Richelle
"Hey, can we talk?" Piper asks me the next day when I come to the wings.
I was wondering where she went. The two of us, well...kind of spent the night together. But, she had left our room by the time I woke up this morning.
And I wake up really early!
"Sure, let me just..."
When I go to walk over to Noah, since I said I'd get him some water from the lobby, I find the two people I never expected, or wanted, coming over.
Emily and Michelle are hand in hand, nervous expressions on both of their faces. This is the closest I've been to either of them in over a year!
"What's going on?"
"I think it's time." Michelle replies.

(Flashback)
Piper
She feels so small and gentle lying here next to me. Her golden hair is sprawled around the pillow that we're lying on, looking as gorgeous as ever.
I trail a thumb across her cheek and let out a content sigh. To think that I'm finally with her.
Not a lot of people know this, aside from Amy, but I've liked Richelle for a long time. Most people call her catty, a bit bossy, and maybe even a bitch. But, that's what I like about her.
It took awhile for me to realise that I even like girls, too scared and impacted by the world around me. But, she's never been afraid to act and say what she thinks. I wish I had her confidence.
My throat feels a bit dry though. Should probably get a drink. I make sure to be quiet and slow as I leave the bed, as to not wake her up.
When I step into the hall though, I hear a pair of hushed voices around the corner.
Who is that?
To keep hidden, I stay behind the wall, but listen in. It's probably nothing, but finding two people being secretive at this hour of the morning seems shady.
"I can't believe you told him!" That's Michelle's voice.
"It just slipped out, okay?!" Emily.
"Yeah, just like how you slipped your tongue into Richelle's mouth?!"
"That's not fair. You know that she was the one that kissed me!"
They say a few more things after that. but I had stopped listening.
What?! Richelle kissed Emily?! When?!
Is she in love with her? This would explain why the two have become so distance lately. Is that why she's with me? Am I just some way for her to get over how she is feeling?!
No...please no!
Before I can tell my legs to stop, I've revealed myself. The tow older women look at me in shock and embarrassment. No more than me though.
At-least they don't feel used.
"I heard everything."
~~~
Richelle
"I know what happened between you and Emily."
As soon as the words escape her beautiful lips, I want this to stop.
She knows? How does she know?! Who told her?!
No...this can't be happening. These two can't come into this new relationship that I've gotten and ruin that too.
My gaze snaps towards them and I'd be ready to beat the shit out of either of them if my girlfriend wasn't here.
Instead, I take in a deep breath and brace myself for this.
It's been kept inside me for too long. And if Emily warns to talk about it, then maybe I should take the chance.
"Okay, yeah. I kissed Emily." Piper looks more saddened than mad when I confirm this.
"Why though? Why do it?" This is Emily now. She disconnects herself from Michelle and steps towards me.
Is she fucking serious?!
"Hm, I don't know, Em." She winces as I use her nickname. I want her to know that I am not the one to blame for us not being close anymore. "Maybe because if you continuously flirt with someone for almost years on end, they will most likely get the wrong idea!"
You could hear a pin drop after that. Emily looks at me like I just exposed her deepest, darkest secret. Which, I guess I did. Michelle has has put a gap between them, and Piper just seems confused.
Yeah, I fucking said it!
"I...I never did-"
"Right, so you didn't dance and fucking grind against me at almost every party the studio had? Didn't stare at me and try to clean with me in the showers. Or, fucking hell, whine to me for hours about your failing relationship?!
"Your love fort Michelle was in jeopardy way before I came onto the picture!"
If I had been standing this close to her last year, then I might have been tempted to lean in. Now though, her breath just smells terrible.
My attention goes over to Michelle, who's face looks just the same as it did that day she caught us.
Even if the two of us have hated each-other since we were kids, I've felt horrible for what I did to her end even more now. Tears hit the floor below her, and she quickly turns heel on it before sprinting off.
"Michelle wait!" Emily calls after her, but its no use. She races back to me with venom in her eyes. I only smirk.
This is her problem that she caused. I'm done taking the blame.
"Keep treating me like shit because you think I'm still in love with you. You've been dead to me since the moment you pulled away. The only person that I like now is her." I point at Piper.
Not a single part of me cares about Emily anymore. I just want to go back to my girlfriend. And, she gives me an adorable smile when I go over to her.
Emily walks off in a pathetic surrender, and I wrap my arms around my girl.
"So, you don't like her anymore?"
I playfully roll my eyes, with a giggle. Pulling her in, I give her a big kiss on the lips. We stay like that for a moment, pouring every bit of affection we have into each-other. I don't want to let go.
"There is nobody else, Pipes. Only you."
