Two shoes (Nathan Sykes Fan-Fic)

Chapter 13

 Hi guys! First of all thank you so much for 900 views! That's amazing, you rock! Sorry this took a while I've had a lot of homework, revision and mock exams. I just hope it was worth the wait! xx

ILY

Lexi's POV

I stood up gingerly, careful not to put too much pressure on my bruised, sore body that was throbbing in pain. Ouch. I limped over to my bedroom mirror. I looked appalling... I had a huge black eye and my body was basically purple due to the amount of bruises. 

"Just get on with it." I whispered to myself as I delicately tried to get dressed. You know when you break  a bone or have a scab and you have to be super careful when you try and put someone on? Imagine that with your whole body. It's not fun. I grabbed a blue striped white short sleeve t-shirt, a pair of denim skinny jeans, a lightweight cardigan plus my converse and sunglasses. I took my pants and balanced on one leg trying to get one leg in and as I am an absolute klutz, I fell over. I stumbled to my feet, clutching my back in agony. I walked into my mum's bedroom and fished out some of her make up since I don't wear any. I hate make up, it makes me feel like a barbie doll but I needed to cover up the purple around my eye. I walked outside in my pajama top just for a second to gauge the temperate, it was quite warm but not sunny... Damn English weather, it's never what you want it to be... So now I would be the idiot in layers and sunglasses on a warm day with no sun. Fan-frickin-tastic.

On my way to meet someone very special! You'd be jealous if you knew :) I tweeted to my rapidly growing 10,000 followers, one of which is Nathan's. Of course I got some wild assumptions and some Tell me now!'s but I said nothing... I'm sure a few of them could put something vaguely along the lines of reality together but none of them seemed to, thank god because I don't think Nathan would be too happy with me if they worked it out though so I decided to stay off Twitter.

I yelped as I leaned over to tie my shoes, my back was getting a lot worse, not better which I hoped it would. I limped into the kitchen and found it empty apart from a note taped to the fridge

I'm going away for the week. I trust you to stay alive whilst I'm gone. See you, Mum.

Typical emotionless, loveless Mum. 

I grabbed my keys and headed out the door, my back ached with every movement but I kept walking, moving to the beat of the song blaring through my IPod. (Best song song to walk to or should I say march to has got to be Personal Solider). I got to the bus stop and... No one was there. I checked the time on my phone and I was on time in fact I was 5 minutes late. I sat down inside and let my thoughts run away with me. Did I imagine him? Am I crazy? Or maybe Alex hired him to test my loyalty? Maybe it would just be better for me to leave, for all of us... I stood up in the corner as I heard voices outside

"Do think she stood me up?" Someone said in a familiar accent from the farmland

"Maybe she realised it was for the best." A different voice said

I peaked my head around the corner quickly and saw Nathan pacing slightly and talking to Big Kev

I walked out with my arms behind my back

"No she's not bright enough to realise that." I said, smiling a cheeky grin at Nathan

He turned on his heals and smiled back at me

"Oh hi! Didn't see you there! Let's go!"

"It probably would have been best to look around the area before you start pacing like caged lion." I said, sarcasm dripping through my voice. Nathan skipped over comically and took my arm and linked it with his. I winced a little as he tugged on my bruised arms but smiled through it. He started skipping again and I erupted in a fit of giggles
