Our Tied Hands

Feelings Are Hard

  A/N: in this chapter, you read that Wednesday and Enid are more alike than you think, so what you see toward the end is only there because they are very similar.

                        Enid's POV:
    
     I was so excited to talk to Wednesday again. I haven't seen her in years and I have changed since then, so you'd think she did too. And did she! All she wears is black now and she's very cold and it's weird because she used to be just like me! (<--Here is what I was talking abt) I guess she is just going through a goth phase or something. I am wondering why she blamed me for saying that though. I could never make someone sad. That would make me sad! I don't want to be her enemy because she is scary now. I want her to get back to the dorm so I can ask her a question, but it's been a while since classes ended and I'm starting to get worried.

                      time skip~2hrs

     Wednesday hasn't gotten to our dorm yet and I'm seriously getting worried now. OH WAIT WEDNESDAY IS HERE!!  I try to hug her, but she pushes me off. "Hi, Wednesday! How was your day? Why did it take so long for you to get here? What classes did you get? Do you like it here?!"
"I hate it here, my day was terrible, I got lost, I got Algebra with Miss Hampton, Science with Miss Thornhill, Social Studies With Mr. Thorpe, English With Mrs. Gragg, And Fencing with Mr. Barclay." I don't have any classes with her Besides Science. It was weird that I wanted to be in all of her classes. I just want to be with her all of the time. I've never felt that before.

"Enid," Wednesday says. OH CRAP "What?-huh?" "You were staring at me." oh no. I felt my face getting red. No Enid no no no stop blushing stop stop stop! "I'm sorry Wednesday I was just lost in thought." I'm gonna die of embarrassment. "Why is your side of the room so colorful?" oh crap I don't want to tell anybody to know!- "are you gay?" Wednesday asks and I'm internally freaking out! I'm gonna tell her! "No, I'm not gay." "oh okay I just wanted t-" I cut her off "-but I am trans" I close my eyes and inhale sharply. I don't know what she is going to do. That is when I feel a pair of arms wrap around me. OH MY FROCKING GOD SHE IS HUGGING ME!!! I'M GOING TO EXPLODE! I hug her back and rest my head on her shoulder. We stay like that for a while, until she pulls away. "Listen, it's okay. I am agender. Your secret is safe with me." Wednesday says. Oh my god, she hated me 5 minutes ago and now she is comforting me?! "Wednesday? What are your pronouns?" "They/them" oh lord I have been using the wrong pronouns for them this whole time I feel bad. "Okay, thank you for telling me. It means a lot." Maybe they will spend more time with me now.

    "Since you asked a question about me, I'm going to ask one about you!" I say. They look into my eyes and behind those
Black eyes, I see fear. "Why do you wear black all of the time?" they waited a little bit, and I could see that they were asking themself the same question. "Because it's intimidating. It is mysterious and it makes people nervous around me. During the bullying, if the bullies were intimidated, they wouldn't mess with me." I felt really bad for them. "I didn't tell her those things y'know," I said, my voice filled with sorrow.  Wednesday looks at me and at that moment, a tear falls from my eye. "Enid, I want to believe you, but I don't know who else would say that." I look over at my yellow bedsheets and sit on my bed. Wednesday pauses for a moment and sits next to me. "I'm sorry Enid." This is where I break down. I start sobbing and bury my face in my hands.
    
                    Wednesdays POV:

    I see Enid break down in front of me. I immediately know she did not say those things about me. I know that she needs comfort and I know talking to her won't help. I grab her hands and pull them away from her face. She looks up from her hands and I study her face. I feel bad for the poor girl. Her face is all red and her eyes are also red and puffy. I wipe the tears that are trailing down her face and pull her into a hug. Almost right away she starts sobbing and shaking in my arms. I rub her back and tell her that it will be okay. After a while, this starts to get uncomfortable so I pull her into my lap. I feel my face get hot at first and I scold myself internally.

                      No one's POV:

    After a while, Enid stops shaking and crying and is just sitting in Wednesday's arms. Wednesday scoots over to Enid's headboard and leans against it. Enid can hear Wednesday's heartbeat, and it's comforting to her. A couple of minutes later Wednesday can feel Enid fall asleep and they have to admit, they thought it was cute.

                 ~Time skip 45mins~

                  Wednesday's POV:

        I look over at the clock to see that it's 6:55 pm and dinner starts at 7 pm. "Enid, wake up," I say. She slowly gets off of me and fixes her hair. I get off of her bed at start walking toward the cafeteria. I get in a line and collect my food. I sit down at a random table and start to eat my dinner when I hear "Hi roomie! Can I sit here?!" Enid. She was napping not long ago and now she is full of excitement again. "Yes, you can."  "Yay! Thanks Wends!" What did she just call me?! "Don't call me that" "okayyyyyy!" I finish eating at around 7:10. I get up and walk to our dorm and on the way, I see Enid catch up and start walking next to me. She starts apologizing for the werewolves acting crazy because it would be a full moon tomorrow night. We get to the dorm and I lay in my bed. "Are you going to sleep already?" "Yes. It has been a long day." I feel myself slowly start to drift off to sleep.

A/N: okay now that you are finished let me explain. Wednesday and Enid used to be friends but because of a lie they stopped and but now they are friends again. jeezus that was a run on sentence. Wednesday is really just like Enid in this story and that is why they are so touchy. Thanks for reading! have a good day!
