Going Down With A Fight

~Chapter 30~

I woke up and went on my laptop. I finished 12 lessons before Matt knock on the door. He told me through the door to dress nicely, because Bart was taking us out. I told him ok, and got down to business with my suitcase. I decided on an almost ankle length deep red dress with long sleeves and black 2 inch stilettos (I mean, how else am I gonna pull it off with my height? For God's sake, Hayes is taller than me. I curled my hair and pinned back my long bangs back. I topped it off with a light nude makeup. I tinted my lips a rich red color with some lipstick. 

Caitlyn wore a purple knee length dress, black flats, and a purple flower in her hair. Adrian wore a light blue polo, khakis, and same blue colored Nikes. Justin wore a white dress shirt with his sleeves ruffled up his arms, jeans, and black vans. The boys had their hair up into a quiff, and Caitlyn had hers straightened. We walked out and found everyone in the hallway. We split up and I was left. We all went to the elevators, and I went down in one with Carter, Matt, Cam, and Brent. Brent snuck his arm around my waist and rested it there. I looked up at him and he looked down, next he leaned down and whispered,"Don't look at me that way babe" I looked back down and felt squeezing by my stomach. I turned around to Matt vining and Carter in the background. Matt said, "Carter, remember I'm scared of elevators? Carter?" Carter turned around "What?" Matt repeated, "Remember I told you I was scared of elevators?!" They both hysterically screamed until it ended. Cam, Brent and I just laughed. 

We got to the lobby and went out to the limousine outside. We piled in and drove about sixteen minutes. Later we came to a stop and walked into a nice, fancy, Italian restaurant. We were seated and Brent rubbed my knee under the table. My phone went off and I reached into my black clutch to find it. It was Gabe. He said,

How's it going up there?

It's cold, and I have cramps. What do I order from an Italian menu?

Awe, sorry to hear that babe. Hmmmm, if they have parmesan chicken go for that or toasted ravioli.

Ok, thanks. How are u down there?

Good, I miss you though.

Gabe, we aren't you know...

What? Just because I love you doesn't mean I won't hide it.  I could really care less. If you let me kiss you I would. I would wait for you to come out and give me a chance. 

You are cute, ya'know that?

Man, u wanna know something?

What? 

I wish I was there first.

Where?

Your heart, I wish I was before Bret. I wouldn't have broken you like my mom's flower vase.

...

Well, say something Alex.

Don't make promises you can't keep. Oh, and his name is Brent not Bret.

Alex, you and I both know he was just using you for your fame and to get into your pants. 

Just than my food came and I excused myself to the bathroom. I pushed Brent's hand off my leg and he looked at me. I ignored his safe and walked to the bathroom. I texted caitlyn a screenshot of Gabes and my convo. She replied with a broken heart emoji. I went to the bathroom and saw that I started my period. I prayed to God and thanked him I put on a panty liner (thin pad) down. I threw out the liner and grabbed a real pad from my clutch. I put that on and finished that.  I walked out and was greeted by a cute guy. He said, "Did you go 1 or 2? Since we are talking about numbers, can I have yours?" I walked back to the  table confused and ate my chicken dinner. Brent kept trying to rub my knee again but I swatted his hand away. After dinner we walked out and drove back to the hotel. I sat far away from Brent as possible and texted the girls in a group chat except for Madison. I still fully don't trust her. We texted and I sent what I sent Caitlyn before. They all looked at Brent at the same time and texted different opinions. I was still wondering if Gabes words or my period were making me feel like I might puke. I pushed the idea to the back of my head when I got out. I was extremely tired and cranky. I walked to the stairs so I could easily fall asleep when I got up there. 

Brent followed me and tried to grab my hand. I yanked from his grasp and looked at him. "Alright, what?" He asked. "What?" "Don't play stupid with me young lady. You have been acting weird all night. What is it?" "I don't know what you're talking about." I turned to open the door to our floor when he forces me to turn around. "Alex, talk to me. I'm not a dumb ass and I know when something's wrong. Tell me or I'm telling Justin" he threatened. "Do it, I bet that threat will never happen because you are scared. You are scared to talk to him, cuz you know I will be just as bad." He block me by putting his arms on either side of my and he gave me another lustful look like he did he night he tried to make amends. I was utterly scared when he was like this. 

I kicked him in the groin, and pushed him off. I slid through the door and took off my heels and started running to my room. I grabbed the key card and slopes it in with shaking hands. I closed the door right as he looked at my door. I locked it and ran in the bathroom and hid in there. I washed my face, and took a shower. I walked out and put on sweats, and an oversized hoodie I stole from Shawn. He 'stole' a pair of earrings right in front of me. I went in his closet the following week and 'stole' a sweatshirt. He looked at me like I was crazy and yeah.

I checked the peephole and saw no one there. I got a text from Cam saying we were watching The Purge in Hayes room. I brushed my hair and slipped on some socks. A few hours later I let sleep take control.
