Star) Telling The Truth (Patreon)

The Sunday came, and Jasmine and Stacey were currently waiting at the subway station for Jackie. They were to meet up at eleven, and it was ten minutes of. “You promise to tell her today, right?”

“Mmm…” Stacey smiled and hugged Jasmine’s arm. “She will probably freak when I tell her we turned each other gay.”

“Hah…” Jasmine let out a laugh. She looked at the smug expression on the girl’s face next to her and shook her head. “Sometimes things just happen I guess. But I think this was all meant to be.”

“Yes. And I have never been happier!” Stacey replied causing Jasmine to blush.

“Here!” Jackie’s voice filled the air, drawing the attention of many. She came running over to Jasmine and Stacey. Her bluish purple hair stood out among the crowd. She donned a punk style, which differed from what Jasmine was used to seeing her wear. But Jasmine had to admit. Jackie looked very cute. Her hair was shoulder length from the sides to the back and styled up in a wild way with dark blue and purple highlights on her black hair. 

“What?” Jackie pursed her lips as she looked at Jasmine, who was staring intently at her.

“I was just thinking you looked very cute,” Jasmine replied honestly.

“See, I told you! Jackie is very cute when she is wearing her normal clothes.” Stacey replied with a smile.

“I did not think you were lying, but this really suits her,” Jasmine exclaimed.

“What does a man know about a girl’s style!?” Jackie snarled. She did not know why she was being praised by a boy like this. It was as if he was a girl!

“Ummm….” Stacey blushed as she let go of Jasmine’s arm and reached up and pulled the face mask Jasmine was wearing off. “Because she is a girl….”

Jackie froze. She looked at the beautiful face staring back at her in a daze. “No way… No…. No…. Way! No way! All this time?” Jackie looked at Stacey, who had a mischievous grin on her face, and knew she had been played by her best friend. “So you lied!?”

“No…. Well… Not really. I do not have a boyfriend. But… I have a girlfriend. Jasmine and I were only friends at the start, but we kind of fell in love….” Stacey’s cheeks were burning red.

“So…. You two? No way!” Jackie fell back a few steps and stared at the two. “Wait, have you two….”

“Mmm! I am living with her, after all.” Stacey replied with a nod of her head. Jasmine put her mask back on, not sure what to say. She was letting Stacey do all the talking.

“I see…” Jackie did not know how she felt, but she could tell that lastly, Stacey had been very happy. She no longer seemed down about anything. She looked at Jasmine, who looked very nervous, and finally put away her expression of disbelief. “I owe you an apology. It seems I had you all wrong to begin with. I thought you were a man trying to take advantage of Stacey, but I guess this was not the case. It was Stacey trying to take advantage of you.”

“I was not! Only peeped at her getting changed!” Stacey replied in a huff but quickly covered her mouth and looked at Jasmine. She lowered her hands and then gave her a cheeky smile. “Hehe…”

“Hehe, your butt!” Jackie slapped the back of Stacey’s head. 

“Ouch! Jackie!” Stacey pouted as she looked at her best friend as if she had been seriously betrayed.

“Anyway!” Jackie changed the subject. “To think you were such a beauty hidden under that mask. I only ever saw your eyes under your baseball cap, so I always thought you were a good-looking young man with your height, but…. This takes the cake. You could be a model!”

“Hehe, you do not know, but my Jas has been scouted before look.” Stacey took out the business card that Jasmine thought she had tossed away. 

“Why do you have that!? I threw it away!” Jasmine asked. She did not know why she would dig it out of the trash.

“Why not!? This is a piece of Jasmine’s history. When you become famous in the future with the songs you write and sing you will be able to look back and be like I was scouted once but turned it down. Now look at me!” Stacey’s expression was very serious. She could tell that her girlfriend would really make a name for herself in the future.

“You can sing and write songs?” Jackie was surprised. She really did not know anything about this girl!

“She can listen to this.” Stacey took out her cell phone and played back what she recorded last night without Jasmine knowing. 

Stacey stood frozen in place as the sound of Jasmine’s voice, along with the sound of her acoustic guitar playing, filled her ears.

 A low melody played out into everyone’s ears that passed by.

~~~~~

I used to think my days were going nowhere….

Until the day I saw you from afar….

I used to think I would always be alone out there…..

But then you entered my life…..

You were there to raise me up…..

You were there to keep me from falling……

Somedays are like gold~….

Somedays are like I am flying…..

Because of you, I wrote this song….

And why I strum this guitar….

Oh yeah yeah yeah… 

Oooh I can’t think of a world without you….

“Excuse me…. Can you tell me who is singing this song?”
