It made me so so so happy that someone actually reads this.
Also it would make my day if you would comment and vote.
Okay I'll stop being pain in the ass and let you read the chapter.Love you all 🙂 xxAs a kid Lara often heard the expression 'After every storm comes a rainbow.
And not all storms last forewer.' She was young back then so she always wondered what that means.
And now she came to her first storm.
The storm started several years ago and the rain is still pouring like it feels the need to let all of her tears fall down on Lara and soak her to skin.
The wind still blowing like all of the anger inside of him can't be contained anymore.
So now everything remainded the same.
Only the question changed.
How long does it last?
When does the storm end?
Or better yet does it ever end?Maybe some people just don't have luck, she thinks to herself.
Maybe some are destined to walk around wet and ashamed.
Maybe some shine all the time and bring light to people's lives.
Some people maybe.
But not Lara.
At least that is what she tells to herself.She feels soaked.
Wet.
Ashamed.
Guilty.
Sad.
Empty.
Tired.
Tired of trying and tired of failing.
She failed so many times in life, disapoined so many people she knows.
Cried so many tears she lost count.
And she was tired of it.
Tired of feeling sad.
Tired of fighting.
Tired of guilt and fear.
She was tired of being tired.Going to school was the last thing Lara wanted to do right now.
She just didn't feel like it.
The feelings she felt yesterday still lingered inside of her.
The guilt she felt cause she left Ashton on his own.
The fear that he might do something neither of them want.
The pain because Ashton wasn't near her.
He wasn't with her.
When they fought she felt empty.
When they faught it left a bitter taste inside of her.
And she didn't like that.
Not a single bit.But having no choice she got up from bed and went to get dressed and make herself look presentable to other people.
She did her morning routine and got her outfit for the day.
Since she wasn't in the mood because of several reasons, one being Ashton and second being her monthly gift from Mother Nature, also known as period, she decided to go with simple black skinny jeans and a red hoodie with black combat boots.
For hair she went ponytail and for make up she went with mascara and lip gloss.
She put on her choker and wristbands and went downstairs.She already packed her books for the day yesterday so she picked up her bag and went straight to school.
She went earlier than usual and didn't even talked to her parents but she honestly didn't care.
She just needed to think.
Even though it didn't seem like a good idea she still wanted to do it.
And she is gonna do it.--------------------------------------------------------Once she came to the school ground she went straight to the one place she was able to found her peace in.
The greenhouse.
She felt as if there was some special aoura there that made her calm down.
She didn't know if it was the air, the colors, the quiet, the birds that ocasionally stop by on the windows or the view itself.
But whatever it was it made her calmer, more relaxed.
It made her happy.Once she came to the greenhouse doors she stood in front and went to take her sketchbook that she always carried around with her.
Another thing that calmed Lara down was drawing.
Inside her sketchbook were all sorts of drawing she drew when shs feelt lonely, sad or even happy.
Lara never drew because she was bored or something like that, no.
She always drew for a reason.
Every single drawing she had in her sketchbook was drawn for a reason.
A reson only she knew about.Once she found her sketchbook, she walked inside the greenhouse.
Once she was incide, she went to her usual sitting place that was in the corner of the greenhouse.
She found the spot the most beautiful one in the place.
She found it hidden and really nice to think at, as if it was created especially for that.
So she choose it.She sat down and started drawing.
She saw a little bird on the window that sat there peacefully.
Lara fpind it beautiful, as if that one, small, innoent bird held all beauty in the world and brought it here to Lara.
So she choose to draw it.
She opened her sketchbook, took her pencil and started drawing."
Don't tell me you found the exact same chilling spot as me?
Or are your stalking skills on point today?"
A voice interrupted her in the middle of her drawing.
She jumped a little and looked up to a figure she didn't want to see.
Or the one she was craving to see.
She didn't know herself.
"Um..I-I'm...I just...always..um.."
The words couldn't find their way out of Lara's mouth.
He just laughed at her cuteness.
Somehow after all that happened he found her so adorable and innocent.
He couldn't stay mad at her.
It was one of his weaknesses.
But he loved it.
He truly did."
But since this spot is taken I'll find another one and let you do your thing."
He turned around and went to leave but all he wanted to do was hug her real tight.
"Ashton wait."
He heard Lara say and he instantly smiled.
Luckily he was turned away from her so his back were facing her so she couldn't see him.
