All right chapter 4 of Haunts and Hurts is up. It picks up where Elphaba just kissed Glinda. There will be happy chapters in the future...eventually. :) Read and find out. Anyways onto the story. Enjoy. :)
Glinda made a squeaking noise when Elphaba placed her lips onto her own. Her whole body felt like it was on fire the second Elphaba kissed her. The blonde closed her eyes to be able to kiss back and think how great this has been to have the green witch kiss her. Just as she did that memories of what happened to her flooded her mind. Anger came swiftly as well when she remembered how Elphaba broke her heart and now here the green witch was kissing like nothing happened. Did Elphaba hope that with the hit on her head that she would forget what had happened between them? That was adding fuel to the fire that was erupting inside of her.
Glinda brought one hand, she didn't know which one it was, and hit green flesh as hard as she could. Elphaba cried out in pain as the palm hit her right across the cheek very hard. It actually forced the green witch to break the kiss. The green witch whimpered in pain as she put a hand to the enflamed cheek while casting her brown eyes to Glinda. She lost her breath at seeing the fire burning in the steel grey eyes. Glinda remembered and hates her for what she has done. Elphaba forced back the tears as Sam and Sarah came rushing into the room when they heard Elphaba's voice down the hall.
The two were so overjoyed at seeing Glinda awake in the bed but it quickly went away when they saw the anger in their daughter's eyes. They followed the path and gasped in shock when it landed on Elphaba, who dropped the hand away from her stinging cheek. The whole cheek was a darker shade of green and Sarah and Sam could make out the hand impression Glinda has left on it. They were going to ask Glinda to explain why she would hit Elphaba but the blonde spoke before they could.
"Get out Elphaba. You are the reason I'm in here. Get out. I swear if I see your face or heard that you set foot inside this hospital you will regret it." Glinda threatened in a deadly voice and Elphaba knew that her roommate meant it. Tears were pouring down Elphaba's face at this threat as Glinda's parents watched on in horror. This wasn't Glinda they knew how much she loves Elphaba and now she was sending her away. Elphaba sniffled and turned to Sam and Sarah while her heart was slowing beginning to tear into two.
"She's right. I'm responsible for this. If I didn't break her heart she wouldn't be in this at all. It was nice knowing you for this is the last time I will be seeing you. I must take my leave." Elphaba replied before nodding her head to Sam and Sarah then leaving the room as a shell of the person she once was. Sam and Sarah couldn't wrap their heads around this event. Elphaba just walked out of this room where she was still needed and Glinda was the one who sent her away by saying this was the green witch's fault. But they knew now that Elphaba did have feelings for Glinda that were more then friends as did Glinda but why did Elphaba say that if she didn't break Glinda's heart Glinda wouldn't have been in the hospital. They needed to get down to this.
"Sam, go after to Elphaba. I don't like the fact that she is going to be alone with her injury. She mustn't do anything to aggravate it or it might be worse then the last time. I will stay with Glinda." Sarah said with authority as Glinda felt her anger go away and her interest piqued at hearing Elphaba has an injury that might get worse if she does something that she wasn't suppose to do. The blonde wondered if she was too harsh to Elphaba when she didn't know everything that happened after she was hit by the carriage. Sam nodded his head up and down before leaving the room without saying how glad he was to be seeing his daughter up. He really didn't feel like celebrating it without Elphaba right here to do it and Glinda's reaction to Elphaba has disturbed him a little bit.
"Injury what injury?" Glinda questioned with worry as her father left to go to Elphaba while her mother sat down in a chair. The blonde shrunk away at the withering stare she was getting from her mother. It was obvious that her parents didn't like what she has told Elphaba and no doubt she was going to get it in just a couple of seconds. But Glinda was going to defend herself in why she has made her decision with Elphaba.
"How could you say that to her Glinda?" Sarah questioned in a hard voice to show that she was not pleased at all at how her daughter reacted to her friend. Glinda sighed softly while running her hand through her golden locks. Maybe she overreacted just a little bit but the hole in her heart has never gotten the chance to heal when she saw Elphaba again.
"Momsie, she hurt me badly by ripping my heart in two. If she just said that she would have been with me then I wouldn't have gone out." Glinda explained what was going through her mind at the time Elphaba rejected her. Sarah's lips grew firm at hearing this explanation. Be as that may Glinda can't put all the blame on Elphaba when it was a drunk driver who did more damage then Elphaba will ever do with her heart.
Especially when Elphaba has been trying to make it up to Glinda and maybe the blonde didn't hear what Elphaba had said to her while she was asleep. She and Sam did as they stood by the door to hear what the green witch had to say. The regret was loud and clear in her voice that she wanted to take everything back and make it right. Elphaba just wanted to love Glinda and now she will never get that chance because Glinda has done to Elphaba what the green witch has been desperately trying to fix.
"Glinda, you cannot blame Elphaba for what the driver of the carriage did to you. Elphaba has been racked with guilt ever since she found and she has trying to right that with you but since you said that you lost your chance at true love. I'm surprised and disappointed in you that you are doing something that Elphaba has done nothing but try to right it again. I'm going to get the doctor to check up on you." Sarah shot back as she stood up. She thought she has raised Glinda to be a better person and try to forgive when someone has wronged her. It must not have pushed through hard enough because Elphaba now was the one who was nursing a broken heart. Sarah stopped at the doorway when she heard her daughter calling out to her. Sarah turned her head around with soft, green eyes. She maybe mad at her daughter but she was still going to supportive and care for Glinda.
