EXCELLENCE

Marsai/Oc (III)

Concious pt 2

Onyx's eyes followed Marsai's every movement. In the past two months, Marsai had been coming non stop to visit the younger girl which made Onyx feel something she never knew she was able to.

Happiness.

She had her first friend, why wouldn't she be happy. Onyx just hated she couldn't show it yet, "But, yeah! My day was pretty eventful." Marsai finished with a slight giggle. Onyx slowly nods her head making Marsai beam, "Oh my god, this is amazing. What was Jack and your mom thinking? You're making hella progress." She states. Onyx looks down, letting what seemed like a sigh escape her throat. Marsai frowns, "Right, we don't bring them up." She says softly.

After Jack ranted to Marsai about Onyx, Marsai felt as if him and his mother needed a break. So, for Onyx's sake, Marsai offered to 'watch' her. The young melanin girl felt bad for Onyx. She didn't deserve the treatment she got from her best friend and their mother. So, from time to time, everytime she and Jack had a sleepover with their crew, Marsai would come upstairs to Onyx's room and read her a book or sing to her. Marsai was giving Onyx what she was robbed of being born different and that was love. Even if Marsai didn't know it yet,

"Onyx, I'm about to go downstairs right quick." Marsai says while standing up. Onyx's eyes followed her. Before Marsai could get far, she heard a mumble, "D... Do..." Marsai quickly turns back around, "What are you trying to say, Nyx?" She asks, almost excitedly. Onyx looks into Marsai's eyes, "D...Don't" She finally gets out. Marsai shakes her head, "Don't what?" She asks softly. Onyx looks down, "Go." She says. Marsai blinks, "I-I... I'm not." She says with a smile. Just then, the room door opens, "Marsai, you're still here? I thought you were kidding when you said you were going to watch... it." Onyx felt her muscles tense, a feeling foreign to her.

Marsai's jaw clenched in irritation, "Yes I was serious." She says through closed teeth before calming down, "We had fun, right Onyx?" Marsai says, feeling her heart flutter slightly when she sees the corner of Onyx's mouth twitch. The older woman frowns, "Sweetie, you're not gonna get any words out of her." She says. Marsai shakes her head, "I know." She lies, "But, it's worth a try." Marsai says before walking out. She waved at Onyx who was looking down. Her mother was about to close the door but froze, "Mom..." She opens the door right back and stared in disbelief at Onyx who was now looking in her eyes.

"O-Onyx." Yvette, their mom (a/n tired of saying her mom), asks gently. The tiny girl just stares before looking back down at the floor. That's when guilt started to eat at Yvette's stomach. All the names she heard Jack call Onyx, all the times she just yelled at Onyx for being born different, everything. She started to realize that maybe Onyx wasn't as brain dead as the doctor said she would be. If this interaction didn't say anything.

Yvette walks downstairs and stared at Marsai, "What did you do...?" She asks. Marsai blinks, "What do you mean, Ms. Johnson?" She asks. Yvette points upstairs, "She talked... she- she talked, what did you do?" She asks. Marsai let a slight smile spread across her face before she frowned, "I gave her something that you didn't." Marsai states. Before Yvette could ask, Jack ran downstairs, "Alright, I'm changed. Let's go, ma!" He says, side eying Marsai as he noticed the tension between the two females.
