A Friend Is Just A Friend Or Is It? Part 8



Bianca woke up. 'It's Christmas morning,' she thought to herself. She pulled herself out of bed & looked at the clock. "8am," she said to herself.
The doorbell rang so Bianca walked downstairs in her pajamas & answered it. "You're early," she said looking at Laura.
"I wanted to give you your gift," Laura replied. "Where is your mom?"
"Sleeping. She won't be up until around 9am," Bianca replied.
Bianca grabbed the present for Laura from under the tree. Laura opened it. It was a gold necklace with a heart. Engraved on the heart was 'I love you Laura. You are my everything. Yours forever & foralways Bianca.' "Thank you Bianca." said Laura giving Bianca a hug.
Bianca opened her present. It was a gold necklace with a ring on it. Engraved on the inside of the ring was 'I'll love you forever & then some. Love Laura' Bianca hugged Laura. "This means so much to me. Will you put it on me?"
Laura put the necklace on Bianca & Bianca put Laura's necklace on her. "I love it Bianca & I love you," Laura said looking down at the necklace.
Bianca lifted Laura's chin up. "Nothing will ever come between us," she said giving Laura a kiss.
"Laura, you're early," Erica said coming down the stairs.
“Yes, Miss.Kane. Bianca & I just exchanged presents," Laura said.
Laura looked at Bianca. "I better go so you can unwrap your presents."
"No, please stay," Bianca said.
"Yeah, you might as well stay," Erica said.
Bianca opened her presents & the girls spent the rest of the day watching Christmas specials. At about 4 o clock there was a knock on the door. Erica answered it. "Is Bianca here?" the girl at the door asked.
"I don't believe we've met," Erica said.
"My name is Sarah."
"Bianca, it's for you. Are you a friend of Bianca's & Laura's?" Erica asked.
"Not of Laura's. But I am a friend of Bianca's"
Bianca walked up to the door. "Stay out of my life!" Bianca said to Sarah. "I love Laura."
"Oh you are *that* Sarah," Erica said finally clueing in.
"I bought you a present," Sarah said.
"I don't want it," Bianca said heading into the living room.
Laura put her arm around Bianca, "Don't worry honey. I'm here."
"I think it would be best if you left!" Erica said to Sarah.
'That idiot Laura has her under a trance or something Bianca loves ME' Sarah thought to herself as she left.
"It's almost time for supper. Uncle Jack should be here soon," Erica said.
Bianca had her head resting on Laura's shoulder & Laura had her arms wrapped around Bianca. Jack walked in the house."Hello ladies," he said looking over at Laura & Bianca.
Bianca got up & gave Jack a hug. "Hello, uncle Jack."
"You look upset," Jack said.
"No, I'm fine," Bianca replied.
Laura got up & put an arm around Bianca's shoulder. "Hello Jack. It's good to see you," she said.
"It's good to see you too Laura. Are you taking care of my niece?" he asked smiling.
"I'm doing the best I can to make her happy because she deserves so much more," Laura said smiling at Bianca.
Bianca looked up at her & smiled. "I love you," she whispered.
Laura squeezed Bianca's shoulder. "I love you too"
The 3 of them walked into the dining room.
"Are the caterers gone yet mom?" Bianca asked.
"Yep. Are you guys ready to eat?" Erica said.
They all sat down, said grace & ate. "Is it alright if Laura stays over?" Bianca asked.
"Sure," Erica replied.
Bianca & Laura walked to Brooke's house to get Laura's clothes. "You let her sleep over?" Jack asked after the girls left.
"I trust them," Erica replied.
The girls were laughing & singing Christmas carols when they walked back in Erica's house. "Well you two are certainly in a good mood," Erica said.
"How couldn't we be? It's a beautiful night, there's magic in the air & I have Bianca here with me," Laura said.
Erica didn't like the idea of Bianca dating her arch rival's daughter but she knew Laura made her happy so she didn't mention it. She liked seeing Bianca happy, which had been a rare occurance since her father died, but then Laura came into Bianca's life & she was always happy. Erica wasn't about to let Sarah ruin it for her. Erica decided she had to do something, but what?


A Friend Is Juat A Friend Or Is It? Part 9




Erica walked into Bianca's bedroom. 'They look so cute together. They seem so happy,' Erica thought as she watched Bianca & Laura sleep. 'I can't let Sarah hurt Bianca. As much as I don't approve of her lifestyle I love her & if she loves Laura so be it.' She shut the door & left.
Bianca cuddled up closer to Laura. Laura had her arm around Bianca. She slightly squeezed Bianca pulling her closer to her. They were only half awake. Bianca looked at Laura, "I could stay like this forever."
"Me too," Laura replied. She kissed Bianca on the forehead.
Erica was downstairs. She picked up the phone & called someone. "Hello, Brooke. I know it is no secret that we don't get along but I have a favour to ask for both of our daughters sakes."
"What is it Erica?" Brooke asked.
"Our daughters are obviously happy together. I really like seeing Bianca happy. It has been a rare occurance ever since her dad died but Laura changed all that. She's happy with Laura."
"I know. I enjoy seeing the two of them smiling all the time."
"Well, someone is threatening their happiness & we need to stop her."
"What? Who?" Brooke asked.
"Sarah something or other. I'm not too sure of her last name at the moment but she was dating Bianca in rehab. She wants her back. I can tell that she is really hurting Bianca & Laura."
"Well, what are we supposed to do?"
"I'm not sure. We'll think of something. I gotta go. I think the girls are up."
"Goodbye, Erica," Brooke said.
Erica hung up the phone as the girls came down the stairs."Good morning ladies," Erica said.
"Good morning mom. We are going to see if Junior & Jamie want to go tobogganing," Bianca said.
"What time will you be home?" Erica asked.
"I'm not sure," Bianca said.
"Well, take your key just incase I'm not home," Erica replied.
"Alright," said Bianca. After breakfast Laura & Bianca got their boots & jackets on. They walked over to the Martin's house. Laura rang the doorbell.
