Chapter 2
Temari walked back downstairs as soon as she heard her mom leave. She always went out for a drive to clear her head after a fight.
She walked over to the fridge and opened it for no particular reason. Next, she opened the freezer and got out an ice pack to put over her eyes. They burned like hell and so did her throat. She walked over and got some water.
"Who the hell does she think she is! God? What the fuck is wrong with her!" Temari pounded her fist on the table and took a sip of water.
"She's only moving me to get me away from Tenten, like it's going to turn me automatically straight or something. Why am I even still here? How can she trust me to be alone right now? I could kill myself!"
The phone rang. Temari walked over and looked at the Caller ID. Tenten. Great. Just great. Temari pushed the "Talk" button, and without saying anything, hung up. She was probably never going to talk to her again. Oh shit. She remembered something. Tenten only lived a few blocks down and her mother was good friends with Tenten's mother. Temari's mom usually went to talk to Tenten's mom when she had problems. If her mother was there...
Temari banged her head on the table and the phone rang again. Tenten. She picked up then hung up. She didn't want to talk to anyone, especially Tenten at a time like this. She wished she would stop calling.
Wishing didn't work. Tenten called again. This time, Temari got up and put the phone under a cushion on the couch. She needed to take a walk. Even though it was pouring rain outside, she grabbed her jacket and walked into the cool, wet air.
As much as she tried not to, she started to cry again. Temari was slightly surprised that she had any left in her.
She walked into the park that her and Tenten used to go to last summer. Of course this summer was different. This was the summer she found out her feelings. Temari walked over and sat on the bench where they always used to sit and talk. She tried to think about something, no, anything else, other than her sexuality. So the weather's been rainy lately hasn't it? Heh heh heh...
She sighed and buried her head in her knees that were drawn up to her chest. She could feel a presence. Dear God please no...
"Temari?"
Temari got up and ran without even looking to see if it was actually Tenten. She knew it was, no doubt. She ran as fast as she could, ignoring the fact that she couldn't breathe and that Tenten was calling her.
