Chapter 28
The next day the girls had school. April wasn't going to go, she was going to make up and excuse, but she decided that she needed to face the world sooner or later and today was the day. April decided to act like nothing happened because she thought that way the hurt wouldn't show and she could ignore it. Since yesterday when April got home she didn't say a word as usual. She ran to her room and cried. Reece had tried calling her 10 times every 10 minutes and Sabrina had texted her a couple of times, but she ignored them both and that is what she planned to do from now on. Reece is nothing to April and she was going to show the world she can move on.
April was the first dressed and the first one to eat. She hadn't eaten properly for days. Her parents, sister and Lilly her auntie where surprised to see her down stairs. April smiled at them like nothing has happened over the past few weeks. April was hurting and she knew that it wouldn't just go away, but she needed to be strong again. She loves Reece more than anything, but he dumped her for apparently changing and if it's change he dumped her for then it's change his gonna get.
"Morning princess "Lucas sounded happy that morning
"Morning dad, mom, October and Lilly" April drunk the last of her milk and picked up her bag "I'm off to school. Catch you guys later" April walked to the door
"If you wait A, dad will give us a lift" October told April and she stopped
"Yeah okay. I'll wait" April nodded smiling "Hey mom, I'm sorry about before. How are the boys and you doing?"
"It's okay baby girl. Yeah where all good thanks. Good to be home that's all" Brooke answered
"Good good. Glad you guys are home too" April walked over to her mom and gave her a little kiss on the cheek
"Okay guys come on, we better be off before where late" Lucas told the girls
"Okay bro where coming" Lilly laughed "Keep your knickers on"
The others laughed "See you later mom" April literally skipped out the house and to the car
"Wow she's changed" Lucas shrugged "At least she's happy again"
"Yeah" Brooke sounded not convinced
"Bye mom" October smiled giving Brooke a peck on the lips
"Bye Brooke" Lilly skipped after October
"So pretty girl. I'll be home late today, the girls will walk home and Lilly will probs stay again if that's okay and I'll bring dinner home so you don't have to cook" Lucas kissed Brooke lightly on the lips
"Yeah that's fine and okay baby. The boys are good so I'll be okay thanks for asking" Brooke said sarcastically
"Oh sorry Brooke. Will you be okay with the boys?" Lucas asked now feeling really guilty
"Yeah I'll be fine Luke. I'll see you guys later. Love you" Brooke nodded smiling
"Love you too. Bye" Lucas headed for the door "Kiss the boys again for me please"
"Will do" Brooke replied
Lucas turned back to Brooke and blew her a kiss she caught in her hands "Bye" and then he left for the school.
...
The school day started 3 hours ago. April has been avoiding Reece and Sabrina ever since she saw them talking again on the bleachers in the quad. April decided that her and October needed to get cheer practice back in order because the basketball season was going to start soon and the boys were already back at practice. it was lunch time, April saw October at her locker and walked up to her.
"October we need to get practice back up and running like after school today" April stopped and put her hands o her hips
"Erm... okay we'll have to tell dad before the end of the day A" October nodded shutting her locker
"Well I'll catch you later sis. I'm gonna go gym" April circled her sister and headed for the gym.
...
April didn't know why she always came to the gym when she was upset or needed to think, but she did. Today she went there because she was still upset and she was avoiding the two people who she didn't want to bump into. She had a free period and no one was going to be using the gym until after school, so se had all the time in the world. Well that's what she thought until she heard the gym door open and then shut again. She shot her head up and sighed when she saw him, the guy she loves. Her ex boyfriend Reece. He stopped when he saw her and then carried on walking towards her.
April got up and looked at Reece. He then stopped again and she could see the want and lust in his eyes, but she was mad at him for saying she changed and for dumping her and then spending a lot of time with that back stabbing, lying whore Sabrina. Reece wanted to run over to April and take her in his arms and kiss her, but he knew he couldn't. He was afraid that she would turn him down and say she was over him, so he just stood there looking at her. April had no expression on her face so Reece couldn't even read her face which was good because then he would find out what April really wanted and that is too kiss him deeply. April then broke eye contact with him and walked over to pick up the basketball. She threw it and it went straight in the net.
