Grow As We Go

In Your Hands

Do you really want this?
Be honest, be honest
Do you just wanna call it?
Be honest
Keep lookin' for a sign that
We got this, we're solid
But maybe we're just getting in the way

Looking at Azzi for a moment, Paige slowly pulled away before she eventually turned to head for the door as Azzi nervously watched her walk away. Unsure of what this moment was between them, it felt like they were working their way back, it felt right, it felt sincere and raw. Their lips once again meeting each other after being apart for so long. It all felt like things were falling place for them to start moving in the right direction to mend what had broke them. Feeling her heart nearly beat out of her chest, Azzi felt her hand become sweaty from the nerves that were catching up to her. Knowing that in this moment, Azzi would have do something to prevent her from leaving.

"Paige, wait!" Azzi said just as Paige began to open the door. Standing with her back to Azzi, Paige just paused in that moment before she eventually turned to face Azzi in that moment so that she could see her face. "Stay. Stay with me tonight" she said as Paige looked on at her, both in a new world of desperation and rawness with each other.

"Do you think that's the best idea?" Paige asked as she looked on at her.

"Well, you're not outside. You're here, so clearly you don't want to leave either" Azzi replied as she pointed out that Paige wasn't exactly eager to leave as well.

"So now what?" Paige asked as Azzi looked on her with a bit of nervousness.

"I don't know, I didn't get past the part where I didn't want you to leave" Azzi replied as she thought for a moment as Paige could do was laugh to herself and Azzi's need to overthink.

"Do you want me to stay to watch Frozen?" Paige asked as Azzi nodded. "Okay, there's progress" she said as relieved herself of her jacket. "Are you on a fixed income or can I have a sandwich as well?" she asked as she walked over towards Azzi once tossing her jacket onto the sofa. Grabbing a plate, Paige then grabbed two slices of bread as she began to spread mayonnaise on her sandwich, while all Azzi could do was look on at the blonde. Feeling some bit of comfort as she found some way to calm her down without even realizing it.

"I only have turkey..." Azzi began to say.

"There's no possibility of ham?" Paige asked as Azzi laughed as she shook her head.

"Why are you so against eating healthy???" Azzi questioned as they continued to banter back and forth over Paige's eating habits.

If we wait for the perfect time
What if it's just

Just a little too late?
Just a little too little?
What if I'm just
A little much, too much for ya?
What if we just
Take a little more space
And little by little
It does what it does
'Til there's nothin' left of us?

Watching as the movie credits rolled on the television screen, Azzi sat in confusion as to what was supposed to happen next. Looking on at the clock, it read midnight, which wasn't even close to the time that Paige would go to sleep. Getting up from her spot on the sofa, Azzi walked over to grab the remote as she set the app back to the home screen. Looking over at Paige, Azzi gave a weak smile as they both looked on at each other for a moment. Returning the same weak smile, Paige rose to her feet so that they were now face to face with each other. Both a bit nervous as to what they should do next. Both trying to read what the other wanted while trying to respect the fact that they needed to pace out their.
