-Lexi's POV-
"Lexi! You can't drive! You don't have your licence" She slurred slightly.
"You drive" I said. I know, she was tipsy, but I would crash the car if I drove and.. there was no other way. I needed to get away from this. I couldn't handle it. I couldn't think of anything else except Harry. He cheated on me. It all made sense now.
"But-"
"You're driving" I said.
I heard shouting behind us and footsteps coming closer.
"LEXI! WAIT! LEXI!" His voice yelled out clearly over the shouts and camera flashes from the paparazzi.
I grabbed Maslinkas hand and pulled her along as we broke out into a fast jog.
"Lexi.." I heard him shout one last time, his voice breaking slightly and he stopped running.
However, we kept going, running along the rows of parked cars and over to Maslinkas. (She had taken her car with a few of the others.)
Tears blurred my vision as we came up to the car, cameras still following us.
I wiped my eyes furiously as I slammed the door shut and put on my seat belt. Maslinka followed close after me and put the car into gear. She backed out slowly and we left the resort. I left it all behind. I left him behind.
"Lexi.. I'm so sorry about all of this.. I'm sure it was just the paparazzi making up stuff" Maslinka told me even though her voice was unsure. We were now out on the open road, only a few cars around.
"No, no.. it all makes sense.. he lied to my face every time.. I can't believe I couldn't see through it! Jaymee is a hot blonde with big tits and she's just what every guy wants.. why am I so stupid?" I finally cracked and sobbed loudly into my hands. Maslinka reached over and rubbed my back for a few seconds before returning it so she could drive.
My body was shaking violently and the tears kept coming. My eyes were already sore and I gave up on trying to wipe the tears away and they ran freely down my cheeks.
I can't believe it. From the moment they met they had started flirting with each other. Had they been in contact before we came to New York? No, they couldn't have been. They had laughed and joked at the dinner we had had on one of the first nights. But wait. Didn't she have a boyfriend? I remember Sydney faintly mentioning it to me. That was either a lie, they broke up, or she had cheated on him with Harry.
I still couldn't believe this was happening. Harry, my best friend and boyfriend, had gone behind my back with another girl. And also, it just happened to be my step-sister. I wonder what they have done. How long has this been happening? I couldn't even bring myself to think about it. I didn't want it to be real. Maybe this is just a dream. I pinched myself and let out a little yelp - it was more like a strangled sob - and Maslinka looked over at me sympathetically. No, this was not a dream. It was reality.
My chest started hurting. No, not physically, but my heart. This must be what it's like to be heart broken. It was like a fire had started and I couldn't put it out. It was burning and the pain was horrible. It was a different kind of pain though, it was worse than I had ever experienced.
I choked back more sobs but there weren't as many tears anymore. Then I became angry.
Why was I shedding tears for him? He ruined everything. Why waste your tears on him?
Because I love him.
But he doesn't love you.
Then I was sad again. More tears appeared from no where. I cried and it felt like each second the pain just got worse.
He never loved you, it was all fake.
My head told me. But part of me did believe that he actually loved me.
I looked down at my hands as another sob escaped my throat. I noticed the silver ring shining around my finger.
I was angry again.
This was all part of the show! To make you believe he did love you! So you wouldn't suspect everything!
I tore the ring off my finger and rolled down the window. I threw the ring as far as I could and it disappeared into the dry grass. I let the cool breeze blow against my face for a few moments before winding the window up again.
I turned on the radio, making sure it was loud and tried to let the music drown out all of my thoughts. But all I could think about was Harry.
-Harry's POV-
She's gone.
What if I don't see her again? No, of course you will.
I stood in the parking lot, watching the car drive away into the distance.
The paparazzi were flashing their stupid cameras like crazy and shouting more questions than ever.
I seriously felt like knocking them out right now.
I turned around to see my mum, Gemma, the boys and their girlfriends looking at me with pure disappointment in their eyes.
If only they knew.
My own eyes were brimming with tears and I scuffed my shoe against the ground angrily and walked away from everyone.
People from the resort were trying to get the paparazzi away and I could faintly hear police sirens in the distance.
I walked into the trees and sat down on a log.
Who the hell would do something like that.
Jaymee.
Then I knew it.
She had disappeared and gotten the paparazzi. She must have told them that we were dating, that I was cheating on Lexi with her. She wanted to split us up. Ruin Lexi.
She wanted me for herself. I knew she had from the start. Acting all innocent to try and get me to like her instead of Lexi. All she wanted was fame. What a real b!***. Who would do that. Besides what happened to her 'boyfriend'?
I love Lexi. Always have and always will. That lie Jaymee told the paps might have just ruined everything. She won't ever trust me again. She won't believe me. What if my own family and friends don't believe me? But they know me better than that.
I would never hurt Lexi. I mean, yes, I have just a few days ago - oh my god. She will never forgive me now. That is too much drama for such a sweet girl like Lexi. She won't be able to handle it.
What have I done?
Nothing.
True, Jaymee has done this. But also, I haven't done anything about it yet either.
I grabbed my phone but there was no signal. What now? Who knows where she went?
You need to find her.
My subconscious told me. I knew I had to.
I walked out of the trees and back to the car park where the police had arrived.
I stayed out of sight behind the building for a moment, just watching.
The paps were being escorted into police cars and my friends were all standing around, talking.
I saw my mum crying, some girls and Gemma comforting her. She was crying because of me.
Then I saw Steve and Gabriella. They looked sad and confused. Their special night, one of the most memorable nights they would've had had just been ruined. If only Gabriella knew it was her daughters fault. But instead, everyone would blame me.
The tears started spilling down my cheeks. I didn't cry usually, but this was different.
I had just lost the person I love.
-Lexi's POV-
I looked out of the window, bits of memories flashing through my mind. My cheeks were tear-stained and my eyes were all puffy. I probably looked like crap but I couldn't care less.
A new song started playing.
Rewind - Jamie Mcdell.
I remember waiting for those aeroplanes to cross the sky
Lie in golden grass and savour every moment we're alive
A day in summer when the music played a different kind of song
Nervous whisper as you ask me if I'd be your favourite girl
The painful memory of singing that we'd sail around the world
Now I'm wondering why I couldn't see how much I had to learn
And rewind five times
So I can make it that we never met
And go back in time
So I can change the day I let you in
Rewind five times ..
I lost it again as memories came back.
*FLASHBACK*
It was snowing outside where Harry was finishing our snowmen.
I made the hot chocolates for us, making sure to add lots of marsh mellows for Harry.
I remembered to put my boots on before I went back outside and picked up the hot chocolates after opening the door and was careful not to spill any of the hot drinks.
Then I noticed the words written in the snow. I dropped both of the drinks to the ground, unaware of the burning liquid that had splashed on my hand. Harry was standing beside the words.
"Lexi Rae Edwards, will you be my girlfriend?"
End of flashback***
I started full on crying again and Maslinka leaned over to soothe me.
"Lexi, everything will be alright-"
Suddenly the car swerved and started tumbling very fast down the hill on the side of the road. That's all I remember before everything went black.
