Our Secrets ((GxG))

[Memster101]

((That productive xD I'm jealous. And yeahh, I'm just really tired and would have preferred to stay home >< But that's no good about your computer! What was it doing??))


Could Mir take another round of questioning? Had I done the right thing by telling them? They did to know but what if it only hurt Mir worse in the end... She was already going to have to go throw who knew how many more interrogations, especially if the man was found. Pushing a hand through my hair, I tried to follow Rosaline's advice, taking a few slow breaths. My distress jumped right back up with Mir's parents came through the door and I had to fight the urge to slide behind Harkin. My eyes narrowed angrily the words they spoke, hands clenching and unclenching as I looked at them. I could have cared less what they thought of me, but how Mrs. Carson looked bothered by having to come check on her child.


Thankfully I kept my tongue bit until Harkin escorted me back unto the interrogation room. "They're here..." I murmured once we got in, moving back to my original spot. My arms wrapped around Mir, nuzzling my face into her hair to calm both her and I. "What are you going to do?" I asked, chewing at my lip as I listened to Rosaline escorted the two adults into another room.

((Go to bed early tonight? ;w; would that help any?


And it's fairly old.. It just freezes a lot so I've got to restart it, which takes awhile.))


I stiffen and whimper at Teag's words, though I'm eternally grateful she's back with me. I glance upo at Harkin over my girlfriend's shoulder, my expression tortured and afraid. "He's blonde... A-and tan, but.. That's all I saw from the s-street light..." I'd remembered a bit more about him, about that night. And now it sort of feels as if I've been through it all again, I remember everything. I don't want to remember it all, though... I really, honestly don't.


I turn my full attention back to Teag, shaking my head to her. "I don't know... I don't want to b-be away from you, especially not if I have to be with them.. They're going to be bad, Teag... I just know it." I hear Harkin leave the room and shut the door behind us once more, but don't give any actual attention to her, or that fact. I just want to focus on the girl before me... I feel as if I wouldn't be able to function if I so much as try to focus on anying else. "I can't do this... It's all too hard, I... I don't want to remember..." I close my eyes tightly, "I need you tonight... I'm... I'm gonna sneak out after mom and dad are asleep, so.. I'll need you to pick me up at the end of the street.." I don't like the idea of walking that far alone, but... I can't have her poull into my driveway or anyone... My parents are pretty light sleepers, and again... I'm afraid something like finding pout I'd be running away from em, even for a night, would push them over the edge.

 

[Memster101]

(( Gahh I keep passing out >< It's really irritating. And maybe...That sucks though with your computer =/ I've had mine since eighth grade but I've had to have some work done on it so it isnt' too much of a mess xD ))


When I see Mir's demeanor change I stiffened, knowing she was having something entirely new happen.A different kind of flash back. I swallowed and held Mir close, trying to shush her until she spoke up. "That works..." I murmured, chewing at my lip. "We'd have to have you home before they woke up..." I fell silent again as I watched Harkin leave the room, wondering where she was off too. Were they telling Mir's parents about what had happened already? There wasn't enough shouting for me to have assumed so but...Shaking my head, continued to smooth Mir's hair, unsure really what to say or do.


((Blahh, sorry. I'm really brain dead at the moment >< ))

 

[Zotohxan]

((Yeah, I'd definitely recommend early bed tonight. x3


Aah, I understand! xD Technically we've had this one since like 2005 or 2006, but my brother basically made a new computer out of it and gave it to me for Christmas a couple years ago. x3


And you're totally fine, I understand 100% ;w; ))


I shake my head, "No... I-I just want to stay with you..." I knew this request was unreasonable and at the very least Teag's parents wouldn't agree to it, but... It's still what I want. "I never w-want to be with them again... I just want to live with you from now on..." I nudge myself a bit closer to her, just gripping tightly. "I'm tired of b-being away from you... I'm sick of it..." I feel my chest heat up in anger at my parents, "I'm done with them!" I all but shout, the tears running more and more down my face, "I just want you... No o-one else... Just you."


I hear a loud crash somewhere outside the door and it makes me gasp in fear, pulling myself closer yet to Teag, our bodies now practically glued against each other. "What was that?" I ask, flinching again when I hear my father's voice scream, "And she didn't tell us?!" Then feet stomping out of the next door room. I start trembling, almost as bad as I had been earlier. "I don't wanna see him..." I whimper, hiding my face against my girlfriend's shoulder. "I really don't w-want to..."


