Fairy Tale

Willow’s POV

I walked into the recording studio with Brianna right beside me while Gustav walked behind us holding Brianna’s roses; they would die if we left them in the car so we decided to bring them in and put them in a vase with water. I looked around the place wanting to see everything that I could and I knew I looked like a kid inside a candy store; but being in a recording studio was so exciting to me so I was going to take everything in when I could.

“Gustav brought us roses?” Bill said in confusion as we walked into the room where Bill, Tom and Georg were already sitting; I smiled as I glanced over to my sister while Gustav put the beautiful roses in a vase and set it on the table.

“Umm no, they’re mine actually. Collin sent them to me with a teddy bear this morning, I didn’t have time to leave them at home because Gustav was pushing us to his car” Brianna explained to the guys as she took a seat on the couch in between the twins; I stood beside Georg who was sitting on a swivel chair letting Gustav stand on my other side.

“Oh so he’s sending you gifts now? And by the look of those flowers, he must love throwing his money around and rubbing it in everyone’s faces” Georg said as he frowned and glared a little at the roses; Brianna’s eyebrows shot up in shock as did everyone else’s because for as long as we’ve known him, his never said anything like that before so it wasn’t like him to snap.

“He sent them to me as a thank you for sparing with him at the gym, and for hanging out with him. Georg what’s gotten into you? Why are you getting upset about Collin sending me a thank you gift?” Brianna asked him softly as she looked at him and I could tell that how he was acting was affecting her; she always put others before herself so if Georg was upset then she would try to find out why.

“He sends you a gift once and then he keeps sending them, he’ll ask you out on a date and ask you to not bring us with you, and that always leads to the one thing he wants the most. He just wants sex from you Brianna” Georg told her as he stood up from his chair and walked out of the room; leaving us all shocked from what he said and it took a few seconds to realise that none of us knew what to do.

“I’ll go” I said softly to everyone as I turned and followed the way Georg went; I found him out back sitting on a wooden bench so I took a seat beside him and just let us sit there for a few minutes, I wasn’t about to start talking to an angry Georg so I let him calm down first.

“You like Brianna don’t you? And I mean you really like her and want Collin gone, so you can get closer to her” I said to him quietly as I looked over at him and we both knew that I was right because I could just see it when he looked at her; but I also knew that Georg was confused about his feelings because I could see that in his eyes as well.

“I don’t know Willow, I mean I like her as a friend. Sometimes it seems like she’s interested in me and I would take it slow for her, but now I don’t know because Collin’s in the picture and she seems to like him more” Georg told me as he leaned back into the bench and ran his hand through his hair; I let a soft sigh escape my lips as I saw Georg like this and I just wanted to fix everything but I knew that I couldn’t.

“Look Georg I would love it if you dated Brianna, and I don’t know Collin that well yet but he seems nice as well. I just want her to be happy and if that means being with you then great, but if Collin makes her happy then that’s great too” I said lightly knowing he would agree with me even if he didn’t want too.

“I know Will and I want Brianna to be happy as well, I guess I just want to protect her and make sure that no one hurts her. I guess I’ll just have to see what happens and be her friend if she chooses Collin, even if I don’t like him one bit” Georg said with a soft sigh and I knew that was hard for him to admit; I smiled as I wrapped my arms around him and gave him a big hug with he returned while laughing.

“Now that we have that settled, how about we head back inside?” I smiled at him as I stood up and pulled on his arm so he would stand up as well; he shook his head a bit as he stood up and we walked back into the studio, we entered the room and I nudged him over to Brianna so he could apologize to her.

“Great you’re back, now you and Tom can go get us all some lunch” Bill told me happily as he smiled down at me and handed me some money; I looked up at him with my mouth open a little bit because everyone knew I didn’t like Tom, just because we slept in the same bed didn’t mean anything.

“What? Why do I have to go with him? You’re his brother, you should be the one to go with him” I said as Tom stood beside Bill with a stupid smirk on his face which didn’t help me like him; I looked up at Bill who was still smiling at me and I knew what he was trying to do.

“Because you two need to start liking each other more, you’re going to be around each other a lot so you can at least get along for our sake” Bill said as he past me my handbag and gave me a gentle push towards the door; I narrowed my eyes at him a little before I opened the door and walked out.

Tom of course started following me as he put his sunglasses on as we walked down the street in silence; I didn’t know what I kind say to him and I didn’t actually want to talk to him just yet because I didn’t even know why he was the one I picked to sleep with last night, normally it would have been Brianna but for some strange reason my feet took me to him and I didn’t like it.

