Another update! I apologize for how much angst was in the last chapter, so I tried to keep it lighthearted. Since I haven't had many interactions with Anne, I decided to include her in this chapter. I really want to start writing the descent to Amphibia, but I wanna build the plot. I want the trio to catch feelings gradually, but I'm not sure if I should have them get into relationships before or during Amphibia. If you guys have any suggestions please let me know. If there is anything that could make my story is better please tell me. Anyways, enjoy the story!

"I'm screamin' at a God, I don't know if I believe in

'Cause I don't know what else I can do

I'm still holdin' on to everything that's dead and gone

I don't wanna say goodbye, 'cause this one means forever

Now you're in the stars and six-feet's never felt so far

Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers

Oh, it hurts so hard

For a million different reasons

You took the best of my heart

And left the rest in pieces."

The following morning you were picked up by your mother. Every time you looked at Sasha, her face turned red. You decided not to talk about what had happened last night but didn't get away without an earful from your mom.

"What is wrong with you?! You could have overdosed! Even worse, you could have died!"

"I'm sorry mom. I was stupid. I won't do it again."

"Like hell, you won't. From now on I'll be handling your medications."

You looked out the car window to try and avoid the uncomfortable situation. All because of a stupid mistake, your mom was yelling at you early in the morning. But at least it was for a good reason.

The vivid dream you had last night lingered in your mind. Years spent going to therapy, by mental health professionals didn't help but your mind push those memories away as a coping method.

Your mother seemed to notice your discomfort, "Darling? Are you alright? Do I need to take you to a hospital?"

"No, I'm fine. I was thinking about the nightmare I had last night."

"Would you like to talk about it?" Her eyes softened.

You grimaced, "I'd rather not."

She nodded her head and decided it was best to lecture you some other time. The car ride didn't last much longer. As soon as your mother pulled into the driveway and stopped the car, you got up and ran into your room. The sky was gray and gloomy, reflecting how you were feeling.

You jumped onto your bed, the softness bringing you comfort. You get a dip in the bed, as your mother sat next to you.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you this morning, I was just worried about you, honey."

You didn't say anything but closed your eyes. No words had to be said for your mother to understand how you were feeling. She wrapped you up in a warm embrace.

You calmed down and hugged her back, and she ran her hands through your hair.

"I love you very much, darling."

"I love you too."

She smiled sadly and got off your bed, heading back downstairs. You didn't feel so sad anymore, and your mother's comfort helped.

You grabbed your phone and decided to scroll through social media, curious about what everyone was doing. A notification popped up at the top of your screen. It was a text message from Sasha. She was making sure everything was okay after last night.

Text Conversation:

Sasha❤️: Hey (Y/N), it's me, Sasha. I wanted to make sure you were okay after last night.

You contemplated leaving her on read, but decided against it, not having the heart to ignore someone who helped you not to have an overdose, and even stayed and cuddled with you.

(Y/N)🍓: I'm fine. My mom's taking me to the doctor later today, so she took the day off. Hey, I'm sorry for last night, I was being a dumbass and you didn't deserve to have to deal with me.

Sasha❤️: Don't apologize. I did it because I wanted to, not because I had to. You're my friend. I care for you.

(Y/N)🍓: Thanks Sasha, I appreciate it.

Sasha❤️: Don't mention it. I'll see you some other time. Try and take the right amount of pills next time, please.

(Y/N)🍓: Will do. 👍

*Text Conversation Ends*

Your mom had allowed you to skip school for today because of last night's ordeal but didn't come without a lecture.

You had left before Anne and Marcy had woken up, leaving them confused and slightly worried. They made sure to ask you about it when you come back to school.

You were staring at the ceiling thinking about the previous situations, where you heard a loud noise followed by footsteps. The door swung open and your mom had a look on her face that reminded you of a kid in a candy shop. 'I thought she was in a bad mood?'

"Care to explain this?"

She shows you what she was looking at on her phone. It was a picture of you and Sasha. (Being two bros in a hot tub five feet apart cuz they're not gay.)

"What-?! How do you have that photo? Who took it?!" You blushed, embarrassed.

"Sasha's mother sent it to me. I knew something was going on!"

"That's photoshop! I swear that isn't me!"

"The picture doesn't lie, sweetheart."

You covered your face with your hands and buried yourself into your bed. Your mother just laughed at you.

"Don't be embarrassed. I'm not surprised."

"Mom stoppp."

She smirked, succeeding in making you flustered.

"Alright then. You should get ready to go to the doctor so we aren't late."

You threw a pillow at her while she closed the door. 'Why is she always messing with me?'

You had only missed one day of school and yet you already had work to make up. Anne invited you over to her house to come to pick it up. Not wanting to fall behind, you accepted and made sure not to bring any medicine this time. The whole situation is gonna bother you for a while. Well, except for the part with the cuddling. 'Was honestly worth it.'

Your mother's voice echoed from the hallway. It was time to leave for the doctor. You rushed downstairs and followed her to the car.

On the way to the doctor's office, you managed to convince your mom to let you stay at Anne's house for a little bit, so you could get your makeup work. Not without a threat, that if you pulled some stupid shit like that again you would be in major trouble.

✧˖°ʚ🍓ɞ♡

To your mother's relief, the doctor said everything was fine. After waiting to be seen for an hour, you were told you needed to take it easy, as you could have damaged an organ. You would have to do things with caution so your body could heal.

You got a signed note from the doctor exempting you from any physical activity.

"Now you heard the doctor (Y/N), you have to take it easy for a while. This means not hitting the griddy on a Frozen-themed scooter."

