Author's note: Hey guys, once again, I told you that the action in this one was going to move quickly, and a lot goes on in this chapter, which also sort of mirrors one the chapters from Prom Problems. Also quick warning, there's a kinda grafic Lexi/Andy scene in this one.

Disclaimer: You know how this works by now right?


Chapter 3: Love, I guess

"I like this one," Deena said, picking up a blue spaghetti strapped dress. "It would look great on you Kitty."

"No," Kitty shook her head, "not blue."

"But you look so good in blue," Lexi said.

"Julie wore blue," Deena nodded and put the dress down. "Am I right?"

"Bingo!" Kitty said, "I'm wearing red, Mom never wore red in her life."

"What is this obsession you have with not being your mother?" Lexi rolled her eyes, which were then drawn to a light pink dress, "not red Kitty, pink. Look at this!" She rushed over and picked up the dress, which was strapless and came out in a slight mermaid hem at the bottom. "With your curls, and coloring!"

"Julie does hate pink," Deena said, "Mom always says that she used to act like it would burn her skin or something." Kitty laughed.

"It's true," she nodded, "It killed her when Theresa asked to paint her room pink when she was six."

"Is Theresa going to Eden next year?" Deena asked, she was almost always curious about Kitty's sister who was the same age as her.

"Not willingly." Kitty said, looking over the dress. "She's dead set against it. I'll try this one on."

"Yes!" Lexi said, handing it over to her, and picking up the blue one for herself, "I'm giving this one a shot. I like it."

Deena waited in excited anticipation for them to come out of the dressing rooms. When they both walked out she jumped up and clapped her hands quickly.

"Oh my God!" She squealed, "You two look so beautiful!" She ran over and gave Kitty a hug. "You so need to buy this one." Kitty looked over herself in the mirror and then looked over at Lexi. The shade of blue was perfect for her red hair.

"I think I will," Kitty nodded, "I think I love it."

"I love mine too," Lexi smiled, looking in the mirror. "Kitty, we have prom dresses!"


Later that night Lexi wandered over to the sophomore dorms. She knocked on Danny's door. His roommate Jim Tyler answered.

"Uh," Jim stuttered seeing her, "hi Lexi. What are you doing here?"

"Is Danny here?" She asked, she heard him scramble up and walk over to the door.

"Hi," he said, she tried not to laugh as he tried to get himself together, "Hey, Lexi, what's up?"

"Hi Danny," she said, smiling at him. "Look, is there someplace we can go to talk?"

"Yeah, um, actually," he elbowed Jim, "Jim was just leaving, right man?"

"Oh," Jim said, "yeah, uh, see you later Lexi."

"OK," she said, sitting down "so you know how the prom is in two weeks?"

"Yeah," Danny nodded, he stayed standing, "yeah, Kitty's kinda not into it and all that."

"Yeah," Lexi nodded, "look, I don't have a date and if you're not busy then, maybe you'd like to come with me?"

"Yes!" He said trying to contain his excitement. Once again she tried not to laugh at him. "I mean, yeah, that, that could be cool."

"Great," Lexi said with a smile, standing up. "I'll talk to you later Danny."

"Yeah," he laughed, "yeah, uh bye."

"Bye," she laughed.


"Oh how fun for Danny!" Julie said over the phone. "But I still don't understand why Lexi doesn't just go with Andy."

"She doesn't want to," Kitty said, she wasn't getting tired of not being able to explain this. "Anyway, she'll have much more fun with Danny, who won't be spending the whole night looking at other girls."

"Well that's true," Julie laughed, "I'm glad you decided to go Kitty. I really am."

"Yeah, well," Kitty said, "It's really important to Julian. I'm not really sure why, but he's kinda obsessed with it."

"Well, Dad and I are coming up to see you all dressed up," Julie laughed, "Probably Luis too."

"Oh," Kitty said, trying to hide how uncomfortable that made her feel. It was never good, when her parents and Julian's got together. "That's great."

"Alright," Julie said, "I have to drive Theresa to dance, and pick up the twins, I'll talk to you later."

"Great," Kitty said, "Bye Mom, love you."

"Love you too!" Julie said, "Bye." She hung up.


The next day after school Lexi sat on Andy's bed. He was in the bathroom, and she was bored. So far all he had done was talk about how ridiculous she was being not going to prom with him. She wanted to scream at him, tell him that he had driven her to this with his stupid no commitment thing. When he did finally come in he sat down next to her. He put his arm around her and kissed her hard. She kissed him back. He pulled her shirt over her head, she undid his pants. They undressed each other, he pushed her down and started kissing her neck and chest, she moaned as he pushed himself into her.

"Is that it?" He said whispering in her ear, "Is that how you like it?"

"Oh God yes," she said, "God, Andy, I love you." She let it out. He didn't stop, which she took as a good sign. "I love you, so, so fucking much." He kept going, pushing into her, digging deeper. She moaned one final time as he finished. He rolled off of her. He was silent for a few minutes, he didn't say anything about how great it was, like he usually did. She closed her eyes and realized what had happened.

"That was just like a in the moment thing," he finally said, "right? Like I was making you cum so you said you loved me?" Lexi sighed, she could lie, and say that it was exactly what he thought, but she didn't want to lie anymore.

"No," she said, "No, Andy, it wasn't."

"Oh," he said quietly. And again they sat in silence for a few minutes. She was trying not to cry. "I didn't, I wouldn't have, I'm sorry." She closed her eyes to stop the tears from coming. "I, Lexi, if I knew, I would have been, I, all those other girls, you just, I'm a prick." He said, she wished that he would make a coherent sentence.

"Andy," she said, gulping down her tears, "stop OK? I'm just going to go back to school." She got out of bed and started gathering her clothes. "Can we not do this again? I, I don't think I can anymore."

"Lexi, wait!" He said, "I, I guess I sort of love you too."

"Fuck you!" She shouted. "No, it doesn't work that way Andy! You decide you sort of love me when I decide I want to stop sleeping with you? I'm done, I deserve better than this. I just, God! What is wrong with you?"

"Lexi," he said, "come on. Don't do this baby!" She rolled her eyes and walked out of the room.


She walked sobbing into the dorm. She threw herself down onto the bed. Of course Kitty wasn't there, she was probably off having a wonderful time with her perfect boyfriend. She just lay there sobbing into her pillow when Julian and Kitty walked into the room giggling. Kitty looked over.

"No!" She said sitting down. "What did that son of a bitch do to you?"

"What son of a bitch?" Julian asked, "Danny? Did Danny make you cry like this?"

"I," Lexi said between sobs, "we were, in the middle and I told him I loved him."

"Oh God," Kitty said, holding her. "What happened?"

"Who are you talking about?" Julian asked, getting frustrated.

"Andy!" They both shouted at him.

"Andy?" He said, suddenly he started putting it together. Andy's questions about Lexi, the backhanded comments from Kitty, the way Lexi always squirmed when Andy was with one of his girls, "Oh, he and you, oh." He got quiet. "I'm going to go."

"Good plan." Kitty nodded. He walked out, he knew what he had to do.


OOoh, drama! Haha, leave reviews please!
