"[i]It is...It's been burned into my mind. I had no family. I had puppeteers...[/i]"
[b]Ophélia grips the pillow tightly, her eyes staring at the ground.[/b]
Abby bit her lip. This was her moment. Her chance. She put her hand under Ophélia's chin, bringing her head up to look into her eyes.
[i]"Don't say that. Ophélia... you're not a failure. You're everything but a failure. You're perfect. Look at yourself... you're so amazing I can't even begin to understand... It's impossible for you to be a failure. You're just too amazing... Although I'm the failure... I can't even stand being around you. You're too... you. You make me feel so... so... strong... and I'm to weak to confess my true feelings..."[/i]
She looks down.
[i]"You're not a failure... you were meant to be..."[/i]
She gulps, this was it. The moment.
[i]"Ophélia... I... I... I think I'm... in love... with you."[/i]
[b]Ophélia faints upon hearing it again. Her head falls and hits the bed frame. Her legs limp. She seemed fine, Though passed out from the sudden emotion.[/b]
Abby chuckled a bit. After releasing her feelings... she burst out laughing. It was like she had just lost a thousand pounds.
[i]"I'll just... wait until you get up..."[/i]
She shifted Ophélia from her uncomfortable position, placing her in a better one. She hugged her, laying next to her.
"[i]I feel...Odd...Happy, Angry...Sad. Really happy...Ecstatic...[/i]"
[b]Ophélia stared up at the roof. Her heart was clearly racing.[/b]
"[i]Give me five minutes...I need to calm...[/i]"
"[i]I believe so...
Tell you what, Abby...[/i]"
[b]She leans close.[/b]
"[i]Give me two days...And I'll have a for sure answer. My mind needs rest...Sudden emotion makes me confused.[/i]"
[i]"O-Okay... two days... sure... I'll wait... thank you..."[/i]
She smiles at her, hugging her tightly.
[i]"It feels good to get it off my chest..."[/i]
