You ran through the Coven looking for Cordelia. You need needed to tell her the truth. After searching almost every room, you still couldn't find her. You were getting hopeless until you remembered that Cordelia liked to go to the green house for some quiet. You ran into the greenhouse expecting Cordelia to be at her desk. You burst through the door, but Cordelia wasn't there. You stood in the doorway defeated and peered around the room. She wasn't here.

Sitting on the steps outside, you buried your face into your knees. You sobbed quietly. Cordelia probably wasn't that into you. Maybe your hell was right, and maybe you were just Cordelia's rebound.
The thought made your sobs a little louder. You felt ashamed for falling for Cordelia. She was way out of your league, and you showed too many emotions. You were probably dragging her down.

You felt a hand on your shoulder.

"Are you okay?" It was Cordelia.

You quickly wiped your tears off your face and onto your sleeve. You turned and looked up at her.

"I'm fine," you forced a smile. "Where were you?"

" I was on a walk- Oh my god," Cordelia nearly stumbled back. "No you're not fine! You're a mess," She quickly sat down next to you. She wrapped an arm around you and pulled you into a side hug. You leaned into her embrace. "Please tell me what's wrong!" Cordelia said softly. "I want to know if it's got you in this state."

"I-" You started. "I feel a little ashamed," you breathed.

"It's okay, I won't judge you, (y/n). Is it about your dream?"

"No, actually," you didn't want to tell Cordelia your dream. She would know that you were eaves dropping. "It's about the seven wonders test. I didn't tell the truth about what happened to me down there."

"Oh?" Cordelia said pulling away to look at you.

"No. I'm sorry Cordelia."

"Please tell me what happened. Sometimes going to your personal hell can leave lasting scars. I don't want you to feel this way, especially since you didn't even need to complete the seven wonders. I can't help but feel like this is my fault," Cordelia said clearly holding back emotion.

"Okay," you began. "It started with me sitting in the greenhouse, and you were sitting next to me," Cordelia listened carefully. You searched her eyes for judgement, but there was none. "And, you kept insisting that I leave the Coven because I made you uncomfortable. You kept yelling at me to leave," you felt a tear roll down your cheek.

Cordelia didn't take her eyes off you. You took a deep breath.

"Then Misty came into the greenhouse. I kept begging her to tell you not to make me leave. But then," you paused.

"What happened, (y/n)," Cordelia said seriously. It scared you slightly.

"She wrapped her arms around you and told me that you two were engaged," you said avoiding eye contact with Cordelia. "And then you two kissed. And then you wouldn't stop. I kept begging to guys to let me stay," you paused.

Cordelia sighed. "How did you leave the loop?"

"I-" you looked up at Cordelia. "I told you that I didn't want to leave because- because I love you," you felt embarrassed. You had just confessed you feelings to her yesterday. It was to early for an 'I love you', and it was certainly too early a couple weeks ago.

You watched a tear fall down Cordelia's cheek. You tried to fight back tears. "I'm sorry Delia, I didn't mean-"

Cordelia cupped your cheeks and pulled you into a kiss. You two held it and Cordelia pushed your hair behind your ear. You could taste yours and Cordelia's tears.

She pulled away, but didn't take her hands off of your face.

"I love you too, (y/n)," Cordelia smiled. "And I love it when you call me Delia."

"You do?" You stuttered. You couldn't believe Cordelia just said that and you two weren't even in a relationship.

"I do," Cordelia blushed. "I always have. I'm sorry about the seven wonders," Cordelia said sadly. "If you had told me what happened that day, I would have kissed you on the spot," Cordelia laughed.

You chuckled softly.

"If there's anything I can do to prove that I love you, so that you can forget about what happen there; I would do it." Cordelia paused. She grabbed your hands and looked you in the eyes. "Will you be my girlfriend, (y/n)?"

You felt your breath leave your body. You couldn't believe what Cordelia just said.

Cordelia waited for an answer. Her face slowly moving to disappointment.

"Of course, Delia," you said and you pulled on her hands and kissed her lips.