"Sir, please-" Rosaline's voice can be heard shouted across the precinct, followed by my mother's frustrated scream. "That girl.. .Always causing trouble!" I'd assumed they'd play the concerned parents, at least while we were here... But apparently not. "Ma'am!" I shake my head, knowing my parents wouldn't stop their little stubborn/pissed rampage until they see me, and have said whatever they're going to say. So after a moment's 'careful' deliberation, I slowly pull away from Teag and stand. "I have to..." I mutter, reaching up to wipe away my tears, though they're immediately replaced by new ones. I then start toward the door, having to go slow as my shaking legs don't really want to let me move even an inch.

 

[Memster101]

(( That's cool! I wish I could do stuff like that >< Is your brother one of those computer type geniuses? Also, is yours a laptop or a PC? Mine's a laptop >> Pretty impressed with how well it's held up with all my abuse. I've only had to replace the battery like twice, the hard drive once, and replace the venting system as well as the charger port thing >> I hate the people we go to do stuff on it. They take for-freaking-ever >< ))


Under any other circumstance that statement would have made my heart soar, but now it just broke my heart. Especially as she shouted against my stomach. I gently pressed her face against the fabric to muffle the sound some, not wanting the officers to worry. I practically jumped out of my skin when I heard the screaming from out in the station, briefly clinging to Mir. Her parents scared the living shit out of me. If I came down to it, I'd stand up for Mir, but as soon as what had been done had been done, I'd probably be a weeping mess afterwards. My fingers tangled in Mir's hair and I glowered some at the floor, knowing they were referring to me.


What hurt the most is a lot of the trouble Mir and I got into was because of me and my habits. How many sketchy parties had Mir had to come and drag me from? How many hungry stares she had protected me from? Fucking Christ was I really any good for her at all? How long would it be until I got Mir into some real trouble? I trembled slightly against Mir, knowing how scared we both were, with nether of us being able to help the other. My heart jumped into my throat when Mir pulled away to head out into the station to face her parents and I grabbed at her arm, tugging her back. "No...Please, Mir...Let them try and calm your parents first?"


There wasn't any time for that as the door was suddenly thrown open, Mir's father standing in the door way with her mother close behind. Without much thought I shoved Mir behind me, backing us up so the table was between the two adults and I. Out of habit my hand dropped down to the pocket where my knife resided, though knew I'd have to be a moron to pull a knife in a police station. The other was held out from my side to keep Mir behind me. "Clark...Lillian," I greeted steely, head tipping slightly.

 

[Zotohxan]

((He's pretty close! x3 he just had a lot of free time a few years back and taught himself pretty much everything. xD And it's a PC. But that's pretty nice! o: That's really not bad at all for how long you've had it...))


I was about to give into Teag, knowing I wouldn't have been able to handle my parents right now, anyway... But of course, with luck on my side-note the sarcasm- the door slams open to reveal none other than my parents. I whimper in fear and grip tightly to the back of Teag's shirt, just barely peeking my eyes out from behind her shoulders. "H-Hi..." I mumble, wincing as they start walking toward us.


"Teagan, get the hell away from my whore of a daughter." My father spits, making me wince. I hide my face completely, moving to instead wrap my arms around Teag's waist. I know this is dangerous, especially with how angry my parents already are... But I kinda figure, if they're going to get violent on us.. What better place than in a police station. My mother walks up behind him, her expression no less terrifying. "Miranda Jane Carver. Stop hiding behind your little friend, and get the hell out here." The way her hands were formed as fists at her sides was making me tremble horribly in fear, and I realize she really may hit one of us... But I wouldn't let that be Teag. So I slip out from behind her, walking toward my parents with my head down. "I'm sorr-" I begin, being cut off by my father reaching out and roughly grabbing my wrist, right above where I'd cut.


I gasp out in pain, even more tears filling my eyes. "D-Daddy.. It hurts.." I whimper, but he just smirks and starts trying to drag me behind him, tightening his grip more and more, to where I'm honestly afraid he's going to leave a bruise. "Daddy!" I shout in pain, then another wordless shout when my mother walks over and slaps me across the face. "You will be silent and do as your father says! My god.. Going out and having sex, Miranda?! At least it was with a man! Did he fix you, huh? Is that why you decided to say he raped you? Because you're mad you can't go carpet munching anymore!?" That was a term I'd never heard before.. But I knew it was bad. And that, along with everything else my mother had just said, along with her slap, had me falling to my knees and sobbing even harder. My father still tries to drag me, even though I'm not even standing. "We're going home, you little whore." He says loudly, then more under his breath he states, "I'll fucking show you how whores get treated."


