Fashionably Late. {Pierce The Veil}

Chapter Twelve:A Change For The Better.

I was hoping nobody would come upstairs to look for me but then I soon hear footsteps. How lovely. I sigh and wait for Tony to come through the door, wait why Tony? What about Mike? I hope it's one of them. "Alexis?" I hear Mike call out. I smile a little and run a hand through my hair. "In here." I yell. I hear his footsteps get closer and soon he's in the doorway. "Everything alright?" He asks concerned. I nod but then shrug. "Can I talk to you?" I ask quietly. "Sure." He smiles and sits on the bed beside me.

I take a deep breath and look him in the eyes. "Mike, I really like you. I mean I like you a lot, but I like Tony too. It sounds bad, I know but please just believe me when I say I want to be with you." I finish and study Mike's face. He's completely motionless. "Alexis, let me know when you know what you want. Until then, I want nothing to do with you. I'm not going to be caught in this stupid shit." He gets up and looks at me once more before leaving the room. So this is what I get when I try to be honest? This is what I get for saying my true feelings?

I knew for sure that I shouldn't be here, I needed to be at home. I get up and make my way downstairs. "There you are." Jaime shouts. I fake a smile and walk past him to the front door. I really just needed to get out of here. I quickly slip on my shoes and open the door. I step out before closing the door behind me. I didn't have my car here so I have to walk, but I'm not quite sure how to get home. I groan and walk down the street, away from the house.

I was completely lost now, I had no idea where I was and I couldn't even call anybody because my phone is broken. I continued to walk though, I know eventually I'll end up somewhere familiar. I was sadly mistaken though, I still don't know where I was and now my heart was pounding, my breathing was heavy and I felt dizzy. I find an alley way and decide to walk through it.

I was half way through the alley when I hear laughing. I quickly turn around and see four guys behind me. Shit. "Hey pretty lady, what're you doing by yourself?" The one tall guys asks. I know I shouldn't answer but maybe they can help me. "I'm lost. I have no idea where I am." I say honestly. The guy laughs and shakes his head. One of the guys walks up to me and runs his hand down my side. "You look like you could use a good time right now." He whispers. I shrug his hand off of me and go to walk away but he grabs my wrist and pulls me back towards the group of guys. Not again.

Tony's P.O.V:

I saw Alexis leave the house and I was unsure why she didn't say bye to any of the guys, especially Mike. Jaime comes into the living room and frowns. "Alexis hates me." He says dramatically. "What're you talking about?" I ask him. "I was trying to talk to her and she just walked by me." He sighs and sits down. I remember seeing Mike go upstairs then come back down by himself. What did he do?

Everybody was confused about the situation with Alexis except for Mike. "What did you say to her Mike?" I break the silence in the room and everybody just looks at Mike now. His jaw clenches and he looks at me. "Nothing." He snaps. "Mike, seriously." Vic says annoyed. Mike sighs and shakes his head. "She told me she liked Tony and I and was confused. I told her I didn't want anything to do with her until she figured things out." He says it so simply, like it didn't even matter.

I get up and walk to the front door. "Where are you going?" Jaxin asks. "To find her. You can't just say shit like that to her." I spit in Mike's direction. Jaxin gets up and runs towards me. "I'm coming." He says. We quickly go outside to my car and get in. "She doesn't know this area." Jaxin says worriedly. I was scared for her, I felt sick to my stomach, like something bad happened to her. "Check alley ways as I drive." I demand before starting my car and pulling out of my driveway.

We were driving slow and we still didn't see any sign of her. I just hope she's okay. "STOP! THERE SHE IS!" Jaxin shouts. I slam on the brakes and Jaxin quickly gets out. I pull to the side and turn off my car before getting out and following Jaxin. "She's with guys." Jaxin mumbles. I squint to see if I know them but I don't.
