Wednesday Addams has never regretted anything, but if she had to be honest, there was one thing she regretted, and that was leaving Enid Sinclair years ago, a year after her graduation, She and Enid had been living together, but Wednesday left, she leaving only a letter, was telling her that they could no longer be together and that they should separate, because their relationship was a waste of time, and that her no longer loved her, Wednesday was pained to write that last part, because she loved Enid Sinclair madly. She didn't know how Enid reacted, or what happened to her, she knew that she had gone to her parents' house many times asking for her, but Wednesday told her family to tell Enid that she left, or that Wednesday didn't want to see her anymore. Wednesday has no regrets in front of others, but for herself this was the greatest of all, because each day that passed became more painful and she longed to see the wolf again, she leaft Enid when they were 20 years old, they have already passed 4 years since that day, Enid had her private networks, she couldn't know anything about her, she didn't dare ask Bianca or Eugine to let them see Enid's profile, and she wouldn't talk to Yoko, the vampire sent a letter to the mansion saying that if he ever went near Enid again or looking for her, he would drain her until there was nothing left, and Divina, Divina told her she would make him forget about Enid with her siren song, and Wednesday, she did't know what was more devious, and decided that she would rather be drained by Yoko than forget Enid.
______________________
Wednesday was coming out of a book signing, and he was hungry, so he went to a small restaurant, it had warm lights, an ambiguous atmosphere, it seemed calm, and apparently there was live music, the name of the restaurant was strange, but everything in Wednesday's life was, "YoVina in the marine blood", Wednesday enters and sits at a table by the window, and it starts to rain, a waiter approaches and Wednesday is almost sure she knows his face, a tall young man, yellow-green eyes, long brown-blonde hair, gives him the menu and he smiles, as if he knows her, he looks strangely like Divina, and then he remembers Kent, Divina's twin. Wednesday orders a Black Seaweed and Mushroom Lasagna and a bottle of wine.
Wednesday feels that the amplifier is turned on on stage, and a girl with brown hair and some blonde highlights is tuning her guitar, behind her a boy with a hat and next to her a long-haired girl with a piano and the Song begins
"I wanna hold the hand inside you,
I wanna take the breath that's true"
Wednesday recognizes the voice and lifts her head and looks at the stage to see Enid Sinclair singing, the song was painful, and full of sadness, and it reminded her of their last month of relationship, when she started to drift away and Enid just wanted to understand her and be with her, there, but Wednesday pushed her further and further away.
"Some kind of night into your darkness,
Close your eyes with what's not there,
Fade into you, stranger you never know"
Enid looked forward and Wednesday looked at her face, she looked thinner, her eyes looked broken, and she seemed more emaciated, her appearance was of someone who did not live in this world, a lost soul as they are known, Wednesday cannot accept this view.
"Fade into you,
Strange you never knew, fade into you,
I think it's strange you never knew,
Fade into you,
Strange you never knew
Fade into you, i think it's strange you never knew"
The Song ends and Wednesday doesn't understand why her chest tightens too much and hurts, and it's when Enid speaks that her world collapses.
~Good night guys- her voice muffled- I'm Enid and these are my guys from the band, Fangs and rattles, the next song is a little less sad -she laughs bitterly-, it's a pretty good song, i took time writing , is the point view of two people, but the message is understood, here goes Iris
The crowd applauds euphorically and Wednesday watches Enid practice the chord on her guitar before starting.
"And i'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause i know that your feel me somehow,
You're the closest to heaven that i' ll ever be
And i don't want to go home right now"
Wednesday hears the voice and feels so dizzy and sore, she feels her eyes burn and drinks a little wine to hide it, but she doesn't stop feeling that those first sentence makes her think of her, she remembers when she said exactly that to Enid,*You are my heaven Enid, the closest I will be to the*.
