Mental Breakdown (Luz x Amity)

if this is triggering for you don't read (btw Luz and Amity are dating in this)

I wake up Monday morning feeling awful "Mittens get up we need to go" I sigh and stand up. I slip on my uniform and head down stairs "you look awful mittens smile more" my mother said I groan and sit at the table I start to eat my food when my mother criticizes me yet again "your eating to much you

look to chubby" I roll my eyes and walk to the front door picking up my bag and walk out the door when I feel someone's grip on my shoulder "make me proud amity, you are a blight after all" my mother whispered into my ear, I nod and walk to school. I sigh until I see my girlfriend I smile slightly

"hey Amity" she yelled across the hallway. I walk inside as Luz runs at me tackling me to the ground "Luz!" I sigh she helps me up "sorry i was just really excised to see you" she said smiling I really wanted to smile with her but i just didn't feel like it so i gave her a half smile and continued

walking to class. Luz talked about her weekend the entire way I kept zoning in and out of the one sided conversation. "umm Am are you ok?" I look at her not wanting to worry her "Um yeah I'm fine

just tired I guess" i say with a fake smile she shrugs "ok but if you aren't feeling good you can tell me" I nod and look back at the floor. i don't want to be a burden I wave bye and walk into class. I try to focuses on the lesson but end up falling asleep. I'm shaken awake by Boscha "Amity? are you

good?" I yawn still feeling crappy "yep couldn't be better" I say and walk out of the class room very quickly. I get through to lunch. A few more houses then you can get home I sit at the table and start to overthink things Luz wont love you if you cry in front of her, all your friends will leave you for someone

better I look up and feel the world go black and white I start to sweat no not again I calm myself down and fell the world come back into color, I still feel shaken up until i see Luz's concerned face "Amity? are you ok?" I smile and nod "yep couldn't be better why do people keep ask if im ok? Im fine really I

am I got to go to class bye" I say and running out of the cafeteria. Holding in my tears I find a quiet spot in the hallway. "breath Amity, Breath" i say but it doesn't help. I feel someone's hand on my back "Amity?" said a soft and comforting voice I look up and see Luz. "Amity I know your not ok I really want to know whats wrong" at that moment I broke tears started to fall down my face. I cried and

cried Luz sat down beside me holding me in her arms "shh its ok Am its ok" she whispered into my ear while rubbing my back after what felt like an hour I calmed down. I take a breath and look at her "I-I'm s-s-sorry" i say still slightly crying. Luz gives me a confused look "you have nothing to be sorry

for Amity" Luz hugged me tight. after I calmed Luz walked me to the owl house I stayed the night we watched movies and talked after the long day we cuddled and fell asleep in her arms and that's when I knew Luz is my safe space and will love me no matter what......
