HiGuisee c: Wow, 8 chapters already ? Huehuehue, I promise I'll update moreee !! How do you guys like it so far ? *Spoiler* Plot twist coming up ;D

Laurie's POV

Wednesday, 12:35 AM

It had almost been a week since Tony and I have been together. I've been sleep deprived from my own confused thoughts, but so far, everything is running quite smoothly. No run-ins with Vic, no problems with Tony, and most of all, no loneliness. At least that's how it felt like, but I wasn't sure if it was a genuine feeling. Maybe it was just some kind of hollow feeling that had been sugar-coated and said to be real.

My phone buzzed on my nightstand and it revealed a text message.

Laurie hun, we haven't talked in a couple days!! Anything interesting happen? Because I have some news for you <3 -="">

Wow, I'd been so caught up in my own bullshit that I hadn't even thought of talking to Alyssa. It sucks because she wakes up right as I go to sleep, and I wake up right as she goes to sleep. It's really hard not having girl time sometimes. I guess texting is better than nothing.

Yeah babe, we need to chill sometime! I'll ask Lance if I can take Friday off. And yeah, quite a bit has happened. You don't know how much shit can happen in like a week!! Lmao, well mind calling me? I can't sleep. -Lulu Xoxo

A couple minutes later, Alyssa called, and I picked up the phone with a groan.

"Laurie!! What are you doing awake? I didn't think you'd reply until the next morning!"

"I can't sleep. Things have been bothering me for the past week." I replied bluntly.

"Awhhh hun what's goin' on?"

"Well, Tony Perry was my first client on some day last week, and we kinda talked, and caught up with each other. And other stuff happened... And he kinda told me he loved me. I said I loved him back, but Alyssa, I don't know if I mean it."

"You're dating Tony Perry?! Like the Tony Perry?! And you don't call me right after he asks you out?! I thought we had something Lu!" I heard her giggle over the line.

"I know, I'm sorry! Lots of things have just been on my mind. And why are you laughing?"

"Because silly, Jaime and I are dating too! He asked me out about a week before you and Tony! I saw you guys come into the bar, and I yelled like a maniac trying to get your attention but you guys were too busy, and then you disappeared! I wonder what happened there, Lu!" Her squeals and shouts of joy only made me die a bit inside. I should have known that the barmaid that Jaime had kissed was Alyssa. I didn't consider it because I didn't pay attention to which bar it was.

Oh. Lord. Jesus. I'm dead.

I met Alyssa about a year after I moved here, and we instantly clicked. She was into the same music that I was, and I did her first tattoo. It was a pair angel wings on her back, except one was battered and bruised. She said she liked the general concept and story of it. To her, it symbolized being a person with good intentions that is used and abused like a toy. (A/N- I did this little tattoo part because I was planning on getting one like that when I get older for the same reason c:)

But she didn't know my whole life story. And she didn't know what happened exactly with Vic. All I told her was that I met him, and he remembers me, but we faded. I had to lie to her, saything that he and I were good friends for a while, but things just came up.

"... Hello?" Her voice was shaking, probably from excitement.

"Alyssa, we need to talk now."

"Oh... Uh okay? Want to talk in person?"

"Y-Yeah. Come h-home."

"Alright sweetheart, I'll be there as soon as possible. Relax, okay? Don't do anything stupid."

-----------------------

"You dated Vic Fuentes?! And you don't tell me?! Is there anything else you would like to tell me?! What, are you Jaime's mother too?! God Lu! Sisters are supposed to tell these things to each other! I mean, I know some of your story, and you know all of mine. What's the fairness in that?"

"I know Alyssa! I'm sorry alright! I didn't know what you would think. I thought you would judge me and not understand."

"Lu, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap. God. Deep breaths Lyss. Okay. Sorry, I just needed to calm down. But I understand every bit of it. Come here sweetie."

Alyssa pulled me into a hug and immediately broke down and started bawling my eyes out. I felt ashamed for not telling her practically anything about me when she told me everything about her. She knew about my parents, my cutting, and my "friendship" with Vic.

"It's alright hun, it's going to be okay." She cooed.

"I'm just really s-sorry Lyssabear. I feel like a bitch!"

"I know, sometimes you are. Aren't we all at times?" We both chuckled and my stomach growled.

"Being sad is really tiring you know. And what time is it? Like 1:00?"

"Wait, lemme check. Nope, its 2! You want some cold pizza?"

"Yeah, sure." Cold pizza was better than nothing.

"So tell me more about you and Tony..."

"Gahh honestly, I don't even know. I love him, but Alyssa, I feel like I'm just lying to myself. Maybe I don't really love him. Maybe I'm just using him to get rid of my pain."

"I know boo, I get it."

"And about the thing with Jaime, don't invite me to anything involving the guys. I already told Jaime to keep my secret and shit, but I don't think he knows that we're practically sisters."

"Yeah yeah yeah, I know. I'm not 5 years old!"

"Hey, is this your old barbie?"

"WHERE?!" We both burst out laughing, and I continued telling Alyssa more about myself. I kinda liked this whole confession thing. It made me feel like I wasn't alone.
