Insecurity
*LILA POV*
I woke up very happy, I could finally see my girlfriend, Nadya, I missed her so much. Yesterday I was finally able to get out of the hospital room, and I was lying in my own bed, my mother and father were also here in the tower, it was the first time that my mother came and she was helping me to do everything, since for my stupid knee could do almost nothing.
I needed to shower, so I wrote to my mother.
- I'm here, honey - she said walking through the door - Up - she said grabbing me by the waist and lifting me up - Like we did yesterday, okay? -
- Yes - I replied
We were choosing the clothes to put on when I got out of the shower, when the thoughts came to me. What if Nadya didn't like me like this anymore? What if she found someone better there, someone with powers like her?
- Mom - I called her, turning her
- What's wrong? Does something hurt? - she asked when she saw my face
- No, nothing hurts, just what if Nadya is no longer happy to see me? - I asked for
- Didn't you talk to her yesterday? - she asked approaching me and kneeling in front of the bed where I was sitting
- Yes - I answered confused by the question
- And did she seemed that she was not happy to listen to you? - she asked with a smile
- No, on the contrary, she sounded excited and that, but she hasn't seen me yet, I can't walk and I can barely move without help - I said uncertainly.
- Well, that's the road to recovery, in a few months you'll be much better - she told me and I just hoped it would be like that - Come on, let's get dressed, we'll go in a few hours - she said, getting up again and going to the closet, taking out a tracksuit and a sweatshirt
A few minutes later, I was in the wheelchair on the way to the car to go to where Nadya is, I was excited and very nervous at the same time. My mother helped me get into the car, while my father took my suitcase to the trunk, where his were already, next to the chair.
- Ready? - asked my father sitting in the driver's seat next to my mother
- Yes - said my mother and I
- Well let's go - he said starting the car and starting the way to The Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters.
A few hours later, we arrived, I had fallen asleep in the car, so my mother woke me up
- Come on, honey, we've arrived - she said extending her hands to help me up - One, two and three - she said before getting up and sitting on the chair
- Yelena told me that she and Nadya are waiting for us at the entrance of the mansion, are you ready? - my father asked as he took our suitcases from the trunk of the car
- Yes, let's go - my mother answered, pushing my chair towards where the entrance of the mansion was.
When we were several meters from the entrance, I saw Yelena, together with Nadya and another girl at the door of the mansion, Nadya was talking to this girl and they couldn't stop laughing, which made me feel a little insecure, the brunette seemed really pretty and I'm sure she had powers, like Nadya, unlike me and...
My thoughts were interrupted by a scream coming from Nadya, who was running towards me, while her sister scolded her for running and screaming.
- LILA! - Nadya exclaimed happily - You don't know how much I've missed you - she said when she got to my side, making me laugh, Nadya has never been so open to our relationship, and even less in front of my parents and other people, it seems that she is more comfortable here - Hi Clint and Laura - she greeted my parents
- Hello, honey, it seems that you are better now - my mother said
- Yes, this place has helped me a lot, and I hope I can do the same with Lila - she said looking at me making me smile
I took her hand so that she would bend down to my level, it was strange that now she is taller than me
- I don't like that you are taller now - was the first thing I told her
- That's the first thing you're going to tell me - she said, smiling.
- Yes - I mocked her smiling, which made her pout
- Aren't you going to say hello to me? - she said before Yelena and the dark-haired girl came to our side, which made her get up, but she didn't let go of my hand.
- Hello, little one- Yelena greeted me, giving me a kiss on the head before greeting my parents.
- And you are? - I asked the unknown girl, it might sound a bit rude, and I might also be a bit jealous, we haven't seen each other for 4 days
- Kitty, I help your girlfriend with the training - she introduced himself extending his hand
- She's also my friend - Nadya informed, which made me even more jealous.
- Lila - I introduced myself extending my free hand
- I know, your girlfriend won't stop talking about you - she said resting her elbow on MY girlfriend's shoulder, although that information made me a little less jealous, just a little bit
- Very funny Kitty - Nadya said, making the brunette laugh - Well, let's go inside, I can't wait to show you everything there is, it's incredible, everyone here has different powers and the Professor can enter your mind - Nadya addressed me with an emotion that made me smile
- Well, Nadya, before all that, we have to go to the Professor, he will want to know that they have arrived - said her sister
- Right, let's go Lila and Kitty, besides I think Jean is also with him and Wanda, they were in some kind of training of theirs - she replied, taking my chair and starting to push - They spend their lives training, I don't know how not they're bored, I hate my training - she said as we went to what I think was the training room where they were
We got to the training room, which was huge, we saw that Wanda was training, while Jean and who I guess was the teacher, a bald man in an electric wheelchair and a suit jacket.
Nadya opened the door without warning.
- They are here, Professor - she explained making Wanda give him a bad look
- Could you tell me before opening the door, you scared me and I almost sent you a ball of energy - Wanda complained
- It wouldn't be the first time this has happened - she said without giving it importance, making me look at her incredulously - what? - she asked looking at me
After a few hours talking with the teacher, we were finally able to go to our rooms, I went to Nadya's room, which must be said to be more decorated than the one at the tower.
- You have decorated it a lot - I commented
- Most of the things are not mine, most of the posters you see are of Kitty, the photos were given to me by Jean and other Wanda and all the plants you see are also Wanda's and are still alive thanks to her, she comes all every day to water them, because he knows that if it were up to me they would already be dead - she explained
- That is to say, that most of the things are not yours - I said laughing
- Yes, except for the books, Yelena brought them to me when she went to the tower to get more of my things, she will continue going to the tower constantly, but I'll stay until she's ready - she told me.
- And I'll stay with you - I finished her sentence
- Thank you - she told me and I looked at her confused
- why? -
- For being here -
- You need to be here because of your powers and I need you, so the best thing was for me to come - I said - Now, who is that Kitty? - I said showing my serious face, making her laugh
- Are you jealous? - she said laughing
- It's not funny, she looked at you a lot and you couldn't stop laughing, she also has powers -
- Do you think I'm going to leave you for her, just because she has powers? Lila, we've been together for more than half a year, I'm not going to leave you for another girl because she has powers - she said firmly - Okay? -
- Okay -
- Well, now, let's go to the dining room, it's time to eat, then we'll take your things and I'll take you to your room - she said getting up from the bed, where he had previously sat
- I'm not going to sleep here with you? - I asked surprised, in the tower although we have two rooms we always sleep in the same room
- Do you want to? The bed is big, but I don't want to hurt your knee if we sleep together, I could have a nightmare and - she started to ramble but I cut her off
- I want to, and you're not going to hurt me, also when you have a nightmare, you move less than when you don't have one - I said, and it was true, when she has a nightmare she stays completely still, it seems she doesn't even breathe, she wasn't like this at the start, she moved a lot, but in recent months her nightmares have changed and her way of suffering them too.
- Fine, but the first time I hurt you, we sleep separately, it's not what I want but it's how it should be - she said
- Deal - I accepted
- Okay, let's go to the cafeteria, they're probably waiting for us already - she said starting to push my chair.