I hear him, though... And it freezes me in terror. The same fear I've felt for years fills me, that he'd do something to me. "Please no..." I mumble, breaking from my still spell and fighting against his grip which only gets tighter. By this point, I can actually feel my bones grinding together. "Let go of me! Don't touch me!"


And it's as I scream that, that Rosaline and Harkin appear in the doorway, their guns drawn and aimed at my parents. "Sir, I'll need you to let go of her, now." Rosaline says, her voice filled with authority and more than a threat, a promise. A promise that if he does not comply, she'd have no problem sending a bullet through his skin. And he does. He drops my hand, leaving me to hunch my back over and grip my wrist to my chest, still trembling horribly and whimpering. Harkin is the next one to speak, "Now, both of you. Either leave this precinct now of your own volition, or you will be escorted out. There will be an investigation into her wellbeing, and until that has concluded you will not have custody, nor will you be allowed any contact with her. Do you understand?" They both slowly start lowering their guns as my parents nod and start walking out, sending Teag and I both silent glares along the way.

 

[Memster101]

((That's really cool :3 Is it something that he's thinking of going into or is it just a hobbie? And do you have any little knacks like that?))


I gritted my teeth at the words they spoke to her, feeling my own hands clench into fists as Lillian walked towards us. It was so hard for me not to reach out and grab Mir, to yank her back behind me, but I didn't want to play a physical tug of war with her and her parents. Not only did Clark's words strike fear into Mir, but it froze me in place. I could barely think and I was already stepping forward to show the bastard a thing or two about how whores were treated. I'd make him my whore if he laid a finger on Mir in anything close that manner. Before I could do anything though, Rosaline and Harkin rushed over, defusing the situation...for the mean while. We watched the two parents leave the station and I waited until they were gone before grabbing the back of Mir's shirt, yanking her over to me.


It was hard enough that when she landed against me, I stumbled back a few steps, holding her close. I could feel her crying and was very well near to tears myself. Not in fear for myself...but for Mir... Once again a dizzy spell hit me and my legs decided to give out, dropping both Mir and I into a sitting position on the concrete floor. I ignored the blackening of my vision, pulling Mir to me and into my lap. I bundled her against me, curling myself around her some as if once again I could wrap myself around her like a blanket. From behind Mir's messy cherry hair, I looked pointedly at the older women, grey eyes stormy with fear...After Mir's father's comment...that horrible theory seemed even more plausible...

 

[Zotohxan]

((Aah, no.. It's just a hobby of his. But a crazy good one x'D


And not really.. I'm not the most talented person out there. x3 The only thing I try to be half decent at is writing, but.. As you've seen through roleplaying with me, I'm not even very great at that


How about you? o: ))


Harkin leans in and whispers something to Rosaline as I sit there, against Teag, sobbing my eyes out. I cling to her like a child afraid of a thunder storm, my hands gripping desperately at the back of her shirt as my face hides fully against her chest. Even my legs were wrapped around her waist, as awkward a position as it was considering we were on the floor. Rosaline nods and Harkin walks off, then the red head walks in and closes the door behind her, kneeling down beside us. "I'm so sorry..." She says to me, her tone more personal than a police officer is probably supposed to sound. In fact, I think the whole time we've been here this couple had been more personal than they were supposed to be...


Despite her kindness, I'm unable to pull myself away from Teag, or reply in any way. I just really need to feel her right now, to have her comfort... Rosaline doesn't seem to be at all offended and just gives us sympathetic smiles. "Teagan... If it's alright, I can contact your parents to see if Miranda can stay with you until this is all over? And if not, if you're both comfortable with it-" I'm grateful with how she includes Teag in this decision, whatever it is... She can obviously tell how important she is to me. "-then Miranda can stay with Lori, er.. Officer Harkin and I. And of course, you'd be welcome anytime."

