Hedgie's Angels, Episode Three

Part Five

(The apartment. Kit is drinking tea and has become much more in control since she was saved, though she isn't quite back to her usual self. Terrance sits down with a glass of cola.)

Terrance: All right, let's hear it.

Kit: (sighs) It was years ago. We both lived in the same town and went to the same grade school. Meggy and I were ok friends, though she got on my nerves at times. Anyway, so she had a large birthday sleepover with four or five girls, you know, typical girl stuff. I was expecting a dull evening, but when I got there I saw the most gorgeous creature I had ever seen in my life... green eyes, black hair... I was stunned. She was two years older than me and always had a sort of glimmer in her eyes... I can't explain it very well. Anyway, we got off to a nice start and spent a lot of the night talking to each other... most of the other girls thought I was kinda weird anyway. Then, she asked me to wait for everyone else to go to sleep and come to her room. I did so, and we made love.

Terrance: (taking a drink) How old were you then?

Kit: Fourteen.

Terrance: (spits out her drink) Fourteen?!

Kit: Yeah. So, anyway, we kept doing the same thing for about a year until we were found out. When everyone knew what was going on, I confessed my love for her.

Terrance: And then?

Kit: She cracked one of my ribs.

Terrance: Seriously?

Kit: (nods) She came to see me in the hospital, though... she told me to leave town and if I ever said a word about love to her ever again, she was going to beat me and leave me in a ditch somewhere. So when I healed, I left. My parents didn't really care since their business was mobile and they had known I was gay for a long time... confidentially, I had two daddies. Then someone sent me an obituary column saying she committed suicide. That's it.

Terrance: You're okay now?

Kit: (sighs) I'm fine. Just don't wake me up tomorrow... Jeff can wank himself hard and slippery, I refuse to go to work.

Terrance: (disturbed) Yeah... just go to bed, Kit.

Kit: (V.O.) Murphy's Law is a bitch, but sometimes a nice partner can help you through it. Wait a frick! She kissed me! What the hell was that about? I mean... she kissed me! My straight, heterosexual partner! Well, I assumed she was... oh, damnation and hellfire, I'm just going to sleep!

The End.
