[Twenty Two]

***Lexi's POV***

"Are you alright? Its four in the morning." Hailey said, flopping down onto my bed.

I sighed. "No." I patted the spot next to me, and she crawled over, resting her head on the other pillow.

"What's going on, then?" She asked gently.

"Andrew." I mumbled into my pillow. I turned my head to face her.

"What?" She asked, taken back.

"I know he did shit, but he was drunk. It's weird not talking to him, and acting like complete strangers. I- I-" I stuttered.

"Spit it out!" Hailey said.

"I think I miss him." I blankly said, and Hailey's eyes widened.

"What about Cameron?" She asked.

"Cameron? What? When did he get involved in this?" I asked, taken back.

"You know what, Lexi. What about Cameron?" She asked, standing her ground. I sighed.

"I don't know. I think it's just a phase. I can't get Andrew out of my head. There's to much history to be foregotten, Hailey." I said, looking up at the ceiling.

"That's true..." She trailed off.

"Is it worth it?" I asked.

"You can't lead Cameron on like this, you know." She said after a couple moments of silence, not answering my question.

"I'm-" Hailey cut me off.

"No, wait. You can't lead him on, Lexi. Honestly, Andrew changed you. You wouldn't be going back to the heart-breaker. You would be going for the good guy. Lex, you wouldn't be playing them like this. You gotta make a choice." Hailey whispered.

"Andrew hasn't changed me." I said, defending him. I turned my head to face her.

"He has, though. Cameron looks past all of it, he gets to you." She said.

I studied her face. "Andrew hasn't changed me. I don't have feelings for Cameron, I have feelings for Andrew."

"Alex?" I asked, surprised, opening the front door.

"We gotta talk." He said sternly.

I stepped outside, shutting the front door behind me. I pulled the sleeves from Jack G's hoodie over my hands, and sat on the step next to Alex.

"Well, talk." I said, after a couple moments of silence.

"Andrew's an ass for what he did, but he misses you, and you have to get back with him, and-" Alex rambled on, but I cut him off.

"Get back with him? Why?" I asked.

"I can't be the one to tell you." Alex mumbled, standing up. I stood up, too.

"No, tell me. It's like 9:45 in the morning, and I didn't wake up for nothing, Alex." I said, standing my ground.

"I can't." He said, angrily running a hand through his hair.

"And why not?" I spat, getting annoyed.

"I just can't." He said, and I could tell he was getting angrier and angrier.

"Tell me, Alex." I said, harshly.

"Because he's fucking in love with you, Lexi!" He shot back, and the look on his face was one that I will never forget: pure truth and regret.
