-Marley's POV-
"Unique I need to tell you something"
"Okay, what?" Unique asks me when I don't make a move to say anything else.
Come on Marley, she's the closest thing you have to a best friend, besides Kitty of course
I know, I know! And I want it to stay that way
Just tell her okay? She'll be fine with it
How do you know?
I don't, I just said that to make you feel better
Well it didn't!
Jeez, can't blame a girl for trying
You're really not helping right now!
"Um, it's about Kitty" I stutter and Unique looks kind of mad now, did I say something wrong?
"What did that bitch do now?" she asks accusingly and I feel a little angry that she called Kitty a bitch, but I calm myself down because Unique doesn't know about me and Kitty yet, she probably thinks that Kitty slushied me or something.
"Nothing, Kitty didn't do anything" I reassure her and I can see she doesn't fully believe me but thankfully she lets it go.
"Alright then, what about her?" she asks me curiously and this is it, I have to tell her…I don't think I can do this, yes I can, no I can't, I can do this, oh gosh no I can't-
For the love of god, just tell her!
"We're together!" I almost yell and I clamp my hand over my mouth while Unique gasps dramatically, both of us surprised at what I just said.
"Say what now?" Unique asks me when she's calm down from her long gasp; I look down shyly and play with the hem of my sleeve.
"Me and Kitty, we're kind of…a thing?" it sounds more like a question than a statement, but at least Unique isn't freaking out…that much.
"Okayyy…so when did that happen?" she asks me and I'm really surprised with how calm her voice sounds right now.
"Wait, you don't mind? You're not gonna stop being my friend?" I ask her hesitantly and she laughs a little before answering me.
"Marley, girl you're my closest friend at this school, just cause I don't really like somebody you like doesn't mean I'm gonna drop and leave you" she tells me seriously, I laugh and go in to hug her and she happily accepts.
"So, tell me all the deets!" she says to me excitedly and I laugh loudly, the old librarian lady shushes us and my face turns a deep red, whereas Unique just looks annoyed at our interruption. I mouth a quick 'sorry' to the old lady and turn back to Unique, excited to finally have someone to talk to about Kitty.
"Okay so she's nothing like she is at school, she's kind, she's funny, she's incredibly sweet, she's protective, she's cute and she makes my heart go crazy" I tell Unique with a dreamy smile on my face and I can see Unique really wants to squeal with excitement, but doesn't in case old lady shushes us again.
"Oh you got it bad" she tells me and I bite my lip and nod at her.
"So come on tell me, how is she?" Unique asks me and I stare at her confused, how is she what? Unique sees my confusion and stares at me with a 'really?' look on her face.
"Kissing Marley, kissing" she finally tells me and I make an 'O' shape with my mouth while blushing furiously.
"She's…Really, really good" I tell her while we giggle together, man it's so great to finally be able to talk about this stuff.
"Come on Marley tell me more, what's it like?" she asks me and I sigh happily, leaning my chin on my hand.
"It's like, we're the only two people in the world, nothing else matters. When I'm with her I feel the happiest and safest I've ever been. I mean when she kisses me, I see fireworks and my heart cartwheels and flips at the same time. When she holds me I feel like nothing can hurt me and when we hold hands, it's like they fit together perfectly and I just…I just…" I sigh with a bright smile on my face, thinking about my Kitty. I look over to see Unique's reaction and she's looking at me with a knowing smile.
"I'm starting to think Kitty Wilde isn't so bad after all" Unique says after a few moments of sitting in silence, I chuckle a little and nod at her.
"Definitely not bad at all…Unique I think…I think I love her" I say to her with a bright smile and this time Unique doesn't hold in the squeal of excitement as she hugs me and I laugh loudly. The librarian lady shushes us loudly and we both throw her a look of annoyance before going back to our conversation.
"Aww, my girl's in love" Unique says to nobody in particular and I giggle again at finally admitting it to someone.
"But hey, if she hurts you I'm gonna kick her Wilde-cat ass" she tells me with a straight look on her face, before we both burst into a fit of giggles again, trying to be quieter this time though.
