Behind The Mask (Normani/you)

Chapter Ten

Normani's POV

I got to the graveyard and started to look for Y/n. Thankfully the graveyard wasn't that big so I quickly found her. I saw her looking at a gravestone and slowly walked up to her. As I got closer I saw the name: Ellie Y/l/n. That must be someone in her family. I couldn't help but just stare at her beauty. Then I reminded myself this wasn't the time. However, I couldn't look away.

"What are you doing here?" She asked me without turning around.

I snapped out of my thoughts. "I was worried about you," I answered. "So was Blair."

"Then why isn't she here?"

"I wanted to come after you."

"Why?"

"Because believe it or not I care about you."

"No one cares about me."

"Blair does."

"She doesn't count. She has to."

"What do you mean?"

She sighed. "After everything that's happened with me she knows that if she doesn't I'd be dead as well."

"That's not why she cares. She cares because she loves you. You're her best friend."

"Sure."

It was silent for a moment until I spoke up. "I know."

"Know what?" She asked.

"Why you won't look at me."

"And why's that?"

"Because I remind you of her, Ellie, I think she was your little sister. I remind you of her and you don't like that because she's dead. That's why you refuse to look at me. Because you don't just see me you see her." Y/n didn't reply but I heard a faint sob.

"I'm sorry," she apologized as she wiped her tears.

"Don't be." I reached out to put my hand on her shoulder. I hesitated not knowing how'd she react but decided to do it anyway. I rested my hand on her shoulder. "I'm right here for you." I slowly walked in front of her and lifted her chin with my fingers. "And I'm not going anywhere." She met my eyes. Oh those eyes. I could stare into them for eternity. But then my eyes glanced down at those lips of her. Oh how I wanted to kiss them. I looked back at her eyes just to notice she was looking at my lips as well. I slowly started to lean in as she did as well. I closed my eyes as our lips connected. They molded together perfectly. It was a simple kiss, just lips. But it was amazing. That is until she pushed me away.

"I can't I'm sorry," she looked away.

"I-I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that," I apologized.

"No it's not that. I like you Normani I do, it's just. Ellie. I can't look at you without seeing her and I don't wanna see her."

"I know. I'm sorry."

"So am I."

Your POV

After that we fell into an awkward silence. "Normani?"

"Yeah?"

"Just, just give me time. Then we'll see if there can ever be an us." I saw her nod out of the corner of my eye. "Let's head back to the bus." I started to walk away and I heard her follow. Time to see what chaos awaits me.

So I've been dead. I know. I apologize. And this chapter sucks. But oh well. It's just that I don't feel like anybody is reading this. So if you are please tell me so I can actually update more frequently. Thanks. Byyyyyeee.
