ava's pov.

me and diana have been texting for 2 days. it's friday now, and she wanted to facetime. i was
scared, mainly because i'm awkward, also because i feel like billie is always watching. i found out diana lived in queens, which was about 45 minutes from us. which was good, because billie wouldn't expect me to ever be in the city, in case me and diana ever hung out.  me and billie have been texting but she had to go out and handle some business today with some new guy in the gang. i don't know, i don't ask questions when it comes to that.

i just got home and i sighed. i finished all my
weekend homework because i didn't have time tomorrow, i had plans with billie. i didn't know what we were doing, i never did, but it's whatever.

i sit on the couch next to marina, who's watching tik toks with adry. i text back diana, she wanted to facetime at like 5 when she got home. i jump when marina looks over my shoulder.

"who's that av? you've been like smiling at your phone all day." marina asks. "billie?"

i shake my head and bite my lip, laughing. "no, i met someone else."

adry jumps up. "whaaaaat?! who is he? where'd you meet him?"

i laugh. "she. and i may have went on tinder."  i said, looking down.

they squeal. marina jumps on me. "a girl? so you gonna stick to that route?" she says, smiling.

i laugh again. her and adry were smiling like crazy. "i don't know. i've always found girls attractive. i guess i like both." i say, shrugging.

adry claps and squeals again. "yessss! my sis is a bisexual women!" she laughs.

i laugh. "oh my god stop!"

marina is still on me smiling. "are you meeting up with her? she lives in new york?"

i nod. "in queens, and i don't know. we are facetiming in like an hour."

they continue to squeal and ask me a bunch of questions until like 4:50.

"so av, i know this is a sore subject but like.. do you still have feelings for billie or?" adry asks.

i sigh. of course i did. she was so important to me. i couldn't lose something like that over night. and i really didn't want to. but she did wanna do anything with me.

i shrug. "well yeah. but i can't stay stuck on it. we are friends, with different lives. it sucks."

marina leans her head on my shoulder. "did you tell her about this?"

i jump up. "hell no. are you nuts?" i laugh.

adry looks at marina wide eyed. "telling billie is not a good idea marina. it's not like she doesn't have feelings for ava, she's just too much for her i guess. and on top of that, she's crazy. she'd set it off wherever they were."

marina nods. "i don't know, but keeping it from her isnt good either. she'd be more mad if you lie. "

i shake my head and laugh. "i don't know even know what's going on yet! slow down." i look down and see a text from diana.

Diana💛: i'm bout to call you

i jump up. "she's bout to call."

they tell me to go, and i go to my room and i fix myself real quick until i see an incoming facetime coming from diana.

i answer, and i put my face out camera. her face was in it. her hair was in two braids, and she had a line up.

"hellooo miss ava." she says. billie calls me that.

i laugh. "hi diana." i say, still not showing my face.

"oh god please don't tell me your fake. show me ya face pretty." she say laughing.

"i'm not fake diana, fine." i say, adjusting the phone on my face.

she stares at me then whistles. "damn girl! you more beautiful then i thought." she says, smirking.

i blush and smile. "thank you, i appreciate it." i say. she was actually really cute. but not like billie. billie was something else, she was perfect.

oh ava shut up.

we continue to talk for the next 30 minutes. she wanted to meet up on sunday, go to a this fancy spanish restaurant in queens, i used to go there for me and adryanas birthdays with our parents. we make the plan and she was gonna pick me up at 5 on sunday. i was actually excited, but nervous. billie randomly shows up sometimes, and my sister and marina are terrible liars, never mind to billie. she's too intimidating to lie to.

we continue to talk for a little longer until i see billie facetiming me. i freeze and my face falls.

"you ok ava? you look like you just saw a ghost." she laughs.

i try to act normal. "oh yeah my friends just calling me, so i'll just call you later. ok?" i say, very awkwardly.

she raises an eyebrow. "okay, i'll text you then. bye miss ava." ugh that name.

i don't even say bye and i accept billies call, she was outside smoking.

"hey baby" she says, she always uses that word. and my heart always starts pounding.

