Fairy Tale
Feeding An Army
Willow POV
I was standing at one little stall that was selling amazing jewelry and I had picked out a beautiful necklace; I was trying to pay the elderly woman but I couldn’t understand what she was telling me as she was speaking only in German, I knew absolutely nothing in German and I think because of her age that she didn’t know any English so I was completely stuck.
“Here you are and keep the change” I heard a deep voice behind me sound in German as an arm reached past me with some money; the stranger paid the elderly women before taking the necklace from her, I turned around to thank the stranger but I came face to face with Tom.
“Oh it’s you, I was handling it Tom. I didn’t need you to come and help, I also didn’t need you to pay for the necklace” I told him rather harshly which I didn’t mean but I didn’t like people thinking that I needed to be brought things; that’s what everyone has been doing ever since the accident and I was getting sick of it.
“I’m sorry Willow I was just trying to help you out, I saw that you couldn’t understand that lady so I thought you would like some help” Tom said to me softly as he placed the necklace into my hand; I sighed softly knowing that I shouldn’t have snapped at him but it just came out, I took the necklace from him as Gustav and Bill walked up behind Tom.
“I’m sorry Tom, I know you were just trying to help” I said to him softly as I looked up at him making our eyes lock together; I knew why so many girls loved him so much because even though I didn’t want to admit it, he was gorgeous with his long black cornrows and stunning brown eyes but I also knew what he was like after I researched all four of them last night when I couldn’t sleep.
“Its fine Willow, you don’t need to apologize to me” Tom reassured me with an amazing smile that would make any girl weak at the knees. “How about we go grab some dinner before we go find Georg and Brianna?” Tom asked the three of us making Bill agree instantly as he held my hand and dragged me off; which was hard considering both our hands were holding a number of bags.
The four of us walked towards the food court and I swear I felt eyes on my back which wouldn’t surprise me as Tom as walking behind me; both Gustav and Tom had taken my bags from me so now my hands were empty which did give Tom a couple of good points in my books, but I still didn’t like him because he was cocky and a man whore.
Bill, Tom and Gustav ended up getting a burger and chips while I got a small chips and a chicken salad roll with four diet cokes; we grabbed a table so we could eat but once we all had our chips left to eat we decided to eat and walk around, Bill was getting a little worried that someone would recognize them so we decided to leave.
On our way out of the market I brought some more kitchen products like some pans and a pot as Gustav didn’t have a lot; I looked through his kitchen this morning when Gustav and Brianna were still sleeping and made a list of things that I needed to buy. I loved cooking and baking as it helped me relax which was good for me now but I was also really good at it; ever since I could talk Mom got me to help her in the kitchen until I was old enough and then it became my kitchen as I cooked most meals for Brianna and our parents.
Gustav went to go get Georg and Brianna as I stayed with Bill and Tom; I of course used that time to go buy myself a Mother energy drink which will help keep me awake for as long as I can, I knew that I shouldn’t drink energy drinks or coffee as much as I do because I needed to sleep but every time I fell asleep I’d have nightmares.
“Willow Johnson! How many times have I told you to stop drinking those energy drinks at this time of the night?” Brianna scolded me as she walked over towards me with Georg and Gustav with her; she knew why I was doing this and it hurt her knowing that she couldn’t do anything to help me with the nightmares that I was always having.
“I’ve lost count Bri but you shouldn’t worry about me so much, so don’t worry about me” I reassured her as we started walking back to Gustav’s house which was kind of Brianna’s and my house now as well; I just wasn’t used to calling it that yet as I still thought of New York as my house, but I had only been here for nearly two days so it will take some time.
Once we arrived at Gustav’s house the guys hanged around for a little bit as Bill wanted to help me unpack everything that I had brought today; even though I wasn’t a big fan of Tom and thought he was annoying, I was really liking Bill and knew that he would soon become one of my closest and best friends which I didn’t mind at all. Brianna always told me that I needed to surround myself with good people; sure we had the same group of friends but I also had some other friends that Brianna hated because they were a bad influence on me, and she was right because as soon as they heard about the accident I never saw them again.
“Alright girls you’ve both had a long day so it’s time that we all go to bed” Gustav told my sister and I after we had said goodnight to Georg, Bill and Tom; I wanted to stay up and talk to Brianna about what she thought about Georg but I knew I couldn’t, she’d just tell me that I needed to sleep and she’s tell me tomorrow.
The three of us said our goodnights before we headed into our bedrooms; I closed the door and looked around my amazing new room, Gustav was the best because my room was perfect for me and I couldn’t ask for anything more. Of course it was different to my old room but that didn’t bother me as I was always changing my old room; but I did feel a little awkward last night but that was only because I wasn’t used to the room yet.
