Chapter 23

" You've told me enough about anime and fandoms , tell me about yourself. I want to know you , [ Y/N ] . NOT in a creepy way, more like a-get-to-know-ya kind of way." I said as I nod my head left to right while saying get-to-know-ya.

"Well. I am your everyday, below average fangirl and fujoshi , who-" I cut her off, not liking what I was hearing.

"You are NOT below average, [ Y/N ] " I said to her.

"Thanks, but-"

"No. I'm sorry, but I will not let you say that about yourself, [ Y/N ] . You are amazing."

"Well, you're the first to think so." She said with a smile but there was sadness in her eyes.

"I don't believe that. "

"Well, you are."

"I shouldn't be."

She looked away from me and straight ahead. "I didn't have many friends. The people I do talk to are all online friends . There's no telling if the friendship will last when what you know about them is limited to messages  . "

"What about your family?" I asked.

"I have a sister. Who cares only about herself and what people say about her, than she does about me. She, along with all the other kids at school, make it there job to try to break me."

"What about your parents? Have you told them?" I asked with sadness evident in my words, as we finally get to the water.

She scoffed. "What's the use? Not like they'd do anything. They think I'm second best." She stopped and got up . She stood at the edge of the beach , her feet in the water and her gaze upon the horizon . 

 I got up to join her and notice a tear fall down her cheek. I gently wipe it away, and gently lift her chin with my finger, and I whisper to her with only honesty showing in my eyes. "You are not second best to me. You are the most beautiful, kindest, funniest, smartest, heart attack inducing, show stopping girl I've ever met , " she chuckle lightly, and sniffles. "best story telling, most creative, loving, talented-"

"Thank you, Edm-"

"No need to thank me, I'm only stating facts, and I could go on." I said to her.

"No. Really. Thank you."

"No, thank you." I told her.

"Why thank me?" She asked curiously.

"Thank you that I now know that I'm not the only one, who has felt that way. I know now that I'm not alone anymore, I know how you feel. To have a sibling that you feel like you're always being compared to. You know, like you said. Second best. I always feel so unworthy compared to Peter." I confessed truthfully.

"It feels good to know someone who understands."

"It really does." I agreed. "I hardly ever open up, to, anyone. But, I-I feel...like."

"Like what?" She asked.

"Like I can tell you anything, and, you won't judge me." 

"Hey, I never said that I wouldn't judge." She joked, and we both laughed. I notice that we are a lot closer than we were before. "I'm kidding, you can tell me anything. We're the same, remember?" She said as she starts to lean in.

I do the same. "Yeah. We are." I said just before our lips meet. I close the gap. Our lips move in sink together. It was even better that I could have ever imagined!

As we pull apart, we rested our foreheads on each other's as we inhale the oxygen we missed when our lips locked.

"They're so in love " Roger voice came from where he stood meters away .  

Felicity let out a neigh " they're too young to be in love , this is crazy " 

" Love finds a way " Rodger said , his long face turned toward us . 

I don't remember what happened from then but I know it was amazing .
