"What the hell were you thinking?!" I asked Justin as soon as i managed to aggressively pull him outside for a little chat.

"What?" He asked so innocently i had the urge to smack him.

"Are you out of your mind?! You must be, there is no other explanation for the idiotic thing you just did back there." I rambled.

He just shrugged and leaned back on his car.

School was finally over so i get to kill Justin now.

"So what? The plan will work even better now." He said.

I put my hand on my forehead and started pacing back and forth.

"What am i going to do? Now i have to deal with this pain in the ass for so much longer." I mumbled.

"Hey!" Justin said after 5 seconds.

I groaned and stopped pacing.

"You're a dick." I deadpanned.

He just shrugged and nodded his head.

I sighed and walked over to him.

"Okay, fine. We'll do this. But i have some rules first." I finally agreed. He gestured for me to go on.

"Rule number one, you cannot flirt with other girls when we are around other people."

Justing groaned but nodded his head anyways.

"And No PDA. We can just say that im not comfortable or whatever. Cause there is no way i am touching you." I added.

Justin put a hand over his heart. "My feelings 'Fie. How can you really resist all of this?"

"You'll get used to it." I said as i flicked his head.

"Alright, now that thats over, can we leave? I plan on going home today." Justin stated a he got in his car.

I got in too and threw my backpack off.

"That was hell." I mumbled.

"Right? It's as if Mr Humphris wants us to die right there on the spot. No one cares about dead people that towns are named after anymore."

I laughed at that.

<><><><>

"Im home!" I yelled once i finally opened the door.

I looked around and noticed that no one was inside.

"And alone." I muttered as i made my way up stairs.

I changed into something more simple and made my way downstairs with my phone in my hand.

I grabbed the Nutella jar and a spoon as i made my way to the living room, and immediately unlocked my phone to do what i did daily. Stalk Alec. I know, crazy much? You'd think now that we're friends I wouldn't be as crazy over him but I must be a masochist because i just love hurting myself by checking who he's with all the time. Newsflash, its always a girl. Recently its always Rachel. She stuck around more than usual and its starting to create a huge pit in my stomach at the thought.

I shoved some Nutella in my mouth, the pit in my stomach melting as the chocolate melted in my mouth.

That probably wasn't so healthy but who cares? It's the only thing comforting me right now. My phone rang in my hand, and I immediately picked up, happy with any distraction from Alec's Snapchat story of his little girlfriend.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Come over. Mother nature decided to pay me a visit and im feeling depressed." Beth said into the phone.

"Im on my way."

I took the car keys from the counter and made my way out, with the Nutella jar still in my hand.

I opened my car door and made my way to Beth's house.

My beautiful, sweet car that I never got a chance to use today because of the stupid guy that decided to pick me up this morning.

As soon as i got there, I noticed Elena's car over there too.

I walked in, without knocking and saw Elena crying and Beth shouting at the Tv with different kinds of food surrounding them.

I looked at the screen and saw that they were watching Titanic.

Makes sense.

"There was enough space on that thing! That twat killed Leonardo DiCaprio." Beth huffed.

"He chose to save her Beth!" Elena argued.

"So? She could've said no and saved both of them. Or took turns! She is making all the women out there looking stupid." Beth said, still not noticing me.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Elena questioned.

Beth thought about it before shrugging.

"I don't know. It just felt like a good thing to say." She answered.

I chuckled and walked over to them.

"Good! You brought Nutella!" Beth said as she took the jar away from me.

Elena groaned and slapped her own forehead.

"You shouldn't have. She already ate like 3 bags of unhealthy stuff." She said.

"Stop judging me you whore, I'm not a child." Beth smacked the back of Elena's head.

"Why are you guys watching this crap?" I asked them.

"Beth said, and i quote, 'i am feeling depressed' so she told me to put this on as soon as i came here." Elena explained.

"Aha, that explains it."

"Guys, my sister is coming back." Beth whined. "I have a reason to be depressed." She added.

"Wait... Jasmine is coming back?" I asked her.

She hummed and put a chip in her mouth.

