lexee's point of view
the next day

"LEXEE SHEA BROOKS, WAKE UR LIL ASS UP." heidi's voice screamed through my phone, jolting me awake.

"we're still on FaceTime?" i mumbled, squinting at my phone.

"YES. YOU FELL ASLEEP ON ME, BUT CHECK @INSIDEMAGCON ON INSTAGRAM. YOU DIDNT TELL ME YOU LEFT THE AFTERPARTY WITH CAMERON."

"first off, may you please stop yelling. and second," i giggled, "i didn't leave the afterparty with cam..."

heidi and i made eye contact and then i started to think, "wait...i can't even remember the afterparty."

"oh my god. please tell me you didn't get your seventeen year old self drunk last night." heidi pleaded.

"i didn't drink at all." i said, sitting up. my head instantly pounding and i felt dizzy, causing me to flop back on to my back.

i groaned and covered my eyes with my hands.

"that's it. you're hungover." heidi settled things.

"how did this happen." i whined out.

"i don't know. don't know if i want to know, but im coming over. stay up in your room though so your parents don't suspect anything."

our call ended and i pulled myself off my bed and into the shower.

then i put on some nike pros and an old cheer competition shirt. i looked in the mirror and frowned at the shirt. id missed cheering so much ever since i had to quit.

"goodmorning mr brooks. im just uh, here to help lex with her uhh ... ge-geometry homework ...?" i heard heidi's voice coming from downstairs.

and then there was no more talking but her footsteps quickly running up to my room.

"alright. i think we're safe." she said, closing the door behind her.

"geometry homework?" i laughed.

"i couldn't be like. 'oh hi lexee's dad! im here this early just because your daughter got drunk last night at the afterparty with an older boy somewhere around her and now she's suffering a horrible headache and nausea.'"heidi smiled.

"okay, you're right." i sighed, taking my hair out of the towel.

"so, how about we go get a strawberry banana smoothie from somewhere and we can think back on what happened late last night?" heidi suggested.

__

"if i get spotted wearing these ass tight shorts and a yellow t shirt with my untied vans, im suing you." i whispered to heidi as we waited in line for the curing smoothie.

"yeah yeah." she said, handing me a pair of sunglasses.

my phone started ringing and i looked at the contact name, "oh my god. nash is calling me. nash hasn't called me since everything happened with us. what do i do?!"

"you answer it, babe." heidi laughed, grabbing a straw and napkin.

"hello?" i answered, walking on to the side walk, away from the smoothie stand.

"lex.", he laughed into the phone, "what did you do to my boy, cameron?"

"uhh what do you mean, nash?" i rolled my eyes.

a loud groan was heard in the background.

"what was that?" i asked.

"ahah you hear that? that's cam right now, tossing and turning in his bed because he got way too drunk last night. and there's millions of pictures all over the Internet of you leaving with him, hanging off of his arm."

my stomach dropped and i had to swallow down the nauseous feeling.

"there's um- there's picture of cam and i suspiciously leaving alyssa's after party together?" i gulped.

"yeah. don't be surprised if you get a call from your manager soon, because he already called me up 5000 times."

"GOT YOUR SMOOTHIE!" heidi yelled, walking over to me.

i quickly hung up on nash and ran for the public trash can, throwing up into it.

"oh god." heidi said, running over to me, "nothing to see here, people. just your average teen throwing up in a garbage can right off the beach." she shooed off people staring at me.

"heidi, im gonna kill you." i mumbled, dizzily standing up right.

i drank half the smoothie during the car ride home and it helped a little bit.

my phone rang again but this time it was a group call with robert and brynn.

"oh god." i said and then answered, "h-hi guys. how's this fine morning goin for ya-"

"save the sweet talk, kid. your face is all over the newest PEOPLE magazine and you're up on every magazines website." robert said, with a disappointed tone.

"what even happened last night?" i asked.

"from the looks of it, you got drunk at alyssa's after party. then you met up with cameron there, and you left together." he filled me in.

"but i woke up in my bed and he woke up in his." i said.

"well that's good. for now. we don't know where you both went afterwards because we got the paparazzi to stop following you too. but don't be so sure of what happened last night." brynn said.

i face palmed, as we drove up to heidi's house.

"so, we're making Nash bring Cameron over to our offices. and you're coming too. we need to sort all of this out." Robert said.

"but rober-"

he cut me off, "no whining. you're coming over at 11 sharp, you hear?"

"yes." i mumbled.

the call ended and i looked at heidi.

"im guessing we need to go back to your place to get you dressed in something more appropriate?" she asked.

i nodded, and we pulled back out of her driveway.

my phone dinged with a text.
