(Lerena's POV)
Glinda is very depressed and self-medicating all because Highmuster and I couldn’t accept that she is in love with Elphaba. I am not sure what to think, and so I head to her room. Once there I just stand there and look around. Her room is so pink and lively like she is, and I find myself smiling. She always loved pink, but who am I to judge her? I like the color myself.
As I walk around her room I notice a photo on her vanity. I go over and pick it up. It’s a picture of her and Elphaba, and across the top of the photo is says Wiz-O-Mania! I pick it up and examine it. She looks so happy. Elphaba looks happy. Sadly, I haven’t seen Glinda that happy in a long time. Well okay, maybe that isn’t true. She seemed very happy when she was around Elphaba.
Something catches my attention out of the corner of the eye. I set the picture down, and pick up the object that caught my. It’s a pill bottle! “It couldn’t be!” I say quietly as I read the label. The medication inside is a powerful narcotic. I set the bottle down and begin looking through the rest of her drawers. I feel a bit guilty, but at the same time I am very worried about her. I find a few more medications in another drawer, and seeing all of it makes me feel terribly guilty. I realize then and there Glinda needs help, and I know exactly how I can. Her father won’t be pleased, but then again who says he has to find out? With that I return the bottles to the drawer, and leave her room.
As I head towards the door I notice a servant and inform him that I am going to for a walk, and that I will back in couple hours. He gives a slight bow, and I head out the door.
A short while later I find myself standing in front of the cabin that Elphaba is staying in. I hadn't exactly intended to come here, but maybe it's a good thing. I mean, I haven't exactly come to see her since everything happened, and so I go the door and knock. There is no answer and so I knock again.
Just as I go to knock a third time the door opens. Elphaba stands there looking a little surprised. “Lady Upland!”
“Hello Elphaba.” I say giving her a small smile. “I was wondering if you would walk with me. I would like to talk to you.” She hesitates but comes out, and begin to walk towards the woods. Elphaba follows silently. “How have you been?” I ask, and glance at her.
(Elphaba's POV)
I'm surprised to see Lady Upland when I open the door, and even more surprised when she asks me walk with her. As I step out if the cabin I glare blinking against the burning sunlight. It's been quite sometime since I left the cabin.
We walk in silence for a bit before she asked how I have been, and immediately reply rather sarcastically, “I am doing just wonderful!” I even throw in a fake smile and roll my eyes looking back at the path we are heading down. “How the hell do you think I've been?” I growl coolly. She flinches as if I just slapped her. Good. She deserved it.
“I… I'm sorry Elphie.” She says slowly.
“Do not call me Elphie!” I growl at her. “My name is Elphaba and you will only address me by that name!”
She swallows. “Very well, Elphaba. I really am sorry though. I didn't mean to cause you or Glinda any heartache. It's just that-”
“You didn't mean to cause us any heartache?” I swear. “Well, I am not sure what the hell you thought would happen when you ripped us apart, but if you didn't think it would break our hearts your dumber than your daughter use to be!” I clench my fists as I come to halt and glare at her.
“Again! I am sorry!” She says quietly and continues down the path. “I never meant to hurt you two, but you need see it from Highmuster and I’s point of view.”
“Oh? I need too?” I say quirking an eye at her as we enter into Glinda’s garden. Lady Upland gives me a stern look. “Yes, you do! You see Galinda-”
“She goes by Glinda now. The 'a’ is silent.”
“Fine! Glinda is Highmuster and I’s only child, and all we ever wanted was for her was to have well to do husband and some children. We only wanted what was best for her.” She says coming a halt near the fountain. I find myself growing more upset the more Lady Glinda says and I snap. “You did not want what was best for her! You two only wanted what was best for you! You didn’t care what she wanted! You didn’t care that at some point in Glinda’s life she decided to grow up, and follow her own dreams, and… and when she chose to love someone other than who you two saw fit her to be with! Nevermind the fact she fell in love with not only a girl, but that that girl was me, the Wicked Witch of the West! Did you ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe you could have seen things in a different light? That maybe you could have taken a chance and had a little faith in your daughter's decision to love me? If you had then maybe you could have seen that I love and care for Glinda just as much as you and Master Upland?” I stand there trembling, fist clenched, breathing heavily. I feel as if I could cry, but I don't. Instead I close my eyes and turn away from Lady Upland.
“You're right.” I hear her say. “We did judge you, and the worse part is I helped you two come together again, and then I ripped you apart.” I feel a hand on my shoulder and she gently turns around so I am facing her. “I'm sorry Elphaba. We were… I was wrong. I should have seen that taking you from Glinda wasn't good for you or her. Please forgive me?” She asks and I can tell she really means it, and all I can do is nod and whisper. “I forgive you.”
