Well after a lot of writers block here it is. Chapter 3 :) a HUGE thanks to uniquecharm who gave me such an A-MAH-ZING idea that it snapped me out of my writers block immediately and had me typing in minutes :) without her this wouldn't have been possible. :) so once again THANK YOU UNIQUECHARM :) p.s I seriously recommend you read her story 'never say never' :)
So here it is chapter 3...
'Flora Where have you been?' Emily Floras mother asked.
Flora didn't feel ready to tell her family about Helia just yet. She had been sneaking out to visit him as much as she could over the past few months.
They had agreed to keep their relationship a secret for now.
'just out in the fields' Flora replied. That was her usual excuse.
'Youre spending far too much time in those fields young lady' her father replied sternly.
'Anyway Flora I've been thinking. You are 18 now and I think it's about time that you found a man' her mother said.
'I beg your pardon?' Flora asked enraged.
'Flora you need a man to balance you out.' Emily said crossly.
'NO!' Flora yelled. 'YOU CANNOT MAKE ME FALL IN LOVE!' and with that she ran out the door slamming it behind her.
She ran through the fields to their tree. And sat under it finally letting her tears fall.
After around 10 minutes of crying she sat up against the tree and to her surprise saw Helia walking towards her. He started running when he saw her.
'Whats the matter my flower?' he asked sitting down next to her.
'I-It's my p-parents *sniff* they w-want me to find a man.' Flora said letting a fresh trail of tears flow down her face.
She looked at where they had carved they're anicials in the tree. They had done it around a month ago to symbolise their love.
It just made her sadder thinking that they might not always be together.
'Ssh. It's alright my flower. It's alright.' Helia said holding her in his strong arms. Letting her tears fall on his chest.
'You see my parents will want me to marry some Politician or someone like that who is twice my age. But I love you. I only want to be with you.' Flora explained after she had calmed down.
'Well. What would they say if you told them. You know about us? Helia questioned frightened of what the answer might be.
'Im not sure it could go either way. They might be happy I've found love and be delighted for me. Or they could demand I leave you at once to go marry some old politician or someone. With my parents it's hard to tell.' Flora sighed
'What would your parents say?' she asked.
'well my mother would probably be over the moon and dying to meet you. But my father would probably say I was getting destracted from my goals. To be honest it's more his goal for me then my own.' Helia said gazing into Floras eyes.
'So what should we do?' Flora asked sadly.
'Well... If we tell them about us there could be a mixed reaction. But if we don't your parents will probably start trying to find you a husband...' Helia trailed off not knowing what to do.
'I have to tell them. About us. It's the only way to get them to leave the idea of finding me a man alone. I know they might not take it well but we have to try.' Flora said a determined look on her face.
'OW Fern you stood on my foot!' Bonnie exclaimed.
The pair unknown to Flora and Helia had followed Flora through the field and were now hiding behind the hedge surrounding the field listening to their every word.
'SO THAT'S WHERE SHE'S BEEN SNEAKING OFF TO!' Fern whispered a look of realisation crossing her face.
'who is he?' Bonnie asked her sister questioningly.
'I don't know but we're going to find out!' Fern said a look of determination on her face.
