Clothes were thrown around my bedroom, the floor coated in clothes and books, the plants hanging limply from the lack of proper care. A gentle breeze blew through the room of the open window, curtains fluttering. I was staring at the ceiling, book surrounding the right side of my body but it was getting really hard to focus on those things. Everything was a mess. Ever since I found out I was pregnant, I had never thought this would happen, I had been so careful but that was proving to be a waste.
It also didn't help that my boyfriend of three to four years was acting strangely, he wasn't avoiding me, we went on dates and cuddled under the stars but he was hiding something. He had never been a good liar, it was always obvious when he was lying. I just wish I knew what it was, and it only made matters worse that the girls couldn't even look me in the eye anymore. I sighed, sitting up and running my fingers through my hair, combing through the tangled mess.
I was wearing a loose t-shirt with some black yoga pants, my hair was hung around me in big tangles, looking in the mirror it was obvious I was a mess, my usually combed long light brown hair that had my bangs blonde, my tan skin was slightly paler from the lack of gardening but it was still tan per usual, my usually bright and gleaming forest green eyes were dull and lifeless, tinted red from the crying.
Sure, I could piece myself together for class but after that especially on weekends I went back to lounging around my room, after the first week no one bothered me, I wasn't involved in anything with anyone. Chatta, my bonded pixie, was off in pixie village and visited most of the time. Right now, she was with one of the baby pixies, babysitting, a hobby she had picked up for fun.
Reaching for my phone, I held the oval-like machine in my hand, sliding my fingers over the light pink buttons, my phone screen popped up, floating above the x-like thing in the top center above the keypad. I touched my contacts and scrolled down to find Helia's number, my finger hovered over the number before I furrowed my eyebrows, sighing once more I threw my phone on the bed.
Perhaps I should piece myself together, but everything was a mess, I could hear the plants they were whispering worries about me. Guilt flooded my ever sense, I was worrying everyone by doing this, shutting everyone out, pulling away and hiding in my own personal shell, despite how safe I felt in my own personal shell it was lonely. Coming to a decision I got off the bed and headed towards my closet, it was mostly filled with mixes of greens and pinks, casually rolling my eyes I rummaged through the clothes, choosing a pink flowery tank top, white ripped skinny jeans, and light brown boots.
I went to the bathroom inside the room, Mrs. Faragonda had taken the liberty of giving us each our own personal rooms which I was thankful for since Bloom would have made me get out of my bed and would not have let our room come to this. After brushing a few of the tangles and knots out of my hair, which now looked more like a lion's mane, I hopped into the shower, allowing the hot water to wash away all of the grim and greases.
After fifteen minutes I walked out, towel-drying my hair and wearing the outfit I picked out earlier, I ran my fingers through my hair and sat down at my desk, I glanced in my leaf-shaped mirror and started to apply a light-code of lip gloss, tying my hair up into a bun and placing a pink flower in my hair. I sighed after placing my lip gloss back with my other make-up and whimpered slightly, I missed the girls, we barely talked anymore and when we did it was awkward.
I stared at the friendship bracelet Bloom gave us all for 'Christmas' a holiday from Earth, jiggling it around by moving my wrist, it made me miss the girls even more. Suddenly my phone rang and I almost jumped before breathing a sigh of relief, I lifted the phone staring at the name flashing across it. Helia.
"Hey Helia." I said, clearing my throat silently, a part of me longed to talk to him, to confront him about what happened, about what I had discovered. But another part of me wanted to ignore him and be angry at him for lying to me or not telling me the truth.
"Hey Flora. Can we meet up? I need to tell you something really important." Helia responded, his voice sounded slightly nervous, as if he was afraid of my response of what was so 'important' that he had to meet up.
Realizing I had been silent for the past minute I nodded to myself, "Yeah, sure, I have something I really need to talk to you about too." I said sliding my gaze towards the window, watching the view of the courtyard.
"Cool, I'll be over in five."
Once again I nodded to myself, my gut twisting and butterflies filling my stomach, something felt off, I had a really bad feeling that something was going to happen, "Yeah sure, see you then." I said hanging up, maybe I was nervous about telling him. What would he say anyways? And what was he hiding from me? Damn the questions are making me fidget and I still have to get down there.
