Love is love (a lumity story)

Chapter 2: Mom

(Luz POV)

I meet Amity at the front of the doors. She is standing off to the side with a grin on her face.

"You look happy," I say.

"Oh, I am thrilled."

"Why?"

"I just used my scroll to see if I could go to your house after school, AND SHE SAID YES."

"Slay, so why does this make you happy?"

This question visibly makes Amity upset. Her shoulders as she grabs her left elbow. Her face freezes with a pained expression.

"You ok?"

"I'm fine," She gives me a fake smile.

  I decided to drop it as it was clear that it upset her. I hold her hand and drag her in the direction of my house. As we walked, Amity seemed to be getting happier I explained that King, my little brother, would probably want all her attention. She even giggled when I told her that King thought that he was the "king of Demons"

Then I noticed that we were still holding hands. I blushed and almost pulled my hand away, but then I realized how nice Amity's hand felt in mine. She looked down at our hands and then looked me in the face, her long green hair blowing in the wind. She smiled, a real one this time.

"Luz, I know we just met this morning, but I am happy to be here with you"

I turn into a tomato.

(Time skip, me lazy)

(Amity's POV)

When we get to Luz's house, I immediately feel a fuzzy thing attack to my leg. 

"Who are you?" asks a small demon with black fur and a skull with horns for a head.

"I'm Amity, Luz's friend."

His eyes widen and he stops his sad but brave attempt to trip me, "Luz has friends?"

"We meet today King, so you're not missing any updates," Luz explains to him, then she looks at me. "This is King, I already told you about him. He likes it when I give him details about my life."

"You told her about me?" King said with a glimmer in his eyes. "Good, because I would have had my army eliminate both of you."

We both laugh and King begins to scream as Luz picks him up. we walk to the kitchen, where I see two witches making dinner and listening to some human music:

(Holiday by Green Day)

"Mom, Ren, this is Amity," Luz says, "Amity, this is Eda and Rain."

Eda had gray hair and gold eyes, She's wearing a red dress and red high heels. Rain had blue hair and glasses. They wearing a T-shirt and black pants.

"LUZ MADE A FRIEND," says King as we walk into the kitchen.

"We can tell," says Rain as they turn off the stove. "Nice to meet you Amity, dinner is ready?"

"But my mom-"

"Kid, you just got here," Eda says, "And my rule is that you have to eat before you go."

"Plus, you just got here," Luz adds with a big grin.

"Okay, fine. I will stay for dinner," I say, matching Luz's smile.

(Luz's POV)

As we sit down for dinner, Ren tells us about a fight they saw in the market today. Mom seemed more interested in the violent parts. She said things like "Was there blood on the ground?" and "Did anyone's eye come out?" Amity seemed to be more into complaining about one of the fighter's fighting skills. 

As I watch her, I see notes that her caff was burnt. why hadn't I noticed that before? Was she trying to hide it? How did she get it? 

"Amity," Ren says, "tell us about your home."

"Um," Amity grunted, visibly tensing.

"You okay?" I ask.

"Yes," Amity says, putting on a smile, "I live with my mom, and only her because my dad is dead and my twin siblings, Ed and Em are in college."

"What do you do for fun?" asks Mom.

"I read a lot, I don't have many hobbies." She tucks her green hair behind her ear.

"What do you like to read?"

"The Good Witch Azora mostly."

"Oh my fucking Titan, me two." I giggle

"WHAT," Amity yells with excitement.

We start blabbering about our favorite book. Mom and Ren smile at each other, glad I made a friend. All is perfect. Until a knock comes at the door.

(Amity's POV)

BAM BAM BAM

Three short, loud knocks. Mom is here. No, please, I can't have this ruined. I need Luz and her parents to protect me from Mom. 

But of course, Luz gets up and answers the door. I haven't known her for long, But she seems to be the kind of person to be to cereus for her own good.

(that's me 😁)

I see my mom's face, and can tell that she will do a lot worse them fire when we get home. When my mom wants something, she will get it. And right now, she wants me.

"Hi, I am Odalia Blight, Amity's mom, I would like my daughter in my position now."

  "She can walk home," says Luz, clearly not liking her.

"She needs to come with me."

"Why?"

"I don't need to EXPLAIN ANYTHING TO YOU," She sees me. "AMITY, COME HERE NOW."

I get up and walk to the door, "Bye Luz."

"Your leaving,"

I give her a look and hope she got the message, my mom is not someone you want to mess with.

(time skip)

*WARNING, PHYSICAL ABUSE FROM PARENTS IS COMING UP *

Pain, all I feel is pain. My Mother whips me again and again with her firey whip. As soon as we got home, she tore off my shirt and began to whip me. I tried to run, but at some point I quit. I lie on the floor as she whips me harder and harder. I can't scream, because my thought gave out about 15 minutes ago. She stops and gets in my face.

"I hope this taught you a lesson," She says, then leaves me on the floor, my back bleeding from the wounds. I lie on the floor for about an hour before dragging my bloody self into my bed.

*End of trigger *

(Luz's POV)

The next day, I sat in front of Amity's house, waiting for her to come out. I had some questions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Words: 999

I wonder what those questions are :)

But side note, This was not a happy chapter. Amity's situation will get better, I promise.

Stay safe my children (I adopted you all when you were not looking)

I love you all❤🧡💛💚💙💜
