Alexis made her hair in a ponytail. She did not forget to apply mascara and painted lips with rosy pink lipstick that would be matchable for the summer look. The girl checked her final appearance in the mirror. Great, told herself. White t-shirt, black leather jacket, jeans (of course, she wore Lexy jeans), and a pair of grey sneakers. The same old style but it was her favorite look. Sometimes she wore a pretty dress but jeans always made her feel herself.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡCglOtnuTZf

The girl bit her lips when the older sister bluffed with the amused smile. “Hot sun and jacket?”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡnogn60M4qD
“It’s not that hot,” Alexis defended herself but removed the jacket from her top and roped it on her waist.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82UtQnQlgQ
Inside the room, there were two single beds. The room had been separated into two zones, Bryce’s territory and Alexis’s territory. In Bryce’s space, there was only a country band poster on the table desk and one mahogany guitar. Bryce was very good at singing and playing guitar but she rarely showed it because of the shyness character. Alexis played guitar too but compared to her sister, it was like the talent and the wannabe. Bryce’s belongings were in order while Alexis’s was a little bit messy and seemed to intrude the sister’s territory. The younger attached many posters of the singer and songwriter named ‘Carmen’ on the wall including her other favorites actors and actresses. Moreover, on her own desk, there were many photos of her friends decorated. At the corner of the shelf next to the desk, a plastic crown hung on the piles of books and it nearly fell on the ground.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtfPPz1MMh
“When I went away, you ruined our room.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9F4xM5jRv
“I didn’t!” Alexis denied but started to collect her belongings in order.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0xRtofkJv
Among the photos, one that Alexis loved so much was the photo of three pretty young girls wrapping their hands around each other’s necks, smiling to the camera. The tallest girl in the center wearing basketball apparels smiling broadly was Alexis. The auburn-haired girl on the right side named June Joyce, Alexis’s best friend since kindergarten. The girl looked beautiful as Alexis but more maturely gorgeous than her friend who was a little childish. It might be because of those fierce emerald green eyes and the scornful smile that made the girl had the eyes of the grown-up who had experienced many bad things. The left side named Elodie Li, a pretty small girl with dark brown silky hair. The girl smiled brightly like the morning sun. The photo had been taken recently after the final match against Amora Team from Riverland District. Although San Bosa team lost, it was the most memorable match because they had never reached the final competition before. It was the second biggest news reported by San Bosa Post (smaller than San Bosa Soccer Team won the trophy of High School Soccer Championship.) In the photo, the three young ladies might look like very close friends (Alexis also wished too); however, two girls on the left and the right loved each other like cats and dogs.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡakZqaPZcBL
“How’s June and Edie? Do they get along?”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpV9tsWyMN
“The second apocalypse still has the brighter future than their relationship.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JNBBh0QBK
Bryce chuckled.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM5lcgacsL
Alexis thought of how Jesse questioned why June and Elodie were stuck in the same group. Well, it was not easy to understand girls’ rationality even though she was a girl too.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVaS5Dl1c7
The beginning of the trio began when June, who was the most beautiful girl in the school that boys dreamed of, and Elodie, one of the most popular girls and the captain of the cheerleading team made the agreement. June’s mother used to have some big roles in the film industry around twenty years ago and forced her daughter to dream big. As June had to bear her mother’s expectations and gained a small reputation like the other children of celebrities, she had the habit of keeping distance to people and thinking everyone was below her. She regarded Alexis as one and only friend. At the school, although June was the star, she was the kind of a girl that girls hated but wanted to be. For Alexis’ friendship with Elodie, it began in the literature class. Elodie came to sit with Alexis during lunchtime more often. At first, June got paranoid to see ‘the other’ sitting with her but as their group gained a lot of attention because Elodie could call her team and other sport teams to sit with them. That was why June accepted the new member. They became the influencers and the ‘cool people’ of the school society. How cool was it to be a celebrity even in the school? Alexis might not like how they agreed to make the terms of building ‘the image’ but she admitted that being one of the most popular group made her life in the high school be one of the best moments.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgRCSsUTiw
Alexis still persuaded Bryce to leave the study desk. “Just leave your books for a day…not a day exactly, just three or four hours. They won’t blame you, I guarantee that.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFiJ0vZaHs
Bryce was really stubborn. She insisted on studying during her short vacation. The big sister eyed on the younger, annoyed, “I cannot leave the house. I have to memorize every word. If I can eat them, I eat.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFn7ytLTuX
