Extraordinary Girl, chapter 19
As soon as I got home I went straight to bed and a peaceful sleep, dreaming about TRE and OF COURSE nobody else...that would just be stupid...jeez..like I'd dream about anyone else anyways.... I don't like anyone but Tre...why would anyone even think that I would? So stupid...
It was all good until I woke to the sounds of screaming at about 10:00AM.
'Not again...' I said to myself as I realised it was my parents.
I got up and my dad was pushing my mum around.
"Decide to finally show up Dad? Oh you're not drunk, that's a tad surprising... " I said.
"Lexi, go back to your room, don't get involved, I don't want you to hear this," my mum tried to say.
"Since when have you cared what I hear?" I asked.
"Lexi, you know this family has been going through a tough time lately... " she tried to explain.
I interrupted, "oh lately is it? LATELY? Does lately mean the past 3 years? What does it take for you to fucking leave him already!"
"Shut the fuck up! Why were you born?" my dad yelled at me.
"Sorry, not my fault dad, it's yours and hers, you were in love with her once... "
"I was never in love with that slut."
"Don't say this in front of your own daughter!" my mum firmly said to my dad.
"I'll say what I want to say, you're both just sluts so what does it matter?"
He gave me the dirtiest look and I couldn't help it but spitting in his face.
"You little... " He went to grab me and I tried to run upstairs but he grabbed my ankle and I fell face flat onto the stairs, "how dare you... you little son of a... "
"I'm a daughter... " I tried to say.
"DON'T BE FUCKING SMART WITH ME!" He grabbed me and pushed me against the wall. I tried to ignore the pain and kept a smile on my face to piss him off.
"STOP!" My mum tried to scream at him, he pushed her away.
"Why are you smiling, you shit." He smacked me across the face with the back of his hand, my smile disappeared.
"GOOD! NOW GET OUT OF MY FUCKING HOUSE I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOUR UGLY FACE AGAIN!" He pushed me out the door and slammed it behind me.
I stood on the door step, holding my bruised cheek, tears silently drowning me. I was standing there and realised that I really couldn't go back to that house, I never wanted to again, I stood there in Tre's old tee-shirt and my old jeans and then realised who I needed now was Tre, nobody else.
I didn't know what I was doing, my face was bruised, red, swollen and drenched with tears, I was devastated and my mind was all over the place yet my feet led me to his road, to his gate, to his door which I opened, and what shocked me most is that I didn't feel surprised, I didn't know if I was so upset if I was seeing things or my heart had stopped beating; I didn't care.
Tre immediately got off Sarah, my cousin, and my bestest friend, the person I've trusted my whole life, who was lying on the coach, half naked and hair all messed up.
I didn't know what to say, what to think, the one person who made me feel better, who I came to seek for comfort when I obviously needed it the most was just all over my bestest friend who I trusted my life with.
I stood there and Tre tried to run over to me, while doing up the zip on his jeans, "Lexi, it's not what it looks like... "
I gave them both evil looks as more tears rolled down my cheeks, and then I ran, I didn't know where I was going and I didn't know what I was going to do but all I knew is that I now had nobody; friends, family and loved ones all deceived me.
I kept running, my entire body and soul was screaming in agony, my heart had been shred up into a billion pieces and it hurt like hell, I couldn't stand the pain, I had to get rid of it.
I stopped running and collapsed in a heap where I realised was once me and Tre's "special spot".
I didn't know why I went here, I couldn't control any thoughts going through my mind. I didn't want to live anymore because I had nothing or no one to live for anymore.
I walked towards the water, my mind was controlling my feet and actions, I didn't know what I was about to do, it was automatic but it felt right, I suddenly realised what I was doing and went along with it, I was sick of my life, why should it have to go on?
"LEXI! DON'T!" I heard someone scream, through huffing and puffing like they'd been running for their life.
I turned around to see Mike, I stopped dead in the water, he ran up to me and collapsed on his knees, looking up at me and holding my legs, "don't do this Lexi... "
"Mike, you don't understand, I have nothing to live for anymore, I have no choice," I said through tears.
He pulled me down onto my knees, "I'm sorry about Tre, he's always been like that, I tried to stop him... "
"Mike, it's not just Tre, it's everything and everyone."
"Don't be stupid, there'll always be someone out there who loves you, no matter who deceives you, friends, family, whoever, somebody out there loves you."
"But who... " I tried to say,
It was that moment I broke down, I collapsed into Mike's arms and screamed and cried, I couldn't care about what I looked like, because I couldn't stop it, Mike held me for what seemed hours, but time didn't bother me at the moment and Mike just sat there with me.
"Lexi, it's okay..."
"It's not okay Mike! It's not, I have nobody!"
"You have me!"
"What do you mean, I hardly know you, we had a moment and that's it... "
"Lexi you know I have strong feelings for you, I have right from the beginning, I hated Tre for having you and I couldn't hide it. My heart was broken aswell once, I know how you feel."
"You don't know how I feel! Nobody does! I don't have a life to live anymore!"
"Lexi, stop thinking this!" I looked up at him and realised he was crying aswell, a small tear dropped down his cheek, I gently wiped it away with the back of my hand.
"Mike...I'm sorry... please can you go now, you're not making this any less or more easy for me... " I tried to struggle away from him but he wouldn't let go, "let me go Mike! I don't need you to run my life! Leave me alone!"
"I'm not going to let you do this!"
I ignored him, "LET ME GO!" I hit his back as hard as I could, trying to struggle free but as much as I hurt him he still wouldn't budge.
"Lexi... I love you."
"How do you know?"
"Trust me, I know."
"You're just saying it... just leave me alone! I don't need this!" I screamed.
"I'm not, I know what love is like, I don't care if it's love at first site or whatever, I LOVE YOU!"
"STOP IT!" I screamed.
He let me go, I ran deeper into to the water, but I stopped, I stood there for a moment staring out to the horizon, thinking about things, my whole body was crying, my mind scanned every possible memory or relationship I've had in my life for ONE reason to keep going, ONE reason not to do what my mind was telling me too, I was torn in strong emotions, I couldn't control anything, everything I was doing or saying was just automatic, I stood there, until I realised, I'd had feelings for Mike all along, it was love at first site, I never believed in it but now I realised it could happen. I realised my feelings for Mike were right now stronger than any feelings I'd ever had for Tre, and that was defiantly what I would call an automatic reaction, that was defiantly what I would call ONE reason to atleast give a chance to keep going for,
I took my chances, I turned around and saw Mike standing right behind me, I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his shoulders, we kissed passionately and it was the most meaningful, wished-for kiss that I thought possible.
"I love you too," I whispered in his ear.
THE END!
