「 FRATERNIZING WITH THE ENEMY 」

14 | It was kill or be killed

 "She's going to be okay", Vicky told us and everyone let out sighs of relief, "Whoever tied that flannel around her waist as a tourniquet saved her from losing too much blood" and everyone's eyes were on me.

"Thanks" Vicky said her eyes glancing at me before turning back around, "I'm going to take her home".

"You'll probably need this," I said to her handing her Kasey's car keys,

"I'll help you get her to the car" Valentino said as he lifted her up bridal style and they made their way to their cars.

"Thanks for helping her" Grayson said to me,

"Thanks Alex" Ethan piped up,

"We'll see you tomorrow then?" Will said and I nodded.

All three boys left and I stood there silently with Logan, our hands still entwined,

"I'll take you home" he told me and I nodded.

I followed him to his car and I sat in shotgun and he drove making his way to my house, it was a thirty-minute drive so I texted Mia telling her that I had a ride home.

The car ride was silent with only the radio playing in the background, but it wasn't and awkward silence, it was comfortable. I was utterly pooped by the time we reached my house, Logan didn't offer to walk me to the door this time and I understood why.

"Bye Logan, see you tomorrow"

"Bye Alexandra, take care"

I shot him a look, "it's Alex"

"Yeah yeah whatever Alexandra" he smirked at me and I chuckled shaking my head at him. I said another quick bye to him before he drove off and I walked up to my house.

I unlocked the front door and walked in expecting no one to be home at the moment but I froze when I heard Noah's voice,

"Alex? You're home early"

"Uh yeah" I replied hoping he didn't see the blood on my-

"Is that blood on your clothes?" too late.

"No...I... Uh dropped ketchup all over myself, you know clumsy me" I said trying to brush it off lightly but he grabs my arm and spins me around.

"Is this your blood?!"

"N-no"

He looked at me dead in the eyes, "What happened?" he asked,

"Nothing" I replied and I mentally cringed at my response.

"Alex" he said sternly, "what happened?"

I paused; how would I tell him this? Could I even tell him this?

"Alex you can't come home looking like this and then not tell me what you were doing!"

"Are you kidding me?" I asked in disbelief,

"Do I look like I'm kidding" and I took in his features, he was fuming.

"Well you've got to be kidding because you're a freaking hypocrite Noah! You did the exact same thing a few days ago!" and he didn't reply.

I spun around walking away, "I was helping Kasey"

"Kasey? Kasey DiLautrentis?" his voice laced in astonishment, "I thought I told you to stay away from them",

"They needed my help",

"They're the enemy!" he yelled before I walked upstairs to my room and shutting the door behind me.
