The Many Faces Of Elizabeth Jones

You will always be Beth to me

We ran off the stage to screams and cheers but as soon as I left I only had eyes for Laura. I rounded a corner and ran headfirst into a warm, tender embrace as my bandmates snickered and left whispering to each other.
'Oh Beth you were so amazing out there tonight' she exclaimed letting go of me to hold my hand and walk slowly outside into a small garden to the side of the venue.
'So like always then?'
'Oh shut up darling' Laura laughed, gently pushing my side.

We continued wandering until we found a small bench surrounded by rose bushes and trees, the metal of the seat glistening softly in the faint moonlight and dim light casting fractured shadows into the overgrown grass at our feet.
Laura's face broke into a large smile as she sat down, marvelling at the beautiful scenery around us as I joined her on the tiny seat.
I rested my head on her shoulder, exposed by the a line floral dress she wore, and we stayed there peacefully for what fell like a blissful eternity.
I started humming some random lyrics trying to come up with a new song in the environment here; just so happy to be away from the pressures of school, recording studios and record labels.

"And time stops when I look into your eyes
Eyes like hourglasses and the universe in misty grey spheres
Take me forward to where everything was fine"

Finally, she tilted her head to look up at me singing softly, clasped her hands together and sighed
'Its so cute here, Beth I could stay here forever.'
I leant forward slightly so I could look into my girlfriend's perfect grey eyes before quietly saying
'Your wish is my command darling.'
We finished the short distance and my senses erupted in an explosion of musical notes and rose petals.

I woke up in my queen-sized bed with one arm cuddling Laura and I smiled at the memories that action brought back from last night in the rose garden.
She stirred and grumpily muttered a sleepy 'morning' before I laughed and got up to get what transformed this monster into the Laura I knew and loved - coffee.
I trudged downstairs and on the way back up with one steaming mug of dark liquid I encountered my extremely annoying twin brother Sam who when noticing the coffee, (I never touched the stuff - eugh) just raised his eyebrows suggestively and patted me on the shoulder before continuing on his way to the kitchen grinning like a cheshire cat.
Surprisingly, when Laura and I came out as a couple last year both of our families had been 100% supportive despite my worries but the only thing that happened was that our parents were no way less generous with sleepovers. Ha.

I reached my room again and notice Laura sitting up on her phone checking social media, or 'the modern newspaper' as she called it.
Placing the coffee on the side table she thanked me then I went to check my phone lying down next to Laura to see the reaction to last night.
(5) new messages
Oh crap.
I went through ones from various friends in my friendship group at school or the 'popular group' as we were known as. I was the head of the group and Laura was my second in command. Then there was David, the most popular guy in the school and as in every high school we were put together as the power couple all the time but no-one knew I was dating Laura so we played along. Finally there was Laura's close friend Abby and the rest of Rogue Bandit who made up the inner circle of the group. Unfortunately as I couldn't tell David the truth without everyone knowing I has to deal with the flirting.
Laura and I had no plans to be out at school, not because of bullying that you might expect (the joy of being queen of high school) but the fact that if we did I fear we would only be known as the lesbian couple and our personalities would be forgotten.
