Chapter 5
From the corner of my eye I saw four boys huddle by the entrance of my room, I slowly turned towards them. Their faces were sunken and shocked, they must of heard the argument. They slowly came into the room and wandered straight over to Harry making sure he was okay.
'I wasn't implying it, I was actually implying that you don't trust me.' I said bluntly looking down at my hands.
'You know what Lydia? Your right I don't trust you but, I have a good reason to not trust you!' She said bitterly. 'What hurts, is that you and me both know you were implying that we were all being selfish, I don't see how our hard work of keeping you safe is being selfish!' Her voice was getting louder.
'HEY IT'S NOT MY FAULT I'M IN THIS POSITION IN THE FIRST PLACE! I DIDN'T ASK TO BE PUT HERE!' Harry suddenly shot up from his chair and stormed out the room. 'AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP THROWING ABUSE AT ME THEN YOU MIGHT AS WELL LEAVE BECAUSE I HAVE NO PAICITENCE FOR YOU!' I yelled.
'Fine then have it your way but don't expect me to be here for you anymore Lyds, you're on your own.' She said it calmly but the words pierced into my head, they were the most hurtful words she has ever said to me. She started to sob Louis came over and comforted her, she soon walked out of the room followed by the others. I was on my own.
As soon as they felt a started to cry, I grabbed my teddy of a cute bear which Harry won for me at a fair once and curled up into a ball and sobbed.
Bexy POV
I stormed out of Lydia's room sobbing my eyes out, I went straight into my room and slammed the door shut, I stood there for a while looking at the cream carpet before me, I looked up to the wall in front of me there was loads of pictures of me and Lyds. There were ones of me and her back when we were 4 and we had funky glasses on sitting at a table with icing round our mouths. The memories came flooding back. It was our joint 4th birthday party, our birthdays weren't on the same day but I was two days older. There was another one of when we were 13, we were at the beach and we were jumping off a bench doing high school musical jumps, we were wearing matching bikinis, mine was pink and with tiny dark pink flowers over it and hers was in blue with dark blue flowers. The one that caught my eye was the one of us at age 4, where Lyds had her arms thrown over me hugging me for dear life, we were both tanned and I had a pink cast over my right arm. It was my favourite memory and picture. We went on holiday together with our families to Hawaii just after Lydia's family brought this house before her dad died. They had set-up our own rooms which we could have this one being mine. I slowly turned round looking at all the pictures on the wall and looked back at my favourite one. I stared at it as I remembered what happened that day.
Bexy's Imagination
'Right guys here's the new house, Dan and Claire we'll show you around, Lyds could you show Bexy around to please.' Lydia's mum asked politely.
'Yes mum, can I show her, her room first though, I want to see if she likes it?' Lyds asked eagerly.
'Yes of course you can my angle!' Her dad replied picking her up and chucking her about.
'I'll race you upstairs!' Lyds demanded eagerly.
'Okay! I'm going to win!' I exclaimed as we rushed up the stairs. The stairs were big and opened with a black railing down the side, the steps were white marble and in the middle was a dark red runner down the middle. As we reached to the top the space surrounding us was shaped in a massive square. I looked all around and saw loads of plain white doors surround us. As I looked round I counted 15 doors I wonder which one leads to my room. I walked along the corridor and looked down below the balcony as saw the entrance of the house.
'Why is there no floor in the middle of the corridor?' I asked confused.
'I don't know why but it looks posh doesn't it?' Lyds boasted. I walked all the way round till I came to a door which had something on it. 'Bexy's Room.'
'Wow, is this my room?' I asked astounded running my fingers over the gold embossed writing.
'Open it have a look for yourself!' Lyds said proudly. I put my hand on the crystal door knob and opened the door. Before me was a massive bedroom, it was decorated with white paint and white wallpaper with big pink flowers on it. There was a white dressing table with gold painted decorations, with a big plain mirror, there was a cream double bed with cream bed posts with light pink curtains hanging down.
'Wow just like the princesses have!' I gazed in amazement at the princess bed before me. There were two doors at the foot of my bed which were white with gold decorations on, and a full length mirror which was personalized in gold, 'Bexy'. 'Wow and even my own mirror with my name on it!' There was a white bed side table decorated with gold. On the bed side table there was a picture of me and Lyds at ballet in our pink tutus with pink ballet shoes, our hair was up in a bun and pink ribbon tied round it. There was also a pink unicorn ornament and a white and gold posh telephone. I looked on the windowsill there were many ornaments of fairies and horses and pictures of me and family and other friends. There were big floor length white curtains, along the top and bottom of them there was a row of pink flowers.
'Go look at the wallpaper.' Lydia instructed. I walked quickly over to it. I squinted to my eyes to find out what I was looking for. Suddenly I saw a faint sparkle from one of the flowers, I looked at it closely again and I was right! The flowers did sparkle!
'Wow!' I gasped and I ran my fingers across each petal.
