It's been a week since I left lizzie's (Elizabeth) house in a rush to come home for bianca and I still haven't gotten a text from her, usually we see eachother once a week or even right the next day, maybe shes just busy.

"I can hear your thoughts clear from over here!" Bianca yells from the kitchen. "Stop thinking about her man!"

"I'm not thinking about her!" I yell back.

Our bickering continues until we decide to just watch a final movie before she has to get going.

"I'll see you soon right?" I ask while shs finishes packing her last few things.

"Of cour-" she gets interrupted by my phone ringing.

I jump off the bed to check and see its its Elizabeth calling, but it's not.

"Is it your brother again?" She asks with a annoyed look on her face.

"It doesn't matter" I say hanging up.

"C'mon man they are all trying to get ahold of you for a reason, why don't you just-"

I cut her off "because! I don't want to hear what stupid shit they have to say to me!" I yell back slamming my hand on the nightstand beside the bed.

"Well what If they just want to hear about you? Know how you are doing?"

"Well what if they are not! I can't live knowing my family fucking hates me!" I yell back trying to hold back the tears that are threatening to spill over.

She comes closer to me and puts a ber hands in mine "they aren't family if they are going to treat you like garbage love" she's been pretty different with me this last week and sometimes I feel uncomfortable only cause I'm not so used to having someone like that.

"I know, but still" I look down trying to avoid her gaze as I blink away the tears.

"Hey, look at me" she puts her hand under my chin to pick my head up to meet her eyes.

She stares at me and I don't miss the way her eyes flicker down to my lips for a split second.

WHAT IS SHE DOING!?

She slowly moves in and I don't know what to do, I don't see her in that way, shes like a sister to me but I dont want to make her feel awkward.

I'm about to ask her what she's doing but her phone interrupts and makes us both jump as her phone rings loud.

She picks up,"hello?", "okay thanks" she hangs up and zips up her suit case "my ride is here" she says trying to avoid my gaze.

"Oh, okay"

She walks out of the room with her suitcase in hand and bag in her other, I follow behind her not knowing if what barely happened did actually happen.

She stops at the front door and turns around, she drops everything and hugs me ons last time, " I'll be back sooner than you'll know!"

She doesn't even let me answer before she pulls away and walks out closing the door behind her.

I go back to the room she was staying in and throw myself back down on it dramatically.

I decide to finally call Elizabeth instead of waiting for her.

I dial her number and it rings three times before I hear nothing, thinking maybe she just hung up or something before I hear, "hello?" Her voice is very raspy like if she just woke up or like if shes been crying.

"Liz?"

I hear shuffling than hear her clear her throat, "lexa?" Her voice sounds a little less raspy.

"Are you okay?" I ask trying not to sound to intrigued.

"Yeah, yeah, what's up?"

"I was just-" I get cut off when I hear her little boy

"Mommy, are you okay?" I can hear Alex's voice a little, "yeah bunny go back to bed" I hear more shuffling, "I heard you crying and you always tell me to drink water after crying so i brought you some" he sounds a lot closer now like if he climbed onto her bed, "i wasn't crying, look mommy's on the phone give me a minute okay?"

"Elizabeth I'm coming over" I don't know if she heard me or not but I hang up before she can protest against it.

By the time I'm already at Elizabeth's house I just now realize I'm not using any pants only a oversized t-shirt and my underclothes.

Before I get out of my car I look for maybe some pants or shirt if anything a dress will do, but all I find is a sweater, lucky it's a oversized one that I keep in here just incase if anything.

I slip it on real quick and than grab my phone turn off the car and take my keys, as I walk up to the door I push the button and lock my car, I ring the bell a couple of times until I hear voices from the other side of the door.

Not quite being able to make out the words I was still able to recognize that it was her ex husband who was talking with her and i could soon hear them getting closer and closer.

The door opens right as I was starting to have second thoughts abt coming over, "just call me if you need anything, I know things didn't work between us but I still care about you and-" right as hes about to say more he finally realizes I'm standing at the door.

"Oh, you're Elizabeth's friend, right?" He knows me? Does she talk abt me? Do her kids talk abt me? Yeah it must be her kids.

"Yeah.." I say awkwardly.

"Elizabeth talks about you, you seem like a pretty great friend always coming over when she needs you" wow he's very blunt to what I actually do to her.

"Yeah, thank you" I'm about to say hi to liz when I just now realize she does have a little bit of puffy eyes like of she was crying not to long ago.

"Okay well the kids are in my car asleep poor things, nice meeting you" he walks away into his car and drives off.

Once he drives off I finally look back at Elizabeth.

I start to walk closer letting myself in, "What's wrong?"

Elizabeth's POV

"What's wrong?" She asks as she creeps just a little closer.

She puts her hands on either sides of my cheeks and starts making me look different directions as she checks me out, I'm guessing shes trying to see if I'm hurt or something.

"Yeah I'm okay" I lie only so she won't worry, "just had a little emotional conversation with him is all" another lie.

"Did that mother fucker hurt you!?" She asks letting go of me and turning around maybe checking to see if she can catch up to him to hurt him, which is weird cause she's never acted like this with me.

"Look, I don't mean this in a rude way, but why are you here again? I'm a big girl I can take care of myself"

She doesn't look back at me but I can see her head drop down a little like my words hirt her or maybe cause she now realizes that shes actually here, I don't know.

"I- uh, okay" she doesn't even look back at me and just walks out going back to her car.

Shit! I didn't mean to hurt her or make her feel uncomfortable or anything. "Wait!" I yell as I start going after her "Lexa!" She ignores me and keeps on walking to her car, "please just wait!" I yell as I finally catch up to her and I'm on the side of her trying to keep up my pace.

She still ignores me and unlocks her car with the button on her keys, "lexa c'mon I didn't mean to offend you or hurt you in any way" she just continues what shes doing and gets in her car but before she can close her door I grab it and stand in between it so she can't close the door and leave.

"Please look at me" I almost beg her.

She looks up at me and I can't seem to read her expression, it's like she just blank like there is no way to read her right now.

"I didn't mean what I said"

"Than why the fuck say something you didnt mean?"

"Cause I don't know, I felt like I needed to be alone but when you showed up you made me realize that actually do feel like I need someone right now, even if it's just for sex" as soon as I say the last bit of what I said it seems almost like if I hurt her, like for a split second I could read her but than she turned blank again.

"Please get out of your car and come inside" at this point I feel like I'm pleading but I don't even mind, as long as I have someone with me right now.

She finally gives in and we come inside not without her locking her car, we sit in the living room.

She just looks at me, no not even, I feel like yes shes looking at me but she's more trying to read me or maybe she is reading me and it's kinda scary.

"You're okay" she says, it's weird it's like shes a total different person today.

"Yes I am" I reassure her and than she looks away.
