~Chapter 10~

Lexi’s POV.

I felt my hand being caressed, and smiled, knowing it was Louis. The second I moved, I felt two hands grip mine tightly, and a voice spoke. “Lexi? Lexi, you awake?”

I frowned slightly when I realised which Louis it was. Immediately, my eyes flew open and I sat upright. The room spun before my eyes, and I put a hand to my head. “Louis, what- ahhh.” I groaned, rubbing my right temple. Louis moved his hand to brush a stray strand of hair from my face. “Hey Lexi. You ok?” He asked softly.

I instantly moved my head away from his touch, and pulled my hands out of his grasp. “What the hell Louis?” I asked, blinking a few times to try and ease the dizziness. Louis pulled a face and crossed his arms. “I think that’s my question to ask.” He said sternly, and pulled my arms gently towards him, wrists up. I frowned, as he looked them up and down, before looking questioningly at me. “I didn’t do those, you dimwit.” I snapped, pulling them back out of his grasp. He raised his eyebrows. “Oh? Then who did?”

That caught me off guard. I thought quickly, looking for any way of getting out of the situation. “Oh, erm- actually, I did…” I trailed off, mentally cursing myself. Louis’ expression changed to sadness, and he slowly stood up off the bed. “Lexi, look- I know you don’t really like me very much, and to be honest, I’m pretty scared of you,” He admitted, and my mouth curled at the corner in a satisfied smirk. This would be a bit of fun, and a distraction from my fainting spell. It looked like I’d crying myself unconscious. Odd.

I stood up, catching him by surprise, and tapped him on the chest.

“Well, that’s the best news I’ve heard in a long time.” I smiled sarcastically, and watched in satisfaction as he cowered backwards and let me grab his school tie and pull him out of the room and down the stairs. “Oh, and tell your big brother, thanks for watching out for me, but I’m onto your little game now, bitch.” I spat the last bit out as I shoved him out the front door and shut it in his face.

“Brother? Lexi, I don’t have a brother!” He yelled through the closed door. I snorted at that, yeah right, so he was just a time travelling prick-

Oh. My. God.

Louis’ POV.

“Brother? Lexi, I don’t have a brother!” I yelled through the shut door, and swear to god I heard her snort on the other side of the door. Great, you’re very welcome for me saving your life. I kicked the door angrily, only to end up in extreme pain. Hopping from foot to foot, I swore angrily and turned away and hobbled to the pavement, where I ran into-

“Gemma!” I said, surprise and confusion ringing in my voice. She stood there, with her arms crossed, a furious expression on her face. Uh oh.

“What’s this?” She asked, her voice strung with anger. I shrugged. “Lexi’s door was open and I could hear crying from within, and went up and found her knocked out next to her bed, so I stayed with her until she woke up and then-”

I was interrupted by a sharp slap that knocked me backwards.

“Gemma!” I gasped, holding my wounded cheek as it throbbed. Her face was beyond funny- if I wasn’t scared she’d kill me, I would have laughed.

“HOW LONG DID YOU THINK YOU COULD CHEAT ON ME WITH MY BEST FRIEND YOU MAN WHORE?” She yelled, beside herself. “WELL GUESS WHAT, YOU LITTLE FUCKER. WE’RE THROUGH!” She screamed, kicking out and catching me unaware in the groin.

I groaned in pain, as white dots appeared in my vision. Falling forwards onto my knees, I curled up in a foetal position as I willed the pain to go away.

It took a while, but I managed to stand up and get myself back home, where I got a bag of peas out the freezer and put them against the major sore spot. Mum walked in then, and winced when she saw where I was holding the bag.

“Well, I’m definitely not cooking the girls peas for dinner.” She joked, before sitting down at the island counter where I’d sat myself. “Did Gemma break up with you?” She asked, her eyes looking for any emotional pain in mine. I nodded, but grinned weakly. “Yeah, but I was literally about to end the relationship myself. She thought I was cheating on her with Lexi.” I said, laughing a little at the absurdity of that.  Psch, I would never go out with Lexi… And even if I wanted to, she would have none of it.

Mum’s eyes narrowed at me. “You didn’t cheat though, right?”

I gagged on air. “Mum, I don’t even like Lexi, and I’m 111% sure shesees me as a mortal enemy.” I said, shaking my head slightly. Mum sighed, and turned away to sort out the dishes that had piled up on the sink. “It’s a shame, really. I remember when you guys first ever met, you were practically head over heals in child love with each other.”

I hummed in agreement, before I registered what she’d said.

“Child love? Mum, I’d never met her until year 8, when she went to Hayfield. She moved to Halls Cross in year 9, thank fuck. She was the one who tormented me back then too. And she’s continuing it now.” I sighed, and winced as I moved my sore spot a little too roughly. Mum’s face flashed annoyance when I swore, but didn’t tell me off for it. “Yes, I know, I remember thinking how strange it was. But you two met before, don’t you remember? She was your childhood kiss, actually. It was very sweet.” She smiled, clearly lost in memory, as I choked on this piece of information.

“I kissed her?” I asked incredulously. Mum laughed and nodded. “Yes, it was adorable. You two were playing in the sandpit at the crèche and she asked you to pass her the spade, and when you did you leaned in and kissed her. Very cute.” Her smile grew impossibly wider.

I shook my head in annoyance, groaning out loud. “So that’s probably why she hates me.” I muttered. Mum however, heard me with her sharp ears. “Not at all, she’s probably falling hard for you, but doesn’t want to admit it for some reason. Lots of hate relationships turn into love.” She mused, just as the twins came whizzing in from playing outside. I sighed, and gave up on the confusing subject of Lexi, and focused instead on playing with a piece of wax string that was on the counter for some strange reason.

If that really was the reason Lexi hated me, maybe I could have a chance with her.

Whoa Louis! WHAT?
