A.N/ Please, please, please review this chapter! I didn't get any reviews last chapter!

Chapter Seven-

Alexis didn't have to stay in the hospital for very long. She somehow recovered very quickly…

So she was out of the hospital by the end of the week.

She was surprised that Jake or Cassie didn't visit her at all. No one visited her. Her mother visited her once. It wasn't pleasant. The whole time she talked about Jared. Alexis learned that she was apparently going to have a step sister.

By Monday of next week, she was back in school.

The day started out like normal. Cassie picked her up with Jeff, yet she was unusually quiet.

Alexis got through the morning, and it was finally lunch.

Alexis walked into the cafeteria, and sat down at the usual table.

"What are you doing here?" Jake asked flatly. (She vaguely noticed that Alex and Amanda were sitting there.)

Amanda smirked, and bit into an apple. Alex looked grave. Cassie looked sad. Jeff's face was expressionless.

"I'm sitting where I always sit, with my friends." She answered, confused.

Amanda's smirked became more pronounced.

"Huh. Interesting. Because they don't seem to think of your as a friend. In fact you should have heard what they were saying two minutes ago." Amanda said.

And no one said anything. She would have thought that Cassie would deny but she didn't.

"Its true. We don't know what we were thinking, being friends with you. You're just a freak. Why don't you go cut yourself like you used to?" Cassie said.

Cassie never said stuff like that. And how did Cassie know about her cutting herself. She'd never told anybody about that.

She vaguely noticed that the cafeteria had gone silent.

Alexis wouldn't show any weakness.

She laughed. It was a cold, hard laugh. "You know, I should have known that the bitch Amanda would do that. Convince you that I wasn't good enough to be your friend. What? Are you gonna call me vermin now too? That's what she called me on her first day." She spat at Cassie and Jake.

"And why did you even call me vermin? Is it because I'm not as rich as you? Is it because I don't live in a mansion and don't always wear expensive designer clothes? Or is it because I don't drive an expensive car like all of you do?"

Cassie and Jake looked hurt. But they said those things to you. And that really hurts having your only friends turn on you. She thought.

Amanda laughed. "Why don't you go sit those emo kids who will probably understand you?" She said.

"You know what? I'd rather sit with them than you. I'd rather sit with anyone than you." Alexis said.

And she walked over, head held high to the table that Amanda had pointed at.

Sitting at the table were three kids. They all had on black clothes, and had black hair. There was one girl, and two boys.

"Do you mind if I sit here?" She asked.

One of the boys shrugged.

He was skinny and tall with dark brown eyes and shaggy black hair. Alexis sat next to him in biology, but had never talked to him. She sometimes saw him staring at her. It kind of creeped her out.

There was also a girl with long, straight black hair, who was talking to a guy with short black hair, and was very muscular.

She was glad that no one was staring anymore.

"Hi. I'm Alexis." She said to the boy.

"I'm Seth." He said, and he smiled a friendly smile at her. Alexis returned the smile.

"I'm Alyssa." The girl said. She also smiled at Alexis. Alexis noticed that she looked very happy, and had bright blue eyes.

"I'm Sean." The other boy said.

Alexis smiled. "Hi."

She had a feeling that she could become good friends with them.

They talked and laughed all through lunch.

They were really nice.

***

Cassie felt horrible. She had just acted so… cold to Alexis. But it was to keep her safe.

Cassie had told Alex about her visions- but not Amanda. She didn't trust Amanda.

She'd also told them they were cousins. Alex didn't seem to care, but Amanda was made at that.

She'd said that she didn't want a vermin lover as her cousin. She'd been so tempted to mention all her other 'vermin lover' cousins, but decided against it.

***

Time passed slowly. Alexis and Alyssa soon became good friends, and she found herself getting close to Seth.

But she also found herself cutting herself more. She'd quit for a while, but now it was coming back. She was also smoking. But no one cared about her. Everyone thought she was a freak.

It was Saturday night, and Alyssa had invited her to a club that she sometimes goes to.

The doorbell rang, and she answered, to see Jake standing there.

"Why are you here?" She asked him.

"I came to apologize." He said.

"Well, I don't wanna hear it. I have new friends, and I'm going out soon." She said coldly.

"Cassie misses you," He said, acting as if he hadn't heard her.

"I could care less about Cassie." Alexis lied smoothly.

Jake shrugged.

"We feel really bad. Were sorry. Can we still be friends."

Alexis shook her head. "Not if your friends with Amanda. Well, I guess you could be, but I don't want to have to sit with her anymore. And anyways, I can't be friends with you after what you said to me. Because, I have feelings. And anyways, my ride is here." She said gesturing to Alyssa's car.

"Hey Alexis! Lets go! And what'd he doing there?" Alyssa asked, glaring at Jake.

"He's leaving. And he's never coming back." Alexis said.

***

Alexis walked into the club. It was amazing. There was a dance floor that changed colours, and there was a D.J who was playing the coolest music.

Alyssa lead her to the bar.

Alyssa flashed two fake id's, soon Alexis was drinking.

And she kept asking for more. It was like alcohol was her escape from the rest of the world.

"Now I see why my mom drinks." she said to Alyssa.

"Its like an escape from the rest of the world, isn't it?" Amanda slurred.

Alexis nodded, and swore.

"What?"

"Oh my god. They followed us here!" she said, and she saw Alex , Jake and Cassie.

"Just ignore them. Who cares? They've never even been here before though. I'm freaked out actually. We've been here like an hour. Lets just leave and go back to my house." Alexis nodded.

***

Alexis woke up with a pounding in her head. She groaned.

She looked around. She was in Alyssa's room. She was asleep on a mattress.

She sighed. She saw Alyssa was just waking up too.

"Ugh. Alexis?" Alyssa asked, sitting up.

"Mhmm?"

"Do you remember anything about last night? Other than drinking?" Alyssa asked her quietly.

Alexis shook her head.

Please don't let me have done anything crazy. She thought desperately.

"well… umm… You went a little crazy at the club… And we were just about to leave when you got up on the table and started to strip." She said.

Oh my god! Alexis though. No!

"But luckily you didn't get any further then taking of your shirt because you still had on your bra and stuff, when your friends Jake and Alex stopped y-" Alyssa was cut off by a doorbell ringing.

Alyssa hurried to the door and Alexis followed her.

"I'm afraid you're going to have to come with us." Two Police men said, when they answered the door.

A.N/ Anyways, if I don't get one review, I'm NOT updating! I want one! And I'd really appreciate it if I could get more!
