Chapter 8: The truth in the illusions
"I object!" The church became quiet. Everyone turned around and turned their eyes to Fiyero Tiggular. He didn't want to do this, he never wanted to do it. It was something he just did. Elphaba was standing in front of the church. She turned to him, her eyes were teary. Filled with a certain joy or panic. It came from the event. Fiyero stepped towards Elphaba, Glinda's eyes of jealousy went right to his soul. He had never seen such a mad eyes.
"Elphaba, I love you." Fiyero took her hand. "I am in love with you! 100% jump of a cliff, beat up the guy you're with in love. And he might love you, Elphaba. But I love you more, you are my soul mate!" "Why are you saying this now Fiyero?" Elphaba stared at him. "Why now? You couldn't have said anything before this guy told you to speak now!"
"Elphaba! Fea…" He turned to her. "Tell me you love me to."
"Fiyero…" he turned to her.
"Elphaba…" Fiyero smiled "Fea. Tell me you love me, like a I love you. Please, I will take care of the child. I will take be a father to this child. I will love the baby like I love you. Fea, tell me you love me. You would make me so happy. Please, my Fea."
"Fiyero…" Elphaba had tears in her eyes.
"Elphaba."
"FIYERO!" For a moment he opened his eyes. He was standing in the back of the church, he didn't see hate in Glinda's eyes. And Elphaba was looking to him in a way he had never seen before. Fiyero turned around. He could say what he felt about her. His exact feelings. He stared at Elphaba, his eyes were fixated on her eyes. He couldn't understand what feeling he recognize in her eyes. Why was he still staring at her?
"I'm so sorry about my Fifi." Glinda pulled him to her seat. "He's always late."
"It's okay…" the priest said. "Can we continue?"
"Why wouldn't we?" Glinda smiled
Fiyero stared at Elphaba, he could read a certain disappointment in her face. Was it because he hadn't objected? Did she want him to? Was she in love with him to? Fiyero listened to the words of the minister. Fiyero stared at Glinda, she pulled his hand in hers. Fiyero didn't feel like keeping her hand in his. He did it anyway. The words of marriage bounded Nathaniel and Elphaba together, and he just sat there. He didn't do anything. His mind told him to speak. Nothing in his body reacted. He just sat there, love in his heart. Love that wouldn't come out. Was it his need to be a good man speaking? Was Glinda right? Why didn't he want to harm Glinda? He didn't love her. Why would she stay with him? He turned to Glinda. Her eyes were on Glinda's. He let everything come to him. Right now he couldn't change anything anymore. She was married to Nathaniel Upland.
As soon as the wedding was over, Glinda ran from the room. The church had negative memories for her. She walked from the church to the field. She opened up her arms and stared at the night sky. She screamed out words of frustration, anger and jealousy. She let everything out. Everything she had been keeping in. What happened to the world? A world where Elphaba married a perfect guy and enchanted the mind of her boyfriend. Her boyfriend loved her best friend. And yet she didn't hate Elphaba. Not once did she give Fiyero a reason to fall for her. She knew her friend would turn him down. But that wouldn't stop Fiyero's love. She lost it. The tears fell to the grass.
"Glinda?" A voice came from behind her.
"Fiyero?" Glinda turned around. She noticed that Boq was standing behind her. "Boq?"
"It's.." Boq smiled "I'm so used to you getting it wrong. So…"
"Look at me, Boq!" Glinda screamed "I'm a mess! Is there anything I don't have? I mean I am pretty, I'm popular and yet Fiyero falls for my friend! I mean Elphaba is cute, but I'm…"
"Glinda, there are people that care for you…" Boq turned to her. "Like me."
"Well, off course Boq." Glinda turned to him. "Everyone has always loved me as a friend. I've always been liked. Elphaba is so different, she enchants people with her words, with her eyes. She can be whoever she is, and there will be people who adore her for it. Most people hate her, but still she gets everything! If she wants she could have Fiyero!"
"Glinda, .." Boq turned to her. "I can say people love you. Because I love you…"
"Stop it Boq!" Glinda smiled "You know how to make me feel better."
"Miss Glinda, I love you." Boq spoke "And not in a friend way, I love you in a romantic way. A take my breath away love. I would do anything for you, Glinda. I will listen to you, I will be there for you."
"That's…" Glinda turned to him. "Fiyero has been so jealous of Elphaba, that he hasn't spent any time with me. And when he does, he doesn't care. It's all my fault!
"It's not Glinda!" Boq took her hand. "It's not your fault! You can't help Fiyero doesn't see how wonderful you are! You are wonderful, Lin."
