Two Hearts And Simple Pleasures
6AM- Monday
'BEEP BEEP BEEP'
Jen was suddenly woken up by the sound of her alarm shuddering against the bedside unit. Leaning over, her eyes still shut she slams her hand on the alarm clock
to silence the echoing disturbance. She feels as if she has only just shut her eyes, tossing and turning all night unable to control her thoughts which were consumed entirely
of a certain red head.
Three days ago she had told Tilly nothing could happen between them as she was her teacher. Ever since the encounter she couldn't help but feel miserable. She loves Tilly with all her heart but she was too scared to allow herself to admit it. She is scared of loosing everything she has ever worked for, not only that but she couldn't help but surround herself with thick walls to protect herself which were built due to the heartache she has previously experienced. She was ashamed of herself for feeling so weak around the teenager. She is angry at the circumstances they were in, if they had met when Tilly is a couple of years older and has left school they could be together like a normal couple.
Feeling herself become upset as she couldn't help but turn her thoughts on the situation she jumped out of bed and started to get ready for the day ahead. She was not looking forward to today as she had double art with the one girl who she wished she could kiss, who wished she could be with. After taking a long shower trying to wake herself up a little and cleanse her mind of the previous weeks she got dressed and headed downstairs, quickly making herself some toast she headed out the door. she wanted to invade Diane who recently has constantly been asking Jen if she was ok. Diane could tell something was wrong with Jen as every time she came in the door from work she would head straight to her room for the rest of the day and night. She wasnt eating properly and Diane was becoming concerned for the brunette.
Jen made her way to College Coffee to start her day off, upon entering she was stopped in her tracks as she noticed the redhead standing in the corner leaning against a high table talking to George. Jen couldn't help but momentarily stare at Tilly as she gracefully waved her arms about clearly in deep conversation with her friend. She noticed how incredibly gorgeous she looked today; Tilly stood with an air of carefree confidence that is most noticeable in her bright blue eyes. Her face Soft with rounded cheek bones, proportionally slim nose, rimmed brows and soft pouting pink lips that are complimented by her charming smile. Jen desperately wanted to take Tilly in her arms and tell her how sorry she is for dismissing her, for denying any feeling towards the young girl. Jen couldn't help but wonder why Tilly wasnt looking as miserable as herself, has she no feelings towards the brunette anymore? has she found someone else who is making her happy? or is she simply putting up a front to try not to raise any questions on why she was sad? Jen had now been looking at Tilly for several seconds before she was snapped out of the thoughts by Tilly who has now noticed her presence in the coffee shop. She just looked blank, she didn't show Jen any emotion what so ever. Just looked. Tilly noticed how tired and deflated Jen looks, she wanted to know if Jen was missing her just as much as she was. She wanted to know if this was tearing her apart, as Tilly too wasnt getting any sleep but she has put up a front to hide her pain. She wanted to make Jen think that she was not hurt by her rejection. Both girls heard a smash which brought their attentions to a woman who had just smashed a cup behind the counter. Jen then decided to go order her coffee, she couldn't look at the redhead again as she would be brought to tears. Tilly too looked away as she was close to cracking her shown confidence. Jen ordered her coffee and hurried out of the shop making her way to college. She needed to prepare herself for the long day ahead where she had her last 2 periods with the beautiful Tilly. She was dreading it, she didnt know how she was going to cope with not breaking down infront of a class full of students.
What is today going to bring? Will they be able to compose the emotions whirling inside of them?
Let me know what you think! :)
