You Deserve Someone Else

a/n: sorry for ghosting y'all like that. i felt really unmotivated these past couple of months cause of school. but hey, school's over and i'm finally moving to a new school for the next year :]] i'm feeling pretty good now so i'm gonna start updating my stuff slowly.

anyways, onto the story! (THIS WAS INSPIRED BY THAT ONE ROBLOX TIKTOK VID BY 2CISTARI!!!)

White-Haired Girl = Ivory

Blonde Girl = Lorrie

Spectator = Nova May (My Avatar)

The desert road seemed to go on forever, stretching even farther every time they seemed to be near the end of the road. No matter, though. It was Lorrie's idea to go back to the city by car and the GPS said they only had 4 hours left until this tiring car ride was over. They passed through every store and every garage just so they could get enough food, water, and gas to last their entire road trip.

After going to a store for the 9th time for more food, Nova May opened the door to the driver's seat of the car. Ivory went in the backseat, nervously playing with her hair. She's had a crush on Lorrie for so long, and she didn't know how to tell her about it. She wanted to confess to her so badly but she didn't even know if she likes girls or not. Nova May turned to look at the backseat and noticed Ivory playing with her hair. They tilt their head slightly.

"You're doing it again," Nova May says.

Ivory snapped out from her thoughts, looking at the younger friend. "H-huh? Doing what?"

"You play with your hair when you overthink," Nova May answers, nonchalantly.

"Oh...," Ivory looks down at her hands, noticing her fingers still tangled with her hair. "Yeah..."

Nova May sighs. They rest their arms on the seat and lean in. "You should tell her."

"Huh?!" Ivory says, surprised by her friend's suggestion. "T-tell who what?"

Nova May shrugs, "That you like Lorrie?"

Ivory feels her face heat up, her face flushing. "H-how did you-?"

"It's not like you hide it very well," Nova May interrupts. "I mean, we've known each other for years. I've seen how you look at her. And, honestly, everyone else knows, too."

"O-oh," Ivory replies. Her eyes darted back and forth, feeling awkward.

"So, I say, tell her," Nova May says, confidently.

"I-I don't know if that's a good idea," Ivory says, nervously.

"And why not?"

"Well... I mean, I'm not even sure if she likes girls, much less me. Plus, we've been friends for a long time. What if I confess and it makes everything weird?"

Nova May turns back to the front, leaning back on their seat. They rest their head against the window. "Look, I know this may not be the best time to do it, considering everything that's going on, but..." They trail off for a second, thinking about their words. "...but you shouldn't miss the opportunity. It might be your last chance. If something happens and you two aren't able to talk, then you're gonna regret not saying anything. You have the chance, Ivory. It's your move."

Ivory thinks about their words before looking outside, seeing Lorrie carry two plastic bags filled with food and drinks. "She's coming."

"Then, this conversation is over," Nova May says. They sit back down on their seat and pretend like nothing happened.

Lorrie opens the trunk of the car and puts the bags inside, closing the trunk after finishing. She tells the other two, dusting her hands off, "Welp, that's more food for the road trip. Nova May, don't binge-eat again, 'kay? I bought you some medicine from the pharmacy a while ago."

"Yeah, yeah, I got it," Nova May replies, nonchalantly.

Ivory takes a deep breath, gathering up all the courage she can. She puts her head out of the window and asks Lorrie, "Hey, can I talk to you?"

Lorrie looks at her and tilts her head. "Huh? Sure, what's up?"

"Um..." Ivory turns to look at Nova May. Nova May quickly puts on their headphones, pretending they weren't able to hear what was going on.

Ivory sighs, resting her arms on the car door. "You know how we've been friends since middle school, right?" Ivory asks, nervously.

Lorrie nods. Ivory takes a deep breath. "Well... I, uh..."

Lorrie notices her friend's hesitation and says, "It's okay. Take your time. I'm not going anywhere."

"Okay, okay, here goes," Ivory closes her eyes, trying to find the words. "Look, uh, I don't know if you're into girls, much less me, but, well... I... really like you. Like, in the more-than-friends kind of way. And I was wondering if... you wanted to go out with me?"

They sat there in silence before Lorrie broke it. "You... like me?"

Ivory nods, "Yes."

"Ew..."

That one word made Ivory feel like her world came crashing down. Nova May turned around, shocked by what Lorrie had said. Ivory asks, "Y-you don't?"

Lorrie shakes her head. "But you're a girl."

Ivory's heart shattered into a million pieces. Lorrie sighed, "Look, let's just get back home, okay? I'm sorry I didn't say what you wanted me to say but I'm just not interested."

Lorrie entered the front seat, starting the car. The three friends sat there in silence, not daring to look at each other. The car moved forward, slowly getting out of the garage and into the city. Nova May turns around, facing Ivory.

"Are you okay?" Nova May whispered to her.

"I'm fine," Ivory replies, quietly. She turns to look outside the window, watching as the cacti and rocks in the desert pass by the car.

"I'm so sorry," Nova May whispers.

"I said, I'm fine," Ivory answers, still looking outside.

Nova May sits back down, looking down. They felt so bad for her. The air was so awkward that Nova May wanted to scream. Nova May held out a hand to Ivory, hoping it would make her feel better. Ivory took their hand, squeezing it. They could tell she was trying not to cry.

Lorrie continued to drive, trying to forget what had just happened. She couldn't believe that Ivory would ever have a crush on her, let alone ask her out. She didn't know why she reacted that way, but she knew it was wrong for Ivory to like her. It didn't work that way. It wasn't right.

She just hoped that Ivory was just trying to mess around.
