Lex
****
I can't believe he would do something like this. I mean don't get me wrong, my dad has done some pretty fucked up shit in my life but to follow Mia, just to see why I'm, or was, interested in her. I mean, what the fuck?
It's his damn suspicions are starting to get really annoying. He is having me watched. Just a precaution. I am his only kid, I get it, but damn. He is taking his creepiness to another level with this shit.
He had told me about his meeting with Mia earlier. He had said, "She is lovely but she isn't the girl for you. She is the type that will never be able to handle our life style." I had told him that I knew that. That was the reason I had told her to stay away. That he should have just let me handle this. I had handled it and then he had to go and pull this shit.
I pull in front of her house.
Why am I here again?
To apologize for my father's weird ass behavior.
And the way I let those people to talk about her, at the party, and I never said a word.
But maybe this will only make things worse.
I'm sure it will make things worse.
This is fucking crazy. I feel like an idiot.
I have her number, I could just send her a text.
Still creepy, she will wonder how I have her number.
The main room lights go out. Seconds later, a bedroom light comes on. From here, I have no way of knowing if it is her bedroom or not. I step out of the car and cross the street. Oh yeah Lex, like this is any less fucked up. I will probably just freak her out more. I don't care. I push the thought out of my mind.
Deep down, I know that the only reason why I am here is because I want to see her. Which is the real crazy part. I have never met a girl I have wanted to be around like I do Mia. She is different. A bit sassy. And I like that. She is a good girl. Sweet and caring but kinda snappy at the same time. And....
I hear a voice through the window. It's her. She is on the phone. Probably talking to Jessy, who is at the moment with Chris. He would flip his shit if he knew what I am doing right now. Again I don't care.
I just have to tell her I'm sorry and then I can get the hell out of here. I should have just gone to the front door but I'm not in the mood to deal with her grandmother. Not that I don't like the old woman, I do. She is a lot like her granddaughter. A bit on the spunky side.
I see Mia walking around in her bedroom. Her blinds are pulled up and I can see through her curtains. I had wondered what her bedroom would look like. She has white lights that hang around her bed. A laptop sits on top of that bed. Everything is put in its proper place and the room looks clean and girly. Just like I thought it would.

"I don't know why I did it, Jess. I was angry. I'm sick of people running over me. Telling me what I can and can't do."

I listen closely.

"Well, I have some savings. I have been putting in applications in everywhere. So, hopefully I will get a call soon. Anyway, where are you?"

She lost her job? Why?

"So, what you're basically saying is that you're staying with Chris tonight?"

Chris is going to end up being whipped, if he isn't careful. So says the man hiding in Mia's bushes, listening in on her conversation. That's not whipped. That's kinda stalkerish.

"Just promise you will be careful. I told you what Lex said-" she stops and the grumbles under her breath. "I'm not thinking about him! I'm just telling you what he said. And I don't care about him. Or what he does."

I see her roll her eyes. And I duck down, thinking that she might spot me.

"I can't help it, Jess. Lex was just so.... God, I don't think I can find a word that would fit him. It was like a magnetic pull between us. And then he left me. Left me to hear what everyone thought of me."
