Final chapter is up, I don't know whether to do a sequel or not if you think I should send me a few ideas and a story may spring to mind. Hope you enjoy the chapter.
I do not own any of the Winx
They all looked at Flora sadness in their eyes, "I'm so sorry Flora I didn't know." The specialist tried to make a mends. "No-one knew Riven, because I didn't tell. Now you understand you are not the only one with family issues, at least your mother is still alive. I only see my family when I visit the churchyard." Tears were flowing down Floras face.
"Flora why not? You know we would have been there for you. We are friends, best friends and nothing will ever change that." Musa spoke softly watching Helia comfort Flora in his broad arms. "because I didn't want everyone to be sorry for me, my entire life on Linphea as the poor orphan girl who has nothing in her past and nothing in her future. I just did not want that here and they only way I could be sure of it is not to let anyone know, not even Ms Faragonda." The tears flowed heavier down her face.
Layla walked over to her friend; though she had been at Alfea for a while and made friends with the girls, she only truly trusted a few. Bloom and Stella was great for a laugh and to hang out with. Tecna was brilliant for any discussion but she held no close relationship with them, as they had nothing in common.
Layla had grow closer to Musa and Flora being able to share her secrets and feelings, being able to trust them with her thoughts, and that was something she was grateful for. Musa shared more traits with her musical friend but could only share her deepest thoughts and feelings with Flora. Only Flora wouldn't judge her or put her down with her words.
"Flora you have helped me so much, over everything. The issue with my parents right up to losing Nabu, while everyone was scared to even talk to me you marched right up and not only spoke but spoke about him to my face, and for that I thanks you because it made me strong. Well stronger." Flora understood that Layla was referring to the prom in her speech.
Flora dried her eyes and looked her friend in the eye, "we have all lost people and we can tell you Layla it does get better. You never forget them but over time, it does get better. Even though I don't actually know my parents or have any memories of hem I have a few pictures, pictures of which I honour and would guard with my life." It was silent for a few seconds before Flora spoke up again. "Come on Layla lets go back to Alfea, all together for this night. You can see my parents!" a warm smile grew on her face.
"Yer lets go back all of us, I would love to see your parents Flora. If we stick up for each other we can get through anything." Layla responded, everyone headed back to Alfea in a comfortable silence. As they walked on to grounds, they could still hear the music from the prom and the loud shouts of enjoyment from those attending.
Helia opened the door to the dorm and allowed the girls to enter first as he bowed slightly, Flora, Layla and Musa entered to see the rest of the girls and their boyfriends sat in the living room. Bloom noticed them first, "where have you been?" it was then she noticed that they was no longer in their prom dresses but in everyday clothes. "What's the matter? Have you been crying?" Layla and Musa remained silent as they walked to the sofa and Flora walked into her room.
The girls remembered about Nabu and all began fussing over Layla, just then Flora emerged from the room with a picture frame, silently she handed it over to Layla before muttering softly as she sat next to her, "it's the only thing I have got of them."
Layla looked down at the photo frame in her hands and saw a man and women hugging each other laughing, both of their clothes was tattered showing that they did live on the streets. Looking at the women, she could see the many resemblances between her and Flora. The nature fairy noticed this "I think I get all my looks from my mother, the eyes and my hair. My dad, well that leaves only my personality and nature. I think each night about how my life would be if they were still here now."
Flora then noticed everyone looking at her and the confusion on their faces, Flora then told the painful story of her parents and her life up to know; by the time she had finished not a single person had dry eyes in the room. "Flora why didn't you tell us?" Stella asks, "What does it matter, it's in the past anyway what are you doing back from the prom so early?"
Brandon stepped forward and placed a hand on Stella's shoulders, "we regrouped and found you guys was missing we only just came back up here to try and find you when you walked in." Tecna continued "we are so sorry we ignored you Layla we just I know it's bad to say it but we kind of forget you would be alone. We are so used to having Nabu around we somewhat just thought he was. Sorry"
Layla wiped a tear away from her cheek at the thought of Nabu, "its okay guys I know what you mean. I just couldn't take it but I know it will get better, anyway I'm going off to bed." The girls watched as Layla walked into her room, but each of them knowing that Layla will truly be okay.
Layla led in her bed staring out into the night sky, a smile upon her face as she thought of Nabu. Losing him hurt but she knew she can and will get through it with her friends backing her up, it's like the earth fairy's said they will look after him.
