ava's pov.

i wake up and i try to rub my eyes, but i'm so tired. i look over at my phone, it's 10am. i look over and marinas laying down next to me, on her phone.

she notices im awake and lays on me. "goodmorning bitch" she says, laughing.

my face is in her boobs. "hello goodmorning i can't breathe." i say in her boobs, laughing.

she sits up and looks at me. "you excited for today?"

i sigh. i really was excited. but billie found out and she was so upset with me. thank god in texts she didn't mention where we was going.

"yeah. it's just billie." i say, looking down. i was just so worried.

she shrugs. "i don't think it'll be bad. " she says.

i go to phone and i see texts & calls
from billie, and texts from diana. my heart stops.

Billie🖤: answer the call now ava.
Billie🖤: i'm not fucking playing with you.

i sigh. i don't wanna argue this early with her. i click out the messages and see diana's.

Diana💛: goodmorning beautiful. i'm so excited for today
Diana💛: yk this girl? she followed me and the only mutual follower is you.

i look at the screenshot and it's billies instagram. dude how did she find her? then i thought about the messages. i mentally slap myself in the face. i'm so dumb.

me: oh yeah that's just one of my friends. she always is tryna know who i talk to. lol

i immediately see the typing bubble, and i wait for a response.

Diana💛: that's your friend? you don't seem like the type of person to be friends with someone like that🙃

i scrunch my eyebrows at her response. what does that mean? billie is a lot of things but that was not her business. it annoyed me.

i put my phone in front of marina. "billie found her." i say.

she reads what she said. and i look at marina with an annoyed face. "i don't like how she said that. " i say.

she scrunches her eyebrows. "that was kinda rude. she knows that's your friend. i mean it is kinda weird billie found her but like..who your friends with isn't her business." she says.

and then an incoming facetime comes from billie. marina looks at me, and i just grab my phone. i walk into the bathroom and i sit on the toilet and answer.

shes in bed, smoking a blunt. i roll my eyes, she told me finneas hates when she smokes in the room.

"you shouldn't be smoking in the room." i say, with my forehead and messy bun only in the camera.

she hits the blunt and shrugs. "i found your bitch on instagram. " she says mockingly, with her groggy morning voice.

i groan. "billie shes my friend." i say quietly.

she gives me a cold look. "i fucking hate when you lie." she says.

i gulp. "i'm not lying can you just stop?" i ask.

she hits the blunt and shakes her head. "you belong to me ava. and that's it." she says, then hangs up. i sigh, and stand up and start the shower. i was not in the mood for this.

i go on my phone while i wait for the shower to get hot, and i realized i didn't text diana back. i was just gonna let it go, i didn't wanna say anything rude before we met.

me: lol wym? she's a good friend.

i lie kind of, she is good person to me, deep down. but she sucks at being a friend. she thinks she owns me.

i put my phone and go in the shower, washing my hair, shaving everywhere, brushing my teeth, and washing my body.

when i was done and went into my room, i went into my bathrobe and had marina do my hair in two braids.

i realize i was hungry so i went downstairs and got some cereal, and sat next to adry on the couch.

she looks at me in my bathrobe with my hair on braids and laughs. "looking good av. your eating cereal. you only eat cereal when your nervous." she says.

i take a bite and roll my eyes. she was right, i ate cereal only whenever i had a big test, i had to go somewhere important, or when i had bad anxiety. "leave me alone." i laugh.

we talk about tonight and what i'm gonna wear. she was talking about me using her dress, when i see familiar black matte car speed in front of house, and park.

billie.

it was only 1 at this point, so i didn't worry about her running into diana, but i didn't wanna see her right now. adry looks out the window with me, and her eyes widen.

"what is she doing here?" she asks, looking back at me.

i stare at billie, and she looks out her window and makes eye contact with me. i jump up and i put my slippers on, going towards my door.

i walk outside, i didn't care how i looked. i walk up to her car window and knock, giving her a look.

she turns to me, opens the window and smirks. "i didn't even have to text you, you just came out right for me huh?" she says, still smirking.

i cross my arms. "what are you doing here billie?"

she looks me up and down and laughs. "i like your outfit. i hope you wear it tonight." she says, grabbing my thigh and trying to open my bathrobe to see my naked body.

i quickly hit her hand away, giving her a look.

she raises an eyebrow, smirking still. "nothing i haven't seen before baby."

i roll my eyes. i forgot she saw all of me when she washed me up the night of the party.

"billie i need to get ready. you need to leave. " i say.

she turns off her car and gets out, and stands extremely close to me, looking down at me. she was so much taller then me. i was 4'11 and she had to be about 5'7.

"i think i should stay, watch you get ready." she whispers, and walks towards my front door.

i run and jump in front of door, blocking the entrance.

"no billie. my sister and marina are here. we are not doing this right now." i say, and i hear the door open behind me, revealing adryana.

billie looks at me, and then at adryana.

