two doors down

chapter 83

i don't know what to name it.

after staring at the wall a little too long there was a knock at the door.
"y/nnnn i want to have a shower can you hurry up please" it was mattie banging softly.

"5 more minutes mattie" i shouted panicking slightly. "shit" i said through gritted teeth.

i put my pyjamas on as gently as i could and cleaned up everything turning the fan on so the mirror defogs.

"showers free" i called out heading to my bedroom. i heard the bathroom door click shut and i grabbed my headphones and headed outside to the couch.

i got lost in the music curling up and staring at the stars.
between the hedges and roof over the outdoor area there wasn't much to see but it was enough.

i was shivering but i didn't want to go inside. suddenly the couch dipped beside me and i jumped staring at lizzie.

realising she was looking at me concerned i wiped my eyes and hid my hands in my hoodie sleeves.

"sweetheart it's 11pm, i came for a glass of water. you should be in bed" she said softly. i couldn't talk otherwise i would start crying again.

she seemed to know everything that i was feeling and opened her arms for a hug. i pushed up from where i was laying and fell into her.

she wrapped her arms around me and i finally felt a mothers comfort. i've accepted it now. i see lizzie as a mother figure. monica was right.

my body was shaking with sobs and lizzie just held me tightly no questions asked.

no telling me to shut up.

no telling me to stop crying or she'll give me something to cry about.

no. just no yelling 

lizzie was such a calm person i always felt on edge expecting her to explode but right now i knew she wasn't like that.

"shh baby you're alright" she said softly and a strange feeling started inside me.
i eventually stopped crying and started apologising.

"im always here to talk y/n/n, seriously. i won't judge you" she said so softly i wanted to tell her everything i have ever wanted to tell anyone.

"im fine, really" i said and she just gave me a look. i just shrugged and she ran her hand up and down my back kissing my head.

i didn't ever want to leave her warm embrace.

i think i was falling asleep.

lizzie's pov
i've been trying to fall asleep for about an hour but something was keeping me up.

confused and frustrated i get up to go grab some water.
when i do i swear i see something move outside. looking closer it looks like y/n? i thought she went to bed hours ago.

i go outside calling out to her but she doesn't answer

------

my teen suddenly sinks into me further and i look down and find her asleep.
i sit for a bit running my fingers through her slightly damp hair.

after a bit i get too cold and figure she's cold too.
i stand up carefully before sliding my arms underneath her and lifting the girl into my arms.

she was light even when dead asleep. i walked back inside shutting the door behind me but remembering to come back and lock it.

i lay her in her bed pulling the covers back and tucking her in. "goodnight my sweet girl" i whisper softly. she curled into her covers and didn't stir at all.

i look over to mattie who was upside down in his bed and arm hanging off and a leg up the wall. it's hard to keep my laugh in as i reposition the boy and tuck him back in.

after putting my kids to bed properly i managed to finally fall asleep myself.

a few days later.

y/ns pov
rose was nervous. she had been asking me all week what monica's favourite flowers were. favourite chocolates. what do to for a date. i thought it was adorable.

monica was stressing becuase she wanted to ask rose out but she also wanted rose to make the first move and i was just in the middle of it all.

monica had bought her flowers not knowing the other had done the same.
right now i was getting ready to wingman both of them.

roses game was at 5pm since it was the finals. usually the games are during the day. i was wearing the same dress rose had leant me the other day.

by now we were always at eachothers houses. her here more but anyway we had a shared closet. i guess this is what having a sister is like.

"y/n i am STRESSING" rose shook my shoulders as we were about to leave and get in the car.

"rose it's fine, trust me"
"what do you know that i don't"
"nothing" i was smiling. pushing her to get in.

the whole ride to the field she was shaking with the nerves. we stopped by the grocer so she could get a powerade and snack for after before going again. 

she played the game perfectly scoring 4 goals and dedicating one of them to monica specifically which made her blush.

after the game and the players were let go rose ran up to monica who had the flowers ready. she just blushed and passed over flowers aswell.

"do you want to go out with me"
"do you want to go out with me"

they said at the same time. it was so cute. i saw scarlett gripping onto lizzie with a gasp and then tapping eachother over and over like highschool girls.

i was too focused on them to realise they had both just said yes to eachother. to celebrate the win everyone and their families were going to go bombard the nearest maccas.

the boys were with colin so it was just us 5. i completely fell asleep in the back seat up against the window.

"is she asleep" is all i hear before completely blacking out.
