TEACH ME PROFESSOR [Elizabeth Olsen]

Chapter 74 - Echo of love

A/N
While writing this chapter I listened to "The wisp sings" by Winter Aid if you want to get more into the mood
enjoy the reading :)

LIZZIE'S POV

"How she feels?"
"Well it's a bit of a difficult situation, i mean, this changes everything in her life, she feels without certainties, she's confused and angry" i explain
"And how are you feeling, Lizzie?" Scarlett asks on the phone
"Well good i guess, yeah, not very good but i think it's normal, isn't it? I feel bad to see her like this, i would like to do something but i feel helpless right now"
"You know that this has nothing to do with you right? As much as you want to help her because you love her this is not something that concerns you" Scar explains and she's actually right, as much as i want to help her i can't do much.
"Oh uhm yeah i know"
"Mmm okay..."
"What? It sounds like you want to tell me something" i say
"Well yes actually if i can be completely honest with you" she asks
"Scar was there ever a time when you weren't honest with me?" i say ironically and she lets out a chuckle
"Come on tell me"
"Well, you know how much i care about you and y/n, really, and i'm glad to see you together" she starts telling me
"But? There seems to be a but" i tell her
"But in the long run i don't know how much this relationship will be good for you two, i mean i was the first to hope and fight for you two and i know it, but i'm afraid you drag each other into your own demons. You both have things to sort out, she has a difficult past that still haunts her and you are going through a transition in your life that is not easy, and you both end up feeling bad for each other, giving up yourselves for each other and it's not fair for both" she explains, i listen to her but a sense of annoyance vibrates inside me.
"But it's normal Scar, we love each other and loving each other means being there for each other, i feel bad because it hurts to see the person you love being like this, we are in a beautiful and honest phase of our relationship, we finally talk about everything, here we are for each other and we're fine so i can't find sense in your speech" i realize i raised my voice a little
"Liz i don't want to argue with you or even cause trouble i'm just telling you what i think, try to thi-"
"And what am i supposed to do Scar? Tell me, should i leave her? Should i run away from her again? Should i see her hurt herself again and just stand and watch her?" i interrupt her and my anger is discharged against her
"Liz please..."
"No Scar is a bullshit talk, i love her and will stand by her side okay?" i yell
"Just think about it, loving means complementing each other, not self-nullifying for the other"
"Yeah well we're fine thanks so-" i answer annoyed but just at that moment someone knocks on the door
"I have to go Scar, y/n's sister has arrived" i warn her
"Okay, but you're not angry with me are you? You know i only want your good Liz" she says sorry and i actually feel a bit guilty for how i treated her
"Don't worry, Scar, i'm not angry with you" i say and after saying goodbye i go to open the door.
"Hey Emma" i smile at her
"Hey Lizzie, so how is she?" she questions worried
"Well you can imagine, it's not easy for her" i tell her
"Do you think she's mad with me now?"
"No i don't think so Emma, ​​she loves you, she's just confused and i think she wants some answers that's all" i reassure her and she nods but i can see how nervous she is actually.
"Come on let's go to her"
"Fine..." we go to my room, i knock on the door waiting for a response from y/n to be able to enter.
"Come in" she says and so i do, i see her sitting on the bed with her back leaning against the wall while she stares into space.
Scarlett's words echo in my head for a moment but i push them away.
"Hey babe, Emma is here can i let her in?" i ask her and she nods without even looking at me.
This hurts me but i can't bring myself down right now.
I turn to Emma and wave her inside.
"Hey lil sis" Emma greets her gently smiling, y/n lifts her head and i see her eyes fill with tears.
I go close to her and leave little kisses on her head.
"I'm out here if you need anything okay?" i whisper to her
"Don't you stay here?" she asks me like a little child
"It's a family thing honey, it's only right that i give you some privacy" i explain and she pouts
"But you are my family Liz" she whispers and my heart melts
"And you are mine my love, that's why i'm out here waiting for you and whatever i'm here for"
"Fine..." she says,
"Good, remember that i love you" i smile at her leaving another kiss in her hair and then i leave them in the room to talk.
