I sigh and wipe my face. "I should get going." L said getting up from the couch. "I appreciate you checking on me." He nods and walks out the door.

I sit back on my couch with my ice cream and think to myself. "Why is L being so nice to me all of a sudden? Does he just genuinely care?"

After a while of watching my favorite Netflix shows I get a call. I look at my phone to see that it is Zach. I hesitate and then answer it. "What?" I grunt into the phone. "Becca what's wrong?" "What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"

"What do you mean?" I stressfully run my fingers through my hair. "Why did you mention Tyler in the first place when you were spreading the rumors?" He goes silent over the phone. "Because I was protecting you." "By saying that I cheated on him? You know if I was Tyler I would've beat your ass too." He sniffles over the phone. "Becky what's wrong with you?" "What's wrong with me? No you don't get to ask me that. What's wrong with you? How could you go behind my back and do that to me?"

I start crying. I swear I'm such a fucking baby. I hear my door knob rattle and I see L come in. He quietly shuts the door and brings me into a hug. 'Put him on speaker.' L says in sign language. I press the speaker button and wiper my face.

"Look Becca I'm sorry. But there is something wrong with you. You've changed. I don't know if it's something your dad did or hanging around Tyler but you've become a total ass-" L snatches the phone from me. "Listen to me you dick, the only person that has changed buddy, is you. You need to get your head out if your ass and realize the she is in a dark place right now. And part of it is because of you. So go ahead, continue to push her and make her feel even more worse about herself. When I find you, you will find out what the consequences are. Asshole."

I sigh and take the phone back before L could say anything else. "Becca who was that?" He repeated himself  couple of times then I hung up without saying goodbye. "It's going to be okay." L says assuringly. I nod. "I hope so." I smile but L's straight face doesn't change. "So what now?" I ask putting the ice cream away. "I've actually gotta go do something with the gang but I'll catch up with you later. Okay?" He slightly smiles. "Okay."

He closes the door behind him and fold the blanket on the couch and put it in a tiny storage closet. I look at my phone at what time it is: 5:30 pm. I sigh and walk over to the fridge and take out things to make alfredo.

I finish cooking about 45 minutes later and eat on my couch watching Netflix.

I finish eating and I head into the shower and by the time I get out it's 7. I get out and I get into some pajamas and lay in bed. I turn my phone off, stare at the dark ceiling and fall asleep.

The next morning, I get up and out of bed and head into the kitchen to make some avocado toast. While I'm waiting for my toast, I head into my closet and get out a pair of leggings with a Thrasher hoodie. I pull out my black vans and get dressed. I head into the bathroom and quickly brush and straighten my hair.

I head back into the kitchen and quickly eat my toast and wash my plate. I go into my bathroom again and brush my teeth and put on deodorant. I put my laptop in my bag along with all of my homework and grab my phone and put it in my hoodie pocket. I head downstairs to my ride, L awaiting for me.

I wave bye to Helda and hop on ththe motorcycle. "You're early. Any stops before we head to the school?" I yawn. "Coffee maybe?" I pull my phone and and see a test message from Kaelyn.

'Send me the address of the school." Shit I forgot she was starting today! I quickly send her the address and then put my phone away and out the helmet on. We head our way to 'Berry's Coffee' and go into the drive thru. "Hi my name is Any how can I take your order?" He looks at me. "Can I get a medium-sized iced mocha latte with light ice?"" Yes ma'am, will that be all?" I look back at L. "Can I just get a medium-sized black coffee?"

Amy finishes taking our order and we head to the slide door and pick up our coffee and head to the school.

We get there and this time instead of L dropping me off in front of the school he parks in the parking lot. "Why are you parking?"

"Because I go here now." He says with a sneer smirk on his face. "You've got to be kidding." He laughs and shows me his schedule. "Got it mailed yesterday."

"Okay then I guess." We walk in together side by side. I show him around as I get looks from everyone I ignore them. "HEY! Becca!" I turn around. "Replacing Zach and Ty already?" Ian, one of the other football players says with his guys behind him, laughing. I roll my eyes and see L get hostile. "L, no." I hold him back from hitting anyone and walk away. "Look I don't know what your other school was like, but this is how things work around here. People give looks, and say things that will bring you down. And for the past week, I've honestly gotten used to it."

"Well I'm not going to let you go through it. Alone. Not anymore."