"I just don't wanna miss you tonight
And i don't want the world to see me
'Cause i don't think they'd undertand,
When everything's made to be broken, i just want you to know who i am"
For Wednesday that part was all of Enid, because she remembers when they were in her room in NeverMore one night, when Wednesday and Enid found the stalker, after months of searching for him, Wednesday asks
*~why did you stay, even though your friends warn about me?, they are right you always get hurt when you help me, and they see it but you don't, I don't know what happens,
~Wednesday, I love you, and I don't think they understand, they can't see me, because they will never understand, they won't understand the way I love you*
"Yeah, you bleed just to know, you're alive"
Wednesday looks at the stage again and realizes that Enid's eyes are foggy, and he feels her pain, how can he not feel it when he loves her so much? Wednesday just wants to go on stage to hug Enid and kiss her again, but that would be cheeky on her part, since she was the one who hurt the girl, and it is seen that Enid's pain is still present and still hurts, and Wednesday wants to remedy it and start over, love her again and never let her go, remedy the lost years and love To Enid in body and soul, to feel Enid's touch on her again, to feel Enid's lips all over her, to love Enid and make her hers, she wants Enid, she longs for Enid, and she will always be Enid.
"And i don't want the world to see me
'Cause i don't think they'd undertand,
When everything's made to be broken, i just want you to know who i am,
I just want you to know who i am
I just want you to know who i am"
The song ends and Enid stops playing and with the back of her hand wipes away the small tears that fell, Wednesday looks down and eats a piece of lasagna, seeing Enid cry was always a pain for her and her own eyes turned into wells His father explained that this happened because you love the person so much that you feel all of them, and their pain is yours too.
~good guys and girls, the song was very motivating, I'm sorry - Enid laughs watery- I promise the next one will be happier, in fact there's a song I wrote recently, it's about loving again, and meeting that person again , and never say goodbye, in one of my drunken nights the epiphany hit me, Yoko was a witness -she laughs
~yes, hit you, fifteen stitches from your forehead to your head- yoko laughs-
~it was a good hit, anyway, don't drink too much -she laughs charmingly as Wednesday remembers- this song is called daylight
"My love was a cruel as the cities i lived in,
Everyone looked worse in the light, there
Are so many lines that i've crossed unforgiven, i'll tell you the truth, but never goodbye, i dont wanna look at anything else
Now that i saw you, i don't wanna think
Of anything else now that i thought of you,
I've been sleeping so long in a 20-yeat dark night, and now i see daylight"
Wednesday listening to her feels how thousands of feelings hit her, and the memories become fresher. *~You know Weds now that I see you, I don't want to see anyone else, or think about anyone else, because having you is enough, with you I could see the light of day, you made me see how beautiful everything is, and your family It made me think how beautiful love is, I used to think that everything was dangerous you know, like the red warning signs that warn you of danger, that's how I felt with my family or other dates, but with you and your family everything is Gold Wednesday , I felt that my life was black and white, that's why it filled me with colors, but I see you now and black and white looks beautiful on you, because you are full of gold Wednesday, it was so precious to me * Wednesday loved Enid more this day because Enid was his and always would be, but Wednesday chickened out, a word that Wednesday herself thought would not be in her description, but all of Enid was passion and love, Enid was her world and she was afraid of losing her, because one of her visions saw her injured and bleeding, unconscious on the floor, and a black-haired girl begging to wake up, and Wednesday thought that she caused it, but now that she looks at it, Enid has a new scar on her forehead. "the accident" was with Yoko and Yoko has long black hair, and yes Wednesday thought she caused Enid's drunkenness and her physical injury, and damn Wednesday wanted to avoid what she herself would cause by leaving her.
