"What happened between you and Griffin?" Massie asked Kristen as the girls piled into her Mercedes, her pride and joy in a glorious, dark shade of purple with pale purple entirior. The car was a convertible. The boys were all at football practice, with the exception of Cam who was at his guitar lesson. The girls had a glorious two hours before they lost Kristen to her date with Kemp and Alicia to her dance lessons and Massie went off to do...well, whatever it was Massies did in their free time.
"It was at Dylan's end of the year party in ninth grade," Kristen whispered, glancing around to make sure nobody could hear them, but of course, the parking lot was empty. "He wasn't really emo or whatever he was right now-he was really sweet and funny...and I was upset because Kemp was dating Allie-Rose Singer and he was talking to me...and I should have known something was up. We hadn't talked since seventh grade at Skye's party and now he was just staring at my chest-I was in that navy string bikini, with the blue heart on the boob?" Kristen said to Alicia.
"Oh god," Alicia whispered.
"And he could see I was about to cry so he brought me into the house, away from the big crowds and he kept giving me something to drink, but I thought it was just water-it was vodka...and then he took me up to one of the rooms because Kemp and Allie were making out right in front of me...god it hurt so bad," Kristen whimpered. "But nothing compared with what he did. I didn't want it Mass-I wanted him to go away-I begged and I cried...I screamed for help but he was too strong. Can you imagine that? Too strong for me? The girl who beat up Derrick Harrington? Kristen gave off a bitter laugh. "And then Kemp came storming in-he practically broke the door down, and he just looked at me and he looked so sad, but then he saw my face and he grabbed Griffin...god, I never saw Kemp so mad. I thought he was going to kill him. And Allie was pissed-I mean, her boyfriend was defending me...what do you expect?" Kristen was looking anywhere but at Massie and Alicia in the front seat. "And ever since that Kemp's always been there for me...and Allie's been out to get Kemp back and get back at me. That vengence is probably doubled now. But Griffin turned into what he is now after that. I'm not sure what Kemp did to him after he brought me home, but I know he didn't break Griffin's arm at the party-that happened afterwards," Kristen finished her story.
"Oh Kris!" Massie gasped. "I should have been here! I should have been here for you." Massie whispered. "I hate my dad. God I hate him. Leesh, did anything happen to you while I was gone?" She asked, turning sharply at Alicia. "Like, where that scar's from?" Massie asked, pointing towards the long, pale scar that ran across Alicia's otherwise tan arm. Another scar was on her face, right on her cheek, going all the way to the corner of her mouth.
"That was my own fault," Alicia shook her head. "I was pissed at Josh, I was drunk, I drove off the side of the road because it was icy and I'd been drinking. It was just me being stupid," Alicia shook her head.
"I hate that I wasn't here. I hate that Dylan had the power to do this to my friends. And I hate that the guys were this stupid. I hate that I wasn't here and it's all my dad's fault." Massie glared.
"Hermia told us it was for the best," Alicia said weakly.
"Hermia's full of shit," Massie rolled her eyes. "She gave us good advice once and hasn't ever since." Massie glared out the windshield and shook her head. She should have been here to help her friends. Massie was a good friend, if nothing else, and she prided herself on that. Alicia and Kristen had always been there for her. Now she'd failed them. She hadn't been around when they'd needed her. She knew there was more they weren't telling her. She knew from the marks on Kristen's arms and from the weird look Alicia got whenever alchohol was mentioned. She hated her father for taking her away when she was needed so terribly by her only true, loyal, best friends. But, she was going to make it all up them. "I don't know if I want to get back at Dylan or the guys first..."Massie shook her head as she put on the radio. The new Beyonce song, Run The World, was on,. She smirked.
"Well, if Beyonce insists," She shrugged.
"Whaddya mean?" Alicia asked.
"We're going to get back at the boys, because in case you haven't noticed-we run the world," Massie smirked.
"I don't get it," Kristen frowned.
"We're girls. And girls run the world-but we're the sexy girls with the brains who know how to get our way. So, meet at my place in the spa at seven-I'll have something delivered and we'll have a sleep over while we discuss strategies," Massie smiled as she changed her course, heading towards Kristen's house. "And don't worry-I've got it all figured out already. In fact, if we play our cards right, we can handle everyone we need to in one swift movement," Massie smiled, pulling into Kristen's driveway. "Have fun with Kemp-and whatever you do, do not mention what we're planning. Guys are bigger gossips than girls are," Massie smiled reassuringly as she skid out of the driveway and sped towards Alicia's. She had a lot of work to do to have everything ready by the time her friends got home. "And you just better keep your mouth shut little miss reporter," Massie teased as she pulled into Alicia's driveway. Alicia smiled and shook her head as she got out of the car, barely getting her balance before Massie was gone.
