Lumity - Promise

Chapter Eight : Awake

Amity POV
I woke up to the feeling of a tight grip on my hand, my eyes searching the room I was in without turning my head. I blinked a few times before properly trying to adjust my vision, turning my head slightly.

"Wh-what happened?" I muttered, instantly catching Luz's full attention.
"Amity!" I felt warm arms wrap around my shoulders as I slowly sat myself up. Leaning further into Luz's comforting touch, I felt pairs of eyes lock onto me.

I glanced up from Luz's back only to be met with Boscha on my left who leaned forward with concern. Before I questioned the witch's position, I noticed her third eye's attention darting over to my right side. Turning around, I noticed Violet who sat on my chair, her gaze switching from Luz and I every few seconds.

"What?" I hissed, causing Violet to tense up. I instantly regretted asking as I felt Luz's body distance itself away from mine, a confused look sitting on her face.

"I-I wasn't talking to you Luz." I tugged on her arm, gesturing for her to wrap herself into me again.

Unfortunately she either didn't pick up on my gesture, or she declined it because next thing you know, she started questioning me.
"Amity are you okay? What's wrong?" I tensed up by the sudden contact of Luz's hand placed on top of mine.

"What happened?" I asked as my head spun a little from the sudden attempt of getting up. Luz's arms were quick to place on my shoulders, gently pushing me back down. She didn't answer my question as a confused look appeared on her face, rather Boscha answered instead.

"You like, completely blacked out on us after you went into tomato mode." I scoffed at the three-eyed witch before she raised an eyebrow at me.
"Yeah are you like, okay? If it weren't for Luz you probably would've hit the ground pretty hard." Violet started rubbing the back of her neck as she explained what happened.

My gaze was fixated on Violet as she was speaking while my grip on Luz's shirt tightened. She didn't think much of it, in fact it seemed like she was leaning closer into me the longer I held on.

"Uh. Amity? You okay there?" Luz questioned, her hands now resting on my bed.
"Yeah, yeah sorry. Why are we in my room?" My eyes searched the area almost as if I had never been here before.

"Well..." Violet started, rubbing the back of her head again before moving over to Luz.
"Boscha suggested that we go to your room, something about your siblings sneaking us in." I scoffed at the blonde-haired girl before shooting Boscha with an annoyed look, squinting my eyes slightly.

"What?" She asked, but before she could continue on, Luz jumped in, startling me slightly.
"By the way mit- I mean Amity! Amity. Uh, Ed and Em took a photo of you as I carried you into your room." She nervously chuckled, waiting for a response from me.

I felt my face slightly heat up, if it weren't for the thought of Luz carrying me into my room, I would've been raging on about that stupid picture.
"C-carried me?" I started sputtering, earning a laugh from Boscha before a nervous look appeared on Luz's face.

"Yeah u-um, was that okay? I mean I couldn't really ask for your permission but we were running out of options, sorry Amity I-" before Luz could finish her sentence, I found my hand reaching out to hers before I started sputtering.

"No! No that's okay." A wave of relief appeared on Luz's face, making me melt back into my bed with comfort.

Moments passed by as everyone tried to figure out why I passed out, even I didn't know. I wasn't feeling sick or anything, if anything I was feeling a little flustered but what's new there?

Occasionally Luz would place a hand on my forehead to check my temperature.
"Huh, you're a little hot. Are you feeling hot?" I couldn't help but squeak in response as I felt my face heating up more and more.
