Vanessa
I was tired, so I was grateful to Madelaine for having fun at the party without me. I was present but not in a position or mood to dance. I sat next to Zoé on the sofa and watched Mads dance with Cami. I knew that Mads would rather stand there with me and I was all the more grateful that she accepted that I wasn't in the mood for anything.
Zoé, next to me, stirred and I looked at her questioningly. "Are you okay Vanessa?" She asked worried. I looked at the young girl. She played the sneaky Evelin Evernever in Riverdale but in reality she was just incredibly cute and I couldn't lie to her "No not really Zoé . I think a lot." Zoé's eyes twinkled in understanding as she stood up and held out a hand, "I see, I won't have the audacity to ask you what you're banging your pretty head about, but I know a way to distract you." Hesitantly, I took it her hand and was then pulled by the actress onto the dance floor alongside Cami and Mads. Madelaine looked at Zoé gratefully and then, with Zoé's help, I moved to the beat of the music and I felt some of the tension fall from my shoulders. I felt silly, but at least I felt a little better.I laughed when the song "Bullet" by Ann Mar suddenly came on.It was the song of Cheryl and Toni's first kiss and therefore also of Mads and my first Kisses. Anyone could imagine how much that meant to us. Zoé turned me around and gave me a light and loving nudge towards Madelaine.

Madelaine
Cami turned me in the direction of Vanessa.
It didn't bother me that she danced so playfully with Zoé, I was happy that Zoé was able to persuade her.
But when Cami turned me, I saw Vanessa stagger towards me. I smiled and shook my head and spread my arms to receive her. Cami was with the D.J a few minutes ago and most likely had provided Bullet.
Cami and I had been talking the whole time on the dance floor. She said that Lil must have told her that she always hoped that Vanessa and I would fall in love and she had even more hopes when she saw the picture of us.
As I put my arms around Vanessa's body, I automatically blocked out the others present and focused on Vanessa. Her brown eyes sparkled and as we began to move to the beat of the music I felt like our bodies were merging. It felt like Vanessa and I were in our own world. The brunette had laid her beautiful shock of brown hair on my shoulder. We slowly moved to our song and I felt more comfortable than ever.
At that moment it didn't bother me that I still had to come out to my family and I wasn't afraid of it for a moment either.
During the last "How can I keep myself away when I'm fall in love" Vanessa lifted her head from my shoulder and looked deep into my eyes. An unbelievable nervousness spread through my body that I had never felt before. "What's going on?" I asked my girlfriend. She smiled at me, stretched, and pressed her soft lips to my mouth. We've kissed many times before, but that kiss... That kiss was a promise of sorts Promise that everything will be fine.

Vanessa
I listened to the sound of running water. Madelaine and I fell straight into bed after the party and slept through the night until 10 am. When we got up Madelaine had decided to take a shower.
We had left the party around 2:00 am and it was only now that I was able to think clearly. I had my next session with Doctor Smith in a good 2 hours and without Madelaine. The thought of it made me nervous so I started picking at my cuticles.
"Where are you with your thoughts, my love ?" came Mad's loving voice. My eyes shot straight down her body. She was wearing a red Oversize T-shirt and her red hair was wrapped in a white towel . "Doctor Smith." I answered her honestly. Mad's eyes got a worried gleam and she flopped down next to me, 'I see because you're alone with her today?'
,, Yep. "
Mads took my hand in hers and stroked my knuckles. "Everything will be fine okay? I promise babe."
I believed her.

A few hours later I was sitting in Doctor Smith's consulting room. "So tell me Vanessa, when did this self-loathing start?"
Excellent question, I knew exactly when. ,,I do not know exactly . I think 2 years ago." Terribly lied Morgan! Doctor Smith made a note of something and then leaned forward, "Have you tried to take your own life?"

Madelaine
I watched as Doctor Smith grabbed my girlfriend from the door. When the door slammed, I started the engine and drove to a certain cet. The Cet, by Zoé.
Once there, I checked my appearance and took another deep breath. I didn't look like a celebrity, I looked like a normal American, so without paparazzi I would have made it maybe 10 meters to the building. (which I really did).

With my heart pounding I entered the producer's office where a blonde secretary caught me. ,,Good Morning. " I said .
"Ms. Petsch?" Her voice was cold and dry and her blue eyes expressionless. "Yes." I just answered so bluntly. Please, friendliness was probably not capitalized here. "Mr. Tino is waiting for you."
I entered the room and faced a man in his forties. His hair was black and shoulder length and he had bright green eyes. "Nice to see you, Ms. Petsch." He got up and motioned for me to sit down, which I deliberately didn't do. Mr. Tino raised an eyebrow, but said nothing. "It's an honor for me to speak to you , but will I also know the reason?" I smiled . ,,Unfortunately I can't do that edern Mr. Tino. I'm not with you for good reasons. " The producer raised an eyebrow, ''How can I understand that?' "I wanted to ask you what exactly the point is with you. What's the point behind Zoé?" Mr. Tino answered directly, "Tolerance."
"Bingo." I crossed my arms behind my back and began to fix my eyes on Mr. Tino, "But then my question is how you can be such an intolerant asshole " Mr. Tino opened his mouth but I wasn't done yet, ''You know my best friend, Vanessa Morgen? Well I know the answer, after all you canceled her role." I deliberately didn't say that Vanessa was MY GIRLFRIEND. To protect Vanessa..
Mr. Tino smiled, "It's not always an actress..." I slammed my hand on the table and glared at him, "Shut up! I'm not done yet! I realize you don't always get the part but this reason .. I'll make you tremble now "We refrain from working with a lesbian. "Please, who shit in your brain." Mr. Tino's eyes narrowed and he stood up menacingly. "Leave my office immediately!" "Oh I'll go, but believe me I'll make sure you get fired! You should do your job with tolerance and not with any prejudice!" I said softly. "OUT!" he snapped. And I had made it. I had pissed him off, so I was shown how little nerve and tolerance he had. I had found his weak spot. I slowly walked to the door and whispered, "We're not there yet ready, if you mess with my girl, then you automatically have me as an enemy, remember that!"
I said louder, "Thank you for the nice chat. Bye for now."

No, I hadn't threatened Mr. Tino, I would never bring myself to do something like that. I had only promised myself and Vanessa to protect you, no matter what the cost.
I was just standing again, leaning against my car, in front of Doctor Smith's practice and waiting for Vanessa to leave the practice. And when the door opened and the brunette came out, I smiled from ear to ear. This woman was just everything I needed and I was grateful to her that she could help.
I love her !
