The Bad Boy Needs Help

When Tequila Solves Life [19]

Lexi P.O.V.

Chapter 19

I wake up and look at the clock, it's eleven a.m.

I shower quickly and put some jeans with a shirt. I apply a little bit of make up and head down the stairs to eat breakfast. I have a shift in the library today, and I have exactly twenty three minutes to get there.

I make a poor sandwich and enter the car, driving as fast as I can. My mind keeps flashing memories of Reece, and I squeeze my eyes. I have to forget about him; he is just another player.

When I get to the library, I see Marian and send her a smile, though she doesn't reply it; she frowns.

"Hi Marian, what's wrong?" I ask

"I'm Sorry Lexi but you are fired." She answers and water forms in my eyes.

"Why?" I sob

"This boy with a girl came and told me you were bothering them" Marian explains and I shake my head.

"That's not possible, you know I would never do that!"

"I know Lexi, but costumers are costumers, and I can't keep you here. I wish that Heather was wrong..." She tells me and I widen my eyes.

"Heather! Who is this Heather?!" I ask.

"The girl that came and told me this. Why? Do you know her?!"

"Umm... No... Could you describe the boy to me, please?" I beg and she nods.

"He was dressed in black jeans with a white shirt I think. His name started with an R, I believe. Though I don't really remember that much. You know old people don't have that much of a memory!" Marian chuckles and I give her a fake smile.

Black jeans, white shirt, an 'R'....

Reece

Why would he do that to me?! I just can't believe it!! He breaks my heart once more...

"I have to go" I tell Marian and she nods again, frowning.

How am I going to raise money now? I need to get a new job!

I drive home, tears crolling down my cheek again and sobing really loud. I wish everything could go back to normal. No problems, no crying, no Reece.

But I just can't! I fell for this boy, and hard.

I sigh and open the door, noticing nobody's home. I smile at the feeling but then remember Zach's party is tonight.

Dang it!

I groan and walk to my room, dragging my feet.

I jump on the bed and close my eyes. My phone rings and I pick it up.

"Hey gurl" Tess greets.

"Hey"

"So, are you going to your brother's party?" She asks

"No. But you should come! We can stay all night playing go fish!" I tell her and she giggles.

"Umm... NO! You are going to dress nice and talk to Reece. That is what we are going to do tonight." She informs me and I frown at the though of Reece.

"Reece and I aren't in... Good terms"

"Then you are going to get in good terms" She replies and I groan.

"I'm not coming down tonight!"

"You are"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Pleasee" Tess begs and I give up.

"Okay! But if I want to come up, I'm going up" I say and hear her chuckle.

"Okay. I'll be there by five" She tells me and we exchange byes.

I turn the TV on and watch Supernatural until Tess comes.

We sit in my bed and she starts showing me dresses.

"What about this one?" She asks and I shake my head, it's way to green. Maybe for Christmas.

After Tess shows me at least ten dresses, we decide on a blue dress which is actually really pretty.

Tess does my make up and I put some black high heels, that I can barely move with but Tess says, and I quote: "beauty is what hurts the most". I roll my eyes at the thought.

When I'm ready, I look at the mirror and smile. I look nice! My blonde hair is curled and the blue dress fits perfectly on my body. The make up is beautiful and the high heels make me look so much taller.

"So you like it?!" Tess asks and I nod.

"Of course, Tess!! You did an excelent job" I tell her and she thanks me. She goes to the bathroom and changes into a black dress that looks really good on her. Later she does her make up and hair, looking perfect.

I hear the music downstairs and people talking. The party already started!

Tess and I head down and look at the place. There were lights, food, loud music, and drinks. Most of the people were drinking beer but I'm NOT getting drunk today.

I grab a water bottle and sit in the couch, Tess next to me.

"Hey Lexi" I feel a warm hand touch my arm and I look behind, seeing the one and only Reece.

"What are you doing here?!" I snap and Tess pinches my arm. Ouch!

"Umm... She meant that she is... Um glad... Yea glad to see you" She mummbles and I roll my eyes.

"I'm not" I reply and she just groans.

"You guys are so difficult! I'm leaving this problem to you" Tess tells us and Reece chuckles, though I just walk behind Tess.

I hear Reece call for me but I just ignore.

I seat at the counter and look at the guy that was giving the drinks.

"One tequila shot please"
