Fiyero: I'm in this chapter too!

Eva: *face palm*

Katherine: *Sigh* It's a good chapter though.

(Back to our green witch POV)

Of course. It was too perfect. What Shen-Shen said hit me hard, because I knew it was true. How could Fiyero be in love with me? Someone green, with scars covering her body and who is always crying because she knows nothing about love. Shen-Shen was right; he will soon remember that Galinda is better for him. During the two hours of class I tried to be focus on the lesson and wrote a lot, around two pages, I think. I wasn't really paying attention, just working for the sake of distraction. But when the bell rang I didn't wait for Galinda or Fiyero, I just took my stuffs put them in my bag and ran out of the class.

"Elphaba!" cried Fiyero as I flew out the door, but I just wanted to be alone, to find my razor, and to cut.

In the dorm I shared with Galinda I threw my bag on my bed and went into the bathroom. I took my razor from the console behind the mirror. I sat on the edge of the bathtub, and began to slowly drag the razor across my wrist. It opened up the scabs that had started to form, which as a new brand of pain I had yet to taste. Oz it'd been long- only four days, but for me it's incredible- and as usual I was not strong enough. Oz, Fiyero will be so ashamed and of course he will leave me... Suddenly, I heard the door slamming. No! I thrust the razor under the water with my wrist to try and cover the blood but it was too late- when I saw the horror in her eyes.

"Ga...Galinda pleasedon'tbemad!" I stammered with tears in my eyes and my voice.

She looked at me and tears started to pool in her eyes and leak down her delicate nose. "Oh my Oz Elphie!" she threw her arms around me and pulled me in a tight hug. "I promise Elphie I'm gonna help you, both Fiyero and I are gonna help you." She was rubbing my back, relentlessly repeating her litany.

"Fae? Galinda? What are you do-"

I looked up even though I'd know his voice anywhere, and saw Fiyero's eyes full of surprise- and hurt as well. It made me start crying heavier.

"Oz Fae" he murmured and walked to Galinda and I and wrapped us tightly and kissed my forehead.

"Fi...Yero... I.. I'm so sorry" I said between my sobs.

"Why are you sorry beauty?" he asked in a smooth voice. "Shhh It's okay. I promised that I would help you, and Galinda knows now, she'll help too," he soothed as he carried me to the bed. He sat down, with me on his lap, and held my wrist out.

Galinda came and sat in front of us and started treating my cuts. I only had time to do two on my left wrist, as he carried me to the bed. He sat down, with me on his lap, and held my wrist as a new brand of pain i and not too deep at that. Nobody was talking. Fiyero was holding me tightly and rubbing my back, my head rested in the crook of his neck as Galinda concentrated on my wrists. She took off the pink elastic -which was covered with blood- and put a new one on my bandage.

"That's it Elphie," she said quietly and took my hand in hers.

I felt ashamed right now. Fiyero and Galinda were obviously scared and now they were just so kind to me. It made no sense, but I as grateful nonetheless.

"Thank you Glin..." I whispered. She looked at me and smiled. I turned and looked at Fiyero who was staring at me with loving eyes. "And thank you Yero." He kissed me lightly then.

"You scared me to death Elphie! Don't do that ever again!" she wrapped me again in a hug.

"I can't promise you that, Glin, I already failed," I confessed.

"Elphaba look at me," Fiyero pleaded. I kept looking at my feet. "Please..." and then brown met blue, "You didn't fail me or anyone. It's just that old demons are hard to let go. Shen-Shen was just horrible to you. Don't listen to her. Listen to the people who really love you- Galinda and I. Okay?"

I nodded without a word.

"What did you say to Shen-Shen when I left?" I blurted. Knowing him and his pride, I assumed he wouldn't let her go without a fight.

He smiled. "I gave her a piece of my mind." He started laughing, "You should have seen her face! She was so scared!"

"What did you say to her? Because Shen-Shen scared- that scares me," I asked in a small voice. I really was curious.

"Well..." he suddenly seemed embarrassed. "I just told her that it's not good to insult the probably-future-queen of the Vinkus..." Galinda and I gasped but probably not for the same reason.

"Oh my Oz Fifi that is soooo romantic!" she cried before bouncing up and dancing around the dorm singing "Fifi and Elphie are going to be married!"

I looked at Fiyero who waited for my reaction. I smiled tentatively.

"I- I am not sure how I feel about this- I mean I really don't want to be with anyone else, but- it's- it's a little sudden, and I'll probably want to get acquainted with it, assuming we even do get married, but- thank you. That was sweet."

"You two are the cutest couple ever!" cried an ecstatic Galinda.

Fiyero laughed and pulled me against his chest. I felt- content, which was a surprise considering how I'd felt twenty minutes ago. With their words and attentions Galinda and Fiyero showed me that in Oz, at least two people really cared about me as much I cared about them. For the first time, I felt- love, as if nothing could ever happen to me. I watched Galinda dancing and it just made me smile, I watched Fiyero who aborted his usually smirk, wearing the one he wore when he was happy, and it made my heart miss some beats. I knew that with both of them by my side I would be able to get through everything. I knew it was gonna be hard but I was sure I'd be able to do it.

Eva: What do you think? *hide behind Beta*

Katherine: Don't be ridiculous, it was fabulous!
