"Audrey! Audrey! Audr-" My yelling for Audrey was cut short when I heard "Audrey, we can't." I turned to peek around the corner of the wall.
 
Standing there was Emma and Audrey, staring at each other. "Em, it's just to see." Emma sighed and looked at Audrey. "Fine." And then Audrey pulled Emma's lips to hers, crushing them together. I felt sick, watching the girl I loved kissing her "best friend". I ran away as fast as I could, I knew I was gonna vomit.

Then, I bumped into Noah.

"Hey, Ella, you alright?" He asked, coming closer to me. I looked for a garbage bin and ran towards it, not reaching it in time. I hurled on the floor, my mouth tasting like copper. I looked up as the bell began to ring. And suddenly, I was no longer the weird lesbian dating Audrey Jensen. I was now Ella Fitzgerald.

The girl who threw up blood in the middle of the hallway.

......

  "Honey! Some ones at the door for you!" Mom called. "Tell them to come up!" I replied. I heard footsteps and immediately knew they were Audrey's black military boots. She opened the door and ran to me, hugging me tightly. I didn't want to be anywhere near her, I didn't want to see her, think about her, talk about her, nothing.

She pulled away and kissed me. I pushed her away softly and laid on my bed. "Hey, you okay?" She asked, laying with me. "Yeah, I'm fine." She kissed my head as our phones dinged. I grabbed my and opened the new video. It was on YouTube. It had over fifty million views. I pressed play, and immediately regretted it.

Audrey and Emma, in the middle of the hallway, kissing. Audrey looked shocked, then turned to look at me. I glared sadly at her and she pushed her hands through her hair. "I-i . . ." I grabbed her face in my hands and forced her to look at me. "Audrey," I played with her black hair. "I already saw." I whispered. She closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath. "You already saw. Fuck. You already saw."

She clenched her jaw. "You and Emma, huh?" I laughed. I sounded so bitter and sad. "No, no, no, no, no," Audrey grabbed my face now, since my hands fell off her face and I was looking at my wooden floors. "You and me. Emma's not in the picture, Ella. I promise." I sucked in a breath and threw my hands up, slapping them on the sides of my thighs. "You know Audrey, it's getting really hard to believe that right now."

I began pacing.

"First we get together and there's this weird stalker man texting my phone! Then, Gina, your ex, calls and says she wants you back. You say no. But, but, that's not even the end! You get weird fucking messages from people and won't tell me who the hell it is! Now your kissing Emma? Is this a set up, Audrey?! Is this a joke to you?!" I scream the last part. Tears were coming out of my eyes, but I didn't give a fuck. "I loved you Audrey, I love you." I cried, falling on my bed.

She ran up to me and hugged me. "Its only us. This is no joke, I love you." She whispered in my ear, kissing my head again and again. "Audrey!" My mom called. "Yes, Mrs. Fitzgerald?" Audrey called back. "Your dad needs to know if your staying over!" "Yeah, I am!"

Audrey looks down at me and kisses me softly. Her lips, soft like fur. We both need to pull away for breath, but we didn't. We just kissed, and kissed, and kissed, went up for air for a minute, kissed, kissed, kissed, went up for air for a minute, repeat.

"Lights out, girls!" I turned off my lamp and curled up into a little ball, my head laying on the top of Audrey's collarbone. She kissed my head once again and the night was filled with silent 'I love you''s and beautiful dreams.

......

"Ella, babe, hon, come on! We have to go to my house real quick." I groaned. "Carry me . . ." I whispered. Audrey sighed and picked me up bridal style, carrying me downstairs and out the door, into her truck. I fell asleep in the passenger seat as soon as I hit it.
