Laura frowned. “What are you speaking about?”

“No – no, she will’t.” Juliette felt tears spring to her eyes as she clutched on the arms of the couch, making an attempt to carry onto one thing regular as her world spun on its axis. Would she ever see Liv once more? Juliette couldn’t stand the considered dwelling with out Liv beside her.

“I’m sorry, sweetie. I understand how shut the 2 of you have been.” Laura got here to place an arm round Juliette’s shoulders.

“I do know it’s exhausting – dropping a good friend all the time is – however you two can nonetheless be in contact. And I’m positive Liv shall be again to go to –”

“No, you don’t perceive!” Juliette realized she was on her ft. She shouldn’t shout, however she controlling her voice was the very last thing on her thoughts proper now.

“Juliette, don’t misery your self. You’ve gotten different pals. You possibly can –”

“Liv isn’t only a good friend! I really like her, mother!”

However Juliette couldn’t do that, not anymore. She couldn’t bear to lose Liv. Not like this. Not when there was something she may do about it. Possibly it was far too late, however she needed to strive. She needed to combat for the girl she cherished.

That meant doing the factor that terrified her most… however Juliette realized that now that it had come right down to a selection, she selected Liv. She might lose her mom without end, however she wanted Liv greater than she wanted anybody or the rest.

“Rattling proper you’re not, as a result of we’re going to get you some correct assist. There are some glorious amenities…”

A conversion camp. Her mother wished to ship her to a conversion camp.

After all, Laura by no means would have accepted her. Juliette had recognized that, however that didn’t make it damage any much less. She hadn’t thought her coronary heart may grow to be any extra damaged and mangled than it already was, however she had been flawed.

“Juliette? What’s going – oh. Laura advised you.”

Juliette seemed up at Kane with pleading eyes. Absolutely, he would rise up for her. Juliette had stood up for homosexual rights to her mom a number of instances, however now, she couldn’t even deliver herself to look Laura within the eye.