"She's not gonna hurt me" I promise her, because I know Kitty would never hurt me.
"Okay, so I'm guessing that jacket your wearing is hers?" she asks me and points to the slightly baggy brown leather jacket I'm wearing. I forgot to give it back to Kitty, so I wore it to school to give it to her but I guess I forgot again when she came in the kitchen where me and my mom were…I'll just give it to her later.
"Oh right, yeah, I was cold so she gave me her jacket and I forgot to give it her back" I explain and Unique smiles at me, while I unconsciously pull the jacket closer around me.
"Hmm she gave you her jacket? This is pretty serious huh?" it sounds more like she's telling me rather than asking me, but I answer her anyway.
"Well I think so…It's not exactly official, I mean she hasn't asked me to be her girlfriend or anything yet" I tell her timidly, still wondering why Kitty hasn't asked me yet, starting to get self-conscious again, maybe it's because of my body?
"Don't worry about it, I'm sure she'll ask you soon" Unique reassures me and I smile gratefully at her, the bell interrupts what I was about to say next and we stand up from our chairs and grab our bags. We both have a free period now so I'm going to go talk to my mom and give Kitty her jacket back, although I don't really want to because it's really warm and it reminds me of Kitty. I pull my backpack straps over both shoulders and grab my books before walking out into the hallway with Unique.
"So are you trying out for Grease later today?" I ask Unique excitedly, I'm so excited for Grease; it's one of my favourite musicals of all time and I've always wanted to play Sandy.
"Hell yeah! I was born to play the part of Rizzo, who are you trying out for?" Unique asks me and she looks really confident about playing the part of Rizzo, I wish I was that confident about playing Sandy.
"I'm gonna try out for Sandy" I tell her nervously and Unique notices this and gives me a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry, you're gonna own that part" she tells me and I smile at her, but my nerves haven't really gone away.
"Thanks, but Unique I really have to go now, I have to go and meet my mom and Kitty" I tell her apologetically, slowly starting to walk backwards. Unique waves me off and smiles at me understandingly.
"It's ok, go meet your girl" she says wiggling her eyebrows, I laugh and turn around to go meet my mom and Kitty.
…
(In the Kitchen)
"So sweetie, are you going to try out for Sandy?" my mom asks me while chopping up some vegetables. I sigh and rest my cheek on my hand.
"Yeah" I say to her but she can tell that I'm not that happy about it and looks at me confused.
"Sweetheart why are you so sad? You've always wanted to be Sandy" my mom asks me, still pretty confused and I sigh again before answering her.
"I have mom but what if I'm not good enough?" I ask her with a shrug and look down, fiddling with the hem of Kitty's leather jacket. My mom drops her knife and tilts my chin up with her two fingers.
"Now you listen here Marley Rose, if there's one thing you are, it's good. And there's no one who could play that part better than you" she tells me seriously and a small smile appears on my face as I lean in to hug my mom.
"Thanks mom, I love you" I tell her while squeezing her and she squeezes me back just as tightly, besides Kitty, my mom gives the best hugs ever.
"I love you too Marley, so much" My mom tells me and I almost tear up at how honest she sounds. After a few moments of holding on to one and other, I pull back and take in a deep breath before saying.
"I need to go find Kitty now mom, I have to give her, her jacket back" I tell her and my mom smiles and nods.
"Okay sweetie, I'll see you later" my mom says while going back to chopping up some vegetables and I wave at her and walk out the kitchen, heading into the hallway on my search for Kitty. Hmm, first I'll try her locker.
…
Fortunately, Kitty actually was at her locker, clearing it out. I bite my lip and walk up to her and tap her on the shoulder. She jumps a little and turns round to look at me in surprise which I can't help but giggle at. I see her smile when she sees it's me though.
"Hey Marley" Kitts says to me with a big smile and closes her locker while fully turning around to face me, resting casually on her locker.
"Hey Kitty, I forgot to give you your jacket earlier" I tell her apologetically and I move to take the warm leather jacket off, but her hand comes up to stop me.
