I'm sooooo sorry for not uploading lately! There's an explanation on my profile! but I have to run! I'm soooo sorry, once again, but I hope you all enjoy this chapter. Enjoy and review. . ;;

The week went by slowly. For both Lily and Luka. After that day, Lily didn't leave her room much. She just lay on her bed, starring up at the ceiling, hoping that this week would go by faster. Though she had set this up, she regretted it. She missed having Luka by her side, drinking with her, having Luka lecture her when she thought Lily was being over the top. He missed talking to her, comforting her, hugging her. But this was her own fault. If she hadn't kissed Luka, they wouldn't be confused, and they could still be best friends. Now it was just awkward.

The blonde inhaled, closing her eyes for a moment. Almost anything and everything reminded her of Luka. When somebody would knock at her door, she would jolt up, and call out in excitement, only to find it was someone else. She was just to worked up. Why did it have to be Luka, of all people? Why did Luka wind her up so much? Why did Lily have to like her so much, to the point of obsession? Lily was over-reacting, acting like she hadn't seen Luka in years. She would think of Luka. Her beatufil pink hair, bright blue eyes, pale milky skin, and she'd just get all emotional. It had only been a few days. She wished she could calm down, but… unless she knew that Luka would be okay, after everything that has happened between them, and Gakupo… she wouldn't be okay.

She worried that Gakupo would try to attack her again, try to force her into something she didn't want to do. But at the same time, Lily couldn't force herself out of her room, to check up on Luka. And besides, they couldn't speak for one or two weeks. That was the deal.

And it wasn't like anybody else could cheer her up. Lily wouldn't leave her room, and when somebody came knocking, asking her if she was joining for dinner, she would just yell at them to go away. Unless it was Luka. If it was Luka, Lily would probably jump up out of bed, and hug Luka so tightly that she wouldn't be able to breathe, and tell her how much she cared for her, hoping she would feel the same. But it never was Luka. It was usually Rin or Meiko. Or when somebody left dinner at her door, she wouldn't eat it. She couldn't. She just couldn't. Lily was too stressed out to do anything.

Meanwhile, Luka seemed to be doing just fine. She acted as if nothing had happened between her and Lily. She acted like her strong, caring, motherly self. Luka would help Kiyoteru care for Yuki and Ryuto, do duets with Miku and Meiko, drink tea by her lonesome, help the twins with their singing, help with dinner… but when she was alone… she was completely different.

She was almost like Lily. She'd lay in bed, and stare up at the ceiling, thinking. Thinking about everything. She would recall the times she had with Gakupo, knowing that he was a bad person now, and that she definitely felt nothing for him anymore… but it still pained her, to think about how he was just a filthy rotten cheater. That he had been cheating on her with Gumi and God knows how many other girls behind her back, pretending he meant it, when he said he loved Luka, that he never really loved her, then to attack her on many occasions. Pulling her into rooms, trying to kiss and seduce her. Trying to have sex with her…

And then she'd think of Lily.

And she'd feel confused.

She'd think of how Lily was there her from the start, and would be there until the end… only to find out she also really liked her. And to be kissed by her, without Luka's consent… she wasn't sure what to think of it now. It bothered her, since she had just broke up with Gakupo at the time, and was still feeling emotional about it, since Lily just up and kissed her… but at the same time… she kinda liked it. Her lips were soft and warm against her own lips, and on top of that, she was a good kisser. Lily meant well, unlike Gakupo. She would never purposely hurt her.

But she did.

Or maybe Luka was just over-reacting, by running out of her room like that. She wondered how that had made Lily feel, on multiple occasions throughout the week. Obviously Lily really liked Luka, and to be pushed away like that in fear… that would surely be a heartbreaker.

And to confuse Lily even more, by coming back not even minutes after the kiss, practically begging her to still be her friend. And then having to prove her "love" to Lily, by kissing her… but Luka screwed up, she went to far, by trying to pull of Lily's shirt… making Lily panic.

And that's how they got here. Unable to speak for a week or so, to see if they really did love each other. And Luka really didn't know. Was it like Lily said? Was she just confused? Luka kinda was confused… but at the same time, she had her mind set. She knew she didn't like Gakupo. But at the thought of Lily being her girlfriend, she thought hard. She would think of the pros and cons.

Lily had been there for her from the beginning, and always had been her best friend, out of all the others, despite her flaws. She cared for her, and Luka cared for her too. They had some of the greatest times together, and Lily could always make her smile. Luka would smile at the memories of them together, and she would think, hey, maybe it would be okay to be gay, and love Lily. She was obviously a better match for her, than Gakupo would always be.

But… what would people think, to find out Luka was a lesbian, and just so happened to like Lily? Most people she was friends with weren't really homophobic, but at the same time, she couldn't be sure. Someone could secretly be homophobic, and could ridicule her

For liking Lily…

Luka shook her head. Bah, what does that matter? Almost everyone in this apartment has done a gay song with each other… so surely nobody could be uncomfortable about it… they would have gotten used to it a long time ago. And come to think of it, Luka couldn't count how many times people had thought she had gone gay for Miku or Meiko, just from Magnet, or anything else. So it surely wouldn't matter, anymore. That was one problem out of the way… and even if so, if everyone didn't approve, she coooould just run away with Lily. It could be the two of them against the whole world. Luka liked that idea.

But… what about Gakupo? Would he try to go after Luka again? ….Well… Luka hadn't seen much of him lately… so she was guessing not.

Luka's mind drifted back to Lily.

Lily… such a good friend… and probably a better lover…

She thought of her silky blonde hair, her lush lips, beautiful skin, blue eyes… the times they spent together, and how she comforted Luka the whole time…

And her mind was made.

She liked Lily. She did love her. She wasn't confused.

The pinkette picked up her cell phone, flipping it open, going through her contacts, stopping at Lily.

'I love you.'
