Truths Unfold

College Expierience (Year 1 & 2)

~ These next two chapters you will go through Lena & Stef's college experiences. This chapter will be their first two years in college. Starting with Stef & then its going to be Lena's. Be prepared for some possible new love interest, new challenges, and other struggles the two women face. These next two chapter will be a bit longer than the others. I usually try to go for 1000+ words in my chapters, but these might end up being 2000+ words.~

Stef:

1 month in college:

I'm finding it more and more difficult to get in contact with Lena.

With the different time zones, our schedules usually don't allow us any time to communicate. My classes aren't hard at all.

This is way better than high school. I miss Roxy & Lena. But, I call my mom and siblings every other night so that is making this trip to Connecticut a little easier.

I have gone on a few adventures to explore the cities.

I have actually been asked out by a woman named Tess, & a man named Mike.

Now Mike was a easy rejection considering I am a lesbian.

With Tess it was a little harder because she reminded me so much of Lena. But, I politely declined explaining to her I just got out of a serious relationship and I wasn't ready to get serious with anyone just yet.

3 Months into College:

I am doing quite well in my classes. I already finished one class early so that put extra space in my schedule.

I found a really good coffee shop near Yale and it's very good for when I want to study.

I have had a few anxiety attacks since I have been here, I tried calling Lena but she hardly ever answers and when she does she doesn't talk for long and never looks at me.

I really miss her, & I am sure she misses me too. But, I feel like she is drifting away. And this is getting really difficult.

Being away from her. Especially when all around campus there are things that remind me of her. Roses, the color red, the smell of peppermint, cinnamon, any song by the Divinyls, snow cones, or anytime I turn my phone on.

It really sucks not being with her, even if this is the best thing for us.

6 Months into college:

Me & Lena have officially lost contact. Which honestly sucks because I still miss her.

I have the picture of us from graduation as my lock screen & the one from prom as my home screen.

I will never give up on her. She is the love of my life. And I am not going down without a fight.

I text Dana every day and she usually answers

Hey Dana. How's Lena doing?

She's trying her hardest. I think she is getting settled finally.

Good.

Is she still avoiding you?

Yeah, but it's okay. Well, not really. But, as long as she is doing good.

I give her your messages every time we talk.

Well can you send her another one for me?

Go ahead.

Tell her that I miss her. I miss my best friend who could make me laugh at any given moment. If she could at least write me a letter, or a text telling me she is okay. That would make my day.
