LIZZIE'S POV

I go to my room to change my clothes and then i go back downstairs, i step in front of her room but the door is still closed and i hear nothing on the other side.
I sigh and go sit on the sofa thinking about what happened before.
I hope i haven't scared her or that she's mad at me.
Every time i try to do something right i end up ruining everything and destroying the good times with her.
I turn on the TV and play the first movie i find to distract myself, but i keep thinking about her and what she's doing in the room.

Suddenly i hear the door of her room open,
i compose myself on the sofa trying to keep calm.
I find her in front of me, her hair gathered in a bun and a long grey sweatshirt that reaches her knees.
She's so adorable.
"Hey" she says smiling
"Hey" i answer a bit confused
Her mood swings destabilize me
"Can i?" she asks, referring to the empty space next to me on the couch
"Of course you can" she doesn't have to repeat it twice and throws herself on the sofa, more precisely on me.
She snuggles under my arm resting her head on my chest.
"Mmm better" she murmurs closing her eyes
Okay...maybe i fell in love with a psychopath
"You're okay?" i ask, she lifts her head to look at me
"Yup...actually i wanted to apologize for earlier,
i was acting like a real bitch" she says, i smile at her caressing her cheek and see her relax into my touch
"Don't worry, i was just sad that i hurt you, it seems like it's the only thing i do with you lately" i say frustrated
"This is not true, i know you don't do it on purpose and then i know you did so much more for me"
"Like?" i ask and a smirk crosses her face
"Well you're very good at washing me" she says and i almost choke with my saliva
"W-what?" she bursts out laughing
"Oh God you should have seen your face!" she says laughing
"Ah-Ah funny" i pretend to be annoyed
She reaches her hand up to my chin so i can look at her
"Hey you make me happy okay? Here's what you do, you make me alive Lizzie" she says looking into my eyes and i can't help but get lost in them.
"You make me happy too babe, i'm so lucky to have you" i lean up to her face leaving a kiss on her adorable nose which she scrunches.
She hugs me and we both watch a movie staying in that position.
"Uhm can i ask a question?" she asks me after a while
"Yes, what's it about?"
"What's going to happen between you and Robbie?"

Why is she asking me?

"Well i think i want to divorce him, yeah i mean its a decision i made and i want to go through with it.
I didn't do it right away because i wanted to pass this difficult moment and i wanted to focus only and exclusively about you, but now i also want to think about this thing. Robbie and i are no longer meant to be together and i'm tired of lying to myself and the people i love. I want to live my life, honestly"

And i would like to live my life with her.

"Why did you ask me that?" i add
"Oh just out of curiosity" she says vaguely and goes back to watching the film, but i don't know if it's just me but i see a little smile on her face.
I wonder if it's really just that
"So...do you have plans today?" i ask rhetorically
"Well i have a leg that doesn't quite work yet so i don't think so" she says sarcastically and makes me giggle
"Great, then don't make any plans because today you're all mine" she lifts her head to look at me with a confused look
"What unhealthy ideas do you have in that head Olsen?"
"Well i thought we could take a tour down memory lane, i want to take you to some places that mean both of us" i say getting up off the couch while her head falls on it
"Ouch, you could have warned me" she says
I've done nothing but think about it these days,
the idea of ​​reliving the best moments we've spent together but with more awareness now, the love i feel for her.
"And where would you like to take me today?" she asks curiously
"It's a surprise sorry" i say biting my lip
"Come on, go get dressed" i take her arms to pull her up
"Okay okay i'll go" she snorts while i smile