 

[Memster101]

(( You're really good at writing :3 Do you just rp or do you actually write like poems or stories or what have you? And I guess I'm okay at writing and singing xD Aside from that nothing too special? I have this really weird talent for people telling me their like...deepest secrets/prblems within the first little while of us knowing each other. >> I've never really understood it but I guess all I can do is accept it and enjoy that people seem to trust me >> ))


I nuzzled the lower half of my face against Mir's hair, peering up from behind it when Rosaline knelt down beside us. I knew that Mir could stay with me...but only for a few days at most. While my parents were use to be being gone for days at a time with little or no word of my well being...they weren't quite as comfortable with people coming and staying at ours for that alluded time. "She can stay at my house until we can get some of her things from her house...." I murmured, wishing I could let Mir just live with me...But since that was one thing my parents could control, they took full advantage of it. "But if she stays at your home...doesn't that mean we'd have to switch officers? You and Harkin would be too personally involved?"


I wasn't sure I could switch officers but I knew damn well Mir couldn't. To have to testify all over again to a new person... That was out of the question. Out of habit, I pushed my shirt up some, trying to ignore the slight sunken-in look my stomach had taken from the past week, and shifted Mir's shirt up as well so at least part of us was skin on skin. It was weird, but honestly it had always calmed us down. It was something, at least for me, that made me feel more grounded...more here. I had no clue if the same went for Mir, but she always seemed to calm some when ever I did it.

 

[Zotohxan]

((Awh, well thank you xD And yeah.. I write stories >.>


But very nice -w-


And aha, people do that to me, too x'D I've even had coworkers come up to me within the first week of us working together, and have them tell me about their home problems... It's strange, but I'm glad I'm able to be trusted, and help. *w*))


I let out a soft gasp when I first feel Teag's skin against my own, then sigh, obviously calming down a bit. I've never understood why this always helped me... But it did. It seemed to help both of us, really, so.. I won't question it. Even though I've calmed down a bit, I'm still not ready to face anyone, or in any way respond to questions, or be a part of answering anything or making decisions... That's just, still too much for me. So I'm perfectly fine with Teag making the decisions for me. I trust her, and I know she'll do whatever's best for me.


Rosaline smiles softly and tilts her head from side to side, "Well.. That's one of the things Lori is gone for right now. I've seen some officers take children into their homes before.. And as we've already taken Miranda's statement, and the only thing left is her medical testing... There should be no reason she can't come with us. Now, for the custody thing... The investigation against her parents-" I realize she's talking as if I'm not there, and I actually appreciate it.. I feel like if she'd addressed this stuff to me I would've had yet another break down, and I'm finally starting to really calm, so I don't need that. "-there will be new officers. But that'll have absolutely nothing to do with the report you've just made. It will strictly be about home life. And we would be able to recommend officers for the case... The partners I'd probably most want you to see would be Marcus and Daniel Green. And the reason I feel as if you may be more comfortable with them, is because they're gay. They're not together like Lori and I, but they are gay. So I know neither will judge you for your relationship, nor would there be any feelings of threat from them."

 

[Memster101]

(( That's cool :3 Do you post them anywhere or just write them for yourself?


And right? It's super strange but nice at the same time :3 Then you've got me and I barely tell anyone anything unless I feel like you're a good friend and/or I might be starting a relationship with you xD ))


I relaxed at the statement, glad one thing was at least figured out...I really appreciated that the women were going to do this for Mir, but it made me slight anxious.... I'd have to be a lot more careful around them. I couldn't come to see Mir drunk, I'd have to be really careful if I decided to get into pot again....Swallowing, I smiled slightly at Rosaline. "Thank you...I-we really appreciate this...I should be able to go get Mir's stuff sometime tomorrow while her parents are at work...When would you and Harkin be ready for Mir to come stay with you?" I paused in thought, absently rubbing at Mir's back as I tried to gather them. "If Mir's parents have their custody rights taken away...what happens to Mir? Her birthday isn't for a while now and she wont be eighteen until then... Will she be able to live on her own or...?"


There were other ideas I could consider...If I got together and talked about it with Jess, she might be able to hook me up into dealing. Then I'd be able to afford an apartment with Mir. It would be something I'd have to keep a secret from her though...And that would kill me. Going behind her back to see Jess...late night deals...But it might be worth it, to get her out of that situation.

