Don't Leave Me

chapter 7

*dinah pov*

"what had happened was.."

i braced myself for what was about to happen. would I be happy or not ? how will I be able to take the news?

"after the whole graduation speech, we threw our caps into the air. that's when I was about to find you but my parents pulled me away from the group of people surrounding us. I was asking them what was wrong because they didn't look too happy and that's when they started to yell."

I sat there patiently waiting for her to continue. she shifted away from me and looked towards the door. I sighed as I scooted back until my back was against my headboard.

"they were saying how they wanted me to go to a camp that will take the "gay" out of me . I asked them how they knew and they wouldn't tell me. they kept screaming and then I began to scream at them. it ended up with an ultimatum . I leave you and lose all contact with you or lose them and my trust fund."

"you chose your parents."

"you knew I needed them."

"I need the whole story normani. you're not telling me all of it."

"don't say my full name like that.. I feel like you don't like me anymore." she whispered.

"I need the truth ."

"it's hard okay ? do you not understand how hard it is to tell you the whole thing? do you know how many nights I cried myself to sleep? do you know how hard it was to actually get the courage to finally approach you and end it? do you know that I cried when I left you? do you know I had to practice what I was going to tell you for awhile before I had it down ? I didn't want to leave you Dinah ! I wanted a future with you but that was ruined because of what happened. do you know how many nights I kept thinking about you and if I was ever going to see you again ? I lost you Dinah . I lost the love of my life because of this."

she started to cry and I felt my heart break. I shifted towards her and pulled her into a hug. her arms wrapped around me as wet tears fell onto my shirt. I held her tighter but still gentle.

"just calm down okay? it just hurts me to know that you chose your parents over me."

"I didn't want to ." she managed to say without her voice cracking.

"when you've calm down then we can continue this conversation."

she nods and we lay in each other's arms for awhile. when she finally calmed down, she climbed into my lap and sat there for a little bit.

"don't hate me."

"I could never."

she smiles and then takes a deep breath.

"after I left you, I went back to my parents. that's when I saw Aryanna laughing with them. so I approached them with a frown and they smiled at me. they introduce Aryanna to me but I told them I already knew her. that's when something clicked in my parent's mind. they started to ask me a billion questions. Aryanna was just smirking at me because from what I could tell my parents didn't know she was gay because if they did they wouldn't have been talking to her. she was the one that ruined everything. she was the reason why I had to leave you. with them questioning me and Aryanna smiling evilly, I decided to speak up . I asked them if they knew Aryanna was gay. her smile went to a frown and my parents stood there silently. I continued on saying how I stole her girlfriend away from her and that this was revenge. if she outed me then I was going to out her too. I'm not about to have someone disrespect me without disrespecting them. she left in a haste and I stood there smiling. my parents were giving me glares but I didn't care. they told me that they wanted me to go to the camp. I told them no and that education comes first. they agreed and said that after I finish college then I'll be going to camp. I said no once again and they raised their eyebrows. I told them that if I'm sent to the camp then it won't help me . I had to make a negotiation with them. I said if I managed to pass all my classes with a's then they can't disown me because I make our surname look good. if I didn't then I'd go to the camp. they actually agreed to that . so I worked my ass off to make straight a's that didn't go below a 100. they don't accept me still but they still treat me like I'm their daughter because I have made us look good."

"so this is Aryanna's fault."

"yeah but don't worry, I took care of it. no, I did not kill her if that's what you're thinking of."

"then.. what did.. you do ?"

"let's just say I got my revenge."

I sat there in silence as I tried to process everything that happened. in the midst of thinking, Normani's phone started to go off. I snap out of my thoughts to look at her. she didn't look too happy and she quickly stood up. she was about to leave. I knew that for a fact.

"I'll be home soon. don't let him leave."

she ended the call abruptly before staring at me. she pulled me into a hug and kisses my forehead.

"I don't want to leave but Jafre really needs me there."

I nod as I watched her leave. I like to believe that she was coming back because she probably was but that didn't stop me from thinking that she wouldn't come back. I finally understood why she left. I didn't like it but I'll get over it. it's not like she intended on leaving me. she was forced to. I probably would've done the same in her position but my parents didn't care. they supported me. of course not everyone will accept that their child is gay because some are really religious and strictly oppose homosexuality . I just wished that people could stop being hateful towards the lgbt community and accept everyone.

we're all human and it doesn't matter what gender we love, we are all human. there's nothing wrong with liking someone of the same gender. it's love and love comes in different forms or whatever. you can't help who you fall in love with. you can't choose your sexuality . you can't say that you're straight one day and then say you're gay the next. that's not how it works. people can love whomever they want and not be afraid about it. we can't hide forever. we just have to embrace ourselves no matter who hates it. everyone deserves to be loved not hated .

A/N: I know it's short and all but I've just had a lot of things on my mind. school is stressful and everything that has happened within the last week was terrible . I don't even know if this story is actually good . I don't even feel like writing anymore. I just want some time to myself to figure myself out . I don't even have the motivation to write . so I'm probably going on a hiatus for now. I'm not even sure what's going to happen. I love all my readers to those who don't comment or vote or to those who do vote and comment. I appreciate everything and I feel the love writing this when I get a comment or vote. it actually makes me happy . anyway, bye guys. for now .
