Ivy POV
"Yes any snack." She's bribing me with snacks and I can never pass up snack but look at me I'm a freaking pig and I have stomach rolls and my face is fat and stuff.
"No snack." She looks at me strangely considering I've never turned down a snack in my life. "And no movies I'll just tell you, but then two have to go. Jacob and Cameron bye." They each let out a groan and left me and Aaliyah in the dorm by ourselves.
"Okay don't say nothing just please listen because I may stop to think and I might cry. If I stop for too long then you say something because then I spaced out in a memory and I hate doing that." She nodded and I rolled my eyes and looked at her.
"I need a vocal answer Aaliyah not no dang nod."
"Yes now please I'm listening."
"Okay last night I had a dream about my mom and the reason why I was crying in my sleep is because my mom died because of my father." She looked at me with a blank expression but her eyes say everything I need to know.
"Well she committed suicide because my father was stalking her and wouldn't let her leave him and he abused her and raped her so she got tired and committed suicide. Leaving me and my brother with her." She tilted her head and looked at me. My eyes were burning by how long I was holding back the tears and I just let them fall.
"I'm in pain but I hide it by being happy and hyper and cheerful but really I'm hurt and broken and bruised and shattered. I am telling you this because I trust you and even though you can be a grumpy person you make me happy and I come to this dorm and I realize I'm not alone." She gives a little smile but then it leaves.
"That kiss that happened last night was the best thing that had happened to me in years and I know I apologized for doing it as if it was a mistake but it wasn't and I honestly loved it and I know it's been only what three to four days since we've known each other but I actually like you....like a lot and I don't know if you feel the same." My breathing started to go a quicker pace and I started to hyperventilate and panic.
"And I'm panicking right now because I just told you that I like you and I'm also insecure about a lot of things which is why half of your black shirts are on my side and I-." She cut me off by kissing me.
She pulled me onto her lap so now that I'm straddling her. She pulls away and looks at me and wipes the tears that had fallen. I began to bite my thumb and look at her while her eyes examined every piece of me.
"Your beautiful short person and I do like you back but also I'm here if you want to talk." I nodded and laid my head in the crook of her neck.
"Thank you grumpy." I said but it sounded muffled.
"Your welcome short person." I let out a chuckle and lifted my head up to meet her hazel eyes.
"Sooo grumpy likes me?" I tilt my head to the side as she chuckles.
"Yes grumpy likes you."
"And here I thought you were a grouch, but your a lovey grouch." She pushes me off her lap while I'm laughing.
"You know it's not to late to catch math class." She shakes her head and lays on her bed under the covers.
"Fuck math." I chuckle and roll over on my bed and I find myself falling asleep.
Hour later
Im in the bathroom looking myself in the mirror.
"Jeez Ivy you cried again." I whispered to myself while shaking my head and looked up at myself just examining myself. Rubbing my thumb over my lip where Aaliyah kissed me...
I rubbed over the scars on my body and traced each direction they went thinking of why I did this to myself.
Dreams are a pain.
I walked out the bathroom and saw Aaliyah still sleeping so my small self decided to crawl in the little space beside her trying not to cry over the memories.
"If you wanted to sleep with me all you had to do was ask." I rolled my eyes and turned over to where my face was buried in her torso.
"Shut it grumpy."
