Twisted Cinderella Story /// L. T.

Chapter 5

couldn’t believe that my sister ate the last carrot. The part that doesn’t make sense is that they hate vegetables. They hate carrots and celery the most! I knew they were trying test my patience but this time I couldn’t keep my cool. I stormed right out of the kitchen leaving the door flying and that’s when I spotted the two devils grinning. I lunged myself ready to tackle one of them when I was be held my legs and my arms. I looked up to see Cassidy and Johnny.

“Let go of me!” I yelled

“Lacey please stop” Cassidy screamed

“NO! THEY STOLE MY LAST CARROT!!!” I screamed.

“Hey you boys, a little help here” Johnny told the boys

“See mom I told you lacey was a freak, look at her!” Jamie said.

“Oh yea! At least I don’t have freakishly bloody face!” I yelled.

“I don’t” Jamie said casually.

“You’re about to now!” I yelled. I was ready to grab when I was pulled really hard and landed on the couch.

“You to boys sit on her so she won’t get up!” Cassidy yelled

The boys were about to sit when I dodged them. I stood right in front of Jamie and Jennifer with my face steaming.

“Lacey your face is really red, I think you should sit and relax so you can bring back its color” Cassidy told me.

“Actually, let me help” said Jennifer. She grabbed the pie from the table and threw it right at my face.

“No Jennifer now she is too white she needs something extra” said Jamie. She took her smoothie and duped it all over me. I couldn’t believe this was happening. I heard some of the boys laugh. I was so embarrassed; I ran straight up to my room and clean up. I literally hate my life!

*Louis POV*

I was really mad at lacey’s sisters, I couldn’t believe they would do that to her. I saw the boys laughing except for Niall. He was actually admiring how yummy Lacey looked. He was going to go lick her face because of how delicious she looked with the pie on her face.

I saw Cassidy and Johnny have a very disappointed look on their faces. I couldn’t stop thinking of lacey I decided to check up on her. I asked Cassidy where Lacey would be and she led me upstairs until we reached a door that had the name Lacey written on it. She had decorated her door with her name in bold colorful letters. Her name was written a bunch of times but with different fonts. I thought it was really creative and unique. I thanked Cassidy and she went back downstairs.

 I was about to knock but then I realized maybe she didn’t want to talk to anybody. I decided to knock anyways. She didn’t answer. I knocked again and she still didn’t answer. I didn’t even hear anything from her room. I was debating with myself if I should go in or not. I finally agreed on going inside. I opened the door lightly and I didn’t find her on her bed or anything. Then I saw the balcony door open. I walked closer to her balcony and saw her sitting with her legs crossed on the small couch. Her beautiful hair was being blown by the small wind. A smile crept onto my face until I saw a stream of tear roll down her cheek. I felt really sorry for her. I knocked on the balcony door and she snapped her head up. When she saw me she rolled her eyes. Why would she do that? Did she think I was the one laughing at her? I then found myself walking towards her and then I sat down near her.

 She didn’t even look or talk to me. We sat in silence for a while. I felt the wind bow harder and getting colder. It was a good thing I had a light sweater. Though not so much luck for Lacey. She was wearing mini shorts and a tight tank top. I saw her goose bumps appear on her body but she didn’t react to it. I spoke to soon. I saw her shiver and she hugged her arms. I took off my sweater and put it on her. She then looked up at me and I saw her beautiful blue eyes.

“No thanks.” She said handing me my jacket. “I’m fine”

“No you’re not” I told her as I wiped a tear from her cheek.

“Why are you guys here anyway?” she asked but she still wouldn’t look at me.

“Well” I started “your mom –“I was then cut off by her.

“She is not my mom!” she snapped. “She is my step mother and so are my step sisters”

“Oh ok well anyways she is having us live here for a couple of months, or like maybe a year.” I said she then look at me with a confused look.

“Wait why are you staying here, don’t you guys have hotels stay at?” she asked.

“Well um Simon knows your step mother really well and she offered for us to stay here and she is paying for most of our stuff” I said then lacey at me and had a sad look on her face and I could tell there was hurt in her eyes. She then got up and left to her room. I followed her and she pointed to her door.

“You want me to leave?” I asked with disappointment. I could tell she didn’t want me to leave but something in her was making her.

“No I’m just pointed at the door for fun” she said in sarcasm. I was about to walk out then I stopped at the door.

“Why do you hate me so much?” I asked.

“I never said I hate you” she replied.

“Why does it seem like you hate me then?” I asked

“Can you just drop please!” she whined.

“Ok goodnight love” I said, she then closed the door on me.
