You knew who Wednesday Addams was as a person when you agreed to date her. It was very sweet, watching her try her hardest to proclaim her feelings to you. So yeah, you knew she wasn’t going to be super affectionate, but after she hugged Enid when everything went down last school year, you thought she might be open to small things.

You talked all summer, but Wednesday grew more and more distant. When you finally reunited at school, she did come to see you often, but she still wasn’t very affectionate. At most, she’d hold your hand and even then, she didn’t introduce you to people as her girlfriend.

You weren’t angry at Wednesday for being who she was, but recently you’ve realized that you want more. You didn’t want to change her. You just didn’t know if you were compatible. Maybe as friends. You want a girlfriend who at least communicates with you some of the time. You should have made sure you were on the same page before. You tried to talk to Wednesday about it, but she wasn’t getting it, which led to you two sort of arguing, and the words ‘I think we should breakup’ came out of your mouth, which is funny, because the you from six months ago would have never said that.

“What are you even saying right now?” You couldn’t tell, because that same blank expression remained, but Wednesday was staring at you in horror. Her heart felt like it was going to beat out of its chest, and she wasn’t sure but she felt like she might be on the verge of tears. She had never cried before, had never felt this burning sensation behind her eyes. You wouldn’t know this, but Wednesday had talked about you all summer to her parents. Morticia had commented that she never saw Wednesday talk so much about anything, much less a person. All summer, she had been excited to get back to you, and now here you were breaking up with her. She thought you two were fine. Wednesday absentmindedly brought her hand to her chest. Was this what heartbreak felt like? Nothing compared to this shattering in her chest. “No. You don’t mean that.”
