The Bet (Lesbian Story)

Epilogue

A/N1: READ!!! Well, since this is the Epilogue, and I finished writing it already, I figured, why wait until the weekend? I'm just dying to finish this already!
And also, I had to make a slight change, I just realized that Harvard's school of veterinary doesn't exist anymore... Therefore Amy is going to Harvard for medicine instead of vet med. I also edited the previous chapters to the change. Sorry about the mistake but it won't change much on the actual storyline, just a small detail lol

The chilling air-conditioned air of the airport hit her as soon as she crossed the sliding door that led to the departures area. But at the moment the cold air was the last thing on her mind. No, there was so much more for her to worry about. She was excited, she couldn't deny it. But there was also a sizeable part of her that was scared. She'd be on her own, alone in a new city, leaving everything she always knew behind.

She took a deep breath as her gaze fell upon the check-in line, her heart beating faster with every second that passed. But she did her best to remain calm. She needed to be strong, she couldn't give up now.

"Why don't you three go eat something while I do the check in? It's mostly boring paperwork anyway, I wouldn't want to put you through that." She joked lightly, looking back at Manuel and his parents. They promptly nodded, saying that they would be waiting on the airport café.

Amy made her way to the line, with her ticket and luggage in hand. She still felt somewhat numb, it all still felt too surreal. Like all of this was just something out of the imagination of some young Brazilian woman who didn't have enough to do. But she pushed herself further nonetheless.

"Let me guess, 10:15 to Boston?" She heard from the check in line. She looked up, surprised to see her doctor, Diana, looking down at her with a warm smile on her face.

"Doctor Abbott, what a surprise! And yes actually, how did you know?" She answered, blushing slightly and trying to play it cool.

She had in fact bailed on her last few sessions with the doctor and honestly, she didn't think she would ever see her again. But then again, fate always had a thing for fucking up with her, didn't it? Diana smiled holding up her ticket, which she promptly saw had the same flight number as hers, and answering her question.

"I would say so, after you failed to come to your last few sessions I thought you had given up on your treatment. Although looking at you now, I have to say you look a lot better." Diana answered, her eyes trailing down her body quickly before she locked eyes with her former patient again.

"Yeah, about that... I had some stuff to take care of." Amy answered lamely. How would she be able to explain that the reason she hadn't gotten out of the house for basically anything besides her physiotherapy sessions, which she was dragged into by Manuel, was because she was trying to mend her broken heart? That sounded absolutely pathetic, mostly because it was.

"So, mind if I ask what are you doing here?" Diana asked curiously, she didn't think she would ever see Amy again, but now that she was right there in front of her, she couldn't help but want to carry on a conversation.

"Actually, I am moving to Cambridge. I was accepted into Harvard's Medical School." She answered blushing even more, that was one of the things Diana liked most about her. How shy she was, it just made her want to take the girl in her arms and don't let go. Even though she knew it was wrong, and quite frankly, against the law seeing as she was still a minor.

"Harvard? Oh my God Amy, that's great!" Diana beamed, proud of the young girl in front of her.

She knew that Amy was a smart girl, learning that she had been accepted into one of the best universities in the country didn't exactly came as a surprise for her. What really did surprise her, was the fact that fate once again, brought their paths together.