"No it's ok, you keep it. It looks better on you anyway" she tells me with a charming smile, and I swoon at how sweet she is.
"Really?" I ask her smiling widely.
"Really, really" she smiles and I move forward and wrap my arms around her neck bringing her into a tight hug. She's surprised at first but then melts into the hug with me.
"Not that I'm not loving this, cause trust me I am, but what's this for?" Kitty asks me but makes no move to move away, and I just wrap my arms tighter around her shoulders.
"I missed you today" I murmur into her shoulder and pull her in closer.
"I missed you too Marley" she mumbles back to me, now to anyone passing by this will just look like a friendly hug, but if they look closer they would easily be able to tell that we're a lot closer than being just friends.
A throat clearing behind us brings us out of our hold on each other and we both turn to see who broke us out of our moment. Luckily, it was only Unique.
"Sorry to break this up but Marley I wanted to ask you if you'd wanna audition with me for Grease?" Unique asked me with a smile and I smiled back and nodded in conformation.
"Yeah sure, that'd be great" I smile at her and she gives me a quick 'okay' before walking away, leaving me and Kitty alone again. I turn to her to see she has a big smile on her face; I raise my eyebrow at her slightly.
"You're trying out for Sandy?" she asks me and I'm surprised she knew, cause I hadn't told her yet.
"Um yeah, how did you know?" I ask her and she smiles at me and looks around the hallway to see if anyone's around, there isn't so she reaches out and takes my hand, and I feel sparks ignite inside me when our skin makes contact.
"I know you Marley" she smiles and I blush, smiling shyly back.
"Yeah well, I don't even think I'll get the part, I'm not good enough" I tell her, my mom's helped a little earlier but I'm still self-conscious, especially about wearing that black, skin tight suit, definitely not looking forward to that.
"Hey Marley, listen to me, that part is yours and don't you think for a second that you're not good enough. You're the greatest person at this school, not to mention the best singer by far; I mean you have the voice of an angel" Kitty tells me, looking into my eyes and I can see she's being honest and I nod at her, smiling at her words and leaning into her as she wraps her arms around me protectively.
She holds me for a few minutes before the bell goes and I sigh and pull out of the hug sadly. Kitty notices that I'm sad and smiles cutely at me and tucks a strand of my hair behind my ear.
"Hey, I'll see you soon okay?" she says to me, still smiling which automatically makes me smile too and I nod.
"Yeah, see you soon" I say softly and she winks at me quickly before walking away to her class. I sigh happily and turn around to walk to my locker. I open it up and look at the mini whiteboard I put in there that says 'I love my mom', I love that thing. I see in the corner of my eye that someone's coming towards me, so I turn my head and see that Ryder guy, the footballer.
"Hey, I'm-" I cut him off before he can finish.
"Ryder, I know, you were awesome in the last football game" I tell him politely, the main reason I'm smiling is because I'm still happy about my earlier encounter with Kitty. I go to introduce myself, but he cuts me off also.
"Marley Rose, I know, your mom's pretty awesome" he tells me with a smile and I'm surprised for a second that someone in this school other than Kitty actually likes my mom.
"You know my mom?" I ask him, smiling genuinely at him this time.
"Yeah, she's cool, she gives me extra meatballs" he tells me which makes us both laugh a little.
Um Marley, what the hell are you doing?
What?
Why are you flirting with this Justin Bieber guy?
What?! I'm not flirting! I'm being nice; you should try it some time
I'm going to ignore that last comment and tell you to stop flirting!
I am not flirting! Leave me alone
Fine but this can only end badly
No it's not; something needs to start to be able to end
…
Okay so a lot happened in the past few days. The audition went great and I got the part of Sandy! I was so happy and I spent the whole night on the phone with Kitty, telling her how it went, she was really happy for me too. Ryder got the part of Danny, which was ok I guess, at least it's not some complete stranger. Kitty doesn't really like him and she's not so happy that we might have to kiss in the play, but once a promised her it wouldn't mean anything and it's just acting, she was ok with it…partly. Jake had also auditioned for Danny but he lost to Ryder, I think he only did it because he might like me, but I'll never like him back, especially since I have Kitty, poor guy.
