Special Kinda Love (Lesbian Story)

Chapter 5

"Why aren't we just staying home?" Shiloh questioned from his car seat behind the passenger side.

Holly turned down the music, "because you and I are having a sleep over. It's not much of one if we stay home, now is it?"

"I guess not." He looked whist fully out his window, making Holly crack a smile at how adorable her... Shiloh was.

Holly's smile lost it's joy and turned to sadness, that'd been happening a lot lately. At first she didn't know why, it was something she couldn't quite pinpoint, but after spending a week alone and having so much free time she ended up going through all of her belongings -which turned out to be a one day job. Holly didn't really have much in ways of belongings, probably because she didn't consider her apartment to be home-, organizing and cleaning everything, she worked out more than she should, got caught up on all of her paper work, finished her article, and still had time to overthink her life. Which had shon a light on why she had so much time.

The disappearance of Gail and Shiloh.

The Pecks, the two she's dedicated the past five years of her life to, the two that made her smile, the two that she loved more than anything, her family. They were her everything. And once Holly came to that conclusion she understood what Shiloh had been saying, he was right, maybe not in the way it sounded to adults but to him and in all of their hearts, Holly, Gail and Shiloh were a family.

And for that very reason, for the empty hole in her heart, she made it her mission to get Gail to stop avoiding her. Holly knew the game, could see the blonde climbing a tree from a mile away, and Gail wasn't the best at giving her excuses -they got really weak and lame real quickly. So she knew that something happened between them, something she couldn't remember, and it happened on the night they were supposed to go to the restaurant.

And the fact that she couldn't remember half of that night freaked her out. Anything could have happened. She could have said something that hurt Gail, she could have spilt out her feelings about Shiloh calling her mom and it freaked Gail out, she could have gotten too drunk and over stepped boundaries. Holly tended to be a cuddly drunk and sometimes got a little too friendly with people, overwhelmingly beautiful and sexy girls in particular. And it was no surprise that she was attracted to Gail, she had eyes and common sense, it was one of the biggest things that first attracted Holly to the blonde. But this was Gail, her best friend, and she didn't even see her in that way anymore.

Holly hoped that whatever she had done could be fixed soon, she missed her cranky officer, and more than that she missed their family. She needed them back together.

Holly went to park in her usual spot in Gail's driveway but it was taken up by a familiar car. Detective Anderson.

"What the hell is she doing here?" Holly muttered angrily under her breath. Why it angered her, she didn't know. Maybe it was because Gail said she was working late and wanted a few hours to herself tomorrow on her day off, it was why Shiloh was going over to her place and Holly not just babysitting at the house. And here Gail was, with company.

With company.

"Oh my god." Her eyes were wide, acid growing in the pit of her stomach but she didn't have time to dwell on it because Shiloh's door slammed and there was no way Holly was going to let the boy walk in on that.

On Gail and Frankie doing something they hadn't done in years, something Holly didn't quite understand the relationship of.

Holly jumped out of the car and scooped the boy into her arms, "why don't you grab your Izzy mix from Mama's car and start it while I go in and get Chewy." She told more than asked, holding Shiloh upside down.
