เข้าสู่ระบบ~Lexi~ I open my eyes to the sight of an iron rod striking the floor. It kept moving back and forth as if the person holding it was withholding. I strain my eyes trying to look further but nothing, absolutely nothing. I was dizzy and my head out of space. I cannot even picture where I am. I feel numb as if my body is not knowing how to respond to anything, I can’t even properly process the fact that I’ve been hijacked. Just then it hit me. The smell of the iron, the expensive perfume filling the hair, the oil spillage on the ground, the smell of gas faint in the air. I was in a gas station. Could it be the same one I was in yesterday? But if it’s the same one, how? Where? Is there an abandoned gas station, is it an abandoned gas station? But this looks like an enclosed space, where exactly am I? “Oh look, the princess is finally awake” a faint voice echoed “Took her long enough” the other followed. I try to force a sound out of me but nothing, nothing at all “I…I…” I try t
~Zade~The first thing I noticed was the silence.Not the kind that fills a room after an argument, the other kind. The kind that means someone’s gone. I got to find Lexi, her doors were open. Her bed well laid, I looked around her room and it was like every trace of her disappeared from the room and it was only the faint smell of her perfume that filled the room. I approached the nightstand at the glance of a paper and there it was, a note,I need space. Please don’t follow.For a second, I just stood there, reading it again and again until the words blurred. Why? Why? Why did she run away? After everything, I thought I could convince her to stay but I guess I was too lateMarcus appeared behind me. “You looking for Lexi?”“She’s gone.”He frowned. “Gone how?”“She left.”His mouth tightened. “When?”“Last night, maybe.” My voice sounded wrong; way too calm for the weight sitting in my chest. “I didn’t hear a car.”Elle’s voice cut from the hallway. “Because she didn’t want you to.”
~Lexi~I woke to the sound of my phone buzzing nonstop.? At first, I thought it was the alarm. Then I saw the notifications.Hundreds. Maybe thousands.What the actual hell. I thought it had been clear yesterday but no people who were patiently waiting for my downfall really saw this as an opportunity, while many of the videos insulted Becca and pointed her as an opportunistic diva, the remaining few talked about my relationship with Zade, why are they so invested in my business@celebupdates: “Is Lexi Reynolds dating her best friend’s brother?”#LexiLies #ZadeScandal #CancelledQueenEvery headline was a punch to the stomach. These people are crazy. I wouldn’t care less if it had not been affecting my brand deals. I got addicted to reading the hate comments even though they were majority who were supporting me, I just got addicted to it. I came across screenshots from the party. Freeze-frames of Becca’s smirk. Someone had slowed the video so it looked like Zade was reaching for me. The
~Lexi~“I don’t care what evidence you have, even if my brother and Lexi were or are together, it would be better than being with either you or Josh over there. Now without any further talks, I’d suggest you leave—” Elle said“Oh but I won’t, you all will see exactly—”“What a cheater you are right. Just because I didn’t say anything to humiliate you doesn’t mean I don’t know what you’ve been up to” Zade pauses “Security!!Take this slut away” he says before turning to face me“Lexi, are you alright?” he asks with worry on his face “you fucked up Zade, you really did” I whispered to him before walking away with Elle’s eyes facing me looking with disgust, but the damage had already been done.“Party’s over, get going” Marcus announced.~Zade~Morning came too bright. The kind of light that makes the mess from the night before impossible to ignore. Empty glasses on the deck. A broken railing. A stain from Becca’s words that no one could scrub out. I loved the way Lexi was, not breaking t
~Lexi~I didn’t sleep after the party. The house was quiet, waves hitting the shore like a heartbeat that wouldn’t stop. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Zade pushing Becca away, glass breaking, everyone staring. Then his face, cold, unreadable, walking out into the dark. I stand up from the bed. “Where to?” Elle asked. “Somewhere to clear my mind” I reply. “Well don’t stay out late” she says as she goes back to sleep. I walk out of the beach house, more than ready to sit near the ocean and feel the breeze on my skin. The ocean breeze and the scent of nature hit me at once and in that moment, I felt so relaxed like I’ve never felt before. I walk towards the ocean and sit on the sand and all my emotions started pouring out like water, I couldn’t help put sigh and then the tears came. Just then I got a notification on my phone and I so badly prayed it was not the same girl. I know Josh has a girlfriend, I just hate the thought of being the other woman, I tried so badly to convince mys
~Zade~The ride down to the coast felt longer than it should have. Elle kept humming to the radio, Luke kept talking, Marcus kept cracking jokes, and all I could think about was the quiet girl staring out the window beside Josh. I hated that she was there, right there with Josh. Miles was driving the luxury bus. We decided last minute to take the bus as we didn’t want to be separated by taking cars. The driver who was meant to take over decided to cancel last minute, so Miles had to take over last minute as the rest of us were way too tired to drive. Lexi hadn’t even glanced my way, it felt so bad. I kept staring at her but it seems she was very uncomfortable and when our eyes met, she looked away without giving it a thought. i bend to pick something that fell down and notice Josh hands on her laps, ouch.“We’ve arrived animals” Miles says.The new beach house was everything Marcus had promised. They were three floors of white stone and glass facing an endless blue horizon. The ocean
~Lexi~By the time we got downstairs, Miles and Zade were already there“I thought you guys wanted to watch a movie, what happened?” Marcus asked as if ready to tease us“Oh, we thought you guys wanted to join” I say teasingly to Marcus and he replies “Oh, so you agree, what’s the catch baby girl”
~Lexi~I know Zade knows we’re lying but I couldn’t care less, last night was fun and it is definitely going in my vlog as best nights in L.A. I go into the room to see that Elle had already dozed off. I wake her up and tell her to go and freshen up and I’ll just use the biggest room bathroom. “No,
~Zade~ The thought of having Josh and Lexi cozy up to each other made me sick to the stomach and now she’s telling me she wants him in the beach house, okay good then, I’ll explain what he actually is then. She sat close to Josh, too close. Elle and Luke were throwing snacks at each other, Marcus w
~Lexi~I was caught by surprise upon stumbling into the house. Zade friends were around, at least my dress wasn't as bad as the one they normally see me in. I remember a time, I was just waking up from a peaceful afternoon nap when Zade and his buddies decided it would be fun to surprise me in the
