You were a dense person. In other words, unless someone screamed it into your face or wrote it out for you: you were missing the point. Especially when it came to relationships.
Currently, you were mending a broken heart and that's how your roommate, Rachel, found you. Rachel walked over and hugged you.
"What happened?"
"I hate myself!" You said softly, voice slightly cracking.
"Why?"
"She likes me and I was too dense and add in my horrible track record with dating and she heard me say how I don't do relationships....."
Rachel stared before hugging you closer. Your phone rang and she looked at it.
"Nia?"
"That's her..."
Rachel rejected the call before going back to hugging you.
☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
Rachel came home from practice the next day and saw you were still in bed.
"Did you shower?"
"Yes."
"Eat?"
You pointed towards the takeout still sitting on your dresser. It was barely touched though.
"Okay that's enough Chanda!"
Rachel grabbed you and pulled you out of bed.
"Get over her! I read the text. She obviously doesn't want a relationship now and if she can't see that you are willing to try then she ain't shit!"
You swallowed before hugging her and crying. She rubbed your back before cuddling with you on the bed. She really hated seeing you like this. You were normally so strong. Always had resting bitch face and a sharp tongue to match. But under that was a funny, smart, and protective girl.
She yawned as she heard you release a soft snore. Pulling the blanket up, she decided that sleeping was just what you needed.
☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
Rachel padded to the kitchen and saw you cooking. Hair was up and music was playing as you cooked. She smiled. When you were angry, you always cooked. Not to mention you made delicious food.
"She called me."
Rachel looked at you.
"She called, saying she wanted to talk and we didn't talk. I was just so angry and hurt."
Rachel listened as you spoke.
"This is why I say I'm meant to be forever alone."
"That's not true!"
"Yes it is! Rachel I fuck up every relationship I have ever been in! I'm not meant to be with anyone and no one is meant to be with me!"
You stabbed the knife into the cutting board. Rachel stared at you as you tried to catch your breath.
"I'm meant to be alone."
☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
You smiled as you entered your best friend's apartment and her dog, Marshmallow, greeted you.
"Hey!"
You two hugged before you sat on the couch and accepted the mug of hot chocolate. You smiled as you took a sip. It had been a day since your confession to Rachel. And Rachel was doing everything possible to prove that you weren't meant to live alone.
"So how did it go with Nia?"
"It didn't go."
She looked at you before hugging you.
"She wasn't shit anyway."
You laughed as your friend went on a whole speech about if she wasn't willing to try even after you showed your whole ass, she wasn't worth it.
"Besides, you have that cute roommate of yours!" She said while wiggling her eyebrows.
"Rachel? What? No!"
"Why not? She has money and she's sweet and girl have you've seen the way she looks at you?"
You blushed.
"But she's straight!"
"Girl you are assuming that! What happened to your 'Assume gay until proven straight' law!"
You covered your face as she laughed. Marshmallow looked at his owner and her friend.
"I'm meant to live alone forever."
"No you aren't and besides, Rachel is cute. Not to mention if it doesn't work, you can move in with me. You practically live here when you aren't working or traveling."
"Very true."
She laughed before popping in the Criminal Minds dvd and you two settled in for some mysteries.
☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
You stared at the messages that held her name.
Nia.
"Oh delete them already!" You looked at Rachel who put a glass of sparkling wine before you.
"You're just going to stare at those messages and beat yourself up."
You gave her your phone.
"You do it."
Rachel swiped left before hitting the bright red "Delete" sign.
You downed your glass of wine.
"Well damn-"
You kissed Rachel. She blinked before returning it, allowing you to straddle her as she held you, kissing back.
☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
Rachel looked at your sleeping face, soft for the first time in days. Both of you were nude and curled under the blanket. She pressed a gentle kiss to your forever.
"Rachel...."
"Sorry."
You lazily opened your eyes and gave a small smile before kissing her softly. She kissed back before pulling you close.
"I told you that you would never be alone."
You smiled before falling back asleep.

So, this oneshot is based off of recent events in my life and hence why it's kinda shorter than normal so please forgive me.
