A/N: Hey all. I'm so sorry everyone for how long this has taken to get out. Uni went back and so while I wrote small parts out by hand I couldn't find time to write it all out. So that's what I'm gonna do while I have a month off.
This chapter is actually what started this story. I dreamed this scene one night and woke up deciding to write the story to go before it after I spent some time thinking of it. So I'm glad I finally got to write this.
And enjoy this chapter because things are gonna get a little angsty for a few chapters soon. I promise to have another chapter out within a week.
Chapter 10: Coming Clean
It was raining. Really raining. The type of rain where if you stand outside for more than five seconds you're drenched to the bone. Hence the girls inside causing havoc inside rather than outside. It's hard to blow stuff up and watch the fire damage everything if the rain just puts the fire out.
Maybe that was why Kelly didn't notice her missing girlfriend till late afternoon.
It had hit five in the afternoon and Kelly had not seen her gorgeous girlfriend since she rushed out of their room that morning because the twins had blown up their Trinski supply, leaving a warm bed and adoring brunette behind.
"Hey Polly?" she called to the Head Geek.
Polly, who was in the middle of crashing some poor guys fortune on the stock market, looked up at the disgruntled Head Girl.
"Yeah Kel?" she asked, smirk fading.
"Have you seen Belle today?" Kelly asked.
The idea of a missing girlfriend in St Trinians was worrisome, especially since everyone loved Belle.
As a general rule the incident with her father was never mentioned by anyone on pain of death at Kelly's claws. Everyone knew the was more to the story than they knew but they were all to scared of what Kelly would do to them if they asked about it.
Polly looked confused as she looked at Kelly.
"No. It's been raining all day so I've been here. She hasn't come in. We all just assumed she was in your room." She explained.
Kelly was not pleased, and now she was worried.
"I just checked, she's not there. Has she gotten into a fight with anyone?" Kelly asked, trying to remember.
"No. She tends to stay out of trouble so it won't reflect badly on you." Polly replied.
Kelly frowned, wondering what to do.
"Polly, see if you can find her on CCTV." She ordered.
Polly pulled up the security feed and started searching the school, becoming increasingly concerned when she couldn't locate the girl.
"I can't find her. She's not in the common room, the totties lounge, her aunts office, the sparring rooms…she's nowhere." Polly said, concerned not only for Belle but for herself as Kelly's eyes flashed.
"Keep looking." Kelly growled.
[Where the hell is she? She hasn't gotten in a fight. Not with her aunt. Prank?] she wondered.
"Tania. Tara." She called.
The twins came running.
"Yeah Kel?" they asked in unison.
"Is Belle involved in any pranks?" She asked.
When it came to pranks, the twins knew every prank planned, in progress and finished that was going on.
"No Kel. She's kinda scared everyone off that after last time when the Geeks leaked that footage of her returning to the dorms from your room half-naked and she totally crashed their computers. Took Polly days to fix it. No one's gone near her since." They explained.
Kelly smiled fondly at the memory. Belle hadn't really cared about the footage but she had wanted vengeance for the prank from her first night and to leave a lasting impression.
It had worked.
"Kelly. I think I've found her." Polly called.
Kelly hurried over to the computer.
"Where?" she demanded.
"Outside." Polly replied, pointing at one of the screens.
Kelly squinted at the indicated screen to try and see through the heavy rain. She could vaguely make out a figure on the wrap-around balcony, laying on the wall.
Is she insane?" Kelly screeched. "She's going to freeze to death!"
And then she was storming out of the dorm and down towards the balcony.
"If you don't kill her first." Polly mumbled after the older girl.
Kelly stormed down the corridor towards the doors to the balcony Belle was on, furious.
[What the hell is wrong with her? She's going to get a cold or freeze to death or lose a limb or, or, or…or any number of other things that don't end well! I'm going to kill her!]
Kelly made it to the doors at last and opened one.
"Belle! Get in here now! Belle!" she yelled above the rain.
Belle either couldn't hear her, or was ignoring her, neither of which improved Kelly's moved.
Sighing she ran out onto the balcony and over to Belle. She could already feel the freezing cold as the rain started to soak through her clothes.
[Bloody hell. The things I do for this girl.] she thought.
Reaching the brunette she realised she hadn't been ignored but that Belle couldn't hear her over the rain and… her own singing?
[Since when did Belle sing?] she wondered.
"This is the last night you'll be alone.
Look me in the eyes so I know you know,
I'm everywhere you want me to be.
The last night you'll spend alone.
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go.
I'm everything you need me to be."
[Oh wow. Her voice is amazing. Even over the rain. I wonder what the song is? Christ its cold. She can sing inside, where she won't freeze to death.] she decided even though she didn't want to interrupt the amazing voice.
"Belle!" She called, gently reaching out to touch the younger girls arm.
