Lexi“I'm sorry miss Lexi but there is nothing I can do. Your brother committed a crime, a grave one at that. Possession of hard drugs on school grounds is highly prohibited not to mention against the law,”“I understand that, but he stated he wasn't the owner of the backpack, that at least should give him some type of leverage, please. He needs this. This his entire life”I pleaded, trying to get him to see reason but from the look in his eyes and his incredibly stoic expression, I knew I was losing the battle.A tired sigh mixed with a little irritation escaped his lips and he clasped his hands on his mahogany desk.When we entered the office, It was the first thing we noticed. A huge mahogany desk with barely anything on it except a laptop and a bowl of nearly arranged pen. The man seemed to be a minimalist. No pictures of his or his family anywhere, if he had one. However, his plaques and awards decorated the wall and it was then I realized, there was no way pleading with him was

Lexi “Alright, Champagne or tequila?” Rhea asked as soon as her butt hit the chair. We were in a cheap bar downtown. One we found after driving around for an hour. We'd gone to an expensive one earlier in the evening but it was infinitely boring. Not that I minded at all, but Rhea and Evelyn wanted something more down-to-earth and fun, and because they were sponsoring me, I didn't have much of a choice, nor did I care to make one. Mere minutes after we found ourselves a seat in this new bar, I was already sure they'd made the right decision. The music was loud, and the place was filled with people either dancing, drinking, or talking. “Definitely tequila and vodka,” Evelyn said with a huge grin. She was champagne tipsy and it left a cute blush on her face. “Coming right up.” Rhea smiled as she waved a waitress over to us. “Hello, Welcome to Grace's bar, what can I get you?” “A bottle of tequila and three shot glasses, please,” “What do you want, Lexi? Root Beer?” Rh

- Lexi “We need to talk,” he said, his voice firm, his expression unreadable—bordering on angry. What right did he even have to be upset? He was the one encroaching on my life like some parasite with a tracking device mm “There's nothing to talk about,” I scowled. "Just leave me alone,” I added, trying to close the door, but he stuck his leg between the door. “We are going to talk whether you like it or not, Lexi.” “Excuse me?” “You're excused,” he said coolly, then pushed the door open and stepped inside. Without waiting for permission, he walked into my living room and dropped a takeout bag on the coffee table. “Food,” he pointed. “You can't just barge into…” “I know, and I'm sorry, but we can't keep doing this cat-and-mouse game, it's driving me insane,” I scoffed, completely in disbelief. He had some nerves barging into my sanctuary and telling me what to do? “There is no cat and mouse game. It's simply that I hate you, and you… you're everywhere,” I ye

LexiAs soon as I got to the hospital, I flew out of my car and ran into the huge white and grey building.The smell of cleaning products hit me like a ton of bricks, assaulting my poor nostrils as I whooshed through the hallway.I was almost hit by paramedics taking an accident victim in.“Sorry!” One of them yelled.I ignored it, making a beeline for the reception desk.“Hi, I'm looking for my mom. Ms Cameron. She was brought in here by my brother, Jace,”“Oh, you're Jace's sister,’ she said with a smile. “He told me to look out for you. I'll let him know you're here,”She picked up her phone and dialed a number. "Jace, your sister's here," she said, then gave me a reassuring nod. "He'll be right out,”“Thanks,” I managed a smile.I shifted on my feet, worrying clawing at my skin. My palm was sweaty and I kept trying to rub off the sweat on my jeans.“Lex!” I heard my brother call.I turned and ran to him.“How is she?”I asked, with obvious worry in my voice.“She's stable now but

Lexi“Well?” I folded my arms, waiting for an explanation from my brother.There was no way in hell he found 20,000 dollars so fast.Jace sighed, shoving his hands into his pockets.“Can we worry about this later?”“No, we can't. The last time I worried about something later, I ended up losing a job. Tell me where you got the money.”“I told you, a friend lent it to me.”I scoffed at that.“Please, don't tell me it's one of your drug dealer friends.”“It's not, goodness, Lex,”“Really? So where did you get twenty grand from, Jace?”“From a friend.”“Okay, fine. How do you plan on paying back?”“We'll figure it out after Mom's surgery, okay?”I didn't like this. I didn't like it one bit, but he was right. I should be grateful he'd been able to come up with the full amount on such short notice, but that meant I'd have to get a job as soon as possible to pay off this debt, too. “Jace. We can't risk any trouble right now…”Just then, the door to the ward creaked open, and in walked a bro