Dixie answered the door. "Laura, Bianca. It's nice to see you."
"We were wondering if Junior & Jamie wanted to go tobogganing," Laura said.
"Come on in. I'll go get them. They are playing Nintendo," Dixie said.
The girls walked in. Jamie ran downstairs. "Laura!" he said giving his big sister a hug.
"Hey kiddo. Do you want to go tobogganing?" Laura asked.
Junior came down the stairs. "Sounds like fun. Is it going to be just the 4 of us?"
"Yep," Bianca replied.
"Sweet! I'll go get ready," Junior said grabbing his stuff. Junior & Jamie got their snowsuits on.
"Bye mom!" they yelled as they ran out the door & grabbed 2 G.Ts & a couple Krazy Karpets.
"I'll race you!" Junior said to Jamie getting on his G.T.
"I have an idea. How about I go on a G.T with you & Laura goes on with Jamie & we all race," Bianca suggested.
"Cool!" Junior said. They hopped on the G.Ts. Junior & Bianca got to the bottom of the hill first. "We win!" Junior yelled.
"Girls against guys!" Jamie yelled. Laura got on the front of the G.T. Bianca sat behind her & wrapped her arms around Laura's waist.
"Let's go," Bianca said. They raced down the hill. Bianca & Laura's G.T flipped. They fell in a snow bank. They started laughing. Junior & Jamie came over to help the girls up. The girls looked at each other & nodded. Once the guys grabbed their hands, they pulled them down & threw them in the snow. The girls started laughing again. They got up & started throwing snowballs & the guys.
"Who is that?" Jamie asked pointing up by a tree.
"Who?" Laura said.
"Dammit!" said Bianca. "Let's go somewhere else." She grabed Laura's hand.
"What? Who is it?" Jamie asked.
"I didn't see anyone," Laura said.
"That's because she hid behind the tree. Who is she, Bianca?" Junior asked.
"An ex friend of mine. She is trying to ruin Laura's & my lives," Bianca replied.
"She's up there?" Laura said squeezing Bianca's hand lightly.
"Let's go to our house & get some hot chocolate," Jamie suggested.
They all headed back to the Martin household. "Hey kids, I'll put the hot chocolate on," Dixie said. "Are you going to stay for some hot chocolate?" she asked looking at Laura & Bianca.
"Yeah, sure," Laura said. They all sat on the couch while Dixie made the hot chocolate.
"You guys are back sooner than I thought you'd be," Dixie said bringing them their hot chocolate.
"Yeah, well this girl was watching us so we decided to leave," Jamie said.
"What? What girl?" Dixie asked sitting down.
"Just someone from my past," Bianca replied. Laura slipped her hand into Bianca's. Bianca looked at her & smiled.
"Are you going to be okay? I mean she won't do anything to you will she?" Dixie asked with a concerned look.
"No, I know Sarah too well. She'd never hurt anyone," Bianca replied.
"But you said she is trying to ruin your lives," Jamie said.
"She is. She is trying to break us up," Laura said.
"So she's stalking you?" Dixie asked.
"Yeah, I guess she is," Bianca said, "but I know we'll be fine. She won't do anything."
"Be careful, Bianca. We don't want anything to happen to either of you," Dixie said.
"Thanks Dixie but I'm sure we'll be fine. She just wants me to be hers again," Bianca said. "Since I love Laura, that'll never happen. I wish Sarah & I could be friends." Bianca looked down & tried not to cry.
Laura rubbed Bianca's arm. "I think we should go now. Thanks for everything, Dixie. See you all later," Laura said.
Laura & Bianca left. "You know Bianca, she's right. You have to be careful. I don't think I could live if something happened to you."
"Sarah won't do anything to me. I know her. She won't do anything. I know her better than anyone does."
"Bianca, I'm just worried about you, that's all."
"I know Laura. But you don't need to worry about me."
Laura stopped walking & took Bianca's hands. "I'm not going to lose you. Please promise you'll be careful."
"I promise," Bianca said bringing her hands up to Laura's face. "Just don't worry about me so much okay?"
"I'll try," Laura smiled. They started walking again. They walked into Erica's house. They overheard Erica on the phone.
"We have to get rid of her. She is upsetting Bianca & Laura."
Bianca walked into the living room. "Get rid of who?"
Erica let the person on the phone go. "Noone dear."
"You were talking about Sarah weren't you?" Bianca asked.
"Well..." Erica started.
"Who was plotting with you?" Bianca asked.
"Calm down, Bianca," Erica said.
"Mom, I want her out of my life but not like that. I can deal with her myself." Bianca grabbed the phone & hit redial.
"Hello?" said the voice on the phone.
"Brooke?" Bianca said.
"Yes?"
"You were plotting with my mom? I mean I'm glad you two are getting along but just let me deal with Sarah!"
"I'm sorry Bianca. We were just looking out for you."
Laura came up behind Bianca & rubbed her hands down Bianca's arms. "It's okay. They are only trying to look out for your best interest. They were wrong in doing this but they care about you."
Bianca handed the phone to Erica who let Brooke go. Bianca turned around & hugged Laura. She broke down crying. "Laura, I can't take this anymore. I don't want our parents involved. I just want it to be you & me. If Sarah tries to do anything, the two of us can deal with it."
"I know & we will. Together we can fight this. Bianca noone will ever come between us!" Laura said.
Bianca sat down on the couch. Laura sat next to her. "I'm going to love you until the day I die & even after that," Bianca said.
"I need to go home now," Laura said taking Bianca's hands. "I'll always love you," she said giving Bianca a hug.
"I'll walk with you to the door," Bianca said.
They stood at the door for a few minutes. "I don't want to leave you Bianca. You might need me. Why don't you sleep over?" Laura said.
Bianca put her arms around Laura's neck & rested her head on Laura's shoulder. "I love you."
"Does that mean you'll sleep over?"Laura asked smiling.
Erica walked up to Laura & Bianca. "Go ahead sweetie."
