From stone to flaming red.

the morning came and found the two girls naked under the covers of the bed. Red was holding Chloe in her arms and Chloe was curled up. Both girls started waking up at the same time. They look at each other and.. "agh!" They both scream as they pull away. Both pulled the cover of the bed to hide themselves. Ironic. "Red?" Chloe asked her and looked at her. "What did we do last night." She added. "Red looked under the covers to find both of them naked. "You want an answer to that?" Red told her. "Oh my god. No. Oh my god this cannot be happening right now." Chloe was rubbing her face. "You didn't..want this to happen?" Red asked her. "What? No...no it's not that. It's that I'm.." Chloe said as she stood up holding the covers. "I'm a virgin..." Chloe said as Red's eyes widen. "Well technically I was but.." Chloe says. "Oh my god..I'm- I'm so sorry I didn't.." Red said. "It's okay. It would've happened anyway but I just wished that I wasn't...drunk." Chloe says. "Oh god what did we do.." Red says. "Oh my god you probably didn't want this. Oh my god I'm an idiot. I moved to fast I shouldn't have done this." Red started panicking as she realised that she did the opposite of what she wanted to do. Be gentle with her. "God I'm such an asshole." Red cupped her face with both her hands. Feeling embarrassed. "No red.." Chloe noticed her and crawled back onto the bed. "It was a mistake. We shouldn't have done it. You didn't want this. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Red started panicking. "Hey hey hey! No. Red listen to me." Chloe said as she grabbed her face. "Everything is okay. Breathe. Remember drunk actions are sober thoughts." Chloe told her smiling. "Breathe." She told Red calming her down. Red looks her in the eyes as her breathing goes back to a normal pace.

"That's it." Chloe tells her. "Okay..now. What do we do..do we like forget this happened?" Red asks Chloe. "I mean. Do you want to forget this happened and pretend nothing's going on between us?" Chloe says. "I'm just..new to this..I don't know how to handle it. And to be honest I didn't want to have sex with you right away." Red tells Chloe. "Okay. But it happened. We can't go back" Ironic. Again. Red sighs and looks at Chloe who was rubbing her face. "What the fuck did I do..you ruined it." Red thought. Red had anxiety and she overthought everything. "I'm sorry this...this... shouldn't have happened" Red said as she grabbed her clothes and went straight to the bathroom. "No red-." Chloe tried to say but Red didn't listen. "Fuck." Chloe said soflty. The both girls got dressed and they went downstairs to see what happened. "Oh good morning love-." "no dont." Chloe said as she entered the kitchen where Isla and Daphne were. As she walked in everything came back to her.

"What have I said about looking away from me?"
"Why don't you ask your little girlfriend."
"Are you jealous?"
"Why would I be jealous. We're not dating"
"But do you want us to?"
"Fuck off Red."

"god.." Chloe said to herself as she remembered Red hands all over her body. "What happened?" Isla asked quietly before Red entered the room. "I'll tell you later." Chloe said when she saw Red. "Hey I'm heading off." Red says to Isla. "What? But I've made breakfast.." Isla responds. "I really can't stay right now..I have to go. Plus cinnamon is way too long alone." Red says as she gave a Chloe a sad look. "I'll turn us to Auradon later don't worry." Isla says to Chloe. "Bye Isla. Bye Daphne. Bye." Red said to Isla and Daphne and then to Chloe. She couldn't say her name. Red felt like she was in the wrong. She thought she ruined their friendship. She didn't dare to look at her. She thought of her mom. She would be so disappointed. She thought of every bad thing that this relationship might lead to.

Red got in her car as she wiped her tears. She sat in front of the steering wheel trying to hold back her tears. "Damn it!" She said as she hit the steering wheel. And looked out the window. She grabbed her pack of cigarettes and picked up one and lit it up. She started the car and drove off.

"What!" Isla said when Chloe told her what happened. "Oh my god that girl." Isla continued. Chloe's eyes started filling with tears. "Oh..Chloe." Daphne saw her and went up to her and hugged her. Chloe couldn't believe that Daphne was hugging her. "I really wanted you two together." Daphne says to her as she pulled away. "She seemed so scared. And worried. I think I ruined everything." Chloe told the girls. "Oh girl...Red's the biggest overthinker ever. She just needs her time." Daphne says. "How does she know anything about Red." Chloe thought to herself. "What am I going to do." Chloe said as she wiped her tears. "The best thing to do right now is give her time." Isla says and Daphne agrees. "We literally fucked. And she stormed off." Chloe said. "For a matter of fact I should've been the one to storm off. I'm a virgin." Chloe says as both of the girls look at her. "Well at least I was." Chloe said. "Red was your first time?!" Isla shouted. "Yes.." "and did you tell her that?" Daphne asked. "Yes?" Chloe responded. "Before or after you do it?" Isla asked. "After.." both girls hit their heads in disbelief. "What?! Was I not supposed to?" Chloe said. "You were! But not after!" Isla says. "Why?" "Because now Red feels guilty that she took your special moment away from you." Daphne said. "Exactly! That's why she stormed off. She thinks she was in the wrong and that you didn't like it. Or in your case don't remember it!" Isla said. "Oh my god I'm an idiot!" Chloe said. "Oh my god how could I do this to her." She said as tears began to fill her eyes. "She'll never talk to me." Chloe said. "Just give her some time. I'm sure she will. And we'll help on that." Isla said as Daphne agreed.
