Fate

Chapter 13

Lexi's POV:

I was dreading going to business as I hated Mr Davies even more than he hated me. Also Louis was in my class and I hadn't seen him since the party.

Me and Charlie walked into the class late because we lost track of the time while we were playing Candy Crush at break.

"Charlotte go and sit in your usual seat" Mr Davies instructed.

"Alexandra" Mr Davies shouted which made me jump "Sit next to Louis" I could see some of the people in the class smirking as they knew all about what had happened between me and Louis.

I wanted to beg him not to make me sit there but I didn't want to look like an idiot in front of the class. I wanted to show everyone that I was the better person. I tried to walk over to my new seat but my feet wouldn't budge. It was like someone had superglued me to the ground. "Well don't just stand there move" Mr Davies said and I heard a few snickers conning from the class.

I couldn't even focus on what the teacher was saying. All I could think about was how a few weeks ago I would have loved sitting next to Louis but everything had changed.

He didn't even bother to try to talk to me which I felt happy about. He probably saw the scowl on my face when I was forced to sit next to him. I made a mental note to add to my list of reasons why I hate Mr Davies that he made me sit next to Louis.

Louis hair looked perfect his hair it was styled with his usual flicks that looked neat and messy at the same time. He smelt exactly how I remembered a mixture of cinamon and smokey wood. His lips were pursed into a straight line which meant he was concentrating hard on his work unlike me who was staring at him. I knew Louis loved business lessons so much, he was planning on setting up his own after college.

I thought he noticed me looking at him because I could tell that he lost concentration on his work. He put his pen on the desk and sighed. It rolled of the table and onto the floor. I rolled towards me so I looked away and pretended to do my work.

He hesitated for a moment then said "Um could you get my pen" I nodded and bent down to find it.

I felt anxouis  as when I was bending my skirt was riding up and Louis could probabaly see my knickers. I mentally slapped myself for not wearing tights.

I sat up quickly and gave Louis the pen. I wanted to slam it down on that table but I knew it would only attract unwanted attention. He smiled to say thankyou and our palms briefly touched when I handed him the pen.

Business finally finished and I lept out of my seat immediately.

"I felt so bad for you" Charlie said as we walked out the classroom. She spoke a bit too loud and Louis probably heard her. I didn't care if he did hear her anyway. 

"I swear Mr Daives did that on purpose" I replied.

"Yeah proabably, Louis was so staring at you like the whole lesson" Charlie said and grinned.

"So" I said pretending I didn't care even though inside my heart was beating faster.

"It means he still likes you"

"Yeah but I don't like him after all he's done"

"But you have to get back together you were so cute. I ship you so hard" I looked at Charlie like she was mental. Most of what she said made no sense to me.

"What the fuck are you going on about?" I asked annoyed and confused. I was annoyed at why she thought I should get back with Louis after all he had done and I was confused at what she meant by 'shipping' us 'hard'.

"I mean that you two are meant to be together I can see it in the way he looks at you. It's fangirl talk." Charlie explained.

"Oh you and your fangirl rubbsih" I said and Charlie frowned which made me laugh."

Louis' POV:

"How come lexi hasn't visited in a while?" My mother asked me while we were eating dinner.

"Yeah" My little sister chimed in. "I miss her can you tell her to come round tomorrow?" She gave me the cheesiest grin ever with a mouth full of spaghetti which looked disgusting.

I had forgotten to tell my family about the break up. I didn't really want to tell them anyway as they'd only ask questions.

I had the answers to the questions but they'd make me look bad.

"She's um ill" I said and coughed to give myself more time to think about what to say. "Very ill actually she's been off school for a while"

"Oh my gosh" My mother put her hand on her face. "Is she going to be alright? What's wrong with her? How long has she been ill for? Why didn't you tell me?" it took me a while to process all the questions she had just thrown at me.

"Answer me!" she demanded.

"Yeah she will be alright. She's only been off for a few weeks but she's much better now" I said spinning myself into an even bigger web of lies.

"What's wrong with her?" my little sister quietly said. She looked so worried I felt bad for scaring her, she had always looked up to Lexi. I just didn't know how to tell them she was gone from our lives.

"pneumonia"

"Why didn't you tell me?" My mum practically yelled at me.

"Iv'e been busy, sorry" she narrowed her eyes at me as if she didn't believe me. 

                            ***

"Louis your breakfast is ready" My mum called from downstairs. I blinked a few times to try and wake myself up. 

I crawled out of my bed and looked at the time which read 9:35. I hated waking up so early at weekends.

A plate of freshly made pancakes were waiting for me in my usual seat opposite Ella.

"I made this for Lexi" My little sister said, she was holding up a card which read 'get well soon lexi' made out of macaroni. The card looked awful and I felt guilty that she had wasted her time making a card for someone who wasn't even ill.

"Aw that's um" I paused to think of a nice word to describe it when I actually thought it looked shit. "Pretty" 

"Thank you" she said "Will you give it to her for me?" 

"Yes I'll give it to her on Monday" 

"That's a beautiful card Ella I'm sure Lexi will love it" My mum said on the most patronising voice I had ever heard. "I'm going to the supermarket so look after Ella" Mum said and walked out the door before I could even say anything. 

Lexi's POV:

The doorbell rang but my bed was too warm for me to move and answer it. I knew that my mum was at work so I assumed one of ny brothers would get the door.

"Answer the door Lexi" I heard Joe shout from his room. I groaned and got out of bed, put my dressing gown on and ran down the stairs.

I hated answering the door to people. I couldn't help thinking what if the person on the other side of the door was going to kill me or kidnap me. I brushed the thought out of my mind as I opened the door.

My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing right in front of me.

Sorry about the cliffhanger I haven't done one in a while. I wanted to wish you all happy new year I can't believe it's 2014 already. I hope you all had a fun night.