Bianca & Laura went upstairs to get Bianca's clothes. Bianca sat on her bed & broke down crying. Laura put her arm around Bianca. "I just wanted the two of us to be happy but Sarah had to come back & try to ruin it for us & then our mothers had to get involved. I can't take this anymore," Bianca said crying.
"It's okay Bianca. It will all get better. As long as we have each other we'll be fine," Laura replied.
They grabbed the clothes & left. Laura had her arm around Bianca & Bianca had her head on Laura's shoulder while they walked. They got to Brooke's house. Erica had already called Brooke to tell her that they were on their way. "Mom, we're here," Laura said.
Brooke walked up to Bianca & gave her a hug. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. We just want to see you & Laura happy."
"We're going to bed, okay mom?" Laura said.
"Alright, goodnight," Brooke replied.



A Friend Is Just A Friend Or Is It? Part 10




Bianca started screaming in the middle of the night. Laura shook her. "Bianca, it's alright. It's just a dream."
Bianca wrapped her arms around Laura crying. "I can't lose you. I can't..."
"You're not going to lose me, Bianca. It was just a dream," Laura said holding Bianca.
"Please, Laura. Please just hold me."
"Shhh... It's going to be okay," Laura replied holding Bianca tighter.
They fell back asleep holding each other. They were both sitting up with their heads on each others shoulders. Brooke walked in to check on them, in the morning. She got them to lie down & covered them up. The phone rang. Brooke went downstairs to answer it. "Hello?"
"Hi Brooke. How is she?" Erica asked.
"She's doing pretty good. They are both sleeping right now."
"I am so worried about her. I didn't mean to upset her. I just wanted to help."
"I know. I'm worried about her too. She had a nightmare last night, but by the time I got to the room Laura was already calming her down so I left unnoticed."
Bianca moved closer to Laura. Laura woke up. She brushed her hand through Bianca's hair. "I hate seeing you hurt like this," she whispered. She kissed Bianca's forehead.
Bianca opened her eyes. "Thank you for holding me last night. I'm sorry I kept you up."
"Don't apologize. I will always be there for you. I love you."
Bianca smiled, "I love you, too."
"So are you ready to get dressed & go downstairs for breakfast?" Laura asked smiling.
"Yeah," Bianca said pulling herself out of bed. Laura took Bianca's face into her hands & kissed her.
"I needed to do that," Laura said pulling away.
"I'm glad you did," Bianca said wrapping her arms around Laura. Laura was still siting on the bed. Bianca knelt on the bed with a leg on each side of Laura. "What would I do without you?"
Laura smiled. "Sit at home watching talk shows & soap operas all day, I suppose," Laura said jokingly.
"Hmm... well I guess that would be fun. Maybe I should do that instead of dating you."
"Then you'd miss out on this," Laura said giving Bianca a kiss.
"Well, I wouldn't want to miss out on that," Bianca said. "Then again, I hear Jerry Springer has been very entertaining lately."
"More entertaining than me?" Laura asked with a smile.
"I dunno. Maybe you better show me what I'd be missing again," Bianca said teasingly.
"If I must," Laura said smiling. She kissed Bicna again but this time more passionately.
"Mmm... I know Jerry can't beat that," Bianca said smiling.
"You are so beautiful," Laura said grabbing Bianca's hips. She pulled Bianca closer to her. "I love you," she said kissing Bianca's neck. She kissed along Bianca's shoulder & back up her neck.
"I want you," Bianca said.
"I want you too."
"But what about your mom?"
"She's gone to work," Laura said kissing Bianca.
Bianca lifted Laura's shirt off & kissed her neck. "Are you sure about this?" Bianca asked.
"Yes. I want you, I want you, Bianca." Laura lifted Bianca's shirt off. "God, you're beautiful!"
"I love you so much," Bianca said kissing up Laura's neck.
The two of them made love. Bianca put her arm around Laura."You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen," Bianca said giving Laura a kiss.
"Mmm... not nearly as beautiful as you."
"We really need to get up now, I'm sure mom is getting worried about me," Bianca said.
"Alright," Laura replied pulling herself out of bed. They got dressed & headed downstairs. "I'll make us some brunch."
"Okay, I'll phone mom," Bianca said. Bianca phoned her mom, "Hey mom."
"How are you doing sweetheart?" Erica asked.
"I'm great," Bianca said. Laura walked up behinf her & kissed her neck. Bianca smiled. "I'm fantastic," she said looking at Laura.
"That's great! So did you just get up?"
Bianca smiled. "Yeah, we did."
"Well, I better let you go. Bye sweetie."
"Bye mom." Bianca hung up the phone. She walked over to Laura & sat down next to her on the couch.
"How about we go out somewhere to get something to eat, I can't find anything to eat?" Laura suggested.
"Alright," Bianca replied.
The girls headed out the door to get something to eat. Bianca saw Sarah but instead of saying anything she moved closer to Laura & kissed her cheek. 'Maybe if she can see how much I love Laura she'll leave us alone.' she thought.
Laura put her arm around Bianca's waist pulling Bianca next to her. "I love you," she said placing a kiss on Laura's lips.
"I love you, too."
Sarah walked up to them. "I can't watch this anymore. Bianca, she's brainwashing you or something you love me not her."
"Listen..." Laura began.
"No, Laura. Let me deal with this. Sarah, what we had is gone. I don't love you. I wish we could still be friends but you have made it obvious that we can't. I love Laura. Please leave us alone."
"Bianca, you don't know what you are saying. You aren't thinking straight," Sarah said.
"Sarah, leave us alone or I'll be forced to get a restraining order. I don't want to do that Sarah, so please just go away," Bianca replied.
"Bianca, please don't do this," Sarah said grabbing Bianca's arm.
"Let me go," Bianca said trying to break free of Sarah's grip.
"Let her go, NOW!" Laura said grabbing Sarah's arm.
"What are you going to do?" Sarah said.
Laura pulled her fist back & punched Sarah in the face. "That's what I'll do," Laura said.
