Demons Of LoveㅣGirlXGirl

Chapter 30

"Holly, turn around the car, now!"

"Wait, why? What happened?" she said, startled, before driving back.

"I remembered when Casey could be. She brought me there on our first date. She said she visited the place when she felt sad and wanted to be alone" Isabella quickly explained the location of the place and waited impatiently as Holly drove as fast as possible. Isabella prayed to the gods that she was right and Casey was there. If not, she was going to go insane.

A few minutes later, Holly was already parking down the broken road that led to the top of the hill. Before she could even cut the engine, Isabella rushed out of the car and ran as fast as she could, calling out Casey's name desperately. She stopped in her tracks when she finally saw her a minute later, slumped back against a tree, her eyes slowen from the constant stream of tears as she watched the view of the city in the distance. She looked completely broken and weak, smaller than Isabella had ever seen her before.

She hesitantly walked up to her, careful to not scare her. "Case?" she quietly said. Isabella sat down next to her and slowly took her limp hand in hers. Casey didn't respond.

"Baby, are you okay? You are scaring me" Isabella whispered, holding in her cries.

The girl finally shook her head weakly. Isabella turned her body to her and cupped her cheek gently, carefully turning her head in her direction. The redhead immediately felt the need to cry when two wet bloodshot eyes stared back her. It was scarier to look at her in this state than what she imagined.

Isabella decided to drop all questions and not pressure her to talk about what had happened yet. She wanted to hear her out only once she felt ready all by herself. However, Isabella wanted to stay next to her in those tough moments. She wanted Casey to know that she could always count on her, that she had her immense love and support no matter what happened.

"Can I hug you, baby?" she whispered.

Without answering, Casey's body fell limp on Isabella's. She immediately held her close and squeezed her between her arms. The redhead carefully put the jacket over her shoulders in attempt to warm up her cold skin. Casey slowly hugged her by the waist and buried her face into her neck. They stood in complete silence as Isabella softly caressed her hair, put small pecks on her head and cheeks, desperately trying to calm her down.

She thought she could be strong for her girlfriend, but the image of her slowly breaking apart didn't leave her a choice but to follow her into her misery.

Isabella heard a shift behind herself and turned to look back, knowing it was Carly and Holly. She shook her head at them, saying that Casey wasn't okay at all and that they needed some time alone. Holly nodded and held Carly's hand, pulling her back towards the car to wait for them somewhere warm.

Casey and Isabella stood like that for a few long minutes, not moving, not talking, just eyes filled with unshed tears. Casey suddenly tightened her hands around Isabella's waist and buried her face deeper into her neck as she started sobbing hard out of the sudden. Isabella held her strong in her arms as she felt her tears drop on her chest, her torturous sobs breaking her heart ever further. The redhead cried with her, not because she was sad, but because she was able to feel her girlfriend's pain.

As some point Isabella thought she heard a barely audible mumble come from Casey. "Did you say something, baby?" she carefully asked as she continued to caress her hair.

"He's dead" Casey said more pronounced as her body shook with her sobs. Isabella froze when she heard her words.

Who's dead? Oh God, Casey...
