Belle and Adam decided to place the Beast in the East Wing. Belle told me that I could leave, and return to Villeneuve.
"Belle, I'm sorry but, there is nothing for me there. No one talks to me because I was friends with the man who tried to kill the king! Everyone hates me there." My eyes start to water remembering Gaston's final moments.
'Do you want to be next?!'
I shut my eyes trying to push the memories, and tears away.
"I just want to help him." I look at Belle whose face shows deep concern, sadness, and understanding.
"Okay Lefou, I just didn't want you to be bothered. I understand."
Belle gives a sad smile and puts a hand on my shoulder.
"May I show you to your room?"
I nod and she leads me to another room in the East Wing, it's almost the same as the West Wing bedroom, gold, blue, and quite large. Belle left me to make myself comfortable and settle down. I sit on one of the chairs by the recently lit fireplace. The castle and the area around it became a cold, dark winter. It's extremely cold, everywhere.
'Ah, Lefou you're the best!'
I place my head in my hands and try to wipe away the pain.
'The ones who play hard to get are always the sweetest prey'
Stop! I can't take it anymore, I begin to sob into my hands.
'You are the wildest, most gorgeous thing I've ever seen'
Why? Why couldn't that have been me?!
"Lefou? Are, are you okay?" A deep voice from behind me speaks. I become startled and sharply turn around, my eyes wide. I see the beast by the door holding out his arm.
"I'm sorry Lefou I didn't mean to startle you! I just heard you crying and I just wanted to see if you were okay."
He moves closer to me and gestures towards the chair. I nod allowing him to sit down, he sits on the comfortable brown chair, he is almost too big for it. I sniff and wipe my eyes, trying to cover up all signs of my sadness.
"Why were you crying Lefou?"
Well, it was worth a try.
"It's nothing I'll be fine," I say trying so desperately to cover it up.
He gives me a look, "Lefou I understand if you don't want to talk about it, let alone to be a stranger but, I just don't want to see you hurt yourself by bottling it all up. You look like a nice, kind person. Like I said I just don't want to see you hurt." He places a clawed hand on mine on the chair's armrest, he pulls back shortly afterward. I look to the floor, "There was this man, he was amazing, wonderful, and...," I just became extremely nervous. However, why should I be nervous I only just met this Beast, he doesn't even know his own name, let alone the location of the asylum. "And he was the most gorgeous thing I have ever seen," I say, remembering his smile, his deep laugh, his walk was even perfect. The way he would stride from place to place, just made my heart melt.
"Lefou, do you...You know, Love this man?"
I nod my head once, I did just meet him but he looks like a nice person, and I wouldn't want him to run away from me. I look to the floor preparing myself for what abuse awaits me.
"That's perfectly okay Lefou, people should love who they want to love. I just wanted to make sure."
"Loved."I look up at his fiery, red eyes, his face looked sad.
"I'm so sorry Lefou." He says placing his giant hand on mine giving comfort.
"Tell me about him." I look at him and smile at him.
The day turns to night and the whole time I've been talking to this unknown beast about the man I loved, and always will love.
Gaston.