How can she eat chips and chocolate at the same time?

"Oh my god, thats amazing!" I said excitedly.

Beth hates her sister, but honestly I actually like her.

She is nice to me and somehow is still best friends with my sister.

"Why do you like her so much? She is the devil in disguise." She mumbled as she sprayed some whipped cream into her mouth.

How?!

"Every time she comes over at our house, Selena is actually nicer to me  and life is just better." I explained as i sighed in happiness.

"Selfish hoe." Beth and Elena mumbled at the same time.

"Jealous bitches." I replied back with a grin.

"Whore." Elena responded with another grin.

Beth made a sound as if she agreed but didn't say anything since she was busy eating gummy worms.

Okay, where is all this food coming from?

"Fatasses."

They didn't bother denying that so they just nodded their heads or snorted.

"Beth you can be such a pig sometimes." Elena said as she rubbed her arm where Beth just slapped her because she tried to steal one of her packet of chips.

"No one touches my crisps okay?" She said in a thick british accent that im still not used to.

"Take anything else just not my crisps." She added.

"Okay then." Elena took the gummy worms right out of her hand and put them all in her mouth.

"Oi! What the hell man? I was eating those." Beth complained as Elena just shrugged.

"And you say im a pig." She said as she watched  Elena disgustedly. She was trying to chew them but she had too many in her mouth.

One slipped out if her mouth and on Beth.

She picked it up and threw it on the ground.

"It was still warm." She whispered as she shuddered.

Elena snorted and shrugged.

                       <><><><>

"Oh come on Beth, please?"

"No! I am not bringing satan's spirit into my home!" Beth shouted.

Elena and I were trying to convince Beth to watch 'The exorcism of Emily Rose'. Since it's based on a 'true story', Beth will refuse to watch it because she said that she always wakes up at 3:00 in the morning also.

"You suck." Elena whined.

"And you swallow." Beth said sassily as she changed what we were watching.

I chuckled.

I took the bag of Doritos out of Elena's grasps and started eating from it. I was savoring the amazing taste of the miracle in my hands when my phone started ringing. It was an unknown number so i frowned yet answered it anyways.

"New phone, who dis?" I tried to say in a deep voice.

The girls snorted next to me.

"Sofia?" My father's shaky voice said.

I immediately sat up in concern.

"Dad? Whats wrong?" I asked immediately.

"You need to come at the hospital."

<><><><><>

I ran to the receptionist.

"Selena Black. What room is she in?!" I asked frantically.

The lady was about to tell me when i saw my dad. I rushed over to him and hugged him, my arms and legs trembling and ready to give out under me.

"What happened?!" I asked him.

He didn't really say much on the phone other than 'Selena is at the hospital' and 'you need to come here'. Obviously I immediately made the worst assumptions.

Selena and I might not be the best of sisters but there was a time when we were close. Not close as in 'bffs forever! Yay!'. But close enough that i would always go to her when something was wrong or i needed advice. Ever since she finished Junior year she has been distant and wouldn't talk to anyone except Jasmine and my mother sometimes. I never got to know why.

"Um, sh-" my father got interrupted by my out raged mother.

"She tried to end her life!" My mother spit in my face.

I stumble back in surprise and covered my mouth with my hand, my heart almost stopping completely at the news. What the actual fuck?

The urge to puke became almost unbearable as i sat down on one of the chairs, pressing a hand to my stomach.

"What happened?" I whispered out, throat dry and hoarse.

"You'd know, had you been fucking home!" My mother accused, pointing a finger at me.

I frowned and that. How could this possibly be my fault?

"If you weren't busy with your good for nothing friends, you could've stopped her! Now look at her. She is on that hospital bed, fighting for her life. She could die!" My mother yelled. "My baby could die." Her voice broke as a few tears fell.

"Catherine! What kind of mother are you." My dad screamed at her. "You weren't home either. She couldn't have done anything to stop this, you can't just say that to a child." He added, pulling her farther away from me.

My mom scoffed and sat down on one of the chairs.

Now we have to wait.