"Nice shot" Reece finally spoke. April turned to him and then took another shot.
"Thanks"
"Anytime" Reece replied
Then there was silence again. It broke April's heart that Reece couldn't even go other to him and hug him or kiss him or have him to tell her that he still loves her, because she would kill for any of them to happen. Then April spoke not looking at him.
"What you doing here Reece?"
"I overheard you telling October you were coming here and I couldn't help myself, so I came after you because I... Erm..." Reece stopped and wiped his sweaty hands on his jeans.
"You what Reece?" April asked turning to finally face him "Because you what?"
"Because I wanted to explain about yesterday" Reece admitted "About the whole Sabrina and me talking in the park. I know what it must have looked like, but trust me it wasn't anything"
"Trust you. Seriously Reece. Your asking me to trust you even though you promised me that you would never break my heart or leave me and you done both by siding with Sabrina. So by asking me to trust you is an understatement" April laughed sarcastically "You broke us Reece"
"April Sabrina has been going through a hard time and you're treating her like shit. She misses you girls and she's lost Jamie. What you did was wrong, you're not the girl I thought you was and you should say sorry" Reece was actually being serious.
"You're not being serious?" April shook her head and tears where again forming in her eyes "OMG you are being serious"
"April" Reece begged
"NO you don't get Reece. For one she is not innocent in all this, two it is her fault she lost Jamie and us girls, third I will not say sorry Reece and lastly I was not out of order and if you went and asked Jamie why this all happened you will look like an ass and come apologising to me and right now I don't know if I would forgive you" April explained walking towards Reece and stopping right in front of him "Oh and as for the changing part you haven't seen anything yet. If you think I've changed then I will give you a change and you're not going to like it" April then walked around Reece and out the gym.
...
October was sitting on the bench in the quad talking to Lilly when Liam and Kieran walked up in front of them. They girls felt the guy's presence, but decided not to look up at them. Then October heard April and Reece. Reece had chased after his former girlfriend into the quad. October and Lilly stood up and looked at Reece and April arguing.
"Leave me alone Reece" April didn't wanna be loud. She didn't want to draw attention to them "You shouldn't have chased after me"
"What did you mean?" Reece asked "In the gym I mean"
April stopped and turned around. She faces Reece "You said I changed Reece and that you can't be with me because of that and that hurt me more than ever. I crumbled Reece. You wouldn't believe what you done to me. So I meant that I will show you what change is if that's what you bloody well want"
"I don't want you to change April and I'm sorry that I hurt you and I do understand. Even though I've been out and about, but I have been hurting more then you could ever know" Reece confessed "I love you baby and I want you back. I need you, I want you and I cannot live without you"
"I'm sorry Reece, but I can't" April turned around and ran to her sister and cried in her arms. While Reece just looked on.
"It will be okay A" October rubbed her sisters back gently
...
The day had gone well fast. It was the end of the day and April and October told the girls that they have cheer practice. Lucas was warming the guys up when April walked in and waved at Lucas. Then she saw Reece and she stopped and he smiled at her and she looked away. Then Reece done the one thing that April thought he wouldn't do. He ran up to her, turned her around and kissed her in front of everybody. April was stunned and didn't know what to do, so she opened up her eyes and said nothing.
"Sorry, but I had to kiss you even if it was for the last time" Reece let go of April and waited for her reply
"Hmmm your lips taste the same as always" was all April said
"I'm sorry and I hate that I broke up with you A. I want you back" Reece said again
Then before April could respond Jamie came up behind them "Wait you guys broke up? When did this happen?"
"A few weeks ago" April replied looking at Jamie
"What why?" Jamie looked confused
"Because of Sabrina" April answered
"Why because of her? What did she do?" Jamie huffed annoyed that his ex girlfriend broke Reece and April up.
