Crazy Mothers

I really need help.

Okay, so me and my girlfriend got together about two months ago, which was well, amazing. We'd been best friends for over five years beforehand, since I moved when we were like eleven. We'd had a bit of a hitch starting out, because she didn't want to tell anyone mainly because she's still struggling with whether she's gay, bi or straight (I don't blame her, it gets all the more confusing when you throw in that I'm trying to figure out if I'm trans or not). But after a couple of weeks we figured out a system and have kept it from our friends since. Now here comes the problem. Our moms somehow found out (we're still not sure of how) and didn't take it too well. My mom didn't care as much, she told me she'd rather we just stay friends, 'cause she's the best friend I've ever had and if this ends up not being "right" it could screw up everything. Her mom took it a little differently. She's pretty much banned her from seeing me "in the mean time" told my mom she thinks that the only reason we were even friends was because I was "pursuing her in the guise of friendship" (again friends since like 10 years old) that I have a "strong personality" and I've pretty much talked her into this, and that she's not sure she "supports" a friendship between us even if we are only friends. Now she and my mom, who were friends before, aren't speaking anymore and I can't even see my best friend. I honestly don't know what to do. I'm completely and madly in teenage love with this girl, I've had a crush on her for years. She's told me that she loves me, and that even if we have to wait until we graduate and move out to be together, she'll do it. But that's more than two years, and I don't know if I can do it.. Does anyone have any advice at all?