“Just chill out. You can continue your reading at night. Please, for Monkey. Edie comes too.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jeSW6kRZD
“Too many people. You can exclude me.” copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDiFmjbmuS
Alexis placed her elbow on the sister’s chair. “I called Davy but he didn’t answer the phone. Well, he doesn’t know I come back. Maybe he’s busy. I’ll visit his house to check if he’s there. Jesse and Edie will take Charlie to the mall first. You can go with them. I meet you there. Please Please Please!” copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqxcy6FjZa
“I can’t.” Bryce moved her chair to free from the younger sister. “You will understand me, Alex. Soon. I know even a brain like you can’t make it easy.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0tvTqBdhB
Alexis sighed. “Okay, so do you want anything?” The girl raised the white flag.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFe9kBtwYX
“Poppy Gelato’s chocolate mint,” she made the order. Alexis groaned, “Grrrr, I love rich chocolate and I don’t want to eat all the quart!”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMoWZW2Ff2
“You can eat it for a week.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw3j2WJDa1
“You know it’s hard! How can people eat ice-cream and save it for another day? We must eat them all.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1Gtb15Ex3
Bryce turned her head from side to side. “Stop being dramatic. Rich chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, all you love is only chocolate without anything else except milk and sugar. Boring.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWQ0TPWWuc
“I love chocolate almonds and macadamia or added salt caramel.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjJ2CLZmp9
“How different! Look at the time! Hurry young lady, the two gentlemen may be rooting the floor.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEb47n5d2C
“They may get out already.Don’t worry Mom, see you.” Alexis closed the door. Instead of getting their butts out of the house, Alexis saw Elodie laughing with her two brothers. They should get out right now but they seemed to have the fun time together at home. Sometimes, Alexis thought if Jesse preferred girls, Elodie might be his first choice because they were really getting along well and Jesse liked Elodie as if she was another his sister.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEz6EsWBor
Well, another sister.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnKxqnjpKI
“Sorry,” Alexis interrupted. Charlie jumped in his happiness. “Yeah, can we go now? Where’s Bryce?”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8nKcv7hI9
Alexis made the sad face, “She insists on studying so there’re only us and maybe Davy. But tell me why you guys’re still here.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZOu5tW24l
Elodie stood up, “Oh, I forget to tell you. I’ll go with you.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTJeq9CKym
The girl in white t-shirt looked fixedly at her friend in disbelief because she wanted to visit her boyfriend’s house alone. That’s not the deal. Elodie forced Alexis through her eyes, “Just agree with me”.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7vQSHmZZ4
The big boy switched his eyes from the sister and her friend, did not understand what they were playing.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U3Yo9rlcw
“Hey, young ladies, so?” Jesse asked.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFpqUQzwA7
“Okay, as she said,” Alexis told them. Jesse was still skeptical but grabbed Charlies’ hand anyway then walked out of the house. Alexis and Elodie followed. Her friend brought her own bicycle. Charlied sat behind Jesse and Alexis used the other one.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4foV76h76
“You said you want to go with him,” Alexis spoke out since her brothers were gone.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh0qfpzGLM
The small girl smiled tiredly, “Sorry Alex, I change my mind. He doesn’t like me, not at all, just a sister’s friend. It’s good to be with him but it hurts too when he keeps talking about his Joshua. And he loves to talk about him.” She paused for a while as if just realized something important. “I’m sorry. I forget you may want to sneak into Davy’s bedroom and whisper at his ear ‘wake up, darling’ so you can see his top naked. Davy may sleep in his boxer. Right?”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsrCSlsrS3
The brunette hair groaned.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM8Oa3Whk3
“Tada! Surprise! Muah-Muah,” Elodie laughed mockingly. “Or…more than a kiss?”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGlo6AOGhz
“Shut up.” Alexis rushed to the bike with her red face. “If you won’t stop, I tell Jesse how you feel about him.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu1U7TgAk8
Smiling in victory, Alexis knew her friend would not dare. Elodie hit her arm and rushed to her own bike with the red face. copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUUMI5PFn9
“Oh, almost forget.” Alexis gave a lipstick palette to her friend.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKQ49XFXDW
“What?” Elodie’s eyes widened. “I love you!” She locked on Alexis’s neck. “You get if for free? I start to like your job.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6ry0ysh9N
“Of course not. You think I’m the big one? I got the discount from the senior. And this perfume is for June.” Alexis showed the small pink diamond-shape bottle. “I saw it on her wishlist.” Elodie closed her mouth when her friend mentioned the rival’s name.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNHkzqqo5N
