Green Eyed Angel (Lesbian Story)

Chapter 4

She sat down next to me, looking shocked and surprised to see me. Well, she's not the only one.

I stared into her vibrant green eyes, not saying anything. What was there to say? Oh, don't worry about me. I just ran away from your mom because she was treating me like a daughter and my brain wouldn't shut up. Yeah, that doesn't make you sound crazy at all, Lola.

I roll my eyes at my own thoughts and Emerald looks offended. I tilt my head to the side, still not saying anything. "If you didn't want me to be here, all you had to do was say so." What did I do? All I did was rol- Oh! She thinks I meant it towards her! I blush and look down, fiddling with my fingers.

"I, um, I didn't mean it towards you. I meant it towards myself. Ha." Totally not an idiot, Lola, totally.

She looks at me like I just grew an extra head. "Towards yourself? How in the world do you roll your eyes because of yourself?" While she was talking I still didn't look up. I was too busy thinking about how I need to bang my head on everything and go, "Bad Lola! Stupid Lola!" Like Dobby from Harry Potter.

"Why would you want to do that?!" Emerald asks, panicked. I finally look back up at her and I can feel the confusion on my face.

"Would want to do what?" I question her and raise an eyebrow.

"Bang your head on everything like Dobby! The fact you like Harry Potter is awesome, but besides the point. What did you do to want to do that to yourself?" She asks, looking at me with concern.

I look back down and cough nervously. "Well, you see, what had happened was, I was trying to figure out a way to tell you why I ran away from your mom and I ca-" I was interrupted by Emerald standing up frantically.

"You ran away from mom?! Oh my gosh, she must be worried sick about you Lola. I'm calling her. How long have you been here?" She asks while dialing who I'm guessing is Mrs.Vivian to tell her where I am.

"Umm, twenty minutes maybe. Give or take." She runs her fingers through her long and wavy red hair. The same hair I have been dreaming of. The same hair that I so badly want to touch. I turn my head away and look the other direction. I can't start having these thoughts now. Especially now, with the fact that she is kinda my sister? Would she be considered my sister? Or just a person I'm living with because of how old we both are? I facepalm myself. Now is not the time, Lola!

"-he way to get us. Lola? Are you listening?" I turn back to look at Emerald. I hope she wasn't talking the whole time I was in my own head.

I shake my head. "I'm sorry. What did you say?"

She smiles and sighs. "I said, mom is on her way to pick us up. And I was right. She was, well is, worried sick."

Once again, I look away. "That's why I ran away." I whisper very quietly to myself. Well, I thought I was quiet.

"You ran away because she was worried? Lola, that makes no sense at all." She asks in shock.

I shake my head and laugh, but it contains no humor. No emotion at all, really. "No, I ran away because I felt loved. Cared about. She treated me like a daughter, and she didn't have to. But the one that was supposed to, beat me black and blue. She tried to kill me, Emerald! I could have died!" By the middle of my speech I was already back in tears. Emerald lifted me up by my arms and took me into hers. She grasped me tightly, rubbing soothing circles on my back.

"Oh, Lola, I didn't know it was that bad." I shake my head and tighten my grip on her. At this moment, Emerald was my life support. After dreaming of her for months with no memory of ever meeting her before, I just want to be in her arms. They bring me the most comfort. The most love. The most want. If I had the choice to stay here in her arms forever, I would take it in the blink of an eye.

I was broken from my thoughts when Emerald gripped me by my shoulders and looked at my tear stained face. "You don't need to worry about her anymore. I know that you will still always love her, no matter what she did to you, because she is your mother. It's hard to just stop loving the most important figure in your life. But, you don't have to hate her. You can if you want, but I wouldn't. Just don't hold all of it in and turn it into hatred for others. That is the most important thing to learn from this." She took my face into her hands and stared into my eyes fiercely, "My family, ours now, will protect you and love you no matter what. You might ha e lost it all, but I'm here to save you now." She leaned down and kissed my forehead.

I smiled up at her Black Veil Brides reference and I saw a twinkle in her eyes. But, she was right. I didn't, and still don't, hate my mother. How could I? She is sick and maybe her being in jail will help her realize this. And maybe, just maybe, we can be back to the way we were before. Once again I am pulled from my thoughts when I get pulled from behind. I let out a yelp as I am wrapped in arms. Not one pair, but two.

"Lola! You gave us such a scare! I didn't know what to think when you ran out of subway like that. Please, don't do that again, sweetie."

I laugh and pull Mrs.Vivian closer to me. "I won't I promise." I feel a kiss being placed on my head and look up to see that the other pair of arms belong to Mr.Dallas. I turn so I can hug him, too. "Thank you guys, so much."

They both pull back and look at each other before looking back at me with a questioning gaze. "What do you mean?"

"For caring. No, don't say anything back." I say when I see both of them open their mouths to say something back. "I just want you both to know how thankful I am. For everything. So thank you." I lean up and kiss both of them on the cheek. Mrs.Vivian pulls me into another bone crushing hug.

"You are so very welcome sweetie." As I am in her arms, I see someone standing behind her. It's my green eyed, red haired angel smiling at the three of us. And I couldn't have been happier in that moment.
