Alexandrea's P.O.V

"Alex!" A knock on the door woke me up and I sat up on my bed. Groaning and rubbing my eyes, I stood up and walked to open the door.

"Don't tell me you just woke up" Bex said as she strolled into my room with Zoey following her.

"Okay, I won't tell you" I yawned as I went back to my bed and pulled the covers over me so that I can go back to sleep.

"What do you think you're doing?" Zoey asked me watching me.

"Sleeping?" I grumbled as I snuggled further into the sheets. As I was about to let unconsciousness take over me, the duvet was roughly yanked away and the curtains were suddenly drawn revealing the bright rays of the sun that almost turned me blind.

"Ugh go away" I groaned shutting my eyes.

"No! Stand up!" Zoey scolded as she arranged the scattered books on my desk. Bex walked over and pulled my legs.

"No!" I yelled as Bex dragged my leg while I held on to the headboard. My grip was so hard my knuckles were turning white so I let go and landed on Bex who landed on a sleeping bag.

"Get off me" she groaned as I rolled off her.

"It's your fault" I said while standing up as she stoodok up as well.

"You slept in a sleeping bag last night?" Zoey asked as she gave the sleeping bag a weird look.

"No I didn't, Ni-" I caught myself before I could spill. "Neither did uh...my mum" I said, not making sense at all. Zoey raised an eyebrow at me and so did Bex.

"Then why is it laid?" Bex asked, knowing something was up.

"I just laid there to erm....rest yesterday" I said and Zoey nodded but Bex narrowed her eyes at me. I gave her a look that says 'later' and she nodded.

"So we are here so we can all go for spa" Bex smiled and Zoey smiled back in agreement. I was the only one that wasn't smiling.

"What do you think Alex? Just us girls, at a spa, relaxing" Zoey smiled looking at me and I gave her a bored look.

"I think we should eat then come back home for Netflix and chilling" I said.

"I guess we have to neglect what you think then" Zoey said and I groaned.

"And you look like you need a spa" Bex said and I glared at her.

"She's right, your hair look like a bird's nest" Zoey chuckled and I glared at her too before sighing and sitting on the edge of my bed.

Bex walked to my wardrobe and started looking got clothes while Zoey was cleaning my room. I guess Zoey could tell by the weird look I was giving her that what she is doing is..... unusual.

"I'm sorry, I have a problem. I don't like it when a place is not organized or clean" she explained as she put the folded sleeping bag in the closet while I nodded. I furrowed my eyebrows when I remembered last night. Nick was here but now he's gone.....

"What are you doing? Go and freshen up!" Bex yelled as she gave one of my clothes a sour look and threw it on the floor with the rest while Zoey yells at her to stop being messy. I roll my eyes and started to undress but then I saw Zoey staring at me with horror. I was wondering what she was staring at then I remembered, ooooooh, the scars.....

"Shit! What happened?" She asked as she stared at the scars on my leg. She didn't even see the one on my belly or back and she's like this? I thought as I took my red towel and wrapped it around my waist so I was fully covered. The sweater my grandma gave me reached a little above my knee and my towel around my waist was a little above my ankle and my socks covered the rest.

"It's erm...." I trailed off uncomfortably and Bex noticed this so she threw one of my shirt at Zoey to grab her attention.

"It's personal, she is not comfortable talking about it" Bex explained.

"Oh" she nodded and I walked to the bathroom awkwardly and undressed there. I stepped into the shower and was about to reach for my vanilla scented body soap but there was nothing. I groaned, not because I didn't have another but because I was too lazy to get another one and because I'm out of vanilla scented ones.

"Bex!!!" I yelled as I stood behind the door in the bathroom.

"I'm busy" she yelled back and I rolled my eyes.

"Zoey!!!" I yelled again hoping she will answer.

"What??" She yelled back.

"Can you help me get another body soap?" I yelled "please?" I added.

"Ughh.....where is it?" She yelled after groaning.

"Bex will tell you" I yelled back and faced the wash-hand basin so that I could brush. I took my brush and stared at myself in the mirror. Dare I say it, I looked better. At least better than days before because I slept without nightmares even though the time I'm sleeping is not healthy for me. I brushed my teeth and minutes later Zoey was yelling through the door.

"Your body soap is here" she yelled and I sighed.

"Took you long enough" I said as I opened the door a little and took the body wash. "Thanks anyway" I said and closed the door, locking it.

