CHAPTER SEVEN

What Happened? (The Morning After)

"September 12th 1989

Dear Diary,

Yesterday I found something out that I don't think I was supposed to know. It all just happened, Heather almost completely broke down while we were having sex, it was unexpected so I tried my best to comfort her. She's okay now, currently sleeping in my bed. Before she fell asleep she told me a little bit about her past, I can't help but feel bad for her."

_

   Heather let out a small sigh as she turned around to face Veronica, "sorry about earlier... some past memories surfaced and I-"

   A hand rested on her cheek, "it's alright, I'm here, I'm not going to let anything happen to you okay?" Veronica's whispered words sent tears surfacing.

   Heather nodded, smiling.

   "When I was younger," she started, "I grew up liking this one girl... the crush lasted from kindergarten to first grade, realizing I shouldn't let myself grow attached to someone I can't love, someone my parents would scold me for liking. At the age of 10 my dad started..." Heather stopped, a small sob letting loose, "it started out as him coming into my room standing over me, and my bed, then into him actually crawling into my bed and..." She changed topic, "then a few years later, Freshman year, after ignoring everything and everyone who asked me out, feelings resurfaced. As saw her again, in my classes, my lunch period... and my parents never knew, only Heather and Heather new about this girl." She let out a small teary laugh, "bet you can't guess who it was."

   Veronica just starred in awe, listening and going over every word before answering, "I doubt it was me, so many other girls are way more good looking than me, plus you're like the most beautiful person I've ever seen"

   Heather laughed lightly before sniffling, "for such a smart girl, you couldn't be anymore wrong."

   Confused Veronica cocked a brow. The only answer she got was a small peck on the lips.

_

   For a while they laid there looking at each other, smiling, it wasn't awkward either. Veronica had gotten the hint on who the "girl" was, it being her all along.

   Heather was now asleep, her breathing slow and calm without choked sobs. While she could Veronica got up putting on a long baggy shirt and took out her journal, writing what she could before the other woke up. Stopping midway she looked up, smiling as she watched Heather sleep soundly, the girl even had a huge smile on her face.

   I wonder what she's dreaming about...

   She just giggled to herself and went back to writing. To Veronica it was pretty surprising someone like Heather Chandler would even like her at all none the less since kindergarten. Not that Veronica thought she was unattractive or undesirable, no, she's been asked out many time before, albeit not as much as Heather but still a few. In example, there was that one guy, Jason Dean, or JD as he said he liked to be called. The constant flirting, he never seemed to get a clue that she wasn't interested. Yeah he was cute but a little too edgy for her. Besides, she just wanted to save a relationship for whoever her soulmate ended up being. That was Heather Chandler. Heather Chandler, Veronica Sawyer's girlfriend. That has a nice ring to it. She saved her future for her soulmate, but she never expected the person she would truly love to be Heather Chandler of all people. In the end though, it was nice.

   Maybe someday her and Heather could come out together, change the school around and make it beautiful, a place to feel safe and not worry about who you're with, soulmates or not.

   No, she couldn't do that... Veronica couldn't do that because she knew what everyone would say, she knew Heather's parents wouldn't take it well at all. She knew her mom wouldn't accept it going by how she reacted to the call from school. She didn't want Heather, her Heather, to go though anything her Father might have in-store for her, despite them being away most of the time, she couldn't risk it. Just that alone gives her the reason why she can't let anyone besides the two other Heathers know about them, someone would tell the school staff and it would get back to both families.

   With a small sigh Veronica got back up, pulling out another shirt for Heather if she happened to wake up earlier than her, and crawled back into bed before turning off the light on the night stand. She pulled the covers over the two of them, and wow for being known as a cold hearted bitch, Heather sure was warm. Like that perfect distance from a bon-fire kind of warm. The kind of warm that just made you wanna snuggle closer, so she did. Beginning to fall asleep, Veronica smiled, it'll all be okay tomorrow.

_

   Waking up, Veronica yawned, holding on tighter to Heather before pushing up to rest on her left elbow, leaning over to the others ear, "mornin' babe."

   The other just groaned in response, she's never been a morning person.

   "Come on Heather you've been asleep since like.... eight in the evening or something, it's almost twelve o'clock."

   No response.

   If Veronica couldn't wake her up with just words, maybe something a little more will get her up. So she settled for moving Heather's hair from her shoulder to lean down and kiss and nip at her neck, this caused Heather to finally move and turn to face her; pulling her in for a kiss. Veronica felt her smile into the kiss before pulling away.

   "What you gonna try and fuck me out of bed?" She asked with a laugh.

   "Nope, just wanted to get your attention. now," Veronica sat up and took Heather's hand pulling her lightly, "Come on get up, we have to get to school."

   She groaned in response, "Fine." Heather got up and off the bed, "guess we should."

   With a peck on the cheek Veronica began getting dressed, looking over to Heather who just watched.

   "Wait, do you need something to wear? Um... I can see if I have anything red in here." Veronica began searching through her shirts, the only red clothing item she owned was a large t-shirt.

   "This is all I got."

   "Fuck red for today, I can't wear what I wore yesterday, and I am not going to school in that." Heather walked over to the closet, and skimmed over her options. "Ill go with this outfit then" She had settled for a plaid purple skirt and a solid purple overcoat for color, the rest being a white button up shirt, tights and knee high socks. Last but not least being her brooch, the only hint of red out of the whole thing. She looked stunning. Veronica couldn't even take her eyes off of her, purple looked really good on Heather.

   "Don't know about the color but, I think this should be alright, what you think babe?"

   "Looks great," Veronica swallowed, the blush heating up her face more and more by the second. "You should wear that color more often."

   Shit. I shouldn't have said that.

   Heather just smirked and left with a wink out the the door. "Come on Ronnie we don't have all morning~"

   So she followed, without a word, just put on her bag, took Heather's hand and followed, still thinking about how great Heather looked in a color so close to hers, but still so close to the original.

   Red and Blue, what an interesting combination.
