⚠️CONTENT WARNING⚠️
Self-harm

JACE got home about an hour later. He had went on a ride to clear his head, but he was still angry. He had no idea what he was going to do when he saw Joe.

Alicia was sitting in the car by herself in the driveway still. She had just been sitting there, thinking to herself.

When Jace got out of his car, he looked over and stormed over to Alicia's car.

He knocked on the window and she looked up at him with teary eyes.

She sniffed and rolled down the window.

"I know you were with Joe." He grumbled.

"Jace—."

"No! Don't fucking 'Jace' me, bitch! You really went out with me and then you go fuck my best friend? What is wrong with you?" Jace exclaimed.

"Jace—."

"I know what's wrong with you! You're a slut who doesn't care about anyone else's feelings but your own!" Jace yelled.

Alicia's lips parted and more tears slipped out of her eyes.

She unlocked the car and got out, pushing Jace out of the way.

"Where the hell are you going, Alicia?"

Alicia went inside and Jace followed.

When they entered, they saw Joe sitting at the island with Ja'Marr and Tee. Joe looked distraught.

Alicia gave him a look, then ran upstairs and locked herself in the bathroom.

Jace looked at Joe and his face darkened.

"Oh shit." Tee muttered.

Joe looked up at Jace.

"Jace." He exhaled.

"You slept with her, didn't you? You asshole." Jace growled.

"No I didn't, Jace. She came upstairs and was puking and I wanted to comfort her and I did and so I put her to bed and she wanted me to stay, so I stayed with her." Joe explained.

"You shouldn't have stayed. You know we like each other and you slept in the same bed with her." Jace replied.

"I'm sorry, Jace." Joe muttered.

Jace sighed. "Just tell me right now, Joe and be honest. Do you have feelings for her?"

Joe didn't reply.

"Joe."

Ja'Marr looked at Joe and Tee looked over at Ja'Marr.

Jace licked his bottom lip and nodded.

"Right. Go fuck yourself."

Jace then stormed upstairs and Joe put his face in his hands.

"Shit. What do we do now?" Tee asked.

"I don't know, bro." Ja'Marr shook his head.

Meanwhile, Alicia was upstairs in the bathroom sobbing her eyes out.

All she could think about was what Jace said to her.

Maybe he's right. She thought. I'm so selfish. I'm a horrible person.

She exhaled and looked inside of the shower. The was the razor.

She shook her head. She shouldn't cut herself. She shouldn't do it. But she felt like a horrible person. She felt like she deserved it.
