She Don't Tell Me To
Gwendalyn didn't know how her parents were going to react. She was terrified of what was going through her mother's head right now.
"Ruka, go somewhere."
"No!" Haruka barked.
Gwendalyn didn't say anything as she ran inside her house and up the stairs to her room. As soon as she got there, she laid on her bed and cried. She was upset with herself about not running after Hayden and she was upset that her parents.
"Gwen? Are you ok?" Michiru asked as she sat on the bed.
"No."
"What happened?"
Gwendalyn sat up to see her mother walk into her room. "This was what you wanted!"
Haruka kneeled in front of her daughter's bed. She couldn't believe that her daughter would even think that. Even if it was true. "I admit that I don't want you with Hayden or any other girl for that matter."
"I can't believe you!" Gwendalyn got up off her bed. "You're the only one who gets to be happy! That's not fair!" Gwendalyn grabbed her purse and ran out to her car. When she reached her car, she jumped inside and started it. After sitting for a minute, she drove off.
Haruka stood at the front door watching her daughter drive off. She was about to walk out the door to her car when Michiru grabbed her hand. "I have to go after her."
"She'll be back. Don't worry." Michiru said. She was trying to convince herself that their daughter would be fine.
Haruka turned around and said, "But it's my fault. If I hadn't been standing there, th…"
"You know that this is partially your fault. I was standing there too. Obviously Hayden didn't want to stick around."
"But you're not the one who said that she couldn't be with her!"
Michiru let go of Haruka's hand and closed the front door. "Your right that wasn't me, but I know why Gwen's so upset about this." After she said that she walked to the kitchen.
Haruka stood there trying to figure out what Michiru meant. After two minutes, she went to find Michiru. "What do you mean?"
"I promised Gwen that I wouldn't tell you." Michiru knew that Haruka was going to get her break her promise.
"Tell me?"
"Fine, but don't tell her I told you."
"Ok."
"Sit down, Ruka."
Haruka sat down on one of the chairs that were at the counter and said, "What is it?"
"She was going to tell Hayden how she felt tonight."
"Why?"
"Because she doesn't want it to be a secret anymore. I think that she was tired of dating girls that weren't Hayden."
"But I'm trying to save her from getting her heart broken." Haruka said. She couldn't believe it.
"Gwen's already had her heart broken and it's had two years to heal." Michiru said as she sat in the chair next her wife. "Remember it broke when Hayden rejected her the first time?"
"Yeah, but…"
"She's growing up, Ruka. Gwen's in love with Hayden."
"Maybe we should go look for Gwen." Haruka didn't like the way her daughter had left.
"All right. You go look for her and I'll wait here." Michiru said.
Haruka nodded and kissed her wife. She was glad that she had Michiru because she had calmed her down. As soon as Haruka got outside, she saw Gwendalyn driving up to the house. So Haruka sat down on the front porch.
Gwendalyn parked her car and got out. She didn't know what she was going to say to her mother. "Hi mom."
"Gwen, I think we should talk." Haruka said.
"Ok." Gwendalyn walked over and sat down next to her mother.
"Don't get mad at Michi because I asked her to tell me what you promised her." Haruka looked at her daughter. "I had all the things that I wanted you to do."
"Like what?"
"Marry a handsome young man and have a ton of children."
"Mom!"
"What?"
"I can't believe you."
"Well, I wanted to keep you safe from everything that I went through." Haruka paused. "I know that Hayden would never hurt you."
Gwendalyn looked at her mother. "What are you saying?"
"I'm saying that if you want to date Hayden that's fine. I kind of realized what you were going through when I was dating Michiru and everything that you and me fought over."
"Can I go see Hayden?" Gwendalyn eagerly asked.
"No."
"But you just said th…"
"I think she left for a reason and if you go over there now, you might scare her away."
"So I'll tell her tomorrow afternoon."
"Yep."
"Thanks mom." Gwendalyn hugged her mother and ran inside. She couldn't wait until tomorrow.
Haruka, Michiru, and Gwendalyn spent the rest of that day watching television. They were all nervous, but weren't going to think about it. Haruka carried Gwendalyn upstairs to put her in bed.
"Goodnight, sweetie."
Haruka walked back to her room and sat on the bed. "Michi, are you sure about letting Gwen date Hayden?"
"Of course I am." Michiru couldn't believe that this was really bothering her wife. "So are you."
"Your right. I am."
"Good."
Michiru kissed Haruka and then laid back down. Eventually Haruka laid down and went to sleep.
Gwendalyn woke up the next day at 10:45. She was super excited about the day. One reason was because she was graduating from high school and the other reason was that she was going to tell Hayden how she felt about her.
"Gwen are you up?" Haruka asked as she poked her head in the door.
"Yes, mom." Gwendalyn got up and got ready to go to graduation.
About thirty minutes later, she walked downstairs wearing a strapless black tea-length dress and black shoes. Haruka couldn't believe how much her daughter had grown up. To her it seemed like Gwendalyn was just starting school, not graduating.
"You look beautiful, Gwen." Haruka said.
"Thanks mom."
They took pictures and then left to go to Juuban High School. The whole car ride there was full of laughter. They were all really nervous. When they got there, Haruka parked the car.
"Gwen, don't push the subject."
"I'm telling her today whether she likes it or not." Gwendalyn hoped that she would like it.
The three of them got out of the car and walked to the school. They were surprised by how many people were already here. Haruka and Michiru told Gwendalyn 'bye' and went to go find a place to sit in the gym.
Gwendalyn walked over to the music suite to find Hayden. She figured that she already had to be here. She looked in all the practice rooms and found Hayden in the last one.
Gwendalyn opened the door and said, "Hi!"
"Hi." Hayden couldn't even look at Gwendalyn.
Gwendalyn closed the door and said, "If you think that I'm mad at you for kissing me, it's not true."
Hayden looked at Gwendalyn and said, "Why aren't you?"
"Because," Gwendalyn said, "I was going to tell you that I've wanted to…"
"Gwen?"
"Hayden I think that I love you and I want to be able to…"
Hayden smiled. "I can't believe you!"
"You're smiling so that's a good thing."
Hayden passionately kissed Gwendalyn. Every single feeling they had for each other went into that kiss.
Neither one of them knew that Haruka had been standing there. Haruka walked away smiling. She was truly happy. The one thing that had scared her from the day her daughter was born had happened, and she wasn't scared anymore. If her daughter was happy, then she was happy too.
Every now an' then, on my way home,
I stop at a spot where the wild flowers grow, an' I pick a few,
Yes I do.
That was the last chapter. I'm very sad to see this one go. It was my first ever sequel. The thing that scared Haruka was that her daughter would turn out to be like her. I thought that I would tell you so you didn't have to go through looking for it. Thanks to everyone who reviewed and gave their ideas. Let me know what you guys thought! Bye!
