A/N: Part 3... here we go sunshine's.
TW: very, very, very brief ⚠talk of abuse⚠
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Y/n woke up in the middle of the night to see Heather on top of her, cuddled into her. As much as she wanted to smile at this, she still felt like there was some sort of gap between the two. So, she managed to move Heather off of her and laid her down on the bed, she stroked Lily's head placing a small kiss before grabbing a set of keys and heading out.
She obviously put a t-shirt on as well as a zip-up before leaving, she headed outside and simply sat in her car, playing calming music as she tried to think. Her seat was leaned back and the panoramic glass was open yet the proper roof wasn't open, so, she could see outside; she heard the door open and looked to see Heather.
"I saw you not in bed. I thought I'd come find you." Heather expressed as she closed the door and leaned back with Y/n yet on her own chair; Y/n nodded her head letting out a small hum as she didn't know what to say in reply. "Are we okay—?" Heather questioned. Y/n shrugged.
"Don't know." Y/n sighed out. "Shouldn't you be gettin' back to Lily? I don't want her left alone." She added glancing at Heather before looking up at the sky through the panoramic roof.
"And I don't want you to be left alone either." Heather snapped back at her, trying to lighten the mood. Y/n sighed.
"Heather." She huffed out, "I just want to be alone."
"It's not a good idea—"
"I don't care what's a good idea or not." Y/n cut her off; Heather stared her down intently, deeply wanting to know what she had done.
"What've I done?" Heather asked staring her down, Y/n slowly turned her head to Heather, hesitantly. Almost like she didn't want to look at Heather.
"What?" She questioned.
"I've obviously done something to annoy you." Heather sighed out, "What is it? Is it telling Diggins about what we... are? Whatever that it is? Because if it is, then I'm sorry. Okay? I'm sorry." Heather apologised. "I'm deeply sorry, I didn't know that you wanted to keep it a secret and now that Diggins knows... I trust him. I trust him that he won't tell anyone," Heather expressed, Y/n simply staring her down. Her eyes slightly glistening. "and I want you to have that faith in me too. I mean I haven't told Natalie! O-Or... or Bishop—"
"Because he likes you, Heather. He's in love with you and he's been trying to get your attention since forever. I'm not dumb." Y/n sighed out.
"What?" Heather asked confused.
"You know what I said. He likes you, Heather." Y/n sighed out as she sat up. She turned to Heather, "I mean come on, you had to have at least noticed something." Y/n sighed out.
"N-No—! I've been to focused on us."
"Us? What? So, first you say that we're just friends in front of Lily and now there's an 'us'?" Y/n asked.
"Can you please just tell me what your so mad at me at?" Heather sighed out.
"I LIKE YOU!" Y/n snapped at her, "I'VE HAD A CRUSH ON YOU SINCE—" She paused and let out a small groan, she lifted her knees up to her chin and placed her arms over the top, digging her head into arms. Heather stared her down.
"Y-You like me...?" She asked, a small smile tugging on her lips, as dimples started to form. Y/n peaked one eye out and saw her smile, she hid her face back in her arms and nodded her head.
"L-Like a lot..." She said immediately regretting it. Heather chuckled, blush forming on her cheeks,
"I like you too, you idiot." Heather let out, which made Y/n look at her, her eye peaking out again. "L-Like a lot..." She mimicked.
"Oh... r-right..." Y/n hummed out, Heather laughed at this,
"Come here, love." Heather said, opening her arms leaning closer to her; Y/n leaned over to her and Heather cupped her face, placing her lips onto Y/n's. This kiss feeling different from any other which made her grin, the two girls tilting their head as they deepen the kiss.
*****
(I'm just gonna skip to the individual tasks as I cannot be bothered and I'm gonna skip to where it's Natalie's individual task)
Y/n got a text as well as Heather which they both looked at to see a text from Diggins.
"Want to come watch a movie with me?" Diggins texted. Both Y/n and Heather debated it for a moment until they agreed. They said goodnight to Diggins and headed downstairs, when they got to the middle landing, they saw that it was Natalie's individual challenge, they glance at one another.
"What the—?" Y/n let out before Heather cut her off shushing her and looking to see if her car was outside which she couldn't tell.
"I don't think I see her car, come on." Heather said and wrapped Y/n's hand around hers. They head downstairs and into a room.
"Diggins?" Y/n asked looking around trying to find him, they go down three small steps into a small bar area. Heather flipped a switch multiple times until she gave up then the two walked further into the bar room.