Glinda stared at Boq. It was refreshing to notice that someone cared for her after all this while. The lack of attention from Fiyero made her feel sad and everything. She slowly pulled Boq's hand towards her. She didn't know why she did it. She just did, she felt like hugging him to. She knew this would be the only attention she would be getting. Boq stared in her eyes, it almost seemed like she was seeing him for the first time. She smiled for a moment. Boq slowly hang closer, he put his hand on her cheek. Electricity went through her body. She hadn't felt this way in weeks. Maybe not even when Fiyero had stared at her. Why did Boq do this to her? Why had she never watched him?. And if she had, she hadn't seen him in a clear light. She noticed Boq put his other hand on the back of her neck. He slowly pulled her towards him and let his lips meet hers for just a moment. When she parted she stared at his eyes, and only then she saw Fiyero. He was standing right there, his eyes were turned to her. Glinda knew Fiyero had seen it.
"Fiyero…" Glinda let her popularity take over. She ran after Fiyero.
"Fiyero, talk to me!" Glinda pulled his arm.
"What do I have so say?" Fiyero turned away. "We will talk about this, but not right now."
"Not right now?" Glinda stared at him. "I kissed Boq. And you are calm, you show no sign of jealousy. I am you girlfriend. Elphaba kisses her boyfriend and you beat him. "
"Calm down, don't steal Elphaba's thunder!" Fiyero turned to her.
: "Wait, what, you're not going to yell at me? Call me names?" Glinda had tears in her eyes. "Aren't you going to beat up Boq? I am you girlfriend! Do you even care?"
"What the hell do you want Glinda?"
" I want you to care. I kiss Boq and you walk away. What do I have to do? Oh, I know. Maybe I should paint myself green and kiss my brother, because that's what it seems to take to send you into a blind rage. But wait, that won't work either because I'm not Elphaba Thropp."
"Glinda, you are over reacting!" Fiyero turned to her. "You kissed another guy! I didn't do anything, and yet you're the one yelling at me!"
"I wasn't the one cheating first!" Glinda yelled "In your mind you've been cheating for months now! You've been moaning her name, you've been telling you love her! I want you to moan my name in your sleep and yet the only name I hear is :'Fea'. I love you Fea. I've been trying so hard to keep Elphaba away from you…"
"You what?" Fiyero turned to her. "You knew all along? About my, you did this.."
"Off course…" Glinda turned to her. "You're mine."
"I don't think you know what love feels like, miss Glinda." Fiyero took a step closer. "You talk about me like your property. I'm not. I'm not anyone's. I chose who to love…"
"Fiyero, we can get over this.."
"If I loved you, I would agree." Fiyero spoke "But I'm not in love with you. When I saw you kissing Boq, I didn't care. I was happy for you. Glinda, you disserve to be loved."
"Fiyero, but I love you…" Glinda turned to him.
"Do you really?" Fiyero turned to her. "If you loved me, you wouldn't have settled for half of my heart. You would have want every piece of it. You would have confronted me, you didn't do all of those things out of love. You did it because you were selfish."
"Elphaba gets everything!" Glinda screamed "She has my brother and her baby. She's never going to pick you. It's his child!"
"Glinda, you should never settle for mister right enough." Fiyero turned away. Leaving Glinda there. Anger had taken a hold of her body. It was the first time that her plan had blown up in front of her. Everything she said, made her look like a bad guy. She sunk to her knees. Tears appeared in her eyes. Why did it hurt so much? Even if Fiyero wasn't the love of her life. Maybe it was Boq. Maybe she should have let her heart speak. Glinda thought about Fiyero. About how she had taken Elphaba away from him. She smiled, technically she hadn't. Her brother and Elphaba were meant to be. The tears kept going.
"Glinda…" Elphaba stepped towards her. "Lin, what's wrong?"
"Fiyero and I are over…" Glinda turned to her. She saw how Elphaba's face changed. Elphaba put an arm around Glinda and pulled her in a tight hug. She slowly listened to Glinda's tears.
"It's going to be okay…" Elphaba spoke "In a year you won't remember Fiyero anymore."
"He…" Glinda paused "He.."
"He doesn't matter." Elphaba stared at her. "You're going to find someone else. Someone who's going to love you. Someone…"
Elphaba pulled Glinda in a hug. She noticed that the tears go worst as Elphaba pulled her closer. She whispered words that everything was going to be okay. Glinda loved her best friend. Glinda was her best friend. Fiyero had hurt her.
"What happened?" Elphaba turned to Glinda.
"I.." Glinda turned to her. "I kissed Boq."
"Boq?" Elphaba raised an eyebrow. "You know his name?"
"He kissed me.." Glinda smiled "And I felt something. Something amazing."
"Maybe he's the one." Elphaba smiled
"Maybe Fiyero was right…" Glinda smiled "I shouldn't settle for mister right enough."
"You shouldn't, Glinda.."
