Behind Her Hair

Ashley

 "Hey Dad. It's been a while since we talked, but I need your help." I said through my phone.

He said, "Sure thing, kid. What did Lisa do now?"

"First, I have to confess something. I'm lesbian. I'm calling from my girlfriend's house. That's actually why I need help. Mom kicked me out after I came out." I said. I felt a tear stream down my face. Emma hugged me.

He's quiet for a few seconds, "Ok, good for you, I'm so sorry, and you have a girlfriend? That's new! What happened to Jake? Tell me later. I'm out of town, and my flight isn't until tomorrow night. Do you have somewhere you can stay for now?" He asked. Yes! I could stay here for a night. With Emma.

Josh asked to talk to him, so I gave him the phone. Emma told me he was actually studying to be a social worker.

Emma and I were just in the kitchen, sitting in silence. I took out my phone, and saw a ton of group messages asking about us.

"Omg? Is Ashley dating Emma?"

"That's what Jake said. He also said he tried to fix her but couldn't"

"What an asshole"

"But did you know that Ashley was a les?"

"Omg! No! Never woulda guessed!"

"What about Emma? I always had a feeling"

"Yeah. shes the emo gay."

"LOLLLLLL"

I guess I'm not hiding the fact that I'm a little sad about this. I mean, these people were once my closest friends.

I'm still staring at my phone when Emma hugs me from behind.

"Don't let them get to you." She whispered, her arms still around me.

I close my eyes, "They won't. I don't need them anymore." I opened her eyes and looked at her. "I have you." I could see her face heat up, but she was smiling.

She kissed me on the cheek and went to her room to grab her phone. She typed something out, but told me not to worry about it. Suddenly I was flooded with notifications. Emma was kicking their asses!

Josh came back then. He said that I was officially in Dad's custody now. Everything was coming back together. But then Emma asked about Tiffany.

Josh sighed, "I broke up with her. If she wasn't going to accept you guys, she wasn't going to be here. It's fine. I didn't really love her."

"Oh I'm sorry anyway." I said. I owe him that much.

He smiled, "Don't be. She was such a diva. Also, you have definitely made it up to me. Emma probably told you, but I'm studying to be a social worker, and this is going to look great on my record! Sorry if that was insensitive." He said.

Emma went in front of me and told Josh we were going to go to bed. She gave him that one "say yes on the penalty of death" look.

He laughed, "Sure. Emma, let Ashley borrow some pajamas. And keep it PG, I live here too." I turned red, while Emma smirked.

"Didn't I tell you and your exes that?" She said. BURN!

Josh turned red and quickly left the room. And with that, we did too.

When we were in Emma's room, I sighed, "Again, I am so sorry about Jake. I tried to get him away, but he wouldn't leave. I'm filing a complaint on Monday." I said, "And might you have a sleeping bag or something?"

She laughed at that, "No! You're coming up in the bed." She smiled. I guess so. It looks comfy. And Emma looks cute.

I hopped up on the bed, and Emma took me in her arms. It was very easy to be comfortable. Something I've never felt with Jake.

"I've been dreaming about this for years, and it's finally true." Emma murmured. I smiled.

"I'm sorry it took me so long to realize how awesome you are. I guess I just felt . . . Trapped, somehow. Like I couldn't escape my old life." I said.

Emma took my hand under the covers, "It's ok. Lets go to bed."

It took all of 5 minutes to fall asleep with Emma holding me.

"Love you." She whispered.

"Love you too." I said.