"you must be the sister i hear about everyday huh?" she asks, smirking at adryana.

adryana looks completely flustered. she was never like that, usually when someone talks to her with any sort of done, the crazy spanish girl from the bronx comes out. but it didn't.

she blinks and nods. "yeah, i'm adryana. "

billie licks her lips ana eyes my sister up and down. i get so frustrated, and i shove her in her  chest.

she smirks at me, and looks up back to adryana. "billie, but i think you already knew that one ma." she says.

i glare at her. "stop fucking flirting with sister. and go. i have to get ready billie." i say with attitude, clearly jealous of how she's talking to adryana.

she looks at my sister. "i was just here reminding ava rose who she belonged too."

she leans down and kisses my cheek, and whispers in my ear. "she will never have you like i do baby girl. don't forget that." she says, she leans up and walks away, and speeds off.

i sigh, and turn around, walking in. adryana is staring at me. "wow um.." she says.

i groan and walk back in, going up my room.

adry follows me and watched me plop back on my bed.

"adry i don't wanna talk about it." i sigh.

marina looks confused. "billie came and was 'reminding ava rose who she belonged too'" adryana said. marina looks at me wide eyes. i cover my face with my hands.

"i don't know why she keeps doing this. she wanted to be friends and now she acts crazy again." i say.

"because she's falling in love with you ava." adryana says, quietly.

i snap my head to look at her. "what? no. she is not." i say, chuckling.

marina looks at me and whispers. "i think she is."

i stand up and look at them both. "no. no. no. we aren't talking about this, it's not happening. i don't want to talk about this tonight. i have to get ready." i say, then sitting in the chair by my vanity.

they decide to leave it, as i do my makeup. marina blow drys the braids so they can dry, so i can take them out. i have natural curly hair, but it's so damaged from me straightening it for years.

when it dries, i take them out and i put on a tight black turtle neck dress, and some clear
open toed heels. my sister has me use her huge burberry scarf as a coat type thing. i look in the mirror and take a deep breath. i look down at my phone, it was 4:30. i always take hours to get ready. i then get a text from diana.

Diana💛: i'm on my way pretty

i smile, and grab my purse and phone and walk downstairs. i sit down on the couch and marina and adry sit down on the side.

"you look so pretty sis!" adryana says, smiling.

i flip my hair. "why thank you." i say laughing.

we talk for a few minutes, but my mind keeps drifting to billie. part of me hopes she would pull up right now and she could see me like this, i then think. let me go outside and take pictures and i'll send them to her.

i get up and tell them i'm going to take pictures, i got outside and i find that it's golden hour, so i take a bunch of selfies.

when i take a few i look through them and i find two i like. i go and send them to billie.

me: 💕

i sent them, and smile to myself. billie drives me crazy but i love the attention she gives me, she makes me feel good about myself. i step inside and then i see a white honda pull up, and i freeze. i forgot about diana. my phone buzzes.

Diana💛: here.

my sister and marina squeal, and hand me all my stuff.

"be safe sissy! be home not too late please, you know how the queens gets at night." adryana says.

i nod and smile, i say my goodbyes and i walk outside, to see diana outside leaning on the car, smiling at me. she goes and opens the car door for me.

"you are even more beautiful in person. hello miss ava." she says and brings me in for a hug,

i hug back and smile. "thank you, it's nice to meet you for real." i laugh, and i step into her car. it was nice, a newer honda. but nothing like billies.

she starts to drive. "i hope you like the restaurant." she says, smiling.

i smile, "i used to go there a lot, when i lived in the bronx."

we talk for about 20 minutes and then i feel my phone buzz, i look at it, and it's billie. i forgot i sent her pictures.

Billie🖤: you're so fine😩
Billie🖤: dont send me shit like that.
Billie🖤: i'll come take you from that bitch and take you home with me.

my cheeks turn red, and i smile to myself. i put my phone down, and just continue conversation with diana. i do think i'm starting to like diana, but no one made me feel the way billie does. she's just something different, and when she wrote me that, my whole body went on fire and i had butterflies everywhere.

***

billies pov.

i sit and watch ava hug that bitch, and i cringe.  she was all dressed up, and she looked beautiful as fuck. she looked sexy in right dresses, i could see every curve on her little body.

i parked down the street so i could watch diana come, she drove down with a newer white honda and was dressed up too. i wanted to just go and fuck her up then, but i couldn't, i had to see what they did.

when they started to drive, i followed them. we drove about 30 minutes and then she pulls into a parking lot, of a liquor store. i park in the parking lot over so ava didn't see me. what the fuck? ava doesn't drink. so why did this bitch take her there. i watch as diana gets out and walks in. when she goes in, ava immediately goes on her phone. about 20 seconds later, i see my phone light up, with her name.

