Spin the Bottle (KOTLC)

WHAT?!

**WARNING** INCLUDES SUICIDAL THOUGHTS

Wylie POV

Maruca was bi?! How did I never know this? Why did she never tell me? Linh held my hand, trying to comfort me. She intertwined them, and held tight. I mean I was completely fine with that, but why wouldn't Maruca tell me? Why would she keep something so big? The tension in the room had risen greatly from that one moment. Marella's face was fully red, as if someone painted her face. (stares at Disney Rise of the Red (And of course I hate it)) Maruca got up, and jolted out of the room, the whole room to stunned to speak. She should've listened to me! SHE SHOULD OF JUST SAID NO! THAN NONE OF THIS WOULD'VE HAPPENED. Anger mixed in with the many emotions I was feeling, pulsing through my veins. 

Linh says something, but my anger clouds it out. My anger floats away as I see Linh's relaxed features. But how could she be relaxed now? "Wylie, did you listen to me, go after her!" The words form in my head as I fly up off the floor running after Maruca. 

"How bout the rest of us get snacks," Keefe suggests. I flash him a quick smile while walking out as a thank you. 

Maruca POV

I should of never done that. Now what would everyone think about me. I can hear Wylie's faint calls, as I sink to the floor, curling in a little ball. My hands swirl against the tiles, and my feet stay planted in the ground. Now Marella and LInh know I like them! I cry silently, my tears burning down my cheecks. 

Things would never be the same again.

My friends would never like me.

Wylie would never like me.

I would never like me.

The door begans to creak open, but I don't stop it. There was no more urge in my body to do anything. No urge to talk. NO urge to walk. No urge to love. No urge to feel. I was numb, and I would stay that way.

Wylie POV 

"MARUCA! YOU HAD ME WORRIED SICK!"  I pause to look at her. "Maruca are you ok?" She doesn't move. "Maruca? Maruca? MARUCA?" I rush down to her side, desperate for her to talk  "Maruca you know I'm totally fine that your bi. No matter what I'll still love you. Your me cousin and I wouldn't want you any other way."

She stares at me, her eyes shimmering with tears.

"Did yo- did you really- did you really mean that?"

"Of course Maruca, of course I did." I help her as she slowly gets to her feet.

"Wylie, I want to go home."

"Whatever you say. Let me go tell everyone that were leaving."

Maruca POV

He was gone. I look in the mirror. My hair a mess, my face a mess, my life- a mess. I look down and scissors.

Should I?

Would I live to regret it?

Would- would anyone care?

I brought the scissors up to my neck, looking in the mirror. Was this the end? I look at my desperate self, waiting, waiting for it all to be over. But I drop the scissors, before standing, looking in the mirror, letting my train of thought run.

"Ok ready to go?" I jump, looking over to see Wylie walk in.

"Wylie, you can stay. It's ok I don't want to ruin your fun."

"No, it's fine. You're all the fun I need." I smile at him, before jumping in to a big bear hug.

"Love you."

"Love you too." I release Wylie from the hug as he gasps for air. We walk to the leapmaster in silence, a sweet silence. I think about how it'll be during school, but I don't really care anymore.

A/N I hope you liked that chapter! I worked really hard to try to capture the angsty feelings of Maruca while she was facing this big embarrassment of letting out what she had held in for so long. I tried to make it very sentimental ig and gave Maruca some time to shine.

But anyway thank you for all the support, and have an amazing day!
