Runners (Teresa x Y/N) [Book 1]

22 - I love you..

Y/N Pov

I sat up after waking up from falling asleep, "Do you feel better?" Teresa asked me, adjusting so she was sitting up from the hammock, I looked over at her nodding my head slowly, "Yeah I do.." I say, she gives me that warm smile she has "That's good" she says standing up moving over to the couch taking a seat herself, I yawn and also stretch shuffling over creating more space for her.

"You had a panic attack last night, do you want to talk about it?" she asks, "No thanks..  don't want to think about it" I say she nods as I give a half smile to her, "Of course, we don't have to" she says soft toned, we sit silent for a moment seeing the boys below chasing each other with sticks, we suddenly laugh.

She really does have a cute laugh though, Wait? what? why did I think that? I shake the thought out of my head as she opened the window letting air into the room, we both enter the deck watching the sun disappear behind the wall, I sigh and she understands why almost instantly.

"I see you also get the feeling of wanting to go out there, and know what is beyond these stone walls, but we know we can't and are trapped here right" she says I nod "I wanna know what is beyond this stone prison, but at the same time I am also afraid and we are somewhat safe here" I say.

Without thinking "What if there was no boys, just us" I say, she smirks at me after those words came out "There's a lot for us to do because I doubt we would try to leave, like we could swim in the pond, take turns making meals, attempt to scale the wall and most likely fail, and maybe even mess around" she says, I raise a brown at her rather confused.

"What do you mean by that" I say, she smirks widely, and then I felt myself growing hot from rising heat "Oh.. my god Teresa really, you're so bad" I say, she bursts out laughing moving from the couch to prevent being kicked by me again, "Think about it, it would likely happen, Two girls all alone together" she smirks again.

My face gets even more warm, I throw my blanket over my chin hiding my face from her, I then watch as she gets a mischievous idea and sparkle in her eyes, she then moves closer to me and all a sudden sneak attacks me with tickles, all across my stomach.

"Teresa! Stop" I laugh unable to push her off me and I am very ticklish, "hm? what's that I can't hear you right now" she smirks, she holds my legs down preventing them from accidently kicking them or myself getting hurt.

"Stop please, it tickles" I laugh out, trying to catch my breath quickly, but she still didn't stop she actually continued, I grasp one of her hands pushing it away grabbing the other one but accidentally knocking us both to the floor, she broke my fall.

I roll off her onto my back "you bitch" I giggle out of breath, she chuckles laying beside me "You threw me off the couch" she chuckled I glance at her playfully rolling my eyes "you are lucky it was the floor" I giggled, she smirks, getting up reaching her head helping me off the floor before she walks over to the hammock "goodnight Y/N ~" she sings blowing the candle to the tree house out.

I lay on the couch after she does so, "Goodnight Teresa" I whisper but she was already sound asleep, quietly and cutely snoring, what actually just happened I thought to myself.

Y/N Memory

"Come on Y/N hurry up!" a soft toned voice calls out, giggling I snuck out of the room, being careful not to wake anyone up "where are we going though?" I whisper to a female figure as she takes grasp of my hand leading me away, we enter a room designed like an outdoor space it was an empty space with a forest that has a tree house in it.

The girls looks up point at the tree house "up the ladder quickly, the guards are coming soon" she says we laugh climbing the ladder she helps me up closing the hatch behind us, I smile as I look around, there was a couch and hammock also a chair and table as well as a door leading to a deck area over hanging the area below.

"Do you like it?" she asks I nod smiling very warmly, "How did you find this?" I ask her taking a seat on the soft couch, "I noticed it yesterday as we passed it going to the lab, I just had to come back and look around" she said I nodded as she sat down beside me "Well if anything I am glad that we have", she leans in and I feel the touch of her soft lips on mine, I blush and smile kissing her back, we pull away gazing into each others eyes passionately "I love you Teresa" I mutter she smiles "I love you too Y/N" she says.

I awoke in the middle of the night, quietly walking out onto the deck sitting down, what was that I thought, I wasn't a dream right? wait was it a memory if so that meant the girl I kissed... It was Teresa.. I knew her before I was sent up here.. wait we kissed! does that mean we were more than friends that we were maybe together... I was so confused and felt so hot heat rising as I started uncontrollably blushing because the words felt natural to say now looking at her, I couldn't get the thought of her out of my mind what do I do now.. do I tell her... do I not.. I don't want to lose her as a friend, I glance back at her sleeping "I love you.." I mutter.
