Those Three Words - (Beau Brooks / Luke Brooks Fanfiction)

Chapter Sixteen - An old 'friend'

It was December, the month of Christmas, these days back with my baby and my friends were just going so quick, we were having so much fun together, me and Beau were maybe having a bit more fun. This meant one thing, I had to get the perfect presents.

I almost bought Daniel a little gremlin toy I found in Toys 'R' Us, but I didn't want to give him a gift that may insult him on Jesus' birthday.

I was thinking about buying Lily, Sally and Jenn matching bracelets, also one for myself. Yes, it was corny and cheesy, but it was to represent our friendship for over the years. So I bought them one each, a heart shaped metal plate, with their name engraved, with a mini flower connected to the flick from the last letter of their name. They looked perfect.

After I ordered all of them, they took a week, so in that time I had to think about Beau's present. Beau's had to be special, he was my boyfriend after all.

I bought him a huge card saying on the front 'To my gorgeous and loving Boyfriend...' It continued inside with a never ending poem, he probably didnt read all of that, probably just my writing.

As soon as I left the card shop, I walked past the Rolex shop. Now I know what your probably all thinking, Rolex's are frickin' expensive! How could Bella afford a Rolex? But a few months before, I started saving my spare change and every pay day I would lock up my earnings so I couldn't spend it.

So yes, I had enough in my bank to buy one. But one in particular. A silver, huge, round, expensive-looking, Rolex. That one caught my eye. It was gorgeous. In a way, it matched his eyes, don't even ask me why, it just did. I used most of my savings on Beau's present, which left me with only $50 to buy the rest of the boys presents. Crap.

I left the rest until later on, and went home. As soon as I got in, my phone buzzed.

• Hey baby, meet me? I love you •

So, so cute.

• Sure hunnie, where? I love you too •

Quick reply,

• I will meet you at your corner, it's getting dark so I don't want you to be walking alone :) •

Oh my god, my boy was perfect.

• Your perfect, 10 minutes? I love you so much! •

• Okay, I love you more xo •

I threw my phone on the sofa, and jogged upstairs, quickly slipping my clothes off. Whilst changing into a comfy pair of sweatpants and a baggy 'Chicago Bulls' jersey and cap (I went for the American 'I don't care how I look' look), I heard my phone ringing downstairs.

I sprinted down the marble, curly steps just to reach the phone on time. I reached the last stair, when my foot crippled off it, making my ankle make a horrific crack.

"OW! CRAP!" I screamed in agony, rolling on the floor, holding my ankle, crying. By then my phone had stopped ringing.

I begun crawling to the sofa. As I was, I felt an immense stabbing pain around the snapped bone. It took me a minute or two to regain my strength to the sofa.

Mid-typing Beau's number, my phone started to ring. 'Justin Bieber - Be Alright'. Whenever my phone rung, I felt reassured in life generally because of that song. It was a truly beautiful, reassuring song.

"Beau! Beau, I need you to come round quick!" I didnt even say 'hello' or give him chance to say it to me. I was in excruciating pain, I needed a doctor.

"Baby? What the hell! Is everything okay?" He was worried. I could tell by the tone of his voice.

"Just please hurry, I slipped and my ankle feels badly broken.. Please call an ambulance, and come round. I need you baby," I tried not to have worry in my voice, because I didn't want Beau to feel like he was useless. I just needed to stay calm whilst on the phone. As soon as he was off the phone, I could scream as loud as I wanted.
