ME: I do! Anyway, in this chapter, Noodle finds out something, she doesn't really want to believe is true. She has to come to the simple fact that, oh, well, just read and find out. Enjoy.

Chapter 10: Only Now I realize

Bry had gone 4 days without much talk of going home. She had even gotten use to 2D and the others, though no real conversations were made. Bry got all of her work done and she taught Noodle some good remedies and herbal lotions with the many plants in Noodle's room.

Noodle loved it. She was able to get Bry to soften up to her, and Bry wasn't asking about going home. She did wake up some nights screaming. Noodle would quickly get up and comfort her. She tried as hard as she could not to give away hidden emotions she had for the girl. Every day Noodle would sit down in the plant room in the morning and think, " I don't really have emotions for Bry. We are both girls," this is what she said the early morning of the fifth day. Bry was yet to awake. Noodle leaned back in one of her chairs in the plant room. "Besides, I only am interested in her voice. She has sung everyday she has been here. She has to be happy." Noodle could help it no longer as one last thought came to her head, "Besides, if I did love her, we are both girls. She would never... never..., love me." As she said the last sentence aloud, tears broke past her eyes. She began to cry. The lasts thing she wanted to do was cry.

She put her hand over her eyes. She tried to rube away tears, only to have new ones form. She finally gave up and let them fall. She leaned forward now. Her head low, she spoke low, "God, I asked for a few things. Why do you give me this punishment? I can't love her, I can't!" She had her eyes closed shut. But now they shot open, "Or, am I afraid? I am scared of what she will think. She will hate me." Noodle began to cry new tears. She let these ones fall.

A door opened slowly. Noodle took no notice, she barely realized that Bry was in the room. She wouldn't have known had Bry not gently touched her shoulder, "Noodle-sama, do not worry. You will be ok." Bry said as Noodle looked up. Noodle could only think to herself, 'I pray to all of my gods, you didn't hear me.'

Bry gave her a comforting smile. She pulled up a chair next to her and replaced her hand on Noodle's back.

Noodle wanted to brush it off and turn away. But she couldn't, the gentle touch of Bry's hand. The way it made her calm. She felt tired. She took a mental note that her tears stopped falling. Her face began to cool down. A question popped into her head, "Did your mom teach you that?"

Bry only gave a gentle smile, "Well, yes, when ever I cried, she was there, till she left."

Noodle sat back, "I bet your boyfriend misses you."

There was a long pause. Then, a very gentle laugh, "I have no boyfriend. I don't need one. Not yet at least. Although, 2D would be kind of hot though, to go out with and all."

Noodle glared to a blank space of the room, "Yeah, if you like half backed dorks!" She laughed, hiding her jealousy.

Bry did to, "You have a point. Besides, going out with someone famous, I would hate all of the attention, not to mention reporters."

Noodle looked down, "I would keep them away from you." She mumbled.

Bry gave her an odd look, "What did you just say?"

Noodle blushed, "Nothing. I just thought people now and days went out with others for money."

Bry gave a laugh, "I don't know about you, but I want someone who will love me. Money and looks are a bonus for me. Hell, if Murdoc was nice to me, I would go..." Bry didn't finish. Noodle covered her mouth before she could say another word, "Don't ever say that! It is extremely gross."

Bry and Noodle both looked into each other's eyes. Then they broke out in laughter. "Okay, I wont ever say that again." Bry said smiling, "But, you have to tell me why you were crying."

Noodle got a feeling in her stomach. She gave a small sigh, "Did you ever love someone, and yet know that they will never love you back?"

Bry paused. She gave Noodle a stern look, "Yes. I did. And I do." Then she looked at the ground, "Sometimes, you have to face facts though. You have to learn that something's, will just never happen, or they shouldn't be, till you take action." Bry gave Noodle a look. Noodle shuddered. It was a good shudder though. Noodle liked it. It made her happy. She gave Bry a hug, "Thank you. I think I understand."

Bry hugged back, "I really hope you do." As Bry held on to Noodle. She gave a look of sadness to herself. As if she knew something was wrong.

Noodle almost grew sad again when they separated. She smiled, "You should wear your hair up sometime. Let that eye gets some light."

The next day slid by. By the end of the week, Bry's cut had healed. She no longer had headaches, and she had asked Noodle when she would be going home. Friday was today. It was about 5:00, Noodle had just told Bry she was going to go get them a drink of water and was going down stairs. Thats when she bumped into 2D. 2D gave Noodle a glare, and then her pulled her into the next room.

-When I see you

I find myself

I lose my past

I have no help

I love you

But you don't love me

Why does god

Do this to only me

He could poison me

Drown me,

I will happily die,

To get that one, only reply.

For you to tell me that you love too.

I want to only be with you.

-Noodle

Chapter 10, end. Well, that is another chapter complete. This is kind of cool. I think the hardest thing to do of all is, try and spell right. Hehe.
