* Jess' P.O.V *

We were all sat in Lexi's living room waiting. Harry had just called us saying that we all have to meet here and that he's found Lexi. We were sat there for ten minutes when the door flew open and in walked Harry, followed by my best friend. I ran up to her and wrapped my arms around her as tight as I could. 

''I was so worried, why would you do this?'' I sobbed in to her shoulder, ''I thought I'd never see you again'' I whispered before pulling away. I looked at her features. Her eyes, they used to shine so bright now they're just a pool of no emotion. Her hair, it used to glow, now it's just a wave of dullness. And her smile. Gone. Non existing...

''Sorry'' Lexi whispered before pushing past me and walking upstairs, I followed her. She walked in to her bedroom and sat on the bed. I sat beside her before wrapping my arms around her shoulder. I hate seeing Lexi down, she was always a happy person. But since Josh died and Harry came in to her life, all she seems to do is cry. I could hear little sobs escape her mouth as she hugged me, I pulled back and looked at my broken best friend.

''Where were you?'' I whispered as I wiped away her falling tears, she looked me in the eyes before looking down in to her lap.

''I was at Piler Cliff, I was going to jump...'' She whispered, when she finished she placed her head in to her hands and cried.

''Why?'' I whispered brushing her hair away from her face. She sat back up and let out a deep sigh.

''You couldn't possibly understand how much I hate myself right now, I'm empty, there's nothing left of me... and I hate feeling this way. I felt like the only way to end it was to end me... I mean I feel dead anyway, what's the point in me living, honestly? I don't know what to do anymore.'' Lexi said as tears streamed down her face before falling to the floor.

''I'm here for you Lex, I always will be I promise you that, no matter what happens. I'm here... I love you, you're my best friend and I never want to lose you'' I whispered, Lexi looked at me and smiled a small broken smile. Even though it was small and broken, I knew it was real and that's what made me smile. The fist real smile in a while.

''I know, I love you Jess, I just want it all to go away, all the pain and sadness... I miss the way things used to be back when I was me'' Lexi said quietly, I nodded in agreement.

''Well nobody's stopping us going back to being happy, we can do it, if we try... you should get some sleep you look exhausted'' I said before leaving Lexi alone to get some rest. I walked down the stairs and saw five boys sat talking to each other, Niall's head shot up to meet me. 

''How is she?'' They all chorused, I nodded and took a deep breath. ''She's okay, I've left her to get some sleep. I'm staying tonight, I don't want to leave her alone'' I told them, they nodded but then Harry piped up. ''She won't be alone, we're here'' He said. ''Yeah remember last time she was alone with yous?'' I asked rhetorically. They all hung their heads in shame and I walked out, I need to get my over night clothes.

* Lexi's P.O.V *

I woke up and heard faint voices from outside my bedroom door. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, before looking at my alarm clock. ''Six in the morning, are you serious?'' I groaned to myself, running a hand through my brown hair.

''Hey, you okay?'' A voice said, my head whipped in the direction of the voice. My eyes were met by the last person I wanted to see right now. 

''What do you want Harry?'' I snapped towards the curly haired boy, who stood in my doorway. He sighed and walked towards me, he sat on the end of my bed and ran one of his large hands through his hair.

''I just want to know if you're okay'' He sighed again, what is it with everyone sighing. I looked at him. That question ran through my head, 'are you okay?'. I don't know, I don't know if I am okay. I don't know anymore...

''No, I'm hurt, I'm fucking hurt. And don't act like you care. Because if you did, you wouldn't have done what you did!...'' A silence fell upon my room, the only sounds were the breaths we were taking.

I stood up and grabbed some clothes, I walked in my bathroom and put them on. When I re-entered my bedroom Harry was still sat on my bed. 

''Why are you still in here?'' I snapped whilst pulling my black leather jacket on, along with my black beanie and black converse. I had jeans an a tank top on. I walked out of my bedroom leaving Harry Sat there alone.

''Where are you going?'' Harry asked following me down the stairs. I ignored him, so he repeated it again. I rolled my eyes and turned so I was facing him.

''I'm going out, and don't worry yourself, I'm not going to kill myself!'' I yelled before leaving the house. I walked along the street, saying to myself 'I need a job'... And that's what I was going to do. Get a job. I'm seventeen and I've left school so I should be able to get a little one.

I was walking along the streets, I had already been turned down my ten places when my feet stopped outside the strip club. 'I've already been to ten places I suppose this is my only option' I said to myself as I entered the club. The smell of alcohol invaded my nostrils, ''Can I help you?'' A man asked. I nodded before saying. ''Hey, and yes I'm looking for a job''.

The man smiled and told me to follow him, he led me to a room at the back of the club. ''Wait here'' He told me before entering the room. After a couple of seconds the man returned.

''The boss would like to see you'' He told me, I nodded and walked in to the room. It was quite posh and well decorated, you see this club isn't run down or scruffy, it's clean and well I guess you could say posh. This is were all the rich men come to see lap dancers, pole dancers ect. 

''So you would like a job, huh?'' A man said, I turned to him and nodded. He sent me a little nod before telling me to take a set. I sat on the opposite side of the desk and smiled.

''Okay, I'm Marv, what's your name?'' Marv asked.

''I'm Lexi, but people call me Lex'' I smiled proudly.

''Beautiful name, for a beautiful girl, now I'd like to ask you a few questions, is that okay?'' Marv asked. I nodded for him to continue.

''So how old are you?''

''17 almost 18'' 

''Nice, Have you ever danced?'' 

''Yeah, I used to take dance when I was younger, but when my mum started to work away I had to stop'' I explained.

''Oh, what does your mum work as?'' 

''Model''

''and your Dad?''

''He's.. um ... dead'' I told Marv holding in the tears.

''Sorry to hear that anyway, everything's good, you've got the job'' Marv told me with a big smile.

''Thankyou so much, when do I start?'' I asked.

''Someone's eager, how about tomorrow at seven?'' Marv laughed. I nodded before leaving. Marv told me that they would provide all my clothing and that I would have my own body guard so that nobody would come on to me. It made me feel alot safer knowing that.

Maybe this isn't so bad after all...
