living on the edge

chapter 40 | florida day 1

lexee's point of view

Florida

i tugged my hood down further so it covered one of my eyes.
it was 4am. and my mom was way too hype for me to go to florida for a photoshoot.

my dad helped me get my bags from the trunk and then gave me a hug before sending me off.

"have fun, be careful, call us when you land. LOVE YOU!" my mom yelled from the passengers seat.
I waved from behind me and then walked to the ramp boarding my reserved plane.

once we took flight i was seated with my beats playing some of the weeknd while i responded to some emails on my laptop.

there was one from my agent.

Lexee,

on behalf of robert - REMEMBER TO GO ALONG WITH THE PLAN !!! oh and remember to fix your left turn on the runway, we'll see you after the show :)

i sighed and tapped my pink acrylics on the keyboard. the payback plan against alyssa gave me anxiety. i mean how did we even know if all this was true?

4 hrs & 53 mins later, i landed in orlando.
i got into my ride and they took me to my already booked hotel.

"hey mom, im at my hotel. big thanks for picking up." i raised my voice over the noisy lobby, "call me anytime before 4:30 because i have the big fancy dinner like usual with the crew tonight at 6. alright, love ya." i left her a message.

once i hassled my room key from the lady at the desk i made my way up to the 5th floor, room 538.

(a/n lmao lets skip to 4pm CAUSE IT GETS MAD BORING W ONLY LEXEE IN A ROOM)

4:20 pm :

my phone rang while i was grabbing a white towel to take a shower.

"wow, mom. a whole 10 minutes before i said not to call me."

"sorry, sweetie. your dad and i were out all day. just wanted to say that i love you and be careful and have fun tonight and tomorrow at the show."

"will do ..." my voice trailed off thinking about alyssa and i think my mom noticed.

"okay, well ... get ready i won't hold you back."

"thank you, bye, mom." i quickly hung up and shut the door, putting my phone roughly on the counter.

i stripped down and got in the warm shower. completely relaxed once i got out with my towel wrapped around my body until my phone buzzed with camerons name on it.

i groaned as i picked it up while wiping the fog off the mirror.

"what, cameron?" i snapped.

"woah calm yourself. i was just wondering if you got to florida yet..." he asked.

"yep, got in at 9 this morning. im kind of in a rush though so-"

"what did brynn and robert tell you to do to alyssa?" he cut me off.

"um, you'll find out once it gets out." i mumbled, opening my travel makeup kit.

"lexee... don't do something stupid. something that won't end well for you either."

"cameron, it's not gonna backfire on me alone, it'll just cause known tension between her and i. we're supposed to be bestfriends, we've always been fake to the paps, and now they'll know that we aren't so loyal to each other."

i heard him sigh through the phone, "can i see you once you get back to la-"

"gotta go, cameron, talk to you later." i quickly hung up since i wasn't very good at awkward conversations.

it was now 5:34pm and i just finished with makeup and hair. i had a natural eye with winged eyeliner and sheer plum lips. and my hair was now in big curls instead of pin straight.
i put on a pair of leather black jeans, black thigh high suede boots, and white halter tank top and a black cropped leather jacket.

i grabbed my wallet and phone, and left the hotel, catching my ride out front.

i arrived at the restaurant we were all meeting at and went inside. i spotted the crew and all the girls and made my way over to them.

"heyyy!" jac stood up from her seat, greeting me with a glass of champagne in her hand.

"hey girl!" i smiled, hugging her.

she lost her balance a bit and almost fell on to the table, "these heels, are trying to kill me." she laughed as i had just caught her.

"you sure it's those heels?" i teased, motioning towards the champagne in her hands.

"I've definitely missed you, brooks." jac shook her head.

i took my reserved seat that just had to be next to alyssa.

"someone definitely knows how to be tipsy without wearing heels." alyssa mentioned quietly to me while scanning the menu with her eyes.

i didn't answer her, but i sure as hell wanted to mention how tomorrow - backstage, everyone will just magically see on the big screen how she's been sneaking around with a guy. one that doesn't appear to look like her fiancé.