Belle's eyes slowly opened, the grin on her face turning into a warm smile the moment she saw Kelly, making the older girls heart melt. Belle always made her feel special.
"Hey Kel. Isn't the weather great? I've always loved the rain."
"Belle, it's freezing and wet. Now come inside. You're gonna freeze to death out here!" she pointed out.
[Christ. Just come inside Belle. I'm freezing and your lips are turning blue and…Christ! She's actually freezing!] Kelly realised with a start.
"No thanks. I love the rain. Hey! Let's go to the pitch! I bet the school looks awesome in the rain!" Belle said with a happy smile.
Before Kelly could protest, Belle rolled off the ledge, free-falling the large distance to the ground below.
"Fuck! Belle!" Kelly yelled, lunging for the girl a second too late.
She watched as Belle's body gracefully twisted in the air before the brunette landed on her feet, flipping her wet hair back as she straightened up with a grin.
"Come on!" she called up to Kelly.
"Are you insane! Get inside now!" Kelly yelled, scared and angry.
Belle just laughed and took off for the pitch at a sprint.
"She's out of her fucking mind." Kelly mumbled.
Lightning tore across the sky as thunder rumbled.
"Fuck." She muttered.
Turning for the doors she took off, tearing through the halls as she raced to get outside and find Belle.
[I'll drag the bloody girl in by her hair if I have too.] she thought with a growl.
Tearing out the front doors she headed to the hocky pitch.
She paused upon reaching the pitch. Belle was spinning around, arms spread wide and a smile on her face.
[She looks gorgeous. And insane.] Kelly thought before heading over.
"Belle!" she called.
The girl turned to her and smiled.
"Kelly! Dance with me!" she yelled happily, taking the older girls hands.
"What? Belle, it's freezing and wet. Let's just go inside!" Kelly pleaded.
Belle just grinned at her and twirled the Head Girl around. Kelly couldn't help but laugh, the romantic in her finding the whole thing terribly romantic and cute.
Belle pulled her close and leaned into her ear.
"Sick and Tired of this world
There's no more air
Trippin' over myself
Goin' nowhere
Waiting
Suffocating
No direction
And I took a dive
And on the way down
I saw you
And you saved me
From myself
And I won't forget
The way you loved me
On the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held onto you"
Kelly couldn't stop her smile. Belle was adorable. The younger girl had her arms around Kelly's neck, hands gently playing with her hair as she softly sung in her ear and Kelly's arms had settled around the brunette's waist.
"I've been wondering why
It's only me
Have you always been inside
Waiting to breathe
It's alright
Sunlight
On my face
I wake up and yeah, I'm alive
'cause on the way down
I saw you
And you saved me
From myself
And I won't forget
The way you loved me
On the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held onto you"
Kelly fell even more in love with the girl in that moment. Gently she pulled back and spun the younger girl away from her before pulling her back in.
"I was so afraid
Of going under
But now
The weight of the world
Feels like nothing, no, nothing
Down, down, down
You're all I wanted
Down, down, down
You're all I needed
Down, down, down
You're all I wanted
You're all I needed
Awww Awww Awww Awww."
They continued to dance around, lost in their own world. Both smiling lovingly at the other.
"And I won't forget the way you loved me
All that I wanted
All that I needed.
Oh on the way down
I saw you
And you saved me
From myself
And I won't forget
The way you loved me
On the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held onto you
Down, down, down
But I held onto you
Down, down, down
But I held onto you"
They slowly stopped dancing and just stood there, staring at each other in silence as the rain fell down on them.
Belle opened her mouth, hesitated, and then took a deep breath.
She leaned up so she was almost eye-level with the older girl.
"I am so in love with you Kelly Jones." She whispered.
Lightning flashed overhead and thunder rumbled in the distance as the rain poured down on them, yet all Kelly could see was Belle's emotion filled green eyes and all she could hear was her soft, loving voice.
She smiled brightly and leant down to test their foreheads together.
"I am so in love with you too Belle Fritton." She relied softly.
She gently leant in to press their lips together in a soft and loving embrace as they held tight to each other, a calm in the middle of a storm as the rain pelted down on them.
Pulling back, Kelly smirked at the younger girl.
"How about we go back to our room and I show you just how much I love you? She suggested, her voice back to its usual sultry, suggestive self.
[Plus it has the bonus of warming her up given the fact she's FREEZING! Insane girl. But I love her anyway.] she thought with a warm smile.
Belle smirked.
"I thought you'd never ask."
Kelly laughed.
Belle smiled up at her mischievously.
"Race ya!" she yelled, taking off for the school.
[Seriously? That's what it took to get her inside? I should have just said that from the start!]
Kelly stared at the space Belle had just vacated before shaking her head and laughing, taking off after the insane brunette with a grin.