Rehearsals were fun but when we got to the part where I had to wear that skin tight black suit, I refused to put it on. That's when things started getting bad. I've always been self-conscious about my body, but I've never actually acted on it, well until now. Lately I've been forcing myself to throw up, I know it's wrong and disgusting but I can't help it. At first it was just to get rid of some fat that I saw, but then it started to become a regular thing and I can't seem to stop. It's just, all my life I've seen my mom get bullied because she was fat and I don't know, I guess I don't want that to happen to me, and what that jock said a few days ago (the one that Kitty beat up) about me putting on weight, definitely didn't help.
Man, I feel so guilty and bad that I'm doing this to myself, Kitty tells me I'm beautiful every day and she really looks like she means it but I don't see what she sees. I keep telling myself that I should stop; I know bulimia is a serious problem but I can't stop. I haven't been eating much either, I skip lunch at school and hardly eat anything when I get home, telling my mom that I've had a big lunch and that I'm not hungry, which is obviously a lie.
I've been so busy with Grease rehearsals that I've hardly seen Kitty at all, which is making it worse. Without her with me, telling me that I'm beautiful, I do it more often. I can't tell Kitty about this, it's too embarrassing. Gosh, I'm so hungry. But I can't eat anything, I won't.
Oh great there's the bell, Grease rehearsals now. Yay.
…
-Kitty's POV-
I'm worried about Marley. I haven't spent time with her in a while now, sure we talk on the phone sometimes but that's it. Every time I see her at school she looks kind of pale and thin. I refuse to think Marley would ever do something like starve herself though; she just wouldn't do that to herself.
Wouldn't she?
What?
Come on Kitty think about it, she's always been pretty self-conscious about herself and she might have acted on it
No, no Marley wouldn't do that
How do you know?
…I don't, I'm hoping
I think you should talk to her
And say what?
I don't know, figure it out yourself, I can't do all the work here!
Fine, I'll talk to her after the production
We'd had a week of rehearsals now, every day and today was the day of the production. I didn't want a big part, so I was just in one scene, well one song really. I'd been watching Marley in rehearsals and she seemed happy when she was singing, as she always is but when it comes to the last scene, when Sandy changes and becomes a bad girl for Danny, she looks really uncomfortable and she hasn't put on the black suit in any of the dress rehearsals. She's really starting to worry me.
We're more than half way into the production now and I done my part in the play, so I'd gotten out of that itchy white dress and changed into some simple jeans and a black t-shirt, I couldn't stay in that costume any longer, it was gross. I look around backstage for Marley and I can't find her, which is weird because she's supposed to be going on stage soon.
"Hey Unique, do you know where Marley is?" I ask Unique, trying not to sound too desperate but I can't help the worry show in my voice.
"I think I heard her say she was going to the bathroom?" Unique offers and I smile a quick thanks before running off towards the closest bathroom. Once I find one, I walk in slowly.
"Marley?" I drawl out, looking around the lit bathroom.
"You in here?" I ask into what seems like an empty bathroom, I sigh and turn around, about to walk out until I hear a weird gagging noise. My head snaps back around at the sound.
"Marley?" I ask urgently, hoping to god it's not her. I hear another gagging noise and a few choking sounds and quickly walk towards the stall the noises are coming from and open the door. I see my sweet little Marley leant over the toilet with two of her fingers stuck down her throat while tears rolled down her face. My heart breaks at the sight and I quickly spring forward and kneel on the cold, hard floor and gently grabbing onto her shoulder.
"Stop! Marley, stop!" I demand her softly and she turns around and jumps into my arms, sobbing loudly and I run my hand through her hair, shushing her.
"I'm sorry Kitty, I'm so sorry" she chokes out and clings onto me, like I'm her lifeline or something.
"Hey, come on Marley don't apologize. Just, why are you doing this?" I ask her softly, still stroking her hair and rocking her gently.