"h-hey bil." i say, i was shaking a bit because i was nervous she already knew something. i was so paranoid.  

she raises an eyebrow, while hitting the blunt. "what's wrong? you look all fucked up. " she asks. "you high or something?" she asks, i could tell she was ready to get mad.

i roll my eyes. "no billie, i was just nervous you never facetime me. i thought something was wrong. " i lie, hoping she buys it and stops asking questions.

she looks at me suspiciously, but let's it go. "nah mama, i'm fine. i was just checking in, making sure you got home alright. you didn't let me know you was home." she says, shifting the phone as she stood up.

billie has started this thing, when i get home
from anywhere, i tell her i'm home safe. she's been more protective since that night. friends do that sort of thing right?

i shake my head. "sorry i was talking to my sister and marina right when i got home. i figured you was busy too with all that gang gang shit." i say, laughing.

she rolls her eyes. "don't say that again that was gay." she laughs, then looks at me suspiciously again. "you sure you good? you're being weird." she asks.

i was so bad at acting normal. "yes billie i'm ok." i say, smiling.

"whatever you say ava, ima go though, i'm bout to go finish up these plays with manny and his friend. " she rolls her eye.

i nod, and look at her confused. "what? you don't like your new gang person or whatever." i say, i don't know any of that gang talk or whatever it is.

she puts the blunts out and shrugs. "i don't know. he's kind of weird, i'm just playing it out i guess. but i don't got time for stupid games and shit."

i nod. "oh ok, i'll just talk to you later. bye billie."

"goodbye miss ava." she says, then hangs up. ugh i heard the name twice, but two different people.

* 

saturday comes and i'm getting ready to go out with billie. i don't know where we are going so i don't know what to wear. so i just put on a green turtle neck sweater crop top, with jeans. i put my hair up in a ponytail and pull out the two front strands. i put on some light makeup, and then marina walks in.

"you going with billie?" she asks, plopping on the bed.

i nod, while putting on some lip gloss.

she looks up at me and raises an eyebrow. "you telling her?"

i look at her in my mirror. "n o. no." i say, laughing. "i deleted the tinder app just in case.". i check my phone for the time.

marina shakes her head. "girl you don't gotta lie to her if you just friends."

i turn and look at her. "i just dont want to tell her rina, i wanna try to get over her in peace." i say.

i know i wanted to make her jealous, but now i was scared. she was crazy, and i didn't want put diana in that position, she'd have no chance against billie.

i look down and i see billie texted me saying she was here. i grab my wallet and phone, and say bye to marina. adryana wasn't home she was out with tony.

i walk outside and i see billie waiting outside for me in her car. i could see that car from anywhere, it was the only matte car i've ever seen.

i open the door and sit down, and she leans over and kisses my cheek. "you look sexy miss ava." she says, smirking.

i blush and roll my eyes. "friends, billie. but thank you."

she winks. "special friends."

we drive around and she goes to the house. "i have to make like two plays, then we can go get food or something." i nod as she walks out, going inside.

i look around and i see a red car, it looks familiar. i squint and then i hear the door, she was already back.

we drove to popeyes after made her plays, because i literally begged her too. we ordered food from the drive thru, i order so much food and she barely got any compared to me.

i was eating and she was staring at me. "how are you not fat as fuck?" she says.

i laugh while eating. "i'm dominican, we eat a lot. my parents fed me and adry like it was christmas every night."

we kept eating and i look at her. she was wearing her louis vuitton bandana, with a louis vuitton sweatsuit, with all her chains. her fingers full of rings, but i could still see all her tattoos on her hands.

"like what you see or something?" she says, i immediately thought of when she asked me that at school.

i roll my eyes. "just the eyes." i say, eating my biscuit.

she smirks. "just because we're friends doesn't mean you have to lie about how attracted you are to me, ava." she was staring right into my eyes.

my whole body felt like it was on fire. i get a throbbing feeling in my lower area and i cross my legs, looking away. she always knew how to get to me.

she puts her hand on thigh. "don't look away from me, i want to see the effect i have on you." she whispers.

i slowly turn back facing her, and she was staring at me, then started looking me up and down.

i try to save it and roll my eyes. "i only look at you like this because you bought me something to eat. sorry." i say, shrugging my shoulders.

she raises an eyebrow and smirks. "i think i have something i'd like to eat."

i look at her with wide eyes. "you're really bad at this friend thing billie. " i say laughing, trying to distract myself from what she just said.

she laughs. "special friends. so it's okay."

i shake my head and i drop my fork, i put my phone on the middle console and go to pick it up.

"who's diana?" i hear billie say.

oh no, what did i do.

i jump up. "what?" i look over and diana's facetiming me.

she looks down at my phone and i grab it, declining it quickly.

her face turns cold. "who is it?" she asks with an attitude.

