Liz
"Shit! What are you guys doing?" I screeched.
"The better question is what are you and Avan doing?" Vic asked, raising her eyebrows.
I rolled my eyes. "Nothing. At. All. I wouldn't touch that pig," I scoffed, brushing past them.
"So yesterday I'm gay and today I'm a pig?" Avan asked behind me.
"Yup."
"God, Liz. I was just trying to have some fun with you," Avan said.
"No. Just, don't. I'm sick of you Avan. I hate you." I whirled around, and pointed my finger to his face. I walked and gathered my belongings. I called Frankie, Ariana's brother. "Hey, can you pick me and Ari up at Vic's. We have no car." I muttered. Frankie replied with a quick sure and I woke up Ari.
"We're leaving." I said.
"Why?" Ariana asked groggily, rubbing her eyes.
"Because Avan's a dick and I can't stand being in the same room with him." I said loud enough so Avan could hear.
"You're a slut!" Avan called. I rolled my eyes and begged Ariana, who nodded.
I helped her grab her heels and dress from last night, and I hugged Vic and told her thanks for having us and picking us up last night. I waved goodbye to Leon and Daniela was still asleep
"How come you and Avan seemed on good terms last night?" Vic asked, following me and Ari out the door.
"Acting, sweetheart," I muttered, putting on a pair of sunglasses.
"I don't get it though." Vic said. I turned around and faced her.
"We just don't mix." I stated.
"But you're a great girl, Avan's a great guy. You have such good chemistry on-screen," Vic sighed.
"It doesn't work. I didn't have a problem with him from the start, but he has an issue with me that is beyond fixing. He switched my mom and this guy I have sex with contact names so that I called my mom this morning asking for sex. That's taking it too far. I just can't Vic. I really wanted to try, for Zoey and you because I know you love us both the same but I just can't." I said. Vic nodded and smiled.
"I'll talk to him, and maybe it's best if you just stay away from him as much as possible. I'm sure Zoey will understand too," Vic said hopefully. I nodded and gave her a hug before hopping in Frankie's car with Ariana.
"Hey! Are we still on for the spa today?" I shouted as she started to walk in.
Vic shrugged. "I got my nails done the other day, and I don't know how Zoey is right now. Probably not. You and Ari should go though!"
I nodded and Frankie drove off. I was in the backseat and Ariana was in the front with Frankie.
"Tell me everything," Frankie said, looking at me in the mirror.
I rolled my eyes. Frankie was literally my second brother. "It's nothing."
"Girl, spill it."
"I just can't stand Avan. He's got this image of me that I'm a whore and he's never going to like me."
"Are you a whore?"
"Is that a rhetorical question?" I asked.
"It wasn't supposed to be, but you just made it one," Frankie smiled.
"Very funny."
"But seriously. You're awesome Liz; don't let a guy rain on your parade."
"Hold on," Ari muttered. "I'm as much as a whore as you are, but Avan treats me fine. In fact, I'm more of a whore than you are."
"That's true…God! Frankie why are guys so difficult to understand?" I asked, tossing my head back.
"Maybe he likes you." Frankie wiggled his eyebrows.
"He has a funny way of showing it."
Avan
Maybe I was a little harsh, but Liz had it coming to her.
"Seriously?" Vic asked, walking back in the room after Liz and Ari left.
"How is this my fault?" I asked innocently.
"You barged in on her while she was in the bathroom!" Vic yelled.
"She was being a slut?"
Vic calmed herself down and walked over to me. She rose up on her tip toes so we were standing eye to eye.
"One. What if she was taking a shit? You don't barge into the bathroom. Two. Why do you care what she does with her life? I admit, it's not the classiest way to go, but it's not like you're her boyfriend. Let her be." Vic said calmly. "Because she's pissed, and doesn't plan on talking to you for a while."
I felt a pang in my chest. Why did that hurt me? Heartburn?
"I like her Vic. She's great. I just hate people taking advantage of her looks when she has a good personality. It feels wrong. I'm trying to be her friend by doing this! It's just not coming out right!" I tried explaining.
"Huh?"
"I care about Liz." I said plainly. Vic nodded. "I like Liz. Not like, like. But she's my friend. Or at least I want her to be." Vic nodded again. "I feel like I should protect my friends."
"So why would you-"
"Shhh. I don't like it when other guys take advantage of the great person she is. I don't like it when she feels like she needs that attention when her real friends can give her all the love she needs. I don't like it. And she doesn't listen to me, so the only way to get the point across to her is to scream at her to stop, which makes us argue and yeah." I said.
Vic looked at the floor and processed what I said.
"I think that was sweet," she finally said. I rolled my eyes, and looked behind Vic to find Daniela and Leon coming in with 4 bowls of cereal.
"Breakfast anyone?" Leon asked.