"I'm…I'm just a joke, everyone makes fun of me and some people call me fat and they're right, I am fat!" she wails into my shoulder and I put both my hands on her cheeks and make her look at me.
"Marley listen to me alright? You. Are. Beautiful. The most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life and those idiots are just jealous of you. Don't listen to them okay, listen to me. You're amazing and you mean everything to me Marley, you're perfect just the way you are. And you shouldn't do this to yourself, alright?" I tell her seriously, looking deep into her blue eyes that seem to have lost some of their brightness. I'm trying really hard not to cry right now, but I know I can't, Marley was there for me when I was hurt so now it's my turn to be there for her.
I wipe away her tears with my thumb softly, as she starts to calm down. I lean up and plant a soft kiss on her forehead, lingering for a few moments before pulling away and looking at Marley to see that she's stopped crying now, only sniffling and she is smiling faintly. She takes a few deep breaths before finally speaking.
"I can't go out there Kitty, not in front of all those people" she says to me frantically and I know she's scared and doesn't want to wear the skin tight suit.
"Hey, yes you can. You can because you're Marley Rose, you're the girl that comes to school every day with a big smile on her face even though idiots make fun of her and her mom, you're the girl that has the most amazing voice in the whole entire world, you're the girl that is perfect and is so beautiful on the inside and out. And if she wants, I know that girl can do anything" I tell her and I see the fear start to leave her eyes, being replaced by a little bit of happiness which makes me smile.
"You really think so?" she asks unsure that I'm telling the truth or not, but I really am, I swear I meant every word.
"I know so Marley" I promise and lean in to softly kiss her reddening cheek. When I pull back I see that some of the sparkle had returned to her eyes and she's smiling faintly at me, I hold her hands in mine and suddenly remember that Marley was supposed to be on stage.
"Come on Mar, I think you're needed on stage…and my butt's getting numb from sitting on this cold, hard floor" I joke, trying to make her less nervous and it seems to work a little since she giggles and accepts my hand in helping to pull her up from the bathroom floor.
"So I guess I have to change clothes now?" she asks me, starting to get scared again and I nod slowly to her. Her breathing starts to get a little faster and I put my hands on her cheeks, making her look into my eyes.
"Hey, hey look at me, I'm right her and I'm not going anywhere okay? You're gonna be fine and you'll do great Marley alright? Just calm down" I tell her softly and she closes her eyes and try's to calm herself down, I decide to try something else and lean forward to press my lips against hers. She's a little surprised at first but I don't pull away, trying to put everything into this kiss. It's not long before Marley melts into the kiss and starts kissing me back as well. It lasts a few seconds but I know that this will help Marley calm down and hopefully get her mind off things for a little while.
I pull away slowly and rest my forehead against hers, her eyes are still closed and she looks like she's slightly in a daze.
"You're gonna be amazing" I whisper to her before pulling away completely and walking out the bathroom, giving her some time to herself.
I head back to the auditorium to see how things are doing and Marley is supposed to be on stage very soon, hopefully she'll come out of the bathroom and get changed. To keep myself busy I go and help out some random person with their costume, seeing that they're having some kind of problem with it.
A few minutes later I start to get really worried again, since I still haven't seen Marley since our encounter in the bathroom and she's supposed to be on stage for the last number in a couple of minutes.
However, my worry is washed away when I see one Marley Rose walking towards me nervously, wearing a skin tight black suit, exactly like the one Sandy wears in Grease. She's got her hair up and is wearing some makeup on her face. To sum it up, she looks…wow.
Okay, okay keep your thoughts to yourself
Whatever do you mean?
You know exactly what I mean, you and your dirty mind
Can you blame me? Look at her!
Okay, I see your point but still you horn dog
I am not a horn dog!
"Hey" Marley greets, looking pretty nervous and I can see she's fidgeting quite a lot.
"Marley, you look…you look…just wow" I manage to get out, still a little in shock at how my sweet, innocent Marley looks. She blushes and looks down to the floor.
"Really? You don't think I look fat?" she mutters and I widen my eyes in shock that she would ever think that I would think that.