"Reece said I changed because of the way I have been behaving towards Sabrina and I couldn't tell him why because I didn't know if you wanted him to know or not. So he dumped me" April explained
"So this has been my fault as well. I'm so sorry A" Jamie pulled April into a hug
"Wait what is going on here?" Reece asked confused
The Sabrina walked over and stopped on the other side of Reece and April. April turned from Jamie and looked at the backstabbing bitch she now hated for what she did her cousin "Reece it was my fault okay. I lied. April, October and Lilly did nothing wrong. April hasn't changed, she is the same girl you fell in love with. I was the one that changed. Te girls have the right to be angry with me because of what I did. I didn't tell you because you, Kieran and Liam where the only ones that were being nice to me along with Lois. I lost my bestfriends April and October for what I did and then I ruined your relationships well and I'm so very sorry for that" Sabrina stopped
"So you're telling me that I broke up with April for no reason and you actually are a bitch like they said. What did you do anyway Sabrina? What did you do that was so bad that they all hate you?" Reece was furious. He loves April so much and it all got ruined because he believed Sabrina over his own girlfriend.
"I Erm... I" Sabrina stopped, she wasn't going to say. So she quickly turned round to walk off when she heard Jamie talk to her for the first time since she told him about the abortion.
"That's right S, going running off like you usually do. Reece asked you a question, so why don't you just answer him. Tell him you're a dirty liar and that you broke my heart to a million pieces. How about you explain to him why you did it because I still don't understand why you couldn't have told me about it" Jamie walked around Reece and April and stopped on the other side.
"Jamie you don't have to do this. She doesn't have to tell him, he should have believed me and trusted me, but he didn't. So no matter what she says or does, it's not going to change my mind" April told Jamie without looking at Reece.
"No A, she broke you two up and she is going to tell him why even if everyone is listening" Jamie replied
"But my dad is watching too J, he'll tell Uncle Nathan and Auntie Haley and Mom" April said looking around the gym
"I don't care who knows A. I loved her and she did that too me. we could have dealt with it together, but according to her she didn't want to" Jamie shook his head "She is telling him or I will"
Then Sabrina turned and looked at Jamie with tears in her eyes "Please don't Jamie, it will ruin me"
"What like you ruined me or April or Reece?" Jamie also had tears in his eyes "You tell them or I will and that's a promise "
"I can't Jamie and I won't. I'm sorry okay I really am. Please forgive me" Sabrina walked closer to Jamie and hugged him. Instead of pulling her in closer he pushed her away.
"Get off me S" Jamie pushed her away "Tell him now"
"NO" Sabrina shook her head and the tears fell from her eyes
"Then I will" Jamie turned to Reece and walked up to him "Okay well. Sabrina was pregnant and everything was okay and she said she wanted to keep it and I agreed and then she rang me one day crying saying she lost the baby by miscarriage and then last month she called me again asking me to go over hers and when I get there she's crying so I comfort her until she tells me that she didn't have a miscarriage and she lied, she had an abortion instead. That is why the twins and Lilly hate her, April hasn't changed Reece. Sabrina is just a two face liar" everyone was listening and Jamie didn't care at least it was out now and everyone knew.
"I hope your happy now Jamie. You ruined my life" Sabrina cried
"You ruined mine first" Jamie replied and Sabrina ran out crying
Then Reece stepped towards April and looked at her, she refused to return the look, so he took his hand and put tree fingers under her chin and turned her face to his and he smiled "I love you" Was all he said.
"I love you too Reece, but I don't know what to do" April admitted
"We can be together again A. The way we used to be all loved up and happy" Reece responded "Please say yes"
"I love you so much and I would be a fool to let you go Reece" April huffed "I don't know what to do"
"Then don't baby, I miss you so much" Reece pleaded
"I can't Reece. You hurt me so bad and you picked her over me and that wasn't fair" April turned and walked back to her squad and Lucas called the boys back over. April started talking to the others, but sneaked a quick glance at Reece before she started the routine.
