Whenever I feel like writing a hurt/comfort story, I'm going to put it in this collection. Enjoy!
Kind of like the second story I wrote, just with better writing skills ;)
Riley was laying face down on her bed, crying like she thought not possible.
Maya came in through the window, looked at her and was shocked at what she saw. She ran over to Riley and exclaimed, "Oh my gosh! Are you okay, Riles?!"
Riley didn't even look at her. She just continued to cry.
Maya got up on the bed next to her and started to gently rubbed her back.
Riley still didn't look up.
Maya rested her head on Riley's shoulder and sighed, wishing there was more she could do.
Riley finally reacted and roughly shoved Maya away.
Maya fell off the bed and landed with a thud. "Ouch! Riley!" Maya exclaimed, knowing that she was definitely going to bruise after that fall.
Riley didn't say anything as she continued to cry.
Maya sat up and peered over at Riley again, almost afraid to attempt to comfort her again. But she pushed that thought aside and cautiously got closer to Riley again.
Riley finally looked up at her, her eyes puffy and red. It was almost as if Riley couldn't pick an expression to make, looking angry then sad then happy then confused.
Maya didn't say anything this time. She just reached out her hand and touched her cheek.
Riley quickly jerked away, which only confused Maya more.
Maya decided to back off, that is, until Riley decided to talk.
Riley finally whispered under her breath, "Why are you here? It's not like you actually care about me or anything..."
Maya's eyes widened. "What?! I do care, are you crazy? Why would you even say that?!"
Riley looked away and whispered, "I don't believe you... How could someone like you ever like someone like me...?"
Maya bit her lip "You're right, I don't like you." She paused, letting that sink in, then continued, "I love you. I've always loved you, Riles."
Riley looked over at her. "You're just saying that; you never did."
Maya's eyes filled with tears as she yelled, "I do love you! You're the best thing that has ever happened to me!"
Riley looked away again, leaving Maya feeling sad and confused.
Maya decided to try and get closer again, resting her chin on the edge of Riley's bed.
This time, however , Riley didn't shove her away, rather, she just looked at her again.
Maya inched little closer, then didn't move anymore.
Riley flinched at their closeness, but didn't do anything to change it.
Maya quickly kissed her on the cheek and jumped back, hoping that Riley would accept it.
Riley broke down into tears again. "Maya... I'm sorry..."
Maya leaped up onto the bed next to her and set her on her lap.
Riley continued to cry as she hugged Maya tightly.
Maya hugged her back just as tight and whispered, "I love you," into her ear.
"I love you too. So much, Maya," Riley whispered back.
Maya wanted to cry, but she stayed strong for Riley. Maya softly kissed her on the forehead then the cheek, showing how deep that love went.
Riley relaxed more in Maya's arms, leaning her head against Maya's.
The two then decided to move to a more comfortable position. Maya pressed her back against the head board and Riley sat in front of her and leaned back into her. Maya ran her fingers through Riley's hair and softly hummed.
Riley relaxed, finally feeling safe with her.
Maya didn't want to ask why Riley acted so weird earlier, so she just dropped it. She cared more about her state now. Riley seems more relaxed, so she just left it at that.
Riley leaned around and laid a soft kiss on Maya's cheek. "Thanks for everything."
Maya smiled. "You know I'd do anything to help you."
Riley smiled back. "I know you would and that's why you're my best friend." Then she turned around and faced Maya.
Maya had a small smile on her face.
Riley took both of Maya's hands and tugged on them, making Maya sit up.
Maya cocked her head to the side. "Why'd you do that? I thought you wanted to snuggle with me?"
Riley smiled. "I do, but I want to do this first." She then touched her forehead to Maya's and wrapped her arms around her neck.
Maya leaned into Riley's touch.
"I'm so sorry about earlier, I don't even know what happened to me. It wasn't you fault just to let you know," Riley whispered, then gave her a soft kiss on the forehead and moved back.
Maya smiled at what she had just said, but didn't reply. She just leaned against the headboard again and opened her arms for Riley.
Riley grinned and jumped into her arms and snuggled into her neck. She wasn't alone, she had her best friend. Always.
