CHAPTER 42 (PART 2)
Oh my gosh, if I had one wish right now...I would wish for Abby, Charlie and Nathan to be here...because then at least I’ll have some normal people to talk to!
Instead of scrambled up brains of stupid teenagers, including my brothers.....and no offense to the little ones...but they’re not really ‘talkative’ material as all they wanna do is run around the place...not that I’m really complaining thou, because it’s pretty amusing to watch.
“Tom!” I gasp eyes slightly widening as I peer over to the four year old crouched on the floor and smearing some kind of food – looking like cake, all over it “You don’t do that...” I try to scold him moving over and picking him up, but failing at scolding as I bit my lip to hold back a smirk that’s forming on my face, because even I find that a bit funny, and honestly, don’t really care that he’s just spread food all over the floor...meh, the amount of money these people have could properly afford to replace the whole floor and still have enough to fly across the world and back.
Posh tw*ts.
Tom just grins up at me, obviously sensing that I’m not really mad at him..and I chuckle at his adorable face and ruffle his hair allowing him to run off again....
Oh but it’s not like I’m letting him run loose...no..I’m letting him run off, towards a bunch of other little kids his age, because like I said before..there’s kids here all ages...and a few around Tom’s age....and all those kids are over in a corner getting kept entertained by a few workers...and guess who’s sat with them like a complete loser?
Yup, me.
And what makes it worse, is that it was my choice to be here...well kinda. As this is really the only place that I’m more comfortably with to be, seeing as my brothers are off somewhere still tryin to pull girls......
But on the bright side, Morgan and Darren are here....which gives Tom, the twins, Cory and Lee someone that they know to be with.
“Lexi!”
I turn my head as I hear name being called and see the dark brown hair of my brother hurrying towards me, with a cheeky smile on his face...
I raise an eyebrow at him questionably as he approaches “Now what are you doing all sat here by yourself hmm?”
I roll my eyes at my brother, and look away, flicking my eyes back towards the kids “Well someone’s gotta look out for them...” I nod my head towards the playing toddlers....
Blake chuckles beside me “Yes, and that’s what those people get paid for..” He points towards the few members of staff with the kids “Not you, so come on...come with me...you might as well have some fun, enjoy tonight..” He smiles holding his hand out towards me...
“Let’s go dance...” He grins his goofy grin half smirking aswell
My eyebrow shoots up as he says that, giving him a ‘what the hell’ look and he just grins...
“Come on!” He urges me waving his hand at me more to take it
I sigh quietly, knowing Blake won’t give up and would stand there until I agree....so I sigh a quiet “Fine..” And take Blake’s hand causing him to grin and pull me up....dragging me away and towards the crowd of people on the polish wooden floor...
“Blake...”I whine frowning as he drags me through the busy crowd, having to be careful not to bump into someone “I don’t dance...” I frown at him as he glances over his shoulder back down to me.
Smirking he grins and shrugs “So?....neither do we...” he chuckles almost to himself and I feud my eyebrows...
Pushing through the crowd of dancing or standing around teenagers....we finally reach a bunch of familiar faces standing in the middle...
I internally sigh and roll my eyes..
Of course....obviously he would lead me back to my other brothers...
Who else?
But as my eyes land on a certain two I smirk, remembering what happened earlier....
“Hmm...Lexi...” Chris notices me and narrows his eyes slightly.
I grin innocently and wave at him “Sup Chris?” I hold back a chuckle as he carries on glaring at me, I can see his brain working on an evil plan to get me back right this minute....Mwhaha! I’ll like to see him try!
My eyes dart around to see who’s stood here...and I feel a small a wave of disappointment as I don’t see the blonde who I wanted to see.
Seth. My twin, who I haven’t seen basically all night.
Where has that boy got to?
Everyone else I’ve seen.....and my twin I’ve hardly seen...
“So....”My head turns up to Blake and he gives me a cheeky grin “Wanna dance now lil sis?”
I smile lightly and shake my head amused a smirk forming on my lips “Why not?” I smirk at him and let him pull me away again, only a few meters away from the others into the crowd....and I have a feeling the others do follow...
Laughing at Blake as he pulls me to a stop in the middle of the crowd, music is blasting through the speakers up front, and some popular song is playing, not really my taste...but it’s got a catchy beat to get people moving.
I jump slightly out of surprise as I feel a pair of arms wrap around my waist but quickly realise who it is.
“You know Lex, we’re not gunna let you get away with what you did before...” Evan tells me, his chin resting on top of my head and I smirk “We’re gunna get you back.....but for now, for now we can both put it aside and forget about for just tonight....” He carries on “But as soon as we’re back home....” He moves his head towards my ear “It’s payback biatch...”