"I'm bleeding! You broke my nose!" Sarah said angrily.
Laura looked at Bianca. "I'm sorry Bianca. I couldn't help it."
Bianca grabbed Laura's hand. "Let's go."
"Why would you stay with her? She just punched me!" Sarah called after Bianca while trying to stop the blood from getting everywhere.
"I can't believe you punched her. How is your hand?" Bianca asked.
"Sore," Laura replied.
"Let's go back in your house. I'll put some ice on your fist," Bianca suggested.
The two of them went back to Brooke's house. "Go sit on the couch while I get some ice," Bianca said heading into the kitchen. Bianca came out of the kitchen & put some ice on Laura's hand. "You have to be more careful," Bianca said taking the ice off of Laura's hand & kissing her hand.
"Sorry, Bianca. She just upset me so much."
"I know. I'm not mad at you. Thanks for sticking up for me," Bianca said.
"When she grabbed you she just made me so mad!"
Bianca brushed her hand through Laura's hair. "I know." She kissed Laura's forehead. "I better go get some more ice." She walked out to the kitchen. Laura walked out behind her.
"I'm fine," she said putting her head on Bianca's shoulder.
"Don't be silly, you still need to put some ice on that. It looks really bad,"Bianca said getting the ice from the freezer.
Brooke walked in. "What happened?" Brooke asked.
"Nothing, mom," Laura replied.
"Did you get in a fight?" Brooke asked looking at Laura's hand.
Bianca looked at Laura then at Brooke, "It was nothing."
"Well, you obviously punched someone, so who was it?" Brooke asked.
"Sarah," Laura said looking at the ground.
"I'm sure she deserved it but you still shouldn't get in fights. How bad did you punch her?" Brooke asked.
Laura smiled. "I think I broke her nose."
Brooke tried not to laugh. "Well, did she hit you back?"
"No, I pulled Laura away & we came back here to put some ice on her fist," Bianca said.
"Well, thank you, Bianca," Brooke said.
Laura hugged Bianca, "Thanks so much."
"No problem," said Bianca holding Laura tightly. "I love you. I don't want to let you go... ever."
"I love you, too," Laura said clinging to Bianca. "And I'm not going to let you go."


A Friend Is Just A Friend Or Is It? Part 11




Bianca got out of bed. She got dressed & headed down stairs. Sarah was standing at the bottom of the stairs. "What are you doing here? Please leave," Bianca said.
"Bianca, I need to talk to you without that bimbo around," Sarah replied.
"First off, don't call her a bimbo. Secondly, if you don't leave I'll call the police," Bianca said standing at the top of the stairs.
"Bianca..." Sarah said as she started heading up the stairs.
The doorbell rang. "Who is it?" Bianca yelled.
"It's me," a familar voice called back.
"Laura! Look Laura's here now so you better go." "No, I'm not leaving," Sarah said getting closer to Bianca.
"Come in Laura. Please come in!" Bianca called.
Laura opened the door & saw Sarah. "What the hell are you doing here?" She ran up the stairs & grabbed Sarah by the back of her shirt. She spun Sarah around. "Who the hell do you think you are?"
"Laura, be careful. Please be careful," Bianca said. "I love you Laura, don't get hurt."
Laura grabbed Sarah by the hair & dragged her outside. "You stay away from Bianca!"
"And if I don't?" Sarah asked.
"I'll break more than just your nose," Laura replied.
"Is that a threat?"
"No, it's a promise."
Bianca walked outside. She put her arm around Laura. "Come inside, Laura." Bianca had tears streaming down her face.
"Bianca, please don't cry," Laura said walking inside with Bianca. "I'm here." She wiped the tears drom Bianca's eyes as they sat down on the couch.
"I woke up & headed downstairs, she was standing at the bottom of the stairs. I asked her to leave, Laura. I did," Bianca said crying.
"I know," Laura said taking Bianca's hands. "You're shaking. Don't worry Bianca, I won't allow anything to happen to you," she said wiping the tears from Bianca's eyes again.
"I'm sorry Laura."
"It's not your fault," Laura said hugging Bianca. "It's not your fault."
Bianca held onto Luara tightly. "I should have got a restraining order."
"Bianca, don't blame yourself."
Bianca held onto Laura tighter. Erica walked in."What's wrong?" Erica asked heading over to Bianca. She put her hand on Bianca's shoulder.
Bianca moved away from Erica, "Nothing."
Laura put her hands on Bianca's face. "Bianca, don't worry. I'm here for you."
Bianca put her hands on Laura's hands. She took them off her face & kissed them. "Thank you Laura... for everything."
Erica looked from Laura to Bianca & Bianca to Laura. 'It must be Sarah,' she thought to herself, 'but what did she do this time?'
"Miss.Kane, is it alright if Bianca comes over to my house for awhile?" Laura asked.
"Sure," Erica replied. She looked at Bianca, "Are you going to be okay?"
"I'm fine mom," Bianca replied standing up. She took Laura's hand, Laura stood up & Bianca moved closer to her. She put her head on Laura's shoulder. Laura wrapped her arm around Bianca's shoulder.
"We'll see you later, Miss.Kane," Laura said. Laura & Bianca left. "If she ever comes near you again, she'll regret it," Laura said to Bianca.
"I am so glad you came when you did. I was actually afraid of her. I was so sure she wouldn't do anything but when she showed up like that I was just so scared," Bianca said.
"It's okay, Bianca," Laura said hugging Bianca. Bianca started crying again. Laura put her arm around Bianca & walked her inside Brooke's house.
The two girls sat down on the couch. "Why did you come over today, anyways?" Bianca asked.
"I was thinking about you & I just had to see you," Laura replied.
Bianca smiled. "I am glad you came."
Laura hugged Bianca tightly. Bianca clung to her & started crying again. "I'm not going to let you go. Let it all out."
"She broke up with ME! SHE ended it all! Why can't she move on & find someone who loves her like I did."
"She doesn't deserve you, she actually scared you," Laura said rubbing Bianca's back.