I was driving down the familiar highway in the car that I just adored with Brianna seating beside me; our hair was moving around in the cool breeze that filled my car as Brianna had her window rolled down a little. This was something that we always did together from the time when we could drive alone; we just drove around New York and sees where it took us before driving back home after spending the day together.
I wasn't sure why but I couldn’t really hear anything clearly; I could see that Brianna was talking as her lips moved but what I heard was just a blurry mess, the CD player was on but that sound wasn’t clear to me either which confused the hell out of me. I didn’t know what was going on or how to fix it so that I could hear everything clearly again; I thought that if I stopped somewhere then I could get out of my car and clear my head, so I turned onto the road that would take us to the park where Brianna and I used to go when we were kids.
I was driving along the road when suddenly Brianna got excited about a song that started playing on the stereo but everything was still blurry to me; I glanced over at my sister to see her singing along to the song and enjoying herself, which made me smile because she was so happy at that moment.
“Willow, no!” I heard Brianna scream loudly in fear which pierced through all the blurred sounds; I looked back straight ahead of me before I slammed my foot on the brakes and tried to steer my car away from the edge of the road, but it was too late and I could feel my car start to lean to the left side as we broke through the safety railing and fell down the cliff side.
I inhaled deeply as I bolted into a sitting position as I woke up from the nightmare; I ran my hands over my face which was covered in sweat as I took deep breathes to try and calm myself down. I calmed down once I realized that it was just a dream and that Brianna was sleeping across the hall from me; I looked at my bedside clock and saw that it was 7:00 in the morning which was nice because I usually woke up from a nightmare at like 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning.
I got up out of bed and walked into my ensuite so I could splash my face with some cold water; I also brushed my teeth and hair before I made my bed and quietly walked downstairs. I did some cleaning around the house like cleaning all the windows and washing the kitchen floor; I did anything that would pass the time and distract me for a few hours until Brianna and Gustav woke up.
I took a shower after I finished cleaning up and got ready for the day; I put makeup on after I dried and straightened my red hair. I then walked back downstairs and started cooking breakfast for everyone; the guys were coming over this morning so I was making them breakfast as well which was eggs, bacon, sausages, toast, pancakes, waffles, fruit salad, freshly squeezed orange juice and coffee.
“Wow Willow, what are you feeding? An army?” Gustav said in shock when he saw all the food on the dining room table; Brianna smiled while shaking her head as she was used to feasts like this as I always tended to cook too much food, but it’s better to cook too much food than to not cook enough.
“Well I wasn’t sure what everyone ate or liked so I just made anything, why? Should I make something else or make more?” I asked them both now a little worried that it wasn’t enough food or that the guys wouldn’t like what I cooked for them.
“No Will, trust me this is enough food and the guys will love it. You need to stop worrying so much, and you didn’t need to cook this much but at least we know that no one will stave today” Brianna told me smiling as she poured herself a glass of juice; while Gustav and I sipped our mug of coffee which I’d lost count of just how many coffees I had have this morning, which didn’t bother me but I knew it would bother Brianna if she knew but that’s why I didn’t let her know.
“Good morning everyone” Bill said happily as he walked into the kitchen with Tom and Georg behind him; he raised his eyebrow when he saw the table full of food but he didn’t say anything because Tom was quick to comment about the amount of food, just like Gustav did.
“Alright let’s all ignore the amount of food I cooked and let’s get eat it before it gets cold, I spent a lot of time cooking all of this” I told them as I playfully glared at Tom before I sat down at the table; Gustav and Bill sat on either side of me while Brianna sat in between Georg and Tom, we spent the morning eating, talking and joking around which was really fun.
After all the food was eaten Brianna excused herself when her phone started ringing and she walked into the living room; Bill helped me put all the plates and dishes into the dishwasher when Brianna slowly walked back into the room, I turned to face her when I saw the tears in her eyes.
“It’s sold Will, it’s gone now. Our house is sold already” Brianna told me as the tears rolled down her cheeks; she tried wiping them away but more tears fell before she turned around and ran upstairs to her room with Gustav and Georg following close behind her.
I watched my sister ran off as I felt the tears form in eyes as the realization of everything that has happened finally hit me; I ran out the back door and sat on the deck stairs as the tears fell from my eyes. I couldn’t believe that they sold our old house so quickly and now the house that I grew up in was no longer mine; I could never go back to New York to stay in my old room anymore and that hurt more than I expected.
I looked up when someone sat beside me and wrapped their arm around my shoulders; I leaned over and started crying into Tom’s chest as he just held me and rubbed my back softly. Right now I didn’t care that it was Tom would was comforting me as I just needed someone here while I cried; which wasn’t like me as only my family had seen me cry before, I didn’t want to seem like I was weak in front of people.