I nodded. "I should probably call Zoey first, see how she's doing." I grabbed my phone and went into Vic's room.
"Avan!" Zoey cried when she picked up the phone.
"What's wrong baby? Is she okay?" I asked.
"I-I don't know. They put her into surgery a few hours after I left and I fell asleep in the hospital but they're not telling us," Zoey sniffled.
"Do you want me to come?" I asked.
"Can you?" She squeaked.
"Of course. What hospital?"
"St. Mary's. We're just sitting out in the front."
"I'll be there in ten. I love you," I whispered.
"I love you too."
I hung up the phone and went out into the living room.
"Dude what's wrong?" Leon asked. I felt tears coming on myself.
"Zoey's not doing so well. I'm gonna go to the hospital." I said, grabbing my keys.
"Tell her I'm sorry. Ask her if we can stop by later to bring her clothes or food or anything!" Vic said.
I nodded. "Will do. Thanks for having us Vic."
I walked out to my car and started driving about 5 minutes when the car started slowing down. I filled the gas tank up yesterday and it was still full. I pulled over and got out. I lifted the hood, and smoke spilled everywhere. I shut it and sighed. This was a disadvantage to having a car from the 50's.
I called Zoey, no answer. I sent her a text saying my car broke down and tried calling Vic. No answer. Frustrated, I punched in Leon's number, and then Daniela's.
"Hey!" Daniela answered.
"Hey are you still at Vic's?" I asked.
"No, but whatcha need?"
"My car broke down. Can you give me a lift to the hospital?" I asked.
"I don't have a car right now. Leon just dropped me at my house and my mom's in town so she just took mine to the grocery store." She said.
"Oh."
"Have you called Leon, Vic, or Zoey?"
"No one picked up."
"What about Josh or whoever?"
"They're all out of town."
"Liz or Ari?"
"I haven't called them yet…"
"Just grow up and do it." Daniela hung up the phone.
I sighed and dialed Ari's number.
"Yellow?" She answered.
"Hey Ari, are you home?" I asked.
"Not yet. We're at Target getting food, why?"
"My car broke down and Zoey wants me to visit her. Can you give me a lift?" I asked.
"One sec." Ari said. I heard her ask something to someone, and there was a yeah! And a No! In the car.
"Sure thing! We'll be there ASAP! Where are you?"
"I'm by the Wendy's by our studio."
"Be there in five!"
I hopped back in the car and put on the emergency lights. A few minutes later Frankie's red convertible pulled up. Him and Ari were in the front and an unhappy Liz was in the back. I sighed and hopped in the back of the tight convertible. Liz turned her head so she was looking away from me.
"Where to?" Frankie asked.
"St. Mary's."
Liz's head snapped up. "How's Zoey's aunt?"
"I don't know. They're not telling them anything." I sighed.
"We should stop by Zoey's place and get her clothes and food or something," Ari squeaked.
"Uh yeah. She lives in the neighborhood right by St. Mary's." I directed. We navigated our way onto her street and Ari jumped up.
"You guys wait here I'll get stuff. She said she leaves the keys under her matt," Ari said.
I pretended to be playing on my phone and listened to Liz's breathes. I peeked out from the corner of my eye and she was staring at me.
"Hey Liz. Ariana and I are having a few friends from Florida that are in town over tomorrow night, and there's like 3 girls and 6 guys not counting me and Ari so to balance it out do you wanna come?" Frankie asked Liz. Liz looked at him.
"Are they anything like Ari's other friends I met?" Liz asked.
"Uh…Nah."
"Are the guy's assholes?"
"Define asshole." Frankie said.
"Jerks, pigs, Avan." Liz muttered the last one quietly and gave me a smirk when I glared at her.
"They're not jerks…but they're like…I don't know. I'm not sure what the girl lingo is for it." Frankie muttered, running a hand through his hair.
"I'll ask Ari then."
"Wait I think I got it. Two of them are really quiet, nice guys. 2 of them are like complete jocks. Sports everything. And the last two are your typical party guys, drink a lot, sex it up."
"Sounds like the type Liz is in to," I muttered.
"Shut up." She snapped.
"Make me."
"Guys chill," Frankie said.
"No! That comment wasn't necessary!"
"Your comment about me being an asshole wasn't necessary!"
"Mines the truth!"
"Oh your right! You never drink or have sex. You haven't done it in like a whole 12 hours," I said sarcastically.
"Why does that bother you so much? You're like my dad." Liz shrieked and slapped my arm. I grabbed her wrists and pulled her towards me.
"Avan ow!" She squealed.
"Yo Avan, lay off. You're stronger than her," Frankie said. I released my grasp on her slightly and looked at her. She stared up at me with fear and hate.
Which is why I have no idea how 3 seconds later our lips were on each other's and her hands were twisted in my hair.