Bianca rested her head on Laura's shoulder. "You wouldn't hurt me like that, would you?" Bianca asked turning her head to look at Laura.
"I would never hurt you. I could never hurt you. You mean too much to me."
Bianca let go of Laura & backed up so she could look at her. "I know you wouldn't. I'm sorry for asking, it's just..."
"Don't be sorry," Laura interrupted. "I understand why you asked me you're upset & scared."
"Still... I shouldn't have..." Bianca started.
"Shhh... Don't worry," Laura said taking Bianca's hands & rubbing them with her thumbs. "How about you go lie down, I'll make you something to eat."
"Alright," Bianca said standing up.
Laura stood up & hugged Bianca. "Go up to my room & go to sleep for awhile."
Bianca headed upstairs & layed down on Laura's bed. She hugged Laura's teddy bear. She drifted off after a few minutes. Laura came into the room & watched her sleeping. 'She looks so innocent & sweet. How could anyone hurt her?' she thought to herself.
Laura walked back downstairs & started making bacon. She made a couple bacon, lettuce & tomato sandwicheds. She put them on a tray with a glass of orange juice, then carried them upstairs. She put the tray down & knelt beside the bed. "Hey, sweetie. Are you hungry?" she whispered into Bianca's ear.
Bianca slowly opened her eyes. "Yeah," she said sitting up.
"Here you go," Laura said putting the tray on the bed.
"Looks good. Why don't you come up here & join me?"
Laura sat next to Bianca on the bed. "Eat up."
"Aren't you going to eat?"
"No, I'm not hungry."
"Come on you made me too much. You have to eat, please!!!!"
"Okay, I guess I can eat a little."
Bianca smiled. "Good, now let me get you some orange juice."
"No, thanks," Laura replied.
"Well, at least have some of mine," Bianca said.
Laura looked at her. "I won't win this one, will I?"
"Nope," Bianca said with a smile.
The ate the sandwiches & drank the orange juice. The phone rang. "Hello?" Laura said answering the phone.
"Hey Laura. It's Jamie," said the voice on the phone. "Hey Jamie. What's up?"
"I was wondering if you could watch Junior & I. Dixie was going to get Becca to but I really want you to. So what do you say? Please."
"Well, I was going to hang out with Bianca. Do you think Dixie would mind if she came with me?"
"I'll ask," Jamie put the phone down & ran to ask Dixie. He got back to the phone, "She said she'd love to have you & Bianca watch us."
"Okay, I'll ask Bianca." She looked over at Bianca. "How do you feel about coming with me to watch Jamie & Junior?"
"I'd love to," Bianca replied.
Laura told Jamie then let him go. Both Laura & Bianca got ready to leave. When they arrived at the Martin's house, Jamie opened the door & hugged Laura then Bianca. "How are you guys?" he asked.
"We'r good, you?" Laura replied for the both of them.
"I'm good," Jamie said.
The girls went inside. "Hello ladies, thank you so much for watching the boys," Tad said.
"No problem, we love visiting with them," Bianca said.
Dixie came downstairs & gave Bianca a hug. "How are you doing? No problems?"
"I'm good, Dixie. Thanks," Bianca replied.
Dixie hugged Laura. "You keeping her out of trouble?"
Laura smiled at Bianca, "I try to."
"Well, you two better get going," Bianca said.
Tad & Dixie gave their kids hugs & left. "She's so sweet," Bianca said.
"So where were they going anyways?" Laura asked Junior.
"To get some info on someone. I don't know too much more. I heard Tad on the phone with someone, he sounded upset," Junior replied.
"After Dixie got off the phone with mom she went & said something to dad & dad looked upset. That's when he made the phone call that Junior overheard," Jamie said.
"Mom? What on earth? Who would she want info on?"
Bianca looked at Laura. "She wouldn't, would she?"
"You think she wants info on Sarah?" Laura asked realizing what Bianca was talking about.
"Maybe."
"I'm going to call mom & get some info out of her."
"Who would like to play Nintendo?" Bianca asked.
Both boys called out, "ME!"
Bianca took them upstairs while Laura called her mom. "Hello mom."
"Laura, what are you calling for?"
"Nothing, really. I'm watching Jamie & Junior right now."
"I see. So why did you call?"
"Well, Jamie said you called earlier & that Dixie was upset after she got off the phone. I was wondering why."
"She was upset? I don't know why she'd be upset," Brooke said acting innocent.
"I hope this isn't about Sarah. Let us deal with her!" Laura got off the phone & went upstairs to play Nintendo with the others.

Tad & Dixie got home, Laura & Bianca came downstairs. "I trust you had a good time," Laura said.
"Well, we weren't exactly going out for fun. We were investigating someone," Tad said.
"Yeah, Tad wants to get back to his days of being a P.I," Dixie said quickly.
"Well, we better go," said Bianca pretending to look at her watch.
"Do you need a ride?" Tad asked.
"No, we like walking. Exercise is good," Bianca said grabbing Laura's arm & dragging her out the door.
"Hey, don't you want to question them?" Laura asked.
"No, I want to spend the day with you without any problems," Bianca said.
"But I thought..."
"Don't think," Bianca interrupted. "Let's just spend the rest of the day together enjoying life."
"Sounds good to me," Laura said.
The two of them walked over to Erica's house. "Mom, won't be back until late," Bianca said. "So we have the house to ourselves."
They sat on the couch & put the t.v on. The doorbell rang so Bianca got up to answer it. "Hey Bianca!" Michelle said.
"Hey Michelle. What are you doing here?" Bianca asked.
"We are going on a road trip & were wondering if you want to come with us. We're not wuite sure where we are headed though."
Bianca looked over at Laura. "No, I'd rather not. I'd like to spend the day relaxing but thanks for thinking of me."
"Yeah, sure... Are you positive you don't want to go?"
"Yeah. 100% positive. Have fun & take lots of pictures."
"Alright, catch ya later."
