Chapter 12:

Lexi's POV

" What are you doing in my room at.." I check the clock behind me, " 1:00 in the morning!" I yell, well... more like whisper.

" I came to apologize." She muttered looking at her feet. She dug her heel in the ground and turned it nervously.

" There's not much to say Cassidy, you hurt me. Guess that's what everyone is doing to me these days." I silently add in my head- not Zack.

" When I was I guess gaping at you Lexi. I was gaping at how rude Perrie was to you. I swear, perrie looked at me and I scoffed and ran inside. Nobody has really ever liked her, you know that? We put on a brave face and put up with that bitch because she has no other friends. But, we all ditched her today. We gave her a disgusted face and walked into school." She looks at me and her eyes are glossy with a few tears streaming down her cheeks. I softened at her words and walked over giving her a hug. At first she was as stiff as a board. But then she loosened and hugged me.

" I'm sorry for assuming Cassidy. Thanks for being here for me." I whisper into her hair.

"  My pleasure Lex." She whispered back.

Eventually she let go and we said our goodbyes, her climbing back out of the window and me getting into bed.

Three days later.

Sun came streaming through my own window blinding me. I hiss at it and bury myself deeper into my covers. I could here the birds chirping, " Why the HELL are you so cheerful so early in the fu-"

" LEXI!" My mother screeched. I spun around slowly to my mother in the doorway with her hands on her hips. That damn shirt is so tight I can see the baby bump. That 2 month little baby bump. Her hands fall from her hips, " Get up and get ready young lady!" She yells at me.

" SOMEONES MOODS SUCK!" I yell back. She gasps and turns around to see my smirking face.

" I am NOT moody!" She walks over and stands right over me, " I said GET UP. NO MORE BICKERING!" She straight right slaps me. Her eyes widen as my hand travels to my cheek where fire is spreading to it, " Lexi, I'm s-so sorry! I didn't mean it!" She covers her mouth in disbelief.

" YOU HIT ME!?" I yell at her, " GET OUT! I HATED YOU ALREADY, THIS HAS DONE. YOU HAVE DONE IT, I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU NEAR ME! NOT EVER, GOT IT?!" She recoils and takes a few steps back. I can tell that tears are clouding her vision. She runs out of my room hands over her eyes.

I get up and walk over to the bathroom. I seriously need a shower, a cold one. Once I'm done in the shower I put on a little bit of makeup and trudge into my room. I look outside and the sun is blazing, I swear we live in the desert. I put on a white crop top with a black rose and red thorns, jean shorts, and my vans.

I go downstairs, grabbing a banana I hear my mom say in a soft voice, " Have a nice day." I don't turn around, I don't nod, I don't acknowledge her in anyway. A car horn beeps from outside and I walk outside slamming the door. I slip into the front seat.

" Hey babe- What's wrong.." He says softly taking my hand. I lean over and put my head on his shoulder.

" My mom." In that simple he understood and pulled out of the driveway, " We had a big fight... She slapped me." He turns toward me with widened eyes.

" She slapped you?!" He asked, shocked. I nodded and he rubbed my thigh.

" I told her I hated her and never wanted to see her again.." I muttered.

" Lexi.." He said softly. I shook my head and muttered an I know.

We pull up into the school parking lot and I see Cassidy up near the entrance. The moment she spots me she waves viciously. I laugh and get out of the car. Waling around to Zack's side of the car I step onto my tippy toes and kiss him. " See you in Chemistry." I say as we break apart.

" Love you." He says kissing me one more time.

" Love you to." I say watching his retreating figure. I walk towards Cassidy and they all give me a giant group hug. Well, all but perrie who is leaning on the wall across the school yard. On the inside I'm smiling like an idiot. The morning bell rings and everyone files into the school navigating to their lockers. I slip into Chemistry once I have my books and Zack plops a squat in the desk next to me.

" Hey, beautiful." He says leaning in for a kiss. I kiss him and put my books down on my desk.

" Hey, handsome." I say back. Once class started go in, it seemed to go by fast. That was until halfway through it.

My principal walks in the door and everyone physically stiffens, acting as if they dont goof off when he isn't there. My teacher is motioned to follow the principal outside of the classroom. Everyone slouches again and begins to start talking. The door swings open again not even a minute later. I look over and my teacher is staring right at me.

" Lexi would you please join the principal and I out in the hall?" He says with his voice wavering. I shrug and get up walking out into the hall. My teacher closes the door behind me and looks down.

" Lexi, I'm sorry to inform you but." He gulps, " Your mother has been in a car crash." Those words come crashing down. I wanted this. I hated her. I never wanted to see her again. This is not what I wanted. The last words I said to her. Oh god, what a horrible daughter I am! She has died thinking I hated her! I drop to the ground and cry into my hands. The principal lowers him to face my on the floor and rubs his hand on my back. I shrug him off and whimper, " Zack..."

The principal orders to my teacher to get Zack. The door opens and the teacher calls for Zack. I hear a chair screech on the ground and my classmates groan. He must've seen me crumpled on the floor because pounding footsteps ran towards my side. I was suddenly being lifted off the floor and onto a muscular lap. He rubs my hair and whispers over and over again, " I love you."

All I could think about is that how worthless I am.

I'm worthless

I'm worthless

I'm worthless
