Rivals on Stage, Lovers Off-Beat

Black Heart

*Trinity deleted a message*

Odd.

Luz yawned as she looked at her phone screen. She was going to meet Trinity in about half an hour. She found it very odd that the woman had deleted a message. Even though she was curious, she shut her phone off and went to the bathroom to get ready. She didn't need to do much, it was just a quick meeting.

But she found it weird how Trinity all of the sudden wanted to meet up. Why would she want to talk to her now? They haven't had contact since....

"Luz, wait."

Luz stopped in her tracks and let go of the door handle as she turned. Amity stood in front of her, rubbing her eyes. Before Luz knew it, the blight hugged her.
"Drive safe please." Amity mumbled as she buried herself in the crook of Luz's neck.
"I will." Luz assured her and was about to give Amity a kiss on top of her head, but Amity let go of their hug and smiled.

"I hope you have a good time with Trinity. Look, about what I said earlier..she's not that bad. Yeah, She has messed up and done some quite shitty stuff, but that doesn't mean she will do it to you." Amity said, as she took off Luz's jacket.

"I honestly don't know Trinity that well, we aren't that open, and to me she's just a band member. But yeah. Have fun" the green haired smiled, and handed her the jacket.

"Thanks." Luz sighed, giving her a soft smile, pushing on her jacket and walked out of the door.

————————————————————

Luz walked into the coffee shop where she would be meeting Trinity. Luz was actually a bit unsure about this. Luz knew Trinity more than Amity did.

"Hey Luz. Been awhile since we have met."
"Yeah." She nodded as she sat down on the other side of the coffee table. She sighed as she opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. She tried again and then she said:

"We haven't met since we drifted apart."

"Oh, stop being so cold Luz. It hurts me that you're so cold."

A slap of guilt.

"I miss the times we had together."

Another slap of guilt.

Trinity placed her hand on Luz's. Luz felt her soft hand on hers, how her soft fingers brushed over her hand, her palm. Now their hands were intertwined again. Luz felt...happy. Real happy. More happy than she has felt in so long.

How could she forget how happy Trinity made her?

"Look, it was just a big misunderstanding back then at the party. You know, that other guy..."

Jealousy. Pain. Guilt.

"I would never cheat on you. And the fact that we just have drifted apart, it hurts me to see this..."

Trinity showed Luz her phone screen. Luz's eyes widened, as she saw the picture of her and Amity kissing on the other side of the other woman's favourite ice cream shop.

No, no, no, no, no.

"Trinity I-"

"You broke the rules Luz. You broke my heart! Do you even care about me? We didn't even break up, and then you'd be going around sacrificing your dream, FOR THAT GIRL!?" The blond yelled, getting attention at the coffee shop.

Luz shrunk in her seat, she felt so small, so guilty.

"I did all of this for you, me and you got a chance to start our own bands. All because of me, you got your dream. So why the hell would you sacrifice that dream, for her. And not me. You hurt me Luz."
