If It Happens (Wenclair)

"I'll tell you some day"

Enid's POV

Wednesday treated me like I was anyone else in this school when I came back to our room. One word responses and a cold shoulder. "Weds are you ok?"

She was reading one of the history books assigned to us from last semester which meant she was really doing anything to avoid me.

"I'm fine." She wouldn't even look at me and Thing was right by her side unsure of who to side with. "Obviously something is up please talk to me."

Her goddamn silence was worse than any harsh words she could say to me and I wanted to shake the words out of her, but I didn't because my wolf instincts don't control me.

This routine carried on the next day in the morning and I know it's not fair but I did everything I could to try and get her attention.

I talked on the phone with Ajax and twirled my hair even though both of us have moved on. I turned my music up as loud as I could and in the morning I got fully naked and stood up to brush my hair.

"Not even a single glance? UGH!" I got so upset that the first person I've ever been with would just ignore me after the most intimate and pure experience of my life. I felt used.

Bianca and I hungout in our dorm while Wednesday left for whatever it was she had to do that was more important than me. "What's this?" Bianca asked trailing over to Wednesday's writing table.

"I don't know, what does it say?" She was quiet when she read over the page. "I don't think I should share this with you. Hey let's go out and do something" she tried to quickly divert my attention.

"What does it say Bianca..?" She shook her head and crumpled the paper up and tossed it in the trash. "Nothing important now let's go out."

Nightfall hit not so long after Bianca took me out to dinner for a nice platonic friend date but I couldn't stop thinking about Wednesday. Anything could've been on that page. How she had an awful time with me, or that I'm ugly, or that she doesn't like me anymore.

"Ready to head back hun?" She asked after paying for the food. "If it's ok I think I need to walk around and clear my mind. I'll text you later." And I headed off alone to walk and try to forget everything.

Wednesday's POV

"So this morning you didn't talk to her?" My new therapist, Martha, asked me after I talked about what happened. We had some phone sessions before school started so I could adapt better into talking about my life.

"No I couldn't face her and try to explain this all. I didn't even know really" I meekly responded. She nodded her head and said "it's intense stuff Wednesday. I think you should at least tell her that you are having trouble processing things so she doesn't take this so personally and whenever you're ready to tell her you can."

The room was empty when I came back but I thought nothing of it until half an hour later. Enid is usually here so I fumbled around on my phone still trying to figure out how to use it properly.

W: Is this the right number for Bianca?
B: yep that's me! Wednesday?
W: yes, is Enid with you? She's not back yet
B: no she told me she needed to walk around alone after dinner
W: where did she go? Is she alone?
B: I saw her heading off the woods probably to wolf it out or something
W: thank you

As strong as Enid is and proving herself with Tyler last semester I couldn't trust her safety alone especially at night. I practically ran to the entrance of the woods and after telling Thing I'd be back soon.

It was freezing cold but I kept running with the wind cutting through my clothes. "Enid! Where are you?" I was yelling. I couldn't hear anything for a long time as I called out her name and I was feeling another panic attack coming on.

I need her to be safe. I need her.

"Enid please! Where did you go?" I heard some muffled crying a few trees deeper and I barely saw her, the trees were blocking the moonlight but I could see her pink jacket anywhere.

"Get away from me Wednesday" she spat through her chattering teeth. She was shivering and I gave her my coat for warmth but she refused.

"Wednesday please, after everything you're going to pretend like I mean nothing to you? What if it happens again?" Tears were streaming down her face and I felt a surge of guilt but the panic attack was much stronger.

"It won't." I answered. She rolled her eyes. "Yeah I kind of got that when you decided that I'm some useless piece of shit to you unless you want me sexually."

That struck my heart harder than any feeling I've ever experienced. The shame came flooding through my body but my therapist told me to talk it out instead of keeping it inside.

"I DON'T CARE ABOUT SEX WITH YOU ENID I CARE ABOUT YOU." I screamed in frustration not only with her but myself. "I.. I have so many feelings for you and I'm telling you what happened won't happen again. Not the sex part, but me being a fucking asshole to you with no explanation."

She stayed quiet waiting for more. "I just want you, all of you in any way possible. End of story. I promise to tell you what's going on soon but I couldn't explain it to you before because I didn't know how."

Then in the blink of an eye she was being dragged away in the darkness, screaming for me. "WEDNESDAY HELP!" I couldn't see anything but whatever got her was faster than me in my boots. I kept tripping on branches losing the feeling in my legs from the fear but I kept going anyways.

"Enid! Enid!" The trees were thick and I very quickly lost my sense of direction and had no idea where she went. I fell to my knees and broke down crying still screaming her name.

"ENID!" But everything was hushed by the sound of the tree leaves swaying in the wind.
