( I recommend listening to 'Iris' by: The Goo Goo Dolls while reading this. )

Laura works at the liquor store down the block from Silas University. She gets A LOT of fake ID's and drunken teenagers coming in to buy liquor. To say that Laura's seen some crazy shit is an understatement. But she's never seen this:

Carmilla, Laura's boyfriend Will's, little sister strolled in wasted out of her mind.

"Hey Laurasaur." Carmilla laughed at herself stumbling and hiccuping over to the counter where Laura stood dumbfounded. "What does an underage girl gotta do to get some alcohol these days?"

"LaF could you deal with the costumers please?" Laura tapped her coworker and best friend on the shoulder before giving Carmilla a death stare.

LaFontaine wore a questioning look noticing the not-so-friendly tension between the two. "Yea... Sure..." They turned back to the customer. "May I see your license please?"

Laura took Carmilla by the bicep and dragged her in the back room where the workers store their belongings and such.

"Carmilla Karnstein, what are you doing here? And why are you intoxicated, you're only 19."

"It's all part of the college dream sweetheart." Carmilla pushed some papers off of a table and lay down on top of it, smiling to herself.

"Carmilla. Seriously. You shouldn't be here." Laura closed the door and leaned against it.

"But you want me here don't you? You want me in your life don't you?" Carmilla slurred with an attitude closing her eyes.

Laura huffed bringing her hand to her head. "Carmilla..."

"No no I get it. You're dating my brother." She got up and sway her legs off the table. "You're straight." She mocked the last word with two fingers.

"Carmilla, don't do this." Laura brought both of her hands up to hold her head while walking further into the room.

"Or what Laura." Carmilla got up swaying over to Laura. Laura held her breath when she smelled the alcoholics breath. "What are you going to do about it?" She backed Laura up against the wine rack. Laura didn't look frightened. She looked disappointed. She looked betrayed and hurt. "I fucking love you.. Laura." She backed away pointing in Laura's direction. "I know you love me too."

Laura let out her shaky breath and sunk to the floor, head in her hands.

"You can't just tell me that-that summer Will was in B-Berlin looking for a new college, didn't mean anything to you." Carmilla took a flask out of her leather pocket. "That's when our story began sweetheart." She moved her hands around sloppily gesturing every word. "Huh... Has it really been 2 years since he's left?" She looked around the room with a fake questioning look to her face. "Two year since we... Slept together? MULTIPLE TIMES!?!?" Laura started to cry listening to the younger girls words sting her heart. "Well look around now! He's there! You're here and so am I!"

"Carmilla stop it! You know it was a mistake! You knew I was lonely!" Laura snapped screaming.

Carmilla backed up against the table losing a bit of her footing. "You love me." She spat back coldly.

"Of course... I fucking love you... Carmilla." She said in shaky breaths returning her head to her lap. "HOW COULD I NOT?!" She screams wanting an honest answer.

Carmilla took a second to steady herself on the ground in front of Laura while processing all of the blondes words.

"But you're marrying Will and I'm here to rot away and to forget about." Carmilla lay on her stomach on the floor sipping from her flask, calming down a bit.

"Carmilla I could never forget about you."

"But you choose him." Carmilla lay on her back now looking at the ceiling.

"I don't have a choice." Laura's voice was muffled by her head in her lap.

"Everybody has a choice Laura." Carmilla got up choking back her tears. She took another swing and started towards the door and opened it. "The offer is still up for grabs. I'll be waiting for you. I've always waited." Carmilla finished dragging her feet out the door, slamming it behind her. "Don't worry about me. I'll call a cab." She hollered back.

Laura curled up in a ball on the floor.

She cried for a while.

She loves them both.

But she can't have both.

She hates Carmilla but she cant stop loving her.

She loves Will but she could never hate him.

Shes completely torn.

Shes broken...

~And I don't want the world to see me.

Cause I don't think that they'd understand.

When everything's made to be broken,

I just want you to know who I am.~
