Double Lives and a Secret

Tattoos and I love you's

Gabriella's POV

We all got int van and got comfy for the half an hour ride to get to the orphanage, all of us sitting down happily. Troy went and sat on our couch, while I went and got the strawberries and the Nutella, it was a tradition we had that once a day we did this.

We both loved it, but I wanted to ask Kaci about her tattoos, but I can't get her alone, she's always with Will. It's really cute but annoying. I'll ask her now, I'll just tell Troy to give me 10 minutes and then we'll have our strawberries and Nutella.

"I want to talk to Kaci quickly." I informed Troy and he nodded.

"K beautiful." He said and I blushed deep red, before heading over to Kaci and Will, who looked up when they saw me, I saw a tattoo on Will's hip when his shirt lifted up because he was tickling Kaci.

"Hey guys. Umm Will, do you mind if I borrow Kaci quickly?" I asked hesitantly.

"Go for it, maybe she won't hit me again for tickling her." Will said teasingly at Kaci, I chuckled amusedly, while Kaci was glaring fake daggers at him, to which he responded with a laugh.

"Come on Kace." I said and dragged her into the kitchen.

"What did you want to talk about, Elli?" She asked with a dancing smile on her face.

"Well this might be a personal question, but I saw a bit of a drawing on your left shoulder and I was wondering if you have a tattoo?" I asked very hesitantly, not knowing how she would react.

"Well, uh, I don't usually tell people, but your my sister so yeah, I do have a tattoo, 7 to be precise." Kaci told me and I smiled at her, she's opening up to me.

"Can I see them? I'll show you mine." I said excitedly.

"Sure, only Will and Laci have seen them, the boys and the girl have only seen one. But I've got 7 so sure." Kaci said cheerfully.

The first one was on her shoulder it was a black and white rose, very beautiful. The second was on her left wrist, it was an infinity sign with the word 'infinity' under it. The third was on her right bicep that was another infinity sign with a feather and the words 'life and love' through it. The fourth was on her right foot and was a flower design going up her ankle, it was beautifully made. The fifth was on the bottom of her back and it was a blue flower design, it was gorgeous, Kaci must love flowers. The sixth was on her left side across her rib cage, it was writing, it said 'Always on my mind. Forever in my heart', with little love hearts next to it. Probably about Will. The last one stopped my heart, inside of a love heart on her left hip was writing that said 'Will + Kaci Forever', I smiled at her and she nodded tearfully.

I pulled her into a hug, I felt her tears drip down my back, I spoke some soft soothing words to her and it seems to of calmed her down.

"Can I see yours?" Kaci asked while wiping the last of her tears away.

"Yeah sure." I said, not many people know this, but I have tattoos.

The first one I showed was just under my boob and it said 'Maya', it said this because it was about my other best friend who died from Leukaemia 2 years ago, mum let me get it. I miss her so much, it used to be Gabriella, Vanessa, Bethany and Maya take on the world, but now it's Gabriella, Vanessa and Bethany left. I felt tears reach my eyes, but I wanted Kaci to see my other four. The second one I had was a pink flower design up the left side of my body, I loved this one. The third one was on my bicep with words that said 'Music is my escape from all the bullshit in life', this was one of my favourite quotes. The fourth I had was on my ankle, it was about Nessa, it said 'My sister is my hero', in red, I got it just for Ness, I'm getting another one for Coby soon. The last one, my favourite one was a word with a love heart next to it, it said 'T-Bear', Troy's nickname. I looked up at Kaci again and she smiled at me, we hugged again and then parted, going back to our boys. I grabbed the strawberries and the Nutella and headed over to Troy, I sat on his lap and proceeded to feed him.

"What did you want to talk to Kaci about?" Troy asked me as he finished his 3rd strawberry.

"I showed her my tattoos, she's got some." I said with a shrug.

"Did you show her our special one?" Troy asked quietly, only him, me, Kaci and Vanessa know about this one.

"Yeah I did, she showed me the one she has with Will." I said and smiled up at him, he popped a strawberry in my mouth and I licked the Nutella of my lips. Yummy! I looked up and saw Troy watching my actions, I smirked at him and winked, he went red. I couldn't help but giggle.

"Your giggles adorable." Troy said randomly, he looked down at me and I was blushing hard. He chuckled at me, I poked my tongue out and he kissed me on the corner of my mouth, little prick!

Kaci's POV

After I showed Gabriella my tattoos and she showed me hers, I felt close with one of my sisters already, at least I've got something in common with one of them. I get the feeling that Gabriella is the chill one, but she's also the sensitive one,
I'm getting another tattoo soon, so is Will, he's getting his brothers names tattooed on his back, it's sweet.

Right now, I'm lying down with my head in Will's lap, we always sit like this, his fingers were running through my hair, I loved it like this, just him and me.

"What did Gabi want to talk about?" He asked me softly, Gabriella already let's us give her nicknames, even people she's just met.

"She saw a bit of one of my tattoos, so she asked if she could see them and she showed me hers." I explained to Will and smiled up at him, he knows how hard it is for me to show people my tattoos because most of them mean something to me.

"Did she see our two?" Will asked quietly, he doesn't like people to know about these ones, only Laci and Ryder know about these ones, due to Laci being my sister and Ryder being Will's best friend. Don't get me wrong the others are our best friends as well, we're just closer with Laci and Ryder, Laci being my sister and Ryder because we've known him longer.

"Yeah she did, she's got some sentimental ones as well. There's one about Troy, one about Ness, one about her best friend who died of cancer and one about music because she loves music." I explained to Will and he nodded, placing a soft kiss on my forehead, he sighed and I knew he was thinking about his family.

"Don't worry Will, we'll get through the his, I'm not leaving you behind, me and you pretty boy, me and you. There watching over us now, there in a better place. I won't leave you, I can't leave you. Your stuck with me pretty boy." I said to Will softly and forcefully, letting him know that I'm still here.

He smiled at me and then blurted out "I love you Kaci."

"I love you too Will." I said confused.

"No, I don't mean like a friend love, I mean like I love you more than a friend like a girlfriend, like a future wife, like future mother of my children. I love you so so so much it hurts. When I see you with other guys, I just want to rip their throats out and punch them, send them to hospital. I'm jealous of other guys. You look beautiful in absolutely
everything . Your smile lights up my day and how your brown eyes sparkle. I just love you, everything about you. I love you, be mine?" Will said to me with love dancing through his eyes, he reached up and brushed my tears away with his thumbs.

"Of course, I love you too Will, always have always will." I said and reached up to kiss him forcefully, he kissed me back with the same amount of force, we only stopped when we heard a shout.

"Finally!" Laci and Ryder shouted together and then started bickering, everyone laughed and I turned my head back to Will to kiss him again.
