Hello!
I hope you guys are enjoying the reading.
This is Lexi's last chapter as a teenager, and now we're going to follow the plotline of the TV Show through her pov - also Sean's.
I intend to publish another chapter tomorrow. If you are interested, don't forget to leave 'likes' and reviews.
I've put a lot of effort into translating this chapter. Sorry if the first ones weren't amazing, but I'm trying to improve my skills.
Xoxo
Spring Break's
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Lexi. Happy birthday to you!"
Lexi blew out the seventeen candles spread on her birthday cake and smiled at her parents who were sitting at the foot of her bed.
"Thanks for all of this, Mum." Lexi said seeing the gas balloons all around the room and seeing her mother holding a big box with a large lace on it. Then she asked in an anxious tone to her mother "Can I open it?"
"Yes" Tatiana said excitedly.
It was a new laptop which made Lexi smile awkwardly. She had broken hers in a fit of anger just a few weeks ago.
It wasn't uncommun on nowadays those tantrums to happen. Also panic attack, nightmares and for her to cry her eyes out.
"Thank you Mum and Dad" Lexi said doing her best to put up an excited face.
"You will need it for homeschooling" Her mother said with a soft smile "I hired the best tutors in California. One of them is even Russian. I told her you don't know much of the language and she is more than availabe to teach you everything".
Lexi didn't say anything as she was still processing that madness about moving to America. She might be daughter of two Russians, but Lexi was born and raised in England. She couldn't speak a word in russian without looking pathetic. She loved to drik tea, the cold and wet wether, the refined culture, the amazing music, the beautiful literature. She was even eager to listen to the Queen's speeches at Christmas. Lexi couldn't picture herself in America.
She understood that her parents wanted to be safe and, more importantly, keep her away of any dangerous. Although Lexi didn't believe she would ever be safe.
"Look love, when things calm down maybe we can even come back" Tatiana told her one day.
Lexi was smarter than that, even though her parents didn't give her credit enough.
After eating a slice of cake, Lexi decided to get up. She tidied up her room and then went to the loo. She took a long bath, washed her long blond hair and even put up a little bit of make-up. It was her birthday after all.
It was very rare to Lexi nowadays to feel pretty. She had lost so much weight which made her look less as a girl and more like a ghost.
When Lexi went downstairs she saw there were flowers in the living room all signed by the Wallaces, the Dumanis and colleagues from boarding school. Seems like that year everyone remembered how much Lexi adored flowers – it put a smile on her face.
"Hey, Lex. Can you help pack the kitchenware?"
Her mother asked as soon as Lexi finished her breakfast. Tatiana always made her best to keep Lexi occupied.
"Sure".
