Withered Love (Lesbian Story)

Withered Three: Who's who?

IF THIS was a normal day, I would probably bang on my girl's door and cuddle her all day long; it became my instant addiction. But today was different. We were having our so called lovers' quarrel. I sigh for the nth time today as I stared blankly on the white board in front of me. She's been showing her mood swings lately, maybe she had her menstrual cycle for this month but I doubt it.

"You haven't eaten since yesterday, Denise. Are you trying to kill yourself by starving? God! You're only making things complicated than it was," Edward said, no, he's more on being hysterical today. Who wouldn't be?

"I told you, I don't have the appetite to eat. If you're starving then go find yourself a food. Don't drag me with you," I said absentmindedly to him as I glance at each person who's walking along the corridor. I stood up and gathered all my things. "I should go and stay on the Student Council's office. I need some time to be alone," I said and start walking towards the door. As I was about to go out, a familiar perfume and a familiar structure got me stiffened. It was her.

I heave a deep sigh as I came near her but my feet got stuck on the area where I am currently standing right now. My brows furrowed as I stared at the person she's talking with. Who was that? I didn't even knew him.

Being a protective and a jealous girlfriend as I was, I began to walk towards them and suddenly stop in front of them. The guy's face has its questioning look while Jean wear her straight face, not even bothered if I am here.

"So, as I was saying, we should need to---"

"Excuse me, but may I steal my girl for awhile?" I asked and just when the guy was about to open his mouth to say something, I drag Jean off away from him. I held her hand tightly not bothered if she was still furious at me or not but who cares? As long as I got her poles or even miles away from that guy, I will do it.

"What the hell are you doing, Denise?!" she said as she pulled her hands but to no avail. I just held her even more. As I got us on the parking area, I eventually pushed her inside the passenger seat of my car as I, myself, make a way to the driver's seat.

"Where are we going? Are you really insane, Denise? We still have a subject to attend!" she was starting to be hilarious again.

"Are you trying to flirt behind my back, Jean? 'Cause if you really are, I'll surely kill your mistress or whatsoever. I hate to think of it that way," I said as I maneuver the steering wheel of my car abruptly.

"Why you?! Are you accusing me of being a two-timer, Denise? I so hate your smart mouth. I am really disgusted on what is happening on the both of us. If you weren't with her, you will drag yourself with Edward or whoever and when I am the one dealing with the other, you will easily get jealous. How unfair of you," she said as she harshly sigh and crossed her arms into her chest.

"So now you fuming mad at me? Seriously? I don't even understand why and what's wrong with this commitment thingy. Just so you know Jean, if you had already forgotten, we have a realtionship. A serious relationship to deal with," I said as I park the car on the only area left in this place. We're here on our sacred place. I got out immediately and make my way to her side but before I could even touch the car door, she opened it and go out for herself and slammed it hard.

"Let's talk this over," she said as she left me alone and started to walk with herself, alone. My brow furrowed as I heave a deep sigh and follow her. She was walking to fast as if she was walking and running at the same time, how could she do that? I knew her long enough and she's the type of girl who have a well etiquette and such but now, all I can see is herside of being fuming mad, furious and did I already even say mad? Well, yeah. She really is.

She was the first person who entered the sacred place, under the Cherry Blossom tree, leaning her back on it and breathing heavily as her face was slightly turning red.

"My, my, so you even have the guts to be mad at me like that?" I said as walked to her side trying to wrapped her in my arms but she just harshly tapped my arms away. I question her with a look but she just stare away.

"You should have asked me first before dragging me here, Denise. I am dealing with that guy because I had a low grade on Calculus. I badly need to talk with him," she said with her eyes closed as if she's trying to calm herself.

"Then you didn't even bother to told me that thing?!" I irritatedly asked.

"I'm so done with this matter! Can't you even trust me for this?! This is my study and my grade that's at stake. For pete sake, Denise, try to be more patient, more responsible as my girlfriend. I am doing my very best to be a good girlfriend for you," she said, teary eyed. She was really that mad because of me being jealous with the other guy.

"Lower your voice, Baby. Let's settle this things," I said as I reach for her arms. "I didn't mean to ruin it. It's just that I---"

"That only means you don't have enough trust on me! You see? Just when I was about to talk to him, you just pulled me over and dropped me here. You even mentioned that I was a flirt, a slut and such. Do I really look like one of those? Don't you even trust me? My gosh! For once, show me that you have trust on me."

I was shock at her statement and bewildered at the same time. I am not going to lost her, am I?

"Listen, Jean---"

Answer the phone, Baby. I'm calling...

I stopped as we both stared at each other. If she was furious awhile ago, well then, it just doubled now. She was looking at me suspectedly as I felt the vibration on my pocket and the sound that it made seconds ago was repeated. What the hell was that?!

"Was that your phone?!" she then try to reach for my pocket but I moved backwards, away from her.

"Of course not! I didn't changed my ringtone anyway," I said defensively but I know that it was my phone, mine and mine along. Heck! Who the hell changed it anyway?!

"You're lying. Let me see who's calling," she said as she got me hooked up on the place and snatch my phone on my pocket. Her eyes suddenly turned watery as she gaze at me. She smiled sarcastically at me as she started sobbing.

"Look who's being a two-timer. You're accusing me that I am doing such thing but in fact, you were the one who's playing with my feeling after all. Tell me, is it fun?" she asked as she remove the tears that running through her cheeks. She faced my phone's screen at me as it rang and vibrated again, showing the name of the caller.

Dominique calling...

I gasped as I tried to talk but nothing was going out of my mouth. I faced palm as I lowered my gaze. "I don't know who change that freaking ringtone of mine," I said as I bit my lower lips, I was telling her the truth and hopefully she believed me.

"You think I still believe you? God!" she said as she threw away my phone causing it to fall on the riverside of this Park.

"What the hell, Jean?!" I said, jumping as I became more uneasy with this situation.

"You told me that she was just your bestfriend? I trusted you for that because I believe you wouldn't betray me but see what happened? Are you two fucking behind my back, doing things that a real couple do? Doing things that... that..." she, again, lean her back on the trunk of the tree and covered her face. I heard a sob coming from her so I reach for her waist and hugged her.

"Hush please, I didn't fuck another girl beside you and there's no someone else. Please, stop crying now. I hate to see you crying because of me, being a worthless person ever. Stop crying," I said as I held her even tighter. I so love this girl even though we were going through this rough side of the story, I still do love her. Nothing will change.

Week after that incident that almost made us split up, everything was backed to normal. Or am I just assuming things?

I can barely remember what she said on me. It was clouded by the thought but still I could manage to hear and remember it clearly, "Don't even wait for me. Things between us will be over soon. And that soon will be now."

"If you leave me now, you will take everything away from me. You will take the greatest part of me and that is my heart," I bit my lower lips as I hug both of knees.
