This Is How A Heart Breaks, The Graduate, Mrs Robinson/ofc, Before Sylvia met Mr. Robinson, she had a crush on another woman. She didn't really want to go out with him, but...
A/N: So, as is obvious by the photos shown above, I decided to try and extend the idea of Sylvia Robinson being a secretive bi-sexual type.
The first time that Sylvia Redfern realized she was bi-sexual was the day she noticed just how incredibly beautiful her mother’s best friend, Kellie Cooper was. She had, unfortunately, developed a rather serious crush on the woman. At just 14, however, she was far, far too young to act on it. By the time she was old enough to act… Kellie had moved away.
As it happened, around the same time, the same year that Sylvia turned 16, Kellie’s sister, her slightly older sister, had moved into Kellie’s old house. Jennie was just as beautiful, except she seemed to be struggling to cope with something, Sylvia was too young to realize exactly what that something was, and yet she felt herself fall for the woman the day she saw Jennie sitting alone on her porch. Jennie had been crying, something clearly wrong and Sylvia had moved closer, unable to stop herself reaching out to the woman.
Sylvia had paused on the porch steps, suddenly somehow nervous. She was, after all, young and new to the whole idea of a relationship between two women, and yet she knew she wanted to be the one that Jennie could trust, perhaps even love. That had been the day she lost her innocence. All the same, even years later, she could never bring herself to loathe Jennie. The woman had been kind, warm and friendly and yet she had been so clearly hurt that for Sylvia, all she wanted was to protect her.
Sylvia’s mother had found out, chased Jennie out of town and sent her daughter to a convent school. Little did her mother know she was introducing Sylvia to the girl who would later become something of an obsession, and a problem, throughout Sylvia’s life.
The girl in question, Carolyn Robinson, had been the sister of an older boy at the nearby school for boys, a school that taught it’s boys exactly how to negotiate their way through life. Carolyn, aged just 18, was far less daunting of a prospect.
Carolyn was a shy girl, fragile and strangely broken and yet, she was utterly beautiful. She had been sweet enough when Sylvia was thrown into the mix at the school, put into the same dormitory as Carolyn, the two girls all alone in their dorm. The relationship had been purely platonic for the better part of a year. It was after spring break when Carolyn had returned to the dorm bruised and bloodied, clearly having been beaten into submission that the relationship escalated.
Carolyn had been a little nervous at first, allowing Sylvia to take the lead. Sylvia had, at that point completely unknowingly, taken what was left of Carolyn’s innocence from her. She had been the one to kiss Carolyn, to hold her and comfort her.
Sylvia’s parents had, once again, found out. Determined to put an end to it all, they had all but forced Sylvia to marry Robert, Carolyn’s vicious and rough older brother. She was to be the youngest in a long succession of Mrs. Robinsons. She was beaten, unable to stop the wedding and unable to go back to the woman she truly loved.
She had given in, allowing herself to be told what to do for a long time, only challenging her husband when she met, and fell for Benjamin. By the time she met Lydia, she was finally free of Robert and Benjamin’s influences, and able to romance and be romanced by Jennie’s granddaughter, Lydia.
