Falling For You... Both

Chapter 1.

Y/n's Pov

It was around 10:00 pm and I was at my best friend's house April O'Neil "Girl I know I've asked this like a million times but why don't we ever go to your house? we've known each other for six months now I mean come on I haven't even met your parents yet"

I wanted to tell April why I really did,

but I didn't want to be a burden to her. I knew if I told her that I worked 2 jobs and still couldn't afford a place to stay and since I didn't have parents, she would try to take care of me and do whatever she could to help. It was one of the things I loved about her, but I knew I could take care of myself. I was pretty tough, and she knew that besides I didn't want to do that to her she had enough on her plate already with trying to keep this new job 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣 April was always getting fired. It was like her special talent

That and also getting into an absurd amount of trouble with all the trouble this girl brought it was hard to keep up with her. Whether she was searching for an exciting new story to write about or even just going for a stroll to get some pizza she would always get caught up in some sort of fight. leading to me always having to save her from it, I didn't mind though it was actually quite fun. When I was a kid, I took boxing classes and was really good at it, so it made protecting her pretty easy for me it was also good practice. I was even better at just fighting because of all the times I had to save her.

"uuuhhh Helloooo earth to Y/n anyone there?" April snapped her fingers in front of my face as she pulled me back to reality "uh wha?" I said with a confused look on my face. "OH right sorry... like I said before April it's complicated." If I knew April and I think I did, that answer wasn't going to do it for her. We never saw my parents or my house ever since we met and she was SO DONE with my excuses. April rolled her eyes "if you don't tell me right now I will not hesitate to throw this pillow at your face." April picked up the pillow from her bed and aimed it at me "𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡~" I said with a smirk on my face she threw the pillow at me and soon it became an almost half and hour pillow fight.

"𝐎𝐊 𝐎𝐊 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐂𝐄 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐂𝐄," I said obviously I let her win but I was getting tired and wanted a break.

"HA you lose April O'Neil 1 Y/n Y/l/n 0" I rolled my eyes "yeah yeah yeah whatever". "You know since I won that means you have to tell meeeee". April said almost singing while she spoke I thought about it "𝘐'𝘮 𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘐'𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘯 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸"

I looked at her and sighed." ok FINE I'll tell you" "YES" April yelled probably a little louder than she should have."BUT" I said "UGH nooo not but" April whined I laughed a bit "I'll tell you I swear but only after I get off work tomorrow deal?" April thought about it for a minute and then said "ok fine I guess I can wait a little longer... but annyywayys what do ya want to do now." I thought about it for a moment and then shot my head up, eyes beaming. "Oh god, I know that look" April said while facepalming. "PLEAAAAAAASEEEE you know it's my favorite movie" I knew April loved the movie just not as much as I did but she loved to watch it with me. Just to see that look of pure happiness on my face " alright fine" I stood up doing a small victory dance "oh yeah Nightmare Before Christmas time baby." April rolled her eyes at me and put on the movie as we were watching. April started to doze off halfway through it I noticed but watched the rest of the movie by the time it ended she was fast asleep I put a blanket over her "Goodnight" I whispered and headed to the air mattress April had set up for me

I lay in bed not able to sleep as usual voices in my head were keeping me up saying how I'll fail at protecting April one day, that she actually hates me, that I'm a psychopath. Now that last one the voices might not have been so wrong about. I tried to sleep but it was useless and I didn't have my phone to listen to music, which always helped block the voices. well I mean I did have my phone it was just way too close to April and I didn't want to wake her.

I just sat there all night until about 6:30 in the morning and April had woken up and started yawning hair a mess and stretching."RisE AnD ShinnEEE sleepy head" I said in a singing voice

"NoO I hate mornings, I don't wanna get uppp." "Well, you're going to have to wake up some time because you also have work today," I said while heading to her bathroom to brush my teeth and get ready I heard her groan. As I kept brushing my teeth, voices were still ringing in my head, so when I was done I went to get my phone and headphones and put one in and left the other out so I would still be able to hear April.

she looked a bit confused staring at me while she got off her bed "wait you didn't have your phone I thought that you couldn't sleep without it because... y'know?" I sighed April knew that I had voices in my head, I had told her a long time ago yet she still stuck with me. even though I thought I was a bit crazy and even though other people would think I'm crazy she stayed with me because she always said being crazy is a good thing and that I was still a great person. "Yeah I can't sleep without it I stayed up all night but I'm ok" I picked the playlist I wanted to listen to and put my phone in my pocket. April hugged me "I really hope you are ok". She said with a soft and calm voice I nodded and said " well we should get ready for work" "uGhH work" April complained she went to brush her teeth and take a shower while I was just watching some stuff on my phone.

She came out of the bathroom ready for the day posing like a superhero. "April O'Neil is ready for another day of AwESomeness." I rolled my eyes "yeah well it better not be to 𝙖𝙬𝙚𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚, because if I have to save you one more time you have to buy me pizza." I joked even though April knew I wasn't serious and that I actually liked fighting. she scoffed and I went into the bathroom to fully get ready for the day this time. I came out and saw April sitting on her bed and I looked at the time 8:00 am "I have to be at work in one hour." I mumbled to myself.

when April's mother knocked on the door."Girl's breakfast is ready." "Ok thanks, mom." April and I both headed downstairs to eat and boy was Mrs. O'Neil good at cooking. I never really ate because well I only really ate when necessary and that was it, maybe going out to get pizza if I really needed it I barely had home-cooked meals. I noticed it was 8:20 AM. I finished my food and placed the dishes in the sink and got my bag. "bye April bye Mrs. O'Neil thank you for having me, I had a great time." "you're welcome anytime dear we love having you over," April said bye as well and I headed out the door looking at my father's beautiful motorcycle that was right outside. Even though I had no place to live, I still had my motorcycle it was the only thing my parents left me that I actually got since my aunt didn't want it when she kicked me out. It still looked amazing and I cherished it with all my heart, it being the only thing I had left of them really. I got on kicked up the kickstand and was on my way to work with my headphones in. I started singing the song that was playing

"𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘮𝘦?

𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘶𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘮𝘦?

𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨?

𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸?

𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯'𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘦?

𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦?

𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘴𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘰 𝘸𝘦 𝘨𝘰?"