Elphaba smiled for a moment. She turned to Nathaniel, her husband. For the people the story was clear, Elphaba was going to have Nathaniel's baby. The truth was different, Fiyero Tiggular was the father of the unborn child. She turned towards Nathaniel and pulled him in a tight hug. His arms fell around her. He placed a kiss on her forehead.
"So my parents have the best doctor.." Nathaniel spoke "They have this new technique to see the baby. It's some kind of spell, don't worry it's not dangerous.."
"Spells are always dangerous.." Elphaba spoke
"No, it's not a spell." Nathaniel spoke "It's an object the wizard took from the world. He calls it magic, but I don't think it is. He calls it an ultrasound, we could see if the baby's okay."
"The baby.." Elphaba put her hand on her stomach. "You're sure, he or she won't have diamonds."
"I'm sure…" Nathaniel smiled "And if her or she does have them, we'll find a way to explain it away."
"Can we go there right away?" Elphaba turned to him. "I want to know the baby's okay.."
Elphaba followed Nathaniel, he told her they were going to their doctor right away. Nathaniel put his arms around him, they walked through the streets of Gilikin, people stared after them. It was almost they didn't believe they were a couple. Like it was impossible for a handsome guy to love her. But ye did. Nathaniel love her with his full heart, she was his heart. She pulled him closer. She noticed how his harm fell around her shoulders.
"What are we going to name the baby?" Elphaba turned to Nathaniel. "I like Alissa for a girl."
" I like Walker for a boy." Nathaniel admitted "Walker is a beautiful name."
"I like it.." Elphaba kissed Nathaniel. "I love the name."
"I hope it's a girl." Nathaniel kissed her again. It was almost like he couldn't get enough of it. He put his arm around her shoulders once more again. "Glinda's doing better.."
"It's for the better.." Elphaba smiled "She disserves someone that is right for her. Like I have you."
"Like you have me…" He smiled
Elphaba and Nathaniel walked in the room. The doctor had been notified they were coming, Elphaba smiled. He didn't seem to have a smile on her face. She lay down on the table. She could hear the man say something, but she was focused on the small orb. The orb would show her baby. The baby she was going to love. In her mind she started to think about Fiyero. Especially since he broke up with Glinda. She didn't know why they broke up. Slowly she turned to the orb.
"I can hear two separate heart beats…" Nathaniel turned to her.
"Two separate heart beats?" Elphaba pulled Nathaniel's hand closer. "Twins?"
"Yes, twins." The doctor pointed to the screen. She could see the babies on the screen. Elphaba noticed how a smile appeared on Nathaniel's face, the same that appeared on her name. In his mind it was their baby. Elphaba pulled his hand closer.
"Our twin.." Nathaniel put his hand on her stomach.
"Our twin…" Elphaba kissed him.
"Elphaba, when we go back to Shiz, we'll be sharing a suite." Nathaniel smiled "You don't have to do it right away. If you want to keep sharing with Glinda. It's okay.."
"It's okay…" Elphaba kissed him. "I love you."
"I love you too." Elphaba didn't know if she felt the same way. She only knew that she wanted him to think he loved her. She knew that one day, it could grow to love. One thing was sure, she loved the twin for 100%.
Fiyero turned to his reflection. Why he didn't love the person in the mirror didn't make sense? He noticed how breaking up with Glinda, had not changed anything. Elphaba was married. Glinda confessed that it was her idea. That she had pulled Elphaba away from him. She had known about his love all the time. Yet, she had kept him as a possession. Fiyero didn't feel anger towards her, both of them were wrong. He had caused her pain. Being mad at her was something he couldn't do. He was sitting outside, he was looking at the road.
Elphaba and Nathaniel made their way from the hospital. They were having a baby, and it was written all over their faces. He hoped that Elphaba would be having his child, that he would be her husband. Yet nothing seemed to work out. He shouldn't be mad with Glinda. He didn't have the guts to speak up. He watched by as the love of his life was stolen from underneath him. He slowly stood up and followed around the happy couple. He almost felt like a stalker. He saw how Nathaniel and Elphaba parted ways.
Fiyero took it as an opportunity to step towards Elphaba. He gently took her arm and pulled her in the door. There was no one there.
"Fiyero?" Elphaba turned away from her. "What are you doing?"
"I want to talk about something…" Fiyero took her hand. "I need to talk to you.."
"No, Fiyero." Elphaba stepped away.
"Elphaba Thropp, I'm in love with you." Fiyero spoke "I told you in one of my fantasies. In the church, and I objected. I don't know if you got married…"
"Stop it Fiyero." Elphaba stepped away.
"You're my soul mate." Fiyero put his arms around her. "Please, you're my one."
"Stop it Fiyero…"
"Please, Elphaba." Fiyero turned to her. "I am in love with you, and I'll help you take care of the baby. I.."
"Fiyero…" Elphaba turned away.
"Please…" Fiyero took her hand. "Pick me, choose me, love me."