“You called her too?”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOyoSHmxF0
“No. I don’t like the cold war between you and her. I just think about visiting her house this evening. Of course, without you. Come on! We already graduated Edie.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡud6VM7ueoD
“So what? She hates me. I hate her. Nothing can fix that.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OqJ9Z9zoe
“Okay…okay.” Alexis surrendered her friend and dared not mention anything about June anymore so they could ride to Davy’s house together without any quarrel.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW3VlWCHti
**********copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYvOUhWpwl
Davy’s house located on the south avenue, a little bit bigger than the Davis’. When the two girls arrived at his place, it seemed like there was nobody in the house except that his bike was still there but the car was gone, which meant only the parents were absent since it was a business day.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yathjtqTR
“He’s here. Why doesn’t he answer the phone?” Alexis murmured to herself.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfNIb9FNR8
“He glued himself to the bed,” Elodie said. “Does he snore?”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z7Cn1Ukqr
Alexis pretended that she did not hear the question. But as she turned her head, Alexis saw the mysterious bike near the garage. It was painted orange, June’s favorite color.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtZQXg9qH2
Not only the color, but it was her friend’s bike. copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡini66tfLh6
Elodie followed her eyes and muttered, “Actually, I thought about talking about it for a while but since I have no clear evidence…”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoF1133Vou
Looking into Elodie’s eyes, Alexis saw her meaning so the girl slightly shook her head in denial. Davy was her first love and would be the last. They went steady for a year and everything went smoothly. He had no characteristics of being a cheater and the fact that June was her best friend could clear any suspicion.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4YlUVC4mk
“They’re friends, like you and him, come on…” Elodie restrained her hand and whispered. “Try not to make a sound. Don’t lie to yourself. Why June’s with your boyfriend when his parents are not home and they think YOU-are-out-of-town.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EHqLNU0yc
“She’s our friend, our best friend.” Alexis tried to deny Elodie’s suspect and ignored the bad thought that paraded in her head. “You’re close to him too. You know he’s not like that.” The girl had not realized how she stressed her words to make herself believe in it. Her heart beat like crazy as if it wanted to break out from her chest.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sANuBQxxf
“Please let me correct, first, she’s your best friend, not mine and since you joined the modeling agency, I don’t think so. Secondly, Davy is just a boy.” The girl added. “And in general, no one stays with best friend's boyfriend in his house, with or without parents.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TjZfeVSjh
“They may be talking.” Alexis tried to give an excuse for them but the more she spoke the more she looked stupid.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqWURHHLIg
Elodie rolled her eyes, “I hate your over-positive thought. You try to deny it, do you?”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPJyCd9tKH
The sentence was familiar to what Jesse told about her.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMA2LQhHJA
“I’m not over-optimistic! I…”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW1UQSCyEk
“Shhh, okay you’re not but you’re lying to yourself. I know you see my point.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBayaMLjgw
Admittedly, Alexis lost the courage to go inside the house. Her hands were cold and her feet turned numb. Half of her heart believed in Elodie’s suspicion but another half tried not to cause pain to herself because as they were arguing, many invisible needles nailing into her heart.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZiB24sjLc
“We won’t knock the door.” The smaller girl checked on the window. “It’s not locked.” She opened it and tried to climb inside the house.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK8VFZNhys
“Help me!” Elodie urged Alexis.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn3MWdzIxQ
They almost walked on tiptoe but as Davy did not stay at the downstairs, it was easy to sneak up to the upper floor without notice. The more she got closer to his room, the more her heart skipped a beat. Her friend’s logic was making sense but she wished that Elodie was wrong.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyPxaSCDbo
Elodie gradually turned the doorknob; it was not locked again. Suddenly, she pushed the door open. At that time, Alexis’s heart stopped beating completely. She felt grateful that Elodie came with her instead of going out with Jesse so she would not have to see this scene alone.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡP68Y1OYP6w
June and Davy were really together as Elodie suspected, on his bed, under the blanket, arms on arms, both naked. Their clothes scattered around the room. They seemed to have a wild night.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIUlvQz4y7
A trophy flew to them and fell on his stomach. No, it was not Alexis’s work but Elodie who shouted and cursed them like crazy, “See! I told you! Dave, you’re such an IDIOT! And you’re WHORE” Their eyes wide opened, awake and alarmed. Alexis was not sure how she felt at that moment, to be angry, jealous, mad, or disappointed. The only thing she could feel was the empty space in her chest as if the heart was not there anymore.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNGKkQCWuO
