Young Closure. [Lesbian Stories]

Chapter 4

Ethan was at work and I had the rest of the night to myself. I retrieved my coffee mug from the microwave and dumped a packet of hot chocolate in it while slowly storing it with a spoon. I sat down in front of the window with my book in one hand, hot chocolate on my side, and glanced at my beautiful view of the city. Silver snowflakes obliquely fell and glistened in the dim streetlight as they coated the empty streets. Watching the snow fall was one of my favorite activities. Just as soon as I was getting lost in my book, I heard a knock at the door. "Seriously Kris, I am not helping you unload more boxes. It's fucking freezing outside." I mumbled as I strolled over to the meta door and pulled it open to expose whomever hid behind the door. "Hey...." Kris stood at my front door with her hair tied up in a immaculate pony tail, a black cut off that had some heavy metal band printed on it with fluorescent blue splatters on it. She was clutching her arm with her hand that was covered with blood. Although calm, she had to have been in pain. "Oh my God, what happened?!?" I grabbed her by her waist and jerked her inside quickly shutting and locking the door. She turned towards me. "I cut my arm on a piece of metal and I didn't know what to do." I squinted my eyes at her but didn't question her explanation. After grabbing the first aid kit, I sat her down on the kitchen counter and examined her arm. I cleaned her cut and stitched her deep cut; I was surprised that she hardly even flinched. Her facial expressions had pain written all over them. "Who attacked you?" Kris furrowed her eyebrows and gave me a confused look. "What? I told you I cut myself on some-" I cut her off, "You don't have to lie to me." My words must have triggered something in her because her face was no longer calm and looked distressed. She closed her eyes and tears slowly ran down her face; she quickly turned her head away and wiped away her tears. I suddenly felt really bad for this girl. She was just a child....I wrapped my arms around her and have her a tight hug.