"Diggins? I swear to god if you put Porn on that TV, I'm killing you." Heather said which made Y/n let out a small snicker.
"Diggins?" Natalie asked as she came in, "Oh, hey guys." Natalie greeted as she walked toward the door,
"Looks like... we're the supervisors of your individual challenge? I suppose..." Y/n assumed which Heather nodded her head at in agreement.
"I guess so." Heather agreed.
"Ugh, great. Now I have to third wheel." Natalie scoffed out. Y/n let out a nervous chuckle as there was a symbol on the screen, "Is that a clue?" She asked.
"Not so sure..." Y/n mumbled out. "we either wait it out or... there's a video to be watched." She continued.
"Oh, that could be it."
"V-Video?" Natalie reiterated. "W-What?" She asked before the TV turned on where it was her blindfolded and Blind Man's Bluff. (I DON'T KNOW HOW I REMEMBERED THAT! I probs look like a right idiot if I actually didn't get that right, but I can't be bothered checkinggg, so... yeah)
The video started playing with no sound and both Heather and Y/n's faces furrowed.
"Damn, we shoulda brought popcorn." Heather jokingly said.
"Turn it off." Natalie demanded.
"Okay, admittedly, it's not your best look—"
"Turn it off." Natalie repeated.
"Nat, what're you talking about?" Y/n asked as Heather was still completely missing the point yet Y/n could see where this was going. "Heather, cover your ears—"
"What? No. Come on, we're watching Nat, at least be respect—"
"Dodge and I made a deal..." Natalie said in the video.
"full..." Heather mumbled.
"Turn it off!" Natalie groaned out as she started searching for a remote.
"Natalie, what's going on?" Heather asked once again being ignored.
"We're gonna split the money if either of us wins, Heather doesn't know." Natalie explained.
"I guess she'd be... angry?" Diggins assumed.
"Because Heather and I also made the same deal, first." Natalie explained, Heather's face furrowed as she moved her head back slightly, she was already not talking to Bishop and now it was Natalie that she was losing; her heart breaking.
"So, you lied to her?" Diggins asked.
"She lied to me. Besides, I don't care how many points she got at Jump, no way she's gonna win." Natalie expressed in the video, Natalie now in real life tearing us as she slowly shook her head for a few seconds.
"What are we watching?" Heather asked. Not even looking at Natalie, her eyes fixed on the TV.
"She never finishes her stories, and even if she does. She won't do anything with them. She never even applied for college." Natalie in the video exposed as the Natalie right now went from staring at the TV to turning to Heather, she went to speak and looked back at the video. She slowly turned to Heather and Y/n.
"This isn't true... right?" Heather asked moving on her toes back on her heels. "Y-You wouldn't say those things about me, right?" Heather further questioned.
"Even if she actually does have a chance at getting what she wants..." Natalie in the video starts.
"Please, can you just give me a chance to let me explain." Natalie said with tears slowly forming in her eyes, them burning to get out yet Natalie wouldn't let them fall. Her fighting back the tears,
"This isn't real, right?" Heather asked as her voice broke slightly, Y/n wrapped her arms around Heather's petite body, "C-Cause you wouldn't..." She said as she raised her index finger then slowly lowered it back down, "you wouldn't say those things about me."
"No." Natalie breathed out shaking her head.
"Not like this, right?"
"No." Natalie breathed out once again, continuing to shake her head.
"Why bother making a deal with her in the first place?" Diggins in the video asked. Natalie let out a small sob and turned around to the TV.
"Because... otherwise she would know I was competing against her." Heather slightly lowered her head as she titled it off. "She wouldn't trust me." Natalie in the video answered. Y/n bit the inside of her cheeks as she felt sorry for her girlfriend; Heather felt like she was just getting back on her feet and now it's like she's taken 3 major steps back. A step forward... 3 steps back. (🎤I'M THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE... UNTIL I MAKE YOU... MAD! YEAH IT'S ALWAYS ONE... STEP... FORWARD... AND 3 STEPS... BACK! DO YOU WANT ME? HATE ME? LOVE ME? BOY I DON'T UNDERSTAND... NO I DON'T UNDERSTAND...🎤 Sorry, just had too.)
"K... stop it." Natalie pleaded. "Stop it, we get it!" Natalie heavily pleaded.
"And Y/n? What about her?"
"Y/n? I don't even know why I hang out with her." Natalie in the video exposed. "She's weird, not funny and I simply don't see what Heather can see in her. She's a loner." Natalie in the video continued on.