"my friend." i say, emotionless.

she raises an eyebrow. "you don't have friends. so who is she?"

i frown. "first of all, ouch. second, she is my friend." i say, trying to lie.

she grabs my phone from my hand, and of course i still dont have a passcode, she goes in and starts to read our messages.

i try to grab my phone and she grabs my wrist, holding it down, as she uses the other hand to read.

"she calls you beautiful and you guys are suppose to fucking meet up tomorrow? ha" she says, as her jaw clenches.

"i met her on instagram, i just wanted a friend billie." i said, quietly.

"you send your friends a bunch of pictures and they call you beautiful as fuck with fucking thirsty ass emojis? stop fucking lying to me." she spats, still scrolling.

i don't say anything. i'm so dumb. she's gonna be up my ass.

she sees a picture she sent me, and her eyes widen. she then raises an eyebrow. "a dyke huh? no." she says, then throws my phone against the dashboard.

i flinch. "stop billie. what do you mean no? she's my friend! stop it please." i say, starting to get nervous.

she glares at me. "i mean no. you arent going." she says coldly.

i look at her. who was she to tell me i can't go? "you cant tell me no billie." i say with attitude.

she laughs mockingly. "you're mine."

my heart stops. she just said we are friends. and now she wants to say i'm hers? this girl makes no sense.

i look at her, glaring. "you can't tell me no. i'm not yours. we are friends." i say.

she shoots me a dirty look, and then glares. "you are mine. i don't care if we're friends. you belong to me."

i'm starting to get annoyed. "she is my fucking friend billie, and no i'm not. stop fucking saying
that." i yell. i pick up my phone, and it's cracked. it's not bad, but still cracked.

she ignores me and starts driving. she was speeding through traffic.

i look at her. "billie please slow down, you're scaring -"

"shut the fuck up." she spats.

i just stay silent the rest of the ride. when she pulls up to my house i grab my stuff and i step out, before i close the door, i look at her.

"billie -" i begin to say, but she just speeds off, so fast that it closes the door for me.

i groan and walk up to my door, when i walk in, i go to adryanas room and i tell marina and adry everything. they're shook of course, telling me she's crazy and more. i was so angry she cracked my phone and tried telling me what to do. but i got what i wanted. she was jealous, more then jealous. i was turned on slightly, but she was crazy. but i wasn't gonna cut her off completely. she made me feel differently then anyone ever has. i liked diana, she was nice, and so based off everything so far, she was good to me. she did things billie didn't, but i didn't feel right. i liked how billie was, flaws and all.

i go to my room and lay back on my bed. i go on my phone and sigh. i can't cancel on diana now. i didn't want to really, but i kinda did. i hated seeing billie so mad at me, but we were friends. i couldn't let billies feelings get in the way of my life.

i throw my phone on beside me, and close my eyes. this is gonna be a mess.

***

billies pov.

i drive off her street, and i immediately pull over. i start punching the wheel and i put my face in hands. who did ava thing she was? she belonged to me. she couldn't talk to anyone else that way. does she remember what i did to jayvin at the party? he's my friend so he was lucky. if it was any random dude or bitch, i wouldn't hesitate to pull that trigger. ava is mine. MINE. and i don't care whether we are friends or not. she is mine.

i felt sick looking through those messages, she kept saying they were friends, but i know when she's lying. i could see it in her face. i was beyond angry. she was scared, but at that moment i didn't care how she felt.

they were meeting up tomorrow, and at first i wasn't gonna let it happen. i was just gonna make her stay with me all night, and i know she would've stayed. she was attracted to ME, she wanted ME. the thought of her touching someone else made me sick. but, i did something. when she wasn't paying attention, i shared her location with myself, so i could go to where she was tomorrow. either i was gonna put a bullet in between this diana bitch's eyes, or i was gonna start a scene and make ava come with me. i don't give a fuck what consequences come with it. dont fuck with what's mine.

i type in her name on instagram, i memorized
it when i saw it on ava's messages. @dianatyb.  i scroll through all her pictures and i cringe. she wasn't bad, but not on ava's level. i don't think i am any better, but ava thought i was perfect. so i didn't care.

i put my phone down and i begin to drive again, thinking about it over and over. ava and this girl will not happen. i will not let it. i don't care what it takes. i'll kill this bitch, with no remorse. ava know it too, that's why she was saying they were friends.

but it's too late, diana will soon learn.

that ava belongs to me.
