You are all so cute thank you for your comments and so so so so sooooo sorry for the wait!
Elisa: Oh no! I'm so sorry this chapter is late! My internet broke and I couldn't finish the edits as fast as usual!
Elphaba: That's okay, Elisa. I'm sure the readers will understand.
Fiyero: What's an internet?
Elphaba *Facepalm*
I woke up a few hours later with a strong pain. I turned my head and looked at my wrists. They were covered by a bandage. The sun was still shinning, and it was maybe around four o'clock pm.
"Ah you're finally wake up!"
I looked around and saw Fiyero sitting on the chair next to my desk. He had on a pair of glasses and I found them really cute.
"Why are you wearing glasses?" I asked in a whisper.
"It's only when I'm reading or writing something." He put them on my desk, standing up and walked over to the bed and sat next to me. "But that is not the point. How are you feel?" He took my hand and stroked my wrist with his thumb.
"I'm...Fine, I guess. I don't know. I feel really stupid right now." And it was true. I felt so stupid that Fiyero saw me in this condition.
"Well, yeah. It was a totally stupid and irresponsible thing to do, but who I am to judge you? I saw your wrists, and it's not the first time you've cut yourself, right?" He looked at me with his blue diamonds.
"No, it's not." I answered quietly. I knew that he is going to ask me a lot of questions.
"How long?" He was speaking in a soft voice that made me feel more secure.
"Since I was thirteen..." He looked horrified. "It was in primary school. I was washing my hands in the restroom when four boys and one girl came. They looked at me with a scary look and the boys blocked my harms and legs... The girl took a pen and she...she" I didn't notice that tears started to fill my eyes. "She took a black pen and wrote on my forehead "Artichoke". After that, they left me sobbing on the ground. They also threw all my school stuff, and that's when I saw my pair of scissors and I just... You can't understand how good it felt, Fiyero. For the first time in my life, something was right."
He held me tight while I cried into his chest. He stroked my back while whispering words of comfort to me.
"Shh, it's okay Elphaba. I'm here. Maybe you felt...You feel it's right, but it's not. You're not supposed to do that to yourself. Don't cry, I'm here now."
I looked up at him with tears on my cheeks. He kissed the tears away and smiled at me.
"Why are you so nice to me, Fiyero? You should hate me like everyone else."
"I'm not everyone, Elphaba. And I'm nice because I want to be. Why can't you see you as I do? You're Elphaba Thropp, smart, funny, sweet and beautiful girl."
"No I'm not!"
"I should add stubborn to my list, than." I chuckled lightly and punched him in the ribs. "Ouch! Oz what a punch!"
I chuckled and looked at him. I never thought I would have someone like him in my life. It seems totally crazy and unreal. For the first time, I really wanted to make someone proud of me and stop cutting myself.
"You know Fiyero... I wanted to say thank you." he looked at me, surprised. "Don't be surprised! Nobody has ever been so nice to me, and...I really want to stop hurting myself, for you."
"You don't have to stop for me. Stop for yourself, Elphaba, and I will be happy." he caressed my cheek.
"You know, this is the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me. I'm not used to being treated like this." I felt my cheeks burning. I suddenly remembered Galinda. She tried to be nice to me, but I don't know... She will not take this as well as Fiyero. I don't know. He seemed to notice what I was thinking.
"Hey, Elphaba. Don't worry about this. I won't tell her about any of this."
"It's just, Galinda is kind of... I don't want her to know, and she is your girlfriend." It was hard to say this. "You know, and she will ask you about what happened"
"Galinda is not my girlfriend... Well technically she is, but I don't want to be with her, and... She doesn't need to know everything about me..." He came closer to me. "And what I'm about to do, either..."
"What do you mean by..."
I never finished my sentence because I felt his lips on mine.
