Secrets

Us.

The atmosphere of the living room of Laura's home had changed to worse the moment the door opened and in walked Sarah's sister, Rachel. It seemed like a darkness had dawned upon them. The wind outside had taken a sharp turn as the people inside the house could hear the rattling of glass doors and windows, but they were too engrossed, staring at their guest to pay attention to them. The moment that Sarah entered the house and looked at her friends, staring at her sister with different emotions dancing in their eyes, Sarah knew that she had made a bad decision. But the brunette knew that she had to do what she had to do and sometimes, one had to make tough decisions in order to set everything straight. And hoping that Rachel would be able to set everything straight, Sarah had no other choice but to bring her into her friend's house. 

As she stood in front of them, Sarah's eyes shifted from Lily to Laura, while they swiftly glanced over at Taylor who stood between them, and back to Lily. But her eyes were forced to look back at her raven-haired friend and when she did, a cold shiver rush down her spine as the look on Laura's face chilled her to her very core. As her emerald eyes bored into Rachel's, rage began to rush all throughout her body. Laura could not believe that her eyes were staring back at the person who drove her own sister to almost take her life. Laura's eyes darkened with anger and the desire to do something to Rachel for which, she was sure, Sarah would never forgive her. As Rachel herself didn't waver from Laura's piercing stare into her soul, Laura's anger flared up a few notches higher . How dare she? Laura thought to herself. As Laura balled up her fists and almost saw red spots due to anger, flashes of Sarah crumbled on the bathroom floor holding a sharp knife in her hands, preparing herself to slit her wrists came to her mind and Laura began to visibly shake. At this point, Laura's girlfriend would have noticed her shake and hold her or do something to lessen her pain, but Taylor herself was lost in her own world. But fortunately, Sarah began to beg for Laura's attention as the brunette kept staring at Laura, hoping the raven-haired would notice her. And Laura did. As her green eyes fell upon Sarah's brown hues, Sarah begged Laura to remain clam, for her. Only for her, I will. Laura closed her eyes and tried to compose herself. 

While Laura trembled with anger, Lily found herself standing like a mannequin in her place, staring right at her girlfriend with eyes wide open. If the situation was not so dire, she would have nailed the mannequin challenge, for the way she found herself freezing over. Lily stood still, her eyes only focusing on her girlfriend. Her eyes never shifted to look over at Sarah's sister; it was only from the corner of her eyes that she saw a figure of a woman resembling lot like Sarah's sister, Rachel. Lily did notice her girlfriend turn her focus from her to her friends and back to Lily but then she completely drew her attention towards Laura and began to ask her friend for something. And Lily knew that her girlfriend was asking Laura to calm herself down. However, Lily could not blame her friend, Laura, because she herself was not taking in the new guest in the house very well. Even though Lily didn't give anything away, like Laura's burning red face, the blonde was utterly shocked to see Sarah, her lovely girlfriend, with her devious sister. The same sister who made her girlfriend to want to off herself. Even though Lily was not the one to find Sarah on the bathroom floor with a knife clutched between her fingers, every time she closed her eyes, she saw a scared and hurt Sarah, down on her knees and a knife in her hand, readying herself to bid everyone goodbye, forever. And the image of her girlfriend wanting to kill herself was enough to make Lily want to harm anyone who could bring so much sorrow to her girlfriend, even if that someone was Sarah's own sister. Lily could never forgive herself for not being there for her girlfriend at such a crucial time, but she would always be grateful for Laura, for saving the love of her life. Always.
