Chapter 13 – Vaughn's P.O.V
"Dude, be quiet" Natalie whispered from Julia's room. Suddenly there was a loud thump and a small whimper.
"Guys what the fuck?" Chelsea screeched. I shook my head; there was Chelsea's wake up call. There were a few mutters before Julia's bedroom door flung open. Chelsea stomped into the sitting room and moodily sat on the sofa. I tipped my hat down and continued to eat my porridge.
"Aww common Chels we left you for an hour" Julia giggled sitting down next to an unamused Chelsea. She glared at her.
"You didn't have to jump on me" She said flicking her hair over her shoulder, Lanna laughed hysterically. Her voice was like a fucking cat being strangled, god knows how she was a singer. I rolled my eyes before getting up. Sabrina's eyes flicked towards me and I could feel her gaze follow me into the kitchen. Fucking weirdo. I placed my bowl into the sink and lent back onto the counter whilst watching Chelsea from under my hat. She sat crossed legged on the sofa half asleep staring dopily at Natalie who was chattering away about something no one actually gave one fuck about. Chelsea yawned and stretched before resting her head on Julia's shoulder. Why did she have to be so fucking cute? Vaughn you look like a fucking stalker. Move, do something, wash the dishes, pretend to eat a frickin banana, something to stop you looking like some form of strange predator lurking in a bush. She turned to face me and her blue eyes connected with mine, I chocked slightly and turned around. Damn. I opened the cupboard and took an interest in the design of the plates.
"Morning cowboy" A warm voice smiled. I continued to study the plates. "Looking for something?" She asked curiously. I grumbled before taking my head out and looking down at the little blue-eyed girl looking up at me.
"No" I said pulling down my hat to cover my face. Her hand brushed past mine as she grabbed the rim of my hat and pulled it back up. I looked down at her confused. Her eyes glistened in the light as they searched my face.
"Why do you pull your hat down when you smile?" She asked innocently. I placed my hand over hers and pulled it down so her hand was in mine. She looked down and acted as if she had a mini heart attack. I looked at her curiously before removing my hand and coughing awkwardly. Way to fuck it up Vaughn.
"I guess I don't think people would really care" I replied. Her eyes found mine again and were filled with some foreign emotion that neither of us quite understood.
"Well you shouldn't. I like your smile" She smiled up to me. My heart suddenly raced and I blushed. She giggled and walked off back to the sitting room. What the frickin hell was that? What the actual frickin hell Vaughn? I watched her sit back down as I continued blushing. Sabrina quickly walked over to Chelsea and started talking frantically to her as she looked over her shoulder and smiled at me. A strange eruption of beats gathered in my chest, I quickly headed to my room to stop myself from throwing up.
Chelsea's P.O.V –
Sabrina chattered on asking a million and one questions about Vaughn and how close our relationship was as well as how I got him to talk to me as all I could think about was the warmth from his hand. They were soft yet hard-working and radiated the nice, kind warmness which was hidden deep inside of him. I smiled to myself.
"So what do you think?" Sabrina asked looking intently into my eyes. It threw me off my train of thought as she smiled at me sweetly.
"Err what?" I asked running my hand nervously through my tangled up hair. She smiled at me again and giggled slightly.
"I said do you think that Vaughn could like me?" She asked. I stared at her without moving. Something inside of me froze and refused to let me answer. She waved her hands in front of me before slouching down into a more relaxed position. I forced myself to nod which brought her straight out of her little slump.
"Really?" She asked looking hopeful. I swallowed the lump in my throat before answering.
"Yeah. You're sweet, clever, really pretty but don't you think Mark is cute too?" I asked forcing the best ever fake smile onto my face. She looked at me puzzled.
"Mark?" She asked cocking her head to the side. I nodded still holding the 'smile'. She shrugged.
"He's alright I guess. I've not really spoken to him all that much" She smiled nervously at me. I smiled back at her before Julia got up off the other sofa and stood on the table in the centre of the room.
"Guys. I have called you all here to give some really good news" She announced with the widest smile spread across her face anyone could see. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms smirking. Lanna sat up straight in anticipation.