I thought we’re in love.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkUtiWigLo
Two best people in her life betrayed her cruelly. Sometimes the emptiness is the worst level of pain. The scene knocked her speechless.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡN27IoCyXH7
How can they do this?copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BULmfBYc6
“Alex, li—li—listen to m—me.” Davy hurriedly wrapped the naked body with the blanket so June had to rush to her clothes trying to cover herself. His beautiful hazel eyes were full of guilty tears. “I—I can explain.” His charming husky voice now turned to hoarse. His mouth was trembling as if he was the criminal and Alexis was the police. His sexy bare chest was painted red by June’s lipstick and interesting bruises that she could imagine how he got them and when she saw the kiss traces on his face, she tried so hard to resist her hands not to throw all the anger on his handsome face.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxqI1JEj0p
Tears gradually flew on two cheeks. Alexis tried not to built waterfalls but the dam was broken. How can they do it? Why does it hurt so much? Alexis thought her life came to the peak and might be better and better until Davy screwed it up.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNsOvQq4O7
My life is nearly perfect. ‘Nearly’ can't be ‘totally’.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTJ6E5mg4y
Their eyes met, June’s and Alexis’. No tears, no pleading, no apology, June stood still and slightly avoided her gaze, trying to get dress in the calm manner as if they were inappropriate to intrude to their room. Alexis could not hear anything until Elodie spoke to her ears.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS5NA7weqw
“Alex! Don’t be sad.” Then she turned her eyes to June and cursed again, “Whore! How can you do it? Both of you!”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7k6WQXnUM
“I’m sorry. I—I—I” And Davy spoke as though he got an instant tonged-tie.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6FedkkzBp
She did not understand why and how they got together when June never showed any sign of interest in Davy and never took her eyes on him. June dreamed of a man, not a boy, a man who was mature and perfect. Of course, Davy was hot and handsome but June always said he was a big baby boy. Yes, he was a boy, shy and untalkative. And Davy, he told her he loved her…, loved like never loved anyone before. They would grow old together, share dream and life. Everything he promised to her from the first day they kissed until the prom night, all had been broken. But of course, June was beautiful…extremely beautiful, the most beautiful…my best…bitch.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YhdMSkj7K
“You love her? Tell me you love each other and I’ll be out. No, I’m out now.” That was the only thing Alexis could say: asking them, sacrifice her love for their love.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLSaRO1PbW
“No” Davy assured. This time, his speech did not betray him. “No!”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG2hVfCfPd
His answer triggered the conflict between them. Two cheaters suddenly met their eyes and June glared at him furiously. The first word she split it out was, “What? No?”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXcXaZPviW
“Come on! You know why you’re here.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8I9jAYkp9
“And why you have me here?”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1QjiLyU1o
“Okay, I let you guys smooth out.” Alexis grabbed Elodie’s arm while Davy caught hers.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HllEwkt2C
“I’m sorry. Yeah, I—I did like June before. It was long ago before I love you. And I love you, Alex. I love you, I do.” He gently touched her face to regain her trust. “It’s m-my fault. I hurt…you, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean it. Please forgive me. Please?”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiL8s4Iqo8
Alexis could hear Elodie tried so hard not give June a mocking laugh but she did not feel like winning to be chosen. In contrast, it made her feel wasted. Watching around the room, seeing the kissing traces on his body and their clothes, Alexis wondered how many times they did it behind her back? And he said he didn’t mean it? Excuse me?copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF9qYscxme
The thing she did not understand at all was why June committed this action. They were best friends for a long time. Was it because Davy became the star midfield, the key to win High School Soccer Championship, and the newest prom king?copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvVhQzNa3P
But...why did she make this ugly decision when she knew well that he belonged to her best friend? Alexis thought her friend loved her like she did.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu8yDADm02
“So June seduced you?” Elodie asked, still stared at her frienemy. They had never been friends even they were in the same pact and both claimed to be Alexis’s best friends.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAHE1G6ddt
“Shut up, no one asks your opinion,” June scowled, still frustrated with Davy.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9YnqOXdZ1
“It’s my false only. I’m sorry.” He turned to June, “I’m sorry to you too.” But her friend could not accept it.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nvbl9LZvL
“You’re such a prick. You want me. You spy on me. You kiss me. You sleep with me. And you say you don’t mean to fuck me. Coward!”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10mJFopMCD