Bianca sat down on the couch next to Laura & snuggled up next to her. She put a blanket on top of them. "Holy, it's cold in here."
Laura smiled at her. "So why didn't you want to go with them?"
"With who?" Bianca asked.
"Michelle, of course."
"Oh. I just wanted to relax without being bothered."
Laura put her arm around Bianca, who was cuddled up close to her. "I see," Laura said smiling.
"What are we watching?" Bianca asked
Laura looked at the t.v "No clue."
Bianca flipped through the channels. She ended up stopping at the country musice channel. After a few songs Laura lifted Bianca's chin & kissed her passionately. She held Bianca close to her body & rubbed her back while kissing her. "I love you," she said as they parted.
Bianca rubbed Laura's arms with her hands. "I love you, too," she said she moved closer & kissed Laura's neck.
Laura closed her eyes as Bianca continued to kiss her neck. "Your lips are so soft." Laura opened her eyes as Bianca stopped kissing her neck, but before she could do or say anything Bianca covered Laura's lips with her own.
Once they finally stopped kissing Bianca grabbed Laura's hand. She locked the door & led Laura upstairs. "I want you," she said kissing Laura again.
"Mmm... I love you Bianca."
Bianca started kissing Laura's neck again. Bianca lifted Laura's shirt off & kissed down her neck. Laura lifted Bianca's shirt off & picked her up to put her on the bed. They made love for the 2nd time. They stayed in bed for awhile just holding each other. "You know when I am wrapped in your arms or your kiss I forget all my problems. It is as though the rest of the world doesn't exist. Like it's just the two of us," Bianca said resting her head on Laura's chest.
"Mmm... I feel the same way," Laura said rubbing Bianca's arm.
"Do you think we'll always be this happy?" Bianca asked looking up at Laura.
Laura smiled. "I'm sure we'll have our ups & downs but we'll always be in love so we'll be happy."
Bianca closed her eyes. It only took a minute or two for her to fall alseep. Laura kissed the top of Bianca's head. Bianca started dreaming.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She is sitting in a field picking daisies. She hears a familar voice & turns around quickly. "Laura!" she says standing up. She walks towards the person, as she gets closer she notices that it isn't Laura. "Who are you?" she asks backing up. "Don't be scared child. I am a friend not a foe. I am here to warn you." "Warn me? About what?" she asks. "Stay close to those you love or else someone will tear them away." "Who?" she asks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bianca woke up, she looked at Laura. 'Stay close to those you love,' she thought remembering the dream. She moved closer to Laura & kissed her cheek. "I'm not going to let anyone take you away from me."
Laura opened her eyes. "No one will take me away from you," she said kissing Bianca's cheek.
"Did I wake you up?" Bianca asked sitting up.
"No. I was just lying here thinking."
"Oh. About what?" Bianca asked getting dressed.
"Stuff. Us, the future, you know... stuff," Laura said getting dressed.
"Does the future include me?" Bianca asked smiling.
"You know it does," she said draping her arms over Bianca's shoulders. She looked into Bianca's eyes. "You are so beautiful."
Bianca smiled. She grabbed Laura's hips & pulled her into a kiss. "I love you."
Laura smiled. She looked at Bianca. "What were you saying about someone taking me away?"
"Oh, nothing. It was just a dream I had. Someone warned me to keep those I love close or someone will tear them away from me."
Laura hugged Bianca. "No one will tear me away from you."
Bianca held Laura tightly. She rested her head on Laura's shoulder. "Who would want to tear all my loved ones away from me?"
"Don't worry Bianca. It was just a dream," Laura said rubbing Bianca's back.
Bianca lifted her head up. "I suppose we should get going downstairs. Mom should be home soon."
The 2 girls headed downstairs & unlocked the door. They sat on the couch after putting the radio on. Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love you" came on the radio. Laura smiled & stood up. "Can I have this dance?" she asked reaching out her hand to Bianca.
Bianca reached her hand out & allowed Laura to take it. She stood up & moved swiftly into Laura's arms. Laura whispered the words of the song into Bianca's ear. Bianca closed her eyes & rested her head on Laura's shoulder. "I'm not going to lose you," Bianca said.
Laura closed her eyes & held Bianca tighter. "No one will ever come between us."
The door opened & Erica walked in. She looked over at Laura & Bianca. "How long have you two been here?"
Bianca looked at her mom & stopped dancing. "Pretty much all day," she said taking Laura's hand & walking over to the couch.
"Well, what have you been doing?" Erica asked.
"Listening to music & watching t.v," Bianca replied.
"All day?" Erica asked.
"Well, we had a nap earlier," Bianca answered.
"Well, I have to go on a business trip for a week or two. So we need to find a place for you to stay."
"I can see if she can stay at my house," Laura suggested.
"I don't want to impose on your mom," Erica said.
"I am sure she won't mind. Bianca & I are usually at each others houses anyways."
"Please mom," Bianca pleaded.
"Well, if Brooke says it is alright I guess so," Erica replied.
Laura smile. "I'll phone mom." Laura begged Brooke to let Bianca stay over while Erica is away. Brooke gave in. Laura hung up the phone."She said it's alright."
"Well, I suppose you should pack your stuff," Erica said to Bianca.
Bianca hugged Erica. "Thanks mom!" She ran upstairs.


A Friend Is Just A Friend Or Is It? Part 13



Bianca hugged her mother. "Goodbye, mom."
"I'll phone to see how you're doing," Erica said.
Erica left. Then Bianca & Laura headed over to Brooke's. They went inside & put the stuff away. They headed back downstairs. "Do you want to go to the Center? There isn't much else to do," Laura said.
"Sure," Bianca said linking arms with Laura.
They got in the Center & Bianca saw Rain playing pool. "I'm going to talk to Rain for a minute," Bianca said unlinking her arm from Laura's.
"Alright," Laura said heading over to talk to a little girl who looked upset.
Bianca walked over to Rain. "Hey girl, I haven't seen you for awhile," Bianca said giving her friend a hug.
