Lean on Me

*Lena*

sunday. 13:00

Leaving Arizona was a really hard thing to do. Of course I kissed her goodbye but I wish I could have spent more time with her on Saturday. When I drove back to the dorm of course the first song that came on was "Don't Go Breaking My Heart." I'm pretty sure anytime I get into the car that song comes on.

Unlocking the door I was hit with a huge wave of confidence. I was gonna ask Stef to go as my "date". Sure it wasn't actually a date, maybe I wanted it to be though.

"Lena, I hope this isn't weird but Mike said he isn't going so will you be like my date tonight?" Stef asked out of nowhere.

"I'd love to but your asking out skills need a lot of work, what are you gonna wear?" I asked throwing my keys on the table.

"Good question, it's not like I'm going to impress anyone."

I went to sick down on her bed with her.

"I hope you don't mind, but I invited Lexie and Maggie over so they will be here in about 30 minutes, how's Arizona?"

I really hoped that I could just be here with Stef until the party.

"She's going back to Italy for the break, I kinda just left her."

"How did it go?"

I thought about it for a moment. When I was at the airport I went to hug and kiss her goodbye and I started to cry when she left, I realized I was coming home to sleep and I immediately stopped crying. It scared me to think I actually had feelings for her.

"It was ok."

"Come here." She said pulling me into a hug. Why was she suddenly hugging me? She probably took what I said in a completely different way. "Tonight can we a girls night, just the four of us and then we can go to the party. Sound good?"

Then Maggie and Lexie came through the door.

*Stef*

It broke my heart to see that my bestfriend potentially could've gotten broken up with. By left what did she really mean? Did she break up with Arizona leave or did she leave her like leave her so Arizona could go to Italy. Whichever one it was I wanted to make sure I was there for her no matter what.

"Hello my babies." Lexie exclaims.

"What's everyone wearing tonight? I have 6 outfits I'm pretty sure we are in the same size, Lena might be a bit more curvy." Maggie explains.

"I'm taking that as a compliment." Lena said flipping her hair like she was in a movie. This woman is going to drive me insane.

We talked for about an hour until it was actually time to look did outfits. Lena was in her closet choosing between which outfits to wear.

"Stef, red dress or black dress?"

"The black dress is shorter but tighter but the red dress matches your skin better."

"So which one?" She asks impatiently.

"Black." I blurted out.

Once Lena picked out her outfit Maggie came and sat down on the bed with me.

"Have you told Mike yet?" She asks.

"Told him what?"

"That you're in love with your bestfriend." She simply says like it's nothing.

"I'm not in love with her, we just have a close bond."

"An unbreakable one at that."

"Maggie, I do not like her and she just I think broke up with Arizona so I'm trying to be her supportive bestfriend right now."

She just shrugged. I didn't like Lena. I just find her attractive, think she has an amazing body, could listen to her talk and laugh for hours, and would stare at her smile for ages. Lena is the perfect package but she's not for me.

If I really like her I would've told her by now right?

Lena and Lexie came and they both sat down on Lena's bed. Then I got a call from nobody other than Mike.

"Hello?" I put the phone on speaker.

"Stef I need you." He slurred his words.

"Mike, it's not even 3 yet, how are you drunk?"

"I don't know."

"What did you call me for?" I asked impatiently.

"I just told you, I need you so why don't you come over." Even his laugh sounded slurred.

"Mike I'm with my friends right now I can't just leave them."

"So your girlfriend is there?"

"If you're talking about Lena, she's not my girlfriend and she never will be." Even though I really wanted her to be, it could never happen.

"Two can play that game." Was all he said before he hung up on me.

I forgot I had the phone on speaker when I looked up and saw the faces or sadness, rage, concern, and guilt.

"Stef why didn't you say anything?" Lexie asked.

"There's nothing to talk about."

"You are clearing in a controlling relationship that you can't seem to get out of." Maggie said.

Lena wasn't talking, she looked almost guilty. Her eyes met mine and neither of us knew what to say.

"Do you smell that?" Maggie asks.

"Smell what?" Lexie replies.

"The sexual tension between those two."

What did Lena feel guilty about, I've known her too long to know how she feels without her even talking.

"He calls me your girlfriend?" Her voice was low.

"Well he doesn't mean it."

"When are you going to leave him?"

All eyes were on me as I slowly sinked to the floor. When was I going to leave him? Was I really in a controlling relationship. He's only hit me once or twice. Maybe I'm too stubborn to leave him. Maybe it's someone who's stopping me from leaving him.
