Angels and Devils ~ Legacies

I Can Help You

"I can't believe I'm doing this." I mumble to myself as I walk up to none other than Penelope Park's dorm. My eyes might betray me before I can speak. My cheeks were still stained with some tears after Josie's fight with me. I sigh and lift my hand up to knock on the door. "Penelope."

The door is quickly opened and standing there with a smug look is the devil herself. She smirks. "Well, well-" She then stops and squints at me, her eyes softening at my teary ones.

I quickly blink them away and look up slightly. "I need your help."

"Oh my gosh." She mumbles. She quickly pulls me into her room and sits me on her bed. "What happened? Who did this?"

I bite my lip, figuring out what to say. I knew I could trust Penelope with this kind of information. She was always one for standing up for woman.

"Penelope, how-" I begin, but not before a tear slips from my eye. She frowns and wipes the tear away with her thumb.

"Hey, it's okay. Alright? I'm here for you. I know we have our differences, but obviously something is bothering you." She frowns and places her hand over mine.

My eyes gaze into hers. "I think I'm falling in love, but I'm so fucking scared. I've never loved anyone like this." I brush a hand through my hair, looking embarrassed.

"And is this someone Josie?" She asks, a jealous spark in her eyes, although it wasn't clear about whom she was jealous of.

"Maybe... ugh, I don't know, Penelope! I don't understand my feelings. It's like I can't decide if I like boys or girls yet, or both." I say, looking at her knowing expression.

"You're going through the same thing we've all been through. Don't worry." She smiles at me. "I can help you."

"What?" I ask, furrowing my eyebrows.

"Just don't think about it." She whispers. I breath heavily as she gets up, leaning towards me. She grabs my face and looks down at my lips. "Don't think."

I let out a gasp and look at her lips. "But-" She closes the gap between us, causing me to relax into her embrace.

I wrap my legs around her torso. She pushes me further on the bed and pulls off my shirt. I do the same to her, she gently kisses my neck, causing me to gasp in surprise.

I'd never experienced this with girls, so it was something new and exciting to me, but then I remembered: Josie.

"Wait." I breathe out.

"What? Did I do something wrong?" She asks, looking at me in concern. She looks down at me, studying my expression.

"I can't do this." I mumble. I get up and put my shirt back on, leaving Penelope sitting on the bed, leaning on her side watching me.

"Liliana." She stops me as I pace back and forth. I look at her, exasperated. "It's okay. Did that help you figure anything out?"

I look down, confused. "Wait, that was just a test?"

"Yeah, it'll help you figure yourself out. Trust me. Plus, I like you. You're cute." She smirks as I blush at her comment.

I bite my lip. "I better go." Before I walk out, I look back at her. "Thank you." She laughs as I walk out of her dorm.

"Oh boy. I just made out with my best friend's ex-girlfriend who knows that I'm in love with her ex-girlfriend." I ramble to myself. I take a deep breath and walk to my dorm, shaken up.

The next morning, we were all called for a meeting. Ugh, I hate meetings. Hope drags me out of bed, telling me to get ready.
