Wait, Do I Love You?

The Secrets Out

"You know what?  I forgot who Sophie is".  Abby spoke up.  "Isn't she that basic bitch who posts thirst traps". 

"Oh godd her thirst traps, Sophie's so hott", Max groaned dramatically.  Abby cradled her head.  "Sophie is not on your level, okay?".  "But I want her to be on my level with out her my level is lonelyyyy". 

"Hey", Ginny spoke up.  "Sophie sucks".  "Yeah, she's really suckie", Norah said.  "Good one", Ginny stated.  "Don't be sad be mad", said Ginny.  "She's dead to me", Abby exclaimed.  "Dead and buried" , Ginny said next.  "Fish food", Abby yelled. 

"Yeah.  Mad, angry. Fish food...", "yeah", the last word spoken brokenly.  "You know how to deal with being mad?", Abby asked her.  "Death?",  Max said miserably. 

"....No..", Abby said with a pause.  "Oreos, Norah get the Oreos". 

Time skip...

Tears fell down her cheeks.  She looked in the mirror but she didn't see beautiful starring back at her.  She had just duct taped around her thighs, trying to control her breathing.  Just as she finished she heard the door open, causing her to whip her head around.

"A..Abby?".  It was Max, the girl she had been in love with for years with out even realizing it. "MAX-", she yelled before tripping over her foot.  The girl ran to her to help her up.  "Um- I.. I can explain-".  Instead of yelling at her, or demanding answers she just hugged Abby. 

"Oh Abby I didn't know.  I wish you'd of told me, I want you to know that you can tell me anything".  The smaller girl let herself sink into Max's hold.  "You um... you probably have some questions..".  Max sighed and loosened her grip to look Abby in the eyes.

"Only if you feel comfortable".  The girl felt blush creeping on her cheeks.  "Well I- um.. I sort of have anorexia".  Max felt her heart sink.  The care free, fun, spunky, yet kind-hearted girl she's known for so long was hiding something so deep and dark.  She let her expression relax when she saw that Abby was about to cry, or ramble and start apologizing.  She wiped the girls tears. 

"So.. how long have you known?".  Abby shifted.  "Um four years... I'm sorry I didn't say anything!  I was just scared you and Norah would... judge me..".  Max then pulled her into an even tighter hug.  "Oh I would never judge you, I have no reason to. You're still you, in fact I would've supported you and just know I do support you as of right now.  You can always feel free to talk to me about absolutely anything".  The girl felt her heart melt. 

"Thank you", she sniffled.  "I've always found myself.. I don't know.. repulsive?  I guess?  I just never see me as how I see every other girl who seems to look so perfect".

"Hey you, no no no listen to me.  I look at you and I see beyond perfect okay?  Have you met you?  You're gorgeous, stunning, beautiful.  Literally everyone who has ever met you would agree, and it's okay to feel this way but just know that you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, and I've dated Sophie Sanchez".  The girl giggled at the last part. 

"Thank you, um.. you really think I'm that b..beautiful?".  "Yes of course".  Abby looked at her with a fond smile.  She couldn't help but blush deeper when she saw Max starring into her eyes.  She looked into Max's, and it was like she was starring at a billion bright stars, wanting to stay lost in those eyes forever.

Her eyes then fell to the girl's lips.  A shade of pink with gloss on them, she always wondered what it would be like to kiss the girl.

Max clearly noticed she was starring at her lips because suddenly she found herself leaning in to capture Abby's. 

When the other girl realized she froze with her eyes wide open.  Oh my god.  Holy fuck Max is kissing me- WAIT MAX IS KISSING ME?!?  Her mind started racing before she realized where she was, then she started to kiss back.

A few minutes have passed before they realized they where getting a bit carried away.  Abby cleared her throat.  "Hm, so erm what eh.. did that mean?". 

"Well, it means I like you, and judging that you uh kissed me back I hope it means that you feel the same way". Abby felt like she could literally spontaneously combust in that moment.  "Shit wait, actually?". 

Max giggled.  "Yes silly, I have for a while but I started to think you didn't like girls in that way so I pushed it down".  "Are you kidding?  I've liked you since the moment we met.  Honestly I never realized it until you brought Ginny into the group.  I got jealous I thought it was because I wanted to be your best friend, but I realized it was that I didn't want her to become your girlfriend". 

Max smiled and pecked the girl on the lips, which happened to be right when Abby's mom walked in. 

"Hmm what's going on here girls".  Abby sat up.  "Emmmmmm, surprise I'm gay?".   Her mom broke into a fit of laughter, making the girl very confused.  "Oh honey I knew, I was just waiting for you to know".

Both girls stood there dumbly.  "Wait h- how, huh?!?".  The mom walked closer to the girls.

"No girl who is straight looks at her female friend the way you looked at Max.  Not to mention your little obsession with Scarjo".  Max started to die with laughter.  "Oh my god that's why you got protective, and you kept calling Scarlett hot all the time".  Abby blushed and lightly slapped the other girl's arm.

Then her mother gasped when she realized Abby'a legs.  Before she could say anything Max noticed then said "she told me about everything, and I want you to know I'm supportive of your daughter".  "Thank you sweetheart.  Oh honey I thought you said it was getting better, are you okay?".

Abby looked at Max, "I am now".  The girl wrapped her arms around her waist and gave her a hug.  "I'll give you two some privacy", and with that she got up and left, closing the door.

"So em, what are we?", Abby asked.  "Well I was hoping you'd be my girlfriend maybe?".  The girl's face lit up and jumped at Max , suffocating her with a hug.  "Oh that's a yes by the way".  They both giggled, "well that's good". 

And with that they ended up falling asleep on the floor with out a care in the world.
