Forever You and I (Lesbian Story - COMPLETED)

Chapter 12

Coley

It took a little while for me to heal completely, so my dance class at school was delayed. It's been a month since my accident, and now everything is going incredibly well. It's shortly after two in the afternoon, and I'm walking back to Maddie's apartment, just having finished my writing class.

At first I was very overwhelmed being here, with the many city people, considering I've lived in a small town since birth. But I've come to love this. There's always something happening. There's never a dull moment here.

The cool October air sends a slight chill down my body, and I pull my beanie down a little more. I feel a buzz in my jacket pocket, and pull my phone. It's a text message from Sonya.

Sonya: BABY. Save me. Work is so dead right now. Come for a little visit? I'll give you a free latte ;)

I smile, and type out my reply.

Me: Bribing me with free beverages, Jones? Fine, I'll be there in five.

I shake my head at myself. Things between us have never been better. After our fight, something changed in our relationship. Something good. We've gotten so much better at talking about what we feel. How we feel. Our emotions. The love, the sadness, the jealousy, the happiness. The positive emotions always overcome everything. It's so good that we talk about it all. It makes us so much stronger. I mean, not that we didn't talk about stuff before, we're just better at it now.

My phone vibrates again, and I look at it.

Sonya: you're the best. I love you xo

My heart swells. Seeing her write that, hearing her say it, is something I'll never get used too.

Me: I love you the most.

Later in the evening, I'm lying on the couch, my laptop propped open on my lap, and I'm typing away. I was given an assignment at the beginning of the week to compose a short story based on a past event from your life. Well, being shunned by Sonya's parents is a good writing topic. Of course, I had asked my girlfriend beforehand to make sure I was able to write that, and she basically jumped on it, giving me things to write. She was very enthusiastic about it. She said she wants to shine a light on inappropriate parental behaviour like kicking your child out for loving someone of the same sex. I shake my head at the thought. Small minded people.

I get to thinking about my own parents. I still haven't heard a thing from them. I'm surprised, and very saddened by it. I understand that my mom might not like that I'm in love with Sonya, but I'd still expect a call from her, or even a text to make sure I was okay. I feel hurt by this silence. Then again, I'm not doing anything to approach her either, so I can't really point any fingers.

Am I a disappointment to her? Does she hate me now? Will I ever see her again? Hear from her? I swallow, not wanting to think the worse. I may have been annoyed with my mom, but I still love her.

I feel a vibration against my hip, and it breaks me out of my thoughts. I dig between the couch and my body to grab my phone. I look at it. I got a text from Sam.

Sam: YO. You, Sonya and I. Tomorrow. We're going out. We haven't done anything since school started!

I smile. Sam and I have been texting weekly, to check up on each other. When he found out about my accident, he got so angry, he wanted to go on a manhunt and in his words "fuck the fucker up." He came to visit once or twice a week while I was recovering to bring me some cool movies to watch. He usually came over when Sonya was at work, so that he can keep me busy while I was alone. Sonya was grateful for that, because she was such a worry wart. She never wanted to leave my side. I think she still felt guilty.
