Chapter 56: The SpyDelilah St. Louis could be many things. She was a clever girl, with the most amazing grades and a higher IQ than the average one. Her beauty was undeniable, no one had ever made her feel like she was not cute enough, she even had 'pretty privilege' when she went to parties and social events in comparison to her other friends. She was always offered drinks and let into places for free. She was independent, she had moved away from her house when she was just sixteen and had multiple jobs ever since without anyone's help. Delilah was hardworking, bright, impressive, reliable, punctual, and many other things, but she was not dumb. Yes, she could act as if she was dumb and make people think they could trick her, yet she always knew when something was not right, when something was not true. She could almost smell lies from miles away. Liz and she had started dating many months ago, she could not even count how many months they had been seeing each other with her fingers
Chapter 57: FlyingLiz's mom had always made sure her daughter knew that nothing was impossible, every single thing she wanted was achievable if she tried hard enough. And, for a while, Liz believed her. She was always a happy child, the creative one, with her head in the clouds and always having fun, nothing could ever be ruined for her, she always found ways to make every situation she was in like a daydream. Until one day she discovered the one thing that she could not do: flying. She was seven and was looking at the sky with Gigi laying next to her when the idea of flying appeared in her mind. She had run to where her mom was, at the kitchen preparing the most delicious cookies for them, and told her that she had found the one impossible thing she was never going to able to do: flying.Her mom found the situation too adorable to crush her daughter's dreams so she told her that if Liz tried hard enough, one day, she was going to be able to fly. However, she warned, she did not hav
Chapter 58: Flashback"You seriously need to stop kissing me". Gigi warned with a high-pitched voice while she tried to pull Liz's face away from hers with a big smile on her face. "Why would I do that?" Liz complained and tried to kiss her girlfriend once again.They were sixteen lying on Gigi's bed on a normal Tuesday night. Gigi's mom did not like people staying over during weekdays but always made an exception when it came to Liz. Everything was an exception when it came to Liz. "Because it's late and we need to sleep." Liz was not buying that. She knew Gigi was going through something, and had been going through it for the whole day but was not willing to share it with her. "Gigi, it's me, you can tell me anything, you know?""How do you know me so well?" Gigi half-complained and turned to her left to face Liz. "What if someday you ever stop loving me?" She threw that thought so fast to Liz that the orange-haired had to think if she had heard that correctly. "Is that what got
Chapter 1: Welcome To HeavenAfter three long years, Gigi Geffrey was back in Illinois. For some people, that was definitely good news, amazing news. It meant that an angel was back on its birth place: heaven. For some others, the vast majority, that meant the devil was back in action. If someone asked Gigi which group she thought it was the most accurate one, she would not know what to answer. Although three years seemed like a long time to her, it was not enough time for some of the open wounds she had left to completely heal. In fact, she had not even forgiven herself for what she did before she left. However, she could not describe the positive energy that went through her body as soon as the plane landed at her hometown. The flight, as she had imagined, sucked. She had to deal with a crying baby sitting next to her, a two-year-old brunette girl who did not have enough hours of sleep and wanted to ruin everyone else's sleeping hours, and a lady sitting behind her who s
Chapter 2: Liz When Gigi opened the front door of her house, she confirmed once again that inside of it nothing had changed either. The same white walls were there along with the same photographs of her hanging on them, she felt free. The chandeliers above of her lighted the whole place and the luxurious furniture was almost perfectly settled. Without waiting, she almost ran upstairs to where her old room was located. Obviously, that room hadn't changed at all. Her room used to be her favorite place in the world. She did not care about the horrible pink walls that she had picked when she was seven or about the photos that reminded her of people that she would rather forget, she felt happy there. Her bed was undone, her books beside it weren't in order and her wardrobe seemed to be not that well closed, so Gigi immediately noticed that her mom had decided to leave everything as Gigi left it the morning she travelled to Los Angeles. The normal thing would be that Gigi did not miss an
Chapter 3: After All These Years"It's Joan's birthday today. I thought I told you that over the phone last week?" Yes, her mom had probably told Gigi about it over the phone last week, but the truth was that those days Gigi had a lot of things on her mind and listening to her mom, unfortunately, was not one of them. Was she ready to see Liz again? Absolutely no. She needed days of preparation for that, not just ten minutes. Gigi had recurring fantasies about seeing Liz again. She enjoyed making up scenarios in her head about how it was going to be once she saw her person again. In some of them, she just ignored Liz and pretended to not know her so she would believe Gigi is a badass, and in others Gigi just cried in Liz's arms and begged her to take her back. None of them was going to happen that day. The Monrae's house hadn't changed at all eighter. The place was way more calmed? than her house. They were no specific words to describe it, maybe 'special'. Not so well constructed an
Chapter 4: Is Liz Around?Gigi's friends had really changed a lot. Their faces seemed more mature with more accentuated expressions and they had grown a few inches. They looked really hot and Gigi thought that if it wasn't because she considered them almost as sisters, she would try to make a move on any of them. Truth was, Gigi really had missed them so much. Every time she wanted to talk to someone, she thought about them but she did not dare to pick up the phone and call them because she was sure they hated her guts and they had enough reasons not to do so. She left Illinois out of nowhere and broke a couple of hearts on the way. There was no way they weren't mad at Gigi. However, she hugged them really tight and felt that the love was mutual. They did not waste any time and as soon as the greetings were over, they started catching up with Gigi. She told them about LA and her new life and they told her about what she had missed about them and about new gossips going around. No one
Chapter 5: Hello!"Oh! Liz is heading over here!" Gigi's mom sounded delighted to see her 'second daughter' and even tightened the way she was holding Gigi's hand. Gigi had this conspiracy theory where her mom loved Liz more than herself. When she told that theory to Liz, she roared with laughter. But, in Gigi's head, it made sense. If she ever did any of the things Liz did, her mom wouldn't have been really pleased no matter how open-minded or understanding she was. Every step Liz took closer to Gigi felt like an eternity, almost like if she was walking in slow motion. Gigi's hands were uncontrollably shaking and her brain was not working correctly, as if she couldn't even react in the way she wanted to. Why did Liz still had that effect on her?"Hi!" Liz stood in front of Gigi's table and they all shared an uncomfortable silence. Gigi did not know what to answer, even though it was a pretty easy thing."Liz! I haven't seen you in two months I almost felt like I was never going to s
