Confusing Feelings

Meg was laying on Jo's bed, her head resting on Jo's shoulder. She wasn't even watching the movie that was playing. Jo knew this because the redhead wasn't screaming at the top of her lungs. "Meg?" No answer. "Hey, Meg!" Meg obviously wasn't paying attention, so Jo leaned over until her face was just inches away from hers. "Meg." She whispered.

Meg jumped back, her face was bright red. "WHAT?!" Jo backed away a little. "What's wrong?" Jo asked. Meg looked away and muttered a very unconvincing, "Nothing." Jo sighed, knowing that this was going to take a while. She grabbed the TV remote and switched off the horror movie that was playing. "Well then why are you being so quiet?" She asked, turning back to the Meg. "I'm not." "You haven't said a word since you came into my room."

Meg sighed and shifted uncomfortably. "I'm just lonely..." This took Jo by surprise. She was almost always right by Meg's side. Why would she be lonely? Was she not enough for her? "But..." Jo said quietly, "I'm right here, how are you lonely?" Meg let out a small laugh. "No, not that kind of lonely. I mean I want a relationship..." Jo gave her a blank stare. "A relationship? You want a boyfriend?" Jo didn't know why but the thought of Meg dating made her angry. "Well, something like that..." Meg said.
Jo stood up quickly. "I'm going out." She said, grabbing her guns and leaving behind a very confused Meg.

Jo walked blindly through the freezing rain. She didn't know why she was so upset, but she was. Why did Meg feel the need to have a relationship with anyone else? She didn't need anyone else, so would Meg? The thought that she wasn't good enough for Meg crossed her mind once again. "FUCK!" She screamed, punching the side of a nearby building and earning a few strange looks from the other pedestrians.

"Jo!" Jo looked up to see a familiar car. "Get in." Jo climbed into the passenger seat beside her friend and employer, Sei. They drove in silence for a while, then Sei stopped at a light and looked at Jo. "Something on your mind?" She asked. Jo sighed and looked out the window. "Meg wants a boyfriend." Sei looked at Jo for a second before she burst out laughing. "What's so funny?" Sei kept driving as the light changed. "You look like a kicked puppy." She laughed. Jo just scowled and looked out the window.

"I don't get it... She said she was lonely, but I'm always there for her. Why does she have to replace me?"
They pulled up to the trailer, and Sei stopped the car but remained inside with Jo. "Well, Jo, Meg is a young woman, and she has certain... Needs. Needs that a friend usually cannot fill." Jo looked at her, confused. Sei just sighed. "Come on, let's go in. You need to get dry."

Meg was pacing around the small kitchen. Where the hell was she?! She had been gone for hours, and it was pouring rain outside. She sighed and looked out the window. "Oh my god Meg. You worry to much, she's fine. I mean, come on, this is JO we are talking about. She can handle her self."
Meg shot the young girl a dirty look. "Shut up, Amy." Amy just stuck out her tongue and walked off. Meg sighed again and sat down. She was sure she had made Jo mad. She groaned and laid her head on the table.
The sound of the door opening made Meg bolt upright, and sure enough there stood a sopping wet Jo. "Jo! You're OK!" Meg yelled as she ran over and tackled her silver haired friend. Jo didn't even stumble when meg jumped on her, she stood stiffly and hugged her awkwardly, not sure what else to do. Sei walked in behind Jo and smiled at the two of them before heading off to her room. Once Sei reached her room she saw Amy sitting on her bedroom. "So..." Amy said. "What's wrong with Jo?" Sei smiled, "She thinks Meg wants a boyfriend." They looked at each other then both burst out laughing. "Well..." Amy said in between giggles, "this should be interesting..."

Meg stood outside Jo's door, thinking of a way to apologize. She wasn't even sure why Jo was mad, so that made things a little difficult. Finally she decided that a simple "I'm sorry" would have to do, and knocked on the the door. A few seconds later Jo opened it. Meg turned bright red. She was wearing a pair of basketball shorts, but no shirt. The only thing covering her chest was a towel draped around her neck. She smelled like soap and her hair was still dripping from the shower.
Meg just stood there with her mouth open. "Um... Meg...?" Meg jumped a little, turning even more red. "Um, yea. Um.. Can I, uh, come in?" She stuttered. Jo moved aside to let her in. Meg sat down on Jo's bed and watched as she closed the door and started going through her drawers. She pulled out an over sized shirt and set it on top of a chair. Meg stared as she pulled the towel off of her neck and started using it to dry her hair, leaving her chest fully exposed. Meg couldn't tear her eyes away. It wasn't like she hadn't seen it before, she had actually seen Jo fully unclothed, but it still had this effect on her.

After what felt like an eternity, Jo finally put her shirt on and came and sat by Meg. "I'm sorry if I upset you earlier..." Meg said softly, looking at the floor. Jo looked at her and smiled slightly. "It's OK." She said, "Sei explained it to me." Meg looked up quickly. "What?! She did?!" Meg felt herself turning red again. She couldn't believe Sei would do that, she had told her to stay out of it! "Well, uh... How do you feel about it...?" Meg asked, almost afraid to hear the answer. "As long as it's what you really want, and it will make you happy... Then I'm OK with it." Meg couldn't believe what she just heard. She couldn't keep the huge smile from her face. "Of course it's what I want!" She pulled Jo into a hug, and felt Jo hug her back slightly.

Jo pulled back. "I'm about to watch a movie." Meg knew it would be a horror movie, but wanted to stay with Jo. "I'll watch it with you." Jo got up and put a tape in the VCR. "Just try not to scream..." Jo asked, knowing very well that she would. Jo laid down on her bed, and felt Meg snuggle into her.