I smirk and wiggle out of Evan’s grip turning around to face his serious, yet amused and smirking expression..
“Really?” I tilt my head “God...I’m already shaking...”I mock smirking and see his eyes narrow at me
“It’s on sis....it’s on...” I just smirk at my brother and cross my arms, mouthing ‘Bring it on’ before we’re interrupted by the others bumping into us, laughing and shouting at us to start having fun....which basically involves dancing around to the music, which isn’t exactly what you’ll call ‘dancing’...and laughing at each other...
I smirk slyly, Evan going back to laughing with the others.....he may threaten me....but that’s like our daily thing!...and there’s no way I’m gunna believe him that he’ll forget about for tonight, because that’s just what he wants....
No, if I know my brothers....they’ll try something tonight...
And I just can’t wait to see what it is.
~~
Who knew being with my brother like this would actually be a laugh, I mean yes they normally are really...but with being in a dancing crowd and laughing with music playing, and dancing, if you would even call it that, it’s more just moving to the beat....it was good. I had fun.
Not that I would really admit that out loud thou...
“Pff!...Oh my gosh.....I’m so hot!” I gasp fanning myself with my hand, as all the moving bodies around me have created heat...especially as I’ve been in the middle of this crowd for over an hour....even more nearly.
“Yeah...I would agree with that babe” My head snaps up at the voice and I narrow my eyes at the dark haired boy standing opposite it me...
“Dude!” Chris and Blake snap nudging the boy slightly with a glare
Hayden smirks cheekily and teasingly at me, and holds his hands up in defence “Hey, hey! I mean I feel hot too...I don’t mean it like that...” he shakes his head but still with a smirk on his face showing that he was joking, only trying to get something out of it and didn’t mean it...but he really shouldn’t say something like that around my brothers...they take it seriously...
I shake my head lightly mumbling a ‘whatever’...but feel a small smirk tugging at my lips at the thought of just one simply joking comment...it causes my brothers to snap like that....jeeze calm it.
“Urm...I’ gunna get some air!” I tell the over the still loud music and turn around ready to push my way through the crowd....
I make my way through the crowd after slight hesitation as I thought Blake called something after me, but put it down to the music and carried on making my way through, squishing past people into the open.
Finally out of the crowd, I can breathe properly, without the mugginess of sweat from people’s bodies.
Nice.
But even out of the crowd, it’s still all hot air....I need to cool off.
Walking around the edge of the of the room, my eyes spot the entrance....so thinking of nothing else..I make my way towards that.
Sneaking out the entrance, stepping around some people, the cool air of the night meets my war skin and I let out a satisfied sigh...at the change in temperature is good.
Taking in a deep breath, I step out onto the gravel, finally clean, cool air to breath in...it’s good.
Stepping to the side...only just a few steps away from the entrance...I rest my back against the cold stone of the building, I breathe out slowly..
It feels nice to finally get out of that stuffy environment, and after hours....let it be peaceful.
I can still hear the bass of the music vibrating through the foundations of the building, and whenever the door opens, you can hear laughter and chatter from inside, most likely being the adults as they are seated nearer the entrance than the others...
Breathing out again, I see the mist from my breathe blowing up into the night sky as I tilt my head up to see the dark sky casting above...and I can see the occasionally twinkle of silver stars in the night sky, which would be unusual for the middle of the city, but that’s what makes the country side special, the clear non pollution sky. (A/N: forgot to mention, the building/hall thing there at is out of the city)
I smile lightly, gazing at the sky, tonight is actually a pretty clear night, it’s warm yet cool and the sky’s clear, allowing you to see the glowing stars.
I’ve always had a thing about staring up to the sky. I just find something about it mesmerizing, something peaceful, that whatever noise is around you at the time, just seems to disappear and you can get lost in the wonders of the sky.
I know why I do thou, it’s because of my dad. When I was little.....he use to lay out back in our old garden with us on the grass, on clear nights like tonight...and use to tell stories, stories I can’t even remember know because at the time, I would giggle all the time, and shove one of my brothers out the way so I would be closest to our dad, silly really....but I do remember him telling us one of his other stories that each star up there in the night sky, represent someone’s spirit. He use to say any old pets that we had – for example Chris’s Hamster, was up there somewhere once it passed, a way now that I realise was to get Chris to not be too upset.....and he said that those stars, they were looking down on us, almost like heaven, but you can see them.
I still believe this today. Think whatever you want, but I hold onto that, as just something to believe in...to know that whenever I look up...I can see him.
A very small sad smile tugs at my lips, I’m not upset...more happy than anything, as this is a good memory, it reminds me of many things....and the brightest star that’s up there tonight......is my father.
He’s always there.
I smile again, feeling my once warm skin now cooling off and going back to normal, and instead small Goosebumps rising on the skin, as it’s pretty much bare.