"I don't even have that Disney princess scooter anymore."

"Still. I know you, and you would pull something like that."

You mumbled a sarcastic response.

"I'll drop you off at Anne's, but only because I know her parents are responsible. If you even attempt some shit like you did yesterday, you're gonna be in big trouble."

"I understand."

A cozy-looking home comes into view. It was light blue with a dark roof.

"Alright. I love you. Don't get into trouble. I'll come to pick you up in a few hours."

"Okay love you, mom."

You got out of the car and closed the door, waving at your mother with a smile. She drove off and you approached the front door. With a knock, the door opens, an older woman stands in front of you.

'She must be Anne's mother.'

"Yes?"

"Hello Ma'am, I'm (Y/N). I'm here to see Anne."

"Oh, you must be Anne's new friend. She talks about you a lot. Come in." She makes way for you to come in and you thank her.

"Anne! Your friend is here!"

Footsteps running down the stairs reveal Anne, and she walks up to you.

"Hey (Y/N)"

"I'll leave you two." Anne's mother walks into the kitchen.

"Hi."

Something furry rubs up against your leg, startling you. You look down to see the cutest creature you have ever seen.

"Aww! Anne, who is this little cutie?"

"Oh, that's my baby, Domino."

You passed the sniff test and scooped Domino up into your arms.

"I adore cats! I love them so much, but my mom won't let me have one." Domino licked your cheek and you squealed. 'SO CUTE SO CUTE SO CUTE!!'

Anne laughed at your reaction. "Let's go upstairs."

You nodded and followed her, bringing Domino with you. But not without cooing and giving the cat kisses on its head.

When you reached a new bedroom, you sat on the floor, cradling Domino like a baby. Anne had to admit, she was a little jealous. (More like a lot)

Much to Anne's surprise, Domino let you rub her belly.

"Wow. I'm surprised she isn't scratching you. She hates letting people touch her belly."

You smile brightly, treating Domino as if she were your child. You were a cat person.

✧˖°ʚ🍓ɞ♡

You and Anne talked and went over the homework. Anne almost had to drag you away from Domino. As of now, you were packing away the work in your bag.

Sometimes, you would act like a cat. Ridiculous? I know. Lazy and uncaring, but only when it's right. Bored, you looked over at Anne who was now playing with Domino. You giggled at her. 'How cute.'

While staring, you managed to get a better look at her. Her beautiful curly hair, her caramel-colored skin, her long, thick eyelashes, and her soft lips. What would happen if you kissed them? You felt your face heat up.

'God I'm so gay. We just met and I'm already having these thoughts.'

Anne noticed your staring and your eyes met. You stumbled backwards in surprise. Face red as a tomato.

"Sorry-I didn't mean to stare."

She blushed in realization at what had just happened. While Domino was giving you both the side eye.

(Domino: I know what you are (Y/N) 🤨)

Anne got up and reached out for you, which you gladly took. She seemed to be staring at you, dazed, with an unreadable expression.

"It's fine. Are you ok?"

You nodded, embarrassed.

"By the way, where were you this morning?"

"My mom came and picked me up early, sorry for not telling you."

She shook her head. "Don't be sorry, I just wanted to make sure you were ok."

Her eyes drifted to your lips. She started to lean forward, slowly, and your heart started beating fast. Before Anne could lean in any further, a crash noise interrupted your moment.

Domino had knocked something over. If a cat could make a smug look, it would be the look describing Domino's expression.

Anne ran over to pick up whatever it was, and you stood there, like a scarecrow. The face and the tip of your ears are completely red.

'I know a cat did not just steal my chance.'

But you couldn't be angry at Domino, as you had too much of a sweet spot for cats.

(Bro (Y/N) has so much rizz it's unbelievable. Boutta bag three baddies within a week.)

You weren't bad looking yourself. You had soft (H/C) hair, pretty eyes, long eyelashes and a nice jawline.

But you couldn't lie, that you wished Domino didn't ruin your moment.

For the rest of your time at Anne's house, you watched a TV drama. Though, from the corner of your eye, you noticed Anne kept staring at your lips.

When it was time to leave, you gave Domino a goodbye hug, and Anne walked you to the front door. Feeling mischievous, you gave her a peck on the cheek before scattering back into your mother's car.

The last thing you saw was her standing there, shocked, completely red.

'Score.'

(✧˖°ʚ🍓ɞ♡)

I know some of you might have wanted to kiss Anne, and I understand, but I'm gonna add some more plot before we officially start make passes. However, in appreciation for you guys and the amount of support I've been shown, I will write what would have happened if Domino didn't interrupt you.

*Reminder! This extra isn't canon to the story. I'm just writing for fun, and too make up for the large amount of angst in the last chapter.*

Extra:  She shook her head. "Don't be sorry, I just wanted to make sure you were ok."

Her eyes drifted to your lips. She started to lean forward, slowly, and your heart started beating fast. Your faces were inches apart from each other. 

You closed your eyes as Anne leaned in and kissed you. Her soft lips were on yours, and you kissed back, leaning into the kiss. She tasted sweet, and it made your head fuzzy. You wrapped your arms around her shoulders and melted into the kiss. This closeness made you feel butterflies like your heart was fluttering.  Anne caressed the side of your cheek with her hand.

The sound of the door opening made you both stop. Anne's father stood in the doorway. Standing still like an npc,  with a surprised look on his face. You and Anne still held onto each other,  but were both staring bewildered after being caught. He slowly closed the door.

(This was my first time ever writing a kiss scene, so I'm sorry if it sucks.)