 

[Zotohxan]

((Actually, the quote in my signature is from one of my books... And it's published on a site called Wattpad. ;w;


Haha, I understand xD I normally keep things to myself, unless I'm like on the verge of a breakdown and just need to rant about something. 'w' ))


Rosaline thinks for a moment on Teag's first question, then a moment longer on the rest. "Well... Lori, sorry, that's Harkin's first name... Since both our last names are 'Harkin' they decided it'd be best by one of us to go by our first name. Anyway, Lori and I should be ready by the end of this week, if your parents are alright with her staying with you for that long. If not, we can take her in as early as tomorrow, things just won't be set up too well. If Mr. and Mrs. Carver's rights are taken away, which I personally believe they will,- but don't tell anyone I said that- then she can still stay with us as long as she needs. Until she is 18 we can't let her out on her own, but we can foster her, and that wouldn't be a problem."


She then furrows her brows, "By the way, Teagan... How old are you?" She remembers Lori telling her about how she'd smelled cigarette smoke on the blonde, and was now wondering if she was 18 yet... Even though it's extremely against protocol, she figures she wouldn't say anything, even if she's still a minor... This is an awfully stressful situation, after all. And everyone deserves a free pass every now and again.

 

[Memster101]

((That's the name! I forgot what it was x3 You should tell me your user name so I can stalk you?? And I really like that quote! Also, agreed xD Or I do it in a joking manner and no one really knows I actually mean it >> ))


I snuggled Mir closer, glad her crying had eased enough that she was no longer trembling against me. "I should be able to convince my parents to let her stay with me until then... If not we can figure something out. Grab a motel for a night or such..." I wondered what kind of parent-figures the two officers would be. Would Mir have a designated curfew? Would I not be able to stay the nights? I knew for a fact I wasn't going to even consider having sex at their home. That was something that we be saved for my house, if it happened again within that time period. There would definitely be guidelines, this I had no doubt, and it would be...interesting to see how this all worked out. Whatever it was though...it would be ten times better for Mir than things currently were.


I tensed slightly at the question, glancing up at Rosaline with a sudden guarded expression. "I turn eighteen in June...." Swallowing some, I tried to calm my defensiveness. "Miranda turns eighteen in March." I knew what she was getting at and I was nervous about it. If they decided to look into my files...Would they still be willing to help Mir? What if I ruined this for her? I could feel my heart start to race and I resisted the urge to hide more in Mir's hair, hating feeling so childish and scared.

 

[Zotohxan]

((It's the same as on here.. x3 Firetail606(<That's actually a click-link to my profile )


And thank you xD Aha, yeah.. I do that a lot. ;w; ))


Rosaline notices the panic growing in Teag's expression and gently moves forward, placing a hand gently on her shoulder. "Hey.. It's alright, Teagan. The only thing I'm going to ask of you is to be honest with Lori and myself. Even though we're cops, we won't report anything... But she mentioned to me how you smelled of smoke earlier, and.. We're going to try and get you some help to quit that, and anything else, if you're doing anything else. There's no judgement here, okay?" Her words are sincere, and even I feel a bit relieved... I was terrified when she first asked our ages... I thought they were going to be angry with us or try to desperate us, or.. Something bad. Probably, anything but what she said. "Since it's only December and you've both got awhile to go before you're 18, the state will help pay, or pay in full, for any services you require."


Her gaze flicks to me for a moment, before going back to Teag. "I need both of you to be honest with me.. About anything you're putting into your bodies." It's clear she's concerned, and I manage to turn my head a bit and look her in the eye. I shake my head faintly, but then feel my chest tense up at seeing absolutely anyone but Teag, and quickly hide my face against her shoulder once more.

 

[Memster101]

(( Oh coping methods xD And yay! Let the stalking begin :3 ))


I managed to nod some, but honestly had no desire to quit. Right now it seemed the only thing stable in my life was smoking or alcohol and I wasn't ready to give that up... Smoothing my hand against Mir's hair, I watched her shake her head before retreating back into my chest. I was glad that Mir was older than me, even if it was only slightly. If it had been the other way around, there was no doubt Mir's parents would have pressed rape charges on me. Could they do it the other way around? Say that Mir raped me? Again panic started to overwhelm me before I managed to catch it and beat it down. It wouldn't matter if their custody rights were taken away in the end... That was all that mattered.


I warily eyed Rosaline as she searched my face, swallowing lightly. I knew if I lied that it would hurt Mir, they would know they couldn't trust me. "Just cigarettes and alcohol products at the moment," I murmured after a few silent moments, dropping my gaze back down to the concrete floor. By saying 'at the moment' I felt like it was a fair heads up things might change in the future...without alerting Mir. All they would have to do is look at my files if they were curious enough and they'd be free to make their own assumptions on what might be a possible item in the future.

