Took you long enough, slowpoke. Thanks, though... uh, for real.
Yep. No prob. Anything else you need?
looks away Yeah, actually... Could you maybe stay a bit longer? I... I don't want to be alone right now.
Sure thing. I sit across from her How ya doing?
You know, just peachy. Totally and completely peachy.
sighs You hate being in this wheelchair just as much as I hate my life, don't ya?
Well, aren't you just a barrel of laughs today? You know what? Go screw yourself. At least I'm still breathing.
Geez... Okay.... stutters Sorry....
Don't feel sorry for me, alright? And don't you dare feel sorry for yourself. We're both still here, alive, breathing, and that's what counts.
Look, LavenderAmusement, I... I've been thinking... Maybe it's time for both of us to stop dwelling on our problems and start moving forward.
O-okay.... How would we do that...?
bites lip Well, first things first, we gotta start making some changes around here.
T-to what...? I mean sure....
Listen, you and me, we can't keep wallowing in self-pity forever. It's not healthy, and it's not gonna get us anywhere.
Look, I know I haven't always been the nicest person to you, but... things have changed. And I'm willing to start fresh if you are.
W-wait.....What about our arguments?....We used to hate each other, Alexis.....
smiles awkwardly Yeah, well... people change, okay? I'm not that same girl anymore. And if you're willing to give me a chance, I am too.
I go over to her then plops onto her lap and sighs while laying my head on her stomach So.....How should we start then...?
stammers, face turning red W-Well, uh... clears throat How about we start by getting out of this house? Maybe go for a walk or something.
takes a deep breath Look, LavenderAmusement, there's something I need to tell you. It's about how I ended up in this wheelchair...
If it helps, I'll listen.....
hesitates, tears welling up in her eyes It was... it was a really bad fall... from a rooftop... I... I thought I was gonna die...
No, it wasn't like that. I didn't jump... I... I slipped... I was trying to escape... someone... who was hurting me... voice breaks
A-are you alright...? wipes her tears
takes a deep breath Yeah, I'm fine. It's just hard to talk about it sometimes.
It's okay....if you don't wanna talk about it...that's perfectly fine......You don't need to explain or describe everything....I understand.....it is scary......it's ok......I pat her back gently while resting my head on her shoulder
sniffs, wipes away tears Thank you... for understanding. It means a lot to me. takes a deep breath Maybe... maybe we can help each other heal, yeah?
Mhm......And also...Alexis......I also wanted to say....Before, you bullied me because I was lonely.....But I really appreciate you having me take care of you.....Thank you for that.....It's fine if you don't want to be around anyone......That's why I'm here....if you ever need to talk or hangout....I'm more than happy to be by your side.....because....because.....I clear my throat Because I have feelings for you....
taken aback, blushes deeply W-What?! F-Feelings for me? B-But... why? I mean, we used to hate each other! And I was such a bitch to you! I don't deserve someone like you... voice trails off
chuckles softly I wouldn't be here otherwise... So I guess I have pretty shitty taste, huh?
looks down, smiles softly Well, lucky for you, I have pretty shitty taste too then. Because I have feelings for you too, LavenderAmusement.
Really?......Smiles happily while blushing....Hey, do you wanna go outside then?.....or watch some cartoons..?......it's fine.....whatever you want.....
grabs LavenderAmusement's hand Let's go outside. I want to feel the wind on my face, even if it's just for a little while.
laughs softly Hey, I have an idea. How about we go to the park and ride the Ferris wheel together? I heard they added a new, slower one for people like me.
Ok....do you want to bring some snacks....?
rolls her eyes playfully Snacks? Of course, I can never resist snacks. We'll need some popcorn, cotton candy, and maybe even some fried doughnuts.
chuckles lightly Alright, all those sugary treats. Sounds like a date! Just remember, if you try to trick me into taking you to the old roller coaster, I'm out.
raises an eyebrow Challenge accepted, slowpoke. I promise, no old roller coasters. Only the best, most thrilling rides for you.
