fierce and forgiving:second chances

chapter 20

         Bethany's POV
The rest of the day went on smoothly and it was good, nothing important happened.
     The rest of the day seemed fast,we had dinner,prayed under the open sky and headed towards our cabins, changed into my hello kitty pyjama shorts and cute baggy blouse and layed in bed but I couldn't sleep,feeling restless I sat up and looked around the cabin,Alexia was missing,I got up to check everywhere in the cabin but she was nowhere,I headed out to look for her when I saw a figure sitting at the bottom of the stairs to the cabin,moving closer I could hear soft sobs.
      I found it hard to believe that Alexia was crying,yeah I know that she is human and all but I thought she had this bold upfront personality. I sat close to her and just stared at the stars
"It beautiful" I sorta whispered but she heard me,I have been using the world beautiful a whole lot today,what has come over me I thought
     She did not reply so I glanced over at her and she was playing with her fingers

"Why are you out here?" She asked plainly

"I couldn't sleep and when I saw you bed empty I was worried so I decided to come out and make sure you are okay" I explained

"Now you found me and your sure an fine,you can go back in" she said plainly

"Are you okay?" I asked worried

"Look,you don't have to act like you care" she said harshly
    I was taken aback by her words. Really...I don't have to act like I care,I got out of my damn bed to make sure she was okay and I don't have to act like I care?,she is the one that doesn't have to act like she is fine and strong.
     I was about to storm off but I knew she was alone and she needed me so I tried ignoring her words and the spiteful ones that might follow

"You don't have to act like the whole world is against you" I said quite calmly which was surprising for me

"You don't know shit about me" she said rather rudely

"It couldn't be as worse as mine" I replied

"Umm....okay let's see,you don't know how it feels for your brother who also happened to be your best friend die on you and have your parents sorta blame you for it and constantly trying to make you be like him" she said with fury in between sobs and my reply was silence
"Yeah,that's what I thought" she chocked out
    She probably didn't wanna tell me all she did but she had been carrying it for too long,I knew what that felt and the relieve that came with it, I felt bad for misjudging her,she wasn't the stuck up bitch I mistook her for,I couldn't say I knew how she felt because honestly I didn't, I always have my mum.

"Am sorry" I whispered

"For what?" She asked still angry

"For misjudging you" I quickly said

"People do that,they label me a goth" she said while drying her face

"Umm,you wear dark clothes and act all shadey,what do you seriously expect people to call you,a barbie??" I said sarcastically

"Eww not a barbie but definitely not a goth" she said giggling

"What did you think I was,well besides a goth" she asked

"Well,a stuck up bitch without a heart who is secretly planning on killing me and who was given the chance to by making her my partner" I said in a breathe

"Ouch and I do have a heart I just use it less" she said
    We turned to give ourselves looks and we started chuckling minutes later and it felt nice ,we were both now staring at the stars connecting them together to form different shapes and objects
"Am sorry if I acted mean to you" she said breaking the silence

"It's no worries,at least we are now friends,that's what we are right?" I said unsure

"Yess,friends is what we are" she said pulling me into a hug

"Good,can we both go to bed now,we have to wake up so we don't get extra drills" I said pulling outta the hug
    I got up to my feet and held out my hand to help her up and she took it graciously and we headed in

"One more thing,could you please wake me up when you do because you seem like the early bird" I said and she giggles before agreeing to do so,I closed my eyes drifting to sleep,feeling pleased with myself thinking of the fact that even if we aren't bffs she wouldn't wanna kill me,one less person to kill me,one more to go,sunshine get ready to meet your cloud I thought and with that I was in LA LA land
