Closure
It was finally time for the girls to attend their classes. They haven't been to any of their classes the past few weeks due to everything that has happened. Laura thought that after all this time, things might have gotten back to how they were before. Not that, before all this, things between Victoria and Carmilla were great, but there were not so intense. If intense is the right word to use for bullying and abuse. They both arrived at their university a little early. They wanted to avoid some unwanted faces. But, those were the only ones they saw. Laura got so angry at the sight of Victoria approaching them.
"Victoria, leave and take your bitch face with you"
"Woah, calm down Laura. That's not a nice way to talk to your friends. I only came here to talk to Carmilla. I heard about your mother Carmilla and you have to know how sorry i am". The corner of her lips moved as if she was about to smile. Like she was about to celebrate making Carmilla feel bad.
"You little bi...".
Carmilla didn't let Laura finish. She took her hand and held it tight. As tight as possible. Their eyes met and Laura knew that it was best for them to leave. She took the first step, pushing Victoria aside. They entered the building, and they couldn't believe what they saw. Pictures of them everywhere. The walls, the lockers, the windows. Everywhere. Pictures way not PG13.
"What the hell is that? When did Victoria take these? Ooooh i am going to kill her" Laura wasn't angry anymore. She was done with this and she wanted to put an end to it once and for all.
"Cupcake, not that i don't like people to know that we are together, but help me get those down first?!"
They gathered the pictures as fast as they could, trying not to forget any. Laura sat on the foor and seconds later, Carmilla sat next to her. She could see tears rolling down her face.
"Hey, please don't cry cutie! Everything is okay! We got all of them. No harm, right?"
"Carm, i don't care about the pictures. Really, i don't give a damn about people finding out. But... But somehow Victoria found a way to invade in our most personal moment. That it was ours. And i can't accept that"
"It is still ours! No-one can take that away from us."
"Victoria is so done".
Laura got up and started walking towards the exit. Carmilla tried to follow her but she knew that Laura wanted to be alone right now. The next time she saw her, was 4 hours later outside the Dean's office. She was holding some papers and she looked nervous.
"Hey cupcake! I am glad you came back! What are those files you are holding?". Carmilla stood behind Laura hugging her and resting her head on her shoulder.
"Of course i would come back. I had to go pick up the closure we needed". She took a deep breath and passed the files to Carmilla.
"Laura, tell me that these are not...". Laura grabbed the papers back and held them close.
"Yes, they are. And it is exactly what we need."
"Where did you find those? You can get in trouble, you know that?"
"Well i am quite a detective, and at this point, i don't care if i get in trouble. As long as i have you by my side"
"I will always be with you, no matter what. I can give them if you want , you don't have to be the one to do it"
"I want to Carm. I want to be the one to destroy this stupid family. I want to destroy them for what she did to you. And i will...". The Dean's door openes before Laura could finish her sentence.
"Miss Hollis, i was informed that uou have something to tell me. Please come in. You wait here Miss Karnstein"
The door closed and the time stopped for Carmilla. She couldn't believe Laura was in that office probably destroying herself too with this story and all that for what? Her? Did she deserve someone like Laura? Was she worthy enough? All this thoughts started crossing Carmilla's mind and she could handle it. It's been 1 hour. And still nothing. Carmilla kept pacing around the hallway, waiting for Laura to appear. A few minutes later, there she was. Standing in front of her, speechless.
"Laura, what happened in there? Everything alright?". Carmilla put her arms on Laura's shoulders, as if she was about to hug her.
"Everything went more that alright actually. They contacted Mrs Elena and she is kicked out of the university. And from what i understood she is not going to be teaching anytime soon. Victoria was expelled too. There were some students saying that she was threatening them too. Everything is over now. Let's go home Carm".
Laura placed her arms around Carmilla and didn't want to let her go. She couldn't believe that she found the courage to do that. She wasn't brave, but she would do anything for Carmilla. And that is what she did. The rest of they day found them at home, sitting on a couch talking about all the possible outcomes. But they never expected what actually happened.
