Are You There, Somewhere? (girlxgirl) [ON HIATUS]

Chapter 9: It's Time To Come Out, Annabelle

Forget what I said in the previous A/N (which I deleted) I'm just gonna finish this story as soon as possible. Enjoy reading!

Annabelle's POV:

I had 5 classes today and it went horrible. But thanks to Lana, I was happy again. She brought me to the park and we laid on the grass while looking at the clouds. I couldn't have been more happier with anyone else.

That night, Lana drove me back home and it took me about 8 minutes to get out of the car due to hot make out session with Lana. Eventually she let me go and I jumped out of the car as fast as I could before she could grab my butt. As she usually did.

I picked up the mails before climbing the stairs to my apartment. And wasn't surprised to see Kim burying her face deep in a book and waiting for me like she was my mother or something.

"Seriously Kim, you don't have to wait for me." I threw the mails on the table in front of her and headed to the kitchen for a glass of apple juice.

"Well, you know I can't help it but worry anyway. It's really late."

"What are you so worried about? I just went out with Lana. Not like I have anyone else to hang out with late at night. Or ever."

She chuckled. "Yeah, I know. But still." She picked up the mails and went through them one by one.

"Oh you know what we did today? We had a great time at the park today. But before that, we were at the library and we saw this weird guy that wears something like a be-

My sentence was cut off by Kim's loud gasp.

"What. What is it??" Shit, I hope it was nothing bad.

"I got accepted." Kim whispered almost only to herself. Perhaps she was.

"Got accepted to what, Kim?"

Kim didn't replied. She just looked at me. Her eyes are beginning to water. Her face was expressionless. I couldn't tell what exactly was she feeling. She had tears but what's the bad news? She got accepted to whatever she got accepted in. That shouldn't sound bad.

"Oxford." She broke the gaze and stared to the floor.

"Wha..at.?"

Kim didn't reply. She was looking at everywhere except me. She almost seemed guilty. But her eyes were glazed of excitement.

"You just said Oxford? You mean The Oxford??" No way.

"Uh well. Yeah. I uh, I got accepted." She smiled and waved the mail she got from the university.

"I didn't know you were applying." I said with a broken heart. Why didn't she told me?

Kim sighed. "I'm sorry Anna. I was just- I really thought I wouldn't get accepted. But I thought I'd just give it a try anyway. I didn't think I would actually get accepted."

"That means you're going to England." I stated.

"That means I'm going to England." She repeated my sentence. "Wait, that means I'm going to England. Wow. England. This is actually pretty exciting." Kim suddenly started to cheered up.

"Yes but that also means you're leaving me!" I couldn't help but lashed out. "How the hell am I suppose to live alone here?? In fact, I can't! I can't live alone without a roommate!"

"You were suppose to stay here. With me. You were suppose to take care of me. You can't leave." I continued. This can't be. I'm over-reacting. But she can't leave.

"Listen Anna, please calm down. This is Oxford we're talking about. Its my dream to study in Oxford, you know that."

"But who will I stay with? Mom and Dad would never let me stay alone." Tears started to fall down to my cheeks at this point. This is so heart breaking.

"Look. Don't worry. I'll talk to your parents. I'll help them find a new roommate for you."

"But I don't want a new roommate. I want you!" I sobbed. I couldn't held it in.

"How about Lana? I'm sure she'd be more than happy to stay with you."

"But Mom and Dad doesn't know her. I'm afraid if they couldn't trust her."

"Well then let's introduce her to them. We'll never know if we never try."

"Then I'll have to come out to my parents as well." I looked down. Oh God this is getting more and more complicated.

"Maybe it's time. To let fate decide. I think it's time they know the truth, Anna."

"I can't. They'll kill me."

"You've always been the perfect daughter to them. You did what you're told and everything. No, they're not going to kill you."

"No. No I can't. I can't."

"So you're going to go on with the relationship behind their back, then? Anna, your parents have been nothing but kind to you. They give you all their best. You can't do this to them. They're your family."

"But what if they can't accept me?"

"They might be pretty shocked at first, I'm sure. But I know they'll eventually accept you for who you are. Plus, you have Lana. The person who makes your life brighter or whatever. They can't have the heart to take you away from her."

"But.." I sighed. "This is a really big move."

"If you don't do this now, then when? Until when are you going to keep on hiding. Until when can you even hide it from your parents. If you tell them now, at least you'll get the answer to feed the 'what ifs' that's been going around your head for years.. Are you going to do it?"

"You're really going to England?"

"Pretty sure I am. Gotta check some stuff first like the school fees and all that."

I took a deep breath. "Then okay. I'll come out." God, I have no idea what to do.
