I'm Just Dreaming

Chapter 3

                                   Alex's POV

[Right after Lila punched Josh]
"Alex can we go to the mall, I'm in the mood for coffee?" Lila said while leading me down the path to the mall.

"Lila you know that I love you and that you're like a sister to me but you can't just go around breaking my brother's nose" I said concerned.

"Look I'm sorry if you were hurt watching your brother get his nose broken, but I can't see him bully you around school. I don't want him to do that, humiliate you. And anyways with that attitude towards everyone he was bound to get bitch slapped by 'someone', my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner" Lila said.

"Ok Lila but-" I was cut off by Lila" Also you know that nobody treats me like that and gets away with it, I was controlling myself because he's your brother but snatching reading my texts was too much, he's just lucky that the only damage I did was a broken nose because you know how protective I am of my phone".

"Ok, fine, he did deserve it, and I gotta admit that was so cool and savage, I just can't believe you did that. But won't you get in trouble for punching him, detention probably?" I said out of breath while walking with Lila.

"I know right, I felt soo cool,and it's good the punch happened I needed that bottled up anger to come out on someone best be Josh who keeps messing around with us, and about detention I don't care I'll do the time, the look on Josh's face is reward enough. He was so surprised!." Lila said and laughed.

We went to the mall, got coffee, did some window shopping, tried on some clothes and then left for each others house.

When I came home I saw my mom sitting on the couch,"I have been waiting for you Alex, where were you?" she asked.

My head started spinning thinking of everything that I did wrong, did I leave the water on this morning? or did she find out about my ex boyfriend(thinking about him makes me wanna puke, punch someone and die)?.

"I went to the mall with Lila" I said with confidence.

"Ah yes that is what I want to talk to you about, Lila" she said while gesturing me to sit beside her.

I put my bag on the kitchen and sat next to her close, but not too close.

"Yes mom, what is it?"I asked wanting to get out of the room because of the tension.

"As you know today Lila punched your brother today in the bus, infront of your eyes and you did nothing. Why is that?"

"He was being mean to me he hit me on my head and when Lila put him in his place he forcefully grabbed her phone and read her texts so she got mad and punched him, everyone knows Lila loves her phone and is very protective over her things, if he did that I would punch him too" I said truthfully not leaving out anything.

"I don't want you hanging out with Lila anymore" my mom said.

"What? what type of question is that? No." I said raising my voice a little.

"What? You are saying that like it's easy as pouring milk in a bowl. You of all people should know that I will NEVER EVER do that, she has been there for me since 3rd grade. For fucks sake it's been 7 years of our friends, I don't know how you can possibly even get that thought in your mind" I shouted.

"Control you language Alex, I am your mother" She said shouting.

"Then you should better understand my feelings, school is getting harder and harder, making friends, hell staying friends with people is hard and you're asking me to throw away the only friend that cares. No." I said out of breath.