"Maybe you ran with the wolves and refused to seattle down, maybe i've stoemed out of every single room in this town, threw out our cloaks and our daggers because it's morning now, it's brighter now, now"
Wednesday sighs and feels foolish, because she had to stay with Enid to prevent this, but she misunderstood everything and broke their relationship, and ruined her and Enid's happiness, and caused Enid pain, caused Enid to get drunk until she hurt herself, Enid cant feel good, because the pain was unbearable and he had to drink to extinguish it and that hurt, hurt for Wednesday and now more than anything he needed to remedy it
"And i can still see it all, in my mind
All of you, all of me, intertwined, i once belived love would be black and white
But it's golden, golden, and i can still see it
All my head, back and forth from new york, singing in your bed, i once belived love would be burning red, but it's golden,
Like a Daylight, like Daylight, like Daylight, Daylight, i don't wanna look at anything else now that i saw you,
(I can never look away -yoko canta entre medio-) and i dont wanna think of anything else now that i thounght of you"
Wednesday is thinking about whether he should stand up and get out or stand up and go on stage and kiss Enid Sinclair aka Enid Addams and ask her to marry her and take her away from this place and love her, because that's what Enid deserves to be loved for. and never stop, so Wednesday who is selfish and determined, can't let someone else take Enid, Enid is hers as much like as she is Enid's, so as Enid smiles and talks Wednesday stands up and walks towards her
~well that's one of the last songs, and I feel like it's very personal, but really this person is everything to me, and I'd like to see her again, because I still.....
Enid is silenced when she feels that someone takes her chin with two cold fingers and a hand takes her waist and some lips hover over hers, Enid was going to push the person until she recognizes the smell of books and moss characteristic of Wednesday, it is then when she lets out a breath of surprise, relief, because she's been wanting this for four years and now she can taste the bitter cyanide and mint on Wednesday's lips again, Enid pulls away a little and Wednesday looks at her with bright eyes and before before Enid can do something Wednesday tugs on Enid's hand and drags her off stage outside, into the torrential rain, Yoko is in shock, Ajax is speechless not knowing what happened, Yoko was going to go after Enid, but Divina stopped tells her
~let Enid solve it -speaks calmly- I'm worried too, but it's better that this happens now
______________________
Enid looks Wednesday in the eye before speaking.
~Wednesday, what... what are you doing here?
~I...I -Wednesday couldn't find the words- I was in a bookstore signing books, I wanted to eat something before going back to New Jersey and I came here, I didn't expect to see you - Wednesday is honest- however I feel that it wasn't just a coincidence , I mean, I could go to another place and that, however I - Wednesday did not understand why it was so difficult for him to speak-
~why did you kiss me Wednesday?
And here is the question Wednesday was waiting for, and he had the answer, but he was afraid of the reaction, he left Enid alone for four years, her left Enid through a letter, and it just vanished, and her knew how hard it was for her. Enid, and she had to be honest now, she had to be the one to take this step and admit that she loved Enid so much it was scary, that she loved her too much and was terrified of she, because the things she was willing to give up and do for Enid were terrifying. think, but she was an Addams and her love was like that, but she didn't want to scare Enid, but tonight was perfect to give and give and never regret.
~Because I love you Enid, I never stopped doing it, I... This is hard, I never stopped doing it, I was scared and I thought I would overwhelm you with my feelings, and I was terrified of doing that instead of loving me like you do you will end up hating, because Enid you are my world, I made a mistake, and it's the worst thing I've ever done, because believe me Enid, these years without you don't feel good, like I thought they should feel, plunged into bitterness that is not a good feeling at first time, and all I could do was look at our photo album and try to push away everything I felt, but Enid it's hard to forget you, as I told you years ago, the mark you left on me is indelible, and I realized that You're everything I need
Wednesday finishes saying it and kisses Enid again and Enid takes her cheeks with both hands kissing her back, although Wednesday Addams broke her in a thousand ways by leaving her that way, Enid knew that she and Wednesday were destined and nothing could change it, so she was willing to try everything with Wednesday again, once they separated due to lack of air Wednesda looks at her with misty eyes and runny makeup due to the rain, Enid pulls her into a hug, Wednesday hugs her delicately and nervously, Enid whispers in her ear
~Wednesday I have waited four damn years, i was waiting for you, I longed every day to see you cross the door of our apartment and say that you loved me, sometimes I would leave the door ajar in case you forgot your keys, like you used to, and you could enter, I stayed waking hours looking towards the street waiting to see you arrive, I still do, after four years I still wait and long for you Wednesday, I love you nothing will ever change that, and you cant never scare me idiot, I could never hate you, no matter what happens it will always be you and only you, you are my person Weds, and it is enough to keep you by my side, even if you are just sitting writing, feeling your presence I am satisfied.