"Elliot asked me to the Sprout Island Dance" She squealed. Lanna joined in with the squealing and smiled widely. I looked at Natalie who gave me a 'what's-the-big-deal' kind of look. I slid my finger across my throat to say that if she continues Julia would skin her and use her skin as a duvet. She laughed and nodded in agreement. We all gathered into a tight circle again in the middle of the floor.
"So we obviously all need dates so who is everyone going with?" Julia asked before her gaze stopped on Natalie. She blushed a deep shade of beetroot red. Julia raised an eyebrow and elbowed her.
"Well I thought that maybe Pierre would ask me" She finally admitted. We all gasped and then giggled. She looked up blushing and then gave everyone a dirty look.
"Dude I didn't know you liked Pierre" I smiled jokingly at her. She shot me a glare which I ignored. She nodded slowly before burying her face into a pillow. Julia then turned to Sabrina.
"Who are you planning on going with?" She asked. Sabrina blushed and shook her head.
"Nobody" She replied quietly. I rolled my eyes before nudging her slightly. She turned to me and blushed as I winked at her. Julia's gaze then moved to me and I cringed.
"Chels …" She giggled. I rolled my eyes.
"Guys Denny asked me last night so there is no need to dig for any info" I laughed. Suddenly there was a sound of glass breaking and we all turned around to see Vaughn holding a half broken glass and a bloody hand.
"Dude!" Julia exclaimed glaring at him for answers. He had obviously held the glass to tight to make it break. He just grunted before stomping back off into his room. Sabrina glanced at me sideways as I gave her a shrug.
"What the fuck" Julia muttered as she turned back to me and Natalie pulling a strange face. Natalie snorted then looked at me.
"What's wrong with your cuz Julia?" Lanna asked looking at the mess on the floor. I stared at her. There's nothing wrong with him. He's the frickin most normal out of the lot of you. Julia shook her head and shrugged.
"I actually have no idea" She replied giggling. I rolled my eyes and turned towards Sabrina. She was looking over at Vaughn's door, I sighed.
"Sabs?" I asked. Her eyes focused and turned to look at me. I smiled nervously at her as she nodded. "Go after him" I said whilst holding back a vile repulsion to throw up. Her eyes widened.
"Should I?" She asked nervously. I paused for a second before nodding slowly and wincing slightly. She giggled before hugging me and quietly going down the corridor to Vaughn's room. No one noticed her slip away. I let go of my lip that I was biting down on and coughed. Blood splattered on my hand as I looked up at Julia. Her eyes widened as she raced up and practically sat on my lap.
"What did ya do?" She asked quickly glancing at my lip, then to my hand then at Natalie.
"I bit my lip" I muffled as my mouth began to fill up with blood. She took my hand and took me into the kitchen to sort my lip out. Vaughn better be bloody happy.
Vaughn's P.O.V –
Prick, prick, prick, prick, prick. I punched my pillow before collapsing onto the bed. I threw my hat to the ground and shoved my face into the pillow I'd just abused. There was a soft knock at the door. Chelsea?
"Come in" I mumbled from my pillow as the door creaked open. I rolled onto my side and saw Sabrina stood at the door nervously. I got up from the bed and carefully placed my hat back onto my head before grunting and sitting on the chair where Chelsea had performed her little 'dance'.
"A…are you okay?" She whispered as she blinked a hundred times in the space of ten seconds. I turned to look at her before muttering the word 'yeah'. She pushed her glasses up onto her face using her for finger.
"Oh g…good. I mean before you seemed k…kinda annoyed" She stuttered. I stared at her blankly, not really giving a shit about what she said or thought. I shrugged and closed my eyes before turning around in my chair and faced my desk. She slowly walked up next to me and placed her fragile hand over my hand. My head snapped up and I whipped my hand from under her pale one. What the actual fuck?