I got in the shower and didn't check the flavor before rubbing it on my body. Then I smelt it, Candy. I loved candy flavored body soap but it smells too sweet which makes me want to cringe. I sighed realizing I had no choice since there was no vanilla and used it. I finished bathing and found myself humming 'Picture To Burn' by Taylor Swift.

I dressed back in my sweater and the socks then wrapped the towel around my waist so that I can cover as much scars as possible to avoid freaking Zoey out. I walked out of the bathroom and Bex was styling Zoey's hair.

"I'm done!" I announced and saw the laid out jeans and long-sleeve top on the bed. I took it and dressed up pairing it with a white canvas.

I glanced at Zoey and smiled at her outfit. It was simple and cute.

Checking Bex who was fighting with Zoey's hair, she was also nicely dressed.

After I finished scanning theirs, I stood in front of my full length mirror and ran my hands along my jeans. I frowned when my eyes caught a purple hairband around my wrist. Wait....so it wasn't a dream?

A smile grew on my lips after I realized who put it there. But how did he leave? And when? I didn't even notice...

"Alex, can I borrow this sweater, it's really cute and fluffy?" Zoey asked while holding up the grey sweater from my grandma.

"No!" I snapped "I'm sorry, I mean I can't because it was given to me by someone special" I apologized.

"Oh! It's okay" she smiled then gave it to me and I almost choked on laughter when I saw her hair.

"Bex! What did you do to her hair?" I laughed as I folded the sweater and put it in the laundry.

"What do you mean?" Zoey said with confusion and walked to the mirror while Because smiled nervously.

"Bex!!" Zoey screamed as she saw the tangled mess on her head.

"Hey! It's not that bad" I said and hid a smile while Bex shoved me lightly and Zoey was giving us the death glare.

"I just wanted to give it a try, I've never done it before" Bex defended and I giggled trying to hold my laughter.

"A try?? I asked you before we started and you told me you were a pro!" Zoey said as she glared at Bex.

I put my hair in a ponytail using the purple hairband and took my phone from the desk. While Bex and Zo were arguing, I held up my phone and took a picture of the two of them. I took three more pictures before they noticed and started running after me. I ran out of the room and down the stairs before Bex jumped on my back, then followed by Zo and we were sent rolling down the stairs. Bex fell on me and Zoey was laying on Bex.

"Ugh get off of me" I groaned and Zo rolled off Because before Bex rolled of me.

"My goodness! What happened?" My mom said as she came running from the kitchen. I've decided to forgive my mom because ever since I started to ignore her, I didn't see her drink so I'm sure she felt bad. Besides I miss her so much.

"Morning Mrs Dwayne" Zoey said standing up and dusting herself while my mom pulled her into a hug.

"Susan" Bex said as she stood up and hugged my mom as my mom hugged back.

"Morning mom" I smiled and she was obviously taken aback but she pulled me into a hug too.

"I've missed you" she whispered as she hugged me. After she didn't pull away for sometime, I laughed awkwardly and pulled away from her.

"How are you Bexlee?" My mom smiled .

"I'm doing great!" Bex grinned while Zoey stood there awkwardly.

"That's good" my mom smiled and the faced Zoey " And Zoey dear, how are you? If you are going to be friends with them, I hope you'll be able to cope with their craziness" my mom laughed.

"Don't worry well teach her" Bex laughed and Zoey chuckled as she put an arm over Bex's shoulder.

"Breakfast is ready" she said as she went back to the kitchen and came back with plates. I found out we were having fried potato slices and chicken sauce. My mouth watered at the sight and in few minutes, we all finished eating.

"Well, we'll be going now, bye mom" I kissed her cheek and she smiled as I dragged my friends out of the house. Bex brought her car and Zoey doesn't have a car I guess so we took Bex's car. Bex sat in the front with Zoey and I sat at the back.

Bex put the radio on and 'Dusk Till Dawn' by Zayn started playing. Two seconds later, we were singing our lungs out.

"But you'll never be alone, I'll be with you from dusk till dawn, I'll be with you from dusk till dawn.." we sang and I have to admit, Zoey had a nice voice. Soon we were parked in front of a mall. We entered the spa section and we were greeted by a woman probably in her late 20s. We entered and Bex couldn't stop squealing in excitement if she saw a particular instrument she knew.

Hours later, I was relaxed as slices of cucumber was put on my eyes and a white creamy thing on my face. My wet hair was wrapped in a towel and my legs were being taken care of by a pedicurist. I took the cucumber slices on my eyes and threw them in my mouth as the spa woman glared at me.

