BELOVED [h.s.]

Chapter 71. Edited.

"I am a tall ballerina!" She screamed and laughed.

She was wearing a pink tutu, pink headband and everything covering her body was pink. Except for her nails, those were dark green.

"Do you like giraffes?" I asked her.

"Of course!" She shouted. "Do you own one?"

"Maybe..." I laughed and walked into the house.

She ran behind me and hugged my leg meanwhile I said hi to Lou and her twin, Sam and Tom.

"Lux, don't do that." Lou apologised.

"It's okay..." I kneeled and gave her the gift.

She ripped the bag and found the gloves; she put them on and jumped screaming.

"I am a giraffe now, mummy!"

Everyone laughed And said hi to Harry, who was behind me with Gemma.

I said hi to her and she hugged me.

"Thanks for the present guys," Lou said and then walked to the kitchen.

"So how was the wedding?" Gemma asked us.

I didn't know what to say about it, it felt like a long ago but it was just a week ago. Danny and Julie are spending their honeymoon in Australia and I'm still in shock, when did they earn all that money?

Lauren found my number and she has messaged me lately but I couldn't answer to her, I had no credit and now, I don't have a job so I can't pay my phone yet.

She has told me, my dad wants me to have dinner in his house but I'm not sure about this... Kate hates me and I don't love her.

If my father wants to get closer to me it must be away from his wife.

My mom took everything so good, she is too in love with Joe so she doesn't mind about anyone or anything else and I'm glad about it, now that I know the truth maybe she will change and will stop overreacting for everything I do and, trying to force me to be perfect.

"It was nice," Harry replied. "Everything was nice,"

I just nodded.

Gemma of course understood not everything was nice but preferred to stay quiet, she is so prudent.

"I love your hair colour," I said.

Blue, purple, blonde and now... she is pink. Every color fits with her tanned skin.

"Thank you! I love what you did with your ends too," she smiled.

I just had lights, almost yellow the endings.

"Thanks."

"Are you coming to Bristol with us tomorrow?" Tom asked me.

Is this the first time he talks to me?

When Sam and Lou began serving the food my dizziness was back, the tea I drank was going to be thrown on the perfect red carpet.

"I am sorry," I stood up and ran to the bathroom.

And the tea, was out.

Maybe coming was a great idea but eating was not. I was still sleepy, this jet-lag was so stressful.

I cleaned my face and washed my mouth with toothpaste I found there, then a bubblegum and when I felt minty my mouth I opened the door and walked out.

I sat on the chair I was before and Harry put his hand on mine.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, just jetlag," I said.

I tried my best to eat but not forcing myself, I was feeling the way I felt when we arrived from LA for vacations when I was little.
