The Glyph Of Love

Willows POV:

Wow. Luz's new girlfriend looks just like Amity Weird. Speaking of Amity, is that her? Why is she running away? Is she crying?

Ever science I patched up things with Amity, we've both been feeling pretty confident, I think. we're more social and we talked with each other a lot. Thats why I was so surprised with how she acted in school today. I saw her running away just when school ended, I'm pretty sure she was crying.

I wasn't intending on following her because I assumed she needs time on her own, but then I saw something falling out of her pocket. Its a note, ok, I guess. Maybe its her note for class, hold on, let me see what it is I froze. No way. No. way.

I ran as fast as I could to catch up with her, and I finally reached her, out of breath. "A.. Am.. Amity?" I said. She stared at me, with tears in her eyes, "a- are you, in love with luz?" It's like the tears vanished from her eyes, and she seemingly became stone cold. "no." she spits out shortly, almost if she'll open her mouth for one second longer, she will burst out crying again.

I open the palm of my hand and I show her the bunched up, clumsily taped together purple piece of paper. She starts wheezing. There, there, I put her head on my shoulder, and I start comforting her. I seriously dont know what to do I took her to her home and I quickly brought her to her room.

Her parents didnt seem to notice the crying blue haired girl in their house. Edric and Emira, on the other hand, were worried sick. She changed clothes into her long tights and long shirt, and I wondered why wasn't she wearing shorts, giving it was pretty warm out. Me, Edric and Emira were sitting by her bed while she was crying. the three of us were clueless. She went downstairs to get a glass of water, so we all went downstairs with her.

The moment we came downstairs her parents started yelling at her passive aggressively; "why are you crying? Your crying is ugly." And "why the heck is willow here? The fact that you're friends is bad enough. Dont bring her to this house." She just blocked out the comment like she had a soundproof wall. But the worst one was: "if you're going to keep crying like that you're never going to get a boyfriend." We. Were all. Pissed. Amity went on a rampage of telling her parents: "MOM. DAD. IV'E TOLD YO THIS A MILLION TIMES BEFFORE. I. LIKE. WOMEN." Which they havent really paid attention to and just smugly replied with: "It's JusT A phase." Which made her even louder and even madder, Edric and Emira joined, in an attempt to protect their little sister.

I've never seen amity like this before, but honestly, I was pissed too, I just wanted to be respectful. She stormed upstairs, with us following her, and we barely managed to squeeze in before she slammed the door on us.

Amity got on her bed and laid down, her shirt got lifted out a little and thats when I saw it; she had bruise marks all over her stomach. Once she noticed she got terrified and pulled her shirt down. I wanted to ask if she's ok but then Edric and Emira pulled their shirt up and collars down to show me bruise marks all over their bodies and signaled me to zip it. I was shocked. I mouthed: "why" and they shrugged and rubbed their neck, they were uncomfortable. I could tell.

She took out her scroll and tried to text luz. When I noticed I circled a vine and grabbed it. I sat next to her and made some aloe vera, I rubbed it on her bruised area, and I told her its going to be ok. She stopped crying for a bit, and then started crying again. Okay, thats progress.

I gave her her scroll back and told her: here, take it. Call me if you need anything. I smiled, a worried smile, but still a smile. I looked at Edric and Emira and told them to take care of her.

I came out of Amity's house and I thought: I hope I'll see her tomorrow at school
