Just One Kiss (Lesbian Story) - Completed

Chapter 6

There I said it. It was out in the open, for better or for worse.

I looked down immediately. I wanted to see his reaction, butI wasn't sure I could digest another disgusted expression, or pity for that matter. So I waited for some other indication, whether to continue or just shut up and walk away. Or give him enough time, if he was descent, to at-least school his expression.

When minutes seemed to feel like hours, and when there was no reaction, I slowly lifted my eyes to gauge.

What I saw was neither disgust nor pity, but curiosity. I was surprised to say the least, but before I could make my mind up on how I felt about that, he says, "OK. Go on".

I was once again surprised but chose not to question. Curiosity was better that pity or repulsion, I decided. So, I continue.

"I was in love with my best friend, Callie, since forever. I thought... no, I know she reciprocated the feelings, so, I let her know a few months ago. All was well... and then it wasn't." I looked down again. "Everybody came to know- the school, the teachers, the neighbors, my parents – the whole damn town. And then everything went to hell. First, it was the rumors, the names, the whispers, the snide comment,then downright accusations and mental abuse."

The words now seemed to flow. Almost cathartically. It waslike a dam breaking open. 

"I was fine, I even expected most of it, when I knew everything had gone to hell, but what actually broke me was when Callie refused to acknowledge it. Acknowledge us. She denied everything. Us, the kiss, and made it seem like it was all me. So, I endured everything. And even after all this; I don't think I hate her."

I sigh and looked up at the clear blue sky. I wasn't fair,for the world to look the same when nothing actually was. "I am pathetic." I finally look at him.

Now, he sighs and for some reason, he looks disappointed. "I see.", he says. What exactly he saw, I did not know. He looked at me for a minute and then says almost angrily "so, you decided to jump. For what exactly?"

Wait.

 What?

Before I can say anything, he continues. "No, I get it. I understand that you were tortured, abused and what not. I understand and you most certainly did not deserve any of it. But, what exactly do you expect tohappen after you had jumped? "

Now, I got angry. How dare? "How dare you judge me? Do youhave any idea of the things they say about me? Not just the kids at school, the glares from the teachers, the subtle, vile remarks from the neighbors andtownies? Even my parents-" , my voice breaks. I take in a breath and glare athim. "They will never stop, never let me live in peace."

Now he looks skeptical. "How would you know? You neverfought back."
