New Developments

There was a ringing sound in her ears.

Her heart was beating quickly.

How could she have been so naïve?

She wasn't even out yet.

How could she have thought it was even possible?

It was the next week and Brooke walked into school and was full-on bitch-slapped by the sight of Christine and Adam kissing and speaking quietly to each other outside of Christine's locker.

Brooke felt psychically sick and looked around frantically for somewhere to vomit. While looking around, Drew caught her eye. The dark-haired girl put an arm around the shaking girls' shoulders and brought her to the bleachers.

'You want one?'Drew offered her a cigarette.

'No thanks.'Brooke's voice shook as she spoke.

'You okay?'Drew asked.

'N-no.'Brooke answered, sitting herself down on one of the steps. Drew sat beside her.

'I know how much it sucks when you like someone that can never like you back.'She sighed.

'Who do you like?'Brooke sniffed, trying to take her mind off her problem.

'My dead ex-girlfriend.'Drew said quietly.

'Oh,'Brooke paused.'If you don't mind me asking, how did she die?' Drew looked at the fiery haired girl. There was something so pure about her. It was like she could do no wrong. Her large doe-eyes were wide with sincerity.

'She committed suicide,'Drew told the girl.'We went out in Middle School in secret. She was terrified to come out. One day, her parents were talking about the abomination that was the 'Lopez-Pierce Family' and she blew a gasket. She screamed at her parents and told them about how she was in love with the bisexual one. Her father shunned her and the whole family was ignored by everyone. She was bullied so badly. She left a note in my locker telling me how she couldn't go on and how much she loved me and how sorry she was,'Drew's eyes pricked with tears and a large lump formed in her throat.'I-I drove to h-her house but it was too late. S-she h-hung herself from th-the rail of her curt-tain. I was too late.'Drew couldn't hold back the tears. She hiccuped loudly and sobbed into Brooke's arms. The ginger girl held Drew carefully, trying to forget about the germs she was getting all over her.

'It wasn't your fault.'Brooke whispered and ran her hand through the girl's silky locks. This made Drew sob harder into the girl's stomach. They sat on the bleachers together for a while, letting the silence swallow Drew's sobs.

'Thank you, Brooke.'Drew pulled away and squeezed the girl's hand.

'Y-you're welcome.'Brooke's breath caught in her throat as she noticed the girl's brown eyes shine brightly.

Oh no.

'How did it go?'Quinn Fabray sat outside the Doctor's office with Harmony and Rory. She had demanded that she see the pregnancy through, making sure that the girl was getting the care she needed.

'Five months along and she's doing great.'Nora smiled widely and put a hand on the bump on her stomach.

'I'm sure she'll be beautiful.'Quinn grinned.

'Oh sweetie, are you okay? Do you need anything?'Harmony asked, leaping out of her chair and holding her daughter's hand.

'I need to pee!'Nora announced and waddled to the bathroom. The three adults sat in silence.

'Thank you, Quinn,'Rory smiled at the blonde.'You're helping us through this.'Rory held up his and Harmony's linked hands.

'I know how tough a teen-pregnancy is. It sucks. She's handling it better than I did though,'Quinn smiled.'In fact, she seems genuinely happy that she's having a child.'

'She's going to be a great mother.'Harmony smiled slightly.

'With parents like us, how could she not be!'Rory kissed his wife on the cheek just as Nora came back.

'Ew, no P.D.A please.'The girl rolled her eyes and checked her nails.

'You ready to go?'Harmony asked her daughter.

'Yep!'Nora grinned and they left the hospital.

The two blondes walked outside the courtyard and sat under a tree. They had started talking easily again. Just like before. No awkward pauses, no tension. Nothing.

'How are you?'Vanessa asked Aarik.

'I'm okay, last week was tough.'Aarik admitted and bit into his apple.

'How's your Dad handling it?'She asked.

'He handles it well,'Aarik sighed.'Better than I do.'

'Aw, Aarik.'Vanessa frowned and sat closer to the boy. She wrapped her arms around his middle and hugged him tightly. Aarik put an arm around her shoulders.

'I'll be okay some day,'Aarik smiled slightly.'Astrid helps loads. She brings me coffee, comics and other stuff. She's my best friend.'Vanessa couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in her chest at the way Aarik spoke about Astrid so fondly.

'You have a crush?'She teased, hoping the answer was 'no'.

'Nah, she's more high maintenance than most think.'Aarik joked.

'Oh really?'Vanessa looked up at the blonde who grinned down at her.

'Really.'Aarik smirked and pushed her fringe from her eyes. Vanessa took in a deep breath at the touch and nuzzled into the boy's chest more.

'Are you sure you're okay?'Melodie asked as she sat down on the park bench with Harry.

'I'm fine! Chill, Mel!'Harry rolled his eyes and took a sip of coffee.

'I can't help but worry! You're injured.'Melodie gestured to the large pink cast on the boy's wrist.

'I still think the Doctor said they only had pink left to embarrass me.'Harry glared at the plaster.

'It blends in nicely with the uniform.'Melodie winked and licked her ice cream.

'How are you eating ice cream in this weather?'Harry excalimed. The ice had just melted but the air was still frosty and cold.

'I like ice cream in cold weather! Shoot me!'Melodie held up her hands in mock surrender.

'Weirdo.'Harry muttered under his breath. Melodie rolled her eyes and scoffed.

'Ass hole.'Melodie smirked and Harry locked eyes with her. They glared at each other for a few seconds before bursting into laughter.

'Ow!'Harry yelled, pain shooting through his chest.

'Oh my God! Are you okay?'Melodie asked, extremely worried. She placed a hand on his chest, a gesture of comfort. In doing so, she moved closer.

'I am now.'Harry wagged his eyebrows, glancing down to Melodie's other hand clutching his own.

'Natural gesture, ass hole.'Melodie brushed off the action.

'So is this!'Harry winked before diving in and kissing the brunette. Melodie brought a hand up to his cheek and Harry put his good hand on his hip. They pulled back a minute later and grinned embarrassed.

'Um...'

'Yeah..'

'I'm sorry, that was pretty stupid.'Harry chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck, taking his hand off Melodie's hip. Melodie removed her hand and it fell limply into her lap.

'It was stupid.'Melodie agreed and stared in the other direction.

'Mel?'The girl's head whipped around and Harry's face with two inches from her own.

'Yeah?'The girl asked.

'Your hair is in your ice cream.'Harry whispered and Melodie looked down. Her hair was covered in vanilla ice cream.

'Shit! It's all your fault!'She hit the boy.

'Ow! Don't hit me! I'm injured!'Harry exclaimed. Melodie glared at the boy before standing up and walking away. Harry followed after her, grabbing her arm and twirling her around.

'What?'Melodie asked arngrily.

'What is your problem?'Harry stared incredulously at the girl.

'You can't just toy with emotions, Harry,'Melodie said sternly.'You can't just pretend that you like a girl, kiss her and then nearly kiss her again but make a joke instead! I mean, who does that?'

'A douche bag.'Harry interjected.

'And another thing. Why the hell would you kiss me then not even have the courtesy to tell me why! You can't do that! I really like you but now I sort of hate you you bumbling, idiotic, stupid, ass hole-ish d-' Harry pulled her in for a kiss again and pulled back a second later.

'Would you go out with me?'Harry asked the awestruck girl.

'O-okay.'
