Farah stared at her phone for a few moments waiting for another response. when she didn't get one back, she began to worry that she said something wrong. "fuck" she muttered to herself. "shit."

she tossed her covers off of her body and rolled over onto her stomach. her fingers began rapidly typing out an apology text that was swiftly deleted. Farah started at the 'read' underneath her text message for a moment then tossed her phone to her side. sighing, she rolled onto her back again and decided to get ready for the day.

as Farah got out of bed, she became aware of the loud sounds coming from down the hall. she glanced over at Petunia who was sleeping soundly on her bed next to the nightstand. furrowing her eyebrows, she decided to investigate.

Farah tiptoed around her dog, being careful not to wake her from her slumber. she carefully opened the door and left it cracked open for Petunia when she decided to wake up. she crossed her arms over her chest and started padding down the hallway.

"Austy?" she called out, hoping it was him who was making all the ruckus. when she got no reply her heart dropped to her stomach. the sounds only got louder as she walked which prompted her to grab a frying pan from the kitchen.

oh god, are we getting robbed?

"Austin? Drew? say...like literally anything or i'll beat your ass with a frying pan." her voice was louder now, causing an echo throughout the apartment.

"hello?" Drew called back, alleviating any anxiety in Farah. with a sigh, she set the frying pan on the breakfast bar and padded down the hall to his room.

"sorry, i thought we were getting robbed- what are you doing?" her eyes instantly landed on the piles of boxes and some suitcases strewn about the room. Drew was in the middle of folding his shirts but stopped when he saw Farah's shoulders deflate.

"uh, i'm moving." Drew replied quietly and set the shirt he was folding into his suitcase. "today."Farah froze.

her eyes began welling up with tears. "what? like, for good?" the boy nodded solemnly, refusing to make eye contact with her. letting out a shaky sigh, Farah dug her fingernails into her arms.

"so..." she started slowly. "you just weren't gonna tell anyone?"

Drew casted his eyes to the ground. he knew better than to lie to Farah.

"i told Austin." though his voice was barely a whisper, she still managed to hear it. she scoffed, tears welling up in her eyes.

"oh, okay" she replied, her voice breaking. "that's fine. i didn't wanna know anyway." she slapped her hands down onto her legs and began backing out of Drew's room. he sighed heavily and began to chase her.

"Fay—"

"Drew? i thought you were packing?" Amanda rounded the corner right as Farah was turning around, causing the two girls to collide. gasping, Amanda shoved Farah backward causing her to hit the floor.

"dude!" Farah shouted incredulously. "what the hell?!"

Amanda was now towering over Farah, her fists clenched into balls. "you need to leave him alone!" she roared. "you've been bothering him day after day and he doesn't like it at all! he has a fiancée now, bitch. you think you would back off."

Farah began sputtering. for once, Amanda had left the girl entirely speechless. the raven haired girl let out a sinister laugh, watching through her eyelashes as Farah pulled herself off of the ground.

"what's your problem with me?" Farah asked with her eyes wide as saucers. "i tried with you, but you made it so hard to be nice! you're so condescending all the time; not to mention how rude you are to Drew-"

"i see the way you look at him!" Amanda snarked over her. "i've seen it from day one. you stare at him like he's the greatest thing to ever walk the Earth. you think you're being casual about it, but you make it so fucking obvious that you want him even though he's taken."

Farah could feel the color draining from her face. her heart started pounding in her chest and her hands began to shake. "what?" Farah couldn't help the chuckle that escaped her lips. "do you hear yourself right now?"

"yeah, loud and clear. you're in love with him, fucking admit it." Amanda crossed her arms over her chest like she was about to win the argument. but, Farah being Farah, laughed in her face.

"you wish. you're thinking of any excuse possible to make me look like the villain."

"i don't need to think of excuses when it's a fact. i've seen it, Austin sees it, hell even Drew sees it."

Farah shook her head dismissively. the wicked grin that spread across her face never wavered, even when Amanda stepped closer to her.

"so, i recommend you get the fuck out while he packs. he's got enough on his plate already, he doesn't need to be dealing with your antics. but, i guess you wouldn't know that cause you're just a dumbass whore."

in a split second, Farah's fist collided with Amanda's chin, sending her to the floor. "whore?!" Farah bellowed as she stood over the girl. Amanda cupped her jaw with her hand, blood slowly flowing from her lips.

"what is wrong with you?!" Amanda screeched as she wiped blood away from her chin. "i could have you arrested!"

"good!" Farah balled her hands into fists and raised them in the air like a child would. "arrest me Moscow!" the brunette let out a loud laugh at her own reference to Lady Gaga, which only enraged Amanda.

"you piece of shit! i should kill you." Amanda swiftly got off of the ground and went to swing at Farah, but was intercepted by Drew's arms. the boy grabbed her and pulled her aside, essentially taking the blow for his friend.

"enough!" he bellowed. "Farah, you need to get the fuck out. now!"

gobsmacked, Farah blinked rapidly and shook her head. "did you not hear what she said to me?" she asked in disbelief.

"you assaulted me in the face!" Amanda huffed while shoving away Drew's arms.

"i didn't assault shit!" Farah yelled while holding back a laugh. "that's just the consequences of your actions, baby. you can't call someone a whore and think you can get away with it."

Amanda was now in Farah's face. the likelihood of the argument escalating to a full on fist fight was high. Drew began to panic internally; he wasn't sure who he should try to calm down first. but by the graces of some god, Austin came running down the hall and put his hand on Farah's shoulder. the girls were still bickering as Drew looked to Austin for help.

"what's happening?!" Austin hollered over the two, causing them to silence immediately. as quickly as they silenced they began talking over each other again.

"she just hit me!"

"she called me a whore! i was not letting that slide."

"ALRIGHT! enough, both of you!" Austin yelled, silencing both girls instantly. he looked between Amanda and Farah before sighing deeply. "c'mon, Fay. let's take a walk."

he reached out and gripped her bicep, pulling her body closer to his. Austin ushered her out of the room. her eyes never left Amanda's red face, and she couldn't tell if it made the situation worse. Austin continued to tug Farah down the hall while muttering curses under his breath.

"you could lose your job, y'know?" Austin mumbled to her in an annoyed tone. "like, she's the kook to our pogue." the boy swung the front door open and practically shoved Farah out into the hall. he quickly locked the door behind him and turned back to the girl, who rolled her eyes in response.

"i don't give a shit anymore! i'm done letting her walk all over us." Farah threw her arms in the air and shook her head incredulously. "i thought you of all people would be on my side."

Austin scoffed. "i am on your side, but Farah, you just sucker-punched Drew's fiancée! don't think that won't have any repercussions."

"sucker-punch is such a strong word," Farah said defensively. "i would prefer if you called it 'the ol' knuckle sandwich'. cause she deserved it."

Austin lifted his eyebrows and looked down at Farah. his serious expression faded quickly, and soon he was laughing at the girl's remark. he wrapped his arm tightly around her shoulder and began leading her down the hall.

"you're in deep shit now, Townes. i don't know if you'll be able to get yourself out of this one."