'I know it's so magical! Daddy said that he had to call for fairies to help him with the sparkles.' Lydia informed. 'Now go you have to open the double doors.' I walked over to the big white and gold double doors, like my door to enter the room there was a crystal door knob. I held on to it tightly waiting for the surprise inside. I pulled them towards me revealing a walk in wardrobe. There were rows and rows of clothes neatly placed in a certain order. All different types of shirts, t-shirts, vest tops along the top going all the way round the wardrobe making a u shape, in the middle there were shorts and skirts and at the bottom there were trousers. In the middle of the room there was a big unit. I went straight over to it and noticed there were four drawers. I opened the top drawer and to my excitement there were rows and rows of shoes, I opened more to find the same.
'Do you like it?' Lyds asked. I was speechless I didn't know what to say, I walked round the whole wardrobe.
'I love it!' I whispered.
'Good because there is a very special surprise.' She said as she dragged me over to another door on the left hand side in the wardrobe. It was white and gold again with a crystal door knob at the top in gold writing it said, 'Princess Bexy.' Lydia opened the door to reveal a square room filled with dresses of every colour and every kind. There were three rows of all these dresses all the way round the wardrobe. In the middle there was another white and gold unit with glitter all over it I opened it to reveal more shoes but, these were party shoes to match the dresses. On the wall behind me was full of shelves which was sectioned for each tiara. There was loads of them, all unique in their own way. Next to the shelves on the right hand side was a button shaped in a white crystal heart, I pressed it and the shelves with the tiaras on moved out to show more tiaras behind the first lots. I stood there gazing at this paradise, I walked round stroking the soft satin dresses with my hand.
'This is a special wardrobe only us princesses know about.' Lydia whispered. 'You can't tell anyone about it otherwise the mean red dragon will eat you!' She warned putting her finger to her lip.
'Okay I promise I won't tell no one.' I drew and x on my finger to show I was crossing my heart. 'Thank you so much Lyds, your my best friend forever and ever.'
'And you're my best friend forever, pinky swear?' She asked as she put out her pinky for me to link. I put my pink around hers.
'Pinky swear.'
'Lydia, Bexy, come on inside now for dinner.' My mum called out and she waved for us to come in.
'I don't want to go for tea!' I moaned and I flipped the castle bucket down patting the top. 'I want to finish making our princess castle.' I pulled the bucket up leaving a pile of sand shaped like a castle behind.
'But I'm hungry and you said we could play princess and dungeons after dinner!' Lydia whined pulling me up by the arm. My foot got caught on a tree root and as Lydia pulled me up I fell down on my right arm.
'OW!' I cried as I landed down on it. 'That hurt!' I started to sob as I looked at a lump sticking out of my wrist. I carefully got up automatically cradling my right arm in for protection. Lydia helped me hobble inside the house to show our parents what had happened.
A few minutes later the doctor was called round, he put a pink cast on my arm and said the cast would come off in about six weeks depending on how fast the brake heals.
'I'm so sorry Bexy, can you ever forgive me?' Lydia apologized.
'Of course I can don't be silly it was only an accident anyways, this is my shield to stop the dragon from entering our castle.' I insisted proudly.
'But it needs a special charm on it!' Lydia shouted as she got a pen and scribbled something on it. I looked down at the messy writing and saw, 'Bexy and Lydia best fwends foreva.'
'You spelt friends and forever wrong darling.' Lydia's mum said writing down on a piece of paper how it is actually meant to be spelt.
'She's only four she's not gonna be the best speller now!' Her dad pointed out.
'Bexy and Lydia best fwends foreva.' I read out.
'Pinky promise?' Lydia asked with her pinky out.
'Forever.' I replied linking my pinky with hers. She gave me a hug giggling away. Smile girls my mum said taking a photo of us. Flash
Bexy Reality
Tears streamed down my face. I looked around the room was still how it was when I was 4 except all the ornaments were gone and all the walls were covered in photos as a wallpaper except the wall by my bed with the white and pink wallpaper. I walked over the my bed and fell down. I let out a sigh as I pulled the duvet over my shoulder. There was a knock at my door.
'Who is it?' I asked in between sobs.
'It's me Louis.' It replied. 'Can I come in, I wanna see if you're alright.'
'Come in.' I said bluntly. I didn't want Louis to come in to find me like this but, if I told him to go away he would be even more worried. The door entered and Louis walked quietly in placing a mug on the other bed side table opposite me. He came on my bed and pulled me into his chest. The smell of his aftershave hit me. I took a deep breath it, inhaling as much of the hypnotizing sent as I could. It was my favourite aftershave he has, I was glad he was wearing it. I needed him now. He kissed the top of my head and gave me a squeeze.
'It's going to be okay, you two will be friends soon.' He comforted giving me a kiss on my cheek. I sobbed a bit again my head in his chest. I took my head off and looked at his t-shirt. He was wearing a dark red and white stripy top, with red chinos rolled up and dark red vans.
'I'm sorry I ruined another one of your tops,' I said apologetically referring back to the white and black stripy top I cried all over getting mascara down it, this was when Owen cheated on me.
'It's okay it needed a bit of mascara on it anyways, it was getting too boring.' He joked.
'I can't believe the fight we had.' I spoke. 'We never had a fight like that before and I never have been that horrible or said those horrible words to her in my life.'
