her

chapter 1

i don't really know what this is. just a story i wrote in the middle of the night instead of studying 🤷‍♀️ idek if it's good but ye

Everything was perfect, me and my husband had just moved into this perfect family friendly neighborhood. The house was a kind of sage green color with white details and a beautiful garden, it was just like any suburban house.

Most days were sunny but of course the rainy days also made an appearance at different times. But that was just a part of life. Nothing made me happier than when I could just spend all day with him in our soft king sized bed.

Mine and Visions marriage was like any others. Vision has a job that can pay for everything and I do all the housework. We of course wanted a baby, and that we got. Not even one, but two. Billy and Tommy. They mean absolutely everything to me. But there was one thing distracting me from this supposed to be perfect life.

Agnes.

I really don't know how to describe her. She used to be the neighbor next door, and when we'd just moved in she helped us with everything, well me.

Everything from unpacking to fitting in with the other moms in the neighborhood. I remember this one time when i'd just moved in, and we went to one of the neighborhoods meetings. Dottie the most "liked" person around here was talking about hosting a talent show and I had no idea on how to act around them all or what to say or what to bring. Anything really. It was hard adjusting.

During all that, Agnes was there helping me with everything. I'm eternally grateful for her being here for me.

But still, I know all of this little life I have is fake. I can control it in fact, and it kind of makes me disappointed and sad that Agnes really isn't my real friend. I just made her to be.

Recently Tommy and Billy have not been cooperating with me. At all. They just keep and keep crying, i've started to give up. I sat myself down on the stairs just hoping they would shut up.

'Please just be quiet.' I whispered because I was literally so exhausted.

After what felt like hours, they finally fell asleep. I mean it must've been a miracle because i've been trying for hours.

Just in that moment I hear a knock on the door and I almost sprint to the door. I was certain that one more moment in this house alone would make me go insane.

I opened the door and I see the person I wanted to see the most. Agnes.

'Wanda! Hey girl.' She said in her usual enthusiastic tone which already got me in a better mood.

'Hey Agnes.' I tried sounding happy but I could clearly see that she knew i was exhausted. The way she was looking at me made me feel a bit, i don't know. Self-conscious. I mean my hair was a greasy mess and i haven't changed my clothes in nearly a week.. Damn i really need to shower.

'Even as how exhausted you look, you still look absolutely gorgeous.' As she said those words, this feeling erupted in my stomach. I don't know what it was but it definitely was an amazing feeling.

'Oh honey, you're blushing.' She said in the sweetest tone i've ever heard, and as she said that she also moved her hands to my cheeks. I took my hands up to her hands that were still resting on my face and looked deep into her eyes. It was as if I got completely lost, in those gorgeous amazing deep light blue eyes.

Before anything else happened I heard Tommy crying, or Billy I don't really know anymore. But i snapped out of my trance and realized quickly what was happening.

Not that I know what's going on.

'Thank you.' I gave her a small smile and went on to ask her why she was here.

'Well of course, I just came here to check on how you're doing.' My smile just grew even wider, but then she said 'You and Vision' right after.

Of course she wouldn't come for me only, why would I even think that. I mean Agnes had her own life and just wanted to be a polite and good neighbor.

Not everything's about you Wanda!

'Yeah thank you Agnes, I really appreciate it. I think Vision would too but he's at work at the moment. As you may see i'm quite exhausted. Tommy and Billy haven't exactly been quiet lately.' The way you sighted really loudly made me want to slap myself. She probably think i'm some self pitying bitch.

'I would be happy to help you Wanda.'

'Are you sure?' I mean i must have heard that wrong. But what else could she have said. She really wants to help me?

'Yes of course! Why wouldn't I?'

'Okay'

I unconsciously smiled because of that and brought her inside.
