You're Joking Right?

Let's go

We just lay there in silence, staring at each other. I've gone too deep and I know it but I can't take it back at this point. I want to run away and hide but there's not really anywhere I can go. "I don't know what to say" she confesses and I nod, "I know" I say simply. "But I do know this. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me y/n. You make me laugh even when I don't want to, you know how to loosen me up a little. And I never wanna lose you, EVER. I just didn't think you'd wanna... ya know... since you're so young" she says quietly.

"I would literally give up any and everything for you" I whisper and a tear rolls down her cheek. "I know. It's one of the things I love and hate the most about you. I don't want you to give up things that you really want for me. It'll just end up in you resenting me" she sighs and sits up. "Xandra. I don't know how else you want me to say it. I'm in love with you and I know that maybe I'm young or whatever. But I want to be with you, no matter what. I know what it means, that I have to compromise and so will you. But that's what any relationship is" I say.

"And I really think we can make it work" I whisper. She nods in agreement and we just lay back down. We're both kind of drunk and very tired so we instantly go to sleep.

*next morning*

I wake up and Xandra is gone, I walk downstairs and there's just a note.

I went out to clear my head a bit. Don't worry, I'll be home soon and also don't call. I really just need some time to myself  for a little while"
-Xandra

I don't really know what to make of it but I feel a little... angry? Why did she just leave like that without saying anything? And then left this vague ass note. I feel tears begin to fill in my eyes and I quickly wipe them away before they can even fall. Then I did something stupid, something I knew I would regret. But in this moment I really didn't care about any of it. I really didn't want to be here when she got back and I could only think of one place I could go. So I called the one person who could get me away from here.

Me: Cordelia?
Cordelia: I was wondering when you'd call
Me: Listen don't be a smart ass right now. I need you
Cordelia: Sorry I wasn't trying to... what's up sweetheart?
Me: I need you to come get me
Cordelia: From where?
Me: The house
Cordelia: Did you fight with Xandra or something?
Me: No... she knows I'm going I just wanna learn at the academy
Cordelia: Oh ok.

I know I shouldn't have lied but I don't feel like explaining at the moment. Within a few seconds she was standing in front of me with my bags. "I packed your stuff too. Cute panties" she says cheekily. I roll my eyes and she helps me teleport back to what I assume is the coven. We arrive and my eyes quickly take in my surroundings, it's so beautiful here. Cordelia takes me up to a room before she introduces me to the girls.

They're all nice except for Madison but that's ok because I can be bitchy too. I think we'll get along since I seem like the only person that can match her energy. We have dinner together and then I go up to my room and get ready for bed. As I lay down there's a knock on my door, "come in" I say quietly. "Hey sugar plum" Cordelia says and I giggle at her little nickname. "What's up?" I say as she walks over sitting on the edge of my bed. "Tell me about what's going on... between you and Xandra" she says softly.

"I don't wanna talk about it" I say trying to turn over but she grabs my wrist and stops me. "It'll feel better if you let it out" she says and I sigh reluctantly. "I told her I loved her and she ran. Left a note saying not to call but she'd be back" I say quickly and she winces. "Damn that's gotta hurt. Sorry honey, that's just what Xandra does... but it's still shitty. She's going to be worried when she gets back if you didn't leave a note though" she says and I roll my eyes.

"I don't care Delia" I say and she nods, "I know but do you really wanna be like that?" She asks rhetorically and I shake my head. "Just shoot her a quick text ok? Nothing big" she says and I nod knowing there's no point in arguing. She pats my leg and gets up saying goodnight before leaving the room. I pull out my phone and go to her contact about to type a message when it shows that she's typing.

I go out of the chat and let her finish since my read receipts are on. After 3 minutes I go back to see what she's written.

Xan🥲: hey... where are you? I got your fav food

Now I feel really bad because I thought she was upset with me or something. What am I supposed to say? Should I lie?

Me: I'm at the academy

It doesn't even take her a minute to respond.

Xan🥲: why?
Me: idk
Xan🥲: come home. Now
Home?
Me: I think I should stay here awhile

She doesn't respond and I figure she's blocked me so I turn over and try to sleep. Just before I'm about to drift off I hear a noise downstairs. I brush it off as one of the girls but before I can even close my eyes again my door swings open. I jolt up and turn in the direction of the door when I see Xandra standing there. "Get up. You're coming with me" she says and I just stare at her.
