Watermelon Seed { Garroth X Reader }

Chapter 19

"5 Months. 5 months Katelyn!" tears trickle down my cheeks.

"Y/n. He will wake up. He will be fine. You can stay strong until then." Katelyn attempts to calm me down, give me hope.

"Stay strong? You think I can stay strong?" I yank up my left sleeve. " Is this what you call strong? Tell me, Katelyn, when was I ever stong with out him?"

Katelyn's eyes widen. Her mouth opens, but no words come out. 

I slide down the wall and put my arms around my legs, and I bury my face in my knees. The tears stream down my face like a water tap on full blast. Silence filled the room.

"To add to the pain, my mom's gone!" I break the silence. "I lost my dad. I lost my mom. I don't need to lose Garroth." I say softly.

"Y/n, I know I can't relate, but just know my dad wouldn't have adopted you if we weren't here for you. If you need someone to talk to, I will always be there." I watch as Katelyn leaves me to be alone in my room.

-=+=-

"You're coming." Aphmau tugs on my arm.

"No, I'm not. I refuse to go anywhere that is not the kitchen or my room." I cross my arms on my chest.

"You are coming with me to help Ga-... Zane's mom make cookies for Prom." 

Next thing I know I have 2 pairs of hands pushing me across the street and inside the Ro'meave household.

"Hi, Zianna!" Aphmau squeals excitedly.

"Hey Y/n, Aphmau, and Katelyn!" Sylvana walks out of the kitchen covered in flour.

I give her a half smile. We all walk into the kitchen top see Vlyad and Zane sitting at the table glued to their phones. Aphmau shoves a big mixing bowl with baggies of the ingredients and recipe into my arms.

"You are making the unicorn cookies.  Now go off and make them!" Aphmau squeals in my face before shoving me towards the table the guys are sitting at.

I slide into a chair and place the bowl and its contents on the table. I start to read and follow the directions as I build up the courage to talk to Vlyad.

"H-Hey Vlyad" My voice came out unusually high and cracked.

"Hey Y/n" He replies, his eyes still glued to his phone.

"Sooo... whatcha doing?" I plop thirds of the cookie dough into bowls.

Vlyad sighs and puts his phone on the table, "Nothing really. Just feeling more and more like a person part of a family that is only getting pity."

"Welp," I pour in food coloring and sprinkles into each bowl. "You aren't the only one getting pity and gaining so many friends.... because they feel pity for me."

"Hey, after this whole cookie... mess, want to hang out for a bit?" Vlyad asks and he elbows Zane in the side.

"Sure, it's not like I have anything better to do-" I plop small balls of dough onto the cookie sheet.

"I'll come with. It will be better to hang out fewer girl-women-things." Zane says in his deep voice.

I slightly smile.

The closest I've been to a smile in a long time...

I stare at the layer of leaves crunching under our feet as the three of us walk together. The two guys were talking about Garroth, while I try to ignore them. After at least 10 minutes of considering, I decided to talk. I take a very deep breath.

"You know, Garroth's been gone so long... sometimes I think I see him and hear him." I push back tears already. "I'm afraid to be alone because of all the things that happened..."

"Y/n, we will always be here for you. We've known each other from the beginning. You are practically my sister. Ever since you and Garroth were kids, you both inseparable. You both would cry for hours just because you were in separate classes when you guys were in elementary school."

~Flashbacks are in italics btw :D~

Garroth and I's hands slide against each other while our parents try to pull us into our separate classrooms. I slide my small hands out of my dad's grip and rush over to Garroth. We wrap our arms around each other and refuse to let go. All of the sudden, we both are lifted up and carried into our separate classrooms. Tears start streaming down my face, and I curl up into a small ball as soon as I'm set down.

"Yea... we would always be put into the same classes after the first week of school until middle school." I start to smile."

"Both of our families wanted you guys to get together from the very beginning. My mom fangirled as much as she fangirls over Beyonce when she found out about you guys' first kiss."

There were wigs and stuff flying everywhere. Soon, I fall over with the familiar Blonde haired blue eyed person. I feel the heat in my cheeks.

I must be blushing like a madman.

All of the sudden, it was like time stopped. I see everyone staring at us and Kawaii~Chan fangirling. Garroth and I were both completely frozen and were as red a tomato, and a fire-truck put together. I went to say something but closed my mouth. Then, it all happened at once. Travis pushed Dante, who pushed Laurance, who fell on top of Garroth. His lips and mine were together and he kissed me. I hesitated and kissed back.

"Yea... that day... the day I found out my real feelings for Garroth, and found out how insane KC is." I smile, thinking back to that memory.

-=+=-

I sit on the chair next to Garroth's hospital bed.

"Garroth, if you ever wake up, there are a few things I would want you to know. You were my first friend, my first crush, my first kiss, and my first boyfriend that I willingly liked. We were always by each other's sides no matter what happened. We sang so many duets together... To be honest, I really just want you to know... I-I love you, Garroth.." At this point, tears are running down my face like a waterfall that won't stop flowing.

Through my sobs, I hear a soft British voice, "I love you too, Y/n"

~Sorry for the time skip, but it is important for the last chappy :D~

-= Two Months After Garroth Woke Up =-

I yawn as I scoot in closer to Garroth with my head on his shoulder. Since I won the bet of Zane and KC kissing, we were watching a very, very cheesy rom-com. Garroth picks up the remote and pauses the movie. Prom is in two weeks, so I think I know what he's doing.

Garroth takes a bouquet of roses from behind the couch. "Y/n, Will you go to prom with me?"

"Of course!" I smile and our lips meet.
