Cursed Blood |Lesbian Story|

Chapter 42

I found Alyssa in the suite. She was on the bed with her back turned to me. I walked up and crawled onto the bed with her.

"Alyssa?" I said softly. "Are you okay?"

Alyssa didn't answer. Her shoulders were shaking a little. I wasn't sure if she was crying over the loss of her virginity or the humiliation at the Lunch Hall. I guess it must be both.

"I'm sorry about what happened," I said again, swallowing dryly. Alyssa turned around to look at me. Her long eyelashes were damped with tears. She stared at me for a moment and burst out crying again.

"It's okay Alyssa...shhh...it's okay," I pulled her into my arms, and we held each other on the bed like that for what seemed like forever.

"Jacque didn't mean to hurt you that way, you know," I said again, smoothing her hair as her face pressed against my chest. "And neither did Cammie."

"I know," Alyssa managed to speak in a croaky voice. "I'm just a little upset about everything."

"I understand,"

"Why didn't she tell me this?" Alyssa said, now her breathing had calmed down a little.

"Sometimes it's better not to know."

"I thought it was just a dream."

"You remember?"

"Yes, when I was unconscious, I thought I was having this strange dream...about Jacque and me...but I didn't think it was true. I thought maybe I had feelings for her that made me fantasize about her...I really didn't expect this to be true."

"Oh yeah, you do have feelings for her," I said.

Alyssa just shrugged slightly, "I'm not sure."

"Jacque seems to care about you," I said. "I can see that."

"You think so?"

"Oh gosh...not you too," I said. "I was so blind with Octavia and now you are following my footsteps."

"At least Octavia shows you every day," Alyssa said and then she stiffened, "Wait, you said you were blind...so now you and Octavia?"

"We're now officially dating," I said with a shy smile.

"Oohh!!" Alyssa gasped, sitting up with a huge grin. "You guys are finally together?"

I just nodded sheepishly.

"Aw...Congratulation! Viv, I'm so happy for you!" Alyssa said brightly. I was glad that my news lightened her up a little. Then we heard a knock on the door, and the door opened with Cammie stepping in.

"Hey, Alyssa," she said nervously.

"Hi," Alyssa said. Then I was caught by surprise when Jacque followed through the door after Cammie. She looked at Alyssa with her pleading eyes, but Alyssa turned her back away and moved to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Er...I think you guys might want to talk," I said and crawled out of bed to stand next to Cammie.

"Alyssa," Jacque came around the room and sat down next to her. "Alyssa, I'm so sorry for what I did to you. I had no intention to take advantage or whatsoever. It was meant to save you. That's the only way I could make up for it. You can be mad at me, but please, don't hate me."

"I don't hate you," Alyssa said in a small voice. "I'm just a little upset."

"Alyssa," Cammie spoke up. "I also want to apologize for what I did at the Lunch Hall. I was stupid..."

"It's okay Cammie," Alyssa said. "I know you do stupid things because you care."

"We all care about you," I said. "We're all best friends."
