Wednesday (Male Wednesday x female reader)

Woe What a Night Part 3

Wednesday's POV:

I am an idiot.

She is my priority, but I can't let her know that.

Caring for her made me weak, hurting her like this was for the best... so why does it feel as if my heart is on fire?

I feel as if the air around me has turned into liquid nitrogen. It feels colder without her, not the good kind of cold that gives you frostbite, but the bad kind that makes your chest burn as if you are drowning with no hope of survival.

I will make it up to her. She'll forgive me. We will figure things out, just as soon as I get the information from Xaviera.

(Y/n)'s POV: The Next Day

I wake up in Alder's bed, and her in mine.

I remember rushing back to our dorm and sulking in the shower.

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

The Night before:

After sitting under the inferno of hot water, Alder knocks on the door letting me know I have been in for nearly 45 minutes.

"(Y/n)? Are you okay?" She asks once I have made my way out in my (f/c) pajamas, and my hair wrapped in a towel.

"I'm fine," I say numbly, knowing that I truly wasn't. I knew I wasn't okay, but I knew I would be tomorrow.

I turn to look at her and I notice that she has tears in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" I ask walking to her bed and wrapping my arm around her shoulder.

"Edward asked me on a date at Outreach Day, we were supposed to meet behind the greenhouses, but when I was in the shower, the towel in front of the mirror fell. I accidentally stoned myself, and now Edward won't even look at me!" She wails in my arms.

"And I'm not upset at the fact that the date didn't happen, I'm upset because I feel like I've lost one of the most important people in my life." She whimpers.

"Alder, have you tried explaining what happened?" I ask while rubbing her back.

"No, I was too embarrassed. I just don't want to lose him as a friend. I really like him, what if he never wants to see me again, or talk to me?"

"Edward can be a tad overdramatic about things, you need to talk to him and explain."

She wipes her tears and sits up.

"Okay, you're right. I will talk to him tomorrow." She says smiling at me, "You're the best (y/n). Thank you, roomie." She says hugging me.

"Always," I say hugging her back.

"We need to go dress shopping tomorrow." She grabs my shoulders excitedly.

I feel my heart drop. "I don't think I'm going Alder, I don't have a date," I say looking down.

"What do you mean? You have Wednesday, your boyfriend, remember?" She says giggling slightly.

"No, no I don't," I say, as the immense feeling of hurt and betrayal rushes over me. "He asked Xaviera to the dance," I say finally letting my unshed tears fall.

She gasps and covers her mouth with her hands.

"Why would he do that?" She asks confused.

"We were sneaking around her shed, I thought just trying to find information when she came back. I hid, but she caught him and started hinting that he wanted to ask her to the dance. And he did. He said it was to get information. I told him when I moved up on his list of priorities to let me know." I say finally allowing myself to feel all the pain.
