How to Fall... Without Trying To (GirlxGIRL)

Lana

I text Jane to see how she is doing, but I don't get a reply immediately. I guess I'll watch tv or something to pass the time. A few episodes into a House marathon, and I get a reply from Jane

-Hey babe, I miss you so much! I'm sorry I haven't been around much, my parents are coddling me into submission lately. I will try to make it over there soon, I promise-

Damn. Okay. It sucks that I can't see her, but I guess I'll have to get over it and find something else to do.

-Okay, I will see you soon-

I've already pulled Queen over yesterday, so I guess I can find someone else to come hang out today. Ugh! Is that me? I sniff my arm and immediately regret it. I stink and need a shower! Argh having broken ribs suck! I can't do anything for myself because it puts me in so much pain. I could take my meds then try once they kick in.... I grab at my pain medication bottle and take two, sipping down water to help me swallow them. After 30 minutes pass by, I feel good enough to get up to take a shower. I stand on my feet, leaning on my bed frame for balance, then shuffle over to my dresser for my clothes

"What are you doing up?" I hear a voice ask me from my bedroom door. I look over to see Aria standing in my doorway with her arms crossed

"I'm trying to take a shower" I grunt out, opening my drawer and grabbing my underwear, "I took meds and they should be fine for the next hour or so"

"Do you want help?" Aria asks, walking into the room to sit on my desk chair. The idea of Aria seeing me naked isn't exactly pleasing, but I could use the help so I don't fuck my ribs up even more

"Uh... do you mind just making sure I don't slip and die in the shower?" I ask, giving a short laugh, "I'll handle the rest"

"Okay, I can do that" Aria nods, "better than taking care of a fish"

She mumbles something about a dead fish, trailing off into a small rant about Leslie not letting it go

"Huh?" I ask, raising my eyebrow at her

"Nothing" Aria shakes her head , "I'll go set the water so you can get undressed"

She walks off to my bathroom and I hear the water turn on in the shower, giving me time to finish collecting a change of clothes to wear after I shower. Aria comes back and helps me to the bathroom, leaving me alone long enough to strip naked and climb into the tall clear shower. My shower is long-standing, having clear privacy walls that allow you to see the person in it but not see at the same time

"You in yet?" Aria knocks on the door

"Yea" I call back, closing the shower door. She enters the bathroom, sitting on the toilet and crossing her legs

"Let me know if you need me" Aria pulls her phone out and smiles at the screen

"Who's that?" I ask, grabbing my loofa and applying soap to it as I let the water hit my bare skin

"The guy I'm talking to, Kace" Aria grins even wider, "he's being super cute"

"Yea?" I wash my body off, trying to scrub every inch of my body, "he sounds sweet"

"Maybe when you're able to leave the house, we can all go on a group date"

"We?"

"You and Jane, Anissa and Queen, Leslie and Emmie, and me and Kace"

For some reason, being in a room with  Queen and Anissa in a dating setting scares me... maybe it's because of my residing feelings toward Queen? I mean, I can't lie and say that I don't still feel something because I do. I'm still jealous of Anissa and Queen's relationship, though I am absolutely taken with Jane right now. I have feelings towards her too, and I honestly want to have both in my life at the same time but I also want them both in my bed... that is so wrong of me to want, I know, but I can't help it
