A/N: So sorry that I took so long to update and I have no excuse for it. This is the last chapter for this story then you can continue reading on Whom Do I love.
It's had been a month since my little fiasco in the Rose Café. I explained it all Connor why I ran out. I was telling the truth but in reality I was only covering the horrible truth of what really happened. I couldn't tell Connor about how he was put under a spell not to love me. What would he do if I did? I didn't want to think Worst Case Scenario of it. Currently I was waiting for a reply from my parents to my letter. I wrote to them saying how Connor and I were an official couple and that I am very happy. I finished my diary entry and was about to walk over the mail department when Elphaba walked in the room.
"Glin there's a letter here from your parents. I was getting mine and Nessa's so I thought I'd get yours too." Elphaba past me the letter; I ripped it open and read its contents.
Glinny
We are glad that you have found love with Connor. Hopefully in a few years or so of dating him, you'll here wedding bells as well. Your cousin Lucy has come to say for a while and would love to see you again. Can you come up this weekend? You can invite Connor along with you too. We await your reply. If so, we'll send a carriage by Friday afternoon. So have everything packed.
Mum & Dad
I would love to come up for the weekend. I eagerly wrote out a response that I would be coming but I left room to add if Connor was coming.
"So what was the letter about?" Elphaba asked me
"My baby cousin Lucy and her family have come to Vinkus to visit us. They've invited me to join them for the weekend. They've also asked if I would like to take have Connor join us so I am going to give him a call." I opened the door and headed down the hall. Turning the corner into the Library I nearly bumped into Nessa. The wicked witch I despised. She was afraid of me and so she should be.
Flashback
After running out of the Rose Café, I realised that I was pouring all my anger and frustration and hurt into the wrong munchkin. I should be maddenly furious with Nessa. She was the problem here. She stuck her grimy hands into hers and Boq's relationship because she wanted him for herself even when Boq didn't love her and she couldn't stand that. She had it coming. And vengeance is a dish best served cold. I stormed over to her room and threw her away from her wheelchair which I destroyed, making her watch. I lifted her up by her hair.
"Now you can crawl for the rest of your life like the filth you are. If you ever try messing with my life again, I'll make sure you never live to see the dawn of the new day." I threw her back down and walked out of the room." My threat worked wonders into her brain for she completely ignored me as if I wasn't alive. She didn't tell a soul about that day and never would. She was terrified of Miss, Miss?"
I turned around to see who was poking me. It turned out to be a freshman. The boy held a letter in his hand
"Can I help you?"
"A man gave this to me to give to you. She said you would who he was and what to do with it?" He gave it to me and walked away. I opened the letter and scanned the contents. I smiled gleefully and ran back to my room.
I arrived at Mardio's Italian restaurant and walked inside. It was quarter to seven.
"Do you have a reservation miss?" A man standing behind a podium asked me.
"Oxley" he scanned the list in front of him and smiled
"Right this way miss" He led me to the draperies opening one where I found Connor sitting at one end of the table. I thanked the man and sat down. Connor leaned over and gave me a sweet kiss.
"Hello beautiful. I'm glad you received my card. I wasn't sure if that boy would find you."
"I received it. How have you been?" I asked
"Good, ever since news got out that you were seen entering Bridal Fairytales, we've had a lot of business." He must have noticed my worried face. "It was that time you came to visit me. Not when Elphaba was with you." I let out a sigh.
"Well that is good news; we'll have to celebrate to that. Have you looked at the menu already?" I asked
"Yes and I think that we have a Fettuccini Cabonara." I nod, Connor calls a waited over and orders our meals. We spend the night talking about the week so far. I tell him how my baby cousin is coming up to visit me and asked him if he wanted to come which he agreed to. After dinner, we went for a walk around the park by the moonlight.
Friday arrived and we were waiting for the carriage to arrive when Boq came over to us. Something must have happened between Connor and Boq because he looked frightened and Connor looked angry but was trying to keep it hidden.
"Can I help you Boq?" I asked politely
"I would like to speak to you, privately." Look threw a glance a Connor then looked back at me.
"Anything you have to say to Galinda, you can say to me." Thankfully before things got out of hand, our carriage arrived and the footman stepped down to put our bags in the carrier.
"Boq, I don't have time to talk. We're leaving to see my family." Boq's face grew cold.
"So you're going to introduce him to your parents. Hoping this relationship will work and you'll have daddy's blessing to get married like you and me or are you going to dump him and move on to some other guy." I couldn't hold back the tears. I opened the door, ready to get in.
"Yeah that's right. Run away Galinda like you always do." I hopped in and turned around to see Connor punch Boq in the face, knocking him down.
"If you ever talk to her like that again, I will personally make sure every bone in your body breaks and never heals." He got in the carriage and we were off.
"Galinda, what did he mean; married like you and I?" I was dreading this. I wanted to tell him at a more comfortable time and place. Not now but I had to.
"You know how I told you about me and Boq breaking up cause off what happened in the hospital?"
"Yeah, he just stopped loving you. Why?" he looked confused.
"I haven't told you the full story. Now before I do, I must ask you to hold your questions until I have finished. Some of it, I've only just found." he nodded and opened my mouth to speak.
"Last year, Boq and I were secretly dating. My parents didn't know about him until they arranged a marriage for me." I continued to speak, telling him about how we broke up cause of the marriage, how Fiyero, Elphaba and Boq came to get me out of the marriage. As I spoke, he never once looked as if he wanted to leave.
"At the stage, I was really upset but then I met you and we became a couple. I was finally over Boq and in love again but Elphaba found out that Boq had been under a spell to forget his love for me. The spell wore off and Boq still thought we were a couple and was hurt by seeing us together. And now I don't know what to do."
"You still love him?" his face dropped.
"Yes. No, maybe. But I love you. Ever since we've been a couple, things have been bad between me and Boq and I can't see myself loving him again. Things have just been so complicated lately. My life was never this hard. Before I met Elphaba, I was just a ditzy blonde who had a perfect life, prefect friends, and the perfect boyfriend. I lived in my small cosy bubble but then it got popped and things aren't perfect anymore."
"Galinda, life isn't meant to be perfect. We all have problems but it's the people we meet who fix them. Before I met you, I was mess. On the outside I may have looked fine, but inside I wasn't. Then I met you and everything changed. We'll get through this together." I hugged him tight and gave him a kiss. When we made it to my house, I could see Lucy waiting with my mum. We had our bags taken in while I walked up to Lucy. She smiled widely when she saw me stretching her arms out to me.
"Gaga!" Seeing how she couldn't say my name properly, she called me by the first to letters of my name. Once I was close enough, mum handed her over to me.
"Hello, Lucy" I gave her a big hug and she squealed. She turned to look at Connor beside me and hid her head by my chest.
"Gaga?" She pointed her tiny arm at Connor but pulled it back immediately.
"This is Connor, Lucy" She turned her head to look at him and produced a small smile.
"Shall we go say hi to mama and dada?" Lucy widened her smile and tug towards the door. I turned to my mother and smiled.
"Mum, this is Connor. My boyfriend." She smiled and gave him a hug.
"So you're the boy who's mended my poor Galinda's heart? I've heard great things about you. Come, we'll get you settled in your rooms." We walked into the house and said hi to everyone. Aunt Katie and Uncle John were happy to see me again. I handed Lucy back over to Aunt Katie and introduced them to Connor. Everyone was happy. Maybe I was better off with Connor. But what about Boq. He was sweet and deserved an explanation. I wasn't sure if he had been told but once he was I would have to make a choice. I would come across that bridge soon but right now, I wanted to spend this weekend in a good way. With my family and my boyfriend.
