Pretty Little Poison II Jordan Li

CHAPTER TEN: FIGHT FOR ME

Lexi is sitting on the couch in Cate's room, scrolling through her phone while Cate tries on some new dresses she had bought a few weeks ago. "Seems like the party was lit." Lexi tells her.

When she scrolls to the next video, she is met with a girl who seems to get extra excited when she catches Jordan and Lexi making out, Jordan's hand, going on to Lexi's ass. "If only I remembered it." She huffs, the girl's video going to a different subject.

The video restarts, Cate coming over and leaning over the couch to look at Lexi's phone. "Seems like you had a great time." She lets out a little giggle, going back to look at the dress in the mirror. "So, is this thing with Jordan serious? Are you guys, like, together now?"

Lexi turns her phone off, turning around to look at the girl. "I don't think so. I tried to talk about it with JJ earlier, but they didn't really seem interested in the idea."

"There's no way they're not interested." Cate tells her. "They probably just thought that's how you felt. What exactly did they say, anyways?"

"They said, 'we're cool.'" She explains rolling her eyes. "What the hell does that even mean?"

Cate walks back over to the couch, forcing Lexi to stand up and walk over to the mirror. "They'd be lucky to have you, Lex. Just look how beautiful you are. You could have boys fighting over you if you felt like it."

They both laugh, finding the humor in their whole predicament. "As fun as that sounds. I don't want boys fighting over me, I just want Jordan to fight for me."

"And I'm sure they will." Cate tells her. "We all see the way they look at you. Like you're the only person who matters. It's the same way Los has been looking at Marie. Do you know what's up with that by the way?"

Lexi steps away from the mirror, leaning back against the couch. "I didn't even know it was a thing till this morning."

There's suddenly a knock at the door, but before either of them could answer, Marie comes barging in. "Marie?" Cate asks, not expecting the girl.

"Where's Andre?" She asks, frantic.

Lexi notices the gash on Marie's neck almost immediately. "Holy fuck, are you all right?"

"No, I'm not okay." She responds. "Everything is fucked. I-I... I can't"

"Hey, slow down." Cate says, trying to get her to breathe.

"I know how this sounds, but they put a tracker inside of us." Marie explains.

Lexi's eyes bulge. "Their fucking tracking us." She expresses. "Do I have one?" She walks closer to Marie, moving her hair to be on her back.

Maie feels around her neck, stopping when she feels something. "It's right there."

"Sit down. Who the fuck is 'they'? Did the Sam guy come back?" Cate asks Marie.

Lexi goes over to the mirror, moving all her hair to one side, pulling her sleeve over her shoulder. She moves her fingers around her collar bone until she finds what Marie felt. "No. I don't know. I don't know, but this was in my neck." Marie holds up the tracker to Cate.

Lexi uses her nail to dig into the skin on her fingertip, making a bit of black blood come out. She puts her finger where she felt the tracker, her blood burning through her skin making her wince. "Cate, I think this is way bigger than Rufus." Marie continues to rattle on. "I think something really fucked happened to us... is happening to us... and I think Dean Shetty is a part of it."

"Do I have one, too?" Cate asks. Marie uses her powers to check.

Lexi is able to burn through enough of her skin to grab the tracker. "I'm so sorry. I really wish it didn't have to be like this." She hears Cate, assuming she was expressing sadness for Marie's situation.