"What? Never, you're perfect Marley" I tell her seriously, dipping my head slightly so that she's looking at me and I see her blush deepen as she bites her lip to stop herself from smiling. Our little moment gets interrupted by that guy Ryder; I don't like him, mainly because I know he has a thing for Marley.
"Hey Marley you ready- Whoa, Marley you look great" Ryder says to MY Marley when she turns around to look at him and I swear to god if his eyes don't move upwards slightly, they're gonna have to find someone else to play Danny Zuko because I'll kick his ass.
"Thanks Ryder" I hear Marley mumble to him and before Ryder can open his mouth again, Unique rushes up to us and grabs Marley and pulls her away to get ready to go on stage. Marley turns her head to look back at me and I smile at her encouragingly while giving her a wink, which makes her smile widely. God have I missed that Marley Rose smile.
I walk around to the side of the stage so I can have a good view of the performance and as soon as Marley sang the first few words she was amazing, as always. She has the voice of angel and looking at her now, as she's dancing around the stage she doesn't look like that self-conscious girl that she was a few moments ago, instead she looks confident as she moves and to be honest, Marley looks sexy.
I smile widely and nod my head along to the music as I look at Marley letting go and looking happy again. I don't even notice anyone else on the stage apart from Marley, I don't even care that Ryder is looking at Marley in a weird way, I just care about Marley and all I can see and hear right now is her. Man, she is amazing.
…
(Marley's house, a few hours after the play)
-Marley's POV-
God I can't believe I was so stupid, I mean I didn't even think about how much it would hurt Kitty that I was doing this to myself, which makes me feel really guilty. But I can't help but love Kitty even more after all the things she said to me, she was so incredibly sweet and she looked like she actually meant all the wonderful things she said about me.
If it wasn't for Kitty, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have gone out there tonight, especially not wearing that tight suit. She makes me feel better, she makes me feel wanted and I've never felt wanted before.
I've been home for a couple of hours now, which means I've been away from Kitty for a couple of hours and I miss her. I miss her holding me, I miss her kissing me, I miss her sweet words, I miss her charms, I miss her making me feel like we're the only two people in the world, I miss her silly jokes and how she makes me laugh, I miss her romanticism, I miss Kitty.
Wow, you really miss her huh?
Yah think?
I've been lying in bed for an hour now but I can't get to sleep, I keep tossing and turning and I've contemplated about texting or calling Kitty, but I don't want to risk it, not wanting to wake her up if she's sleeping because I've noticed Kitty doesn't sleep much. I sigh and sit up in my bed looking at my alarm clock to check the time, ugh 11 o'clock?! I'm normally out like a light at this time of night!
A tap against my window breaks me out of my thoughts and my head snaps towards the sound, no it can't be. But another tap against my window confirms my thoughts, it is, it's her! I spring out of my bed excitedly and slide open my window and see a cute looking Kitty clinging on to the tree for dear life while she's shivering slightly, I gasp.
"Kitty, what are you doing? Come on inside, it's freezing out here" I tell her as I grab hold of her arm to pull her inside.
"I don't care if the world is ending, I wanted to see you" she says to me, still shivering a little but the colour slowly starting to return to her cheeks. I rub her arms trying to get her warm again and swoon a little at what she just said to me, smiling brightly at her.
"Aww, that's so sweet" I coo slightly at her and she looks to the ground sheepishly. I giggle at her and how adorable she is.
"Yeah, yeah" she says playfully as she opens her arms out wide, an invitation for me to fall into her arms, which I happily do. I squeeze my arms around her shoulders and she squeezes my right back, her arms around my waist.
"I missed you" I mumble into her shoulder, nuzzling my face into the crook of her neck. I hear her chuckle slightly before she answers.
"We've only been apart for a couple hours but I missed you too Marley" she says softly and I smile into her neck and pull back, kissing those lips that I had missed also. She responds almost instantly and kisses me back, her lips are so soft and taste as what can only be described as Kitty. Her lips are so addictive and I can't get enough of kissing her, and I don't think I ever will.
