It Was Always You

I Love You

THE NEXT DAY

Y/N's POV:

After the whole "fight" that I had yesterday, Dani has made us both stay home for the rest of the week.

I think it's an unfair punishment, I was just protecting my girlfriend. But, it was either this or telling Christina. I decided that I wanted to keep breathing so we went with this option.

All this time at home has proven to be VERY boring. Lauren and I are sitting on the couch, scrolling through episodes of the office to watch.

"Hey, choose that one, it's really funny." Lisa chimes in from her spot on the couch.

"Dinner party? No way, I've seen that like a million times." Lisa frowns as Lauren says this.

"Why are you guys even here anyways? Shouldn't you be out and about?" Lauren and I both look at each other, trying to come up with an excuse.

"Do you wanna pay for our gas money, Lisa? That stuff gets expensive." She chuckles as I feel relieved that she didn't find out.

About an hour later, Lauren goes to her room to take a nap and I'm left alone with Lisa.

"So how is your relationship going? And please, spare me the kissing stories." Lisa laughs as she takes a handful of popcorn from my bowl.

"It's actually going really well. She's become my best friend." I can hear a gasp coming from her mouth.

"Um, I'm right here, Y/N. Aren't I your best friend? Girlfriends and best friends are different you rat."

"Oh....um....suuuure."

"I hate you." As soon as she says this my phone rings.

I go to pick it up and I stop in my tracks when I see the name. It's my mom.

I'm reluctant to pick up and Lisa notices. She looks over and gasps when she realizes.

I pick up and put it on speaker so Lisa can hear.

"Um. Hello?" I say quietly.

"You lying bitch. How could you lie about Brian like that?! You put him in jail, Y/N! JAIL!"

"Mom, I wasn't lying. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to send him to jail. But what he was doing wasn't right."

"You never liked him. Just because he didn't like the fact that you're a little f*g doesn't mean that you can make up lies." I look over at Lisa and her face drops. Anger replaces her concerned look as she tries to contain herself.

"Mom, I-"

"No, you know what? You're such a disappointment. I've hated you since the day you were born. Never come back to this house you-" Lisa quickly reaches over and takes the phone out of my hands. She hangs up on my mom mid sentence and looks at me with anger all over her face.

A tear falls from my eye and her anger turns into sadness. She wraps me in a tight hug and gently rocks me.

"I'm sorry, Y/N. I'm sorry. You're not a disappointment, I promise you." I start to cry even more, remembering all the harsh things my mom told me.

"She t-told me she doesn't love me."

"But she does. She does, my love, she was just angry. And who cares what she thinks? I love you so much, ok?" I nod while crying into her shoulder.

"I love you too, Lisa." For the first time in my whole life, I finally feel like I have an older sister. Someone who I can look up to and who loves me unconditionally.