A clear of the throat startles me and snapping my head to the side I see a figure walking towards me..
“Hey...” A frown comes to my face as I recognise that voice before I see his face, and I sigh turning away and leaning back against the wall with my arms cross...
Talk about a mood kill, I was perfectly happy and then he decided to turn up.
“What are you doing here?” I speak quietly with as sigh looking to straight ahead down the dark gravel driveway/path.
I hear him chuckle and come to a stop beside me, leaning back on the wall and raising his leg behind him so he’s leaning back on that too.
“Well...” He starts “Firstly...it’s a public area...I can go where I like..” I can just see the big smirk on his face as he says that “And second...and really the real reason....your brothers didn’t want you to be out here on your own..” He shrugs and I glance at him out the corner of my eye..
“Really?” I question and he nods “So why did they tell you to come? No offense...but they’re not really big fans of yours...” I roll my eyes looking away again back down the gravel driveway..
I hear him chuckle amused “Well...they didn’t exactly ask..me..” He trails off and I srunch my eyebrows up confused..
“Well okay..if you’re gunna push! I’ll tell you!” I roll my eyes at his dramatics...but feel a small smirk tugging at my lips “I overheard them saying for someone to follow you....and well....sent Leon to go with you, which is weird because it’s not like he could really do anything if something happened...” Pff! Who says?
“So....well when he was following you, he lost where you were going, but I saw so told him I’ll go, seeing as he didn’t look like he really wanted to anyway and well yeah! Tada! Here I am!”
Rolling my eyes at hi, I hug myself tighter...but still feel that small amused smirk on my lips.
“Hmm..right. And who says I need anyone anyway? I’ perfectly fine on my own, only inches away fro the door...what’s gunna happen?” I ask rhetorically shaking my head at y brother’s over protectivness...
“Well...” Noah starts but I cut him off.
“Shhs! I didn’t actually mean you should answer!” I turn to him frowning “Just sshh!...it was fine before you came out...” Okay, maybe I didn’t really mean for those last words to come out...
Noah arches an eyebrow at e “Whooaah!” He laughs placing a hand to his hand “I’m hurt Lexi....that hurt....alot” He faked acting hurt, and it might of worked if he didn’t have that cocky, amused smirk on his face.
I sigh rolling my eyes once more, I swear that’s all I do, “whatever...” I utter turning y head away from him again...
Chuckling, he steps closing to me, so if I move, my arm brushes against his. “Oh come on...I’ messin...” he nudges me chuckling...
“Don’t be all grumpy, grumpy on me tonight....I’ sure you can be yourself for once....you were just moments ago back inside with your bros...”
I frown turning my head to hi, slightly surprised that he is infact closer but quickly get rid of it “How do you know what I was doing?” I ask him almost accusingly.
He smirks at me, tilting his head to the side almost teasingly, he’s literally only a reach away, I could reach out and smack him if I wanted.
“I wasn’t spying on you if that’s what you thought” he says amusedly, smirking and I glare at hi for that, I wasn’t thinking that!
Chuckling he shakes his head “No....I was there too. Course I saw!...Jeeze thanks Lex, way to hurt my feelings even more, you didn’t even notice I was there!” He fakes hurt shaking his head and looking down to his feet...
I tilt my head this time looking at him, stepping back a tiny step...if you don’t look him in the eyes...you would actually think he’s upset..
“You should be an actor..” I blurt out “Some people might actually pay to see you sad...” I smirk and he lifts his head back up meeting my eyes..
“Ha-ha-HA!” He speaks sarcastically but I see that smirk still there... and he raises an eyebrow “Maybe I just will..”
I snort laughing shaking my head.... “Good for you...” I roll my eyes, crossing my arms around myself again as I dropped them...and hugging myself tighter as I get a sudden breeze on my bare arms...
Noah’s eyes scan me and still with a quirked eyebrow he asks “You cold?” his eyes flicking to mine.
Out of habit I slightly narrow my eyes up at hi, as I’ facing him still now “No..” I tell him bluntly, not wanting that stupid moment of him giving me his jacket...
His lips tug up into a smirk “Good.” He says “Because I wouldn’t give you my jacket anyway or anything like that cus...do you know how much this costs?!...my mom would kill me if I gave it to you, who knows what you could do! Loose it? Ruin it? Mess it up? Hell no! I’ll rather you freeze thanks!” After his little rant he grins innocently at me tilting his head slightly, showing his dimples...
I stare at him for a moment blinking, and processing what he just said....before I crack up laughing.
Leaning against the wall for support I shake my head laughing at him...I did not expect him to say that.
Smirking I stop laughing just about looking back to him to see a smug smirk on his face, obviously smug that he made me laugh....
