09. "I hope you're happy… my friend."

"I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy
My friend…"
Elphaba turned and went towards the window. Suddenly she felt a hand on her arm, and she turned back around.
Glinda stood there, her blue eyes shimmering with tears. "Oh Elphie, I…"
"Y-yes?" Elphaba breathed out, her heart pounding in her ears. She was sure that it was going to burst out of her chest as she looked in the eyes that she loved.
"Elphie, I… I… oh, by Lurline, fuck it!"
Before Elphaba could react (seeing as she'd never heard Glinda swear before) a hand grabbed her head and pulled her lips down into a kiss. Sweet Ozma!
She wrapped her arms around the slim girl in front of her and drew her nearer. The kiss deepened, and Elphaba had half-a-mind to stay with Glinda. But she knew she had to leave. She pulled away and smiled slowly. "Glinda… I won't ever forget you. I love you too."
And Glinda watched as the love of her life flew out the window…
Defying gravity… without her.
