Her.

Thirty Nine.

Alexia frowns as London finished her rant, crying at some parts but pulling through trying to not show as much pain, considering she felt like death. There was no shock to how London was treated considering her past with relationships, she was just more focused that this one lasted longer. Alexia toke a sip of her vodka, as London sighs taking a sip from her drink as well feeling a bit better that she had someone listen. "London, you know you're not the first person to fall under her trap right?"

"What?"

"Wow! You really didn't see the signs with Lexi or William?" Alexia eyes opened suddenly happy to spread school gossip as London leaned closer in wanting to hear more.

"Lexi and William are dating though."

"It's called 'Trauma Bonding' they related to the domestic violence they suffered from Faye and now they're in love." Alexia shrugs.

"W-What did Faye do?"

"The first ever one was Lexi...she had everyone drolling over her eighth to freshman year, the perfect girl you'd take to meet you're parents...honors student...wealthy family...she was gold to everyone...until Faye White came into the picture." Alexia sighs. "Faye came in middle of freshman year with with look of death that made everyone shit themselves...everyone stood away expect Lexi...She said she saw something in her and how cold Faye was to her but ending up opening up. Everyone warned Lexi about Faye considering her powerful her dad is but she fought tooth and nail to even sit next to her...so one thing led to another and they ended up dating. Lexi's grades started dropping, getting into legal trouble, barely showing up...and when she did appear she had all kinds of bruises and marks on her, the teachers called in CPS but it was confirmed all those beating were because of Faye...so...her parents tried to kick Faye out and attempted to get a restraining order but something happened with the family so she continued to go." Alexia explains. "Lexi said it was always arguing that led to her hitting, she seemed to have been going through something but it was never confirmed. Lexi just fell head over hells while Faye was dragging everyone else under her spell, she ended up in the ER with a stab wound, we all knew it was Faye but she never spoke on it...and soon after Faye left her to 'focus on personal issues' but still offered a friendship which ended up as a friends with benefits, and even now starting as seniors...if Faye were to even flirt...Lexi would fall right back."

The story fitting on how London's relationship went, seeming as if she had a pattern she followed. Faye was manipulative and her looks made you fall under it without anyone fully realizing you...the way her eyes seemed to light up when she looked at you as if you were the only one standing on the world, her deep dimple when she smiled...How can anyone not fall under Faye? But London brushes past the similarities knowing Faye would never go to the level knowing she had nothing but pure love, still hanging on that she changed.

"And William?"

"William Avara...had every girl-even me- crushing on him when he came sophomore year; his big green eyes, stunning smile, football quarter back, good personality, comes from a strong wealthy rich suburban family...who didn't want a grab at him? That kid never did any legal activity or even hung around anyone like that until...Faye. He was the friendly kid and when Faye wouldn't give him the time or day to look at him, he grew more and more interested in who this Faye White was...he would wait around her locker and she would purposefully not come leading him into a looping hole; he told his father about her and he forbid him to even be in the same school as her but...its rumored that hush money was involved since an apparent 'secret' was leaked from the Whites but nothing was never spoken on it." Alexia explains as if she was reliving it. "It led one thing to another and William started dating her and to everyones surprise...it was going fine. They were the happiest with young love until a party was thrown in his honor for winning some big game at his football game, he was spotted with a random girl just chatting...it was obvious she wanted more but being the friendly guy he was...he offered her friendship...Faye noticed it and lead him to the room and apparently she beat him to a bloody pulp...he was rushed to the hospital with a broken ankle literally hanging off the end...but...he still stayed considering it could've destroyed his entire life...and that girl he was with was never seen afterwords..." Alexia shakes her head. "He used to wait for her Locker after wards but she still dodged him, just a lost boy who felt as if that was love..."

"So...did she murder her?"

"Oh, thats what everyone says but it was never confirmed by anyone so its just another rumor spread around." Alexia shrugged. "She must've liked you a lot to not at least try to kill you."

Londons hand went on her faded bruise, she opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by a women. London turned around taken by the women's beauty, smooth olive skin, a deep scar on the right side of her cheek, short brown hair that dipped into a dark pink at her ends, wearing a jumpsuit that exposed her back. She smiled, "I, uh, saw you from the other side and i think you're the most prettiest women I've seen so far."

Londons face lit up with excitement, looking back to make sure she was mistaken, "Me?"

"Yeah, I...I was wondering since they're playing some good music finally if you liked to dance."

"You look weirdly familiar." Alexia said making the girl laugh. "It's like I've seen you around back then...I dunno maybe its the drinks but you definitely are a face I've seen a lot."

"Yeah I use to live in LA three years ago, I just came to town again to reconnect." She smiled before looking back at London holding put her hand that had a fiery rose on it. "You wanna dance?"
