The best friends made their way to the bathroom and made sure no one else was in it before locking it off.
"My brother hasn't told me that Gretta has been a bitch to him or his friends lately. My threat worked mostly except she puts it all on me now," Jade leaned against the sinks, "you enjoy me getting into fights too much."
"My best friend kicking ass is one of my favorite things other than my other best friend's lips."
"Shut up," They both laughed and Beverly pulled out her makeup.
"Talk to me," Beverly commanded while putting Jade's hair up. "Explain your head from the moment you and Billy started talking to beating up Gretta." Beverly listened to every detail Jade spat out of her mouth and continued adding concealer to Jade's face.
"I just got so mad. I was so overwhelmed with Billy, I just wanted to get through my classes and leave."
"Who's the red head?"
"MadMax. Billy's stepsister. Her and I got close when we were still dating. She caught me singing Always Somewhere. It reminds me of our relationship except, he won't be back to love me again and I don't think he ever did love me. That's why I want to sing Still Loving You before we sing our duet. I think I was in love with him and that song is like loving someone that won't love you back."
"Did you guys ever say 'love' to each other?"
"No. It felt too soon." Beverly started applying concealer to Jade's knuckles.
"Alex and I saw it. You two loved each other even if you were together for such a short amount of time. I think you should let him explain."
"He said he would and that was the end of our conversation in the closet. He wasn't actually explaining. He said he wanted to protect me and it was for my own good."
"What if you ask him after school? I could slash his tires and you could give him a ride."
"You want me to do to him what he did to me before we got together?" Jade laughed. "I don't think that'll work and you aren't slashing his tires. I'm going over to his place for a sleepover with Max. She wants me to know the truth and she never gets to have friends over. I'm pretending I'm her math tutor."
"Then ask him there."
"If I have to pretend to be Max's tutor to come over, I don't think Billy and I should talk. As far as her parents know, I'm a friend of hers that's helping her with math."