'Everyone's a bit stressed out and tired at the moment. We have been stressing over Lydia worrying for her to get better, no one has really eaten apart from Niall and no one has got any proper sleep, so you will say things like that.' Louis reassured rubbing my right arm.
'Yes but I actually mean the words I said. She is on her own I give up on her.' I spat bitterly. Louis bent round and cupped his hands around my face and kissed me. It was passionate. His soft lips brushed deeply across my lips as his tongue entwined with mine.
'Brought you up a hot chocolate,' he said as he got up off the bed and headed towards the door, his voice flowed through my head and echoed all around. The sound of his voice made me feel warm inside.
'Where are you going?' I asked looking at him with panic.
'Downstairs,' he replied calmly. 'You need your sleep.' His voice was sterner at the end; I knew he was being serious. I blew him a kiss and snuggled down into my bed letting my eye lids close shut.
Louis POV
I left Bexy in her room to sleep. She needed it; I was so worried about her. I headed downstairs to find Harry, I looked in the living room with all the others but he wasn't there. I virtually looked everywhere around the house and he was nowhere to be seen.
'Where are you Harry?' I muttered under my breath running from room to room. When I passed a small window upstairs I saw a figure out on the beach. I looked closely, the figure had cream chinos on, a dark blue checkered shirt, white high tops and a mop of curly hair blowing wherever the wind would take it. The figure started to shake its head and their hand flicked back the curls.
'I would recognize that hair flip anywhere!' I ran down the stairs and out onto the back porch down towards the beach. When I got closer to Harry I started to walk slowly down to him. I stood next to him with my hands in my pockets. I looked at him once, he was staring out to the sea, I could tell he had been crying, I too looked out onto the sea. The sky was at sun set and a ray of colours filled the sky. The top of the sky was a light peach colour which then molded into a dark orange colour at the bottom. It's beautiful, I thought, it was so peaceful.
'It's beautiful right?' Harry spoke, he was still staring out to the sky almost like was waiting for something to happen.
'Took the words right out of my mouth.' I said peacefully. Harry sniffed, I brought my right arm around his shoulders and gave him a squeeze. I knew why he was upset but, I was going to make him tell me it would make him feel better as seeming he hasn't been telling anyone why he refused to leave Lydia's side for dinner or why he cried every night at the side of her bed. 'Do you think, that she thinks I did this to her on purpose?' His voice was fragile and weak, he was still staring out to the sky as he spoke.
'No, don't be silly! She knows you didn't mean to!' I reassured him.
'But why did she say that?' He asked confused. The wind came along and shifted his hair over, he flicked his hair back into place and looked back out onto the sky.
'She was having an argument with Bexy, when people have arguments they say things they don't mean, I'm sure she didn't mean any of it.' I explained rubbing his right arm.
'But still why did she say it, I was in the room. It felt like someone had just stabbed me in the stomach.' He replied his voice was nearly breaking.
'She has been through a lot Harry.'
'Yeah well so have we!' He interrupted. 'Like what Bexy said, we have been doing all those things for her, not everything revolves round her you know Louis!' He shocked my arm off of him and quickly walked over to a sand back, he climbed up it and sat down on the edge, he picked up a stone and threw it in the sea. I walked over to him. 'Go away Louis, I want to be alone right now.' He demanded as he picked up another stone and hurled it into the clear waters.
'Dude, calm down everybody needs to calm down. No one has had much sleep so everyone is gonna be cranky. But please don't leave Lydia, she needs you, when everybody left the room and I was left there she was crying, about you and Bexy, she begged me not to let you go, she can't be without you Harry.' I insisted.
'You know what, I'm done, she's on her own I give up!' I bellowed.
'What do you mean you give up!' I yelled, I was getting angry because he wasn't seeing the point, he was being the selfish one now.
'I give up on her, she called us selfish over the amount of hard work we did to keep her safe, so she can be on her own!'I spat.
'Look you can't give up on her! She's not a pet! She is a human being, and she is my sister, pay her respect!' I yelled at him.
'She's not your real sister!' He bellowed again throwing a stone harder in the sea. 'Why should I pay her respect? She treated your girlfriend with loads of respect earlier!' He teased harshly.
'I don't want to have an argument with you mate but, please don't leave her, she does need you she loves you Harry.' I said calmly. I walked up to him and put a note next to him and walked off towards the house.
Harry POV
I saw in the corner of my eye the note, I was so tempted to open it. I looked round to see if anyone was watching me. I recognized the handwriting straight away. On the top of the folded note it said, 'Harry.' I threw the note down. I didn't want to read it. I stared out into the sea and thought about Lydia. How much I did love her and if I lost her I think I would struggle. The wind whipped past making the note fly open onto my lap. I picked it up and read it.
'I'm sorry, for everything, I didn't mean what I said, I was being selfish and insensitive. I wish if I could I would take what I said back because it hurt you as well as Bexy, two important people in my life who I do not want to lose. I would speak to you face to face but I need to tell you all this right now and I know you don't want to see me. Please Harry, can't we forget everything that happened and move on? I love you.
Lydia xx'
Just looking at her handwriting took my breath away. I didn't know what to do. I picked the note up and shoved it in my pocket and walked up to the house.
