Third POV

Alex smiled at Ethan as they walked down the hall to first period. Alex has first period with him and Billie, that's the only reason she found the class bearable.

"Anyway, I'm taking her out again this Friday." He grinned while looking at the floor as we walked.

"Oh my god, dude. Thats great! When do I get to meet her?" Alex asked as she wiggled her brows up and down, practically jumping with excitement.

It was the first time Ethan found a girl that he really liked. She could tell from the way he would talk about her, she was someone special and Alex was really happy for him.

"I was thinking we could all hang out next week, yknow? She could meet all of you guys that way." He sent her a half smile.

"Sounds like a plan. Imma go to the bathroom before first period." Alex stated.

She didn't have time to pee this morning. She woke up a little later than usual, meaning she had to wait for everyone else to use the bathroom. And by the time everyone finished, it was really late. She literally had to brush her teeth in the kitchen sink.

Alex quickly walked into the bathroom and made her way into the stall. She finally let herself pee while releasing a satisfied sigh.

After doing her business, she walked out, only to bump into someone, quite harshly.

Alex looked up at the girl and immediately gasped.

"Holy shit, Andrea. What the hell happened to you?" Alex said in shock.

To say that Andrea looked busted, was an understatement. It was completely bruised under her left eye. It literally looked green and blue and the side of her bottom lip was completely swollen like a bloody bubble. Alex couldn't help but cringe at the sight of her so called best friend.

Andrea turned to face her and quickly dropped her annoyed facial expression into a sad one.

She burst into tears and put her head on Alex's shoulder.

"Who the hell did this to you?" Alex asked while stroking Andrea's hair, which was completely covered in knots.

"It was your psycho friend. B-billie." she whimpered and continued crying.

"What do you mean? Billie would never.." Alex trailed off before realizing something. She knew Billie practically hated Andrea. But Billie wouldn't just beat the shit out of Andrea for no reason, would she?

Alex pushed her thoughts to the side realizing she was going to be skipping first period to take care of Andrea. She had to help her clean up. She couldn't just leave her here. Alex also couldn't help but feel a little guilty because of Billie's actions, if she really did this.

"C'mere." Alex said while guiding Andrea to the sink.

She grabbed a paper towel and wet it slightly before dabbing it onto the cuts on Andrea's cheek.

Andrea winced as Alex tried her best to clear off the dry blood around her cheek and lip.

"I just...I don't understand. Why would Billie do this to you?" Alex furrowed her eyebrows and looked down.

"Because she's crazy. She literally threw me against the wall and told me to stay away from you. She's literally psycho, Alex. I'm telling you this because I care about you but.." Andrea stopped and tucked a piece of Alex's hair behind her ear, "I love you, so much. And it would kill me to see someone hurt you like Billie hurt me. That girl is bad news. I just want what's best for you." Andrea said with a sad smile.

Alex's face held an unreadable expression. She looked down and played with her fingers as her bottom lip jutted out.

"I-I'm so sorry she did this to you. I didn't know she would do anything like this." Alex said in a low voice. She felt so bad she couldn't even look Andrea in the eyes.

"Baby, it's okay." Andrea smiled, while putting a hand under Alex's chin and raised it so their eyes met. She pulled Alex into a hug as a smirk broke into her face.

Andrea knew she won. She pulled away sniffing as she looked at Alex. "Is my mascara running?" she asked.

'A marathon.' Alex thought. but didn't say anything as she shook her head no.

Billie huffed as she stared at the classroom door. "Where the fuck is she?" Ethan asked in confusion.

"She's not replying to my texts." Billie sighed as she slouched forward, resting her elbows on her knees. She ran her hand through her hair and put her phone by her ear as she tried calling Alex one more time.

"Hope I'm not interrupting your call, Miss Eilish." Miss Carpenter, her history teacher said, while putting a hand on her hip.

"Nah, you're good." Billie said waving her off, causing a few students to snicker and laugh as Miss Carpenter's small figure practically fumed with anger.

"Get off your phone, or get out of my classroo-"

Billie interrupted her teacher by leaving the class and slamming the door behind her, trying to call Alex one last time.

She ran her hands through her hair trying to figure out what happened. What if Andrea got to her or hurt her? What if she still found a way to post the video?

Billie's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by her phone ringing. Billie quickly answered.

"Hel-"

"What the fuck did you do to Andrea?" Alex asked sounding very alarmed and pissed.

"Dang, Im fine how are you?" Billie asked sarcastically.

"Billie, cut the shit. This is serious." Alex hissed. Someone talking in the background caught Billie's attention. Billie furrowed her brows.

"Wait, who was that?" Billie pressed.

"Bil, I cant do this righ-"

"I said, who the fuck was that?" Billie growled as her jaw clenched.

"It-It's Andrea. You're really not in the position to be asking questions, yknow." Alex sassed, her voice laced with anger.

"Look, I need to talk to you. Now. Stay away from her, okay? Come to our spot by the beach. I'll explain everything." Billie quickly said as she hung up and walked to their bench by the beach.
