube of antiseptic "Luz I'm a witch you dork I can use magic." Amity giggled as I looked at her "Ms. Blight I don't care, let me look after you." Amity's face blushed a deep red as I placed some antiseptic on her hand.

I picked up my phone "3:47" I had spent the past 40 minutes making Amity smile and it was rewarding but I was starting to feel tired. "Hey Luz you look tried lets head to bed." I lazily smiled at Amity as she took my empty cup out of my hands, she placed the cups in the sink and walked over to me helping me up. We walked into my room and I walked straight towards my sleeping bag but before I could pick it up I heard amity cough "uh Luz I'm still feeling kind of freaked do you mind sleeping with me you don't have to I just." I cut her off placing my hand on her back "its ok Am I'm happy to" I was glad it was dark because my face flushed a deep red as she climbed into my bed. She shuffled over giving me space to crawl in, I was glad Eda got me a queen bed otherwise I would not have fit in. I pulled the covers over us as amity turned over wrapping her arms over my stomach resting her head on my chest, my heart raced as I put my arms around her holding her close as sleep took over my body.

I woke up to Amity softly snoring, her head was nuzzled into my neck and her arms lazily draped over my stomach, I felt my face turn red at the fact I had the prettiest girl in the world lying on top of me. I moved slightly hoping I could make it out without waking up sleeping beauty but much to my annoyance I felt Amity strengthen her grip around me "no don't u dare move I am COMFY." I couldn't help but laugh at Amity's tired voice yelling at me. "Are you laughing at me Noceda?" Amity giggled sitting up, it took me a second to realize that Amity was sitting on my stomach, she looked down and went bright red before rolling off me and straight onto the floor, luckily I grabbed her waist before she smacked onto the ground, her face was still dark red. She climbed back into bed grabbing her scroll laying her head on my stomach scrolling through Pensta, I picked up my phone and texted my mom to see how Bella was doing, I wasn't very worried about her because that girl was one tough cookie, my mom said she would visit her tonight and bring some flowers. I lowered my phone looking at Amity, she had a faint smile on her face as she responded to messages, I so badly wanted to kiss her but I knew she would never feel the same way about me like how could she it wasn't like I was that important. I used to write to her every night, my diary was more a compilation of letters addressed to the green haired witch, I would get made fun of for the photo in my wallet. She never knew I took that photo of her, she was lying on the owl house couch wearing my t-shirt reading Azura with a smile adorning her face. I used to cry in the bathrooms and I would pull that photo out and just think of what Amity would say to me, I would imagine her telling me to suck it up and move on. I hadn't realized but I had started to cry and tears dripped down my face, I needed to work out so my emotions would stop. I stood up and moved Amity off my stomach, she grumbled cutely but lay down on my pillow, I grabbed my workout kit and wandered to the bathroom. I quickly changed and headed downstairs starting to lift.

"Luz, you need to eat something its almost ten you've been down here almost an hour." I turned around to see Amity in my doorway holding my water bottle and a plate. She was wearing a pair of blue mom jeans and a large black hoodie "oh Am's are you wearing my hoodie." I smiled as she went red looking down, I walked over and grabbed the water "its ok Amity my closet is your closet, anyways I want you to text the gang and tell them to invite some friends get some booze and be at the owl house by 7, we are throwing a party. Uh you can stay the night if you would like." Amity smiled before grabbing her scroll texting Boscha she wandered back upstairs, I scoffed down the omelets Amity made me and walked up to the bathroom, I opened the door and immediately regretted it. Amity stood in the middle of the bathroom in nothing but a bra and shorts, I slammed the door shut and kicked myself, I was bright red and I had invaded her privacy "amity I am so sorry, I didn't realize and I needed to take a shower god I'm sorry." The door opened and Amity stood in front of me thankfully wearing a shirt and a bright red face "its ok Luz I should have locked the door that was my fault, and don't worry I see you in just your bra far to often and you've only been here 4 days, now go shower ill prep for the party." I nodded and strolled into the bathroom, god she was going to be the death of me.