...
The triplets were sleeping, they were good babies and slept all night and most of the day. Haley wasn't working today so she went to see Brooke. She walked into Brooke's house and made a drink then joined Brooke on the sofa.
"Hey Hales" Brooke smiled putting down her sketch pad
"Hi Brookie, How are the boys?" Haley asked looking into the boys baskets
"There good boys actually. They sleep all night and most of the day, so I don't really have problems with them "Brooke replied
"That's good. So how are the girls coping with the change?" Haley asked putting her cup down on the coffee table
"Erm... great actually, but then again April hasn't been out her room since she and Reece broke up weeks ago. Even when I was in hospital. All she'll do is come see me and the boys and then go back to her room when she got home" Brooke explained. Then she sighed "But I do hear her in the middle of the night sneaking into the boy's room for an hour or so and then she goes back to her room and won't come out until she's leaving for school or on the weekends she doesn't come out at all"
"She must have loved him then Brookie for her to be hurting like she is" Haley responded
"Loves Hales. She loves him still and she won't take him back any time soon because she's just like me, she wants to prove that she's strong and she wants to shoe him what his missing" Brooke knows her daughter well and she smiled because of it.
"I remember what happened when Nathan and I got together and how it happened. I was so hurt when I found out he was using me to get back at Luke, but then I looked pass that and look where we are now. We have Jamie and were married and we love each other. She'll get through this Brooke and she might even forgive him if she can do what I did" Haley told Brooke
"Yeah maybe you're right Hales" Brooke huffed hoping Haley was right
...
Cheer practice was over. October and Lilly headed out to their lockers to grab their bags. April told them that she would meet them out there when she gets her stuff ready. Lucas had a meeting or something afterwards so they would be walking home, which they didn't mind at all. The gym was empty expect from April and Reece. Reece was walking towards the boy's locker room when he stopped and ran over to April again. April picked up her bag and went to walk out when Reece grabbed her arm gently and turned her to face her.
"April please forgive me" Reece asked looking deep in her eyes
"I do forgive you Reece, I just can't do this with you right now" April replied "I just can't and I'm sorry for that"
"Why can't you, I miss you and I love you and I know I messed up rawly" Reece admitted again "I love you so much and when I broke up with you, you gotta understand what it did to me. I hurt from head to toe, it was like a piece of me died A. You're my soul mate and I realise that now. I think we had to go through this to know it. Were meant to be together A and you know that too"
"Well like my mother once said if people are meant to be together they will always find their way back in the end and I guess if were meant to be, I will find my way back to you, but at the moment I'm just hurt and disappointed by you instead" April responded
"But I love you and I want you back now" Reece sounded like a baby wanting something so bad
"I love you too and god I want to kiss you so bad, but you hurt me and I need to know you won't do it again Reece" April replied
"Please just kiss me A" Reece pleaded
"But I need to know you won't hurt me" April resisted and then without her realising what was going on. Reece kissed her gently on the lips. Instead of pulling away she grabbed and pushed herself closer. She wanted this so badly, she wanted him so badly and then they pulled a part "You kissed me"
"I know a did baby" Reece smiled
"You kissed me Reece" April repeated
"I know I did and I'm sorry, but I needed to show you how much you mean to me A" Reece confessed quickly "I needed to show you that I love you deeply and truly"
"I missed that" April whispered "I missed you"
"I missed you too" With Reece saying that he kissed April again and pushed her against the wall hard, but she didn't care because she had her boyfriend back; she had Reece back "So what does this mean A?" Reece asked when they parted again.
"This means were back together baby. I love you so much, just promise me that you won't hurt me again Reece and you won't break this promise" April answered
"I promise baby" Reece kissed April to seal his promise "I promise" he repeated then smiled at his girlfriend once again.
...
I had to put April and Reece back together because their meant to be together.
So what did you think? Tell me please. Press review and comment. Love you all Rochiiee
