Don't worry Kris, it all has to be up hill from here, right?

Kris POV:

I did not win either of those arguments, not even close.

Liz was never one to let me hurt myself, her words.

I still didn't see how deciding to drop my classes to work with Liz was hurting myself.

I could however admit that canceling the surgery very much was, but it being for Alice made it worth it.

Mistress did not agree.

'I don't care what she did to break you this time, but you are not making that call! You've wanted this too much, I can see in your eyes every time the prosthetic comes off, how much it hurts. I'm not letting you, broken or not. You will not do that for HER!'

'Mistress, she didn't break me, I already have been since you meet me, you've known that for awhile. She, and you, just taught me how to be broken For someone, instead of because of someone or something.'

We argued that point with interjections from the others until they left and into the night.

Aly crying and feeling guilty for it was what made me consider things differently.

I still did not agree on either front, but did I seem like a person that could really fight my Best friend and Mistress on anything before crumbling into my submissive state?

As long as I kept it, that other Alice wouldn't hurt Aly and Other would be happy and know I loved her too.

I would just have to work a different angle to keep it pushed off, I already sent a cancellation to the Dr and erased the calendar alerts.

All I had to do now was keep everyone that cared enough to protest distracted.

Letting them win the fight about college was helping, I made Liz agree that I could still help with her work as long as it didn't affect my course work.

Her learning why I canceled it in the first place was scary.

I didn't realize how much anger she was holding back from Alice.

-and me

'You absolute bitch, another fucking thing they were going to sacrifice for you and still when your true colors show, the first thing you do is hurt them again, I should have just been done with you from the start! Nothing to say for yourself?! I thought not, maybe this will make you think about someone other than yourself for once!'

'MMMMHMGMMG!'

Mistress really didn't expect an answer, in fact had made it impossible.

Both Alice and me were bound, gagged, and on our knees in front of her, only two days had passed from when everything came out and she really seemed to need to rant at us.

I could imagine the steam coming out of her, I did feel bad, but I believed I had made the best move available, suboptimal or not, every other thing I could have thought to do would have been worse.

Other Alice being completely unrepentant when she was brought out did not help at all.

'We came to an understanding and I intend to-' *Slap*

It was the first time I'd ever seen mistress strike in true anger, all three of us stood in shock.

Mistress was the first to come back to herself, I could tell what happened had shaken her.

'You lost the right to make those types of calls or did you forget the rules and WHY I PUT THEM THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE! Kris I thought we were passed this, if I can't trust you two alone why am I letting her near you? Is it me, do you need someone that can protect you better?'

'NO I Need you! I just can't lose her, either of her!'

'Then you and me are going to have to figure something out, I need to think...'

I don't remember the rest of that night very well, Liz dropped both of us Deep, I know she left and Seb had me in his arms, beyond that I only know that Sarah had Aly for the night because of the next morning.

All of that lead me here, back on campus in too long, despite the medical exemptions that would have only required me to sit exams Mistress Decided I needed to be around others in a controlled environment.

I had picked all my classes back up and would be present for all of them everyday from now on.

Seb and Sarah would be with me when they could and Alice contact was to be kept to a minimum unless Liz was Around.

I'd been in public as the new me before, even been around a few people that knew me from before, but this felt different.

Like I was about to be put on stage and have to justify myself to the world at large.

However my worst fears never came true, most were in their own worlds too much to care and most of the attention I received was naked sexual interest.

For good or bad I was still me and I could tell that for all Liz tried to take care of me before sending me off, I was going to be desperate by the time I made it home to her.

Thankfully I'd gotten used to operating under such conditions and with some effort I was doing better in my classes than when I was dating Seb.

It was just my luck that the only real issue came when Seb, Sarah, and even Alice weren't nearby.

I didn't have many friends left when this year started, and I was too focused on my goals to notice ones I could have built outside the gym.

That didn't mean others didn't think we could become friends, or that there was a friendship already there.

Getting body checked into the wall then dragged into an empty room was rough way to find out that someone thought you had a deeper relationship than you did.

That they had opinions on my transition was just icing on the cake.