"Shut it off!" Natalie shouted at the TV glancing at Y/n to see her tearing up herself,
"She's always been the one to cause drama and she caused it as Bishop is like... massively in love with Heather and just as we all thought they were gonna get together; Y/n came along and ruined it." Natalie in the video said.
"Then why do you act so friendly toward her?" Diggins in the video asked.
"Because... if someone isn't gonna at least be half-decent to her, then she'd have never had a good life. Probably killed herself if it wasn't for Heather." Natalie in the video exposed as Natalie kept trying to search for a button to shut it off,
"NO! Stop! We get it!" Natalie exclaimed, letting out a small sob.
"Why's that?" Diggins in the video asked.
"Mother abandoned her at a young age. Dad drinks... hurts her. I remember one time, she ran over to my house knowing Heather was over — which I bet is the reason she came over to mines — black eye, blood all over her face. I mean we thought she murdered someone, It's all really... 'terrible'."
"Why'd you say it like that?"
"'Cause I bet it's fake." Natalie in the video continued on, both Y/n and Heather took sharp inhales and the video stopped. The lights turned on as tears fell down both Y/n and Heather's faces. Them both feeling betrayed, Heather had her arms crossed over her upper stomach as Y/n had one hand on Heather's waist and the other down by her side.
"Heather..." Natalie breathed out, looking off to the side then back at Y/n and Heather. She let out a small sob, "Heather..." She sobbed out again, Heather looked down as she let out a small sniffle. Scrunching her nose slightly, she forced her eyes shut for a moment before opening them again and moving her eyes from the ground up to Heather, letting out a small breath.
"N-Nat..." Y/n sobbed out slightly, Natalie went to walk over to the two,
"Y/n, Heather." Natalie sobbed out, the two girls walked off and left the room,
"Are you two okay...?" Diggins asked worriedly for the two girls as they both looked so upset, the two girls ignore him and speed-walk to the stairs, starting to climb up them. "Heather!" Natalie sobbed out, Diggins moved in front of her. "Y/n! Heather, I'm sorry!" Natalie sobbed out.
"Natalie, Natalie, just breathe okay?" Diggins instructed as he placed his hands on both of her arms stopping her,
"Where is she going?" Natalie asked as she tried to move and follow the two girls, "Heather! Y/n!" Natalie called out,
"Just give her some space—" Diggins started.
"No, you fucking asshole!" Natalie said and pushed him back, "No, your a fucking asshole!" Natalie shouted at him.
"I had no choice." Diggins said in a calm tone yet his face looked filled with worry for the two girls and panic. Both of them breathing heavily,
Y/n opened the door for Heather which she walked in for, Y/n closed it as she walked in, the two resting their backs against the door as Heather slowly started crying silently, Y/n wrapped her arms around her.
"I-I'm sorry. I'm so sorry..." Y/n whispered out as she slowly started to cry with Heather, Heather wrapped her arms around Y/n's waist.
"I-I thought— I thought... w-we... were- were friends..." Heather said in between her breath's that were rushed. Y/n pulled away and cupped her face,
"I-I know. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry..." Y/n whispered out an apology. Heather placed her hand on her knees and after a few quiet sobs, she rested her back against the door and locked it; Y/n took her hand that locked the door and her other hand. Heather covered her mouth as she slowly started to cry again, Y/n wrapped her arms around her as she started to sink her knees to the ground. Stopping her as it would've alarmed Lily who was fast asleep on the single bed. "I gotcha, I gotcha, love. It's okay." Y/n whispered stroking her face, she removed her hand and Heather rushed to place her body against Y/n's. Y/n kept her arms around her waist. "I've gotcha..." She whispered placing a kiss on her head, Heather silently crying in the love of her life's arms.
*****
It'd been 2 hours and Heather finally stopped crying and only just fell asleep, Y/n lifted her off of the floor and laid her down on the bed. She pulled the covers over her and laid down on the right side of the bed. She laid on her back as tears slowly started to fall down her face, she took some quick and rushed breath's before she covered her mouth and started to silently cry. Not waking Heather nor Lily up.
She spent most of the night crying and didn't fall asleep till 8am. Till 20 minutes later... Heather got woken up by Lily.
"Heather..." Lily whispered to her, Heather groaned.
"Mhmm." She mumbled.
"I'm hungry." She whispered to Heather. Heather turned to Y/n to see dried up tears still on her face that wasn't there before she fell fast asleep; so, she decided that she'd decide to do this herself but since Y/n hadn't properly fallen asleep, she pretended that she just woke up from a long nights rest.
"Where're you two going?" Y/n asked.
