Wenclair - After That Night

Chapter 12: Hugs

Wednesday's POV:

"Make a decision, it's either you stay with the gorgon who clearly doesn't make you, well the normal... HAPPY you. Or you can leave him now and have him leave you alone forever. Leaving you to find for another man."

I'm not sure why I proposed this, but it's the only way to get this blasted thing to shut up one way or another. Though the latter makes the spiders in my stomach churn again.

It does stop... when I... pinned her to the wall... but I felt something different my heart rate became faster as I went closer to her... My palms became slightly sweaty, and blood rushed to my cheeks.

Thankfully, I was able to contain myself, and move away in time before she would notice.

It seems that for these sickening spiders to stop, I must do my best to have more closure with her. Along with finding out what's with these wolves' powers.

Maybe I just want her to be my one and only friend. No one shall have her, and no one shall see such vulnerability from her. It's normal to feel that for friends... correct..?

My train of thought comes to a halt when I see Sinclair move her lips a little. She seemed confused and surprised by my proposal. She looked away and just sighed as she took her phone from my hand, rubbing it gently as she stared at the screen.

"I know that I'm not as happy as I thought I would be in our relationship... But he's loved me so much, and this may be just a small bump along our road." She says as she looks at me with a small forced smile with a pleading look.

It's as if she's asking me to just let it be. Normally, I would just dismiss this, but something urges me to react irrationally. She's settling in with someone she's not happy with. I know my parents are unbearable, but as I picture either of them in despair despite being with the one you so-called "love"... It's oddly more annoying and unbearable.

"I know I hate my parents, but sometimes their quotes ring in my head like damned hallucinations... and one of those quotes's message is that... you should never settle for less. You must settle for someone who would give your world fright and excitement. The person that you can't stand being one second apart..."

I looked at her, and she seemed surprised that I had such philosophy in mind. At my peripheral vision, even Thing is shocked by my words.

"What? I know I dislike my parents and their nauseating affection, but it doesn't mean that their words are completely meaningless... I would also say that being stuck with someone that you always fight with in a bad way and have a bad relationship would be torture... And again, not in a good way."

I'd rather not see her have that type of torture after observing her habit of crying on my shoulders. It might be soaked day and night if she doesn't fix things with the gorgon or end things with him. Either way, this will lead to Xavier possibly leaving me alone for the time being. Which benefits me in countless ways, and at the top of those ways is less interaction with him.

As I appreciate the Gorgon's effort to ruin their relationship to have Xavier avoid me for the time being. I see Enid finally trying to speak after I have stated such shocking claims to her.

Even Thing was shocked from my words. Much so that he hurriedly crawled to the table, and distracting Enid from what she was about to say. He does various hand signals, which all leads to the same idea that if I was okay.
