Cupcakes

Lindsey’s P.O.V

“Lindsey May Lee why are you so late?” I could hear my mother’s nagging voice coming from the kitchen the moment I opened the door.

“Sorry, I had to do the class chores today. I forgot to tell” I said quickly as I hurriedly threw off my shoes and turned around so I could hurry my way up to the bathroom.

“Why do you always forget to tell me Tha--

Too Late.

“What in the...why are you so wet?” my mom looked at me in disbelief

“I got splashed by a passing car...” I looked down in an attempt to hide my wounds with my hair “So I’m going to take a shower now, before I get sick”

I walked passed her when she held out her arm and stopped me. “What is that...” she sharply asked

“What is what?” I asked as I scratched temple so my hand was hiding my cuts. I tried to walk passed her arm but to no result. She grabbed my wrist and yanked it away from my face, grabbing my chin with the other hand and turning my face towards her.

“That” her eyes were shocked and worried.

I inhaled a tired breath and sighed “It’s nothing mom” I rolled my eyes

“Since when are a busted lip and eyebrow nothing?” she sternly said “What happened?”

I sighed again and looked at her. “I bumped into a door on my way out at school, it’s nothing. I was just careless” I shook my head out of her grip and continued my way up the stairs. I could feel her eyes burn on my back.

I walked into the bathroom and locked the door quickly as I heard another door open.

“May?” I heart Ariana call

“Yeah?” I answered as I walked towards the sink and the mirror.

Thank god for the rain that day, all the blood was washed away and all what remained were the cuts. A few small bruises started to form around them and I sighed.

“Why are you so late again?” Ariana asked as she knocked on the door “Did you have school chores again?”

“Yeah...” I answered as I took of my clothes and dropped them in the laundry basket. My arm was still hurting and I took a good look at it in the mirror. There was a huge bruise near my shoulder and I wasn’t able to lift my arm without pain. The rest of my body was covered in bruises as well while my legs had a few scratches from the stone floor.

I sighed and stepped into the shower cabin. I waited for the water to turn into the right temperature and stepped under it. The warm water glided over my body and I winced, the hot water stinging on my wounds. I wrapped my arms around myself with balled fists and hissed. My tears got mixed up with the water and I clenched my teeth while I tried to breathe away the pain.

It took a few minutes for me to get used to the pain and exhaled a deep breath. I grabbed the shower gel and shampoo and started washing myself. After I finished cleaning myself up I dried myself off and wrapped a towel around myself. I slid on my bathrobe, making sure all my bruises were covered and I found my way to the sink.

I fished out a few band aids from one of the drawers and started applying medicine to the cuts on my face. After the band aids were applied firmly I cleaned everything up and left for my room.

Ariana who was sitting at the desk watching Louis again, turned and looked at me.

“What the hell happened to you?” she frowned and kept staring at my face

“Nothing” I walked towards my closet and grabbed my underwear, a pair of long pajama pants, a shirt and a vest before returning to the bathroom.

“That’s not nothing...” Ariana raised an eyebrow

“If I tell you you’re going to keep mocking me about it anyway” I said as I left the room.

Diego was leaning against the wall in front of the bathroom and glanced at me as I approached

“What happened?” he asked simply

“You’re just like her, I’m not telling shit” I chuckled

But he didn’t find it amusing, at all.

In fact, my answer seemed to tick him off. He grabbed my upper arm and pulled me back from entering the door. I winced and hissed in pain. He let go of my arm in a flash and glanced at my arm.

“Who did this to you?” he backed away from the wall

“I did, it was an accident! What the hell is wrong with you?” I rubbed my arm “Jesus Diego”

I tried to walk passed him again, still holding onto my arm when he blocked my way with his arm. “I’m not gonna ask you again” He said soft and sharply

This time he was the one pissing me of and I looked up at him “I said. It was. An accident.” I hissed and shoved his arm away before locking the bathroom door behind me.

I could hear Diego sigh and enter his room. I sighed and looked into the mirror again...An accident? Yeah right...who am I kidding...

Harry’s P.O.V

We we’re in the studio and Liam, Louis and I were playing cards as Zayn was busy recording. Niall was standing in a corner watching Zayn intently. He always looked up to him and Liam.

“Niall, come join us for a round” Liam leaned back and looked at him

Niall blinked and turned to face us. He grabbed a chair and squeezed himself in between Liam and Louis.

Louis dealt the cards again and we started a round of Spades. After a little while Zayn returned and threw his arms over Niall’s neck as he looked at Liam.

“You’re up lad” he spoke and Liam looked up

“What? already?” he looked back to the producer

Zayn nodded and ruffled Niall’s hair in the process, causing Niall to throw a fit.

