My Secret Girlfriend

Chapter Twenty-Three: Loved

Hearing Amber's name reminded me of everything that had happened.. How I realized that Libby had been cheating on me the entire time, and how Amber had kissed me. "Yeah, Amber told me a few things." I mumbled, tears coming to my eyes, "Tell me Libby, did you feel guilty when you were fucking her behind my back?" I barked at her. My doctor cleared her throat uncomfortably, "I'll check on you in a little bit Piper." She said walking out the door. As it clicked shut, I glanced back at Libby whose brow was furrowed, "What are you talking about, Piper?" I scoffed and rearranged myself so I was sitting upright, "Amber told me everything about you two." Libby shook her head at me, and reached for my hand, "Piper, she's a pathological liar. She always has been." I jerked my hand away and folded my arms over my chest, "Really?" She frowned at me, recoiling from me rejecting her touch, "Piper, she--" My mum opened the hospital door, interrupting Libby mid-sentence, "I hope I'm not coming in at a bad time?" She asked hesitantly, peeking her head around the door. "No, you're fine. I'll give you two some time to talk." Libby said reaching over and squeezing my hand and giving me a small smile, but I refused to look back at her. My mum smiled at Libby and gave her a small hug, "she'll come around Liberty." My mom said, calling Libby by her full name. Libby left the room, shutting the door behind her as my mom sat down next to my bed. She smiled at me and tucked a piece of hair behind my ear, "Still beautiful." She whispered, planting a kiss on my forehead. I faintly smiled at her, and reached for her hand, "I'm glad you're here." She gave my hand a squeeze and rubbed my palm with her thumb, "Well, I wouldn't be if it wasn't for Libby." "She called you?" I asked with a surprised tone. My mother chuckled at me and reached down, stroking my cheek with her thumb, "I was the first person she called. She wanted to make sure I knew what had happened." My mum took a deep breathe and looked towards the door Libby just left from, "She really loves you Piper." I looked up at her, although she was still facing away from me. I saw the tears form on the corner of her eyes as they trickled down her cheek. "Oh mom, don't cry!" I pleaded, reaching out for her. She hugged me tightly, rubbing my back, "I'm so sorry Piper." She whispered between sobs. "I know mum, I know." I assured her, stroking her back.

We sat there for a while, enjoying the comforting feeling of being enveloped in a hug, until my mum pulled away, wiping her eyes. "You know Piper, I was just scared for you when you told me about you and Libby." She sighed and gave me a worried look, "After what happened between your Dad and I-- him leaving me for another man, I guess I've been bitter." She frowned and looked down at her freshly manicured hands, "but now I realize how much you truly mean to Libby. She hasn't left your bedside for two days straight." I smiled slightly down at my hands, thinking of Libby refusing to leave me for 48 hours straight. I heard a knock at the door, as Libby peered back inside, "Piper, can I talk to you quick? I was going to get you chocolate pudding but I--" I cut her off mid-sentence as I ran from my hospital bed, and wrapped my arms tightly around her, planting my lips against hers. I felt my mum sneak by us, and shutting the door behind her. "Piper, what's that for?" Libby murmured against my lips." I didn't pull back, but smile against her lips, "because Libby, I love you."