"What happen to her that the both of you are worried that she might make it worse?" Glinda questioned with worry. She didn't like that Elphaba was hurt and she didn't know about it. Her heart and her head were conflicting heavily inside of her. Her hearts yearns for Elphaba to be here right now and hold her while whispering comforting words or declarations of love. But her head was saying don't forgive the green witch for hurting her, let her feel the same pain she had to go through, and make Elphaba responsible for what has happened with the carriage running over her. Sarah saw the conflict easy in the blue eyes and sighed softly. That was going to be a battle that only Glinda can fight and Sarah hope the right side wins because she wants them to be together. She thinks they would make a lovely couple.
"She got stabbed in the chest while trying to beat up the driver who did this to you. It was all for you Glinda. She could have died because the knife nicked a major blood vessel and all you would have thought about is how she wronged you while she was trying to make things right. Think about that." Sarah answered and parted with some words of wisdom for her daughter to think about while she went to get the doctor that was here. Tears welled in the crystal blue eyes at the thought of Elphaba almost dying and it was for her. The conflict grew worse in the blonde's head at hearing this. Glinda gave a choked sob as she placed a hand over her eyes. She didn't know what to do anymore.

Elphaba was briskly walking outside with the biting wind wiping in her face making her tears sting as they fell down her face. To her she deserved every little pain the wind or anything that has inflicted on her because of what she has done to Glinda. Her worse fears was confirmed when Glinda told her that she was the cause of her injuries and Elphaba believed her wholeheartedly because she thought the same thing Glinda just confirmed it for her. Elphaba poked out her tongue to moisten her dry lips as she tried desperately to get rid of her tears. Both didn't work.
"Elphaba."
The green witch ignored Sam calling out to her as she was about to step off the curb to cross and get away from the hospital as she could. She didn't want to talk to anybody about what happened. She just wants to be alone. What she didn't notice was a carriage coming down the way and wasn't going to be able to stop as she started to put her foot on the ground.
"Elphaba stop." Sam yelled again. Elphaba again ignored the warning as she was oblivious to the surroundings as she was about to take the other step off. The green witch heard the horses snorting and the hooves pounding on the ground. She snapped her head up and her eyes widen at seeing a carriage racing towards. Elphaba didn't move because she was frozen in fear and she thought it was karma finally coming around to bite her in the ass. The carriage got closer and closer to her while the driver was shouting to get out of the way while trying to pull the reigns. Elphaba just stood there until at the last second strong arms wrapped around her waist and yanked her back. The raven haired beauty cried out in pain when one of her legs smashed into the side of the carriage.
She swore she heard bones breaking as Sam pulled her farther away from the site where she could have died. Elphaba whimpered as she clutched her right leg the pain was horrible. She thought she might never walk after that hard hit. Sam had his arms still tightly wrapped around the green witch's body as his heart finally started to slow down. Elphaba wasn't going to get out of the way of the carriage and he feared that he wasn't going to get there on time to save her from doing something she normally wouldn't do if she was in the right state of mind.
"Don't scare me like that. For Oz sake, if anything happened to you if I was late I would never forgive myself." Sam whispered as he rested his head on top of Elphaba's. He closed his eyes and let his tears fall down his face. It was just too close for comfort for him. Elphaba's face was screwed up in massive amounts of pain as her leg throbbed horribly she knew that she has broken something what she didn't know yet.
"Shit, that hurts." Elphaba whispered while trying not to move her leg. The green witch hissed through her teeth when she just shifted her leg just a little bit. She have done more damage then she was thinking. Upon hearing this Sam carefully picked her up then got her in his arms bridal way. Elphaba bit the bottom of her lip at her leg being moved again the pain was intensify and was slightly becoming unbearable.
"Let's get you back to the hospital." Sam whispered as he began to take Elphaba back to the place Elphaba was desperately trying to get away from. The green witch notice this and started to struggle. She was going to do what Glinda wanted her to do and stay the hell away from her. Sam was having a tough time trying to hold onto Elphaba the longer she struggled. If she wasn't moving so much it would be a piece of cake but the flailing of arms and word of protest where getting a little too much.
"Elphaba, stop it now." Sam ordered in a very firm voice, Elphaba gave a small squeak and instantly stopped moving around to listen to what Sam had to say to her. Her brown eyes hesitantly looked up to the person she considered a father to her and gave a sheepish smile. Blue eyes soften at the look as Sam sighed softly. Glinda's words have really hurt Elphaba and now the green witch would rather take the pain then going back to the hospital where she needed to go.
"Fabala, you need help. You can't let what Glinda say hurt you so deeply. She doesn't know what has gone on and what you have been trying to do. Don't give up the chance on true love. I do know Glinda loves you deeply and not because I could sense it from her but by the look in her eyes when ever she sees you. I know that look very well because I've seen Sarah have it when she looks at me and I her. Now I am going to take you back to the hospital so you can get checked out." Sam said softly as he started to carry Elphaba back to the hospital just like he said he would. The green witch laid her head on his chest and listened to his steady heart beat.
She wanted to believe him she really did but hearing those words coming out of Glinda's mouth it cut deeply and she feels like she deserved everyone of them. Her eyes saw the glow of the hospital in the distance and she sighed deeply. It won't be too long before she will be in the same place as Glinda. This was going to be torturous that's for sure. Elphaba just hoped she will be able to make it through without hurting herself or Glinda ever again.
The end of another sad chapter...I know. It will get better later on. I swear it but this needs to happen. It will get fluffier later on. I promise. Until then.