"So, you made the papers a little while ago," Rain said.
"Yeah, I guess I did."
"So you're dating Laura now?" Rain asked.
Bianca looked over at Laura comforting a little girl. "Yes, I am," she said looking back at Rain. "I'm sorry about not talking to you sooner. Laura & I are trying to deal with my ex. She wants me back & won't leave us alone."
"What a bitch! Can't she just let you be happy? What's her name?" Rain asked.
"Sarah Livingston. Why?"
"Just wondering," Rain said taking a shot.
"You're not going to do anything are you?"
"Why, Bianca. Whatever do you mean?" Rain said smirking.
"You know what I mean," Bianca smiled, "but if you do, do anything don't get yourself arrested."
"I won't," Rain said.
"So are you dating anyone?"
"Nope," Rain said putting her pool cue away. Rain & Bianca walked over to Laura, who was now laughing at something the little girl said. "You're real lucky Laura. You got yourself a wonderful girl."
Laura stood up. "Thanks," she said shaking Rain's hand.
Rain pulled her into a hug. "Congratulations," she said patting Laura's back.
"Do you guys want to go to a moive?" Bianca asked.
"I can't. I don't have any money," Rain replied.
"Don't be silly. I'll pay. Mom gave me some money before she left," Bianca said.
"You know I don't take hand outs Bianca," Rain said.
"It's not a hand out. It is one of your late Christmas presents," Bianca replied. "What do you mean ONE of my presents?"
"Well, the other one is at home."
"You bought me a present?"
"You are my friend, aren't you?" Bianca asked.
"You shouldn't have got me anything."
"So are you going to the movie?" Laura asked Rain.
"Wouldn't you two prefer to be alone?" Rain asked.
"We are always together. Don't get me wrong we love being together but we'd also love your company," Bianca replied smiling.
"Alright, I suppose I can go," Rain said.
The 3 girls headed out the door. "Let's make a day of it. We can play at the arcade afterwards," Laura suggested.
"Sounds like fun," Bianca replied. "What do you say Rain?"
"Sure, why not?"
The girls started walking to the theatre they noticed Sarah wlk in the theatre. "Umm... let's go somewhere else," Bianca said.
"Is that Sarah?" Rain asked.
"Yeah," Laura replied glaring at Sarah.
"Will you two excuse me for a second?" Rain asked as she headed towards Sarah.
"Rain, don't! We can go somewhere else," Bianca said a little too late.
Rain grabbed Sarah's arm & spun her around. "Stay the hell away from Bianca! She's happy now, so just back off!"
"Ow... Let go!" Sarah yelled.
"Not until you promise to leave Bianca alone."
"Who are you?" Sarah asked trying to break free of Rain's grip.
"A friend of Bianca's, who is really worried about her," Rain replied.
"If you were really worried you'd leave me alone & get rid of that Laura chick," Sarah said.
"Laura is good for Bianca so back off or I'll mangle our face!" Rain said squeezing a bit tighter before heading back to Laura & Bianca. "So what about that movie?" she said smiling at Bianca.
"What did you do?" Bianca asked.
"Nothing," Rain said innocently.
"Come on Rain, we saw you grab her arm, what did you say to her?" Bianca asked.
"I just warned her to stay away. So are we going to the movie or not?"
The 3 girls walked past Sarah on the way in. Laura & Rain glared at Sarah. Bianca put her hand in Laura's & pulled her away. "Don't worry," she said.
"Hey, don't look so sad. There's nothing to worry about with me on your side," Rain said putting her hand on Laura's shoulder.
After the movie the 3 of them decided to go to Brooke's instead of going to the arcade. "Hey mom, I'd like you to meet Rain," Laura said to Brooke.
"Nice to meet you Rain," Brooke said.
"You too, Miss.English," Rain said.
"That's so formal. Please call me Brooke."
"We're going to listen to music in my room. Alright mom?" Laura said.
"Yeah, sure. Did you ladies eat?"
"We had popcorn at the theatre," Laura replied.
"Well, would you like some pizza? I can order out," Brooke said.
"Sure, mom," said Laura as they headed upstairs.
The girls put on the radio when they got to Laura's room. "Why don't you stay the night?" Laura asked Rain after a while.
"Yeah, stay & hang out here," Bianca said.
"Are you sure your mom will let me?" Rain asked.
"Yeah, why wouldn't she?" Laura asked.
Brooke came in with the pizza. "Here you go ladies."
"Hey mom can Rain sleep over?" Laura asked.
"Sure, you better call your mom," Brooke replied looking at Rain.
"Well, I don't actually have a home. Mom threw me out awhile back," Rain said.
"Oh. I'm sorry," Brooke said.
"So you still want me sleeping here?"
"Of course. Wait, you were at the Center before weren't you?" Brooke asked.
"Yeah, that's where I met Bianca," Rain replied.
"That's right. I remember you. How could I forget? Anyways, you ladies have fun," Brooke said as she headed out of the room.
"Thanks Miss English, I mean Brooke," Rain said.
"You're welcome. Goodnight ladies. I'll see you in the morning," Brooke said.
"Your mom is awesome!" Rain said.
"Yeah, she's pretty cool," Laura replied.
Bianca was sitting on the bed, after they finished eating she grabbed a pillow & threw it at Laura. Laura grabbed the pillow & threw it at Rain. They were all laughing while continueing to throw the pillow at each other. Brooke walked in & got hit with the pillow. Everyone tried not laugh, then all of a sudden Laura broke out laughing. Brooke threw the pillow at her. "Do you ladies want to rent a movie or two?" Brooke asked.
"Yeah, sure," Laura replied. They picked out a couple movies & watched them in the living room. Bianca fell asleep cuddled up next to Laura. Laura fell asleep with her arms around Bianca & Rain fell asleep on the chair.


A Friend Is Just A Friend Or Is It? Part 14



Rain woke up & threw a blanket on Bianca & Laura. She grabbed a paper & a pen, then wrote a note to Bianca & Laura.