"To get some breakfast from downstairs." Heather announced, the room being filled with sadness.
"Oh... c-can I come? I'm hungry?" She asked, clearing her throat. Heather nodded her head as they all got dressed, Lily in the bathroom as she needed to go to the bathroom as well and Y/n and Heather in the bedroom.
Y/n put a grey hoodie with the school's football team as it was over-sized, and one of her favourite hoodies. She set her hood down and fixed her hair slightly, Heather staring her down as she was wearing a red, buttoned up, shirt. Her hair, half up, half down. Blue jeans.
And Y/n couldn't think of how people thought that Heather wasn't worth wasting time for when she looked like a goddess descended from Heaven. Even the way she acted, protecting her baby sister at all costs, loyal, creative, funny, dependant, had loads of sympathy and understanding as she rarely judged people unless it was her mother for her silly mistakes that she would do.
As Y/n chucked her hoodie on, when she was fixing her hair; she saw Heather staring her down.
"You okay?" Y/n asked as she sat down next to Heather; Heather shrugged at the question as she didn't know how to answer it properly.
"I-I don't know..." Heather mumbled.
"Yeah, I—" Y/n let out a small sigh, "I don't know either..." Y/n whispered back to her, sniffling slightly as her mother was someone she had always thought good off, but to hear it out-loud that she got ditched and her dad wasn't so nice... it upset the y/h/c girl. Heather placed her hand on the back of Y/n's neck giving her neck scratches.
"You didn't get much sleep, did you?" Heather asked, Y/n shook her head.
"Not even 20 minutes." Y/n sighed out.
"You should go back to bed, I want you rested—"
"And I want you rested, yet we're both hungry. So, I guess we won't get what we want." Y/n huffed out as she got up and grabbed 10 dollars. Lily came out as she was drying her hands with a paper towel, she puts it in the bin.
"I'm ready." Lily announced with a grin on her face,
"Okay, come on Lilbug. Let's go get some breakfast." Y/n cheered out holding her hand as Heather held the other, Y/n locked the door and they all headed downstairs. They saw Natalie's car outside and both Y/n and Heather look at one another. "You know... uhm, how about we just order... r-room service?" Y/n suggested.
"What?" Lily asked confused.
"Yeah, why don't you two head upstairs? I'll be right up after you two, I just need the bathroom." Y/n explained, Heather nodded her head taking Lily back upstairs as she had the spare key.
"Heather, what's going on?" Lily asked.
"Nothing just... someone we've had a falling out with is still here... trying to ask for our forgiveness on something that... that she messed up on." Heather explained.
"Is it Natalie?" Lily asked. Heather slowly nodded her head before she unlocked the door taking her back inside.
Y/n came in after a few minutes and Heather had ordered room service. Yet nothing for Y/n as she decided to go for a 'nap'. Room service came and Lily and Heather had good fun eating and having nice water while watching TV quietly, Heather managed to sneak outside and take Lily to camp and come back without letting Natalie see her nor have Y/n notice she was gone.
Yet she'll know that Lily's gone almost instantly.
After an hour of Heather reading her stories over and over, editing them, adding better plot holes as she here-and-there gave Y/n head scratches, Y/n finally woke up.
"Mhmm... h-how long did I sleep for?" Y/n asked.
"Just over an hour and a bit." Heather explained.
"Where's Lily? I don't hear her or the TV." Y/n said in a rushed tone as she shot up slightly looking around,
"Hey, it's okay. It's okay... she's at Camp." Heather assured her cupping her face. Y/n finally let out a breath and nodded her head. "Lie back down, you need more sleep." Heather whispered to her,
"I can't. I can't sleep..." She mumbled out. Heather grinned at her, a tight-lipped one and shut her diary over. She set it as well as the pen down on the bedside table. She laid down and Y/n grinned lying on top of her, tucking her head in the nape of Heather's neck, placing a small kiss. "Goodnight." Y/n whispered into Heather's neck.
"Night." Heather whispered back as Heather set an alarm then the two started to fall asleep. In one another's arms. Fast asleep. Sweet and soundly.

A/N: I have no idea how I managed to do all this, but I did. Let's goooo. Anyway! Now for real, goodnight. I'm extremely tired and almost fell asleep but managed to wake myself up. NIGHT!
HAVE A GOOD DAY/AFTERNOON/EVENING/NIGHT.
Right before I go though — I thought about this the other night — why do I or others say like... good day or afternoon or evening or night? Like the day means the whole... the whole shabang. You know? But right now, it's like 'day' just means morning or something.
Anyway, goodnight!
