Fallen - LGBT Love Story

Part 11 - Liz's POV

Once we enter Cora's house we see a note from her mom, and I see a note from her mom, with a nickname "CareBear"

I can't help but smile at it, I've never gotten a nickname from my parents, I'm the middle they like my younger sister better. She gets good grades, and tied her own shoes before she was 9

I snapped out of my thoughts after being nudged by Cora, she looks red, I guess she saw me smiling at it and got embarrassed

She quickly gives me a tour of her house and takes me to her room

We sit on her bed awkwardly, she stutters out

"I.. I think I might maybe sorta have a small maybe not small crush on you?"

"I don't even know how tho, you're a dick, or atleast you were a dick, I don't know, it's just ugh." She adds

I wrap my arms around her neck and hug her close

"I don't get why I feel like that either, and god my parents would kill me if they knew, but hey what's new?" I say softly

"Yeah" she says with a soft chuckle

And we sit there for a few minutes just hugging, a long deep hug I didn't know I needed. I pull back and grab her face debating on doing what I'm thinking about doing

Yet my thoughts are interrupted as we hear Cora's mom honk the horn as a sign to help with groceries

She gestures for me to follow her, we walk down the stairs, slowly I start to fall behind. We reach the front door, Cora opens it for her mom who already carrying more than she should

"Here let me help" I say as Cora walks out to help with the rest

"Oh thank you darling" she says as I grab a few bags

"How do you know Cora?" She asks with a sweet smile

"Oh uh just uh" I don't even know what to say. Luckily Cora walks in "we have a bunch of classes together" she says. Which was a lie, we actually only have one class together

"Oh cute, so are you too you know? Girlfriends?" The last word echoes through the house

Cora just stares her with the blankets expression and walks off to put bags away, and I feel myself getting red

After we've put bags away, we say goodbye to her mom and head back upstairs

I enter her room after her, shutting the door, I relieve a heavy sigh

"You're mom is sweet, but where's your dad?" I ask. Cora looks at the ground playing with her fingers "oh well uh one day he just kind of, left, it's no big deal though!" She tries saying with a cheery-tone

I try to get off that topic of conversation and accidentally blurt out "will you be my girlfriend" I saw it so fast I dont know how Cora even understood it, but she did.

Silence fills the room

"Fuck I'm sorry I shoul-" I try saying before Cora cuts me off

"This is a joke isn't it? I become vulnerable and you see it as an opportunity to get me good one last time. Well I'm not falling for it get the fuck out of my house." She says jumping up and pointing to her door

I'm completely baffled, I furrow my brows in confusion, the energy in the room has completely shifted it's almost suffocating looking at her one last time "That isn't what was happening" I mutter "I swear"

"get out." She says pointing again

I walk out of her room and down the stairs to see her mom in the kitchen

"Aw leaving so soon darling?" She asks

The second those words leave her mouth my heart fills with warmth, I hope Cora treats her right, this women deserves all the love in the world

"Yeah, things just aren't going as I hoped, have a great day maybe I'll see you soon" I saw waving as I exit the warm house to be faced by the bitter cold winter winds

As I step out to the street I look up to see Cora's window, only to be met with an empty room minus the girl on the bed.

God damn it, what made her think I was faking it? I think walking home. God damn it's cold.

"COULDVE ATLEAST OFFERED ME THE GUEST BED FOR THE NIGHT OR A RIDE HOME FUCKING BITCH" I yell into the night sky

I can't bring myself to go home, so I head to my "friends" house, only to see all of them hanging out without me laughing and having a good time

So instead of facing my parents as to why I'm outside in this ungodly weather, I climb through my window, and pass out