Liam got up and pointed at his cards” Zayn, can you watch my cards?”

Zayn escaped Nialls claws and took Liam’s place around the small table. He took a look at Liam’s cards and snorted and we all looked at him.

“Don’t get cocky” Louis said with a crooked smile

“Oh believe me...I’m not” Zayn said with an amused smile on his face.

In the end we all found out why. Liam had the worst hand possible and Zayn is not a good poker face. Liam returned and Louis went in after him. We we’re playing a new round when Niall suddenly spoke up out of nowhere.

“You guys wanna go out and get something to eat after we’re finished here? I really have this huge craving for cake right now..” we all looked up at him and I frowned.

“Cake?” I chocked my head to the side when a memory popped into my head “That reminds me....I went out to get my sister some cupcakes a few days ago....you’re never gonna guess what, or who.... I saw.”

The guys all looked up at me and I scratched y nose.

~Flashback~

“Thank you~” my sister said before she hung up. My radio continued playing while I drove trough one of the many tunnels in the city.

“Where the hell am I going to find this cake store?” I sighed and looked around while I drove through the streets slowly. “Vannilli, Vannilli...”

It had been raining for a couple of days and the streets were quite peaceful. I drove around a little longer and when I was about to give up and call my sister back I spotted a huge pink neon cupcake with the word Vannilli written gracefully underneath it.

I parked the car in front of the shop and fixed my shawl and beanie before putting on my sunglasses. I got out of the car and headed towards the little shop. Twenty different kinds of scents all mixed together and entered my nostrils the moment I stepped inside. It was almost like I entered Charlie’s Chocolate Factory. The shop was decorated with pink, brown and crème colors, cupcakes and pastry flying everywhere. It was a chic store and the interior made it seem like it was very expensive as well. I looked around with my mouth hung slightly open. Thank god my shawl was covering it.

“Can I help you sir?” A girl voice rose up from behind me and I turned around.

It was one of the employees, or so I thought. Even their working clothes fitted the shop theme perfectly. She looked as if she was instantly plucked out of one of those Japanese strips. Her dark hair was braided into a knot with and her white and soft pink lace headband matched perfectly with her soft pink dress and white apron. Her shoes were white and soft pink stockings covered her knees as they ended with a white lace edge.

I blinked a couple of times as I looked at the girl “excuse me?”

She smiled, her fierce hazel eyes twinkling “Is there something I can help you with sir?” she asked kindly again

“uh...” I looked around “yeah...I’m here to pick up an order...” I said, still taken aback by everything inside of these walls.

“Sure, please follow me sir” she said and guided me towards the counter. “What is the name?”

“Gemma” I said and looked around while she searched the archive.

The cupcakes looked seriously delicious, but that’s not what caught my eye. On the wall, behind the counter, hung a huge picture of a girl. I frowned as the feeling of nostalgia ran up my spine. The girl was pretty and her eyes were brilliant like jewelry.

EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH OCTOBER. It read in huge letters under the picture. There was a name written underneath but the jingle of the bell at the door tore my attention away from the picture. I turned around and the cold breeze of outside hit the parts of my face that weren’t covered. I shivered and looked at the person who had just entered.

“Latifa Diva~” the girl chirped as she took off her shawl and beanie. I blinked and looked back at the picture...it’s her...

“May!!” The girl behind the counter wined “Oh my god girl I thought you weren’t gonna come today~”

..May?..I looked back at the girl as she walked passed me, her hair smelling like fresh apples.

“lol how couldn’t I, the manager scheduled me differently today” May shrugged and disappeared to the back of the shop.

I looked back at the picture and my eyes trailed down to the name.

LINDSEY MAY LEE it read....Lindsey May Lee?....May....

A blue dress popped into my head as I remembered the concert and my eyes went wide. I stared at the picture for a while when a voice snapped me out of my trance.

“Sir? Sir?” I looked at the girl behind the counter.

“ah..sorry..yes” I shook my head lightly and paid for Gemma’s order. “Thank you~”

I grabbed the bag and walked towards the door, throwing one last glance at the picture on the wall before leaving.

~End Flashback~

The guys were all staring at me with confused looks on their faces.

“Really?” Louis said with raised eyebrows “What the hell is she a ghost?”

“Is God trying to tell us something?” Liam joked and Zayn chuckled softly.

I looked at Niall who was staring at me with raised eyebrows as well. It was quiet for a while before Liam broke the silence “You guys still in for that cake?” he said with a smug smile

We looked at each other and the hint got passed through very quickly. We all smirked and grabbed our jackets.
