"Oh, 4,5,6, c'mon and get your kicks! Now you don't need that money when you look like that, do ya honey? ;)"

I sat down on the sink and huffed angrily, feeling the anger bubble up in my stomach. I can't believe he just did that to me. After everything I did for him. I could have just left him downstairs, forced him to wake up with the worst hangover known to man since he was so drunk, and most importantly, I could have laughed in his face instead of hugging him. But no. I actually felt sorry for him.

"Hey, hey, calm down." Emery muttered, taking a seat next to me. But I just wanted to scream. "Let's talk about love, okay? You know how that makes you feel better." She smiled. I turned to face her, frowning.

"Everyone gets so caught up in the Disney type of love where it comes out of nowhere." I sighed, looking down. She placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Exactly. And everyone just walks away from relationships instead of trying to fix them." Emery said. I frowned, nodding my head, thinking about Alec and Kira. That was the schools 'bad girl'. If she didn't get in enough trouble, I'm not sure what to call it. Anyways, I thought Kira and Alec were going to last for a while. He loved her. A lot. I'm pretty sure that when he was with her, he forgot about being mean. For once, he was actually nice. But then she made out with Blake at a party, might I add they were totally shitfaced, and Alec cracked. He never tried to stay in another relationship since. And I am pretty sure that's a big part as to why he hates everyone.

"I do not think anyone realizes they have the ability to fix them. Everyone just focuses on how they screwed up..and hates them for that." This conversation was already soothing me down. Ahh, it felt good to talk about this.

"I have seen so many girls become ruined by guys, that it isn't even funny. They call having sex romantic and that it is the true meaning of love. But really, true love is taking someone out on a date and buying them gifts. Actually giving a shit, you know?" Emery said, bringing her knees up to her chest. She couldn't have deadpanned it any better.

"The girls can't help it, I blame it on the older generations. They told these girls when they were little, 'if a guy is mean to you, he likes you' and so their little girls ended up with assholes.." I said blatantly, feeling ten times better. Talking about the flaws of love always lightens my mood. I don't know why.

"Couldn't have said it better myself." Emery smiled, hopping down and holding out her arm. "Now, come on. We can't let Alec Vermont get his way. Even though you slayed him in there." I laughed. I locked my arm with hers and leaped off of the sink, skipping out with a smile on my face.

Once we got back in the cafeteria, Alec was gone. Kayde and Tanner were talking to eachother and Blake was playing on his phone. I sat down next to Kayde and smiled. He turned towards me, grinning.

"You dominated him, and he is pissed." He chuckled. I shook my head, laughing. "Literally!" I looked over at Tanner who was smirking, holding his head up with the palm of his hand.

"You thought he hated you before? Ooh, you have no idea." He said, smiling widely. Emery loved his smile a wee bit too much and just giggled.

"Alec only wants what he can't have, babe. If you do not let him get his way around you, he gets pissed and determined to find a way to get what he wants. Simple as that." Blake said, still looking down at his phone. No way.

"Then..why did he break up with Kira?" I asked. This caught his attention real quick, causing him to whip his head upwards at me. I could tell this was a sensitive subject for him.

"Because she cheated on me with my best friend." Alec answered sharply, taking a seat beside me. I looked over at him, confusion and pity etched all over my face, even though I was very much aware.

"But they were drunk, Alec. You were drunk and you called me beautiful. I know you did not mean it, but you still said it. And Kira and Blake were drunk when they kissed, but they did not mean it. So what is the difference?" I asked sincerely. He shook his head with amusement.

"I did not call you beautiful. I would never call you such a thing, drunk or not." That hurt..bad..I felt tears sting in the back of my eyes, but I had to shake it off. Cry later, Avi. Not now.

"But you did. And you did not mean it, I know. So just leave it at that. But you loved Kira. Do not deny it. Because we all saw it when you were with her. You were happier..nicer. You were different. And she loved you, Alec. Why do you think she left? Because she couldn't stand being around you, knowing that you were sleeping around with other girls and not her. It hurt her. Alec, you have to understand that.." I thought for a moment, seeing the anger growing in his eyes. I never intended to dig this deep into his personal life, but it felt right. He needed to hear it. Emery placed a hand on my shoulder and the boys just stared, wide eyed. "..that you had the ability to fix everything, but you focused on how she fucked up..It wasn't her fault, Alec. It was yours." My voice became soft, and I was staring at him directly into his eyes. I just wanted him to be happy again.

"Stay out of my fucking business, Avalon. Better yet, stay out of my life." Alec stood, eyes sharp and glaring. Like a rabid dog. His voice was cold and bitter, to the point it sent a shiver down my back. I'm not helping anything, but he has no right talking to me like that. I stood as well, holding my breath and reaching eye level. He only got madder.

"What is it going to take for me to get to you? Can't you see that I am only trying to be nice? I want you to be happy for god's sake! Because you are only hurting everyone around you emotionally, mentally, and physically, and it is killing me. If this is how it is going to be, then I am done, okay? I am finished trying to be nice to you and actually being the one who cares. Because I am damn well never going to stop trying." I cried, my voice in a shout. He stared down at me, his jaw clenching and fists coiling into his palms. Everyone was watching. Hell, there was no way they couldn't. I was nearly screaming I was so fed up. But instead of yelling back, like I had expected, or hitting the closest thing next to him, he pulled me by the waist directly into his chest and slammed his lips on mine. I was merely as shocked as the rest of the cafeteria, only hearing gasps and whispers. When he pulled back, my face was blank and I had to gasp for air to cope with what had just happened. He stared for a minute more, then stumbled back, storming out with anger. I gulped down the lump that had formed in my throat and glanced over at Emery, feeling my cheeks heat up and my stomach lurch forwards. I was going to be sick.
