the better person~lex

the pogues were arguing with lex after she had lost the gold after being held gunpoint by barry.

jj-you lost the only god damn thing to get us out of here! why would you give it up?!
jb- that was my dad's research! and you just threw it away like that.

lex sits there staring off into space, trying to tune out of the yelling.

kie-how could you possibly be this useless?!

pope walks back and forth, angrily as sarah sits there, biting her nails.

lex-oh i'm useless?!

lex looks up at kie.

sar-you are, lex. we worked hard and went through shit-
lex-we?! you are fucking loaded, sarah! you have the easy way out. and you, kiara. i'm useless?! i had a fucking pistol right to my head! him screaming and spitting in my face to hand over the gold or my brains'll get fucking blown out of my head.

everyone stops in their tracks and stares at her.

lex's eyes were set on kiara, glaring holes into her head.

lex-so john b, im sorry for your dad. but he'll be pretty fucking disappointed if you let your best friend die over gold.

lex now had set her eyes onto jj.

lex-i truly thought you would understand. the one person who would understand how afraid i was.

lex walks to the porch door. but she turns around to look at everyone.

lex-would you guys let him pull the trigger on me just to get the gold?

they all looked down, avoiding eye contact.

lex-wow. fucking wow. good luck getting it back. because i'm not in this anymore. i'm done.

lex slams the door and walks off.

lex was on the porch house near by the water where the pogues would jump into the boat and rev away. she cracked a beer open and took a swig of it.

r-well well well. alexandra.
lex-rafael.

lex turns to face rafe and rafe sees the face front of him, tear soaked cheeks and red eyes.

r-what happened?
lex-my friends happened. barry happened.

lex sat down in the corner and rafe sat down across her. lex told the whole story to him, including barry.

r-i'll fucking kill barry.
lex-it's ok. i don't give a shit about them.

lex chuckles tiredly as she takes a gulp of her 4th beer.

r-cmon. let's go home.
lex-what is home?
r-you can room with me for a while.
lex-rafe cameron being nice?!
r-shut up. you're buzzed.

lex takes rafe's hand and hops in his jeep.

several months later

lex had became best friends with rafe and he would be buying stuff for lex while lex partied with his friends.

kelce, topper, rafe and lex was on topper's sick ass boat, kelce driving it as topper chats with rafe and lex lying down, head on rafes lap.

kel-pogues coming through!
lex-leave them alone, kelce.

lex sat up as kelce drove by them. the pogues make eye contact with lex as she puts her glasses down and looks ahead.

kie-didn't have to look through us, bitch.

it was later in the night and there were a party. rafe walked through the doorway with his arm around lex's waist.

lex's dress

with her hair curled. rafe just wore a white button up with black jeans. he worked it well though. kelce and topper waved over rafe and fiona and they made their way through to the table.

top-so this? are you guys a couple?

topper waves his finger between the two people sitting together.

r-no. we're just friends, hating the pogues.

lex and rafe chuckles.

kel-okay, so that dress? i know it wasn't in your closet.
r-i bought it for her. i wanted her to look nice. she had to make herself feel nice once in a while.

lex smiles. she caught the pogues staring at her from a distance near by the bar.

r-want to say hello? they seem so in our business.
lex-it's fine.
r-no, come on!

rafe and lex stood up and walked over to the bar near by them.

lex-hey guys.
sar-why are you with my brother?
lex-why can't i?
sar-you've been spending a lot of time with him.
jj-are you guys dating or something?
lex-why do you guys care? he helped me through the tough times, even when you shitted on me.
kie-it's rafe. rafe cameron. the kook king. the guy who made our lives hell.
lex-because i told him to do. you see, here's the thing. it's been months, and you're so not over me. you all are wrapped around my finger. you think he's so bad? im worse.
r-here's your drink.
lex-thank you.

lex makes hard eye contact with each person, as she sips her drink.

john b- what happened to you? you hated being mean and being the center of attention. now you're walking around, flaunting your million-dollar-dress.
lex-i feel like you just tried to insult me but it was a compliment at the same time. remember, your girlfriend is the exact same way. rafe made me better.

their faces looked defeated. it pulled on your heart a little but you refused to break. they were mean to you while you were at your worst. lex thought. she smiles as she takes her drink but kie attempts to grab it and dump it all over your dress but you moved it out of her way just right on time.

lex-careful, kitty. don't need your claws to hurt someone.
kie-i'm gonna do a lot worse if you don't shut up.
lex-wanna try that?
kie-let's go.

kiara and lex steps closer so their faces, inches away from eachother.

pop-cmon kiara. we don't need to waste our energy on her. let's just go.

lex turns around and walks back to her table.

top-that was heated.
lex-just forget about them. i have you guys now.
kel-hell yeah!

topper had ordered a round of shots and everyone grabbed a shot and drank it.

comment down below if lex had the right to act like that against the pogues or it was too much?
