Forevermore - Lovertation

You Just Don't Understand

Song: Exile

Speak Now
My orgasm ripped through me in waves as I cried out in pleasure, my hands gripping Beautiful Eyes' biceps.

"That's it baby" she cooed, lovingly kissing my neck and jawline.

I panted loudly and squeezed my eyes shut, a small smile plastered on my lips.

"Fuck... I've never felt that good in my life" I whispered and opened my eyes to gaze at my girlfriend. A shocked look appeared on her face.

"Did I just take your virginity?" She said, panic evident in her expression.

I laughed and propped myself up on my elbows. "No, but that's the best sex I've ever experienced".

"Thank goodness, you wouldn't want to be deflowered by a fugitive".

I cocked my head. "Don't call yourself that".

Beautiful Eyes scoffed quietly and fiddled with her fingers. "I am one though, that's what I am now".

I sat up fully and crossed my legs. "You're more than that though-"

She cut me off quietly. "Do you know why I listened to my mum and attempted to murder Reputation?"

I shook my head.

"Because she- she told me that a criminal was all I am, all I will be. Being a cold-blooded murderer was in my blood, so I should embrace it".

I scowled and pulled my girlfriend into my arms. "She's a damn psycho".

"Once, she brought home a stray kitten and killed it... right in front of me. Then she topped it off by gaslighting me into thinking I liked seeing things die".

"I'm so sorry, B" I stroked her soft curls soothingly.

"It's fine. My life is too fucked up to cry about anymore. I'm surprised Evermore or Reputation haven't turned me in yet".

"They won't, Rep doesn't like drama outside of the household and Evermore... I can't say much for her, her mind works in curious ways" I chuckle.

"It was nice of her to let me spend some time in your room, that basement is kinda drab".

"And, it doesn't have a big enough bed for the both of us".

Folklore
My mind had been driving me insane these past few days. Evermore's words had clung to me like a barnacle. I had to tell someone, I had to do something about it. But who? And how? What would I even say?

I slid the squeaky back door open and stepped outside. Night was just falling, and a tangerine sunset was blanketing the skyline over the hills. I pulled on a pair of brown boots and stepped onto the dewy grass, inhaling and exhaling deeply. A small breath of wind brushed against my face and ruffled my hair. I huffed and put one foot forward, then the next. My legs repeated this cycle until I was deep into the forest. The house was only just in view and the canopy overhead blocked out any remaining sunlight. The mossy ground made little noise as I walked, allowing me peace and quiet.

A chaffinch tweeted above me somewhere, before I saw small wings flapping deeper into the forest, and away from me. I kicked a rock, before cursing out loud when it didn't move and sent a painful pulse through my toe instead. My feet carried me further away, our house quickly leaving my line of view. Most people would freak out if they were deep into the woods with only the glow of the moon for visibility. I had grown to love it, the forest calls for overthinkers, girls with thoughts bottled in their minds.

I stopped walking and closed my eyes. I opened my ears, not physically, but I focused on what I could hear and worked to identify what it was.

Creek, common bluetail, hare, doe, I could have gone on.

A quiet snap lured me out of my focus and I opened my eyes. Just as they adjusted to the dark, a red fox ambled across my path. It stopped momentarily and its nose twitched. I stayed completely still, watching as it turned to look at me with bright amber eyes before trotting back into the foliage. Sometimes I wished I was a part of the wilderness, then I wouldn't have to worry about sisters and possible crushes.

My calm was interrupted by my phone ringing. I should've left it at home.

I pulled it out of my large coat pocket and saw Evermore's name flashing on the screen. I scowled to myself and answered.

"Could it not have waited, sister? You're going to scare the fox" I snapped quietly, leaning back to rest on a thick pine tree trunk.

"Where the hell are you, Folklore? Life 360 is saying you're like a kilometre into the forest!"

"Probably because I am".

"Don't give me that, you've been gone for two hours!" she replied, exasperation layering her tone.

"Okay? And? I'm an adult, I can go for walks if I wish to". I booted another rock. This time, it flew into a bush.

"I'm worried! It's scary when I get the notification that you've left the house and I see your location is nearly an hour away".

"I don't even understand why you made me download that annoying app".

"Oh my- Folklore, this is exactly why. Do you not get how scary it is for someone to be missing from our house without an explanation? After everything that's happened! Especially when it's my sister".

Her words were true, and I did get it, but I was stubborn and frustrated. "I know what I'm doing, Ev. I can handle myself" I grumbled.

"If I don't see your little profile picture heading back to this house in two minutes, I'm coming out there to drag you home myself".

"God, Evermore. You're such a pain!" I snap angrily, allowing my legs to start heading back home. I did drag my feet, though.

"I don't care!" she replied, before pausing and taking a deep breath. "You know I'm only like this because I care very deeply about you, Lorie".

"If you cared about me that much, you'd know that I'm fine on my own".

I heard Evermore sigh. "That's not how that works".

"I'm going to hang up now" I murmur.

"Please get home safely and be quick. And come find me when you get home".

I roll my eyes into the darkness. "Yeah, whatever".

"Please lose the attitude, no one likes a mad woman".

"Goodbye, Evermore".

"Use your phone tor-".

I hung up with a huff and crammed my phone back into my pocket. She'd never understand how it was for me, try as she might. I've never been understood, why would that change now?

AN: I'm going to start wrapping up this fic, it's getting a bit too long 😭
