First, thank you for following and reviewing this story. In this chapter, Sue begins spending more time with Miss Desjardin and Carrie but things get a little awkward. Please review! Will do best to update soon! Know that the rating will likely change for the next chapter because of sexuality and some language.
Sue began hanging out with Carrie and Miss Desjardin a lot more than she thought she would, it was kind of strange at first but she really enjoyed spending time with them. They went from eating ice cream to going to bowling alleys and even doing yoga at their home. She was invited to spend the night one Friday night, she found herself nervous, Miss Desjardin still had that effect on her even when she wasn't being a teacher. Carrie was enthusiastic to have her over and in her room. "You can sleep in my bed!", Carrie said enthusiastically.
"That's okay, I can take the floor."
Miss Desjardin stepped in and injected, "No one's sleeping on the floor, you can both share the bed." Sue wasn't sure if she'd be comfortable sharing the bed, she never had to do that before with anyone; she kept quiet though, it would probably make them both feel bad if she rejected the offer. It wasn't like it was a terrible place to sleep either, much better than her own. After dinner Carrie reminded Sue about something she'd promise her early that week, she wanted her to straighten her hair; Sue had the idea Carrie wanted it to be like her own. She almost forgot that she promised to do this. Miss Desjardin cleared the table, "Do you need any help, Sue?"
"No thanks, I got it", she smiled and took Carrie's hand, leading her to the bathroom. Rita Desjardin was happy to see her guest room being used and by two beautiful girls no doubt. She would spend many lonely nights, normally on a Friday she would be sitting alone at her kitchen table with brown rice, chicken and a glass of red wine to make it seem classy; her table for one. She never found Mister Right, if he was even out there, if he was she would have started her own family by now. In a way, Margaret White's accident was a blessing, as bad as having someone die and becoming her child's new mother figure it was a nice trade. She had to keep reminding herself it wasn't right to love the fact that woman was dead but it was a fact that no one in town found her very pleasant, Carrie still hasn't spoken much about her mother. It wasn't Rita's idea for Carrie to call her mom, Carrie did it on her own, albeit not intentionally, it just slipped out one day. It was the first time they did yoga together, Carrie bumped into an end table that Miss Desjardin thought she had pushed far enough to the end of the room. Carrie banged her knee on the hardwood floor and Miss Desjardin got her an ice pack.
"There, is that better?", she asked after applying pressure.
"Yes, thanks, Mom", Carrie felt embarrassed at first, feeling what she said would make Miss Desjardin feel bad.
"It's okay, you didn't do anything wrong", she placed a hand on Carrie's face, comforting her and then bringing her into a hug, "You can call me that if you want…" Carrie smiled, like the first time she was told she could live with her.
Sue used her straightening iron on Carrie's blonde locks after she made sure to get any knots out with a brush, there were many. "Okay, worst part is over", Sue declared.
"I'm really glad to see you more often", Carrie said, still speaking softly.
"I like seeing you too."
"Do they make fun of you?"
"Does who make fun of me?"
"Your friends? For hanging out with us?"
Sue chuckled, "No."
"They don't know you've been hanging out with us do they?"
Sue thought about how careful she was being, not telling anyone where she was going or spending her free time with, Chris didn't seem to notice at first but did have questions about why she seemed to be ditching her on weekends. "No."
"Good", she was quiet for about a minute until she spoke up again, "I don't want them to treat you like me."
Sue felt guilty about how badly she had been treated and all she ever did was stand off to the side doing nothing, she would always feel so useless. She concentrated on finishing Carrie's hair, which was looking quite good. Carrie looked at herself in the mirror, she had to do a double take because she almost didn't realize it was her. "What do you think?"
"Wow, thank you!", she hugged Sue, forgetting she still had the straightening iron in her hand, Sue held it out of the way. It was getting late and Miss Desjardin was headed to bed.
"Don't make too much noise, you two", she said, leaving them in the living room.
"I think I'm going to go to bed too", Sue said after her second look at the guide on the television.
Carrie wasn't used to be being left alone, especially at night, "I'll come too." Both girls lied in bed, Sue was facing away from Carrie. "Sue, are you still awake?"
Sue had her eyes closed, "Mhmm."
"There was something I wanted to ask you."
Sue opened an eye but didn't turn around, she stayed where she was, ready to pass out, "What is it, Carrie?"
Carrie was embarrassed, she really waned to ask her a serious question, "Nothing", she chicken out and went further under the covers, Sue fell asleep not long after.
In the morning:
"Wow, those are so big!", exclaimed Carrie.
"Yeah, you like 'em?", Miss Desjardin asked.
"Yes", admired Sue, "They're really tight."
Miss Desjarin was letting the girls grope her biceps after Sue questioned how much she could bench press, though she was only joking at first. Miss Desjardin was seated on the couch, flexing her arms while both girls felt her up.
"Do you think we'll ever look this good?", Carrie asked, almost laughing.
"I can see that happening", Miss Desjardin smiled. She put a foot up on the bench and let Carrie feel a calf muscle. Sue didn't realize what time it was, she should probably be heading home soon so that her mother didn't think she had skipped town.
"It doesn't look like anyone's home."
"Well they leave a key out for me, I'll be fine."
"Check and make sure, I don't want to drive off and find out we've left you stranded here." Sue took her bag and checked the porch for the spare house key, normally it would be under a flower pot but she couldn't find it. She stood there with her arms on her sides, thinking of where else it could be. She ran to the back of the house to see if maybe the backdoor had been left unlocked at the off chance but no and she still couldn't find the key. Miss Desjardin and Carrie saw how distraught she looked.
