Lost - Leo x oc

Piper: Heartbreak sucks

I had been baking cookies for the past hour. Estelle was having a nap and Lucy was off doing who knows what.

Suddenly, I heard a phone ringing. I immediately knew it wasn't mine because of the ringtone. I set mine to 'One Kiss'(Don't Judge!) and this one was in Korean. My best guess was it was Estelle's so I picked up the call. Immediately I see two girls on the other screen. One is a Latino girl who looks like what a female Leo would look like. The other girl looks almost identical to Rachel except she has blond hair instead of red.

"Hello, this is Piper McLean. Who is this?" I ask. "I'm Mira and this is Cleo. We're friends of Estelle," the Latina girl, Mira, says. 

"Okay well, Estelle's asleep right now so maybe you can call back later," I reply about to end the call when Cleo quickly interjects.

"I'm sorry but we need Estelle right now," she says quickly. "We need her to send us some money so we can pay for our new clothes Just wake her up she'll understand." "Let me get something clear," I say, like the calm before a storm. "You want Estelle to pay for your own clothes when she isn't even buying anything?" 

"Oh hon, don't say it like that. You make it sound like we're usin'-" "That's exactly what it sounds like." I say cutting Cleo off. "I'm going to end this call and you won't call this number back. Estelle isn't your personal bank." I say, then end the call before either of them can respond.

I switched off the phone and turned to see Estelle standing at the doorway with a troubled expression gracing her features. "How much of that did you hear?" I ask realizing that it was a video call so if she was standing close enough she would have been able to hear what Mira and Cleo were saying.

"Everything," she answers before exploding."How could you do that Pipes? Those two were my only friends and now they might not want to be my friends anymore." She says, her voice breaking near the end.

"'Stelle if they're your friends for your money then they don't deserve to be your friends," I say patiently. "You don't understand!" She exclaims. I open my arms and she runs into them.

"Then explain it to me," I say, running my hands through her long hair. Estelle takes a deep breath and then starts."You have the rest of the seven who care for you. I'm not that lucky. No one wants to hang out with me because of the rumors that I'm mental." At this, my heart breaks a little more for Estelle. I'd heard the rumors but hadn't even stopped to think about how Estelle was affected by them."Mira and Cleo were the only people who hung out with me and now I'm not sure they'll even talk to me again."At this point, she's full-on sobbing. I hug her closer to me and try to comfort her.

"It'll be okay," I say. "The rest of the seven will love you almost as much as I do." "You sure?" She asks already starting to relax. "I'm sure," I confirm and then guide her to the couch. We stay enveloped in a peaceful silence until an image of a young Latino boy crosses my mind.

"Was it Derek?" I ask, already guessing the answer. "What?" Estelle asks, looking up at me. For the first time, I notice our height difference. I'm about 5'9 while Estelle is 5'4 making her shorter than even Hazel. 

"Derek was the one who told the press about your mom and started the rumors, wasn't he?" I ask, not expecting an answer. Estelle, not being able to speak only nods the bursts into another round of tears. When she finally begins to calm down, she starts to explain.

"I was ten he was twelve. I was young and absolutely in love with him. I told him about my mom because I thought he loved me back. I told him a lot of things I shouldn't have. He put it on social media the next day and soon the secret was out. He thought we could still be friends after that happened so he was shocked when I started ignoring him." "After that, he started the rumors that you were mental." I finished for her. Estelle just nods and then squeezes me hard. 

"Don't worry. You'll make friends at camp." I reassure her."And if anyone has any mean thing to say I will stab them with Katoptris." Estelle laughs and gives me another hug. "Thank you," she whispers. "No problem. Do you want to help me bake some cookies?" I ask. Estelle nods and follows me into the kitchen. "Why are they blue?" She asks. "A friend of mine, he's coming tomorrow, likes to eat blue food. He's obsessed with it." I answer."Do you think we could make purple cookies?" She asks already going back to her regular self. "Sure," I say and we spend the rest of the afternoon baking.

The rest of the day goes by smoothly and it is only when I lay down on my bed that I realize that we might have a problem. Derek, the guy who broke Estelle's heart, looks exactly like Leo.

My Poor Estelle. My heart broke writing this. I just want to give her a huge hug even though she is older than me. She deserves so much better but more sad things will come for her. I hope this gives a little more backstory on Estelle. And if you couldn't tell I plan to have Estelle and Leo together. Also, what do you think happened to Calypso?
