Her.

Forty Three.

Alexia sits with London and Juniper, smiles on all their faces happy to hang out once more since London got a girlfriend. "So...whats new?" Alexia laughs.

"Same old, same old." Juniper says "We came back from San Diego, meeting some of my old friends. It was nice." Their eyes meet. "Really fun." She hints at the adventurous sex they did for the one and a half month they had left.

London blushes putting a hand through her hair, loving her new light blue highlights, "I liked it a lot."

"There's been so much gossip, since you left." Alexia says "Lexi moved to Ohio to do some dam soul searching,, I for one finally got some new guy at school to like me." She smiles at the thought of the guy, "He's so sweet, our families get along so well."

"So has there been a first date?" Juniper ask smirking. "Or any sex?" But a stranger taps her arm, she gasps seeing it was friend. "I'll be back." She looks back at them before vanishing with the man into the crowd.

"How's Faye?" London ask making Alexia frowns.

"Thats not fair to Juniper, you know." Alexia says. "You two have been over for months, were you happy in San Diego? Stop thinking of her, she's moved on." London scoffs. "London I'm not saying to hurt you but her and William practically own a fucking castle." Londons eyes went wide. "Yeah, so stop asking for her because when I'm with her, she talks about how good the mansion has been and how much love she's in with William."

"Why so quick?" London sits back. "A house? She-She wouldn't dare to even mention that to me."

"Babe, Faye will never be the one for you, she's doing well for herself and it's time you do the same. Let go of those memories and focus on making better ones with Juniper, she seems really into you...she's a keeper." Alexia raises a brow. "I Love You, London but you're only hurting you're self by asking about her, let bygones be bygones and focus on your future." Alexia stands up fixing her dress. "I'll be back." She heads towards the bathroom with the sound of her phone ringing.

London looks at Alexias purse, glancing back to see her gone, she bits on her lip reaching in and grabbing it seeing It was William texting her asking for some romantic advice. London furrows her brows, entering her password before pressing on his conservation, seeing back to back conversations going from how a double date went to asking for help with house decorations and finally leading to a picture of this huge ring sparkling with huge diamonds, knowing Faye was into those type of things. Her heart sank at how quick Faye was moving considering she destroyed Londons heart and now she was living as if London never existed.

London sets the phone back into her purse, fighting tears sitting there before Juniper sits back down, "Babe, the musics good as hell, lets go and dance." London looks at her sad, "Babe...what-whats wrong?"

"Do you love me?" London asks. "Don't say 'yes' to pity me, I'm tired of everyone taking advantage of me and leaving."

"Babe..." Juniper begins stroking her cheek. "How can I not love you? You make my world have a meaning, of course I love you...London...the ex you said abused you....I'm not them..." She kisses London, who had a tear drop fall.

London enters her home to see Raven a bit tipsy as she attempts to walk but almost tumbles down the steps. Raven notices London and smiles, "Haha, you're back from the trip."

"Yeah but I won't stay long since Junipers waiting for me out front."

"Aw..." Raven pouts but ends up shrugging. "Just come back in one piece."

"Okay, mom." London answers ready to walk past her but Raven's voice spoke.

"Faye came to the house."

Londons eyes went wide, her heart pounding. "Why?"

"She dropped off some of you're stuff." Raven answers pointing at a box, London gasp looking before noticing it was some photos they had taken with one another, love letters they both gave, and finally seeing a necklace London had given Faye their first month together, those memories piercing her soul, tears welding up. "She said she found them when she was moving."

"D-Did she say anything else?"

"No...she just left." Raven looks bored and annoyed. "Fucking bitch." She says.

"Hey! Mom, no need for that."

"You're not the only person with a broken heart from her, you know?"Raven blurts out sipping on her vodka unaware of her words. "She rejected me."

"Mom, what-what do you mean?" London furrows her brows.

"That night when you came home with the bruise, I went to her house like I said I would and I dunno, her eyes are so addicting..her toned body...I threw myself at her and yet she kept saying no because she cared for you." Raven explains slurring at some point blood raising in London. "And when she came here I tried again but this time she said how I'm a bad mother...she just looked at me in pity and left..."

"Mom." London said walking fast towards her grabbing her shoulders roughly. "You...you tried to Fuck Faye? My- my fucking ex?"

"London, she's the first person to acknowledge me since you're dads death...I had too."

London saw rage as she brought her hand up slapping her mother hard, Raven gasped, London shocked but more hurt and disgusted. "You fucking whore." She spats turning around making her way out the door. "I thought you were my mother.."