Once he tured around too look at her his smile faded, well mostly, cause he wanted to tease her.
He loved teasing her."
Yes?"
He said once he turned around.
Lara seemed hesitant for a moment before she spoke again.
"I'm sorry Ashton.
For letting you leave last night.
For making you feel bad.
I really am.
Please don't be mad at me."
She said while looking at the floor.
Ashton just wanted to hug her there and then but he decided to go with the other way.
He knew what he wanted.
And he was gonna get it."
No need to apologise.
It is a part of the past now.
Among many other memories we had.
It's okay I completely understand Lara.
I am disturbing you so I will stop doing it from now on."
Ashton said doing his best to keep a straight face even tho he didn't have much trouble with it cause he was hell of an actor when it came to it.Lara's face expression was unberable.
She was so sad, so broken by his words but he had to stay strong and show her that you do not mess with him.
He had to show her he wasn't a softie.
Well he actually was when it came to her.
She was his weakness.
The one weakness he truly loved."
I guess I'll be on my way then."
Ashton said after he saw Lara didn't plan on saying another thing.
He turned around and walked to the greenhouse door.
Just as he was about to open them and leave a voice stopped him from doing it.
"Wait!
Ashton please don't go.
I'm really sorry for last night, you have no idea how much.
I truly am.
And if there's anything I can do to make this better then just name it.
I'm sorry.
I really am."
Lara said walking over to Ashton.
He turned around to look at her, his poker face remaining straight.
But that was soon replaced by a very missed smirk coming back.
As soon as she saw that, Lara knew she was in trouble.
She knew she is gonna regret the offer she made.
"Well if you really wanna make it up to me I guess there is one little thing you can do for me."
Ashton said looking Lara dead in the eye his smirk never leaving his face.
Lara gulped knowing this won't end well.
"What do you need?"
She asked her voice tone just a little above whisper.
Ashton leaned in so that his lips were brushing against Lara's ear.
Then he spoke.
The three words that he said made Lara's body froze and her mind wonder all over the place.
She doesn't know wheather it is because of the words that had been said, because Ashton said them or because of the way he said them.
But she honestly didn't care.
She loved the soind of those three little words."
I need you."
She needed him too.
But she couldn't do that to Luke.
He was just too sweet.
Too kind to suffer like that.
But then again Ashton was just so irrsistible.
So challenging and fiesty.
So attractive.
And Lara simply couldn't deny it.
No matter how much she wanted to she just couldn't.
Ashton then started biting her ear very slowly and seducivly.
Lara had to put all of her straight too keep her moans inside.
Once Ashton licked a tip of her ear she just couldn't resist but letting a small moan escape her lips.
"You like that princess?
Cause I can give you much much more."
Ashton said quietly and Lara could feel his smirk.
Ashton kept kissing her on her neck and all over her face avoiding her lips.
Once ha came to the corner of her lips he moved away.
"You do have a boyfriend, I know that.
You have no idea how much I want to kiss you but I am not that much of an asshole."
He then paused and looked at her for a minute before saying.
"Actually, now that I think about it.
Yes I am."
He said and started walking over to Lara with a smirk.
She backed away until her back hit the wall."
Come one now princess.
Don't run.
I know how much you crave for me.
I can see it.
I can feel it."
He said once he leaned it so their faces were now only inches apart from one another.
"A-Ashton I-I have a bo-boyfriend."
Lara sttudered.
"Do I look like I care?"
He asked.
"You said you will do anything to make it up to me.
Well this is my price.
Kiss me Lara.
I want you to kiss me."
He said looking at her dead in the eye."
Fuck it."
Lara said after a minute of scilence and then kissed him with all the passion she had in herself.
The kiss was passionate, yet rough and hungry.
Lusty, yet deep.
The kiss was all they both wanted.
The feeling of eachother's presence made them complete, made them safe.
Made them happy.
But Ashton decided to take it a little further.
He moved from Lara's lips to her neck and he started sucking her skin making sure to leave a mark not giving a damn about the concequinces he might cause.
Lara's moans could be heard but she had to keep them quiet cause students will come in any second now, if they are not herr already.Lara tugged on Ashton's hair and it was now his turn to moan.
Then he went back to her lips loving the feeling of her lips on his.
Their make out session went on for about another ten minutes or so until Ashton pulled away for her, both teenagers breathless.
Ashton then moved away from Lara and looked at the little mark he left on her neck.
He was proud at his little piece of art."
