Red Snow ~ Trixya

《18》

Strangely, those three years apart felt like nothing as they layed in eachother's arms.

Trixie stared at the door of room 178. It was six in the morning, Trixie knew that Mason was still asleep. She and Katya purposely got up extra early to take her stuff back. She felt nervous, for some reason. Perhaps even guilty. She knew her situation wasn't her fault, but it wasn't Mason's fault either. She felt bad for him, knowing he wasted his time on her for nothing.
"Do you want me to wait outside?"
Katya asked.
Trixie shook her head, taking hold of Katya's hand.
"No, I think we should do this together. I want you in there with me." She said, leaning down to give Katya a quick peck on the lips.
Katya smiled, she gave Trixie's hand an encouraging squeeze, as if to tell her it was going to be okay.
Trixie nodded, taking a deep breath as she brought her hand up to the door.

Knock knock knock

A few seconds later, the sound of rattling keys could be heard from inside the room.
"Trixie? Where were you all night?"
Mason asked, still groggy from waking up.
"Let's go inside, okay? Take a seat." Trixie said, walking past him with Katya right behind her.
"Who's this?" He asked, finally noticing Katya as he sat on the bed.
"This is Katya." Trixie said, not offering a further explanation.
Mason was about to speak when Trixie cut him off.
"Look, I have something kinda big to tell you. So just let me explain, okay? You can ask questions when i'm done." She said.
Mason nodded.
"Remember the accident I was in three years ago? The one that gave me amnesia?" She started.
Mason nodded once again.
"Well my parents told me i've always lived with them in Milwaukee. They supposedly told me about my life there and how great our family bond was, but it was all a lie. Tonight when I went to the pool, Katya was there. She helped me remember everything, it all came back. Mason I haven't lived with my parents for years. I've been living in Boston, running my own diner! I left because Brad was abusive and I couldn't stand living with them anymore. I hope you understand why I can't go back with you. What my parents did was disgusting and I wish you weren't involved but you are and i'm sorry for wasting your time." Trixie said, sparing him the more painful details.
Mason looked at the floor. He didn't really know how to respond. How do you respond to your girlfriend telling you that your relationship of three years was meaningless?
"You're... not joking, are you?" He finally asked.

"No. I'm sorry Mason, I really am." Trixie said. She really did feel bad for the guy.
"And her? How does she fit into all of this?" He asked, pointing at Katya.

"Well, Katya was a big part of my life before the accident. If it wasn't for Brad's threats i'd be living my normal life right now." Trixie said.

"So you were like best friends?" He questioned.

Trixie took another deep breath, knowing that what she was about to say was going to hurt him.

"Well yes. But then it was more than that... Katya is my girlfriend."

Mason raised his brows, looking at Trixie and Katya back and forth.
Until finally, he burst out laughing.
"You got me! I have to admit, for a second there I really believed you! But you being gay? HA! Totally gave it away. Good try though, babe." He Cackled, standing up to give Trixie a kiss.
Trixie however pushed his face away, looking extremely unamused.
"Mason this isn't a joke." She said.
Mason shook his head.

"No... it has be be. Trixie, this isn't fucking funny anymore."

"Good because i'm not joking."

Mason huffed, then averted his attention to Katya.
"You. What the hell did you do to her you dyke?! Did you infect her with your fucking gayness?" He shouted.

"Don't you dare talk to her like that" Trixie fumed before Katya had a chance to answer him.

"And why not? Hm? Why should I be nice to the dyke who manipulated my girlfriend into thinking she's gay?!" He spat.

Trixie rolled her eyes.
"Fine, if you can't behave yourself we'll just leave. Y'know, I really had hope that you of all people would understand... guess I was wrong. I certainly didn't come here to fight a brainless homophobic asshole."
Trixie said. She grabbed her bag and stormed outside with Katya, leaving a very angry looking Mason alone in a motel room.

Once they were out of the room, Katya hugged Trixie tightly.
Even if Trixie didn't have any romantic feelings for the guy, it must've been hard to tell him everything.
"I'm so proud of you, детка. You did the right thing." She said, rubbing circles into Trixie's back. Trixie nodded as she hugged her even tighter, burying her face in Katya's neck.
"Thanks for being there, it must've been so uncomfortable for you." Trixie said.
Katya hugged Trixie tighter.
"Don't worry about me детка, i've dealt with worse. I'm just glad I could be there with you."
She pulled away, looking deeply into Trixie's eyes. Her hands were still on the blonde's waist.
"I'm glad I can be here for you now, too. And i'll always be there when you need me. I don't ever wanna lose you again." Katya said.
She tried to push her feelings to the back of her mind until now, but it was all too much. Truth be told, she was absolutely terrified of losing Trixie again. She wouldn't be able to handle that kind of pain for the second time.
Trixie leaned in to give Katya a kiss.
"You won't lose me again. I love you too much to let that happen." She whispered as they pulled away, leaning her forehead against Katya's. Katya could feel Trixie's breath on her lips. She smiled at her words.
"Thanks, I needed to hear that. I love you too." She said, pulling Trixie in for yet another hug.
"You've gotten soft." Trixie joked. She actually loved seeing Katya all soft and needy.
Katya immediately stepped back with a gasp.
"Russians not get soft, they get hard! Like rock!" She said, exaggerating her Russian accent to sound like her father. Trixie laughed of course, making Katya wonder how the hell she survived 3 years without hearing those bird noises.

They spent the ride home catching up. Trixie told Katya about her parents' lies, her relationship with Mason and how bizarrely wrong everything felt. She finally understood why she was feeling so empty the whole time. Her lost memories were a lot, obviously, but she was certain that Katya was the main reason behind the constant feeling of emptiness. Well, more like the absence of Katya in her life. During the relatively short amount of time they'd spent together before the accident, Trixie had gotten so used to have the Russian around. So used that apparently even after forgetting about her existence, Trixie still managed to subconsciously miss her.

Katya of course told her about how all of Trixie's friends missed her terribly and how they wanted Katya to take over the diner until she came back.
She told Trixie how useless she felt, not being able to save her the whole time she was gone. However, she never gave up hope that eventually they'd meet again one way or another.

Talking about everything was an emotional rollercoaster for both girls. Three years worth of stories and emotions spilt into an eight hour drive wasn't easy.
What Trixie's family did to her was cruel indeed, but all that matters is that she was finally reunited with her beloved Katya.
That's all that ever mattered.

If this was a fairy tail, this would be the part where the author writes;

And they lived happily ever after

But this is life. Happiness isn't something you can just have forever.
That's why, whenever you're happy, you must treasure every moment of it. Both Trixie and Katya knew that as they parked behind the Mattel diner, listening to soft Russian music as they cuddled in the back seat. They'll treasure every single happy moment they have from now on.
