Enchanted

Chapter 8

                                 Felix's POV
"Y-you were?"

"We moved here right after my dad died. I understand you feeling like you don't belong here. But...it's your first day. I promise...it'll get better. It might take a while but...I promise it does. Okay? I just need you to listen to me and trust me on this."

"O-okay..."

"If you ever need me...I will not hesitate to find you. I'll run down here."

"Won't you get in trouble?"

"I don't care about getting in trouble. You are more important."

I grabbed the back of her head and pulled her closer to me. I pressed our foreheads together.

"It'll be okay. I'll be right here to support you."

The door opened.

"It's time for you to head back to class Felix."

"Remember what I told you."

"I-I love you."

"I love you too. I love you so much. I'll meet you by your locker."

I kissed the side of her head. I hugged her really quickly. I wiped a tear away then got up.

"Thank you Mrs. Prescott. Thank you so much. I've been worried about her all day. I think...she just needed to see me and have a conversation about this in private."

"You're very welcome."

"You can always call me down if she needs me. I won't mind."

"You are such a great person."

"Thanks. I try."

I turned around. Onix's head was down again. I turned around and made my way back to class. I walked in and everyone looked at me.

"What? What did I do? I don't remember doing anything."

"You came back to class. You're not ditching."

"Oh...well...Onix needed to talk to me in private. She's not having a good first day."

I sat back down and went back to doing what I was doing. I met Onix at her locker after school. She still seemed upset.

"Sweetheart...you don't feel any better?"

She shrugged.

"You made me feel better though."

"Good. I'm glad. Let's go get the girls."

We went to my car and got in. Onix put her head on the window. I picked her hand up and started holding it. I felt her interlock our fingers. I picked her hand up and kissed it.

"You're okay my dear. You're okay. You can hook your phone up to the car. You can play whatever music...you want. I won't mind."

"D-does that mean...I can play Taylor Swift?"

I nodded.

"I like her music too. It's okay. You can play whatever Taylor Swift songs you want."

At a red light, I hooked her phone up to the car. She started playing music. I started holding her hand again. I interlocked our fingers. She started singing along with the radio.

I kissed her hand again. I looked at her and saw her blush.

A song that resembles us...

Started playing.

Onix started smiling again.

"There's my happy baby."

We got to the elementary school and got out of the car. We waited for the girls come out. They saw us and ran up to us.

"Yay!"

"You're both here!"

Onix's POV
I felt someone carrying me. I opened my eyes and looked up. I saw Felix was carrying me.

"F-Felix?"

He looked at me.

"Hi. You fell asleep in my car."

"I-I did?"

"Yeah. I'm bringing you to your room."

He brought me to my room and I fell asleep as soon as he put me on my bed.

I woke up the next day. I didn't feel like getting out of bed.

"Aunt Nix? Can you please get up?"

A 5 year old convinced me to get out of bed. I dragged myself to Makayla's car. I dragged myself into school. I found Felix and walked up to him. He was leaning up against his locker and his friends were surrounding him.

He picked his head up and slid his phone back into his pocket.

"There you are. I got worried."

"I'm sorry. I over slept. And no. I don't feel any better."

"Shit...I was worried about that too."

"I'll try to make it through the day. I can't promise anything."

"I'll take it. It's better than nothing."
