Let Me Be (Lesbian Story)

Chapter 13

Camille's POV

We took it slowly when I decided Helen would give her another chance. I stayed at my apartment, but I promised her I would be home soon. It's been 5 months and a half since I left our home. Helen told me that she had changed our bed to make me comfortable. We also took our counseling to David. It helped us so much for our relationship. Jennifer was so happy about the big news that Helen and I would take another chance on our relationship. She even made a party for both of us, she was exaggerating, but it's way too funny to see her that way.

My parents, especially my dad, didn't take it well, but mom was happy about it. She supported us, especially Helen. I know it will take a lot of time to regain his trust, but I know Helen was determined to gain it again.

Nicole was so happy to see us together again. Then we're shocked by her sudden announcement that she wanted a little sister or brother. Every day she will text me about how it would be nice if she had a sibling, she's using guilt talk to me, and it was so cute the way she wants it. Helen and I discussed it and agreed it was time for us to have a baby. We decided I would be the first one to take it. When we told it to David, he happily offered himself as a donor. We gladly accepted it, he was handsome, so it was a win-win.

Now Helen and I are in our favorite restaurant with George and Beth.

Beth didn't speak when I told her the truth about Helen and me. I understand her for feeling doubtful about Helen.

"If you ever cheat again or hurt Cam, I won't hesitate to kill you, Helen. No one would notice you were gone. There is a word cremation. No traces will be found because your ashes will be thrown in the ocean." Beth said in a stern voice while looking straight into Helen's eyes.

George chokes on his food. Even I was shocked.

Helen smiled at her but didn't look away from her intense glare.

"I won't. A promise would be useless to you. I will show anyone how much I love her and how much stupid I am when I did that." Helen said with a proud face.

George smirked while drinking his water.

Beth scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Be thankful she stopped me before. But if there is a next time again, she can't stop me from killing you."

"Don't worry. I won't stop you," I said to Beth.

George and Helen give us a weird look when we laugh together and provide a high five to each other.

"And...I want you to tell me, George, help me a little." Helen start.

Beth and I looked at the two who were looking so guilty now. Beth squinted her eyes when she looked at her husband. "YOU DID!?"

"What kind of help?" I asked. I was curious about it.

George brushed his hair using his fingers. "I was the one who suggested to her to bring out the divorce papers."

"What?!" Beth and I burst out in unison, and other people at the table looked at us.

The two flinched from our voices.

"I don't have a plan to sign the divorce paper," Helen said and grabbed my hands. "I don't have a plan to leave you, but I was so nervous when I brought it to your apartment, and I...I saw you with David; I got so jealous but scared too. I thought you don't love me anymore." She sighed and looked down.

"I know something will trigger inside on you, Cam. That's why I suggested it to her. Don't be mad at her and blame me. I was just testing you to see if you want her to let you go. And see? It worked." George guiltily said.

Beth smacked his head. "Traitor."

I sighed but smiled at them. "It's okay. I'm not mad at all. And thank you, George. You made me realize how Helen meant everything to me."

"Oh, honey.." Helen kissed my hands.

George smiled. "We are friends. I'll help you no matter what."

"Yeah..best friend, to be exact." Beth agreed.

After an hour of talking and eating, we all both decided to watch a movie in the theatre. We let Beth decide what movie she wanted to watch. Just as expected, an action movie. This time, I felt like we were in high school, us four having fun just like before when all our love blooms started in high school.

I looked at Helen, who was so focused on the movie. The place is so dark, and all you can hear is in the movie. Our hands won't let go of each other. I leaned my face to her and kissed her cheeks.

She sweepingly smiled and looked at me. "What?"

"Tonight...don't make me sleep," I whispered to her.

She let out a shaky sigh and gripped her hands on me. Her eyes sparkled in lust.

Being in love with the person who broke you is hard. You can't easily forgive them, especially when they pleaded for forgiveness from us and showed how sorry they were.

But some will take it for granted and give you a reason to give up on them. Forgiveness is way easier to give, but to forget is the hardest thing to do for us people. It will be our number one enemy if you are damaged and hurt. We were just humans. No matter what we do, it's in our nature to feel that different feeling.

When I forgive Helen, I also forgive myself for trying to hurt myself more if I let my anger and let the hate win. I can't forget her affair, but it did something to our relationship. It made us realize that we love each other and can't let go of this called love. Fixing is a part of any relationship. And we are slowly getting there.

...Fin...
