~The Final Girl~

~Four~

Mindy had woken up around 4 am to get a glass of water, being careful to not wake the sleeping Izzy, she made her way downstairs to the kitchen after grabbing her and Isabella's pasta dishes from a few hours prior.
Mindy turned the faucet on, grabbing a glass from the cabinet, she rubbed her eyes as she filled up her glass.

She made her way back up to her bedroom, quietly shutting the door behind her. She looked at the sleeping figure in her bed.
Mindy looked at the girl who she has had a crush on since they were in sixth grade, she loved everything about Isabella, her personality, her beauty, everything. She just had this spark about her that Mindy loved.
Even right now when Isabella had been seeming to slowly lose her spark, Mindy was still in love.

Mindy sat back down in her bed, getting ready to head back to sleep when she felt stirring next to her. Mindy didn't think too much of it until she heard the faint whimper and mumbling.
"Iz?" Mindy whispers, turning to look at the younger girl.
"No, please stop" Isabella mumbles as she stirs back and forth.
"Izzy? Hey Iz wakeup" Mindy says as she slightly shakes her.
"Please no" Izzy mumbles, tears streaming down her face.
"Hey Izzy, you have to wake up hun." Mindy gently shook the girl, making sure to be mindful of her injuries.

Izzy  jumped awake with a gasp.
Izzy took a minute to look around, her frantic eyes seemed to calm down when she saw Mindy.
Isabella sat up, running her hands through her hair, then covering her face.
"Jesus" she mumbles.
"Are you okay?" Mindy softly asks, wrapping her arm around Izzy.
Isabella nodded, "Yeah, it was just a bad dream" she says leaning into Mindy's touch.
Mindy rubbed her back, as she removed her hands from her face, running them through her hair again.
"God, I hate this. I hate this so much Mindy. " she says softly.
Mindy listened and continued to rub her back.

"I can't even imagine what must be going through your head. But I need you to know, I will be here for you whenever you need me. I don't care when or where, I'm here for you. Other than my dingus of a brother, you are the most important person in my life,"
Isabella shifted, so she was facing Mindy.
She wasn't use to seeing this softer, less snarky side of Mindy, but she was enjoying it.
"Do you really mean that?"
Mindy nods, "I do"
"You're the most important person in my life too" she says softly.

Isabella's arms wrapped around Mindy's neck while Mindy's made their way into Isabella's hair.
"Mindy?"
"Hm?"
"Can I kiss you?"
"Please do"
Isabella didn't waste time joining their lips together, . Mindy shifted Isabella onto her lap as she deepened the kiss. 
The two pulled apart for a moment, only for Isabella to pull them together again, Mindy smiling into the kiss.
When the two finally pulled apart, Mindy was smiling like an idiot. "God, I've been wanting to do that since middle school"
Isabella giggled "Really?"

Mindy nodded as she laid back down, bringing Izzy down with her.
Isabella wraps her arms around Mindy's waist, resting her head on Mindy's chest.
Mindy ran her fingers through Izzy's hair.
"So does this make us an official thing? Or just make out buddies?" Mindy jokes.
Isabella smiles and shakes her head slightly. 

"We don't need to make anything super serious Iz, you've had a very traumatizing 24 hours and you don't need to much more on your plate"
"I wanna be with you Mindy, this feels right" the shorter girl said right away.
"I want to be with you too Iz,"
"Then lets ride out the rest of this nightmare together"

Isabella jumped awake when she heard a phone ringing. She lifted her head slightly off her girlfriend's chest.
"Mindy?" she whispered, shaking Mindy as a phone began to ring.
Mindy groaned and stirred as the phone stopped ringing momentarily, only to ring again, making Isabella shake Mindy again.
Mindy opens her eyes, reaching over grabbing her cell phone.
"Relax hun, it's just Sam... Sam you better have a good reason to be calling me so goddam early in the morning...ugh, yep that's fine. What time? Okay bye"
