PS sorry it took so long. I've been on vacation then started school.
On that note Galinda couldn't take it. That voice, in its deep husky sexy tone, that hair cascading down her back, that emerald glowing skin, those eyes, it all was driving her mad. She needed to get away.
She knew this was wrong even if it felt so right. She stood up and rushed to make it to the bathroom to throw up, take a shower or pleasure herself. She would decide when she got into there right now she new she couldn't be near Elphie.
Elphie just sat there and watched as Galinda jumping up very flustered, a pained look on her face. She watched as she saw the bathroom door slam behind the girl and then soon heard gagging from inside the room and the shower being turned on.
When she didn't hear anything but the shower for a few minutes she decided she couldn't wait any longer and decided to go ask if everything was ok.
She opened the door slightly, preparing herself for what she was going to say, but she wasn't prepared for what she heard. Coming from the shower she heard a low moaning sound she was sure was coming from the petite blonde. But she had never heard a sound like that coming from Galinda.
She suddenly felt panicked. 'Was Galinda in pain? Was she hurt? Did she need medical help?'
Before Elphie could think what to do she opened the door fully and stepped inside, walked over to the curtain and was about to open it when she heard her name mixed with the moan. 'Oh no, the girl needs my help'
But just before she was about to open the shower curtain Galinda heard her and stopped immediately what she was doing. "Elphie what the fuck are you doing in here!" Galinda snapped, "Can't you see I'm taking a shower? Don't I get any privacy! Sweet Oz, why would you barge in on me?"
Elphie stunned at the sudden turn in events just stood there for a moment not sure how to continue she listened to the shower pelting Galinda and Galinda's uneven breathing. Elphie was so unbelievably confused. "I'm in here because I thought you were in trouble…umm in pain…"
"Why the hell would you think that?"
"I heard you Moaning or something. And then I thought I heard my name so I just thought you needed me or something."
Galinda suddenly felt all the blood rush to her face, "I'm fine Elphaba, I don't need you. Just please get out so I can finish my shower" Galinda said coldly.
A very bemused Elphie left the bathroom and sat on her bed. She thought of back to what could have led them to where they were. Where were they? What were they? Where they friends? Well from Galinda's tone two minutes ago she didn't think so. But friends got into fights. Could she even called that a fight? Elphie wasn't mad and didn't both participants need to be mad? 'Well Galinda sure was mad,' she thought.
'And why had Galinda been moaning? Why had she said her name if she didn't need her? Why had Galinda snapped at her so meanly?' Nothing made sense anymore. She needed to talk to Galinda. She needed to just sit down with her and explain to her everything. All the strange feelings she's been feeling since she met the blonde.
That was the plan until Galinda walked in the room and Elphie knew by the expression on her face, she didn't want to talk. She didn't look like she was mad per say, more like she was shocked and embarrassed. She may have been a little annoyed, but not quite mad.
Galinda looking down at the bed almost whispered, "I'm very tired and am going to bed." She turned down her lamp and crawled into bed never looking at Elphie until she was safely tucked into her covers. She peeped over at Elphie who was just staring at her.
"Oh for Oz's sake, what is it?" Galinda asked now very annoyed.
"What was going on in there?" Elphie couldn't stand when she was confused. She was rarely confused and it seemed like the more she hung around with Galinda the more confused she became.
"None of your goddamn business!" Galinda said now sitting up. Elphie wasn't going to let this lie so there was no use in pretending to fall asleep.
Elphie shocked by the blonde's sudden outburst sat there stunned. What could she say to this?
Galinda seeing the shock on Elphie's face lightened up. 'oh Galinda its not her fault your in love with her. She didn't do anything… wait a second… in love with her? No she couldn't be. She was a woman and Elphie was a woman. There for love was not an option. She could love Fiyero or even Boq, but not Elphie. Then why did she feel her heart lighten whenever she saw her friend enter a room? " Just go to sleep Elphie. I'll explain everything to you in the morning when I'm not so tired." Yah this would buy her time. It would buy her the night. Tonight was not going to be spent to sleep but to figuring out exactly what was going on with her and Elphie.
She watched as the green girl slowly and cautiously slipped down into her own bed, never taking her eyes off Galinda.