We pull away when air becomes necessary, and she cutely kisses the tip of my nose which makes me giggle slightly. I tug gently on her hand, so she sits down with me on my pink covered bed.
"You were amazing today" she smiles at me and I blush and look down at my sheets, playing with Kitty's fingers absentmindedly.
"Thank you Kitty" I tell her seriously and look into her hazel eyes deeply, she furrows her eyebrows a little and smiles at me.
"It's ok" she says and I can see she looks kind of confused as to why I was thanking her and being so serious when all she said is that I was amazing today, but I wasn't just thanking her for what she said a minute ago.
"I'm not just thanking you for what you just said; I'm thanking you for what you said in the bathroom Kitty. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had the guts to go on that stage today and I definitely wouldn't have been able to put on that tight, black suit. So thank you" I tell her again, she sighs a little and smiles at me.
"Marley there's really no need to thank me, I just gave you a nudge. You're the one that found the confidence to go out there tonight" she tells me honestly and I smile widely and lean in to give her a light peck on the lips.
"Thank you" I whisper against her lips and she smiles and laughs softly.
"You're welcome Mar" she whispers back softly and leans in to give me a quick peck before she starts to pepper kisses all over my face as I giggle hysterically and push her away lightly. Man, I love her.
I can see that
Oh, really?
Of course, a blind man could see you're in love with her
No he couldn't, that's impossible
Sarcasm Marley
Oh, right
"Kitty come on, stop" I giggle at her as she still kisses every part of my face she could see. She laughs softly and pulls away after planting a lingering kiss on the tip of my nose. She looks at me with adoration across her face and I melt when I now realise how sincere she was about everything she had said to me in the bathroom and how sincere she looked right now, maybe she does think I'm beautiful? But what if she doesn't? I don't see how anyone could think I'm beautiful, and every time someone says I'm beautiful or pretty I don't believe them and I think they're just messing with me or joking.
I don't believe my mom because she's my mom, so she has to say that because I'm her daughter. I almost believed Kitty, but there's something in the back of my head that tells me she's lying and she doesn't mean it…
"So Marley I came here to see how you were doing" Kitty tells me, knocking me out of my thoughts and I look up to her and smile.
"I'm fine, really, you don't need to worry about me" I reassure her and I admit I'm not telling the complete truth, I don't think I'm fine but she really doesn't need to worry about me. She looks back at me furrowing her eyebrows, checking to see if I'm lying and I think she can tell I am, but I silently plea with her through my eyes to not worry about me too much and to leave it alone. Thankfully she does and lets out a little sigh and looks up at me.
"I'll always worry about you Marley" she smiles and tucks a strand of my hair behind my ear, her thumb rubbing my cheek softly for a few moments as I smile widely at her, sincerely this time.
"But I gotta go now because I'm supposed to be at home, in my bed but I snuck out because I was worried about you and I missed you, but now I don't want my mom to find out because she'll probably go crazy and-" I cut Kitty off bringing my lips to hers and lingering for a few seconds before pulling away and smiling at her, amused.
"You were rambling" I tell her and the sheepish look on her face makes me giggle a little.
"Sorry but I really do have to go now" she tells me sadly and when I hear her say that, it makes me sad too because she's really the only one that can make me forget about my hideous body.
"I know" I say sadly and she gets up from my bed, walking over to my window and says over her shoulder.
"And you're sure you're alright?" she asks unsure, and I smile at how much she cares about me and reassure her that I'm fine.
"Yes Kitty I'm fine, I'll see you soon?" I ask, trying not to sound too hopeful but failing miserably. She climbs out my window and replies while steadying herself on the tree.
"I'll see you soon, sweet dreams Mar" she smiles at me and I lean in to kiss her cheek softly, pulling away to see a big smile on her face.
"Sweet dreams Kitty" I smile at her as she climbs down the tree and I close the window once she's completely out of sight. I lean my head on the cold glass with a sigh, I miss her already.

-Kitty's POV-
I walk down the dark street with a soft smile and I feel a little weight off my shoulders, because I've finally admitted it to myself.
I'm in love with Marley Rose.
