I always had a knack for trouble following after me. I always found myself attracted to the different. So when I fell into his trap, I found out that he was just like me, but worse.

[Inspired by the song...
I was worried. I hadn't heard or seen Jess since he dropped me off at school the day before. I texted him, but none of them were going through. I even tried calling. It just went to voice mail. My only hope was that he was alright.
I was at the parlor, sitting and eating an ice cream alone. Alone, because that was how I felt. I knew that I had attached myself to him quite quickly. I couldn't help it. He was what I needed. As I sat there I watched a group of girls walk in. It was the cheer squad.
It made sense that they were together even after school. It was Tuesday, their usual team meeting. I was avoiding Mel as best as I could. I was being a coward. How was I to tell her that her boyfriend had feelings for me?
It took me a moment to recognize Lexy amongst the girls. She looked completely different, she looked like me. I frowned, not liking the thought that had just popped into my mind. But I couldn't help but see it. She even had on a pair of fake glasses, ones that matched my own.
I was hidden from their view but could clearly see and hear them. "Oh my gosh, you are right. He is so hot. But would you really go for a murderer?" One of the cheerleaders asked. I knew instantly who they were taking about, and that alone angered me. The word murderer. Jess was far from it.
"Oh come on, it would be all the more dangerous." Lexy said with a flick of her new hair.
"Lex stop it, you know that he is with Babe. Our friend Babe." Mel said, giving her a weirded out look.
"Really? If she really was my friend, she wouldn't have gone out with my crush." She scoffed and that was when everything fell into place. She still had a crush on him. I thought she was over him, she even dated another guy after Jess left.
I started feeling bad. My stomach began to churn. I needed to get out of there. "Lex!" Mel gasped, standing up. "How dare you?! You know that it isn't her fault. You even told me that you were over him."
"Well I lied. If you really want to hang out with a whore like her, then be my guest. You can leave." Both Mel and Lex was standing. They stared each other down.
"What do you mean whore?" Mel asked, I knew that look. She was angry. Calling her friend a whore is like calling her one, but calling her best friend one is like calling her mom one. Lexy was done for.
"Remember after the tenth grade holidays. When she was supposedly raped. How can we believe a back stabbing bitch like her? For all we know she could have just slept with the man and when she got caught, she played it off." I gasped. It hurt, I never told a lot of people what actually happened in that hotel room. I trusted her. She knew everything. Tears began to proud out of my eyes.
I silently stood up, my melted ice cream long forgotten. I walked up to them. That was when everyone suddenly got quite. The laughs from the cheer girls froze. But they could barely contain the smirks that were plastered across their faces. Mel looked hurt and Lex looked shocked, scared even. As if she had been caught with her hand in the cookie jar.
I walked up to her, suddenly blinded by red. "I am sorry that you think I stole Jess from you. I mean from the way I see it, you can't steal something from someone when it was never theirs. And I can't believe you'd think I'd lie about... that. I am not desperate. And lastly Lexy. Maybe you should look in the mirror and find your own personality and stop trying to be someone you are clearly not." I pulled off her fake glasses and flung it on to the table.
Mel burst out laughing and I had to try and hold my own back. I gently tugged Mel out the parlor. "Thank you for standing up for me." I said, as I walked her home. We lived around the same neighbourhood.
"Anytime. What are best friends for?" She winked, knocking my shoulder playfully. And there it was, the guilt that settled in my stomach once more.
I was about to tell her about Wes when we stopped in front of her house and there he was. He had a bruise on his cheek, white medical tape on his lip, and a black eye. I guessed from Mel's reaction that she hadn't seen him in a while. She gasped and rushed over to tend to him.
Though Wes wasn't really looking at her, he was looking at me. "Oh my gosh, who did this to you baby?" Mel rushed to check over his wounds, whilst I stood there, trying to look away from his stare.
I was just hoping that he wouldn't tell her, not right then that is. "I just got jumped. It's fine, you should have seen the other guy." He joked, kissing Mel's cheek. He looked at her with love. I just hoped Jess's theory was wrong. But it didn't look wrong after everything that happened.
"Hey Mel, can I talk to Babe alone for a sec?" she nodded and rushed in to grab some ice for the swelling. I made sure to take a few steps away from him. His eyes visibally saddened when he saw that.
"I am sorry. I didn't mean to hit you Babe. I really am sorry. But I don't want you near him anymore." he took a step closer. I matched him with one step back.
"What?" I asked aghast, I didn't like being told how to live my life.
"Babe he isn't safe. I think of you as my sister, especially after I lost mine. I don't want the same thing to happen to you." I froze.
"What do you mean? What does that have to do with Jess?" I asked, not knowing where thst conversation was going to go.
"Jess killed her."
