Mis-Understood (lesbian story)

What Happened

Re-cap: “I couldn’t get to him in time,” I whispered.

“Who Scar?” she asked me. I didn’t want to answer but knew that I shouldn’t keep this from her and I needed to share it with someone.

“My brother Nate,” I replied and more tears fell as I remembered that night, that horrible night.

“What happened Scar?” she asked cautiously, not wanting me to break down again.

“He-he was stuck in the house, I couldn’t get to him in time. I tried to save him, its all my fault,” I whispered, tears falling as sobs passed through my body. “The fire it just got too big. I couldn’t get in in time. Its all my fault.”

Scarlet’s POV

She held on to me as I sobbed into her shoulder, images of that horrible night just flashing through my mind. The heat of the flames as I tried to get inside, his screams of pain as the relentless flames engulfed his small little body. My body crumbling to the floor as they carried him away on a stretcher with a thin white sheet over his body, covering his face.

I’ve tried to hide these thoughts and feelings for so long, keeping them buried deep down but now that they are out in the open I just can’t stop the tears. When I ran out of tears I pulled away, hiding my face as I got up to get some water. Adrienne looked at me, clearly still worried.

“Im fine. I just need some water,” I reassured her but winced as I spoke, my throat felt completely dry and I was getting a really bad headache. 

“I’ll get it for you babe, just rest,” she said then helped me sit down on the bed. Before she left she helped prop me up with some pillows and kissed my cheek softly, whispering in my ear, “I love you.”

“I love you too,” I whispered then closed my eyes as she walked downstairs to get my water. Not long after she returned with a glass of water and two Tylenols, smiling she handed them to me then the water. Taking the pills quickly I gulped down the water and set it down on the table beside my bed, she grabbed my shaking hands then laid down next to me.

“Do you want to tell me what happened?” she asked softly, watching me and waiting for my reaction. 

“Not really but I need to let this out. I have held on to it for so long and it’s killing me,” I whispered the last part, knowing that it was true.

“Scar, what happened to your brother?” she asked hesitantly. “In the fire, how did it happen?”

I closed my eyes tightly, a few tears inched down my cheeks again but I was able to keep most of them back. “We were home alone, just my brothers and I. I was trying to clean up after my mom again because she had had a party the night before, the boys were helping me. Our power had gone out as we were cleaning so I lit a candle to give us some light.”

“The power box was in the back and I knew how to turn it on so I went outside with my brother Jared. Nate had stayed inside to clean. I remember closing the door, swearing that it was unlocked as we went around to the back. We smelt it then, the smoke. By the time we got back to the front it was too late, with all the alcohol inside the flames grew and grew. The door was locked, we couldn’t get in. Nate he didn’t know what to do. He couldn’t get out,” I rushed the words out of my mouth, not wanting to linger on any of the thoughts.

“Is that why you came to live here?” she whispered.

“No, I would have stayed. Jared was still young too and had just lost his brother, I wanted to stay for him but when the cops came they realized how the fire had started. The candle that I lit had fallen over and caught on the alcohol on the floor, they arrested my mother for all of the alcohol and decided my brothers death an accident but I knew that it was my fault. I left because when she was arrested my dad finally was able to win custody over me,” I said bitterly. “Jared needed me and I left him. He went to go live with his grandmother while our mom was in jail then when she got out he lived with her.”

“How- how are they now?” Addy was curious.

“My brother is fine and my mom is supposedly getting better. She is still with her boyfriend and they have a new house, with jobs. They just had a kid, my half-brother, Alex. I don’t talk to her on the phone, I haven’t for almost 3 years. Jared calls but I only talk to him,” I replied. 

She nodded then laid her head down on my shoulder and put her arm around my waist. With her arm around me I started to feel better, finally telling someone about my past has made me feel so much better. Like finally that black cloud that has followed me around has been blown away by the wind.

Adrienne’s POV

When Scar told me what happened to her brother I felt my heartbreak, the pain in her voice was evident and it killed me to know that she was holding this back. I held her close to me, and listened to her heartbeat. I’d never let anything happen to her or anyone hurt her, i’d do anything to keep that look of pure pain off of her beautiful face. 

“Adrienne” she said which pulled me out of my thoughts.

“Yes?” I replied looking at her. 

“Do you want to spend the night? Its already almost 10 and I don’t want you to leave,” she whispered and I felt my heart tug at the loneliness in her voice.

“Of course i’ll stay,” I replied and kissed her cheek. “Just let me text my mom.”

“K.”

Pulling out my phone I sent a quick text to my mom, telling her that I would be spending the night at Scar’s. After she replied with an okay I put my my phone away to see Scar looking through her closet. Tossing me a pair of sweats and a t-shirt, she changed into something similar then laid down under the blankets. Changing into her clothes I was completely aware of her eyes on me, trailing up and down my body, watching my every move.

Smiling I jumped under the blankets and cuddled up to her as she wrapped her arms around me. Kissing my way along her neck I finally found her lips and enjoyed the feeling of her lips moving against mine. Soon our tongues were battling for dominance as she climbed on top of me, my hands tugging at her shirt and along her sides then through her hair. Giving into the kiss I let her take control, running her hands down my sides bringing chills. Her kisses turned rough, as she had complete control, but it was such a turn-on. I loved it. I moaned as she kissed her way down my neck, finding my weak spot she sucked on it softly, earning another moan. 

“Come on! Some people are trying to sleep,” someone yelled from the room next door. 

Scar laughed while I blushed. She quickly kissed my lips then replied, “Shut up Ariah! You act like you have never kept me up at night.”

“Babe thats because you were the one moaning! Now shut up,” Ariah hollered back, immediately shutting us up. Scar looked at me, probably worried that I would be hurt. Sending her a reassuring smile I laid back down, my breathe still a little ragged and my bottom lip somewhat swollen. Flashes of Ariah and Scar together flashed through my mind but I quickly dismissed them when I remembered that Scar was mine and that she loved ME. 

Pulling the blankets back over us Scar laid down and I rested my head on her shoulder. Closing my eyes I heard her soft whispers and felt her fingers slowly combing through my hair, sighing in contempt I moved closer to her and wrapped my arm around her waist. She kissed my forehead softly then whispered, “Goodnight Addy. I love you.”

“Night Scar. I love you too,” I barely managed get out before she fell asleep. I looked up at her face to see her features relaxed, this day was so hard on her. Stirring I looked up to see her eyebrows pulled together, eyes moving beneath her eyelids. Worried that she was having another bad dream I placed my hand against her cheek and ran my thumb across her cheekbone until she calmed down. 

“I love you,” was the last thing I heard before I let the need for sleep take over and closed my eyes for the night.
