Double The Lust (girlxgirlxgirl)

Chapter 41

Season 1 Episode 41

Lidia POV

Mr. Powell motioned me over the instant I got into the classroom. I crept quietly approaching his desk, which had a little to medium-sized spherical fruit with a short stem, McIntosh apple on it. It has a thick, sensitive red and green skin.

"Yes sir."

"You missed one week's worth of labs. What had occurred?—"

I was aborting a child who might have been either Brad or Ander.

"I'm OK. I had fever."

"How will you come about the lab. You really should have phoned in sick."

"I guess I'll have to borrow Nora's lab book."

"That's a workable solution, but you've missed out on the experience. If you had phoned in, you might have viewed it on a video call." He proposed.

I refrained from rolling my eyes. I doubt I'd want to watch silly lab class if I were puking, weeping, bleeding, and worried I'd die.

"I'll do just that, sir," I said with a phony grin.

He locked his gaze on me, hard and long, perhaps feeling my snarky response.

"Please take a seat; class is about to begin." He murmured.

*********

"Does she knows? Did you inform her?" Nora inquired. We were on our way to the library, so I could copy the labs into my book. I honestly felt weary and wanted to do nothing but sleep; I think the abortion was still having an effect on me, but it wasn't as bad as it might have been.

"What's the point?" Sitting down, I said. "Brad is far too volatile. I'm not sure how she'd take it. It's not like Ander, who had agreed with what I did. Brad would either be enraged and attempt to murder me, or enraged and attempt to murder me.

"Don't you think she deserves to know you off her child?" Nora unzipped her backpack and took out her massive lab book. Mine had already been placed on the table.

"I honestly don't care," I rolled my eyes, "The only reason I care is because it could've been Anders' baby—" The instant I genuinely admitted that, I covered my lips with my finger. Nora's pupils dilated.

"Oh my god." I cursed, my hand covering my lips. "Did I just say it aloud?"

"You did, and it's best you simply kept spilling it."

"You were sleeping with both sisters at the same time and didn't know which one was whose. So, I'm guessing you aborted Anders' child?"

I remained mute. I didn't have to go into detail. She has everything figured out. "Wow!" She said in a shocked tone.

"Does Brad know you two were fucking?"

"No," I said, lying. "But Ander was aware. She was also aware of my decision to get an abortion. She's the one who brought me to the clinic."

"Are you, by chance, dating Ander?"

I shook my head as I started flipping through my lab book, each page including a diagram and comments from various labs I'd done. I slid my fingertips over the soft pages and started writing, drawing Nora lab book closer.

"None of the sisters are interested in me." I laughed and shook my head. "I don't believe I want to become involved with any of them." I denied, scrunching my brow to make my statements sound plausible.

"I'm sure Ander would want to date you. If she knows you had an abortion and yet stays with you, it might mean she likes you."

"I have my doubts." She simply helps because she pities me. Brad doesn't want me because I'm unattractive, obnoxious, and not submissive enough. I tried to be, but it only lasted a couple of days. Cleo is simply so much better..."

"Lidia."

"You should see how she looks at her, it's like a kiss from a fucking rose—"

"Lidia." Nora yelled once more. But I ignored her and went on rambling while writing. "Did I tell you how much Brad lied to me, stating she'd never date Cleo? Oh my goodness, I trusted her and the worst—"

"You're crying Lidia."

"What?" In a perplexed tone, I inquired. It wasn't until I noticed a water drop on my page, staining it and flowing through the paper that I knew. I reached up and gently touched my eyes. She was right—I was in tears. I was so engrossed in my rage that I didn't realize it.

"Are you okay?" she inquired.

I shook my head and wept, which left me stunned. "No, I'm not OK."

Nora approaches me and wraps her arms around my shoulders. My body shook as I burst into sobs again.

"Ander stated that she would have wanted the kid regardless of who it was. Perhaps I shouldn't have." I suppose I was just so upset at the time that all I could think about was getting rid of something for a lying, betraying shit-face that I liked.

"I'm a killer." Nora clasped her hands over my lips as I sobbed in the library. "You are not a killer, and don't allow anyone hear you say such a vile thing." She murmured something.

"We all committed mistakes, and we all pay the price. When it comes time to pay, you pay and go on."

"I believe I've already paid." I stated this as soon as I took her hands away. I believed I was going to die last week."

"I know it'll take some time to stop thinking about the abortion, but know that you wouldn't be the first or last girl to do so."

"I shouldn't look at it that way. I did it because I was angry." I guess reality has hit me like a heat wave... I was just so fucking mad, and I do foolish things when I'm upset, but this time it wasn't slamming my head in a wall or yanking out a piece of hair, it was killing an innocent child.
