Well I really hope you're enjoying, and still reading by this stage! Please review so I keep going with the story? Yeah that's all I got... for now.
BELLE POV :)
I woke up many hours later, feeling a little bit better. I rubbed my closed eyes and stretched out in my small bed. I had slept in a very uncomfortable position according to the way my back muscles were screaming protests at even the slightest of movements. As I went to stand up, I fell straight back down onto my small bed. "Ouch" I winced and lay back down and Kelly rushed forwards, seemingly out of nowhere. It seems that she had been sitting on the bed next to me waiting for me to wake up.
"Kel, how long you been here for?"
"Oh, not too long, Belle. I came to get you for dinner but didn't want to wake you, so I waited." Kelly smiled that dazzling smile, the colours in her dark eyes swirling and unreadable.
I wasn't too sure what this meant, so I smiled back, and Kelly helped me to stand up slowly without hurting myself any more. I stretched once more, and my back was alright, so I walked unaided down the stairs with Kelly towards the hall where all the students eat their meals at St Trinians. Most people had finished dinner by the time we got there, so the room was relatively empty, Kelly lead me towards a quiet table in the far corner.
"Belle, I want to talk to you, and I want you to be honest with me. Please." Kelly's eyes bore into mine, begging me to tell her what is going on in my life that caused my breakdown earlier that day.
"Please tell me what's going on, Belle. I'm really worried about you. I want to help you, but I can't help you if you won't tell me what the problem is?" I could see the worry dancing in her normally guarded eyes. It was very rare for Kel to let any emotion show on her face, so I knew she must be really worried.
"Kelly, please believe me, I felt terrible for making you sleep on the roof, and my head was spinning from that party. What was the party even for?" I set my gaze on Kelly's, looking into her eyes trying to convince her to believe what I was saying.
KELLY POV :)
Trying to get Belle to admit what was going on was one of the hardest things I'd ever done. She didn't WANT to let me in, didn't WANT to let me help her. It was breaking my heart to see the harsh look in her eyes, I could tell that Belle wasn't being entirely truthful, though I did believe that she was telling me half of the truth.
"You know I'm only asking because I care, don't you Belle?" I asked the beautiful younger girl, trying to let my feelings seep out a little bit in that simple sentence, while trying not to anger her. Belle can have quite the temper if she hears something she doesn't like.
"Just drop it, Kel." The younger girl ordered, temper rising, and she got up and walked away.
I didn't know what to do; I sat there staring after her, but Andrea and Taylor walked into the hall bickering loudly about something. I looked up from my trance immediately, and so they didn't notice that anything was wrong, and pulled my annoying smirk back onto my face before addressing them.
"Oi, shut up girls. You fight over everything and I'm bloody sick of it, yeah? Everyone isn't out to get you! No one has stolen anything from you, so shut up! If you've got nothing nice to say to each other, don't talk to each other!" I glared at them until they backed down, and hurried out of the room muttering apologies over their shoulders.
I sat in the hall in silence for a little while longer, just thinking, before heading to my scarcely decorated room to listen to my iPod loudly and get my anger under control before finding Belle. I need to find Belle. To make sure she isn't angry with me. I don't want to let this silly little argument get between us. I will drop it and let her come to me to talk. Yeah, that's what I will do!
Usually, I would get Taylor and Chelsea onto planning a party to cheer up another St Trinian, but in this case, I think a party is possibly the cause of the problem, or at least part of it anyway.
I was sitting there on my bed, iPod up as loud as I could possibly have it without being completely unaware of what was happening around me, and this song came on.
"Feels like the walls are closing in
Once again
It's time to face it and be strong
I wanna do the right thing now
I know it's up to me somehow"
Yes. This song was singing back into my ears the thoughts going through my head, the feelings in my heart.
"And now I've got to try
To turn it all around
And figure out how to fix this
I know there's a way, so I promise
I'm gonna clean up the mess I made"
I HAVE to go and find Belle. I have a feeling she will have gone back to the roof. I have to find her and make this right, all it took for me to realise this was Demi Lovato singing it to me.
BELLE POV :)
"You know I'm only asking because I care, don't you Belle?" Kelly seemed to be trying to get some message through to me, without words, but I can't read her THAT good, she needs to tell me whatever it is she wants me to know!
