Connected (GirlxGirl)

10. Georgia

I lay in my bed tossing and turning. It's only been a day since Darcy left and it felt as if I was dying. I haven't slept at all. My stomach hurt and the sorrow I felt was too much to bare. Why was she so sad? Unable to take it anymore I sit up in bed.

"Mom!" I call my mom and fall back in the bed. I lay there watching the door waiting for her to come. Once she entered my room I watched as she walked around the bed towards me. I loved my mom she was the best person in the world. For some reason I felt like she knew what I was going threw. She reached over grabbing my hand. I had to tell her about my true feeling towards Darcy. I had to tell her that I needed her in my life. I wondered why they didn't question me about the argument me and Darcy had before she stormed out. Maybe they figured that I would tell them once I was ready. Well if that was the reason then I was ready to tell them. I needed to find Darcy. I needed her. I wanted her. I loved her.

I tried to fight the tears back at that realization but failed.

"What's wrong sweetie?"

"I shouldn't have gotten mad about the money mom. I was stupid I know. I was scared. I was trying to push her away because I didn't want you guys to know..."

"Know what sweetie...?" She asked as she continued to rub the back of my hand. More tears spilled out. I didn't want them to disown me. What would I do without them? But my love for Darcy was stronger then them banning me from there life.

"Mom I love Darcy." To my surprise she smiled.

"Well I kind of figured that sweetie. You two grew very close lately huh?" I nodded my head. I had to tell her everything. I felt she wasn't getting what I was saying.

"I don't love her just as a friend mom. I'm in love with her. Mom, I'm gay." I held my breath as I waited for her response. I expected some form of anger but instead her smile grew wider.

"I know sweetie. I mean I was definitely one hundred percent sure when I witnessed the argument the other night. I am still happy that you told me though."

"Your not mad?"

"Why would I be? Darcy is a wonderful person. She is your protector..." We both looked with the sound of someone clearing there throat. It was my dad.

"Let them figure it out." He said.

"Figure what out?" I ask confused. My mom just nod her head going over to my father. They kissed each other like they had just fell in love with each other. They were still crazy about each other. And I loved that and wanted that for myself.

"How about we go find Darcy." My father said and everything was forgotten. I was out of my bed in lightening speed. They chuckled.

"Right now?"

"Yes. Put some sneakers on and a coat and meet us downstairs."

"Okay." I rush and put on my sneakers and a coat and was downstairs in less then a minute. "Ready."

It was pouring hard outside but nothing could keep me from her at this point. God I hoped she forgave me.

It took us almost an hour to get there because of the rain. As we got closer the more anxious I became but this since of worry overwhelmed me.

"Something is wrong?" I say just before her apartment came into view. There was a huge tree in the middle of her apartment. When did this happen? Where was she? I opened the car door before my father came to an complete stop. Oh my God was she in there?

"Georgia!" I stop at the sound of my father's voice.

"She's not here."

"How do you know?"