Casting a quick spell to rejuvenate the plants I walked out of my room, hurrying to one of the doors leading to the courtyard and down the sand path to the entrance, I could hear the distant sound of a motor and in a blink Helia was in front of me, lifting his helmet off. "Hey Flora." He said with an uneasy expression as he hopped off the bike, but not before turning the engine off.
"Hey." I nodded, a part of me stung that he didn't call me 'Flower' or something along those lines, "So where are we going?" I asked ignoring the feeling by shifting from foot to foot, my nerves were really getting to me and I was fidgeting slightly, I hid my hands behind my back so he wouldn't notice me wringing my hands out.
"Um I actually want to talk here." Helia said, scratching his neck before he guided me to a nearby bench, I tried to make myself comfortable but there was still the anxious feeling settling in my stomach, "Look Flora, I really need to tell you something, really important." He seemed to be struggling for words and he wouldn't look me in the eye.
I grabbed his hands slightly and as comfortingly as I could, "Whatever it is, you can tell me, but I also have to tell you something, it is really important." I said and he nodded, I had never felt this awkwardness with Helia before, he was always so confident even when he was reassuring me I could heal the tree of life.
The gesture, which was met to reassure him, only seemed to make him more uncomfortable, "I really do love you Flora, but I want to break up." He said and I stopped, frozen in shock, what? Did I just hear him right? My brain started to fill with panic, what about our child? A tiny voice whispered in the back of my mind. "I have been seeing someone and while I love you I am in love with Crystal."
I felt him grab ahold of my hands and I ripped them away, "I can't believe you." I said, almost yelling, "How long has this been going on? How long have you been cheating on me? How long have you been lying to me?" The questions flooded out of my mouth as I stood up and pulled even further away from him.
Helia looked down at his hands, before he glanced up, "Two months." He whispered and I just stopped, I have been pregnant for almost three months so my baby was conceived out of love, I just stood there and crossed my arms, "What did you want to tell me?" He finally asked, breaking the silence.
I laughed bitterly, and he flinched, "You honestly think I would tell you after you lied to me for two freaking months. Two freaking months Helia! I doubt you even ever loved me, just something to pass the time so you could go back to your so-called 'childhood friend.'" I spat harshly and he just sighed standing up.
"Flora I did love you, I was in love with you." Helia said and I just glared at him walking away, not caring when he called after me, a lone tear fell down my cheek, after that a dame broke loose and I was crying, sobbing almost, as I ran through the hallways and slammed the door of my room.
I could have been crying for hours on the bed but my eyes were stinging, finally I could hear the girls making their way through the dorm, a soft knock on the door, "Come in." I said lifting my head up before falling back on the pillow.
"Flora? What happened to you?" I could hear Stella ask as her weight settled on the bed and she was running her fingers through my hair, she glanced at my tear-stained face and pulled me into a hug, "Girls! Get your butts in here right now!" She screamed and the rest of the girls flooded in moments later, their responses sounding similar to what Stella said but not quite the same.
"Helia broke up with me, he dumped me for Crystal. He was also cheating on me. How could he do this to me? Why would he do this to me? I loved him. I still do, why me?" I sobbed into my pillow as Stella ran her fingers through my hair, they were silent for a minute and I glanced up and saw the guilt on their faces, "Did you know?" I whispered brokenly but they still heard me.
"Flora-" Aisha started but I cut her off by pulling away, horror filled my eyes, they did this to me, they lied to me.
"How could you?" I whispered, "How could you!? I trusted you, I thought we were friend but at the first test you fail me!" I yanked off the friendship bracelet and threw it on the floor, "Get out! Take your lie-filled bracelet and get the hell out!" I screamed, they stood in their positions still staring at me with those damn guilty eyes, "You heard me! Get the hell out! We are not friends anymore! Go hang out with Crystal! Just get the hell out of my life! I hate you!" I screamed again, practically forcing them out of the room.
Tecna sighed shutting the door behind them as I fell to my knees and started sobbing harshly, I didn't think, I just did, I grabbed a suitcase and snapped my fingers watching as all of my things filled the suitcase and extra bags. I ripped a paper from my notebook and grabbed a pen.
