After the shooting, Vada would have terrible nightmares and episodes of just gut-wrenching PTSD from the aftermath. and to prevent these feelings from eating away at her mental health, she started to keep you around for comfort and someone to rely on for support, sometimes you’d stay over just to help her fall and stay asleep at night. Not only did it aid her needs but also yours as well. None of you should have gone through such a horrible thing but the least you can do for each other... is stand by each other.
After months of this cycle of security, these hangouts, and sleepovers, both of you were bound to start catching drifts of attraction and made you mend a tight bond with Vada, and her little sister was starting to notice your presence around their house more and more. Amelia wasn't quite old enough to understand her sister's sexuality but she definitely knew something was up between the two of you and it caused her to raise some eyebrows.
Vada always dodged questions about you as much as she could from her sister, quite embarrassed and annoyed as Amelia would not stop rambling about you and Vada and it made the teen flustered and embarrassed.
One night after finishing a dramatic movie with her on Vada's laptop, she gives herself a massive stretch to get all her energy out as she then tangles her limbs around you. It's very dark in Vada's bedroom as the two of you just cuddle in the darkness and aim playful comments at one another, all was so romantic and blissful...it almost put you to sleep.
But then the lights go on as you and Vada are hit with a blaring light, causing your girlfriend to groan in irritation as she squints her eyes shut. "I knew it! you're with her again!" Amelia exclaims standing in the doorway of Vada's room squealing like she just spotted Santa Claus.
Vada immediately registers what's going on as she springs up to shoo her sister out of her room. "Get out, and don't tell Mom," she says with exasperation, causing Amelia to stubbornly stand her ground.
