Siblings Stick Together (An Owl House fanfic)

Chapter 5

Willow convinced Amity to spend the day at the shack while everyone else finishes their chores. "So, what's one your mind?" questions Willow.

"Wha-OH! Nothing nothing. Just..spacing out." Willow could easily tell that Amity was lying.

"Listen, there is no one else here. You can tell me." The two sit in silence for an hour, but what felt like 5. Amity's thoughts were still racing about what might happen if she tells Willow what happened. She might not want to be friends anymore. I can't lose her again. It might be permanent this time. But, she might understand why I kept it secret. Thoughts running back and forth fighting each other to be true.

Willow, in the meantime, had gotten water from the cooler under the table. She offered a bottle to Amity who politely declined. Another 30 minutes pass and Amity is still lost in thought. You know what, I'm going to tell her. Regardless of what happens. She'll understand. It's not like she still hates me...right?

Willow was playing with Ghost and Clover then noticed Amity's expression changed. Instead of one of confusion, she had one of fear. "Willow..." Amity starts off. "There's, something I have to tell you. Something..I never wanted to tell you." Willow sat next to Amity while their palismen continued to play.

Amity spent the next 15 minutes holding back tears and explaining everything to her friend. "I understand if you wish to not be my friend anymore. I'll leave you alone and go back to the house." Just before Amity stood up, she felt a kind, and gentle hand on her shoulder.

"Am, why didn't you tell me sooner?" questions Willow.

"How could I? Ever since that Titan damned party up until a few months ago, I have been nothing but a horrible person to you. Why would you even care?" Amity's walls were breaking. Her voice sounded like she's was about burst down in tears.

"I've forgiven you for all of it." Willow responded. "And don't blame yourself, Odalia had no right to do that to you."

"Why should you forgive me?!" Amity had accidentally yelled. She almost immediately covered her mouth, bracing herself for any physical pain that may come her way.

Willow noticed this behavior, as she'd seen it multiple times before. "Amity," replies Willow with a soft voice. "..I understand why you don't want to be forgiven."

"But I-"

"Nuh uh. No buts. You need to hear this. You are a good person. You always have been. It was the influence of your so called 'mother' who tried to make you a different person."

Amity was about to burst into tears but tried to keep her composure. But the next words that she heard, broke it apart.

"You've been trying to befriend me again, and you've succeeded. But you still think there's more that needs to be done. Am I not correct?"

And with those words, the purple haired witch broke down in tears. Pulling her knees up to her chest and hiding away in her arms. Willow had remembered that same response whenever Amity felt extremely vulnerable. "I...understand this makes me seem weak." Willow heard a faint voice right in front of her. "Just, give me a minute. *hic* I'll be ok."

"You need a lot more than a minute." She replied, trying to lighten the mood. After about another hour of tears and comforting Amity, Willow spoke up again. "You feeling any better?"

"...mhm"

"Do you need more time?"

"No..I'm ok. And I mean it."

"That's good to hear."

Luz and Vee had finished their chores and went to join Willow and Amity in the shack. "Hey girls! We finished our chores and came to chill out." exclaimed Luz.

Amity lifted her head at the sound of her girlfriend's voice. She turned her head and gave a small smile, indicating her joy towards Luz's presence. "Hey Luz. Hey Vee. Took less time than expected?"

"Yup. Although it would've took less time if Vee didn't get scared of the vacuum."

"Hey! I thought we agreed to keep it secret!" Vee lightly punched Luz as they were both laughing. Willow went to join in the fun while Amity had just stayed in the same position she'd been in for the last hour.

Ghost jumped onto her owner's shoulder and snuggled into her hair."Oh! Hey Ghost. Sorry to be a downer. You can go play if you want." The cat wouldn't budge. Instead she tried getting Luz's attention. When Amity noticed this, she tried to stop her palisman, as she didn't want to bother Luz.

But alas. Her actions were unsuccessful, and Luz ended up walking towards her girlfriend and sitting next to her. "Hey. Are you ok Am?" She said, wrapping her arm around her girlfriend.

Ghost leaped off her owner's shoulder, giving a look that said "you're welcome ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ".

"Damn it Ghost!" Amity said in a low voice.

"What was that?"

"Nothing."

"So, what happened?"

"What do you mean?"

"You seem like you can't get your mind off of something."

"Oh. Just, had a talk with Willow. Ya know about...that horrid memory."

Luz instantly knew what she was talking about. "I thought you didn't want to tell her. What changed your mind."

"Let's just say Hunter convinced me after I ended up crying in the shoe section of the store. But that's another story for another time."

"...What the- you know what, I'll ask about it later. That's not important right now. What IS important is making sure you're ok."

"I-I am. I'm just, still processing."

"Ok. But, just let me know if you need to talk."

"Ok. Im still kinda tired though. Can, I just take a quick nap?"

"Of course you can. Don't worry about anything else. Just relax." And with that, Amity laid her head on Luz's shoulder and quickly fell asleep, with Ghost joining her by resting on Luz's head.

"I see Amity fell asleep. So what should we do?" says Vee.

"We could play a board game like Monopoly or cards." replies Willow.

"Anything but Monopoly. That game takes forever. How about chess? It's quiet, doesn't take as long, and helps sharpen the brain."

"Alright, game on."

As time went by, the game went on. Gus and Hunter finished the yard and joined everyone else at the shack. This time with lunch. As everyone was eating, Amity had woken up. "What did I miss?"

"Nothing much. Just Willow getting outsmarted by Vee for the tenth time." says Luz.

"She has to be cheating somehow." replied Willow. "Also, Gus and Hunter brought turkey sandwiches. You want one?"

"Yeah. That would be great." Amity no longer was feeling guilty about earlier, and joined everyone's mood. "And I want to go against Hunter next! Rematch for Eclipse Lake?"

"Oh you're so going to lose." Hunter said, excepting the challenge.

The rest of the day went on with everyone laughing and having fun. Nothing out of the ordinary, and no more tears were shed.