Dear Girls,
I can't believe you would do this to me! I don't understand it, I thought we were friends, heck I thought I could count on you but I was dead wrong. You not only lied to me but you let a boy lead me on like that. I am done, I don't want to be found, especially not by you, I want you to stay the hell out of my life forever. But there is one thing I want you to remember, remember the damage you have done. I will trust you with this final piece of information, if you even deserve that, I am almost three months pregnant. If you ever tell the boys, I will never talk to you again, I will hate you forever and not once look back.
One day I might want to forgive you, I might want you, and possibly the boys back in my life, but until then, don't try to find me, don't think that I will want you to find me. I am going to disappear for a while, just until I can live with what you have done, I don't fully blame you I blame the outcome of your actions. (Caused by Helia). I hate to admit this now but I will miss you girls. Bloom with her advice and love for reading. Stella with her fashionable sense but her supportive personality. Tecna with her logic and quick-thinking. Musa with her music and ability to sing and dance. Aisha with her supportive personality and love for dancing.
Forever a Winx
Flora
I wiped the remaining teardrops on my arm and put the letter in an envelope decorated with a red rose. Grabbing another paper from the notebook, I sighed and tapped my chin thoughtfully, I know the girls will not bother to talk to me after I practically kicked them out of my room so I could take as long as I want to write these letters, I put Winx on the back of the envelope above the rose, before I began writing.
Dear Specialist,
I thought that I was like your little sister, that you at least cared about me, I always saw you boys, other than Helia, as the big brothers I never had. I wish you had told me, I wish that you wouldn't have let my heart break. I thought you at least cared and would not love to see me cry, but I was wrong. You don't deserve that title, you don't deserve anything that life has given you. Even though I should hate you, I should, I can't I just feel disappointed and hurt. You may not have loaded the gun but you helped pull the trigger and that is enough.
The one thing I ask for you is that you protect my ex-best friends, you love them, you don't hurt them, because I will come back and beat you to oblivion and back. They love you and I would never wish the kind of pain I feel on them, they don't deserve that, please don't break my friends' hearts. That is the last thing I want you to do, I don't care if you hate me, I really don't but I will not let you hurt my friends.
I thought you cared
Flora
I sighed folding the letter into an envelope and signing the back with specialist minus Helia. I glanced around my emptied room and sighed one last time, closing my eyes and exhaling, this was for the best, I was going to be ok. I placed the envelopes on my desk, one on top of the other before an idea hit me, I would go to my family first and then disappear so I can keep in contact with them.
I created a portal looking for one last time at the room before leaving, as long as I needed to be gone for. Feeling the ground sway beneath me I buckled before regaining my balance and opening my eyes, I was in my living room, "Flora!" Mom exclaimed, surprise etched on her face as she wrapped her arms around me, I hugged her back, crying silently, "What happened dear? Wait one minute, Rollos! Get your butt in here right now!" My father appeared around the corner and his expression annoyance disappeared filled with worry.
"What happened sweet Flower?" Dad asked and I completely broke down in his arms as he glanced up at mom before resting his head on my own with Mom rubbing my back to try and soothe me, I glanced up at my father as he wiped the tears from my eyes and mom continued to rub my back.
"It's Helia, he broke up with me for Princess Crystal." I sobbed, tears falling down my face as my father's expression became angry and protective, "He cheated on me with her, lied to me, along with the girls and guys. Why would they do this to me? I thought they cared about me." I continued to sob into my father's chest.
He rubbed my hair soothingly, "Oh honey, I am so sorry." Mom said brushing my bangs back as I leaned into her and Dad got up from the couch and started to pace the room, causing a dizzy wave to crash into my, I rubbed my temple and my mom looked at me alarmed, "Flora, I need you to answer a serious question for me. Are you pregnant?" She asked, pulling back and staring into my face.
I nodded and my father growled in anger, startling me, "That idiotic boy not only cheats on my baby girl but gets her pregnant, I will beat the living crap out of that dumb specialist." Dad said, grabbing his hoodie, mom stood up and put and hand on his arm to stop him, "You want me to stay here and let that boy live." Dad growled.
"Dad. Please don't, I just want to come here to say good-bye, I need to be on my own for a little bit. I will contact you guys every week." I promised and my dad reluctantly nodded, pulling me into a bear hug as I let a few more tears go.
