Pirouette

Chapter Forty Nine // Discovery

- Ella's POV -

The boarding house was silent because everyone had passed out, but I couldn't sleep.

1. Kim wasn't back from wherever her and Hayden had gone.

2. The kiss with Alison.

Are feelings suppose to make you feel confused? Are they suppose to keep you up all night wondering?

Suddenly there was a loud thump as if a door was being swung open, somebody ran into the bathrooms and began to throw up. I got out of bed quickly and ran out of my room.

"Hello? Do you want me to get you some water or something?" I said while entering the bathroom and walking over to the cubicle, then I realised it was Alison. I went silent and looked down at the ground, she glanced back at me then sighed.

"Didn't we promise that you would eat something?" I asked before folding my arms, she nodded.

"Yes and I did. That's why I'm being sick.. my body isn't used to food" She explained while hanging her head over the toilet seat. I took the hair bobble out of my hair and tied Alison's hair up to prevent her from getting sick all over it.

"Thanks" She said quietly without making eye contact, I jumped up on to the sinks and rested my head on the mirrors behind me.

Should I bring up what happened at the club or is it too early to talk about it? I'm not very good at this stuff. I sighed loudly and kept my focus on the ceiling. After a few minutes of silence Alison got up from the cubicle floor and approached me, she looked up at me sitting on the sinks and took my hands in hers.

"I-If you're going to kiss me again I suggest you clean up first" I said nervously, she laughed loudly and agreed. My heart thumped as she began to wash her face in the sink beside me and gargle sink water.

I jumped off the sink and gave her a hug, I don't know why but it just felt right.

"Alison.. If you don't mind me asking, but what are you?" I asked while pulling away from her, she grinned slightly and looked in the mirror.

"I'm an alien" She said with a smirk, I hit her playfully.

"I'm talking about your sexuality!" I shouted while rolling my eyes, she nodded and looked down.

"Yeah.. I'm a lesbian, in the closet lesbian I guess" Alison said quietly, I looked at her in shock. All the pieces are coming together now.

  ~~ Flash back ~~

"Did you know that  Alison has never had a boyfriend.. Ever?"

~~~~~~~

I smiled widely at her and took her hands.

"Well I accept who you are, you shouldn't be afraid to come out" I said, she nodded again.

"What about you, what are you Ella?" Alison asked while tilting her head, I bit my lip and shrugged.

"I really have no idea.." I said hanging my head in shame, Alison made the 'hmm' sound as if she was thinking.

"Do you like guys?" She asked a minute later, I looked up at her and nodded straight away.

"Do you like girls?" She asked again, I shrugged slightly and sighed.

"I've never really thought about it until.. Until I.." I stopped myself from telling Alison that I had feelings for her. But I think she knew what I meant, she couldn't stop smiling.

"I like you too" Alison whispered, I looked up at her in shock and she automatically kissed me. It felt more important than the first one which took place in the club, this kiss was no longer confused or scared. This kiss was love.
