Not Too Late

VIII

//Jc POV\\
I wake up to someone shaking me awake, I assume it's Kian and try to shove them off.

"Ow! Jc!" A girly voice screaches.

Opening my eyes, I laugh at a very annoyed Lexi. She's already dressed, a flowy dark blue shirt with "fab" in gold letters on it, white shorts and white converse with gold lacing.

"What are you doing here, Lex," I ask, rubbing my eyes.

"Belle is gone," she says, her eyes filled with worry.

I sit up quickly, very confused, "What?"

"I told her last night," she explains, "obviously she got upset, an she left the house. She hasn't come back."

"Okay, okay, do you have any idea where she might have gone?"

"No, I was too busy freaking out," she shoots back at me.

Suddenly, her face lights up, "TREVOR!"

"No no, my name is Jc," I say to her, before realizing what she meant.

She rolls her eyes at me and pulls out her phone. She punches in a number and hits speaker.

After 3 rings, he answers.

"Hello..?" Trevor croaks, his voice heavy with sleepiness.

"Trev, is Belle over at your house?" I ask him anxiously.

"Yeah she came over last night, she was drunk. But you know her, she's an angry drunk, so she kept yelling and throwing pillows until I got her to calm down. Belle?" He calls out to her, "wait a sec," he says to us.

Lexi turns to me, her eyebrows furrowed in worry, tears brimming her eyes. God, she's so beautiful.

"Good things never happen when she gets drunk," she says to me, looking away.

Static comes from her phone, and then Trevor's voice.

"Okay I just checked up on her, she's completely passed out on my bed. I managed to get her to talk and wake up a bit," he starts, and then we hear a groaning Belle in the background, "oh shit she's gonna puke," Trevor panics.

"She never pukes. Trust me." Lexi says.

"Are you sure? She really looks like it!"

"She's gonna burp."

After a few seconds, Trevor breathes a sigh of relief.

"You were right," he says to Lexi.

"As always," she jokes, "can you fix her up and take her to Anahiem? I know she wouldn't want to spend these precious days laying around."

"Okay, but she's going to have to wear my clothes. Oh my god, I'm going to have to change her. OH MY GOD IM GOING TO SEE HER NAKED" Trevor exclaims.

I laugh, and Lexi smirks.

"Trev, you do know she has a bra and underwear on, right? You're not going to see her naked," I say, and then I tease, "unless you're up for the challenge, sailor."

We sense Trevor rolling his eyes. "Whatever, I have to fix her up. See ya at VidCon," he says before hanging up.

A few moments of silence pass, and then Lexi turns to me, biting back a laugh.

"Did you call him sailor?" She smirks.

I shrug, and she lets out a howl. I love hearing her laugh.

"Oh, but I'm still so sad," she says, her face falling. "My best friend has a brain tumor. She didn't come to me in her times of trouble, either," she sulks.

"Don't let that bother you, she needed a change of scenery, another person's perspective." I convince her.

She nods, and I take her into my arms, kissing the top of her head.

"Hey, Lex?" I say, and she pulls back to look at my face.

"Yeah?"

"I think I'm falling in love with you."

She smiles, and leans back on to me. "I think I'm falling in love with you too."

Her phone starts ringing, ruining the moment. She picks it up and looks at me, smiling a bit. "It's Trevor," she explains.

"Put him on speaker"

She answers, and pushes speaker.

"What's up Trevor?" She asks.

"Okay so I was taking off her shirt-" I whistle at him as he continues to talk, "-and I found something."

"Yes Trevor, we know she has breasts under her bra and they are sorta visible to you right now. Why are guys obsessed with those? THEY ARE LUMPS OF MUSCLE AND FAT THAT SIT ON OUR CHESTS AND DONT SERVE ANY PURPOSE EXCEPT TO CONTROL GUYS!" Lexi screams, kidding but also a bit serious.

"No, Lexi I found a tatoo," He finishes.

"What? Where? Of what?"

"It's on her right side, it's a heart with wings, and it says under neath it, 'Live like you're gonna die young."

"Ooh, Connor doesn't like that song," I remember, " I don't know why, though." [A/N: this was from another fan fic, The O2L sister, it's so good, go read it!]

"Not relevant," Lexi says to me," and Trevor, just act like you didn't see it. She's probably had enough."

"Yeah okay," Trevor says, "I'll see you at VidCon, I have a panel in the morning so I'll take her there to wait for you guys."

"Also remember to sign her up for the Tyler Oakley meetup," I remind him, remembering her saying something about really wanting to meet him.

Lexi smiles at me, kisses me, and Trevor agrees. He hangs up, and I get ready for VidCon.

I step out of the bathroom and find out that Lexi has breakfast ready. How she managed to maneuver through our kitchen beats me.

"The other boys left," she says, "and we're late so eat fast."

"Damn, you tell a girl you love her and suddenly she becomes bossy," I joke. I kiss her cheek and start to feast.

Later, we are on our way to VidCon, on an Uber ride because we are so fancy. I hope we make it through today with no more bad surprises, and that my girl is happy.