My mom did the same too as she pulled out a map of the Magic Dimension and handed me my bank account card, "I love you my little blossom, please be careful and come here any time you need to." I nodded, creating another portal and walking through.
I ended up on a faraway planet, a peaceful planet far away from Magix, I sighed, tightening my hold on my bag and walking through the city for a little bit before finding a hotel, I started to unpack slightly in my hotel room before I was startled to see Chatta, "Chatta! What are you doing here?" I asked after hugging her.
She put her hands on her hips and pouted, "The bigger question is what are you doing here?" She asked in a scolding tone, "Flora you are my bonded fairy, I know everything about what has happened and I am so sorry but I can help. I am great with kids." Chatta said with a boasting smile on her face as I laughed and hugged her.
"Oh Chatta!" I giggled, sitting down on the bed with her beside me, "I suppose I should get your bed out." I snapped my fingers as the bed materialized out of my suitcase and in my hand, Chatta grinned and dove straight for the bed, "Now I have to get a job and an apartment, are you sure you want to stay here Chatta?" I asked and she nodded snuggling into her bed as I rolled my eyes.
It has been almost six months since we moved here, I had moved out of the hotel room and into a comfy apartment with a beautiful view of the forest, I got a job at the local clinic and was now expecting any day, right now I was behind the desk when I felt a sharp pain in my stomach, I closed my eyes and exhaled, as a contraction hit me, it had been five minutes since my last one and I didn't want to believe the day was here. Chatta appeared beside me, she had gone back to Magix to talk to the other pixies, her expression became worried, "Flora the baby is coming." She exclaimed.
I nodded, breathing heavily as someone called for the ambulance and another contraction hit me, "Call my parents Chatta and hurry." I breathed deeply as she disappeared again and reappeared with my parents and Miele. They rushed to me, after that everything became a blur of events and suddenly I was pushing harshly, screaming at the top of my lungs, I thought I was done after one baby was out but I was wrong as the doctor told me to keep pushing and I fell asleep watching me mother and father holding two baby girls each.
When I woke up again I was still in the room, the doctor walking in with my two babies and I gasped seeing two beautiful little girls, both sound asleep, the doctor rested them on my arms and I almost cried at how much love I felt for them the minute I looked at them, one had beautiful light brown hair like mine but it was more blonde than brown, beautiful tan skin and her eyes were closed. The other baby had dark blue almost black colored hair, the same tan skin and her eyes were closed.
The dirty-blonde haired baby yawned and opened her eyes revealing beautiful baby blue eyes and I almost cried at how beautiful she was and the eyes that were like her fathers, "You both are so beautiful." I cooed rocking the baby slightly as she yawned again which woke the other baby up and she opened her eyes this time revealing beautiful dark blue eyes tinged with green, "I think I'll name you Aurora." I said to the dark-haired baby. I glanced towards the other baby, "And I think I'll name you Janette."
"Beautiful names." The doctor said, "Your family wishes to come in along with your bonded pixie." He informed opening the door to reveal my mom, dad, Miele, and Chatta, they flooded to my bedside instantly, questions flooding from their mouths, my mom picked up Janette and rocked her slightly watching as the doctor left closing the door behind him.
"What will you name this little one?" My mom asked softly as she continued to rock Janette with dad peering over her shoulder.
"Janette Rose Natura." I said softly as I reached my arms out to grab Janette back and my mom chuckled handing her back to me, "And this is Aurora Daisy Natura." I said cuddling Aurora tightly in my arms, I yawned and mom smiled, kissing my forehead.
"Come on, let's give Flora some rest." Mom said pulling my dad and Miele out of the room, Chatta conjured a bed for herself and started to fall asleep as I did beside her, holding my little girls in my arms, no matter what I would never let them go.
Author's note: I know I did change the story from being in the real-world to being the actual show and I am partially sorry for that but at the same time I couldn't let the story continue since for one I have had a new laptop since Christmas and all of my old stories are on my old computer, also my computer hasn't been working properly too so I only write on my laptop. Thank you for sticking with me and I will be updating Amicix very soon. Also I choose Natura for Flora's last name because Natura is Italian for Nature and Flora is the fairy of nature so it only fits. Anyways this is goodnight from me and I am so excited for your response to Amicix and this story, comment if I should continue or just delete this story.
