Bella p.o.v
"I … um" I sit there with my mouth agape trying to think of some excuse but nothing comes out … so I sit there helplessly praying they didn't hear.
"Don't tell me what we heard was true" Rachel asked incredulously shifting her eyes between me and Lucy as I shuffle further into her.
"It's okay baby; they can help" Lucy sighs kissing me on the temple as she strokes my back soothingly.
"They can't" I say my eyes falling downcast
"Sweetheart is this true about your dad hitting you" Quinn asks sitting next to me.
"So what if it is; it's not like my Mami's any better" I scoff
"San wouldn't beat you" Quinn states turning her head away.
"Not physically, but mentally she's just as bad as my dad if not worse" I close my eyes taking a deep breath as Lucy kisses behind my ear nuzzling her nose into me.
"I think you should stay here again tonight" Rachel states firmly passing me a glass of water with a sincere look in her eyes.
"No" I say getting up "I should go home; the longer I stay here the worse it's gonna be so I should just go home."
"Well I'm coming with you then" Lucy says taking my hand and rubbing her thumb over my palm.
"Baby I don't think that's a good idea-" I start cautiously
"no I'm coming and that's final!" she breaks in authoritatively.
"Okay" I finally give in as we walk out the door. "Thank you… for everything" I say to Rachel and Quinn before exiting the house hand in hand with my girl.
My thoughts are in overdrive as we walk towards my house … deep breaths I tell myself it will be okay.
I enter to what seems to be an empty house until we enter the kitchen.
"You're home" Brittany states softly as she puts the rest of the washing away "and good to see you Lucy".
"Good to see you too" offering a polite smile Lucy replies as I grab her some coffee.
"So … where is everyone" I ask nervously mostly meaning mami,
"You're mami has taken Lara and Leo out for coffee" I try to hold back tears remembering that was always our thing. "I'd uh stay away from her she's not happy with you hun … where were you the other day?" she adds.
"I uh – I stayed at Lucy's" I add nervously "she's my girlfriend" I blurt out mistakenly regretting it straight away because she'll tell mami and well that's just another thing for them to take from me.
"Oh … well I'm happy for you; you could do with some happiness" Brittany smiles giving me a hug … Whoa hold up; she's never hugged me before and I … I love it.
"So how come you didn't go for the coffee?" Lucy asks offering a small smile.
"Oh its San's bonding time I don't wanna interrupt" Britt offers a small chuckle giving a wink Lucy's way. "Maybe we should go out eh Bella I feel like we don't do anything together"
"I um … yeah totally" I reply totally surprised by her actions it makes me feel warm inside.
"San's home … if I were you id both go upstairs and ill tell her you're asleep I got your back" Brittany ushers us upstairs as we quickly close the door behind us.
"Whoa" I say sitting on my bed with a huge smile "did you see that Luce she … she wants to spend time with me."
"I know baby"; then she looks at me with the most … most loving expression I've ever witnessed as a lone tear comes down my face she brushes it away kissing me softly. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing… I … it's just no one has ever looked at me like that before." I say kissing her passionately pulling her down on the bed next to me as I brush my nose against hers.
Before I can say anything she pulls me back up off the bed into her arms.
"um what are you doing?" I ask confused as she starts moving around.
"Dancing silly" She replies like it's the most obvious thing in the world laughing slightly pulling me into her before twisting me out and back in.
"There's no music" I state … how can you dance with no music?
"We don't need music" she places my hand on her heart … oh my god I can feel it hammering against her chest "when our hearts beat like this why would we need music" … and at this moment I realise just how fast I'm falling.
"We can have a bit of music can't we?" I ask with a smile kissing her softly.
"Well where are we gonna play the music?" she asks confused as I have no stereo in my room.
"Who says were playing music?" I add a small grin as I notice her look at me quizzically.
I start to softly sing into her ear … I need her to know how I feel about her right now.
You only stay with me in the morning
You only hold me when I sleep
I was meant to tread the water
But now I've gotten in too deep
For every piece of me that wants you
Another piece backs away
You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
Because someday I might know my heart
You only waited up for hours
Just to spend a little time alone with me
And I can say I've never bought you flowers
I can't work out what they mean
I never thought that I'd love someone
That was someone else's dream
You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
Because someday I might call you from my heart
But it might be a second too late
And the words that I could never say
Are gonna come out anyway
You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
Because someday I might know my heart
Know my heart, know my heart, know my heart
I see the tears fall from her eyes "is that really how you feel baby?" She asks holding me tightly
"Yeah … yeah I'm falling so fast; and I'm afraid but I don't want to stop … I'm not really good with words so I sing I hope you don't mind" I say shifting my feet nervously.
"Do I mind? Baby that was the most romantic beautiful thing anyone's ever done for me; I know how hard it is for you which makes it mean all the more to me. Your voice is also beautiful just like you , beautiful; sexy and all mine" She states winking at me.
"All yours eh?" I question smirking.
"Mhmm forever and I plan on letting everyone know it."
"Forever?" I ask.
"I don't think I could let you go even if I tried baby"
