Andy and Lorena both were still standing in the doorway considering how loud the splat was it caught the attention of Diana and the one who was in bed with her. Lorean lets out a loud sigh and steps back, she wordlessly walks towards the couch and takes a seat. She puts her head in between her legs and rubs her hands over her face. "How could you do this to us?" Andy's voice cracked as she watched Diana get out of the bed quickly.
"I wasn't thinking, I just really missed him, and the next thing I know. He showed up at the gala." Diana gulps rubbing her hands together looking between Andy and Lorena quickly. Lorena lifts her head up and looks towards the guy who was walking out of their room embarrassed, that's when it hits Lorena.
This is Diana's first love, but he was supposed to be dead right? "How aren't you dead?" Lorena can't help but slightly cringe at the way her voice cracks from emotion. "Uh, I actually don't know." Steve looks at Diana who bites her lip and sits down in the chair across from Lorena.
Diana sighs before grabbing her hair and moving it all to one side. "At work, they got this stone and we thought it wasn't worth anything but it seems to grant wishes because I touched at the moment I was thinking about Steve and here he is. Sleeping with him was an accident, I didn't mean to. I was just-" Andy huffs loudly sitting down next to Lorena who raised her arm and put it on Andy's back. "But you did, Diana you cheated on us. With a dead guy, he's an illusion. Just because you've made him real for the time being doesn't mean he will be here forever. You broke our hearts for someone who might not be here tomorrow." Andy shakes her head in disbelief.
Steve rubs his hands together and coughs to get their attention. "I think I should go, it's clear that you three have a lot to talk about. I just want you two to know I had no idea." Steve presses his lips together and gives them a nod before walking towards the door. "No I-" Diana starts to protest but she stops herself and glances out of the corner of her eye to Lorena and Andy.
Diana looks at Steve sadly as he's leaving before they hear the door click shut. The three of them were frozen, none of them knew what to do they've never experienced anything like this before they were broken. Quickly like a dam breaking the silence was filled with Lorena sobbing, she was curling in onto herself and holding on to Andy like a lifeline.
Andy looked up from the broken blonde who was crying into her legs and glared daggers at Diana over Lorena's head, it looked like Diana wanted to cry herself which Andy can't deny, she deserves it. "You broke her, you broke us," Andy says to Diana knowing that Lorena was too out of it to hear her.
Diana's lip wobbled, she puts her hand over her mouth and looked down not being able to meet Andy's eyes any longer. Shame, Andy thinks. Diana was ashamed of her choice, and she should be because nothing will be the same again. Slowly Lorena sat up and rubbed her eyes quickly, she muttered thanks when Andy handed her a tissue to wipe her tears.
"I won't pretend to understand what you're going through but Diana, you made a huge mistake. Maybe I was being dumb but I thought the three of us were forever, when we met you it was like we were hole. You fit with us perfectly, now you took the piece out and broke it. I think it's best if you find somewhere else to stay, at least for a little bit. Until we can work this out, all three of us. We need to heal." Diana opened her mouth to say something but she cast her eyes downward and nodded quickly walking towards the room past the ice cream. "I'll clean it up," Andy muttered getting up quickly and grabbing a paper towel, Lorena nodded numbly.
It felt like she couldn't breathe and every time she did it hurt, Lorena wants to give Diana a second chance because, to be honest, Lorena wouldn't know what she would do if a dead lover came back but the other side of Lorena is angry. Angry at the world for letting this happen but also angry at Diana for doing this. "Um, I'm sorry again," Diana says in the middle of their doorway of the bedroom she just walked out of.
Lorena and Andy stared at each other before nodding at Diana, Diana pressed her lips together and walked the door. They knew that she looked behind her to look at them but they didn't look at her, they didn't want her to see the pain in their eyes. Lorena sighs before standing and starts to help Andy clean up the ice cream. "I almost think it was worse," Andy says after a moment of silence.
Knowing that Lorena is going to see Andy break soon she talks to her gently. "What do you mean you think it was worse?" Lorena asks grabbing the dirty towels and carrying them to the trash. "That she didn't fight, she just let it happen. She didn't fight to stay, she just said it was a mistake but if the dead guy has a house then she's staying there and we're gonna lose her." Andy's voice cracked at the end.
Lorena's heart broke, she didn't know it could anymore but Andy made it happen. "Andy, honey. If she wants to be with him then her lose, you said yourself he's dead. He's only here because of the stupid gem, it didn't sound like Diana knew enough about the gem. It might fade, we don't know but Andy we need to focus on ourselves. If Diana is truly sorry, she'll fight for us. I know she will." Lorena grabs the paper towels that Andy was scrubbing on the floor with and drops them on the ground so she can grab Andy in a hug.
They both fall on the floor but neither of them cares because like the first time instead of Lorena crying, it was Andy sobbing into Lorena's clothes.
