TWO

[ ii. CHAPTER TWO ]

Considering that Alex's father James Verona gave his daughter a talk about the dangers of heavy drinking, the usage of drugs and how there could possibly be somebody out there who happen to kill Nina and just waiting for the next attack. Just beware. Don't trust anyone. Alex got herself a glass of cold water and just took in what happened today. Nina's gone. Why does this feel like it's just the beginning? Why can't I have a normal life and worry about my hair and boys. She sighed, I should probably get ready for Brooke's party for Nina, she thought.

Alex changed into a different outfit which includes; her black lace up ankle boots, black skinny jeans and a just a simple black shirt with a leather jacket to top it off. She felt her phone vibrate as she applied chapstick. A text from Jake.

I'm here.

She told her dad "I'll be back, in a couple of hours." then locked the door behind her. Alex saw Jake's black truck right in front of her house, walking up to his car he gave her a small smile. "Listen, I'm sorry about what happened in school earlier. I was being insensitive. I'm an idiot, I forgot about what happened to your mom. I just don't want my best friend pissed at me." He apologizes to his best friend. Alex bite her lip and nodded.

"I forgive you. Yes, you are an asshole but you are an asshole that I completely adore." she over exaggerated a bit with her acceptance for his apology and also with the cheek pinching.

Alex slowly stroked his cheek looking at him in awe for a brief second. She went back to reality and realized what she was doing and stopped. Alex had always thought her best friend was attractive. Looking at the road then back at her best friend. "We should probably go to the party." she told him. "Yeah, we should." Jake started the engine and shot her a smile.

"So, Brooke where's your dad?" Alex asks scanning through the crowd. Alex already spotting Jake already taking shots with the basketball team. "Quinn has a lady friend in town. I have a party, he gets laid. It's the circle of life." Brooke answers. "Parental sex. TMI." Will mentions, Alex took a notice of his jiggery movements. "Calm down, you're like a purse dog." she told him. "What is wrong with you?" Brooke asks Will.

"I'm sorry, coach is riding my ass. We're supposed to have a scout from Duke at tomorrow's game." Will answers. "The scout will be blown away tomorrow. So tonight, relax." Emma reassures him, grabbing his hand to pull him closer. "Make me."

Alex made a gagging noise with Brooke, then made a face. "I'd say get a room, but I don't want the cleanup." Brooke comments. Alex looked over at Brooke and noticed her staring at something. Then she saw Audrey and Noah arriving. Brooke immediately walks towards the awkward pair.

"Hi Audrey! How are you?" Brooke pulling one of the most fake acts Alex ever seen. "Hey Noah." Alex greeted, flashing a smile. She has always been friendly with the horror movie fanatic. "Good, thanks. You know Noah." Audrey greets. "I have a little place like this in the Hampton's." Noah said.
