A Locket For Love

Big Hugs and Party time!

12 years later

AGE 22

“Lillie we are going to miss our flight, hurry up!” Isis shouted from the bottom of the stairs. I swear if she wasn’t my best friend, there would be tears!

“Alright, chill your beans I’m coming now!” I shouted, grabbing my handbag and making my way down the stairs. At the bottom stood Isis, her long blonde hair pulled into bunches at the sides making her look about 5 not 22.

 She had her arms folded under her breasts and a pout on her face causing me to laugh slightly. “Sorry Ice, I was packing the last few things.” I said making her smile at her nickname. We have been best friends since high school started and on the first day we had already made nicknames for each other.

“Pop, we need to go and say goodbye quickly.” Ice said making her way towards the morning room. The nick name ‘Pop’ was given to me because Poppy is another type of flower also because of Isis’s nickname is Ice so people call us Ice Pop. Yeah, slightly weird but that’s us!

I don’t know whether anyone else does this but Ice and I check what we are wearing before we go anywhere so that we are matching. Today we went for casual and comfy, we are both wearing black leggings and different crop tops with light zip hoodies. Ice has her hair in bunches and mine is tied into a bun so that you can see the locket hung around my neck.

“See you at the wedding dear’s.” Mum said smiling; for once.

“I don’t think I have seen a day when you aren’t wearing similar clothes.” Dad laughed, “and I can’t believe I agreed to let my girls go away!”  Daddy muttered looking upset.

“The month will go quickly, Dad. You will never know that we were gone.” Ice said while walking towards him. Ice and Daddy are really close as her father died a year after we met due to cancer. This made her mum go a little crazy for a while causing Ice to spend a lot of time around here.

“Come here girls” daddy said standing up from his seat and opening his arms for us. We both ran towards him like we used to when we were younger and he squeezed us tightly.

The first time we had one of these hugs was back when we were only 14 and had gone to a party that daddy said we couldn’t go to...

*flashback*

“No girls you’re too young, I know what they are like... Alcohol and touchy lads?! no way. That is my decision, now please respect that.” he puffed out.

“But daddy Louis is going” I complained giving him my puppy dog eyes. He always gets to go out to parties it’s not fair!

“Lillie, that’s because he is 18, four years older than you so don’t give me that!” he said raising his voice and becoming irritated. Daddy only calls me by my full name when gets angry, he only gets angry when it involves us and danger so we better leave before he snaps at us again.

As we stood to leave, he ran his hand through his silky brown hair and sighed. “Look Lil I’m sorry for shouting I just get a bit angry sometimes.” He said looking sorry.

“Its okay daddy, I understand.” I said giving him a small smile as me and Ice left the room.

We went straight to Louis room to attempt to get him to take us, it’s the biggest party of the year we are so not missing it even if daddy doesn’t want us to go.

We walk in without knocking, like we always do, only to find Louis wasn’t the only one in his room... he happened to have a bleach blonde Barbie sat in a tight pink tracksuit on his bed.

“Mrs Harper won’t be very happy you have company and she doesn’t know.” Ice reminded him, mother always says she should know when we have company. Ice began to smirk; uh oh she has a plan.

“I would love to meet her!” the blonde chirped looking excited. Ugh how stupid and fake can you get!?

Louis sighed and looked at the girl like she was retarded and then looked back at us, “What do you want girls?”

That is exactly how we got our ticket to the party...

It was coming close to eleven and the place was packed, the party was wild and there were people everywhere.

I was stood watching Ice dance with some boys our age; I was stood next to a sofa pushed against the wall next to the kitchen. “Do you want a drink?” I heard from behind me, there voice was soft, masculine and melodic causing me to shiver. I didn’t turn around at first; who would talk to me anyway?  “Do you want a drink?” he said a little louder this time, so I turned around.

 He was gorgeous; tall, muscular with golden hair and mossy green eyes. “Are you talking to me?” I questioned pointing to myself. As if a guy like him would talk to a little girl like me!

“I do believe you are the prettiest girl here, so I must be talking to you, I wouldn’t want to waste my time on somebody else.” He said in a smug tone. I started to feel uneasy about this he was acting quite strange...

“That’s pretty.” he said leaning towards, making me cough due to the smell of alcohol on his breath, how was he still standing?  He lifted the locket that was placed around my neck and looked at it closely.

Just as I was about to reply he disappeared and I could hear moaning on the floor “f***ing! A**hole... don’t ever go near her again!” Louis shouted while kicking the monkeys out of the boy.

“Louis STOP! You will get in trouble!” I shouted, but was barely heard by the banter of the crowd that had formed.

Suddenly, a bulky boy about a head taller than Louis storms up behind him and grabs him by the collar throwing him to the floor.

“LOUIS!” I screamed, running toward where Louis was lying on the floor. I helped him up, but the big guy was quick and punched Louis in the nose making blood splatter all over my new golden dress.

Suddenly Louis and I were being dragged through the crowd and outside.

“I didn’t know what else to do I’m so sorry!” I heard Ice cry behind me. I turned around to tell her that it was fine...

But when I turned around I saw someone I didn’t expect to see...

“Daddy...” I whispered guiltily, looking down ashamed.  “I’m so sorry I didn’t know this was going to happen we just really wanted o go to this party and...” my babbling was interrupted by daddy’s big arms pulling Ice and I into a tight hug.

“Its okay girls, I forgive you” he whispered...    **

My thoughts were rudely disrupted by my mother’s stern voice, “Aren’t you going to miss you flight? She questioned.

“Bye daddy, see you soon.” I whispered in his ear the same time Ice said “see you soon dad.”

We left the soon after getting a taxi to the airport...

“I’m so excited for the wedding!” Ice said bouncing in her seat on the plane.

“Me too, I can’t wait to see Louis again it’s been too long!” I gushed back. Who would have thought my big brother has settled down and is getting married in a month!

His Fiancée wanted to get married near her family in America, so in compromise he asked if Ice and I could be bridesmaids! That is why we are on route to Lake Tahoe, California. As bridesmaids we have to be there to help chose and fit our dresses and go to the rehearsals; meaning we get to spend an extra month at the Lake!

“Only four more hours to go! Then it will be sun and hot guys for us!” Ice said clapping her hands. I’m sure sometimes she forgets I have a boyfriend...

Sorry for the boring chap! I just wanted to introduce Louis and her Dad a little more...

I hope you liked it, tell me what you think!