"Maybe you'll have to break a window!", Carrie suggested.
"No one's breaking any windows. Sue, come with us, we'll check back later." Sue obliged and they drove back to Miss Desjardin's. Sue sighed, looking out the window, still seeming distressed. Miss Desjardin placed a and on top of her bare knee, "Don't worry, I'm sure one of them will be back later."
"Everything's different now, they don't want me there."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"Not really, I'm so sick of it all. He wants me gone before graduation…" Carrie wanted to say something but just stayed quiet and let Miss Desjardin talk to her, she would likely have a better answer. "I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know where to go."
"Did you talk with the guidance councillor about colleges?"
"No. I still don't really know what to do and everyone I know will be out of state."
"Listen, Sue, if you need help, you can always stay with us."
Sue looked away from the window, "I really don't want to do that…not that I wouldn't want to but, I think I need to figure this out on my own."
Miss Desjardin smiled, "That's good to hear."
Sue was spending the night again after she tried several times to call her mom, she was getting worried until she received a voice mail saying she was out for the whole weekend and said she swore she left the key out; Sue had a good idea who made sure the key wasn't there. "If you live here with us, you'll have your own bed", Carrie said as they were getting ready in the bathroom.
Sue laughed, "It is a tempting offer."
Carrie was still trying to bring up the nerve to ask Sue, but still wasn't sure about it, she swallowed hard, "Sue…I…"
"What is it? Is it what you wanted to ask me last night? It can't be that bad", Carrie looked down at the floor, "What is it, Carrie? Is it about your mom?" When Sue had first heard word that Margaret White's car went off the road she wondered if Carrie was in the car, which was a stupid question seeing as this happened during school and Carrie was sitting to tables down from her. She knew Carrie was still going through trauma, but she wasn't really used to this kind of thing, both of her parents were still alive even though she hardly got to see them anymore.
"Do…do you…Do you ever touch yourself?"
Carrie looked her right in the eye, Sue wasn't sure how to react, Carrie White just asked her if she ever touched herself, like in a dirty way and she did what she could to hold back laughter, "WHAT?"
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked!", Carrie tried to leave the bathroom, pushing Sue out of the way but Sue stopped her.
"Carrie, wait! It's okay…I mean, I've never done anything like that but…have you asked Rita?"
"It's too weird asking her."
"Well…", Sue wasn't sure now if talking about her dead mother would be a worse thing to talk about, "It's normal…everyone does it I suppose."
"I've just been having feelings and I've thought about doing it but…I shouldn't have said anything", She almost looked like she was about to break down crying.
"Wait, just give me a minute, I'll be right back." Sue went to find Miss Desjardin for help, she knocked on her bedroom door.
"Sue? What's wrong?", she saw how worried she looked.
"Um…", Sue did her best to describe what Carrie had just revealed to her.
She thought she would be understanding since she did teach health class for girls, Carrie wasn't at attendance at the time because her mother had forbid it, "Okay, well, this is something you'll have to show her."
Sue wasn't sure how to take this, "What do you mean?"
"Sue, Carrie looks up to you. You're like a sister, she's coming to you because you're closer to her age and you know things about boys."
"But I've never…"
Miss Desjarin took a breath, "I will write down a website. Tell Carrie that she can look at it when she thinks that she's ready and it will show her what to do." She went into her room and wrote down the URL and gave Sue the piece of paper. Sue saw the name and was relieved because at first she thought her teacher was giving her access to a porn site, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I thought at first you were giving me a porn website", she laughed a little but Miss Desjardin didn't look the least bit amused.
"Why would I give you a porn website?", she seemed a little disgusted, folding her arms and giving Sue that look she was all too familiar with in class.
"I-I don't know, I just…"
"Sue, I would never give you or Carrie a site to look up that. I mean if you want to look at that, you can look at it on your own time!"
Sue wasn't expecting any of this when she woke up that morning, she really wanted to be out of this situation, "Sorry, Mom, okay, I just thought it was funny that you were writing down a website to help a girl masturbate!"
Miss Desjardin smiled, almost laughed, "Did you just call me Mom?"
"Huh?", Sue had no idea what she just said, "No, why would I call you…", then she laughed.
"Well, you are spending a lot of time over here."
"Okay, just give me the address", Sue said with her hand out, she took the paper and Miss Desjardin was still laughing even after she went back into her bedroom and closed the door.
When Sue was back with Carrie she saw that Carrie was at the computer, "What were you laughing about?"
"Oh…I called her Mom."
Carrie laughed, "Why did you do that?"
"I don't know it just slipped out, maybe because I've been hanging around you guys too long."
Carrie stopped laughing, "You're not leaving us, are you?"
"No, just…here", she placed the piece of paper on the keyboard.
"Oh, thanks, but I already found something."
"What? But I just…", she couldn't believe she went all through that for nothing, Carrie had her own computer so of course she could do this all by herself.
"I'll use this too."
"You weren't looking up porn were you?"
"What? Adult stuff? No, I wouldn't do that."
"Okay, but you're also not going to do your business right here, right?"
"Don't worry, Sue, I'll do it when I'm alone."
Sue shuddered as she went to lie in bed, a little creeped out that Carrie was still on the computer looking up stuff that she wasn't clear on. Maybe she did need to take a break and see Chris and her friends next weekend.
More coming soon! See what they will get into next time!