 

[Zotohxan]

((Lol xD What's your name on there? o: ))


Rosaline catches onto the 'at the moment' immediately, then turns around when Harkin walks back in and comes over to kneel beside her wife. She whispers for a moment before Rosaline nods and turns back to us. "Well, it's cleared... By the end of this week, Miranda, you can come live with us." She then glances at Teagan, deciding to try and lighten the mood a bit by teasing her. "We'll go over rules and the like the day you come out. And tomorrow, we'll come with you to get everything from Miranda's house. Even if her parents are at work, I'm not letting you go alone."


Again I glance over at them, finally my trembling and sobs had stopped, replaced now by only the occasional tear falling down my face. "T-Thank you..." I whisper, still pressed against my love, but.. More open to communication at the moment.


((Sorry it sucks... I didn't really know what else to put honestly. ;w; ))

 

[Memster101]

((Memster101 :3))


I smiled some and nodded a little at the announcement, relieved that they had been able to do so. I was even more happy when Mir spoke up and gently wiped away her tears with my thumb, kissing at her temple. "Thank you...you have no idea how much this means to us," I said, taking the opportunity to gently nuzzle at Mir's wet face, having missed it while she hid. Pulling my sleeve over my hand, I started to brush at her cheeks softly with it. "Do you have a pen and paper I can write our numbers on? You can give us a call when you're ready, or visa versa I suppose. Your schedules are bound to be more ridged than ours are."


I glanced from the two women, my lips curling some in a smile of gratitude, shown much better in my eyes. I returned my gaze to Mir, once again starting to gently mother her. Licking my thumb to wipe away some left over makeup that was still left over despite all her tears, combing my fingers through her hair before taking a ponytail holder from my wrist and tying her hair into a makeshift bun, things of the like. I pushed the corner of her lip up to make her smile slightly, my own lips mirroring hers slightly. She looked like hell, but I loved her even more for that. There had never been a moment when I had ever been more in love with her.

 

[Zotohxan]

((And now to go follow you~))


I can't help but giggle softly at Teag's actions, playfully swatting her hands away but making no move to actually get away from her. After a moment of that I look back to the officers who were watching us with blatant amusement on their expressions. "Yes, t-thank you... You're doing.. S-So much more than you have to, just for us, and..." I start feeling tears building again, then without warning(and even shocking myself) I lean forward and wrap one arm around either officer's neck, crying between them as I hug them. After a moment of what I assume is them just gawking at one another in surprise, I gently feel their arms around me as well.


"It's truly fine, Miranda, Teagan." Rosaline says softly, then opens her arm again for Teagan to join the hug. I do the same, scrunching up my nose with a slight smile. "Group hug.." I say softly, my voice horribly raw. I know I'll need some water soon, else I'd become afraid that my throat would split apart just from a simple breath.

 

[Memster101]

((Yay :3 God my writing use to be so awful >< Ew xD ))


I smiled a little wider at her swatting and my cheeks tinted pink at the officers' amusement. Sheepishly, I ran my free hand through my hair, blinking also in surprise as Mir hugged them. Despite being the known sex-addict, I had never really been one for hugs and affectionate gestures to people aside from close friends and Mir. Mir on the other hand...especially when she was emotional.... It never failed to amuse me. When Rosaline opened her arm to me, I eyed it a moment before allowing myself to lean in and join the hug, my arms going around Mir and her. "Yay," I mused, rolling my eyes playfully. "Affection." When I figured everyone had, had sufficient hugging time, I pulled back, letting my arm settle around Mir's waist.


My ears perked up when I heard the rawness of Mir's voice and I frowned lightly. "Let's go get you some water, hm?" I waited until she scooted off of me, wincing as I stood. My legs were both numb and sore from having Mir on them for so long, not to mention my little tumble from this morning nor the previous night's activities. I forced away the blackness that crept into my vision once more and helped Mir up, along with Rosaline, whom was nearest to us. "Aside from exchanging numbers...is there any other pleasantries we have left to discuss?"

