3. never losing you again

Enid's POV

Wednesday...

That was all I could think about after my fight with Tyler, who turned out to be the Hyde... the reason for all of this shit that's happened in the school... He k-killed Principal Weems and now we had Thornhill and fucking Crackstone running around the school terrorizing the students, and all I could think about was Wednesday... I didn't know if she was still a-alive... all the thoughts running through my head was that I would never get the chance to tell her how I felt about her... how I was madly in love with her, how I would never get to have my first kiss with her and ask her out and eventually marry her...

I needed to know that she was alright and alive. I had to.

I managed to find my way back to the school's entrance, I was so weak and injured from the fight until I could barely make out what was in front of me and nearly collapsed until Ajax caught me. Ajax and I have been on very good terms after I told them that I was in love with Wednesday, although I was rightly pissed off at him for not telling me that he was a member of the Nightshades all this time... but he's still been a very good friend to me, and I'm always going to be grateful for that. 

I scanned the area for any signs of Wednesday, my heart pounding in my chest so loud, I swore Ajax could hear it... 

"W-where's Wednesday..?"

My heart stopped as I looked at the students shake their head... no, no... not her, please, God not her... my voice caught in my throat as I tried desperately to hold back my tears... to hold back my anger at the fact that nobody even bothered to fucking help her! I refused to believe that she was gone... 

"No, no no no, please please..."

Suddenly, the crowd slowly dispersed and that was when I saw her... walking outside the gates... my heart felt like it was going to explode as I lightly pushed Ajax and the crowd away for what felt like forever and crashed my lips into hers, not caring about if she would push me away, I was just so fucking glad she was still here... she stared at me for just a second before kissing me back, longer than I did, which both surprised me and comforted me... I pulled her closer as I completely forgot about the huge crowd behind me, but I didn't care.. I just cared about Wednesday, knowing that she was safe and in my arms...

The next day, we were packing up our stuff since, well... the school had an impromptu end of school year after everything went down. I stared at Wednesday, even though I knew she didn't like it, but I couldn't help it... I seriously thought I lost her back there, and I couldn't hold back anymore...

"W-Wednesday, I... I know that when we kissed back there, it was only because we were afraid and in a dangerous situation, and... I totally understand if you don't ever feel the same way but-"

And that was when Wednesday kissed me again, this time giving me a genuine smile, if only for a brief second...

"Enid. You have left an indelible mark on my life, and... somewhere along the way, my feelings for you changed from absolute disgust and hatred to... genuine affection and... love. I... I love you, Enid. And our kiss back there was also quite genuine, which is why I want to ask you... if  you would like to... be more than friends with me..."

I squealed in excitement as I kissed her back, caressing her face in my hands, praying my claws didn't extend out and hurt her. I just wished the bed was still behind us, so I could show her how grateful I really was...

"Why did they have to tell us to get rid of the bed right away..."

A smirk from Wednesday.

"Honestly, Enid, that may have been the only thing I will agree with you on today... I would have loved to... show more of my affection to you before we potentially never see each other again.."

"Who says we have to leave each other? I was wondering if... you wanted to come to San Francisco with me for the summer? We could.. go on a proper date and maybe... get a hotel room?"

Wednesday pondered the idea, before nodding stoically.

"I do not care where we end up, just a long as you vow to never leave my side, or else you will suffer dire consequences, Enid Sinclair." 

"Well then, I guess we'll just have to get married one day, Wednesday Addams."

"Yes. I suppose we will."