Well you definetly made it up princess.
And I am not mad at you.
I can't really stay mad at you for long.
It's one of my many weaknesses when it comes to you baby.
I guess I'll see you in class."
Ashton said with a wink and then left the greenhouse.
Lara put her hand on her neck and flinched at the pain she felt when she touched the mark.
She went straight to the girls' bathroom to cover it up.
Luckily there was a foundation lying in her school bag for a few days now because she was too lazy to take it all out.She took the foundation out and applied it on the mark.
She also put her hair down and put it over her shoulders so if the foundation comes off a little it is still covered.
She had to do all she could to stop Luke from seeing this.
At least for the day.
She can easily cover it at home.After she finished her covering she got out of the bathroom and went to classroom her first period was in.
And that was history.
Once she came in she saw two unfamiliar girls sitting in the back of the room.
They looked similar.
Probably sisters, Lara thought.She decided to greet them since it can't do any harm.
She went to the back of the room and sat at the desk in front of theirs.
They both turned around at the same time almost in syinc."
Hey.
You two are probably new because I've never seen you before but maybe it's just me so sorry if I'm wrong.
I am Lara by the way."
She introduced herself with a polite smile.
The two girls smiled back."
Hey.
I am Alexa and this" she said pointing to the almost exact same girls as her who sat next to her "is Talia.
My twin sister.
Yes we are new amd you didn't make a mistake.
It's very nice too meet you and we're happy someone actually talks to us cause we were honestly afraid everyone will avoid us."
Alexa, one of the twins, said."
Oh no.
You don't have to worry about that.
I have an amaizing group of friends that you guys will love.
And they will love you.
You guys should come and hang out with us at lunch."
Lara offered politely."
Sure, yeah.
We'd love that.
Thank you so much."
Talia, the other twin, answered with a smile just as polite as Lara's.
"No problem.
We would love to have new members of our crew.
I mean I don't wanna sound rude or anything but better us than Ashley."
Lara said while shaking her head a little.
The twins furrowed her eyebrows obviously confused."
Oh right!"
Lara said once her lightbulb turned on.
"You guys don't know who Ashley is.
Well not yet.
You will get to know her soon cause you can not get pass her here.
She is the main bitch here, excuse my language, but she is."
Lara said and the twins chuckled.
"We'll keep an eye on that."
Alexa said still chuckling a little.
Just when girls were getting into the talk the ball rang which meant it is time for class to begin.
The girls said their goodbyes and Lara went to her usual seat which was the last one in the row by the window.
Soon Daniel came in and sat in his usual seat, which was next to Lara.
After another minute the class started and Lara's mind went to history.------------------------------------------------------After third period lunch time finally came and Lara hurried into the cafeteria.
Once she came in and got her lunch for the day she went straight to her table where Calum, Michael and Melody were already seated.
"Hola amigos."
She said once she sat down next to Calum.
"Speaking Spanish now, aren't we?"
Calum asked once Lara sat down."
Not really since that is the only thing I know how to say in Spanish."
Lara chuckled while the rest of the group laughed.
They went into their talking and soon Luke and Daniel joined in.
Luke sat next to Lara while Daniel sat on the opposite of Michael.
"Hey honey."
Luke said and kissed Lara once he sat down.
"Hey."
Lara said and smiled lightly.
She then remembered Ashton and morning events but she decided to forget about that and decided that the events that happened this morning will never happen again.
She truly hoped it won't."
How has my princess been?"
Luke asked his lips tickling her ear which sent shivers down Lara's spine.
Ashton once again popped in her mind.
She remembered the feeling she got when he called her princess.
And she loved that feeling.
She also loved the feeling Luke gave her.
She knew she was gonna get in trouble if she doesn't put her mind in place soon."
I've been good.
How have you been?"
Lara asked him.
"I've been okay.
But I've been missing you princess."
Luke said his voice deeper and his hand resting on Lara's thigh.
"A little horny, aren't we?"
Lara asked with her eyebrows raised.
"Maybe.
How about you come to the bathroom and help me a little with that?"
Luke smirked.
Just as Lara was about to answer Melody spoke up and got everyone's attention."
Okay guys we need to tell you something."
Melody said her smile spreading from ear to ear.
"We?"
Calum asked obviously confused.
Lara then saw Melody take Michael's hand and she knew exactly what Melody meant.
"Michael and I are ofically a thing!"
Melody said with a shriek of excitment and happines in her voice.
