After the sleep over Dolly went home. School would start again the next day. Skyler was awake and made breakfast for them both. He sat down and waited for his sister to come home. Soon she did. She sat down and began to tell about the sleep over and how much fun she had. Skyler listened to her and smiled. But Dolly didn't tell about the emberessing part.
''Skyler... I have something to tell you and promise me you won't tell anyone.''
''You can trust me Dolly. I won't tell anyone. I promise.''
''Okay... You know that girl I usually help after school?''
''Yes. Venus right?''
''Yes... And... Uh... I think... I have... Um... Fallen... In love... With her...''
Skyler's eyes widened slightly but smiled and went over to her while giving her a big warm hug.
''That's nice... You know what? I also have fallen in love with somebody.''
''It's Jackson right?''
''How did you know?''
''You're easy to read Skyler. There is nothing you can hide from me.'' Dolly smiled and hugged him back.
''That's true...'' Skyler laughed a little and kissed her forehead.
''I love it here Skyler... I'm very happy that we changed schools...''
''Me too.''
They looked at each other and smiled. Everything was almost like a dream...
The next day they went to school where they met all their friends. After school Skyler went to practice and Dolly went to Venus. But this time they didn't do much.
''You like plants right?'' Dolly asked.
''Of course I did. Even I'm a plant.''
''Really?''
''I'm not joking.'' Venus smiled then looked at the clock.
''Maybe I should get going now...''
Dolly without thinking just grabbed her hand.
''Would you like to come at my place? I want you to see my garden.'' Dolly said with big eyes. Venus smiled and nodded.
''Sure. I'll just call my parents first...''
''Okay...'' She slowly let go from her hand and looked down. She couldn't believe that she just took it like that... It made her heart beat faster.
Soon Skyler went out from the school building.
''Skyler... Today I would like to show Venus our garden.''
''Alright. Is it okay for her too?''
''Yes.''
''Great.'' Skyler smiled and began to walk towards their house while Dolly and Venus followed. Dolly still couldn't believe that she actually asked her to come... And she said yes... She looked down and was blushing slightly, her heart was still beating fast.
They soon arrived and Dolly quickly went to the garden while Venus followed. She looked around with a smile on her face.
''It looks wonderful Dolly...''
''Thank you Venus. I take care of them everyday and give them love just like you told me.'' Dolly smiled happily.
''Should I show you around inside the house too?''
''If you want to.''
''Then follow me..'' Dolly smiled more and went inside again. She showed the kitchen, the bedroom, the bathroom where Skyler took a shower at the moment and lastly the living room. It was a small house but enough for the two of them. The bedroom was pink and cute while inside the kitchen it wasn't very special. It looked like any other kitchen. While the living room was very small. It had a small couch, some paintings and instuments. Venus noticed the piano and the violin inside the living room.
''Can you play instuments?''
''Yes. Both piano and the violin but my favorite is the violin and my brothers is the piano.''
''That's nice.''
''I can play for you.''
''Really?''
''Of course.'' Dolly went to the violin and picked it up then began to play a wonderful melody. It was a long time ago she played on it. She never really had a reason to play it before but now she wanted to play it for Venus. Dolly played with all her heart, she just poured her feelings into the melody. Venus began to smile more. It was very beautiful.
After a while Dolly stopped to play and put the violin down.
''I hope you liked it...'' She said while she looked down a little.
''I liked it very much. It was very beautiful Dolly.''
Dolly looked up and smiled. It made her so happy to hear that... Now she doesn't want her to leave.
''It's getting late now. I have to go...''
Dolly nodded but she grabbed her hand.
''Alright...'' She said and was still holding her hand.
''We will see each other tomorrow.''
''Yes...'' Dolly held her hand tighter.
''I will let go from your hand... Just let me hold it... A little longer..'' Her grip around Venus' hand slowly loosened and then let her hand go. Venus went to the door and smiled while waving.
''Goodnight. See you tomorrow...''
Dolly waved back and smiled. Then Venus closed the door and walked back home. As the door closed tears slowly fell from Dolly's eyes. She loves her more than she thought... Her heart beats so fast that it hurts... But how did she even fall in love for her so easily? What if... In the end Venus will reject her... The thought made Dolly cry. She didn't want that to happen. But there isn't anything she can do about it. She can't... Force her to love her... So it's really no use to cry over something so stupid.
Dolly slowly took off her eye patch and went to bed without saying anything while she wiped her tears away. She didn't want Skyler to know about it. Soon she fell asleep.
Skyler was chatting with Jackson again before going to bed. Jackson always made Skyler smile, no matter what.
''So which day should we meet?'' Jackson wrote.
''I don't know. But first I have to talk to my sister about it... But I think Friday will be good.'' Skyler wrote back.
''Alright. Then friday after practice.''
''Sounds good.''
''Then see ya in school! Good night.''
''Night.'' He smiled more and closed his eyes. He felt how warm he got. He was so excited to see Jackson again... He makes him feel so happy and warm inside. He even makes his heart beat faster with only his smile. Then Skyler opened his eyes and stopped to smile. He acts so strangely. Thinking about Jackson all the time... He should probably calm down a little bit. He doesn't even know how Jackson feels about him... But Skyler can't think about that. He is already so happy to even have met Jackson. But he still wants more...