Enid breaks away from the hug and kisses Wednesday again, gently, looking into her eyes, then kisses her forehead and pulls Wednesday to her chest and rests her chin on Wednesday's head.
~first of all Enid, don't leave your door open again, and second Enid -Wednesday begins- is that a yes to marry me?
~what? -Enid asks, she understands what Wednesday asked, but she needs to confirm- get married?
~Yes Enid, ever since I saw you singing I've wanted to ask you, and ever since we've been together I'm taking care of this -she says taking out a black velvety box from inside her coat- with me because I didn't know how to ask, I was nervous, because we'd only been in a relationship for six months when I decided that I wanted to spend my life with you, the only one who respects my limits without your feeling bad, the one who sees me as I really am and is not terrified, and the only one who can match my love.
Wednesday opens the box revealing a ring with a royal raven head, in her eyes instead of being empty bowls there is black tourmaline with reddish sparkles, and the ring is pale rose gold, Enid smiles through tears, because only Wednesday Addams asks marriage with a real raven head, and it makes everything look beautifully aesthetic and Enid loves her, so in response she nods and kisses Wednesday once more who smiles her typical smile and slips the ring onto Enid, then her pulls out another box and hands it to Enid saying
~This is mine, put it on me
Enid opens the box and reveals a perfectly polished wolf tooth, surrounded by yellow calcites with black tourmaline, as if it were a sunflower and the fang its sun, Enid slides it onto Wednesday's ring finger, and Wednesday smiles down at her
~You may wonder, why do I have the ring with color? Well, it is because yellow represents joy, originality and intelligence, it also represents the sun, and you Enid are all of that for me. And you have the black ring because it is my color and tourmaline is the stone that represents my family, so now it also belongs to you, mia lupo.
Enid has tears of happiness and Wednesday knows that Enid is happy and knows that she loves her, she knows that Enid is willing to do anything for her, as Wednesday is willing to do anything for Enid, Wednesday is reluctant to physical contact, almost never initiates it, unless he is in privacy, and it is always with Enid that he starts it, only for Enid, that is why he leaves Yoko and Divina speechless, who went out to see Enid worried, and when they left they not only see the proposition scene but also the hug that Wednesday initiates and the kiss that he gives Enod on his nose and then on his lips.
~That means I have to be Enid's maid of honor -Yoko speaks to inform her arrival- and Div too
Enid looks at them blushing, and Wednesday has that death glare at Yoko for interrupting the moment.
~Just so you know Addams- Yoko begins- you've looked at me like that since we've known each other, and believe me if you disappear again leaving Enid alone, I'll look for you and torture will no longer be a pleasure for you.
~I know, and I'm glad Enid has a friend as unpleasant as you -Wednesday scoffs- I won't leave again -she affirms- unless Enid asks me to.
~okay- Divina speaks- we trust you and if Enid wants you back in her life, Wednesday is accepted, I respect it and Yoko the same - Divina smiles at them- now both come in or they'll catch a cold, the storm is coming, I have to close the restaurant.
~thank God - Enid speaks- and to you Yoki - Enid mocks when mentioning the nickname.
She and Wednesday walk in hand in hand, Enid helps close the restaurant and the four of them meet Kent and Ajax in the back room going up to the building where they live.
Wednesday is satisfied with how her night ended, she had Enid again and this time she would not leave her and no one would take her away, this time Wednesday would love Enid as she deserved.
