If They Only Knew

Chapter 1

Heavy breathing. Chests heaving up and down. Legs and fingers intertwined. Sheets tangled. The smell of romance and hunger in the air. Eyes locked. Smiles wide. Why were these moments so fleeting? Everything was forbidden about this relationship but in this moment, nothing held them back. They cherished these moments because they came few and far in between.

For one of them, tomorrow would bring another day of flirting with guys in the hallway, party invites, and perfect grades. The view from the top of the social hierarchy was indeed a nice one, but the pressure that comes with it is sometimes too much for her to handle. The pressure for her to be smart, the pressure for her to be beautiful, the pressure for her to be better than her older sister at everything, the pressure for her to be straight weighed on her like a 100 pound brick. These pressures seeped into different aspects of her life and transformed into demons that she hid away like her best kept secrets. The only times she felt safe was during the 5, 10, 15 minute rendezvous she cherished with the girl next to her.

For the second girl, tomorrow would bring another day of torment. Parents fighting, being taunted at school, and having an almost nonexistent social life. She grasped onto the belief that nothing would get better for her and that nothing would change. She peered into the piercing hazel eyes across from her and realized that she was the only person in which she could seek solace. But only for these next five minutes. Because once they left this room, their open love and affection for each other had to be stifled. Passionate kisses turned into pursed lips. Deep gazes turned into quick, empty glances. Smiling faces that emoted all the happiness in the world turned into blank, uncaring faces. And all the love that they felt for each other was stashed away, waiting to be unleashed on another night. And during this night, for a few brief, but incredible moments, both girls could be themselves. Both girls could love again.
