Beauty Inside

Chapter 3.

The next day I woke up and I sat up, I saw myself on the floor and Mia on the bed. I sighed as I walked to the bathroom and I had a shower. I went out and wore a tight jeans and green top. I went out and saw Bianca on the couch. Her eyes swollen.

"Hey..." I said and she turned to me. She stood up and came to me. She started crying.

"He.... Was hurt Liz. He was hurt. He was in pain. He...... Was mad. I.... I feel so guilty and dirty and...... I do even know....." She cried. I hugged her and patted her back.

"I fucked up. Like real bad!!" She cried. And I patted her back. He pulled away.

"Go to him Elizabeth!!" She said.

"He needs you!!" She told me. I sighed.

"Come on. And we'll meet in the airport. 12. Remember!!" She said. I nodded. I ran out and I forgot....,

"Here!!" I heard Bianca yell. She threw me car keys and my purse. I went to the garage and pressed the button. And the red car honked twice. I opened it and drove it out. I rode to the Orchards, and rang the bell. The gate opened and I entered and entered the house. Lily looked at me in surprise!!

"Morning Mrs. Or....."

"He's upstairs and really hurt!!" She told me. She yawned.

"Thanks!!" I told her and ran up. I knocked on the door thrice and when he didn't reply. I walked in. He is playing video games, his eyes red and I saw three bottles of vodka and five cups of coffee. He paused his game and turned. He sighed.

"Hey...." I said and he gave me a faint smile.

"I'm single!!" He said and I felt like crying with him. But I have to be strong. Strong for him.

"James......"

"She.... She broke up.... She....." I hugged him. And he hugged me back. I patted his back.

"Don't hold it in James. Let it out!!" I told him and he started crying. After crying. I dragged him to the shower and cleared the bottles and cups of coffee. Then I brought out his shorts and t-shirts. And his sneakers. I went down and helped Lily cook breakfast. Then James came out later.

"I smell something good!!" He said and stole a toast.

"James Orchard!!" Lily called and he just smiled and pecked his mom good morning and signalled to me that he is in the gym. I nodded.

"You know...., James is a such a soft boy. And he doesn't like his feelings get played with!!" She said. I nodded.

"I'm really grateful for helping him at least get up and....." Leo came in his suit and trousers and stole a toast.

"Leonard Orchard!!" She said.

"Aka my husband!!" Leo said and kissed Lily. He saw me and squeezed my arm a little.

"Morning daughter!!" He said.

"Morning Mr. Orchard!!" I said and hugged him. Then he patted my back and stole a cup cake behind my back and literally run away.

  Jay, James younger brother, came and stole a toast too.

"Jayden!!" Lily said frustrated. I giggled.

"I love you too Mom!!" He said and hugged her. He's now taller than her. The sixteen years old munchkin. He turned to me and smirked.

"Liza!!" He said and hugged me. Wow, he's now my height and a little bit taller. But still shorter than Kelvin and James is taller than Kelvin. You still have a long way to go boy!! He pulled away and stole a cupcake then ran away.
