Luz's POV:

The next 3 days at the dorm were almost in complete silence. Luz and Willow wouldn't look at each other for more than 3 seconds at a time. Luz wanted to talk to her, but she just didn't know how to begin. How to start it up. She was still annoyed by it and hurt.

It didn't seem like Willow had any plans do so either, she was the same. Did she even care? And things with Amity have been stale as well. Luz has caught Amity's icon peering through at the chat (yk how with snapchat), so it wasn't like she didn't want to speak.

Luz wants to speak to Amity, try and get it out of the way, get things back to normal. The awkwardness has been driving her to insanity.

First of all; she needs to speak with Willow. But how?

Luz gave a short sigh and flipped her pillow to the cold side. Willow was out, she's always out. Catching Willow free is like finding a fossil, other than dead early morning on a Sunday.

It was pretty late, the world was asleep. Luz had her bed-side lamp turned on and was reading manga. Lately, she's been addicted to reading slice of life romantic comedies. Her life seems to be a romantic comedy.

Luz rubbed her forehead and groaned, before being startled by the sounds of keys. It was late - the only logical explanation was that Willow was back. Shit. Pretend to be asleep.

What the fuck why is she pretending to sleep? Shouldn't she be trying to talk to her? God why is she so difficult.

"Luz..?" Willow called, closing the door and walking to Luz's room.

No response.

"Luz? A-Are you awake?" Willow repeated, with a slight stutter.

No response.

"If you are." Willow began. "I'm sorry." Willow added.

"Say that again." Luz responded. (real cliche ik)

Willow looked over at Luz's laying body - of course she would be awake. Willow took a deep breath, eyes scattered and mind racing.

"I'm sorry." Willow said again, looking to the side.

"For what?" Luz asked.

"For you know what." Willow said.

"I don't." Luz responded coldly. She wasn't getting a half assed apology.

"I'm sorry. Truly. It was stupid - really stupid." Willow started. "Stupid of me to lose my temper at Amity. Stupid of me to disregard you and your feelings. Stupid of me to try and ruin what you have been working hard for. Stupid and selfish."

"Yeah. It was." Luz responded at last.

"I'll never do that again to you." Willow said.

"Truthfully, it's already been done. That dinner went terribly." Luz responded.

"Me and Amity. We talked it over afterwards." Willow said.

Luz's eyes widened. Seriously? Don't they hate eachothers guts?

"Really?" Luz asked.

"Yeah. We don't like each other - but we'll try to get along." Willow replied. "Slowly." She added.

"Thanks. But this doesn't fix everything." Luz said.

"I know." Willow responded.

"It still hurt." Luz quietly said.

Willow only looked at Luz. She didn't know how to respond, what to do or what to say. Of course it wouldn't be that easy for everything to just fix.

"Of course it did. I know. And I'm-." Willow began. She kept on opening her mouth, as if she was looking for the words, the words in her reach but just narrowly escaping. Her eyes changing focus.