Galinda could still not meet her eyes. She knew that if she did she could definitely not hold back her love. She had trouble holding it back as she watched Elphie's hand grab the covers, lifting them back, and sliding into bed. Elphie's nightgown came up underneath the covers and Galinda got a small glimpse of green skinned leg and had to look away and pretend to focus on climbing back into her own bed and wrapping herself in the protective covers. She watched as Elphaba drifted off to sleep.
She lay there many hours until she finally admitted that the only thing that made sense to her was that she was head over heals in love with Elphaba Thropp. Finally satisfied with herself she drifted off into the dream world filled with her green roommate.
……………………………………………………………..
Elphie drifted in her dream world to the scent of lavender. She saw her beautiful Galinda with little white flowers in her hair, wearing a beautiful white flowing dress. She smiled at Elphie and turned to walk deeper into the woods. Then she paused and turned her head back. Elphie caught a twinkle in her eye as she turned and started walking again. Elphie knew she wanted her to follow and was not about to deny her.
She started to follow but felt a hand grab her from behind. She felt large rough fingers curl over her stomach and push down into her flesh. She wanted to cry out but knew she couldn't. She knew he would hurt her if anyone heard. He would possibly kill her and she wasn't willing to take that chance. She knew what was coming, it wasn't the first time he had taken her body and vandalized it for his own pleasure.
…………………………………………………………….
Galinda woke to an uneasy feeling in her stomach she knew something was wrong. More specifically she knew something was wrong with Elphie.
She looked over to see an abandoned bed and suddenly grew very nervous. She got up in a panic and looked around. She called out Elphie's name and heard a soft strangled sound come from the corner in the room. She ran over to see Elphie huddled in the corner, her body shaking her skin looked almost white, well almost.
Galinda threw herself at Elphie and covered her shivering body with her own warm arms. She wanted to make Elphie feel safe, she didn't know what was wrong with her. All she knew is her own body felt hurt and violated and she couldn't explain why.
She didn't want to ask what was wrong though afraid that Elphie would only get worse. She sat there and rubbed up and down Elphie's arms trying to sooth her. It seemed to slow the shaking so she took it as working.
Suddenly she heard a voice. It sounded like Elphie's only shaky and vulnerable, yet stern and steady, almost not quite there. "I had another dream. It started out so good. You were there and you looked stunning."
Galinda blushed a little but let Elphie continue. This was no time to discuss them.
I wanted to follow you so badly. Then he grabbed me and dug his nails into my skin. I can still feel his hands there on my stomach. He always was ruff with me when we were together in my room. I never wanted him there. I never wanted him to touch me the way he did. I couldn't stop him. It was the only way he'd ever touch me. He said it was the only way he could ever love me.
Galinda had now buried her head in Elphie's nightgown. Tears streaming down her face. She hated to ask but had to, "who Elphie?"
"My… my father." Elphie said closing her eyes. She could not hold back her own tears any longer and they burned as they rolled down her face reminding her of how much of a freak she was.
Galinda just held her tighter. She let go with one arm burrowing her body as close to Elphie as possible. She lifted her free arm up and wiped away Elphie's tears and gingerly kissed the marks left behind showing her vulnerability. They were past awkwardness and Elphie needed her the way she needed to be needed by Elphie. She burrowed her head back down into Elphie's chest and listened to her heartbeat allowing Elphie to continue.
"He started coming up to my room, after dark and after everyone went to bed, after mom died. It was the only time he ever touched me…. When he was done he would say it didn't matter because I wasn't a person anyway. I was a freak…I am a freak."
"No Elphaba. You are anything but a freak. You are beautiful and smart and sharp and kind…. and…and I love you." She closed her eyes and kissed Elphie's tear stained cheeks again and again until she had made her way down and kissed Elphie's chin then slowly made her way to soft dark lips. They touched lightly but felt a spark between them. She suddenly felt all of her body float into her lips as they parted allowing a soft tongue access to her own.
She would have continued further but she was so tired she couldn't hold herself up anymore and allowed her head to fall on Elphie's chest. Just before she drifted off to sleep she heard a soft voice whisper. "I love you too Galinda." And she smiled because she knew whose whisper it belonged to.
