Connected (GirlxGirl)

13. Ms. Garrison

"Maybe we should tell them that they are meant to be together." Ms. Garrison said as she got ready for bed. She couldn't bear seeing her daughter in any more pain. And poor Darcy. She was still so young and been threw so much.

"Now honey you know we can't do that. We both know its destin for them to be together we just have to allow them to go threw the storm to get there. We can not interfere." Ms. Garrison flopped on the bed as she sighed.

"I know but do you not feel the pain? Sometimes I wish that I didnt have this gift. The pain I feel sometimes..."

"If you felt there pain then there connection is stronger than expected. We're only supposed to feel our true partner feelings."

"When they had that argument downstairs...oh my God. The pain I felt from Darcy..." She shook her head at the remembrance. "She was so hurt. I had to go to her to try to comfort her. Her need and want was like no other. I've never felt anything like it before. Why do you think that is? How could I had felt her pain but no one else besides yours of course."

"I have no idea honey. Everything will be alright in the end."

"I just cant stop thinking about Darcy. Why did I feel a pull towards her? You know... when she left to go home and she was alone and crying I felt that." Mr. Garrison sat up in bed facing his wife.

"You did?"

"Yes. I knew where she was just like Georgia did. I dont know how to explain it honey."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I don't know. I didnt know how to take it all in. It was confusing to me."

"What does this mean?"

"I dont know."

"I mean... do you have feelings for her?" She could hear the pain in his voice.

"Dear God no." She said reassuringly. "Its more like protection mode. Like I just needed to be there for her. But I faught the feeling off because this is our daughter position. It felt..." she paused trying to find the right words.

"Felt like what?" He asked curiously.

"Like motherly to her. Like she was my own child in pain. Like she needed me but I didn't and still dont know how to process this."

"Is this why you stay at the hospital while Georgia is at school?"

"Yes it is? It's also why I asked if it was alright of she stayed here? It's just an overwhelming feeling of her needing me and me having to protect her as best I could. I cant explain this..."

"I know what it is." Her husband said.

"What?"

"She lost her family. Her mother. Maybe you're so drawn to her because you're the next best thing to a mother that she has."

"You might be right." Ms. Garrison said allowing it all to click in her head. The need to help her. The need to make sure she was okay. Allowing her near her daughter without hesitation. Not that Darcy was a bad person but she never questioned her well being. Not once. That was strange to her but now she understood it. Darcy not only needed her daughter but she needed her also. As a mother figure. As a confidant. And now that she knew what was going on with her she was determined to make sure Darcy felt as welcomed as possible.

I feel I'm going to have to do some editing to this story. But for now I hope you guys enjoy.
