Disclamer: i do not own Gone, or it's characters
Notes: This is a re-write of the first chapter. Please read, and review! Tell me what you think!
It's so strange how three words can change everything. I love you Brianna..
I can still her voice whisper it in my ear.
I can still feel the tickle of her breath, against my face.
I love you…
I didn't know what to say at the time. How could I? I would have never guessed someone would be in love with me, let alone another girl.. It felt strange, at first. Honestly, I was kind of creeped out, I guess.
But.. maybe i am glad she told me. She was on the brink of death, and if she would have died.. i would have never known.
I have thought about it everyday since...
And now… what if I feel the same way? I thought I loved computer Jack, And that maybe.. He loved me too. Although.. sometimes he was too oblivious to even notice I was there.
Dekka is my friend, and I have never thought of us as anything more, but… what if we were? What would it be like if we became more? What would people say? Maybe I'm not even worried about what people would say. What would I say? My mother always used to rant about gay people; about how it wasn't right. What would she say?
It's been awkward between me and her lately, since she told me. I want that to change, but how? How do I tell her I might feel the same? Could I just… tell her?
How would she react?
I am so confused, and I don't know what to think..
As i shifted in my seat to get more comfortable, i heard something click behind me.
"Brianna?" Dekka says shyly from behind me, interrupting my thoughts. Spinning around quickly, I turn to look at her. She really is beautiful…
"Oh! Dekka, h…hey," I said a little too fast. "W…what are you doing here?"
Dekka sighs and sits down awkwardly on the couch next to me. "I just… I wanted to talk to you. About the other day, you know. When I told you that I…"
"Yeah? What about it?" I say, cutting her off.
"Well I… I just…" she stops to think for a second, biting her lip. "We never talk anymore.." She said, looking down at her hands. "You can't even look me in the eyes." she looks up at me, watching as my eyes move away, proving her point.
Dekka sighs, and buries her head into her hands "I miss you Brianna!" she mumbles under her breath "If I could take it back I would, but I can't! I…can't" sniffling a little, she pauses a second. "I want things to go back to the way they were. Can we? I know you don't feel the same. I understand you don't like girls. I know you have a thing for jack. I wouldn't have told you if I didn't think I was going to die!" She stops and looks up at me, her eyes locking on mine, and i can't help but stare back "Just.. the thought of dying and never telling you… I had to tell you." She whispered, as tears started to stream down her face.
"Dekka!" I said taking her hand in mine, and wiping her tears off her face. "I… I'm glad you told me. I'm so sorry Dekka. It scared me when you told me but, I… I am so confused now..." Stroking my thumb against her fingers, " I think I might Love you too, Dekka."
Blushing, I gave her a sad we gazed into each others eyes, her eyes, big and brown with long eyelashes, looked so sad. I hated myself at that moment because I knew I was the reason. That I was the one that made her cry.
"Really?" she whispered in awe, Disbelief written all over her face. To answer, I leaned forward, brushing my lips against hers.
They were so soft…
She pushed against me, deepening our kiss, and I ended up lying back on the couch with her on top of me. My heart beating so fast I thought it might jump out of my chest. Suddenly, she pulled away, and propped herself up on one arm. She was glowing, and i could tell i had just made her the happiest girl in the universe. I couldn't help but smile myself.
"Your amazing, you know that?" she said, smiling from ear to ear.