"I'm s…sorry" She stuttered as a tear slid down her face. Oh crap I made her cry. Fucking hell Vaughn you prick, why do you upset everything you come in contact with? I stood up and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry" I said clearly, no emotion really in my voice. The sooner she was out of my room the better. She looked up at me and our eyes met. Fuck she had purple eyes like me; except hers suited her while mine made me look like a fucking puffter. I took my hand off her shoulder and her face fell slightly. I returned to my bed and sat on the edge still looking at the strange girl in my room.
Chelsea's P.O.V –
"Julia owww stop it" I yelled as she dabbed some kitchen roll onto my lip. She went pale and took a few steps back. I saw Natalie roll up her sleeves and take the tissue from Julia before approaching me with an evil glint in her eyes.
"This won't hurt Chels, just got to stem the bleeding" She mocked an evil laugh as she scrubbed my bleeding lip. The pain wasn't actually that bad, not compared to the curiosity that ate away at me at the thought of Sabrina in Vaughn's room. Why did I even care anyway? Natalie pulled the tissue out of my mouth and placed it into the bin before handing me a glass of water.
"Swirl" She ordered. I stuck my bottom lip out as I swirled the rest of the blood around my mouth and spat it into the sink. Natalie looked at me smiling as I rinsed my mouth out again.
"Better?" She asked. I nodded slowly and showed her my lip which now had a large gap in it. She laughed and pulled me back onto the sofa. I rolled my eyes as Julia carefully placed herself next to me looking extremely pale.
Vaughn's P.O.V –
She stood there fidgeting with the end of their dress as I studied her closely. Her jet black hair was tied together at the top with a bow and she wore a baby pink cardigan over her purple dress. I'd seen her a few times on the beach when my ferry arrived but never spoken to her. Our eyes connected and I read her like a book. She was timid because her father had a controlling hand over everything she did and he would protect her till the very end. She felt claustrophobic and didn't want to bond with people as she knew her father would disapprove. She had a creative flare and had a caring heart although there was a slight dark side to her. Not all that interesting really. I broke the eye contact and moved my gaze to the little chest on my cabinet. It was a little dark brown box with a little ship pattern around the outside. My mum had left it for me before she died. It held one of the most important things in my life in that little box, yet all it did was collect dust. I moved my gaze back over to Sabrina who had stepped a foot closer hoping I hadn't noticed. Suddenly there was a knock on my door before a little chestnut haired girl walked in wearing her little yellow jacket and jean shorts. I got up off the edge of the bed quickly and adjusted my hat so I could see her. She gave a little knowing nod at Sabrina who shuffled back a couple of steps before Chelsea came up to me and smiled.
"Hello Cowboy" She smirked searching my eyes for some kind of answers. I rolled my eyes and patted the top of her head.
"Hi Chelsea" I replied smiling slightly. She laughed at my attempt before rolling her deep blue eyes. Unlike everyone else I couldn't read Chelsea. She held up a wall that was impossible to see past. I guess that's what made her Chelsea.
"Just coming to say goodbye" She smiled up into my eyes. My chest did some gay little movement that was way too fast to be my heart. I looked down at her and nodded.
"You going home?" I asked. She giggled and rolled her eyes again.
"No I'm going to look for the wizard down that yellow brick road" She replied sarcastically while attempting to punch my arm playfully. I stepped back and chuckled as her little fist missed my arm and she loss balance. I caught her before she fell and pushed her back onto her feet. Damn this girl was cute.
Chelsea's P.O.V –
He caught my arm and pushed me back up. I looked into his amethyst eyes and giggled.
"See ya later cowboy" I laughed in my best Texan accent. He rolled his eyes before nodding. I walked out of the room and gave Sabrina a little wink so that she followed me out of the room. I felt kind of guilty that I'd interrupted them but it was either that or I'd end up eating my whole lip. I walked into the sitting room with Sabrina following behind. I turned to Julia who was sat on the kitchen counter.
"Gonna go and check on Bells" I smiled giving her a hug. She laughed while returning it.
"Next week. Me. You. Make up. Dress" She grinned motioning how she was going to torture me once again for this stupid Sprout Island Dance. I rolled my eyes and agreed before heading over to my farm.
