Daughter of Dracula (GirlxGirl)

Chapter 16

Mia's pov

-

The sun was something I hated when the morning came because it was a daily reminder that my life is shit and I have to meet a bunch of horny teenagers in a building five days a week

But on the bright side, wattpad characters don't pay attention to school unless the main characters are in the typical storyline of being paired together to do a project

Cough Luna and Aelia cough

Atleast their love story was far from cliché, there's just something about the two of them that connects

But why wasn't my own life connecting?

It's 4:40am and the one person on my mind is my close friend. Yes a friend. She should just be a friend and not more than a friend. Just a friend.

I'm saying 'friend' too much aren't I?

Perhaps it's my brain trying to convince itself that she should just remain as my friend but God it's becoming so hard.

Why can't I just throw myself to Chad and get my life over with? I've always had a crush on him and he's finally noticing me. But why can't I shake her out of my thoughts?

Yesterday was the most fun I've ever had. After a shitty start to my day, she came and finished it off with a bang. Crashing an open house and a small kid's party then meeting the one and only Alexis and Hayden, authors of one of the best selling books. I swear, she just manages to bring out that side of me

It's so weird how much I'm so comfortable around her, I've never allowed myself to let down my walls with anyone, yet Dani manages to walk right through them

But I can't. I just. Can't.

She's my friend and I'm going on a date with Chad. That's it, that's how it has to be.

What the heck would my mother even say if she found out I had a small crush on a girl?

They'd go all crazy on everyone, she's already pressuring Zack to marry a woman. Lastnight before I went to bed, I heard her sneak a girl in the house just to introduce her to Zack.

Of course my brother was uncomfortable but he still talked to the girl because it was the polite thing to do, he also knew the lengths our mother would go to if she didn't get her way

The world we live in is confusing and fucked up, sometimes we don't get what we want and we have to live with that for the rest of our lives.

I just have to give up my own hope, I have to. Although she may be crazy and a raging homophobe, she's still my mother. She's supported her entire family without the help of our father and I'll always respect her for that. The least I could do was put aside my stupid crush I had on Dani and bring home a guy so my mother could smile.

That sounds so dumb, it truly is. But what else was I supposed to do?

I don't know what Dani wants with me or how she feels, I can't read people. I'm not a drama channel looking for clout.

But even if she did feel the same way, what happens then? We date behind my mother's back?

It would just be unfair to Dani, she's such a confident person which is the complete opposite of me.

I don't want her to feel left out or like I'm uncomfortable with her. She deserves to have that girlfriend that's not afraid to hold her hands in public and kiss those tempting lips whenever she wants. Dani deserves better, I don't want to hide us if we did decide to be together.
