Chapter Sixteen~ Judgement.

Alecia's PoV.

We were all sitting in Dahlia's cozy living room having tea and surprisingly, having fun as well.

"Okay!" Michelle said exasperated. "I was a dumb kid! I thought a wasp was a butterfly, that's why I said 'a butterfly bit me.' Gimme a break people!"

We all laughed and her mom touched her cheek. "It's okay Mich."

"Whatever." She grumbled, then took a sip of her tea.

"It's getting late," grandma said. "We should call it a night now."

Dahlia nodded. "Trey you can stay in the guest room-"

"Awesome!" He ran up the stairs.

"Ally can sleep with Michelle."

"Yay!" Michelle said getting up.

"And Theresa and Jessica already know their rooms here."

We all got up and left Dahlia and aunt Jessica to clean up.

"Come on," Michelle said taking my arm. "I'll give you something to sleep in."

We ran up to her to her room.

I watched as she dug through her T-shirt drawer and her shorts to find me a good set.

"Here you go." She said handing them over.

I went inside her bathroom and changed then braided my hair.  When I came out, Michelle was in her pajamas too.

"So... Tell me." She said crossing her legs on the bed.

I sat in front of her.

"Tell you what?" I asked hesitantly.

She rolled her eyes at me. "What you were doing at Frazer Crest. Duh."

"It's kind of a secret..."

"Oooh I love secrets."

"Are you good at keeping them?"

She thought for a moment. "If it's a gossip secret, nope. Any other? Yes."

Good enough for me.

"I met up with Lucien Rathbone."

And that's when she started screaming.

It took a pillow and my threats to get her to quiet down.

"If you screamed at that, you're gonna have a heart attack when you hear what happened next."

"What happened next?" She asked raising her voice.

"I'll tell you if you promise A) Not to scream. B) Not to raise your voice and C) Not to tell anyone."

She nodded furiously. "Yes, yes and yes. Now tell me."

I took a deep breath.
