I do apologise about the wait, I know that I am thinking this story will last up to 30 chapters so we are on our last leg, and don't worry about our ladies, they will have an ending, whether happy or not is something I have to think about.

Now I know that I have stated this is mature and there hasn't been a lot of it going on but it is going to be happening. Trust me.

On with the show. Enjoy.

"I love you."

Jade POV

I can't believe those words came out of my mouth first. I always thought it would be Lizzie to say it first. I feel my heart hammering in my chest as I stare into Lizzie's wide eyes. I see her mouth open and close multiple times, I can practically see the cogs working in her brain.

"Oh my god," She whispered, hands flexing on my shoulders, "You said, I can't believe you said, why would you say?"

"I can't nearly loose you again, Lizzie, my life has always revolved around you, that's not going to stop anytime." I said, pulling her closer to me by her waist.

She stares at me, and I bite my lip. I see a smile starting to form on her mouth, "I can't believe it. You love me. You really love me?" I nod, still biting my lip. Her smile widens more and she lifts me up, my legs wrapping around her hips and she pulled me to her and she kissed all over my face, I giggled. "I love you too, Jay."

Beth POV

It's been a month since we confessed our love to each other and things just seemed to fall into place. ME and Jade are girlfriends and though it is all new and exciting we have just been relaxed and happy, best friends and girlfriends. I had been writing more and more since I graduated, plays, scripts and even started a book. Jade is doing well in school, though she states she doesn't concentrate because of me constantly being on her mind.

Claire and Bridget have started being friends, though Max isn't happy about it, Jade is very happy about it, as she loves talking to and hanging out with Bridget. Jade did confess to me that she thinks the two older woman have started dating because they do have a lot of dinners together alone. I haven't told the pale girl that I have seen them both molest each other by the front door, after one of those dinners, I don't want her to get her hopes up, I know Jade that is secretly exactly what she is hoping.

I have healed pretty well, though there is a huge horrible scar that reminds me every night that I survived an attempted murder from my girlfriends father. Ted West is in jail, this time not able to pay his way out, both me and Jade pressed charges against him for the night of the car crash and then Jade and her mother pressed charges against him for the night of the beatings. So yeah a long time inside for him.

Right now I am on my way to Hollywood Arts. It's Jade's 17th Birthday and I have an interview to start a workshop, helping young writers get into the business. I know you are wondering, you are only 18 (well turned 19 now my birthday came and went) how can you know anything about teaching. Well like I said, I had been writing and one of my scripts had been picked up for a play and another one had been picked up for a movie. The principal called me instantly asking me how I was able to get that to happen and if I would be able to help in the school once a week for the workshops, I agreed and she told me to come to the school for a quick little interview.

When I get to school, it is eerily quiet, everyone must be in classes. I make my way into the bathroom just to double check my make up and my outfit.

Once everything was straightened out and my lipstick was reapplied, I left the bathroom and continued to the principals office. One my way I passed the lockers, smiling at all my friends and seeing that my locker was still there, all lesbian flag colours splattered on it, next to Jade's. I smile shaking my head and carried forth.

After the 2 hour meeting with the principal, it ended up with me meeting all the faculty like I was royalty, I finally got to the car park, on the way to my car I hear my name being called out.

"Beth! Beth! Come here."

I turn around and I see Cat and Andre waving their arms like mad at me to come over to them. I quickly walk over to them, pulling both their arms down.

"Okay you banshee's, you have my attention, is everything okay?" I ask, bringing in Cat for a massive cuddle, she responded by squeezing my waist harder.

"Jade is a foul mood, she really let Sikowitz have it this morning in class and it made him cry, he cried Beth. " Andre answered, ringing his hands together.

"And this is my problem why?" I ask, whining and throwing my head back.

"You're her girlfriend, you should help us, she will be so happy to see you." Cat answered, squeezing me again.

"Yes this is very true, but have you lot stopped to think what day it is?" I asked again, eyebrow arched.

"Yes." Cat answered and nodded. "And I told her I will be giving her something later."

"No" Andre stated, looking confused.

"I knew I could count on you, Kitty." I whispered to her, kissing her forehead. "Okay, I will stay for a bit and make it obvious for you non-knowing people." I said looking at Andre, while taking a seat at the table, pulling Cat onto my lap. "Where is everyone else?"

"Jade's in the bathroom, Tori and Beck are in the janitor's closet and Robbie was told to stay behind in class." As Cat said this, Tori and Beck took their places at the table.

I raise an eyebrow at the two newcomers, "Janitor's closet, hey?"

"Talking about your girlfriend and her attitude today." Tori answered, biting into a burger.

"Does no one really remember what today is?" I asked, and received shakes of their heads, even Robbie's, who joined the table.

"Wow, Jay needs new friends, Kitty." I state, shaking my head, before placing it on Cat's shoulder.

"Yeah, she really does." I hear Jade's voice behind me. "Hey, Lizzie."

I turn in my seat, Cat still in my lap, opening my arms to my pale girl, "Hey, baby." I look at everyone pointedly, "Happy birthday!"

Jade bent down to hug my tightly, Cat completely between our chests, giggling at being in the middle, "Thank you, Lizzie Lou and thank you, Kitty Cat." Jade responded, kissing me on the lips and Cat on the forehead.

All I heard from the other four was a chorus of, 'Oh shit.'

Thank you again, to every one. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Let me know!
