One Decision (GirlxGirl)

Chapter 2

*Vicky's POV*

I followed her to the bathroom and when we got there, I pretended to wash my hands while she fixed her eyeliner. Like I said, she looked very pale and sick. I dried my hands and walked away, when I heard a loud thump behind me.
I turned around as fast as I could and saw her lying on the floor, motionless. I ran to her body and tried to shake her awake.
"IVY! IVY! WAKE UP!" I yelled in hopes that someone could hear me.
"Oh god, oh god, why would you do that to yourself" I whispered as I saw her wrists.
There were so many cuts and some of them looked new. My stomach twisted at the thought of her dealing with emotional pain, or even her being in pain. I didn't understand why I cared so much about her despite the fact I've known her for only half an hour.
I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice her opening her eyes and looking at me.
"Uhhh, what h-happened?" was all she could get out. I immediately snapped out of my thoughts and helped her get up. She noticed her sleeves were up and she tried to pull them down without me noticing. But I did. "You need to eat something, you look really pale and really skinny," I said and thought that I shouldn't have said the last thing. I mentally slapped myself and helped her get up. After a moment of silence she spoke.
"Ummm, thanks for the help, I guess," she said silently and rubbed her wrists through her shirt. I noticed her eyes were starting to get watery and I couldn't help but grab her hand.
"It's okay, I'm going through the same stuff myself. if you want to talk to anyone, I'm here," I said and slowly pulled her sleeve up.
She looked away and a few tears escaped her eyes and went down her cheeks.
I revealed the wrist and gasped at the sight.
She looked at me with regret and sadness in her eyes and I pulled her closer to me for a hug. She tightly wrapped her arms around me and cried into the crook of my neck. We both pulled away and I pulled up my sleeves.
She was in shock as I pulled my t-shirt up and revealed more of the cuts in my stomach. Her hand went over them and I felt a jolt of electricity through my body as her hand went down my stomach.
"W-why you? You're like perfect," she said and looked at my wrists, gently running a finger over them. I flinched and pulled my hand away.
"People around me gave me a feeling of hatred and disgust, also I was bullied all the time," I sighed and sat on the floor.
"If no one loves me, why should I love myself?" I questioned and saw her look into my eyes. Only now I have noticed how beautiful they are.
"But you need to know that people do love you, even complete strangers," she added and I blushed at the thought of her liking me.
"Thank you, but my mind isn't gonna change because of some simple words," I said and looked at her.
She looked so innocent and shy, that I couldn't help but blush when she put her hand around me and hugged me.
A few moments later we got up and walked back to our table, just talking about many things. We sat down and started eating little bites of our pizza, which was already cold by now.
It was awkward for me to eat since I wasn't used to it, but she shot me a look and I dug into my piece of pizza.
My stomach felt weird after I ate a few slices, but I knew it was good because I was slowly starting to normally eat again.
When our group finished, we went to the ice cream stand and we chose between 7 different flavors.
I chose chocolate and Ivy chose vanilla. We walked down the path, talked and shared a few laughs.
We walked on the gravel and I accidentally tripped on one of the bigger rocks and my ice cream went directly into my face.
"Erm, Vicky, you have a bit of ice cream on your, well everywhere," she laughed and my stomach did a few flips.
"No, you think?" I said sarcastically and started walking towards the bathroom. I got everything off, then I walked away with Ivy towards the cabin.
"Wait, you have a bit left on your chin, let me get that for you," she said and cupped my cheek.
I suddenly felt a wave of warmth spread across my body and through my cheeks. My heart was almost beating out of my ribcage as she wiped the chocolate off my chin and licked it off her thumb without breaking eye contact. After she pulled her hand away from my cheek we stared into each-other's eyes and I mumbled under my breath.
"That was hot," I mumbled and she gave me a confused look. "What?" She asked and raised her eyebrow.
"N-nothing, nevermind," I stuttered and walked away.
When we arrived to the cabin, I immediately went to grab my guitar and sat down on the bench outside.
I strummed the opening notes to Therapy by All Time Low, it was one of my favorite songs.

My ship went down
In a sea of sound.
When I woke up alone I had everything:
A handful of moments I wished I could change
And a tongue like a nightmare that cut like a blade.

In a city of fools,
I was careful and cool,
But they tore me apart like a hurricane...
A handful of moments I wished I could change
But I was carried away.

Give me therapy.
I'm a walking travesty
But I'm smiling at everything.
Therapy...
You were never a friend to me
And you can keep all your misery.

My lungs gave out
As I faced the crowd.
I think that keeping this up could be dangerous.
I'm flesh and bone,
I'm a rolling stone
And the experts say I'm delirious.

Give me therapy.
I'm a walking travesty
But I'm smiling at everything.
Therapy...
You were never a friend to me
And you can take back your misery.

Arrogant boy,
Love yourself so no one has to.
They're better off without you.

Arrogant boy,
Cause a scene like you're supposed to.
They'll fall asleep without you.
You're lucky if your memory remains.

Give me therapy.
I'm a walking travesty
But I'm smiling at everything.
Therapy...
You were never a friend to me
And you can take back your misery.

Therapy...
I'm a walking travesty
But I'm smiling at everything.
Therapy...
You were never a friend to me
And you can choke on your misery.

I strummed the final notes to the song and a tear escaped my eye. Ivy showed up from the cabin and smiled at me, but that beautiful smile disappeared as she saw my watery eyes.
"What's wrong?" she asked and put her hand on my leg, slowly running up and down.
Immediately my heart started racing and electricity went through my entire body.
"It's just that I remember through how much this song gets me all the time," I sighed and softly chuckled.
"Well, you sang if beautifully. For how long do you play guitar?" she asked and sat down next to me.
"Since I was 12. My dad bought me this fella for my birthday and we've been together ever since," I said as I pretended to kiss my guitar and we both laughed. My hand went to reach for my water bottle, and I opened it, putting it to my lips and letting the cold water slide down my dry throat.
"I totally ship it," she added and I choked on my water, which made us laugh even more.
"You are adorable," she suddenly said and I could feel my cheeks burn like crazy.
"W-what?" I stuttered, since I was still shocked from he words that just left her lips.
"I said you are adorable. And you should be told that more often," she added calmly right away.
"Uh, thank you, you're quite the catch yourself," I nervously laughed and ran my fingers through my hair. She noticed my wrists and she took them in her hands, gently running her fingers over them.
"Hey, let's make a deal. We will not self harm for 2 weeks, and if we don't have the need to anymore, we stop for good. Deal?" she said and looked at me directly in the eye.
"You know what? I could use some changes in my life, so deal," I smiled and gave her a tight hug, which was needed for both of us.
"Who would imagine I could find a friend in a few hours, huh?" I laughed at her comment and looked at her, still smiling.
"Well, I can't keep my awesomeness locked up all the time," she added and sassily snapped her fingers.
"Oooh, looks like someone's a little cocky," I laughed and I felt those butterflies again.
I'm sure now.
I have a crush on her.
