Love Shouldn't Cause Pain?

Friend or FOE?

🌱 Ivy's p.o.v 🌱

Dam! Why did I do that. Why did I react like that... I threw my hands from my hair to my work bench. In that moment I couldn't care less about my plants. My fists hit the table and I couldn't feel the pain over the rage that was taking over my body, I simply removed my hands and slid down onto the floor. This is why you keep things locked away Pamela, tears were starting to pour down my face.

"What is wrong with me?..." I didn't realise I was talking out loud... I tilled my head up to the ceiling, trying to stop the flow of tears that seemed never ending. I mess everything up... First my dad now Harley. I couldn't lose Harl.

I pulled myself of the floor and rubbed the dirt from the floor of me and started walking towards the stairs. How would I do this? How could I apologise? My hands were starting to get ridiculously sweaty as I got closer and closer to my room.

I was finally at the door... What was I going to do? What if I walked in on a private conversation? I couldn't just walk in... I could knock but it might startle them. I finally decided I would listen in on the conversation just to make sure it was okay to come in. I pressed my ear near the door...

"So do you have any family in town?" I could hear the difference in Harley's voice, I upset her before... Why do I always have to mess stuff up.

"Erm.... no I'm alone. Always have been always will be." She sounded... Of, maybe I was just jealous that she was in there with Harley and I wasn't.

"I could ask Red if you could stay here... maybe she would be okay with it." It hurt when I heard the pain increase as she spoke about me... I just wanted to walk in and tell her I was sorry...

"Red? The girl you live with... Wait are you guys... Well you know. Together? " Oh my god just hearing someone asking that question made my heart race... Maybe Harley would say that she wants us to be together!

"Me and RED... No. No were just friends. Really good friends... " My heart? Is it still beating? I don't think it is... I - I guess it's a good thing I never told her how I felt. My eyes filled with tears and I stood up to leave when the conversation continued...

"Oh... So what's up with her? She seems... a bit well... Of..." Who the hell does she think she is that little-

"Red?! No she's just, she's been through a lot. She's nice once you get to know her.... I - I was going to. Well end my life after something happened to me... But Red. I kept going for her, she would of gone after the person who did this to me... She would of died, she wouldn't of been able to think straight. You see Red... She - she's not great with people, they don't understand her but I do. We understand each other. Without Red... I don't know where I would be." Harley quickly sniffeled "So if you want Red to like you: follow her rules, don't pose a threat, don't ask questions about her past or present, just be nice oh and stay away from her plants there the only thing she truly cares about. "The tears were unbearable by this point and I had to run down the stairs.

I - I didn't know what to think. I could, just lock it away Pamela, just forget about it. It took a moment but the tears stopped. I ran my hands trough my hair, it always seemed to calm me when Harley wasn't around. I took a minute to compose myself, eventually I made my way back upstairs, on the way up I walked into Skylar looking up at me with her beautiful eyes. I bent down and scooped her up of the floor. I carried on towards my bedroom with Skylar in my arms purring. This time I didn't dare listen I just knocked with one hand,after shifting Skylar so she fit in a singular hand.

"Can I come in?"

"Of course Red!" I heard Harley get up to open the door for me. As she opened the door I felt the memories wanting to be set free, I was not about to let that happen so I smiled at Harl instead.

"I hope you don't mind but Skylar missed her Harley" I held out my arms and Harley scooped him out of my arms. There was only a brief moment where we touched but it still calmed me.

"Hey Phoebe wanna hold Skylar for a minute whilst I talk to Red? " Harley turned her head to the mysterious girl on our bed.

"Sure! I love kittens." She held her arms out to Harl who handed over Skylar ever so slowly, it's like- like she wanted to touch this Phoebe for as long as possible.

"Come on" Harl held out her hand to me and I wasted no time taking her hand into mine. " Let's go down stairs and go get somethin to eat!"

"Harley... About before. I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to shout..." Harley's big blue burrowing eyes looked straight into mine.

"Red.... Its fine. I just want you to know, I'm always gonna be here for you." Harley used her free hand to stroke my face ever so lightly. I melted into Harley's hand... I never wanted this to end.

"Hey Red... I kinda need to ask you for a tiny little favour...." I knew exactly what she was taking about and it my heart crumble.

"Harl, She can stay but not forever okay? And if she hurts you... I will kill her." Before I knew it I was pinned up against the counter by Harls body, she pulled me into a hug but the only thing I could think about was how soft she was, how close she was, how beautiful she is. Harley looked up at me, still in her embrace and I couldn't help but bite my lip a bit. Harley looked at me confused. Our faces were so close... All I had to do was move a half inch and our lips would connect, I threw away everything she talked about and leaned in closer... Not close enough to kiss her, Harley had to fill the gap. She looked me in the eyes and started edging closer. My heart started racing, filling with butterfly's I had never felt this way before. Oh my god. Oh My God. She was leaning in I was just moments away from what I had been waiting for after all this time. I closed my eyes and waited for the moment of my life.
