Light finally gets out if bed and wipes her dry tears. Baxter curls next to her. Last night Painty slept with her and comforted her. She forces herself to be cheerful

Lightbulb's POV: I smile in the mirror and cough. I hate forcing myself to act joyfull but then people worry about me.

I hear someone knocking on the door. "Can I come in? " Before I can respond, Paintbrush comes in "Thanks. " I sit on my bed. "Thanks for asking. " I grumble. Paintbrush smiles. "Hey, j know you haven't been feeling well., " I hated it when people didn't leave things alone, most people care and then they drop it, but Painty won't stop bothering me, it's like they actually care. They sir next to me, on the edge of the bed. "Would you like to go to the mall with me? It'll be fun! " They laid down and smiled at me. They mean it. "Oh, yeah, sure! I'd love to! "

Me and Painty approached the mall and went inside. "I'm hungry, let's go eat something!" I lick my lips. We find a small shop selling biscuits and we grab some. Paintbrush pays and I smile, biting into it. We start to walk through the mall and I shop a Boba shop. "PAINTY! LOOK! " I tug their arm and pull them towards it. "Come on! Come on! " They chuckle, "Okay okay! I'm coming! " We sit down at a table near the window and I order a mango Boba and Painty orders a coffee Boba, which I didn't even know you could get.

(N/A I'm sorry if the story/chapter sucks after this or seems rushed, I lost my motivation halfway through. 𒀱 I'm bored 𓆈 I can't wait for chapter 7 ᐠ( ᐛ )ᐟ)

We finish up and walk through the mall once more, we go into a bookstore and I browse the graphic novels with Painty and we buy some books. I noticed a love/romance novel they had under their shoulder. "Is that... A love book? " (N/A a normal romance book, I made it sound weird sry) Painty looks down and shows it to me. "Yeah! I like reading about romance every now and then. Don't tell anyone. " They snicker. We paid and left the store with 3 bags.

I see a clothing store and walk in with Paintbrush. They pick out some skirts and hold them at their hips and see how they look. They then go off to the crop tops and suits. I went to the dress area and didn't see any dresses I really liked. I saw some jewelry and went through all of it. I grab a few things before I go to try them on, a dress with flowers on it, some gloves, Leg and arm warmers, and a few cat socks. Painty follows behind and me and sits on a bench.

"Okay, which one looks better?" They hold up a flowly, red dress and a black suit. "The dress or the suit? " I look at them both and think. "The... Suit. " I finally decide. They nod and go into a dressing room. I look at all my stuff and put out stuff I don't like. "That makes me look fat," I lay more and more things away until I only have 4 things. Painty cones out in the suit and looks at me. They smile. I smile back, slightly turning pink. They notice the necklaces beside me. "That reminds me, I thought this would look good on you"



They hand me a blue-gray necklace and wait for me to put it on. I put it around my neck and looked in a mirror. "I like it! " I smile. "I knew it would look cute in it. " Paint y smiles, they said it so calm. Like they didn't just call me 'cute' I look back at them and they look confused at me. "What? " "Nothing, I just..." I looked around. I picked up some arm warmers "I-I thought these would look" I don't say cute. "Good, on you. " They smile and put them on. "Oh your right! " We make it to check out and I start to get money out for the necklace but Painty stores me. "I can pay. " They take money out and pay the cashier. Why are they being so nice? Or is this normal?

Back at the hotel I lay in bed. Looking at the ceiling. "Surely.. " I mutter. They just ment it as friends right? I mean, they had to have. I mean, is it possible that they wanted to be more? I remember how they said it calmly, no worry in their voice, no. They just ment it as a friend compliment. But I can't stop wishing it wasn't. I blush and shove my face into my pillow. Jeez Lightbulb, your a mess!