 

[Zotohxan]

((Lol xD I don't think you were bad at all, had your Poems thing been the old writing you're referring to. o: ))


I stand with Teag, my weakened state not doing much to help hold her up, but I try to... I noticed her expression when she'd first stood, and knew almost instantly what it was. I glance at the pair at Teag's words, wondering that myself. Rosaline is the one who speaks, again. "Well.. If you'd like, you can both hang around here another half hour or so, then Lori and I can take you up to the hospital? We'd be able to stay with you, then.. otherwise we can take you up, but then you'd have to take a cab back home." She tilts her head to the side, obviously waiting patiently for our answer.


For some reason, I already felt like I could trust these two... Whether it's the fact they're overlooking Teagan's less-than-legal activities and helping her instead of trying to punish her, or the fact they're letting me stay with them, or just that since we've been here... They're already acting more like family than my own blood has ever done. I glance at my girlfriend, then back to the officers. "We'll wait, if that's alright..." Not only could we both use a bit of a break before heading up for a pregnancy test of all things,but... I need to get Teag to eat something. I know she won't want to, and will probably get upset with me, but... This is getting bad. I guess I'd been a bit too into our actions last night for me to notice, but just then.. Her stomach is sunken in far more than in healthy ,and I need to get her back on track.

(( Yeahh. I don't know >< I guess I like the rewrites better now. It's kinda like I'd like to write a story or more but I'm not sure whereI'd go from there >> I've liked what I've read so far in your story ))


I nodded in agreement with Mir, thinking it'd be nice to get a little bit of a rest. It wasn't even ten yet and I was ready for bed. "That sounds like a plan. We'll just wait in the lobby for you? Or I suppose we can go over to one of the shops near by and just tootle around for a bit." I looked down at my shirt in mild amusement, knowing I'd need to change. It was soaked in tears, probably some saliva, and snot. But it was Mir's and thus bearable until another shirt could be found. Mir's sweater wasn't looking all the great either, but a lot better than mine. Harkin smiled and nodded after standing, twisting her neck side to side until it popped. "Sure. Let's get some paper for you..."


The raven-haired officer slipped out of the room for a moment before coming back with a legal pad note book and a pen. "Here you go. And when we get off shift, we'll call you and come drive to where you are." I nodded in reply, taking the items from her when she held them out. I quickly scrawled both mine and Mir's number in my strangely loopy hand-writing and gave the items back. Lori tore the paper off and pocketed it, holding the notepad and pen in her hand for the time being. "Alright...I think that should be all if you girls want to head out?" She looked over at Rosaline, a brow slightly arched and her head tipped in a questioning manner.

((Yeah.. I understand. ;w; It took me a year to write that freaking story, and I've never done any sort of editing on it or anything(except the first maybe two chapters), and dear jeesh there's some massive mistakes.. But thank you ;-; I'm really weird about people reading that, I swear! xD ))


Rosaline smiles to her wife and nods, then turns back to Teag and I. She seems to notice what I had; my girlfriend eyeing her shirt. She chuckles softly and quirks an eyebrow, "Well.. Would you two like a quick change of clothes before you go?" I blush faintly and nod, wrapping both my arms around one of Teag's, ending with her forearm pressed against my stomach.


That just brings up the thought... What if I am pregnant? I'll be four months along when I turn 18... Rosaline and Lori are going to go through four months of living with a pregnant teenager, if not more. Would they really be able to deal with all that? Would they allow Teag to stay the night with me, to hold me when I need her? Or would the be the strict 'parental' types, giving us the 'no closed doors' rule and a curfew together? Before I know it more tears are building in my eyes. "What's wrong?" Rosaline asks, concern lacing her voice. "Will you force me away from Teag?" I asks, my voice cracking a bit. The red head's eyes go wide and she immediately shakes her head, giving both of us a sympathetic smile. "No, no, of course not, Miranda. We know how much you need one another, we'd never dream of separating you. Like I said before, Teagan will be welcome over anytime. I can only imagine how difficult all of this is... Lori and I will have to discuss the specifics, obviously, but I promise you two will still be able to see each other whenever you need. And the day you come to us, we'll have you both there, and explain any and all rules we'll have, okay?"


I nod, grateful for the sincerity once more present in her voice, along with the sympathetic and sincere expression on Lori's face. It seems they're on the same page with this, and I'm eternally grateful for that... I don't know what I'd do if they tried to keep me away from my girlfriend.. "Thank you... A-And then, yeah... We'll take clothes..."

(( I feel you there xD I wouldn't have the motivation to go back and edit it >> Plus I'm not sure what I'd write about in the first place >< But it's all good xD I know a lot of people like that.))