Dear Bianca & Laura,
Thanx for the hospitality. I had to go. I'll catch you both later. Thanx again.
Sincerly,
Rain
 It was 6am, Rain taped the note to the t.v & left. She saw a familar person. "Hey," she called.
The girl turned around. "Please don't hurt me. I've left Bianca alone."
"Look, I need to talk to you, Sarah," Rain said.
"Yeah? Well, okay. But please just don't hurt me," Sarah said.
"Listen, I'm sorry if I hurt you the other day. It's just Laura & Bianca are good friends of mine & I don't like seeing them hurting, especially Bianca, she's been through enough. Why did you & Bianca break up anyways?"
"My mom. She found out about Bianca & insisted that I am straight & that is how I have to be. I tried to be straight, but I kept thinking about Bianca. By the time I gave up on pleasing my mom, it was too late."
"Sorry about that. My mom threw me out when she found out about me. Maybe you & Bianca can become friends again if you apologize & then back off for awhile & give them time."
"Thanks," Sarah said.
"So where are you headed?" Rain asked.
"Nowhere, really. I just needed to take a walk to clear my mind," Sarah replied.
"You don't know Pine Valley that well do you?"
"No, not really."
"Would you like me to show you around?"
"Uh... sure," Sarah replied. They walked around for a few hours talking. They talked about Bianca, Rain's past & about their families.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BACK AT BROOKE'S HOUSE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Laura woke up & stretched out. She looked over to where Rain was sleeping & noticed she was gone. She slowly got up trying not to wake up Bianca. She read the note. Bianca got up & Laura handed her the note. "Hmm... I wonder where she went," Bianca said.
"Where who went?" Brooke asked coming down the stairs.
"Rain. She left early this morning," Laura replied.
"I see. Well, are you two hungry?" Brooke asked.
"Yeah," Laura replied. The doorbell rang & Laura answered it. "Rain."
"I brought someone with me. She wants to say something to you & Bianca," Rain said.
Sarah moved in front of the door. "I'm sorry for harassing you. I am going to back down. Hopefully someday we can all be friends. Congratulatons Laura, you have a wonderful girl. I hope the two of you will be happy together."
"Umm... WOW! I don't know what to say," Laura said still a bit angry but confused.
"Well, Sarah thanks for apologizing. Hopefully someday we can all be friends but I think after what has happened we'll need some time," Bianca said.
"I understand. I am so sorry for hurting you," Sarah replied.
Rain looked at Sarah then at Bianca & Laura. "Well, we better get going. See you later Bianca, Laura."
"Yeah, bye. Talk to you later Rain & we DO need to talk," Bianca said.
"Sure thing, Bianca," Rain said. Sarah & Rain left. Sarah was starting to cry. Rain gave her a hug. Sarah buried her head in Rain's shoulder & cried. "Hey, don't cry. You'll find someone else. Someone who'll love you & treat you right," Rain said trying to cheer her up.
"Thanks Rain. Thanks for helping me," Sarah said.
"Where are you staying?" Rain asked.
"The Pine Cone Motel," Sarah replied.
"I'll walk you there."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BACK AT BROOKE'S~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"That was weird," Laura said.
"I'd say," Bianca replied. "But I'm glad she came over & apologized."
"Do you think she meant it?" Laura asked.
"Yeah, I do," Bianca replied.
Brooke brought them their breakfast. "So Sarah said she is going to leave you guys alone?"
"Yeah," Laura replied.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BACK AT THE PINECONE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Will you come in & talk to me for awhile?" Sarah asked.
"Sure," Rain replied. The 2 girls went in Sarah's motel room.
"So why aren't you with your girlfriend?" Sarah asked.
"I don't have one," Rain replied.
"You don't?" Sarah asked sounding shocked.
"Nope, the only people in my life are Bianca & Laura. That's why I am so protective of them. When I found out you were trying to wreck their happiness it made me mad. I'm sorry for hurting you."
"I understand why you did it," Sarah said walking over to Rain. She knelt in front of Rain. "I forgive you."
"Uh, I better go. You take care of yourself. If you need to talk to me I'll be around," Rain said standing up.
Sarah hugged her. "Thanks, I'll see you later."
Rain left. 'I can't be falling for her, can I? I mean, I care about Bianca & Laura. If I fell for Sarah it might upset them,' she thought to herself. She headed over to Laura's. 'I need to talk to them,' she tought.
"Rain, you're back," Laura said answering the door.
"Yeah, I need to talk to you & Bianca," Rain replied.
"Come on in," Laura said sounding concerned.
"You guys know I care about you a lot right?" Rain asked.
"Yeah," Bianca replied.
"Well, I think I am falling for Sarah but I need to know you two are okay with that."
"Just don't get hurt," Laura said.
"Be careful & follow your heart," Bianca said.
"Thanks," Rain said smiling. "I have to go. Thanks so much." Rain ran out the door & headed back to the Pine Cone. She knocked on the door of the room Sarah was in.
"Rain! What are you doing here?" Sarah asked smiling widely.
"I need to talk to you," Rain replied. The 2 girls walked into the room."I know you are still upset about Bianca but I can't ignore what I am feeling for you," Rain began.
"Are you saying you have feelings for me?" Sarah interrupted.
"Yes. That's why I left so quickly. I needed to think about it & talk to Laura & Bianca."
"You have feelings for me?" Sarah asked. "I mean after all I have done?"
"You were hurting. Let me take your pain away," Rain said hugging Sarah.
She hugged Rain back. "So is this your way of asking me out?"
"I guess it is. So what do you say?" Rain asked takiung Sarah's hands.
Sarah looked at the ground. "I say yes," she said looking back up.
Rain smiled & grabbed Sarah's hips, she pulled her into a kiss. "I've been dying to do that."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BACK AT BROOKE'S~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I am happy for Rain, I hope Sarah feels the same way about her," Bianca said.
"I am sure she does. Maybe we all CAN be friends eventually after all," Laura said putting her arm around Bianca.
"That would be nice," Bianca said smiling.
