"Where are we going?"

"We?? Sorry, I don't speak French" Ariel says as she unlatches her arm from Makena with a roll of her eyes

Makena sighs but let's go. Then she suddenly make her eyes big and pout her lips, attempting to look cute to Ariel.

She looks like a fugly ass grinch in Ariel's eyes. So Ariel makes a disgusted face at her while thinking 'I can't believe how many times she's tried this shit, has she ever looked in the mirror? Fucking big eyed mother fucker, long back having ass bi—'

"You're not even paying attention to me!!" Ariel is shook from her in mind rant. To be honest, she's been wanting to have some nasty words with Makena for a couple of months now. For the first year of their so called relationship, Ariel was afraid. She could barely look the chick in her eyes, never mind standing up to her.

But these past couple of months Ariel has been, slowly but surely, learning to stand up to Makena. She has to or her life would be a living hell forever.

Think about it. Someone telling you what you can and can't wear, someone telling you how you should speak. Someone telling you when you can go out, if you're allowed to at all, and someone telling you how much you're allowed to eat everyday.

You're bound to break one day.

No one knows when that day is, it can range from later today to twenty years later.

And honestly that's a bit scary to Ariel.

She might have to put up with Makena and her controlling ways for the rest of her life. She can try and try all she wants but it's hard to keep Makena away no matter how much she tries.

A persistent little bitch is what Makena is.

And Ariel is just a young, naive woman that doesn't know what to do in this situation.

Actually she has tried, in the beginning of the relationship, to explain to Makena that she can't control every little thing she does and that she wouldn't tolerate that.

The result of saying that could've been much worse for Ariel. The reason being Makena was not afraid to tell all of Ariel's secrets. The chick ended up putting a letter under Jada's pillow while Ariel wasn't looking.

"You know Ariel has had a crush on you for about ten years now" is what the letter said in big bold letters.

Jada just brushed it off as a joke because why would she ever think it was serious?

It wasn't even Makena 'exposing' Ariel the way she could've. She has text messages of them speaking of Ariel's feelings about Jada. She even has voice recording and has played them to Ariel every time she feels as if she's defying her.

So Ariel considered it as a warning, and it's the exact reason that it took her so long to start standing up for herself again.

But clearly she's starting to not care about the consequences anymore.

"Now, I told you everything I do isn't for the both of us. I need to be able to hang out with my friends alone, and you know they don't like you" Ariel says as she goes to the door to put on her shoes and jacket.

Did I forget to mention that Makena & Ariel live together? Well, they do.

"They gonna have to learn to like me if I'm going to be with you for the rest of our lives"

At that Ariel just tells her that she'll be back sometime 11, grabs her keys and leaves the apartment because what the actual fuck. The rest of who life? Surely not Ariel's.

As she walks down the stairs of the building she thinks about how she could've avoided all of this by simply confessing to Jada years ago. The reaction wouldn't be as bad as it will be now when they were kids. Ariel also wouldn't have been overthinking it the way she is now.