I smiled some at not having to go out and buy any clothes, it wasn't like I had much money to my name in the first place, especially since all the small shops around were outrageously priced. "Thank you..." I loved Mir to death but her snot and tears....not so much. She was lucky she was cute....and that she had me wrapped around her finger. My gaze traveled down to my arm over Mir's stomach and not really thinking about it, moved it back some so my hand rested there instead. Was there a tiny being under my palm beginning to form? What were we going to do if there was? Another thought...if she was, would Rosaline and Lori want the child? It was understandable if not, and who was to say Mir would want it to be so close in our lives, but...it was a thought. One I wasn't sure how to feel about.


My attention was brought once more when Rosaline and Mir started to talk, glad she was voicing some of my own concerns. There was no way I'd have been able to left Mir alone in general, let alone if she was pregnant. "Reasonable enough...God, I know we're saying it so much...but thank you again." Lori smiled and waved her hand some, even if it was really a big deal. "Hey, it'll be some practice for the Mrs. and I when we have our own children who have significant others sneaking in." The black haired woman wrapped an arm around her wife's waist, bringing her in for a kiss on the cheek.


A soft smile drifted to my lips at the action and I rubbed gently at Mir's stomach, hoping one day after this was long behind us, that we might be able to have something like that. "Right...let's get some different shirts on before they start to stiffen," I teased softly, tapping under Mir's chin so she'd let me look at her. I touched our noses together briefly before pulling back so our hands were the only thing left touching. Sadly, being any other way made it a little difficult to walk.

((And that's exactly why it's been a bit over a month(or right at a month?) and I've only edited two chapters. x3


And write about anything! owo I can't count the amount of stories I have started that only have like a paragraph or two.. x'D That's actually how ITML started out... It was just a brief idea one day, then a few months later I was in the mood to write, came across what I had so far for it, and wrote out like 4 chapters in one day! xD ))


I watch Teagan and Lori's interaction with a soft smile, feeling a fluttering in my stomach when Teag places her hand on it... It was a strange sensation, but it gave me an almost frightening thought... What if-assuming I am pregnant- when this baby is born, I can't help but think of it as mine and Teag's? Would she even be okay with that? Would I even want the baby, or would it just be a reminder of that night one week ago? I know I don't want an abortion, no matter what.. I don't need the two or three or however many months to decide. I just don't know what to do after it's born... I realize that my breathing had become a bit shallow and I force myself to calm down, taking a few deep breaths as I smile at my girlfriend's teasing and squeeze her hand gently. "Love you."


Rosaline smiles to her wife and wraps her arm around Lori's waist in return, before turning toward the door. "Then it's off to the locker rooms with the pair of you! Lori and I always bring up a few changes of clothes, if you're okay with that?" She offers, as otherwise we'd have to wear the very unappealing outfits they give to people who come in on public nudity charges... Stained, slightly torn, oversized grey shirts. Some had sleeves, some didn't, all would act as blocky dresses on girls as small as Teag and I.

(( Nice! And I had this idea a really long time ago. I woke up in the middle of the night and I was like THIS O^O and typed on my phone then fell back asleep xD Never done anything with it though >> ))


I squeezed Mir's hand back, kissing her cheek lightly. "Love you too." I smiled and waved my hand back at Rosaline with her slight concern about wearing their clothes. "That's absolutely fine. Who knows what those people have done in those shirts." I mock shuddered, giving a soft laugh. Lori grinned and chuckled along, giving Rosaline one last side hug before separating herself from the other. "Alright, let's go get you changed, then." Leading the way, Lori headed out of the room and towards the locker room, us trailing behind. While we walked, it seemed all of us were conscious about keeping Mir away from the rest of the people, slightly sandwiched between us. It was something I did naturally, but the fact that the older women picked it up with such seeming ease... I knew Mir would be in safe hands.


When we entered the locker room, I timidly looked around, scanning my surroundings. It was pretty much like the ones at school, but more spacious and larger lockers. I lagged behind some, bringing myself closer to Mir. I had never really be fond of locker rooms and this was no different. I had always been that awkward kid to scamper off into the bathroom stall or wear my gym clothes to gym to avoid changing in front of others. There were a few other women in here, seemingly either coming in or leaving, all in different stages of dressing and undressing. I absently rubbed at my cheeks with my free hand as they started to heat up, quickly adverting my gaze to the ground.