"I could be like this forever" Zoey smiled as she was in the same position as Bex and I.

"Eddy would surely provide that once you two get married" Bex teased and Zoey hit her a lightly as she blushed.

"What do you mean? We are friends" she blushed.

"For now" I said and smirked when she glared at me.

"Yeah, for now." Bex agreed as she chose shiny green as the color she wants the pedicurist should use for her nails while Zoey chose a bright pink.

"Do you want to paint yours as well?" The worker smiled warmly and I shook my head. She packed up her instrument and gave me a final treatment before leaving. A manicurist came next.

"That'll be all for me, thank you" I smiled at the manicurist and she nodded and left.

"No manicure? "Zoey asked and I shook my head.

"Nah, I'm good. I'm hungry" I admitted and stood up before a lady pushed me down softly and started applying some stuff to my face and scrubbing it. Geez, I think my face is about to fall off..

"Who's paying?" Zoey asked.

"Me" Bex said and Zoey looked sad.

"I want to contribute too, I don't want you to spend money on me like some charity case" she said sadly.

The woman scrubbing my face stopped and gave Zoey a sour look. I glared at her and she continued scrubbing my face and applying different products.

"Hey! You're not a charity case and you'll never be, okay? Especially since you are our friend now" Bex assured and she smiled.

"Are you sure? I don't want it to feel like I'm using you guys because I'm poor" she frowned and I rolled my eyes at her.

"You are not using us or poor, friends are supposed to care about each other and we care about you, okay?" I said and she nodded "Now turn that frown upside down" I smiled and she smiled back. I couldn't take more of the scrubbing and applications of products on my face so I said I wanted to use the toilet and went outside.

I walked outside the spa building and took a deep breath. I smiled to myself and was about to enter before I bumped into a girl that looks my height but not my age. She looks like she's probably sixteen but like a model.

"Oh I'm so sorry" she apologized and picked up her shopping bags. Multiple bags spilled on the floor and my mouth hung open in surprise. Looks like Bex has a twin....

"It's okay" I smiled and helped her with countless shopping bags on the floor. Soon we picked up everything and my hand was full.

"Please if you don't mind, can you help me with these to my car?" She asked and my jaw dropped the second time. This girl has a car? At her age? Maybe I should stop judging people, I always end up surprised.

"Yeah! No problem" I said and we walked to her car. The car looked familiar but I couldn't place where I've seen it before. She opened the back door and placed the bags in there as I placed the ones on my hand there as well. She locked the door and turned to me.

"Thanks a lot, by the way I'm Kelly" she introduced herself as she held out a hand.

"Alex" I smiled and shook her hand before letting go.

"Sorry I had to disturb you, I just came here to get few things" she smiled and flipped her brown hair over her shoulder.

"Yeah, I can see they are very few" I laughed glancing at the back of her car and realized what I said " oh I'm really sorry, I'm not a fan of shopping that why"

"It's okay" she chuckled.

"Well my friends are probably looking for me now, bye Kelly" I waved as I walked away.

"Bye" she waved back and got into the familiar car. I shook it away and walked back into the spa building then I met Zoey and Bex laughing on their way as they walked out.

"Where were you? I thought you got lost again" Bex scolded as she saw me.

"You've been lost here before?" Zoey giggled and I glared at her.

"Don't blame me! This place is really big" I defended, pouting. They laughed as we decided to buy lunch and head to my place.

We bought lots of doughnuts and drinks instead of buying actually food for lunch and headed to my place. My mom left a note saying she went out for lunch with a colleague. Hm... colleague indeed.

Bex and Zoey took shopping bags up the stairs to my room which I never knew about.

"Did you guys buy anything at the mall?" I asked and Zoey nodded.

"We bought some stuff" Bex said.

"You didn't tell me" I frowned.

"Because you don't like shopping" she rolled her eyes and dropped the bags on the floor. Zoey, being a neat freak, arranged the bags at one side of the room immediately and headed to my laundry basket to sort out my laundry clothes.

"Oh my God! Alex!" Zoey groaned as she arranged the clothes in the laundry basket. Who arranges dirty clothes?

"What? They are dirty so they don't need arrangement" I said and Bex opened a can of Pepsi and took a gulp.

"Of course they do! The way they are scattered is disturbing" she grumbled. I shrugged and started eating doughnuts then stepping it down with Pepsi. Zoey saw us eating but she was more focused on arranging my dirty clothes.

"Alex? What is my brother's hoodie doing here?" Zoey asked in confusion as she held it up.
