First Forever (GirlxGirl)

Meeting

⚠️T.W. CRAZY ASS BITCH! ⚠️

Eva's POV

I reassured Anna of a situation I wasn't sure of myself. What if she was right and Lauren wanted me for herself? What would be my reaction to such information? What if she made a move to kiss me? What if she didn't deal well with rejection and she tried to murder - *honk*!

The sound of a car horn from an impatient driver behind me, jolted me out of my crazy thoughts. I let the windows down and allowed the evening air to massage my face in all its unseen glory, in hopes of blowing away my thoughts and clearing my mind.

The GPS announced that I arrived at my destination, which was the parking lot of an abandoned housing development. I hesitated but eventually got out when I saw my friend sitting on the trunk of a black Nissan Altima not too far away.

Flyers and old newspaper decorated the ground of the car park. The unfinished buildings bore signs of life as fresh clothing hung from the frames where windows were supposed to be.

"Hey." she greeted me.

"Hey." I answered.

"Are you alone?" she asked. I narrowed my eyes on hers then down to her twiddling fingers. She was nervous.

"Yeah, why?" I asked.

"I don't want 'you know who' jumping out of nowhere and beating the shit out of me" she said and chuckled.

"And why would she do that?" I asked.

"Cause she did it already. Were you so caught up in lust that you forgot." she spat. If it's one thing for sure and two things for certain, I'm going to defend my baby.

"First off what you're not going to do is talk about Anna, our relationship, or devalue our connection in any way. If that's what you called me for, then bye." I said and turned around to leave.

"Okay! Okay! I'm sorry." she said quickly. I smiled to myself, turned back around and joined her on the trunk of the car.

"Great, so what's up?" I asked. She sucked in her breath and her hands began to tremble subtly but I noticed.

"Well first, sorry for my outbursts last night." she apologized.

"Why?" I asked. She lowered her eyebrows and looked at me.

"Why what?" she asked.

"Why did you do it?" I asked.

"Some things are uncontrollable, you know? I usually never act out on how I feel but something.......just something." she murmured as her eyes left my direction focused on the setting sun ahead.

"Okay, I accept your apology." I said.

"Good, thank you. So how are you?" she asked as her mood changed to a lighter one.

"Great great." I answered. The elephant in the room was an adult male that had been properly well fed in an Indian palace somewhere in Asia. It was HUGE!

We both noticed the elephant and opened our mouths to speak simultaneously. We chuckled at the coincidence then I told her to go first.

"Listen I didnt call you here to ask about your day. The thing is, and I know you said not to mention her but I must. Why are you still with Anna?" she asked. I felt the need to be impulsive bubble in my stomach, ready to make it's way up my body and exit through my mouth but I folded my lips tightly and swallowed before I answered.

"Girl, I love her." I simply said.

"Hmm. My first day of school, she pulled you in her jeep and spoke to you really loudly. Is that love?" she asked.

"Nobody is perfect Lauren and what you think you saw or heard was nothing. Anna is now learning to be with someone, she's now learning to accept love, she's now learning to speak about her emotions and she's doing very well." I explained proudly.

"But why waste your time to teach her?" she asked.

"Girl, I love her." I simply answered, again this time through gritted teeth. Holding your tongue should be an Olympic sport.

"I just can't wrap my head around it. It just seems like plenty work." she said.

"Maybe you shouldn't let our relationship live rent free in your head. I'm sure you have so much better things to do. People literally fall at your feet filled with lust, has no one caught your eye?" I asked. In an attempt to change the subject because the impulsiveness bubbled like an active volcano in a humid country.

"God has a funny way of shoving all the people you don't want down you throat and letting the people you want, be completely oblivious to your existence. Even though you're doing everything to get them to notice you in that way. It's a sick joke." she chuckled.

"I know that all too well. My advice is just say fuck it and tell that person how you feel." I advised.

"Really?" she questioned.

"Yeah, I mean who wouldn't want you. You're beautiful." I encouraged. A big smile crept across her lips as she jumped off the car. I laughed in amusement as she dusted her body quickly as if she were preparing to call her crush.

"How do I look?" she asked.

"Flawless as usual girl." I complimented.

"Good! So here goes nothing." she said. I began to walk away to give her privacy as she made her call. Suddenly, I felt a hand on my wrist and a tug as my body turned into Lauren's body.

"Hey what the fuck?!?" I shouted as I tried to unravel myself from her slimey paws.

"Eva, I love you. I've been in love with you and I need you to leave Anna. She doesn't see you like I do. She doesn't appreciate you like I do. She's just a spoiled, rich, pretty, bratty bitch with fake issues. You and I on the other hand, we understand each other. We've actually bonded over so many traumatic issues and that is what makes us, us. I know you may not feel this way right now but give it some thought." she expressed.

In 'I told you so' moments, what does one do? I stood frozen with shock. How could I have been so blind to this? I was so focused on Anna that I was blinded to every and any other hint of admiration from anyone else. How did Anna notice? What the fuck?

Lips pressed against mine shook me to my senses and I immediately pulled away. She grabbed onto my arms and pulled me into her and attacked my neck with her disgusting lips.

"LAUREN GET OFF OF ME!!" I screamed and pushed her off. Her eyes opened wide and bore the look of genuine shock and confusion. Then in the blink of an eye her mood changed and she looked, dare I describe it as, sinister.

"You're gonna stand there and tell me you don't feel it? You don't feel the chemistry? The burning desire for us to be together? For our two souls to become one?" she smirked as she drew closer. Every step she took forward, I made two bigger ones back.

Since the incident at the party, Anna made me carry pepper spray. It was in the left back pocket of my jeans. My hands shook as I reached for it but I felt nothing.

"Lauren, what the fuck is wrong with you? Do you know how stupid you look right now? We. Are. Just. Friends. Actually no, let me rephrase, we WERE just friends. Psycho bitch!" I shouted at her.

She stopped abruptly, completely stunned by my words which gave me ample time to run to my car. I got in safely only to notice her still stuck in her tracks. Her eyes narrowed on my car as I sped past her and out the parking lot.

Only when I got on the highway I noticed my hands shook uncontrollably and my heart pounded violently against my chest. I was breathing hard and fast then my vision began to blur. I held on tighter to the steering wheel but the more energy I expended on holding the steering wheel, the blurier my vision got.

"Call Anna." was what I managed to utter before my eyelids slowly covered my eyes.