"Just drop it, Kel." I didn't know what to say, so I headed for the roof. I couldn't take the unsure feelings any more. I'd had enough of this! I needed air, but more importantly, I needed to know how Kelly Jones really feels?
I stood on the roof for what felt like hours, going from leaning against the rail looking back towards the door, to leaning on the wall, to watching over the grounds from my vantage point at the rails. It was here that Kelly walked out to find me. I could see the panicked look on her face as I turned around very suddenly, surprised and angry that anyone would interrupt my thoughts. When I saw who it was standing in the doorway, my anger subsided.
"Belle! Are you sure that's the best place to stand?" Kel looked so worried as she said this that I could only laugh, and unsuccessfully try to hide the near-empty vodka bottle in my right hand. Kelly blushed a bit, and coughed trying to cover up her reaction.
"Anyway, I came to find you. I'm sorry for trying to push you into talking to me before. I don't want us to fight, Belle. You really do mean too much to me. I don't know what I'd do if you were mad at me. I can't fight with you Belle." As Kelly spoke, she walked closer to me. Each step slow and steady. I just stared at her, wondering if she maybe, possibly, felt the same as me? I was trapped in the corner against the wall, nowhere to move as Kelly Jones walked towards me.
"Kel, I think I have something I need to tell you?" I held my breath as she got close, and just smiled softly as the beautiful girl stopped walking, standing so close to me, and took the bottle from my hands and threw it away. I have to tell her. I have to explain my thoughts, my outburst on the roof last night. Only last night? It feels like weeks ago already!
KELLY POV :)
I couldn't believe it. I came to find Belle, and it was just so easy to make everything okay with her. When I first came out onto the roof, Belle was standing right at the edge, leaning on the railings, deep in thought and drinking vodka. I didn't want to say anything, announce myself at all in case I shocked her. Belle must have been more aware of her surroundings than I thought though.
"Belle! Are you sure that's the best place to stand?" I asked, worried about what she was thinking standing so close to the edge of the roof while drinking by herself in the dark. Belle just laughed at me though, and flicked the switch to turn the light on. "Anyway, I came to find you. I'm sorry for trying to push you into talking to me before. I don't want us to fight, Belle. You really do mean too much to me. I don't know what I'd do if you were mad at me. I can't fight with you Belle." I confessed to the younger girl standing in front of me. By the time I'd finished my speech, I was standing just inches from her.
"Kel, I think I have something I need to tell you?" I smiled slightly at the way Belle's statement came out as a question. Now it was her turn to look nervous.
I sat down on the roof, and patted the spot next to me, implying for Belle to sit with me and talk to me. "Speak away, Belles." I said, pulling my smirk back onto to my face. I'd lost it somewhere around the time I realised how close I was standing.
"Well. Kel, you are probably never going to want to speak to me again after this," Belle started, and a tear ran down her cheek. I hugged her and waited for her to keep talking. She sat up and pulled away from my embrace before she kept going.
"Well, you see, Kel. Umm... I don't really know how to say this. But, umm, well I guess I will just come out with it now." I could see the internal war raging behind her eyes as she spoke. The truth right there, about to come spilling out. I giggled a tiny bit at this.
"Kel. I've never had to do this before, so don't you dare laugh at me! I really, really like you, Kel. There you go, I said it." Her eyes shone with tears that burst out and made trails down her beautifully made up face. I leaned over and wiped away the tears, why is she crying?
"Belle? Why are you crying?" I was so confused. She had just said possibly the best thing I had heard all day. Hell, it was the best thing I'd heard all year. I leaned over and kissed my best friend softly, trying to get rid of the pain that was etched all over her face.
"Well, I wasn't expecting you to react like that, Kel. I thought you would never want to see me again!" Belle smiled as she said this though, realising that she had been way off the truth. I moved in to sit closer to her, and put my arms around the girl. I could feel the sad tears leaving Belle, only to be replaced by happy tears. I could tell this because she was smiling and laughing, cuddling into me. It felt right.
We could have sat like that for 5 minutes, or it could have been 5 hours. Time was simply irrelevant because I was finally with Belle.
Haha well I guess I will leave chapter 3 there. Not sure if it will keep going or not, it all depends on what you people reading this say in the lovely reviews that you are going to leave me please? Would really make my day, and help me decide where I'm actually going with this!
