MEANT TO BE 3 (Forever's Not Enough - GirlxGirl)

THE CLASH

MUSIC:  People Alone

     " Good morning! Breakfast is ready!  I cooked some fried rice  and corned beef... How would you like your eggs?" Jigs pulled a chair as soon  as she saw Angel  came out from her room. She was still yawning and was stretching  her arms. " Thank you, Mamu... I'd  like my eggs over easy please. Wow... it smells good here.  " She said, finally sitting on  her chair. She reached for a glass and poured some orange  juice. She looked around... " Where's  Ma?"

     "She got up early this morning  and was telling me she was craving  for donuts, so she went out to buy some.  But I wonder what's  taking her so long? She's  supposed to join us for breakfast. " Jigs said. She grabbed her phone  and was calling Chix ... No answer.  She sent her  a text message... No reply. Jigs let out a sigh. " Your Mama's  not answering my call. Maybe  you should call her. " She told Angel. 

     " She's  not answering... Maybe  she's  driving that's why..." says Angel, after she tried calling her Mama twice. Jigs nodded.  " Okay... let's  eat, I'm  hungry. Anyway, she won't  mind if we're  gonna start without her.  We'll  just have a donut bonding time with her later  when she arrives.  " she said.

     While she was eating, Angel texted  Sunny a few times, but then  Sunny wasn't  replying.  " Maybe she's  still sleeping... I'll  text her a little later. " she told herself.  Then she sent her Mama a message..." Ma? Where are you? We're  almost finished with breakfast, and we're  already drooling for the donuts. " Angel  smiled. Then  her mood suddenly changed after remembering  what happened  yesterday. She felt the tension again...

     " Are  you okay?" Jigs lightly touched Angel's  shoulder the minute she saw her stopped eating  and was staring at nowhere.

    " Huh? Yes, Mamu. I'm  okay... Let's  eat..." says Angel.

     Chix  was staring at her phone  on the passenger seat.  Beside it was a box of donuts she just bought a while ago. She was  aware of all the calls and texts  from  Jigs and Angel, but for some reason, She chose not to answer at the moment. Well, it's  not  to ignore  them, but right  now  she's  thinking  of doing something  really important  before heading home. 

     Chix took a deep breath... She's  not driving, actually... But she's  gripping tightly on the steering wheel... Her car is parked  few houses away  from Aom and Tina's  place. She's  tight lipped. A lot of things are running in her mind right now... " Am I gonna do it, or not? Will it help or will it just make matters  worst? What are  they gonna think of me after? Should I still  care about that?" These questions kept on bugging her for the last fifteen  minutes while she was looking at the Jitaleela residence  from afar...

     Few minutes  earlier...

    
     " Good morning..." Tina  hugged Aom from behind and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Aom was busy brewing  some coffee for breakfast. " Good morning..." She answered, reaching  back to touch Tina's  face. That  was quick... It was obvious she's  still giving her wife  the cold shoulder. Just like last night...she was so stiff not hugging Tina back while sleeping.  She really feels so bad treating Tina this  way  but she's  full of pride  right now, And she can't  pretend  that  everything  is okay.
