Blue [Chaelisa]

thirty one

Chaeyoung was jolted awake the next morning when she felt something press into her side, nearly rolling her off of the bed. The blonde girl quickly sat up to prevent herself from falling to the ground.

She immediately realized what was going on when she saw the Thai girl next to her mumble something inaudible and curl up into a ball.

"Lili?" Chaeyoung whispered, nudging Lisa's shoulder. The Thai girl almost immediately shot awake, sitting up and looking around the room in a panic.

"Lili, Lili, it's me," Chaeyoung said quickly, finding Lisa's hand squeezing it. "I'm right here."

Lisa studied Chaeyoung's face for a few moments, slowly coming down from the panic. She found familiarity in the girl's eyes and quickly crawled into Chaeyoung's open arms.

The older girl pulled Lisa into her lap, wrapping her arms around her girlfriend and rocking back and forth slowly to comfort her. "You're okay, I've got you," she whispered, combing her fingers through Lisa's hair.

"I-It keeps h-happening," Lisa sniffed, shaking her head and wrapping her arms around Chaeyoung's neck. All the Thai girl wanted was to be able to get a good night's sleep, but the nightmares always seemed to prevent that from happening.

"I know, baby," Chaeyoung sighed, holding Lisa tighter. "I'm sorry I can't just take them in your place," she separated them slightly so she could wipe Lisa's tears with the pads of her thumbs. "We're gonna get rid of them, I promise."

"Promise?" Lisa whispered, holding up her pinky. Chaeyoung nodded, interlocking their fingers and hoping this was a promise she could keep.

I watch your troubled eyes as you rest,
And I fall in love with every breath.
Wonder if those eyes are really shut,
And am I the one you're dreaming of?
'Cause underneath the darkness
There's a light that's trying so hard to be seen.

And I know this 'cause I've noticed
A little bit shining through the seams.
And if this is what it takes,
Then let me be the one to bear the pain.
Oh if this is what it takes
I'll break down these walls that are in our way,
If this is what it takes.

You keep on telling me I'm wasting time,
But to call it wasting time oh that's a crime.
And you think it's crazy what I'm trying to do.
Well baby, I'm a fool for you.
'Cause underneath the darkness
There's a light that's trying so hard to be seen.

And I know this 'cause I've noticed
A little bit shining through the seams.
And if this is what it takes,
Then let me be the one to bear the pain.
Oh if this is what it takes
I'll break down these walls that are in our way,
'Cause if you don't understand yet
Then I'll never let you forget
That you don't have to do this on your own.

I'll be your shoulder to lean on.
I'll be your right when you feel wrong.
So come on, take my hand, we're moving on.

And if this is what it takes,
Then let me be the one to bear the pain.
Oh and if this is what it takes,
Then I'll break down these walls,
These walls that are in our way.
If this is what it takes.

Just as Chaeyoung finished singing, she caught sight of two blonde pigtails watching them from a crack in the door. The blonde girl raised an eyebrow at her younger sister. Lisa lifted her head from Chaeyoung's shoulder, suddenly growing embarrassed when she saw Daniela watching them from the door.
