A Forgotten Past

chapter 10: flashback

LEXI POV.

I stared at Zayn. My breathe was rapid. What he's saying could it be true? I'm I having this much effect on someone?

"Lexi?!" I heard Bria's voice. I looked behind the tall man, and Bria was standing there with fear on her face.

"Bria what's wrong?" I asked.

"You're parents are coming home early they will at home in 30 minutes! They are pissed that you are not answering your phone. We have to go now!" Bria said.

I pulled out my phone, and I saw that my parents had called 20 times, 15 from my mom and 5 from my dad. I put my phone back into my pocket, and looked up at Zayn.

"I'm sorry I have to go, I'll text you later okay?" I said, running towards Bria's car.

Sandra quickly ran out the club and followed right behind us. She was laughing, "Oh god how much I miss this!"

We all hopped into the car, and Bria drove off.

"Lexi open the glovebox and get the makeup wipes and hand them to me." Sandra said.

"Why?" I questioned.

"Well we want your parents to think that we were at home and not partying. We need to wipe off the makeup." Bria said.

"Okay." I reached for the glovebox and pulled out a big package of makeup wipes. I pull one out and handed it to Sandra.

I quickly started wiping off my make-up, "Is there anything I should know about my parents?" I asked.

"Other than that they are the devil dressed up as the nicest people you'll ever meet," Bria said, "Nope not a thing."

I heard Sandra laugh in the back, "Hey I like that. That's a good one Bria."

"When we get there we have to quickly run to our bedrooms and dress in our pjs, once all dressed meet in the living room, and act like we were watching Netflix." Bria said as she was on our street.

"Got it." I nodded.

Just as soon as we drove on our drive way, I quickly took off my seatbelt. My blood was rushing. When Bria parked we all jumped out of the car and ran inside the house like our life depended on it. Through the front door, up the stairs and into each others bedroom.

I quickly dressed into my black shorts and big red long sleeve shirt. I put my hair into a bun. I checked one last time in the mirror making sure that I took off all my makeup, which I did.

I ran down stairs, into the living room and saw that Sandra was already dressed in black leggings and a Mexico soccer jersey. Sandra quickly putting snacks on the coffee table and getting Netflix started and putting on 'Supernatural.'

Just as I sat down, Bria came running down the stairs and sat down in the middle of us.

The door swang opened, "We're back!"

I heard a women yell, then she appeared at the living room door,

"Lexi!" She yelled again and ran towards me.

I got up and hugged her, "Hey, mom."

Behind her was a man, and I was guessing that was my dad. I pulled away from my mom. I hugged my dad quickly.

"Hey dad." I said.

"Did you girls behave?" My mom asked.

"Don't we always behave Mrs. M." Sandra smiled and batted her eyes.

My mom squint her eyes. You could tell she hated sandra. The way she always judged her, the way she flared her nose. I don't see why she hate sandra, she's great.

"We were good." Bria smiled.

Then my mom's face brighten up once Bria spoke.

"That great to hear." My mom said walking towards Bria a hug. My mom turned to me, "Lexi why didn't you answer your phone?!? I was worried sick!"

"Sorry mom my phone was upstairs, charging." I lied.

"Next time you don't answer my phone calls I'm going to take away your phone." My mom said.

"Well we're heading off to bed. That plane ride made my tired." My dad said, he kissed my forehead and went upstairs.

"Good night sweethearts." My mom said, following my dad.

Then a huge relife what off my shoulders.

"Just like the good old days." Sandra said as she fell backward to on the couch.

I giggle and sat next to Sandra, while Bria on the other side. We watched Supernatural.

My phone vibrated. I just received a text message.

My heart dropped, it's from Zayn.

From Zayn:

Hey beautiful.

My heart fluttered. I wanted to scream to the top of my lungs. He called me beautiful.

To Zayn:

Hey Zayn.☺️

From Zayn:

I was wondering if you want to go do something with me this weekend?

To Zayn:

What are we going to do?

From Zayn:

That for me to know and you to find out. 😉

I couldn't help my smile. Sandra started notice my sudden happiness.

"Why are you so happy?" Sandra asked.

"Because she's texting Zayn." Bria said.

I was glad it was darker because they couldn't see me blushing.

"Ooohh, Lexi!" Sandra said, nudged me.

"Ooohh Lexi!" Sandra said yelling, running towards me with a book in her hand, "I found it, After!"

"I thought you hated it?" I asked, laugh.

"This books fucks me up, but that doesn't stop me from buying it!" Sandra said.

I rolled my eyes, "Come on I need to find the 5th Wave."

"Okay." Sandra said.

We walked around the teen section. It took a while until I found it. The last one.

I quickly reached for it, but my hand met another. A tan, manly, full of tattoos. I looked up and saw the most beautiful man ever.

"Oh I'm sorry." He spoke.

I couldn't speak. It was hard trying to let out words.

"Were you going to get the 5th Wave?" He asked.

I nodded slowly.

He let out a small chuckle, "How about you take it, and when you're done you can let me borrow it?"

"Um.. sure." I said. I felt like my face was on fire.

He looked down, and rubbed the back of his neck. "To tell you the truth. I don't like reading, I saw you walk in here. I thought you were so pretty."
