30. jealousy [explicit] [season finale]

A/N: We're finally here, folks. The season finale. More notes and an important update at the end. 

Wednesday's POV

"I do not want you hanging out with Ajax or Yoko any longer."

Enid turned around to look at me. Her expression changed from upbeat to confusion and moderate anger. My expression, of course, remained unchanged.

"What??"

I repeated myself even though Enid could clearly hear everything I had told her.

"I said, I do not want you hanging out with Ajax or Yoko any longer."

Enid chuckled in a false assumption that I was joking. I was not.

"Okay, Wednesday. That's a funny joke, you're really starting to relax a bit, but-"

"I am not joking, Sinclair. You are not to associate yourself with those two any longer, especially not that boy, Ajax."

Enid quickly became annoyed with me.

"First of all, Wednesday... just because you don't like Ajax or Yoko doesn't mean you have the right to tell me who I can and cannot hang out with. You hang out with Eugene and I don't say anything because I get that he reminds you of your brother, and I think that's sweet. And I've done a lot regarding my schedule, and-"

I tried to say something, but Enid stopped me. Any other person would no longer be standing if they dared to interrupt me. But because it was Enid, I.. strangely did not mind it.

"NO. I've done a lot, and I mean a LOT when it comes to you without complaining. But I refuse to comply with this heartless demand of yours. You cannot and will not EVER tell me who I hang out with just because."

"Then maybe we should discontinue our living arrangements."

Enid turned around, looking away from me, which was a breath of relief as I tried to quiet my shaky breath... damn these emotions...

"Fine by me. I've left before and I don't mind doing it again. Goodbye, Wednesday."

You fool, stop her...

"E-Enid, w-wait.."

Too quiet, she is getting away. Do you really want her to leave again, never to return? Do you love her? I... 

"ENID. Wait..."

Thankfully, she stopped. 

"I don't want to hear it, Wednesday. You've said a lot of mean and rude things to me, and I've brushed them off, but this was the last straw. I'm done."

Before I could stop myself, I grabbed her arm lightly, she tried to resist but my grip was strong. I feared that if I let her go, I would never see her again. And I wanted to see her again...

"E-Enid... I... I am jealous... of you, Ajax and Yoko... I.. I am afraid they will take you from me..."

Enid paused. She stood there. My voice started to break up. I did not care. I continued.