Like another big knife stabbed deeply at her heart, Alexis gave the demanding look to her boyfriend.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4Mdsc2pq2
“Yes, it’s just my curiosity, my fault. I’m just a man! I know you use me just to revenge on Alex. Yes, I’m stupid. I’m selfish.” Davy confessed.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsPXEb6paC
“Wait. Why you have to revenge on me?” Alexis blurted out. This was new to her. “Why June? What happened to us?” The hand that carried the souvenirs shook helplessly due to the anger.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcDyWiWm5y
Alexis locked her eyes with June’s beautiful greens, there were tears in them. It was the first time the girl realized that she had never understood her friend.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkCLy5YBuo
“The bitch’s jealous of you.” It was Elodie who answered that question.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWRtTvE0VP
“Jealous of me?” Alexis hardly believed when the girl in front of her possessed the natural beauty and financial prosperity without effort.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡC61gEYzAkE
“Of course not!” June’s opposed. “Alex, you separate yourself from me. You choose that bitch! Your family loves that bitch more than me! You’re not my friend anymore.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jYM5xR38m
“I don’t choose my friends. You’re both my best friends. I love both of you. Why don’t you talk to me? Why? Did I do any other thing wrong to you?” Alexis asked but it seemed like shouting. “Because I won that plastic prom crown, is it? Tell me!”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMijfcPTcK
“Oh, forget it! It’s not that plastic crown. You left me and you take everything!” She scolded in return.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPQK5vJE63
“I’ve never left you!” Alexis threw the perfume bottle on Davy’s bed. “That’s your wishlist, is it? Tell me June, what did I take from you? This is how you revenge me? By sleeping with him? This is how you try to reclaim what I stole you? Say it!”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfmi1sPTwY
“Don’t force for more. She’s jealous. The bitch should not blame you but her slutty arrogance,” Elodie interrupted the heat conversation between Alexis and June. But it maximized June’s rage. As the former Basketball player, Alexis grabbed the glass of jar, that was flown to Elodie’s direction in time. Elodie’s head was saved.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYLxi0J8UV
“Shut the fuck up, big mouth!”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDLJoQf7vl
“Thanks for your skill, Alex,” said the girl behind her. “She’s mad. Just a toy for your boyfriend.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPBx7D0Xww
“Not a toy!” Alexis unintentionally corrected Elodie’s word. “He’s not my boyfriend anymore,” The girl concluded.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLvGjOH2WB
Davy moved closer trying to beg for forgiveness.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOfJxDAML6
“You know what she thinks?” The one who had been cheated asked the boy while left the jar on the floor. He nodded. “And you still sleep with her instead of telling me?”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WVKu2nuZU
“Alex…it’s just sex,” Davy gave the excuse and it was the bad one.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VFxCZlj1h
“Can I say that when I sleep with other boys?” she hit back.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡV05aKDOlqA
After a short analysis through the fact that he knew how June thought of her but still jumped into the trap, Alexis found the answer. It was not the trap but his own insufficiently sexual greed. The fact that he knew June was her friend, instead of remaining faithfulness, he took the knife and decided to help June stabbing the girl he declared his love to. It was about sex only that he wanted to say. Yes, Alexis agreed with that but it was not the acceptable excuse.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzwnj1qHwq
It did not make her feel better at all. I should believe what adults say! Davy who was standing facing her at this moment was not the Davy she loved, not the one that she sacrificed her innocence for.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxlh4Xgqhi
Alexis did not want to hear anything so she threw the other souvenirs to his face. “I bought them for both of you. Check it. Have to go.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcjMn3qcpQ
Davy was blocking their way.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQqjeJkEqR
“Please, we can fix it,” he begged.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41oqjtozTF
“Get dress.” She told him, “Don’t waste more time, Jesse and Charlie are waiting for us. I don’t want to ruin Charlie’s day. Please excuse me, Mr. Montes.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡRASangeOtD
His tears dropped but they could not move her mind. The mascara on her eyelashes might ruin her face enough. Davy knew he could not fix their relationship. The coldness Alexis gave him made him backed away.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfu5zIOUnf

Her view towards the town changed. The day was not as bright as she had seen it. Alexis had not noticed the clouds before going out.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Py5ohUjE

Alexis tried not to look back at Davy’s house. Jesse and Elodie were right. She had no clue at all, especially for June. Over-positive, over-trusting, she was. It was too late to pull out the knife. This knife was sharp and she would run out of blood.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCnv3Dv5wM
