"WAKE UP SLEEPY-HEADS!"

I, along with Jason who is still on FaceTime, jolted awake screaming. I looked over at my closed door and my eyes widened. I nearly scream again.

It's Alyx.

"Alyx! How did you get in my room?!" I exclaimed and she just laughed.

"I remembered where you keep your spare key. Duh." She said so nonchalantly like I'm supposed to expect her to break into my house at six in the morning.

"What the fuck?" Jason asked groggily. I would usually melt over his sleepy 'I just woke up' voice but I am preoccupied at the moment.

"Get dressed. You're driving me to school. Hi Jason." Alyx said sitting down on the floor by the door. I turned my head and looked at Jason on the phone and he looks equally confused.

"You're seeing this too right?" I whispered so he could hear me, although of course I'm sure Alyx heard me too. Jason nodded slowly.

"Yeeeeeah. Do you want me to come over?" He asked. I looked back at Alyx and she smiled at me.

Alyx SMILED at me. I'm concerned.

"No. You go ahead back to sleep and I'll call you later." I said.

"Okay." He mumbled and I hung up. I slowly slid out of bed and stared at Alyx. She seems...off.

Of course she seems 'off', she broke into my house at six a.m. for Christ's sake. But she's not being evil and bleh. I mean, we had our whole being friends again talk and I told her there is no way in hell.

"Alyx, why can't you drive yourself to school?" I asked. She shrugged.

"I don't have my car. I took an Uber here." She chirped. My eyebrows raised in high concern for her mental health.

"Why didn't you Uber to Peter's house? Or school?" I asked.

"I dumped Peter. Kenny, I am hell bent on being best friends again. I will do anything. My therapist says that if I see something I want I should go for it. I want our friendship and Peter is the reason we stopped being best friends." Alyx explained. I slouched as I let out a long sigh.

I don't think she realizes she is the reason, not Peter. I would forgive Peter before I forgive Alyx. I'm not saying I'd forgive either of them any time soon but chronologically that's how it would happen.

"Go get showered. I'll wait here. My therapist says patience is a virtue." Alyx urged. I awkwardly nodded and stood up to get some clothes and take a shower.

Showers are one of the best places to think about important things. Things like how I'm falling in love with Jason or more importantly, ALYX BROKE INTO MY HOUSE! She's crazy. I really think she is. I don't know who is my main problem at the moment. Alyx or Stevie?

Okay, of course Stevie is a much, MUCH larger problem being her dad wants to murder my boyfriend.

Jeez, why can't I just have decent, normal friends?! My current best friend is my boyfriends older brother with a drug problem for crying out loud!

Of course I don't mind and I'm actually very proud of Danny for how far he has come in his sobriety. But still.

I get out of the shower and change in the bathroom so I don't have to face Alyx just yet. I put on a pair of light ripped skinny jeans and a yellow loose fit crop top.