ava rose🌹: 🙄🥰 thank you.
ava rose🌹: i'm still mad you cracked my phone, and pulled up trying to flirt with my sister but i miss you

my heart skips a bunch of times. i look up to her and she's smiling into her phone as she sent me the last message. she was thinking of me when she was with her.

i had her heart. 

i watch as diana comes out with a box, i squint and its a bottle of hennessy privilege. was she gonna drink with her in the car? is she fucking crazy? i look at her as she talks to ava, and ava's face gets white. she was nervous. what the fuck was this girl doing?

i watch diana and she takes a shot. my jaw clenches as she hands ava the bottle, she takes two shots. ava doesn't fucking drink. this girl is first taking a shot then driving with ava, and then has her take two shots. ava's tiny, she can't handle dark liquor, never mind two shots of priv.

they get out the parking lot and i follow, as they drive. we drive for another 15 minutes, i look at the signs. we are about to be in the city, in queens. why they all the way here?

she finally pulls up to this big spanish restaurant, it was fancy. the park and walk towards the door, walking in. i park in the front so i can see a view inside, there was a huge window. with my luck, they get sat in front of the window, diana's back to me, while ava faces the window. i watch them for awhile as ava smiles and laughs. i watch the waitress come over, and diana hands her her ID. is she getting another drink? she's gonna fucking be drunk driving ava home. no. not fucking happening.

i watch for about 5 more minutes and i see diana grab her hand. that is it. i pull out the spot and pull up in front of the window. ava doesn't notice, so i get out and i lean up again my car door, my eyes not leaving her.

she looks up and her beautiful brown eyes lock with mine. she goes white. i wink at her and i smirk.

she will learn not to fuck with me again.

***

ava's pov.

we get inside and sit down. it was just as pretty as i remembered. when we sat down, the eyes made my eyes fuzzy. those shots got to me, i mean i was 4'11 and just over 100 pounds. i was nervous when she got the alcohol, i don't drink. billie hates that i drank before and i got really fucked up last time. but i felt like i had too, so i took the shots.

she looks at me. "you good? you don't drink huh?" she says laughing.

i shake my head. "rarely, my friend hates when i drink, and i got fucked up last time i did, so i avoid it." i say. i've talked about billie like 10 times and i feel stupid doing it. i just couldn't stop thinking about her, so it just would slip out.

she laughs. "let me guess, billie?" i nod.

"yeah."

she shakes her head. "you guys seem like good friends, she's protective, yeah?" she says, raising an eyebrow.

i smile and nod. "yeah i guess. she just sees a lot of things i don't, and she doesn't want to get hurt." i say, half lying. it is true, but she wasn't just a friend. i don't know what we were, we were just different.

the waitress comes over and we order an appetizer and i order a shirley temple, and she orders alcohol. she gives her her ID and the lady looks and hands it back, and then she goes to get our drinks. i was nervous, she drank a lot of shots she parked, and then now she's ordering another.

i give her a confused look. "i thought you were 19?" i say.

she laughs. "i am. it's a fake, miss ava."

i nod, and laugh. "oh okay."

we talk for a few more minutes, and then she stares at me. i raise an eyebrow.

"what?" i say, smiling.

she smiles and grabs my hand. "you're just so pretty." she says.

i smile. it was nice of her, she was really cute so it made me feel good. but she doesn't talk to me like billie does, it doesn't give me butterflies.

the lady comes back with our drinks and appetizer, and we talk and eat for a few. i wasnt paying attention and when i look up my take a drink, my heart stops.

i look out the window and i see billie, leaning on her car door. i felt myself go pale. she winks and smirks at me.

diana looks up at me. "are you okay? you're white again."

i nod and i stand up. "yes, i'll be right back ok?" i say, and i walk towards the front door without letting her respond.

i walk out and i see billie smiling at me.

"having fun?" she says mockingly.

i cross my arms and stumble, she grabs my arms. "that priv got to you. why are you fucking drinking?" she asks, rudely.

my eyes widen. "how the hell do you know? have you been watching me?" i ask, with attitude.

why the hell did she come here? diana is gonna be like what the fuck.

i cross my arms again, and she smirks. "i followed you." she says, fixing her shirt.

my eyes widen. how the hell did she do that? i didn't fucking see her once. god this girl is crazy, she came here to ruin my date. she was not dumb, she knew actually what she was doing too.

"why the fuck did you follow me?" i'm almost 18. i'm grown. and we are FRIENDS." i yell, i look over and i see diana watching everything.

billie looks over to the window and glares at diana. she looks back at me, and grabs my face gently. "because i told you, you belong to me ava. so you are gonna go tell diana you have to go, and come with me." she says quietly.

i push her hand off. "no billie. i'm not going with you." i say, getting annoyed.

she raises an eyebrow. "you don't wanna say that ava. you are coming with me or..well you know, it won't end well for diana." she smirks, looking back at diana in the window.

my eyes widen, and then i look at her. she was