Shaking my head with an amused smile I stand up straight, my eyes meeting his..
“Right...okay then, glad that’s sorted..” I smirk chuckling slightly and Noah smirks still.
My eyes scan over his jacket thou, as much as I can see in the dark, his jacket just looks like an normal blazer type one that my brothers, and most of the other guys in there are wearing...
“How much was it then?” I ask half curiously and half amused, looking back up to hi
“Nothing” Noah shrugs “It was a present from my Nan”
I stare at him again, seeing a serious expression on his face....and that’s what it causes for me to crack up laughing again......because just the stupidness of this....makes me laugh. It goes from hi ranting about not giving it over....to then a serious statement that makes his previous rant....invalid.
Soon enough Noah joins in my laughter, and that just sets us off at laughing at eachother...thinking something and just cracking up laughing all over again.
Yup...that’s pretty much it.
But who knew I would be doing this with Noah....
“Have you seen Seth?” I question into the darkness hugging my legs to myself as me and Noah are sat on a bench a few meters from the entrance of the building....after being out here for quite a while now, and surprisingly I don’t mind it....
“Ermm no, I don’t think so actually....” Noah replies and I sigh, looking from the sky to the ground, sticking up pieces of grass where this bench is placed.
“Why?” Noah asks...
I sigh through my nose, keeping my eyes on the grass in front of me, “Just haven’t seen him hardly all night..” I answer..
“Hmm..” Noah ponders “maybe he’s found some friends...” now is it just me or can I hear a smirk in his voice when he says that?
I narrow my eyes at the grass suspiciously “What do you mean?” I ask him.
“Nothing, nothing....just...a accurate guess to your answer.”
I scrunch my eyebrows up and finally lift my head to look at him “What?” I nearly snap “What are you on about?”
A small teasing smile is tugging at his lips “Nothing...seriously....just I thought I might have seen him earlier...” He mumbles the last part looking over my shoulder
I narrow my eyes at him “But you said you haven’t seen him!” I glare at him seeing his lies “So which is it huh? You either have...or haven’t seen my brother?” I hug, yes I’m annoyed now, we’ve been out here for at least half an hour or so...and have actually survived one another...but now...now I think he’s starting to bug me again...
Noah holds his hands up in surrender “Whooa...chill there little firecracker...I knew you were short fused...but I didn’t know you were this bad!” He tries to joke with a chuckle but I just glare at him and growl for him using that stupid nickname...
Noah lowers his hands and sighs “alright, alright....I’ve seen him..” He mumbles...
My eyes widen, “So why the heck didn’t you say?” I snap annoyed and stand up from the bench “Where?” I demand...he’s seen my twin, where as I haven’t seen him all freaking night!
Noah sighs and stands up slowly from the bench “Okay....stop snapping and I’ll take you...”
I glare at him which earns a smirk and chuckle from himself before turning and moving around the bench “alright...come on then...” he motions for me to follow him and I do, still with narrowed suspicious eyes on hi, how can he know where Seth is when I don’t?
“But....I’ gunna show you at your own risk okay? because...because...I’ pretty sureyou’re not gunna like what you see...”
I frown at him as I trail behind, walking around the back of this property “And why wouldn’t I like what I see? And why the heck are we walking around here?!” I frown at my surroundings, Seth’s around the back? I didn’t even realise there was one, or that we could even go out there...
Noah doesn’t answer, which gets on my nerves....but as we round the building...I soon see a large white canopy spread out across the grass, a few people out here, all ages...and can see the large concrete patio leading from the doors of the house, leading to some steps onto the grass to where the canopy is, a few chairs set up underneath it, other than that...it’s an empty space...and there’s music playing, no not from inside the house.....it’s coming from out here somewhere. Oh and not to forget to mention the big ass rectangular pool that’s placed just off from the canopy
Creasing my eyebrows in confusion...Noah leads me around...is Seth really out here?...why didn’t he say?
Stepping onto the edge of the concrete patio Noah stops and I come to his side, eyes already scanning over the people here....looking for a certain someone...
“Okay...they’re right over there...but seriously Lex don’t go all ape sh*t just yet...they’re only talking...just give them a chance...”
“Them?” I frown even more confused and follow the direction Noah’s pointing, pointing over towards the pool, where a few people around crowded around...
"What? I don’t see anyth-“my sentence dies on my tongue as my eyes lock onto two people, sat by the pool side.
What?!....like What the hell?! All this time and my brother, my twin has been out here, sitting by the poolside all happy dappy, talking and laughing with her?!
Why is he out here?! How could he be out here?....why would he do that?
I feel a heavy weight in my stomach as I witness this, and I thought he wasn’t serious.
Because right there, sat at the pool side, is my twin and Noah’s sister.
April.
