Forever You and I (Lesbian Story - COMPLETED)

Chapter 14

Coley

I've been dreading this day all weekend. Sunday. The day I'm going to call my mom. Friday night was a good distraction to take my mind off of what's to come. Yesterday, however, I was back on my nerves, my anxiety not letting up. Today is worse.

Sonya is currently in the shower. She has work in two hours, so she's getting ready. I'm in our room, pacing the floors heavily, my breathing rapid and uneven. I can't do this, I can't do this, I repeat to myself, trying to calm down. At this point, I don't think I'll relax until this dreaded conversation is over. I don't even know why I'm so nervous, I mean, when Maddie talked to our mother, she was saying how worried she was. If she hated me, she wouldn't be worried, right?

I sigh, sitting down on the bed. It won't do me any good if I keep thinking negatively.

The door to the bedroom opens, and Sonya walks in, a towel wrapped around her body. I must look really distressed, because she immediately walks over to me, and sits down, her arms engulfing me.

"Oh baby, it'll be okay," she ensures me, her voice soft and loving. She rocks me a bit, trying to get me to breathe deeply. As the minutes pass by like this, I can feel my heart slowing down to a regular pace. I pull away slightly and look into her eyes, where I'm met with nothing but love and concern.

"With you here, it will be," I tell her, leaning in to capture her lips into a gentle kiss.

She smiles into it, bringing me in for another hug.

After she gets dressed, we walk out into the living room. Maddie is sitting on the couch, eating the biggest muffin I've ever seen. She doesn't realize we're here until I let out a laugh when I see her stuff a huge chunk into her mouth, and she looks up sheepishly. "Don't judge me," she says around a mouthful of muffin.

Sonya giggles, and I smirk at her. "Maybe I should take a pic and send it to Dan."

Maddie glares at me, swallowing. "You wouldn't dare."

"Try me," I challenge her, sitting down on the couch across from her, Sonya going into the kitchen to pack a lunch for work.

A pillow hits me square in the face, causing Sonya and Maddie to crack up, the latter winking at me. I roll my eyes at them, crossing my arms in mock stubbornness.

The silliness dies down, and I'm left feeling anxious once more. Sonya comes into the living room, sitting down on the couch beside me, her hand resting on my thigh in a comforting manner. I look up at her, smiling, before looking at Maddie, who is smiling encouragingly.

"Do I need to do this?" I whine, taking my phone out of my pocket, looking at it with dismay.

Maddie sighs, giving me her signature look. Her scary look. "Coley, yes you need to do this. Mom is waiting for you. She's just as anxious to talk. But she's really looking forward to it."

I whine again, closing my eyes, and leaning my head against the back of the couch. "I'm still angry with her for not calling me."

"Yes and you have every right to be. Especially after your accident," Maddie says. "But you haven't tried reaching out to her either, so you're not exactly in the clear either."

I nod, rolling my eyes, "Yes Mads, I know that. You've told me countless of times already." She shakes her head at my exaggeration. Sonya grabs my hand, squeezing it lightly, raising an eyebrow at me.

Taking a deep breath, I look down at my phone. "I'm sorry for being sassy. I'm nervous."

I look back up to Maddie, to see her getting up and making her way towards Sonya and I, kneeling down on the floor in front of us. "I know you are. But it'll be okay sis, Sonya and I are here. Besides, I assure you, Mom doesn't hate you, nor is she mad at you."
