My Drug-In Editing

On My Own

Mini A/N: Title is also a song title from the Les Miserables soundtrack. I was just kinda remembering the song while writing this.

So Melanie wouldn't let me skip school to stay with Ben. Apparently putting boys before education is bad. I'm walking to my locker, when I see him. Not not Ben, he's being taken to the doctor. Liam. Dang he looks upset.

"Do you know how many times I've called, texted, and chatted you within the past 24 hours?" He scolds with his arms crossed. Dang, if he wasn't like 2 inches shorter than me, I might feel intimidated.

"Yeah, I'm sorry Liam. We have a lot to talk about." I sigh, feeling bad for keeping him out of the loop.

"Good, we both have study halls right now, so I'll get a pass from my teacher to come talk to you." He smiles cheerfully, as he goes on his way to the classroom. Wow, talk about a mood change.

"So tell me everything." Liam says, leaning in over the table. So I do. I tell him everything from the principal's office to Tommi taking me to Ben's house. I even include the part where Tommi told me he was flirting with Alex, and nothing more. "I hate when you know your suspicions are true." he says, looking defeated.

"Aww, Liam, it's okay. Tommi honestly seems to have more respect for you than Alex." I try to half cheer him up and half get him to realize that he needs to dump Alex's eager-to-cheat ass.

"I gotcha." He says nodding with a sad smile. I look around the room. SH*T! I didn't realize that Alex was in the corner of the room. Oops. I realize this too late. When I look up to where Liam was just sitting, I see the space is empty. Liam is walking over to Alex.

"Hey baby, I didn't think you were in this study hall." Alex says smiling at Liam. Lucky for Liam, Alex is sitting down, so he's lower than Liam. "Baby, what's wrong?" Alex asks, examining Liam's face. Liam says nothing, he only throws a punch at Alex's jaw.

"THAT'S FOR CHEATING ON ME YOU MANWHORE!" Liam yells. Alex, still holding his face, stands up to tower over Liam.

"I'm not cheating! I've done nothing but flirt with Tommi, and that's it" Alex says in a raised voice, but still seemingly calm, as if he was expecting this to happen.

"THAT'S CHEATING YOU B*TCH ASS SKANK ASS HO!" Liam yells. I'm surprised the majority of the class is still ignoring the two of them. If I wasn't the one who encouraged this, I'd be looking for some popcorn right about now.

"FINE! We're through! Happy?!" Alex yells, throwing his hands up in the air.

"Very." Liam growls, turning to walk out of the room and back to his own class.

Alex just sits there, glaring at me. Like he knew it was me who told Liam. Like he was plotting.

A/N: Big changes in relationships here. Comment what you think will happen next! What, if anything, will Alex do? How will Tommi react to stories that Alex and Liam were fighting about him? How badly was Ben hurt (he should know after visiting the doctors)? What will Erik and his posse do next?
