AN: Well hello there dear dear readers! I haven't updated this in a very long time! But I found two chapters lying around the place and here one of them is! Depending on reviews I'll maybe upload the other ;) *hint hint* Anyway, I think this is unedited but here is the next installment in "I Love You"

Chapter 11 – What's happened to us?

After the party, Elphaba and Fiyero returned to her room in a bit of a daze. Galinda hadn't had one proper conversation with her since she shared her feelings. Even at the party Elphaba had waved at her best friend only to receive a small nod, which was strange for Galinda. Elphaba was concerned her friend wasn't talking to her because of what had happened, and Elphaba didn't want that, not in the least. Elphaba decided to discuss with Fiyero the reasons why Galinda would be avoiding her, before actually confronting Galinda herself.

"Fiyero, I have something to ask you…" Elphaba started, sitting down on her bed.

"Sure, sweetheart, anything" Fiyero said, sitting on Galindas bed, across from his girlfriend.

"It's about Galinda, she has been avoiding me lately, well for the last three months. Since she told me her feelings, I don't understand why" Elphaba confessed, the usual know it all, was lost.

"Of course, well, she would be hurting at the moment. For not returning her feelings towards you back, she would be upset and hurting inside" Fiyero explained softly, placing his hand over his heart.

"But she should always talk to me, I don't want things to be different, the what they were" Elphaba cried

"Things will never be the same, Elphaba. Galinda was in love with you, that's something that will never leave her." Fiyero told Elphaba.

"She should at least let her feelings out, and talk to me about it" Elphaba said, "I know that much about socialization to know that"

"But Elphaba, it isn't that easy, it never is. If you had not returned my feelings, I probably would have avoided you at all costs. Most likely do everything I could to get out of this school, to be away from you and the painful memories that I see." Fiyero explained, gently. Fiyero walked over to Elphaba and say next to her, putting his arm around her shoulders and pulling her close.

"Fiyero, I… I am not one to admit it, but I miss Galinda, and her perky talks and Galindafying sessions. She put a light in my plain world, before anyone else did, and I hold onto that. But ever since she stopped talking to me that light has been going out." Elphaba confessed, leaning into Fiyeros embrace.

"it's okay, Elphaba. No one wants to lose their best friend, no matter what." Fiyero said, softly.

"Fiyero, I don't know what to do…" All the emotions Elphaba had held in over the last three months came pouring out. She cried into Fiyeros shoulder for a few clock ticks before regaining composure and mumbling a few sorry's.

"Fae, there is nothing to be sorry about, it's good to cry and get your emotions out." Fiyero whispered, placing a kiss on the top of Elphabas head.

Elphaba looked up into Fiyeros eyes, and smiled faintly, before kissing him passionately. Fiyero returned the kiss just as the door swung open with a giggling Galinda. Fiyero and Elphaba pulled back instantly but Galinda had already taken in the sight before her, unable to hold back the tears that immediately sprung to her eyes. She swung around to walk out of the room and leave the couple in peace, but she felt Elphabas hand grab her arm.

"Elphie…" Galinda chocked as she tried to wiggle herself free without looking back at the green girl.

"Galinda, we need to talk, Fiyero was just leaving." Elphaba said sternly, not letting go of the squirming blondes arm.

Fiyero on cue, made a lot of noise getting up to make the point that he was leaving. He shuffled around the room and past Galinda, giving her a small smile of encouragement before slamming the door shut behind him.

"Elphie, I don't want to talk" Galinda said, as soon as Elphaba let go of her arm.

"I know, Galinda, but we need to!" Elphaba exclaimed walking over to her bed and sitting down again.

Galinda sighed and walked over and sat on her bed facing Elphaba, like Fiyero just did. Galinda had mixed feelings about the situation, she was worried about the reason for the conversation and she was happy to get the subject out in the open.

"Galinda, why have you been ignoring me?" Elphaba asked, simply.

"Elphie, do you really not know the answer to that question?" Galinda asked, slightly shocked at the question.

"Well, sort of, Fiyero told me a reason, but I want to hear it from you" Elphaba said, looking at Galindas wondering eyes.

"Elphaba, you broke my heart, talking or even seeing you bring back painful memories. It hurts, Elphie, when I see you and Fiyero together, and that's why I try to avoid you." Galinda breathed, tears threatening to spill over.

