Elizabeth's P.O.V

"Yeah..." I told her and I notice a smile appear on her face.

"I'm glad." she said and looked at the sky too.

"You can tell me what happened" she said and I felt myself lightly shiver.

"I..." I thought about it. Once I let her know, she won't leave, right?

She won't tell me it was just a little thing, right?

"Can I trust you?" I asked her seriously.

"Of course." She replied in a heartbeat.

"Dad was at home, drunk..." I started, still remembering what he looked like vividly.

"I helped him get up and then after that he grabbed me by the wrist and-"

"He didn't touch you, right?" She said, dangerously serious.

"No." I said and she let out a relieved sigh.

"He just cornered me on a wall and I managed to go out of the house. He called me Elise though" I told her.

"Elise?"

"My mom. She left when I was 10."

"Do...do you know why?" She asked cautiously.

"Not until my dad mentioned about her being a 'dyke' last week." I notice her grip on the sheet tighten. "I guess she left us for a woman."

"Are you okay with it?" She laid down on her back completely.

I laid on my side and rested my head on my arm.

"I don't know." I said truthfully, "I'm opening up to the idea but the fact that my mom... I don't know."

"well at least you're going somewhere. You just need to talk to her."

"I don't even know where she is."

"You'll find her someday and then you can talk it out." she said, still keeping her eyes on the sky.

"I don't even know what to say, plus, I hate talking."

She looked at me, "what are you doing right now?"

I furrowed my eyebrows and then my eyes widened.

I was talking to her all along, I kept answering her questions, I told her things even Tori didn't know.

"Enough about me." I lightly shook my head, "tell me about you."

"What about me?" She said and then propped her head on her hand like mine.

The moon illuminates her face, smooth skin evident in her features. The soft breeze giving her hair small movements like a wave.

Her eyes stare at mine, they looked pretty.

"I don't know." I said, pushing my thoughts aside.

"Can I trust you?" She asked me the same.

I hummed.
