Love Is Love (Discontinued)

Chapter 5 - A Not-So-Happy Kitchen Family Reunion

(Ashley's POV)

"...My m-mom..."

That's all Martti said before answering the phone, "H-hello?" "Hey sweetie! It's been a while since we last spoke to each other." said a female voice, most likely to be her mom. "Y-yeah, it h-has." "What's wrong? You sound like there's something troubling you." "N-no no no no! Th-there's nothing wrong! I-it's j-just that school h-has been piling up on m-me, you k-know? Tests h-here, h-homework there. It's j-just been taking a huge t-toll on me." "Oh. Well, just make sure you're taking is easy. I don't want to here that my own daughter became brain fried. Anyway, I was calling to tell that I'm on my way to come visit you." "W-wait what?!" "What? You sound as if you don't want me to come over." "N-no, it's j-just... I'm s-surprised, that's all." "Oh... well, okay. I thought 'Since I'm in town, why not see my daughter?', you know. Well, let me hang up. I'll be there in a little bit. Love you!" "L-love you too..."

Martti had hung and set her phone back down before she started sobbing, pulling her knees up to her chest as she buryed her face in them. I pulled her into hug, "M-Martti, what's wrong?" I asked as she looked up at me, tears falling from her eyes. "M-my mom's on her way here..." she said as I became a little confused. "I d-dont see the problem..." I said. "Sh-she... she hates gay people..." Martti said. "W-well, maybe when she sees u-" "No. T-that won't help. I w-was with another g-girl once. We were p-pretty happy together. B-but... when momma find out, sh-she made break up w-with her. She told m-me that if sh-she ever caught me w-with another girl..." Martti paused, "She'll d-disown me. I don't wanna lose my momma, but I don't wanna lose you either!" Martti cried. I gave her a hug as she ruptured it, burying her face in my neck.

It's awful that someone would disown their own child because of... well, anything!

*KNOCK!* *KNOCK!* *KNOCK!*

Someone knocking at the door caused Martti and I to gasp and jump, "Hello!? Martriana!?" came a female voice from. And judging by the way Martti reacted to by hugging me even tighter, it must've been her mom.

Martti looked at me as I looked back at her before giving her a (somewhat) confident smile and a kiss on the cheek, "Y-you can do it." I sweetly told her as she smiled and nodded softly.

We got off the mattress and put our clothes on, me putting my panties and shirt back on as Martti put on some boxers (yes, boxers) along with her camo pants and black tank top. Martti left the room towards the front door as I stood in front of the door of her bedroom. Martti, with a shaking hand, slowly twisted the doorknob, opening the door to reveal a woman with the same toffee colored skin as Martti and seemed to be at least a foot taller while having black hair tied into a ponytail. She had a on blue business suit but with a knee length skirt and black stockings with a pair of black heels. "Oh, my baby! Oh, you've gotten soo tall!" her mom gushed as she pulled Martti into a hug as Martti meekly returned the embrace. "H-hey mom..." Martti said, trying to sound upbeat, only to sound more nervous. Her mom let out content sigh before looking at Martti as she furrowed her brows when she seen how red Martti's eyes were, "Why are your eyes so puffy and red? Have you been crying?" her mom questioned as Martti flinched a little. "N-no, m-my eyes are just watery from... my allergies." Martti excused as she gave a nervous chuckle. "Hmm... I guess." her mom said before looking around the apartment, "I have to say, this place looks pretty nice. You and Marcus seem have come a long way." her mom, continuing to admire.

Who in the bloody-hell is Marcus?

"Y-yeah... about that... me and Marcus ain't together anymore." Martti said as her mom looked at her with a shocked look. "You aren't? Aww, that's a shame. I liked him, he was just the gentleman for you." her mom praised as Martti rolled her eyes. Her mom sighed, "Oh well. Though, I think this is the perfect opportunity for me to take you out to meet this nice-" her mom said as she suddenly paused. Though, I quickly knew what caused her to pause so suddenly. She was staring at something, and quickly figured out what that "something" was.
