Opposites attract

Trust

Wednesdays pov:

So Xavier was right about Leon. What else could be be right about? WHAT could be happening with Emma!?
-"Enid ist MEINE Freundin, MEINE! Warum könnt ihr das nicht verstehen!? Leon Aus Liebe zu GOTT, also hilf mir, ich werde dich ermorden!"
I yell. I'm breathing heavily and my face feels like it's on fire. Leon rolls his eyes.
-"Bitte Wednesday Wir wissen beide, dass das eine leere Drohung ist."
He replies. I grab him by his collar and push him to the wall.
-"Was? Glaubst du wirklich, dass du sie verdienst? Sie wird dich verlassen, sie könnte es genauso gut hinter sich bringen und sicherstellen, dass sie mit einem guten Menschen zusammen ist"
He says.

-"Lügner"
I reply, squeezing his collar tighter.
-"Willst du wetten?"
-"Wednesday, Leon, I'm sorry!"
Enid yells. Both of us stop and turn to look at her. She's in tears, sobbing terribly. I frown.
-"out"
I say, putting my head down and pointing to the door.
-"fine then cousin"
Leon replies, dusting himself off.
-"y'know...I have feelings and have always had feelings. Mine aren't some new development like yours"
He says, leaving the room. Enid's cries get louder and I sigh.

I walk over to the bed.
-"w-Wednesday"
-"scoot over"
I say.
-"h-huh?"
She says, whipping some of the tears from her face.
-"you heard me"
I say. She scoots over a bit, as best as she can without moving her foot. I sit down and turn on the TV.
-"are you ok?"
I ask. She wipes her tears away. Her face is very damp.

Enid's pov:

-"I-I'm ok, l-Leon kissed m-me"
I say, crying a bit more.
-"I-I'm sorryyy"
Wednesday nods and leans back on the bed.
-"Xavier kissed me"
She says.
-"he..he what?"
I ask, wiping my face again. She nods.
-"I pushed him off of course, as I trust you did with my cousin"
-"o-of course!"
She nods.
-"told you he and Lansel were pervs, nervige Idioten"
She mumbles.

-"why weren't you here?"
I ask, still sniffing a bit.
-"I wanted you to check up on me, why didn't you? Why didn't you help me on the stage? I know I can't always expect you to come to my rescue but I need come on Wens, I was dying out there!"
-"I had matters to attend to with Xavier, then it was time for the match. I now wish I hadn't let Lansel win. I....I have no actual excuse for why I didn't help you against Xavier...but I'm here now. And I've delt with Xavier. He's calling his dad to leave tonight but if not he'll be gone by tomorrow evening"
-"really? You got rid of him for me wens?"
She nods.
-"of course. I may not always show it but your happiness and comfort is of utmost importance to me"

Wednesday's pov:

Enid suddenly wraps me in a hug, squeezing me tightly and nuzzling into my neck. I pat her back.
-"I...I love you."
I say, lightly pushing her off.
-"and that scares me. I see how dependent my parents are on one another and how much trust they have and I just...ugh I'm scared that I can't have that with someone. Not everyone's like my parents, we're in high school, you could leave"
Enid nods.
-"I get that wens but...I'm not. I love you too and I can't even describe how much I do. I'm scared your gonna leave me too but we just have to...trust that that's not gonna happen"
She says, giving me a sympathetic smile.

Look at her...sweet, adorable, and innocent. I lean in and give her a kiss. Her lips are so soft and instantly she brings her soft, slightly cold, hands to my face. Suddenly I open my eyes and pull away.
-"what's wrong wens?"
-"I didn't wash my mouth out. I just kissed you with the same lips Xavier kissed Ugh"
I say in disgust, sticking my tongue out. She laughs.
-"yeahhh that is kinda gross"
She says, jokingly.
-"here, let's fix that"
She says, pulling me into another kiss.

Xavier's pov:

-"uh huh, yeah I get it dad. No they're not gonna press charges! Right. Mhm. Thank youuu. Yeah I-"
Suddenly there's a tap on my shoulder. It's Wednesday's aunt.
-"hold on, give me a sec. I'll call ya back"
I say, hanging up the phone.
-"hello ma'am"
-"hello Xavier"
She says with a big smile.
-"it's a shame your leaving so soon"
-"yeah..."
-"here"
She says, handing me a light gray card. I take it and examine it briefly.
-"Frump businesses?"
I ask. She nods.

-"your 17 right?"
She asks.
-"16"
I correct. She shrugs.
-"we'll just lie then. I'd like to invite you to join my company"
-"your company?"
-"yes."
She says eagerly.
-"I'd like to keep you in the family as best I can. Wednesday's young, she doesn't know what she's doing"
Agreed. I nod and shake her hand.
-"great! My people will be in touch, enjoy your holidays Mr. Thorpe"
