03: I'm sorry

1128 Words

Y/n POV:

I'm pretty sure the walk took at least 20 minutes, by the time we reached the building it had started to pour again and Lizzie opened the door for me before and had me enter before she did. She locked the door behind us and brought me to an elevator and pushed button number 13.

When we made it to her floor she held the door for me to enter first, her house was huge or I should say her apartment was huge. I turned around to face and she disappeared, into another room. I was gonna say thank you, and this is odd but I sat down on the floor, trying to take in the new surroundings.

I mean I was just brought home by a stranger, and I plan to stay here the whole night, and I don't even know how to get back to the cafe because I followed Lizzie all the way here without looking at the street signs at all. I mean the whole walk here was completely quiet. I could have asked questions the entire way but did I, no why am I so stupid sometimes?

I didn't even realize I wasn't the only person in the room until Lizzie put her hand on my shoulder. Damn it, I pulled myself into a ball under the kitchen island. I was spiraling, I didn't notice.

"Y/n honey, can you look at me please?" She spoke softly as she kneeled in front of me. I slowly looked up to see her dressed in a t-shirt and leggings. "Come on honey let's get you out from under there can so I pick you up?" I nodded not trusting my words again she prevent a full-on panic attack. How did she manage that?

"How do you do that?" She looked at me confused while she picked me up and shifted onto her hip.

"What do you mean honey, all I did was ask if I could pick you up?"

Now I'm confused, she didn't plan on stopping the spiral, what does that mean she stopped it naturally? I've never had that happen. Does that mean I can trust her or do I already trust her?

"Sweetheart do you want to change out of your clothes I picked out the smallest ones I have out of Roses's closet."

"You didn't answer my question. How did you stop my panic attack?"

"Sweatheart you were not having a panic attack you were just sitting on the floor thinking from what I saw. Do you get panic attacks often, is that something I should worry about?"

"I tend to get panic attacks if I'm in unfamiliar places or with people who I don't know"

"That's okay I have attacks like that too they are called anxiety attacks they are a little different depending on the situation like I have social anxiety and I've worked at learning when they start to happen so I can stop them from happening."

"Can I be honest with you about something?"

"Always Y/n"

"Give a moment to put the words together." She moved us into a smaller-sized bedroom and sat me down on the bed before pulling out the clothes and putting them on my lap before sitting on the ground in front of me so I was looking down at her. "My life's a mess." That is all I said before getting up and walking out of the bedroom to the main room which I believe is the living room.

She followed me out and said, "Why do you say that?"

I avoided her question and sat down on the couch. "Are you rich or something because this place is huge?"

She sat down on the couch opposite me and said. "You could say I'm rich but compared to my friends I'm poor and just starting in life." she paused before standing up again. "Do you want a tour before we go to bed so if you need to you can find me or the bathroom tonight?"

"Can you just show me to the room I'm staying in? I will find you if a need you."

"Ok sweetheart I can show you if you would please follow me."

"Ok"

We went from the living room past the bedroom she brought me to earlier to a larger-sized bedroom. When she opened the door she let me in first again what is with her and that?

I walked to the bed with the clothes in my hands I turned around before thinking about changing.

"I'm sorry if I came off rude. I'm not used to people caring about me and you just made me feel at home for the first I want to trust you but I don't want to put all of my baggage on you if I'm only staying the night, I'm sorry again. Goodnight."

"Sweetheart if you want to open up to me that's perfectly ok and if you only want to stay the night that's also fine, but what I do want to point out to you is if you need a place to stay, you are more than willing to stay here, we can figure it out as we go ok?"

"Thank you again, Lizzie, for the clothes and the bed. I will see you in the morning."

" Of course honey, if you need me tonight please don't hesitate to come and get me. Goodnight" With that she came closer to me kissed my hairline and walked out of the room closing the door behind her.

I changed, as fast as I could I just noticed I was still in my drenched clothes from the rain. I went and sat down in the window seat, and looked out upon the city realizing that this could be the start of a happier beginning.

Then again she could be doing this out of pity. Don't go there I don't need to go there.

I ended up looking over the city for a long time when I looked over at the clock it was almost 2 am. Did I fall asleep or space out? I don't care either way I'm going to try and fall asleep in bed. Before the sun comes up and I go and see Tammy in the morning.

I tried and I tried but sleep never came so I stared at the ceiling until I heard the elevator up and close and someone calls out. "Liz are you home I want to talk about what happened last night."
