Mariah Oneshots

Mean Girls [pt. 5]

****Patricia's POV****

"Ma'am, we found Mariah's body tossed into the trees right off of Highway 31."  Detective Anderson told me. I immediately shook my head as the tears started to flow down my face; I kept praying that they would find my baby.....but I wanted her to be found alive.

"N-no, no you didn't.....sh-she's not gone......" I cried, refusing to believe what I was hearing. Alfred, on the other hand, had frozen stiff after Detective Anderson told us the news.....it was like Alfred's body no longer allowed him to move or speak. He had been staying at my house since Mariah went missing so that if we got any information, we'd know together.

"I'm sorry ma'am.....we have her body down in the lab for autopsy. We'll have the results and cause of death for you by the morning. Then, you two can decide whether you want to bury her, have her cremated, or if you want us to take her and we decide the alternative."

"W-we.....we have to t-tell her girlfriend." Alfred softly said, speaking for the first time since we got the news. I looked over at him with confusion, because I thought I had misheard what he said, and I decided to address it.

"Wh-what did you just say?" I asked.

"W-we.....we need to t-tell her girlfriend that sh-she's gone." Alfred said.

"G-girlfriend? Wh-what do you mean by that?"

"I meant wh-what I just said.....her g-girlfriend, Stephanie."

"Her l-little friend? Oh, I kn-know her....."

"Jesus, Pat! D-don't you get it? Mariah and Stephanie were dating!" Alfred snapped, in pain at even saying Mariah's name.

"Alfred, my daughter would never date a girl....she wasn't a gay. Now is really not the time for tryna pull the wool over my eyes!" I frowned.

"Patricia, I am not pulling your leg!! Our daughter was a lesbian......she and Stephanie were dating, and they even had a sexual encounter together. Mariah told me everything.....they were a couple." Alfred stated. There was an awkward, uneasy silence in the room as I tried to fathom what I had just been told.....I couldn't process the idea of Mariah being one of those people.

"Uhm, I-I'm gonna head back to the station now....." Detective Anderson said as he got up from  the sofa. He rushed out of the door, practically running and nearly falling to get out. Alfred and I watched him leave out, then I shook my head as my tears started to fog my eyes again.

"Sh-she wasn't like that.....m-my sweet baby....."

"Yes she was, Patricia.....Mariah was lesbian." Alfred sighed. I continued to cry - somewhat in disgust but mostly in sorrow - then I noticed Mariah's little diary/song book sitting on the coffee table. I picked it up and opened it to a page that read 'So Blessed' in the top margin of the page. I read it and saw that it was a song, since it had chord names above certain words of the stanzas, then I flipped to the back of the page and read it out loud.

"So Blessed - dedicated Stephanie Thalia Borges, my beautiful girlfriend. My precious love for her burns so deeply inside of me....I cannot wait to make her my wife one day, and to have a family with her. Stephanie is the greatest gift that God has given me and I am so blessed to have her as my love.....my first and only love." I read, more tears streaming down my face.

I couldn't believe that my daughter was gay......

~~~~Meanwhile (Stephanie's POV)~~~~

I sat on the roof of my house, a place that I often meditated or relaxed. But that day was different....that day, the roof brought me more anxiety than it did peace. I had just saw the news report....the report that told me that my girlfriend was dead and that her body was dumped on the side of the highway like she was some trash. My girlfriend was dead and there was so many people to blame.....I could've blamed God for taking Mariah so soon, I could've blamed Jennifer or Onika or Demetria or Ariana for killing her. But for some reason, I couldn't bring myself to blame anybody but myself for Mariah's death.....I felt that it was all on me. If I had never dated Jennifer, then Jennifer wouldn't have snapped and Mariah would still be alive.

"Thalia?" I heard. My mom came out and sat next to me on the roof, then she took my hand and rubbed her thumb across the back of it.

"Mãe, i-is this really happening? I-Is Mariah really g-gone?" I asked her.

"Sim, menina.....she is." Mom sadly responded.

"Sh-she didn't deserve this......M-Mariah should still be here!!!" I screamed, sobbing as I did so. My mom pulled me into a hug and kissed the top of my head as I was bawling into her neck, and she gently rubbed my back.

"I-It's all m-my fault sh-she's gone....." I sobbed.

"No, baby....it's not your fault." Mom softly said.

"Th-then how come I f-feel like it is?! How c-come I feel like I-I ruined her l-life by being a part of it?! H-had she not been d-dating me, and h-had I never dated Jennifer, M-Mariah would still be a-alive!!!!!!" I screamed, my sobbing becoming uncontrollable at that point.

"Sh-she was my first t-true love......M-Mariah was my e-everything, a-and she's g-gone forever." I cried.

Why did God have to take her away from me?
