//you and i\\

eleven☆

The elevator bell rings and I head out of the elevator to the lobby. I walk past check-in and head outside to see my favorite Jeep and my best friend. "Becca!" I run up to her and hug her. "Becca why you living on this side of town? It's dangerous over here." I sigh. "Jenny, I had no other choice. But I promise. I'm safe. Here I want you to meet someone." I grab her hand and bring her in the lobby. "Helda?" I hear footsteps approach from behind. "Yes, dear?" I smile and turn around, Jenny doing the same. "Jenny, this is Helda. She's the one who let me stay here for free and she takes care of me here. Helda, this is my best friend since diapers, Jenny." Jenny waves at Helda and Helda smiles and waves back.

"So Bec I have a little surprise." I raise an eyebrow and look around for any clues. "I'm staying the night with you! My mom said I could as long as I text her we're safe." I smile. "Sounds like fun! But Jen can I ask you something?" She shakes her head yes, slowly. "Can we go to my house, or my old house, and finish gathering my stuff before my dad gets home?" She shakes her head yes. "Rebecca, dear, I can get L to go with you as well, just in case something happens." I look at Helda and then look at Jenny.

"What do you mean?" Jenny asks. I scratch my head and look at Helda. "And who's L?" I laugh. "You don't need to know. We'll be okay, Helda." Helda laughs and rolls her eyes. "Nonsense. He's going with you whether you like it or not. Let me call him now so your friend can meet him." Helda walks over to the phone behind the reception desk and calls a number on the phone. "Is he your boyfriend?" Jen asks whispering in my ear. "That will never happen. He's rude and he's a gang member." I whispered back. She gasps. "He's what!" I sigh. "Yeah, he's apart of the Eastside Jaguars." And now that I think about it, I can kind of see why Jenny doesn't want me to be on the Eastside. Gang members everywhere, gunshots are heard every night before I go bed, some kind of drug deal or robbery on the news nightly.

L comes walking through the lobby to Helda. "Mhm?" He says looking at me and Jenny raising a brow at Jenny with his normal straight but smirked face. "She's going to her dad's tomorrow with her friend. You are going to protect them if anything happens. Got it?" He rolls his eyes. "Whatever you say, boss. Is her little friend going? I can't take the bike if her friend is going." Helda sighs. "You can't go anywhere without that bike, can you? You're taking her friend's car."

I take Jenny up to my room while Helda holds L back. We walk into the elevator and I hit the close button and the two-button. "And you're sure he's not your boyfriend? He's kinda sexy." I laugh. "No, Jenny, he's not. He's not even a friend. And I still have all of that drama with Tyler and Zach. I don't want to worry about boys right now. I just want to have a girls' night. "Well then let's call over Lilian!" I laugh. "Alright, I guess. But come on he is pretty-" "No!" I say laughing.

As Jenny was calling up Lilian in the room I step outside of my hotel room and head my way to the elevator and I hear a door open from behind me. "Oi! Rebecca!" I turn around to see Kaelyn. "Hey! Kaelyn!" I smile and hug her. "Are you doing anything tonight?" I ask. "Uhh. Actually, no I don't I just finished moving my stuff in. What's up?" I push the hair out of my face and tuck it into a tiny ponytail with a scrunchie. "Me and two friends from school were going to have a sleepover, I wanted to ask if you wanted to be apart of it. They both attend Webber too so the more you know, the better you'll fit in?" She smiles. "Yeah! Let me go get a couple of things, I haven't had a sleepover in forever!"

A few minutes later I get a knock on my door. I walk up to the door, open it, and let in Lilian. She sets her stuff down next to Kaelyn's. "Lili, this is Kaelyn, she lives a few doors down from me. We met earlier today, and she'll be attending Webber on Monday."

As everyone gets comfortable and takes showers we all sit down on the couch for some classic Netflix and chill. I guess we can say that Kaelyn is apart of us now and all she has to do is meet Casey.

I feel kind of bad though because it kind of seems like we're replacing Zach. But what Zach did to me, was terrible.

I get up and head into the kitchen to go and make some more popcorn. I hear a ring from my phone off of the counter. I pick it up and see who the caller is. I read the number and it's Zach. "I'll be right back, I have to go take this." Jenny raises an eyebrow. "It's Zach." She and Lilian shake their head, yes and I head into my bedroom and shut the door. "Hello?" I say with tears rolling through my eyes... "Rebecca, I have something serious to tell you." I wipe my face. "What?"He sighs. "Becky, you can't believe what Tyler told you. I promise you, I know I said all of that shit about you, and Jenny, and Lilian. But believe me, I didn't mean to call you guys sluts and whores for me. I didn't mean to say you were all over me and Tyler. I didn't mean to say you were a bitch that controlled me and whatever I did. I didn't mean to call you a fat ass and I didn't mean to call you crazy. I didn't mean to tell them that your dad was a psycho alcoholic."

I was shocked. Tyler didn't give me any specifics but why would Zach say that? And why would he mention my dad? He was the only one who knew how angry my dad got when he was drunk. I start crying heavily. "Why Zach? I've known you my whole life, I don't understand how you could say things like that! Zach you don't realize how much that hurts especially my dad since me and my dad-" "I WAS HIGH!" I shut up and stop sobbing. "What do you mean?" I quiver and bite my fingernails and sit on the edge of my bed.

"My brother, he had friends over the night before. He made me take drugs and drink all sorts of alcohol that I didn't want to. I was angry. I'm sorry."
