Our week in Paris.

The stairs.

 ~Lexi's P.O.V~

        Angel, Blake, and I walked side by side, down ginormous hallways, studying each piece of artwork and artifacts carefully. Well at least I was. Angel and Blake had been talking and flirting with each other the whole time practically. I was glad to see her finally taking fancy to a boy again. She needed to get back out there. I wish I could take my own advice sometimes, I had only been in two relationships before, in middle school. Maybe there would be a chance for me to meet someone on this trip..

        "Lex, did you hear us?" Blake interrupted my thoughts. He called me by the nickname Angel used for me. I turned and looked at them, I didn't notice I was staring at a painting and letting my thoughts over-run again. I cocked my head to the side, waiting for them to go into further detail about what I had missed.

        "Look at this picture." Angel waved her hand at me, signaling for me to come closer. I walked over to the painting. It was a lovely picture. It was two friends, sitting in front of the Eiffel Tower together. Two girls. One with blonde hair, the other with brown. It looked like Angel and I. I smiled a cheeky grin and turned towards my two friends.

        "How peculiar." They laughed at my sarcastic remark and we walked back down the hall with the rest of the class.

        The rest of the day went by too fast. The museum was a lot of fun. Lexi, Blake, and I even got to go into a photo booth together, and halfway through the pictures, Lexi said she wanted out. I knew she really didn't, she just wanted Blake and I to get some pictures alone together. I nearly turned tomato red when he pulled me close at the last picture. I wouldn't forget today. As soon as we got back to the hotel I was struggling to keep my eyes open. Walking up the stairs became too much to handle, and I don't even remember how I got into bed. I just remember nestling into the golden silk sheets and closing my eyes. 

        I woke up to Lexi shaking my shoulder. I sleepily opened my eyes and scowled at her.

        "Too... Early.." I mumbled. She must have just woken up too because her hair was a mess whilst she still had her pajamas on. I laughed at how innocent she looked.

        "Do you not know how bloody late we are?" She grabbed my chin and turned my head to the clock. It was 7:00. "We have to be downstairs in ten minutes." I felt my eyes grow big before I nearly jumped out of bed, and ran to my shower. 

        ~Lexi's P.O.V~ 

        I hurried and got dressed after a hot shower. I had forgotten to call my mum! Oh bloody hell! I flipped out my cell phone and dialed up her number whilst I attempted to dress myself with one hand. 

        "Hello?" I heard my mum speak through the phone. The familiar accent and tone of her voice comforted me. 

        "Mum? It's Lexi." I slid on my clothes and hurried to brush my curly hair whilst informing mum on everything that happened so far. polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=73548976  . 

        "Mookie, you sound like your in a rush. Call me back when you can talk, okay?" She always understood. I smiled into the phone and bid her a goodbye.

        "Love you." She echoed the words back to me and I hung up the phone. I walked into the main part of our room and found Angel, stirring her cup of tea, like usual. She was fully dressed, and looked lovely. polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=73550198 . I smiled at her, and motioned for her to get her bag so we could leave. We walked out the door, making sure to lock everything up. As we turned to walk down the stairs, I heard someone laugh and I knew who it was. I knew who she was. My jaw tightened and I looked at Angel.

        ~Angel's P.O.V~

        The look on Lexi's face told me she knew who it was too. Laura. The laughter was musical, coming from the stairs. I heard someone else's voice too. A guys? It had to be, much too deep to be a woman. Lexi and I tiptoed to the edge of the stairs. I craned my neck to get a look of what she was doing. Her back was facing us, and I couldn't make out who was being pinned against the wall from her.

        "No.. Stop." I heard the boy's voice, and I could swear I recognized it. I heard her leave a kiss on whoever the mystery guy was. How promiscuous. She was a skank. I dirty one at that. It was at the moment that I saw him. Right when she threw her head back, laughing. The boy with the cute green eyes and to die for smile.