Tom held the door open for me as we reached the Italian restaurant where Bill had ordered our lunch; we walked over to the front counter were a girl around our age stood waiting to serve people and I could tell she didn’t know who Tom was, but that didn’t stop her from flirting with him as he told her our order was under my name.

All I could do was stand there while Tom flirted back with her and let his tongue play with his lip ring; I rolled my eyes when the girl rested her arms on the counter and leaned over which let Tom get a very good look down the front of her shirt, I couldn’t stand girls throwing themselves at guys like this because she should have more respect for herself and her body, she shouldn’t just give in to guys because their good looking.

I gave the girl some money when she finally gave us our order and I was walking out of that restaurant as fast as I could; I just picked the two bags up and walked out leaving Tom standing at the counter but I could hear his footsteps behind me, he didn’t take long at all to catch up to me and take both bags from my hands, I would have thought that was sweet but nothing was sweet when it involved Tom.

“Finally guys, what took you two so long to get back?” Gustav asked us once we entered the room again; I noticed Gustav’s concerned look when he saw the look on my face and I guess I wasn’t looking all that happy right now, which I wasn’t.

“Blame Tom, he was being a whore again and kept flirting with the girl who served us. Seriously Tom why do you have to treat girls like that? We’re not all pieces of meat and we’re not all easy” I said to Gustav before I turned to Tom and snapped at him; Bill took the bags from his brother before freezing when he heard what I said.

“She flirted with me first Willow, you saw that and it was just some harmless flirting. Besides you’re one to talk about being easy, you’re the one who climbed into bed with me” Tom said to me with a smirk on his lips and a joking tone to his voice; but I didn’t take it as a joke and neither did anyone else because everyone stayed quiet.

“I hate you” I spat at Tom in a cold voice as tears started to quickly form in my eyes from what he just said to me; I held the tears back as I pushed past him and grabbed Gustav’s keys from his jacket that was over a chair, I ran out of the studio as the tears fell and jumped into Gustav’s car praying he wouldn’t hate me for taking it.

I heard Brianna and Gustav call after me but I had already pulled out of the car spot and started driving away; I knew Brianna would be panicking about me because I do tend to drive a bit fast when I’m upset, I’m also in a country with different road rules and I do get lost quiet easily but I just needed to get back home.

I somehow managed to arrive at Gustav’s house without damaging his car even though I did nearly cause two accidents on the way here; I parked in the garage before I ran into the house and left the keys and my handbag in the living room, which is something I never do because I like everything neat and tidy.

I walked into my bedroom and slapped the door shut as I started crying harder because when Tom joked about me being easy it brought up memories; my ex-boyfriend Tyler wasn’t exactly the nicest guy ever but he did pretend to be so I’d date him, then he turned into an abusive boyfriend who always called me names like whore and always said that he only dated me because I was easy.

We dated for 2 years because I was scared to leave him since I didn’t want him to hurt my family; Brianna and our parent’s hated him so if he could beat me up then I didn’t want to risk their safety by giving him a reason to hurt them.

I was crying so hard that my chest was tight and starting to hurt but I couldn’t calm myself down as I was so hurt and so angry; I grabbed the mirror that I use for applying my makeup off my desk and threw it against the wall, the glass instantly shattered from the impact but I was already walking over to my full length mirror, I pulled my arm back before letting my fist connect with the mirror which also shattered and cut my hand a bit.

I didn’t care about my hand as I fell to my knees and sat on the floor with my back resting against my bed; now I wouldn’t be able to see my reflection so I couldn’t see the weak girl that I was because I promised myself that I wouldn’t let anyone get to me and I would stand up for myself, I promised myself that at my parent’s funeral and I’d just broken that promise.

I heard Gustav downstairs calling out my name as he looked for me and I hated myself for making them all worry about me; I heard footsteps running up the stairs before my door was flung open to reveal a scared Gustav who cussed before running over to me.

“Someone get the first aid kit!” Gustav yelled out loudly as he sat down beside me and wrapped me up in his strong arms; I leaned into him as Brianna rushed to my other side with tears running down her cheeks.

“I’m sorry for worrying you guys, but I’m going to be just fine. Please don’t cry Breezy, you know I hate seeing you cry pumpkin” I said with a small smile as I wiped her tears away with my good hand and used another nickname for her; when we were 7 our Mom tried to get us to eat pumpkin but I didn’t like it so I threw it at Brianna and that nickname kind of stuck.