A mix of "Congradulations!", "Oh my god that is so amaizing!" and "Finally!" could be heard.
"Can we see you two kiss?"
Lara asked excided.
"Um..we'd rather not."
Michael said quietly a blush forming on his cheeks.
"Please.
Just one tiny little kiss?
It won't kill you."
Lara insisted.
Melody turned to Michael and gave him a small and quick peck on the lips.
"Oh come on you can do better then that."
Calum said.
"Calum.
Do not push it."
Melody said with a serious face.
Then the twins came in the cafeteria.
Lara got up from her seat and hurried over to two new girls so she can intorduce them to the squad.
She lead them over to the table and they all sat down, Lara at her previous spot, Alexa next to Daniel and Talia next to Melody opposite of Calum."
Guys it is my pleasure to introduce you to our new students and hopefuly our new good friends Talia and Alexa."
Lara said with a big smile on her face.
"Guys feel free to introduce yourselves.
Don't worry we don't bite."
Lara said and the group chuckled.
"Speak for yourself.
Luke here is a real fighsty nugget when it comes to his guitar."
Calum said.
"Well Calum if you didn't try to scratch my guitar I wouldn't of bit you."
Luke said.
"You but him?
Damn Lucas you are a beast.
Lara you might want to train this one out."
Michael said and the group laughed while Luke just pouted.
"Okay guys give the twins some space to talk."
Melody said.
The squad went silent so the twins can talk."
Okay so hey.
My name is Alexa.
I am very happy we found someone to talk to and hang out with cause talking form my perspective I thought we weren't gonna fit in but luckily we came across you guys.
Um what else?
Oh I like drawing, writing and reading if anyone is interested in that.
So that pretty much covers me up."
Alexa finished and now everyone turned their heads towards the second twin so she can introduce herself as well."
Hey.
My name is Talia.
I am also very happy we found someone to hang out with.
As for me I like singing, dancing and reading.
I spend most of my time listening to music.
I couldn't live without it.
Also my favourite color is blue.
And that is pretty much all about me."
Talia said.
While she was talking she noticed Calum intensivly staring at her.
But not a creepy or judgmental stare.
It was a look of admiration, almost liking.
Who knows?
Maybe it was.
The crew was getting into talking when Melody asked Lara to come to the bathroom with her.
"What is that?"
Melody asked her as soon as they came in and closed the door.
Lara furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.
"What are you talking about?"
She asked and Melody moved her hair away to point at the mark that was made just this morning.
"That."
She said pointing at the hickey.
"Oh that."
Lara said.
"Yes.
Did Luke made that?"
When did he do that?"
Then she gasped.
"Did you do it?
Oh my god!
Was it good?
Did you like it?
Does he have a big thing?"
Melody asked in one breath.
"Okay slow down.
First of all we didn't do it.
Second of all ew.
And third of all even if we did, why would I tell you if he has a big thing or not?
Why do you even care?"
Lara asked.
"I don't know.
I'm just curious."
Melody srugged.
"You know you have your own boyfriend to worry about."
Lara said and Mslody smirked.
"Do not have mental sex with him!"
Lara made a disgusted face.
"Why not?"
Melody whined.
"At least not near me."
Lara added.
"Fine."
Melody smiled and Lara made a puking face.
"Now spill me the details on the hickey."
Melody got back to the topic.
Lara told her all about last night's events and this morning as well.
Once she finished with her talking Melody's motuh were haning wide open.
"Girl you do not spare your life.
Or waste it."
She said and Lara chuckeld.
"I'm serious Mel.
I have no idea whay to do."
She said.
"I think you need to settle this with yourself and avoid Ashton for a little while.
You need to think about this.
No one knows how you feel but you."
Melody said.
"How am I supposed to avoid him if I have to tutor him?"
Lara sighed.
"Cancel it.
Say you can't do that anymore."
Melody suggested.
"I can't cause I'm gonna get detention if I don't tutor him."
Lara said and put her head in her hands.
Melody patted her back.
"Don't worry we'll think of something.
We always do."
Melody said.
"Let's go cover that up for now.
And don't worry everything is gonna be fine."
Melody smiled.
"How do you know that?"
Lara asked.
"Trust me.
I know."
Melody said and they went to cover Lara's hickey up.
The whole time Lara asked herself how is it all gonna end?
Will she ever get her happy ending with no complications?
And most important of all, what was Melody talking about earlier?
