Clack

Crap.

Elphaba was coming into the dorm, and Galinda... well...

Galinda was in a bit of a predicament. Tissues were surrounding her; she was going to be found like this in the bathroom. She was dead. So dead.

"Galinda, are you in here?" Elphaba asked, while opening the door. it surprised Galinda so bad, she knocked over the makeup and perfumes on her counter.

"Oh shit." Galinda said, worrying Elphaba.

Ca-Click

"Galinda... I'm coming in, are you okay?" Elphaba said, opening the door faster.

Fuck, I'm so dead. Galinda thought, she grabbed all the shattered items and threw them in the garbage. But what was she going to do with... the bloody tissues, covered with evidence on the self-harm.

SLAM

"Galinda! Where are you?" Elphaba said, rushing around the dorm.

This was surprising, since they still... loathed each other. Right...? But... Elphaba sounded so concerned, while Galinda kept cutting herself. It felt so stereotypical to keep doing this, but she just.. didnt really know how to actually stop about this.

"Galinda...?" Elphaba said, calmer this time. making it to the bathroom door.

"What's going on..." Elphaba said quietly, and Galinda could hear her back slide against the door, if not for the few inches of wood between them, they would be leaning up against each other.

"I'm sorry... I did something bad... I didn't mean to, I was just so stressed today... it just happened." Galinda muttered, her voice cracking.

"Galinda, can you let me in so I can help you...?" Elphaba said, obviously kind of confused about what Galinda was talking about.

"Y-...Your sure. you won't be disgusted by me at all...? cause I'm not perfect right now... and never again after repeating this." Galinda said, sobbing while speaking.

"Yes, I'm one hundred percent sure, Galinda."

"If you say so..." Galinda said quietly, opening the door, and surprising Elphaba.

Galinda had cuts on her thighs, drops of blood coming out of the cuts, while Galinda only looked at them, ashamed.

"Oh Galinda... I'm so sorry." Elphaba said, reaching for a med kit under the sink, and wrapping her thighs, giving needed attention to the cuts.

"Y-You... aren't... Disgusted with me, at all...?" Galinda mumbled; her face turned away from Elphaba's gaze.

"No, My sweet. i would never judge you or someone else just for this." Elphaba said calmly, finishing the bandaging and putting the med kit back.

"M-My Sweet...?" Galinda asked, surprised at the sudden new nickname.

Elphaba's face turned a shade of violet, surprising Galinda.

"N-Never mind that. just... let me carry you." Elphaba said, face still dusted with a slight shade of violet, and picking up the younger girl.

"W-WHAT??" Galinda said, surprised when Elphaba had surprisingly picked her up.

Elphaba sat Galinda down on her bed, and got up, until. "Elphie... stay.?" Galinda said, stretching out her hands and arms so Elphaba could embrace her, and she did. "Only tonight, okay?" Elphaba said, and Galinda nodded, and they both eventually fell asleep.
