Love is love (a lumity story)

Chapter 4: Sleepover

(Amity's POV)

It was quiet as Luz and I walked to her house. It isn't the awkward kind of quiet, it is the kind of quiet that happens when you are just enjoying each other presents. That is exactly what Luz and I are doing: Just existing.

I look at her and note her eyes are closed. she opened them and looked at the sky, smiling. then she looks at me and grins that stupid grin. for some reason, I blush.

"You know Hermosa," She says, "you next time you die your hair, you should die it purple"

"What," I pretend to be offended, "you don't like it green?"

"No, no, no," Luz says, blushing, "I think you would look cuter with purple hair."

"oh really."

"honestly Hermosa," Luz says, putting her hands up.

"Okay, I'll die it purple Luzzy."

Luz stops and blushes at the pet name. I didn't mean to call her "Luzzy," it just came out. She has been calling me "Hermosa" since we met and refuses to tell me what it means. So it was time for me to come up with one for her. I was not expecting it to be so sudden.

"What did you call me?" she asks blushing more.

"I called you 'Luzzy'," I felt my face go hot, "I can stop if you don't-"

"I love it Amity. You can call me whatever you want."

We laugh as we continue to walk to Luz's house.

(Luz's POV)

I hate my brain. The entire walk to my house it would not shut up about how cute Amity is. I'm starting to think that I like her. What a terrifying thought. The last time I had a crush on someone didn't go so well...

(Flashback sounds)

*WARNING, PHYSICAL ABUSE IS COMING*

There he is, Glen, the most popular boy in school. He was so cute. I needed to ask him out. I hope he doesn't hate me for my wings like everyone else, I liked him.

he was alone at his locker when I found him after school. I walk up behind him and tap him on the shoulder.

"What do you want," He said when he turned around.

All my confidence left me, "I-I wanted to know if you w-wanted to go out with me."

He looked at me with a look of disgust, "Who would want to date a dumbfuck like you? No, I will not go out with you."

I ran away as his friends approached us.

The next day was when my life turned into a burning pile of shit. Throughout the entire day, everyone tripped me and bumped into me. then the worst of it all came at the end of the day.

"Hey bitch," Glen yelled, "you still want to go out with me?"

"i-if you want to."

"Well, I don't. And to teach you a lesson..."

He made a spell circle and fire shot at me. it caught me by surprise, so I couldn't evade it. the heat surrounded me and continued to burn off my feathers. I cried for him to stop, but he didn't until almost all of my feathers were gone and I had a second-degree burn. 

*END OF TRIGGER*

(end of flashback sounds)

I wrapped my good wing around me and rubbed it, feeling the feathers. Amity looks at me, concerned, but then saw my face and could probably tell I was having a bad flashback. She got up close to me and wiped away a tear. She hugs me as I begin to cry.