"Galinda… I'm so sorry, but you can't avoid me forever! I really miss you, and I really want my best friend back. I know that it is hard for you, but you need to talk to me" Elphaba told her.

At Elphabas word Galinda started crying, she couldn't keep in her emotions any longer.

"Elphie... you know… what the fun…ny thing is?" Galinda said, through her tears.

"What, Galinda?" Elphaba asked, leaning forward on the bed.

"I'm not even in love with you anymore" Galinda cried, her whole body was shaking.

"Then why are you so upset?" Elphaba asked, slightly baffled and also slightly relieved that Galinda wasn't in love with her.

"I…. I really don't know!" Galinda exclaimed.

"Oh, Glin! You're allowed to be upset." Elphaba said, sitting on Galindas bed and taking her hands.

"I know, Elphie, but I don't want to be" Galinda said, stiffening at Elphabas touch. "You want to know whats even funnier?"

Elphaba nodded and smiled slightly at her best friend.

"I like someone else now… and it seems bad that I am over you so quickly but I really relate to her and we-" Galinda paused at Elphabas laugh.

"It's Carlaya isn't it?" Elphaba asked with a smile playing on her lips.

"Maybe…" Galinda flushed and turned away from Elphaba.

"I knew it! I could see it at the party… when you were dancing. Don't shake your head, you know it happened, and do you know what else I can see?" Elphaba asked, Galinda merely nodded, "I can see she likes you too"

Galinda blushed "And how would you know that Elphaba the non-socialist?"

"Because you look at her the same way Fiyero always looks at me, mind you it annoys me!" Elphaba laughed.

Galinda smiled, "Really? That's actually really embarrassing!"

"Oh, Glin! Things are going back to the way they were." Elphaba exclaimed, clapping the way Galinda did when she was excited.

Galinda raised her eyebrow, like Elphaba usually would to counteract her action. It was a few mere clock ticks before both girls descended into a fit of giggles. When they had recovered from their giggling fit, they hugged each other tightly.

"Glin, I am very happy that we can talk to each other and laugh like this again! I've really missed you" Elphaba smiled.

"I'm glad to, Elphie, I've missed you too, so much, and not even Carly could replace you!" Galinda cried, flinging herself into another hug. "I'm also glad we got this all out in the open, it feels so good to talk about it"

"I know, Galinda that is what I said to begin with." Elphaba said solemnly

"Well, any who, I am glad" Galinda cried, waving her hand dismissively.

Elphaba laughed, "Maybe you want to introduce me properly to Carlaya?" Elphaba asked.

"Oh yes! That's a fine and mighty idea, Miss Elphaba!" Galinda said clapping her hands together. "Let's do that now!"

Galinda grabbed Elphabas arm and dragged her out of their dorm room, they made it to Carlayas in record time for Galinda and she knocked on the door. Carlaya was the one to answer the door, much to Galindas delight.

"Hey, Carly!" Galinda cried, hugging her confused friend.

"Hi Galinda" Carlaya replied, still extremely confused.

"Oh, Carly, I want you to officially meet Elphaba!" Galinda pushed Elphaba in front of her.

"Hi 'Carly'" Elphaba said, glaring at Galinda at first, then she smiled at Carlaya.

"Hi 'Elphie'" Carlaya smiled, as Elphaba raised her eyebrow, "I'm joking, Elphaba, and please call me Carlaya or Carla, not Carly" Carlaya looked at Galinda knowingly.

Elphaba laughed, "I know what you mean with that"

Carlaya smiled back at Elphaba, "I think we are going to get along just fine"

"I think so also…" Elphaba nodded.

"Guys, I'm still here!" Galinda cried, jumping up and down and waving her arms around frantically.

Both girls looked over at Galinda then back at each other, "Do you study?" Elpahaba asked, in a Galinda voice.

"Why yes I do!" Carlaya exclaimed over excitedly, another Galinda trait.

Both girls walked into Carlayas room, leaving Galinda at the door completely stunned.

"What just happened?" She thought to herself.

She waited for Mickaya to come back with a smart remark, but nothing came. Galinda looked back into the room and decided to leave her two best friends alone to get acquainted.

"This is the happiest I have been in a long time…" Galinda smiled as she headed back to her dorm.
