"why are your bags packed?" Liz's voice filled my ears. I lifted my head seeing her standing at the doorway. "Laur can you give us a minute?" she turned her attention to Lauren.
"do you want me to leave?" Lauren asked me softly.
"its fine, I am fine" I forced a smile.
"Okay I will wait downstairs if you still want to go I will take you" Lauren got up disappearing out of the room leaving just the two of us. Liz closed the door before walking over to me
"Why are you leaving?" Liz asked acting like she didn't know why. Or maybe she really is just that clueless that she doesn't think she did anything wrong.
"Because why would I stay?" I narrowed my eyes at her as she closed the doors. "Why are we even together?" I asked not even sure why I am still here.
"I am sorry about what jess said it was just a joke" she rubbed the back of her neck. "She didn't mean it" yeah okay. "she didn't, she just wanted to get under Lauren's skin" she said like that makes it okay.
"I couldn't give a shit if she meant it or not. what I care about is she called your sister a freak and you did nothing" not only did you do nothing you stayed there with her.
"why do care so much about Lauren? Do you like her?" oh my god here we go again. Why do I care? I don't know maybe because I am a decedent human being.
"She is a friend. And this isn't about that" I huffed crossing my arms.
"a friend like I am?" she narrowed her eyes. "I mean how am I supposed to feel you told me you weren't feeling well, and next thing I know I see you hanging out with my sister"
"I told you I didn't feel well because I didn't want to hang with your friends" right now I know no matter what I say nothing is going to get through to her. She is as stubborn as they come. "I don't want to be around people who don't accept me for me"
"I'm sorry" she frowned. "Please don't go I will make it up to you" her mood changed just like that like a hit of a switch. She walked over to me grabbing my waist. "Please don't leave. I promise I will come out I just need more time. I am sorry for getting mad it's just seeing you with Lauren scares me"
"Why? Do you think I would do something like that to you? do you think Lauren would? she knows about us" her eyes grew wide.
"You told her about us" she quickly let me go. She was now pacing the floor.
"no, she figured it out. Calm down she isn't going to tell anyone" Lauren doesn't seem like the kind of person to out someone.
"Oh yes she would" her fingers combed through her hair. "You don't know her" Maybe I don't but then again, I don't know you either so I think I will take my chances and trust Lauren.
"Why would she tell anyone? what would she get out of it?" what would she got out of outing her younger sister?
"because of what I have said about her when she came out and what I did to her. I was young and dumb." She sat down on the bed. "I don't want to lose you" she looked over at me with tears in her eyes.
"you're not going to lose me" I joined her on the bed wrapping my arm around her. she moved closer to me locking her eyes on me.
"Will you stay?" she closed her eyes leaning in to kiss me. I kissed her back.
I agreed to stay thinking things were going to change and they did for few days after that it was back to how it was. "hey I am going to hang out with some friends tonight do you want to come or you can just hang here" Liz took a sip of her drink giving me a smile.
