H: you can still fix this
A: how?
H: well stop seeing Mason and tell Justin that you like him, it's very simple

A: fine, I guess
M: and did you and Justin work it out?
A*looks down* no
J*comes outside and sees Alex with Mason*
J*starts to look at them*
*Mason and Alex didn't saw Justin*
A: I think we should stop seeing each other
M: why?
A: well I was doing all this to get closer to Justin but now because of what I did I lost him
M: but we can make him more jealous and then he will become crazy
A: no Mason I don't want to do this anymore, I'm done
J*still watching them*
M*comes closer to Alex* come on Alex I know you want to stay with me
A: what are you talking about?
M: look, I know I was acting that I like you and everything but the truth is that I really started to like you
A*shocked* what? Are you serious?
M: yeah very
A: I'm telling you I was doing all this to make Justin jealous and you're telling me that you like me?
M*takes Alex's hands* I'm sorry but I can't control my feelings
A*takes off her hands from his* what are you doing?
M: come on Alex I know you want to be with me*tries to kiss her*
A*didn't let him* Mason stop
M: just forget about Justin and be with me, he doesn't want you
A*a little pissed* shut up
J*confused about what he's seeing, thinking: what's going on between them?*
M*tries to takes Alex's shirt off*
A*scared* Mason stop, what are you doing? Please stop
M*starts kissing her neck*
A*tries to push him back but didn't work* Mason please, leave me alone
J*sees what Mason was trying to do with Alex while she was pushing him away*
J*runs over them, angry*
J*grabs Mason by hi shirt and pulls him away from Alex* LEAVE HER ALONE YOU JERK
M*smiles* oh Justin my friend, what are you doing here?
J*mad* GO AWAY NOW
A*watching them, scared and worried*
M: wow wow slow down, I'm just having some fun with Alex, what's your problem?
J*punches Mason really hard on his face* YOU JACKASS
M*holding his bleeding nose* why did you do that? You're crazy?
J: NO I'M NOT CRAZY BUT YOU ARE, JUST GO AWAY AND DON'T TRY TO MESS WITH HER AGAIN
M: it's not your business what I want to do and besides if you're so jealous you shouldn't be with Juliet
J: I AM NOT WITH LUCY OK
M*pissed* yeah right and just so you know this "relationship" between me and Alex was…
A*knows what he was saying, cuts him* I… I think you should leave
M*looks at her* fine I'm leaving, but this is the last time that you will ever see me*leaves*
J*shouted at Mason* Great*turns to Alex, looks at her in an angry look then walk away*
A: no Justin wait
J*turns to her, angry* what? What do you want?
A*says softly* I'm sorry
J*really mad started to yell at Alex* I told you that Mason was a bad guy and you will get hurt one day, but you didn't listen, you did what you wanted, and I warned you not one time but a couple of times and you didn't even listen to me
A*looks down with tears in her eyes*
J: when I asked you to chose between me and Mason you chose Mason and I told you that he's not good, I know him better than you, but no you wanted to prove to me that I was wrong but you know I wasn't, you preferred Mason the guy that you didn't even know instead of your friend, I don't know what's gone into you, you were so smart and intelligent but when Mason started to see you, you changed you weren't the same anymore, you…
A*gets a little annoyed, looks at Justin and cuts him and started to shout* and why do you think I was doing all of this? Why do you think I was seeing Mason? This was all because of you
J*confused* me?
A*crying*yes you, everything was going on so well until the time that Juliet came here, you two were always together that's why I pretended to be with Mason, I wanted to make you jealous
J*doesn't know what to say* wha…
A: I was so jealous to see you with Juilet and I got really hurt when I saw you kissing each other, I felt my heart broken, I wanted to let you feel what I felt that's why I pretended to be with Mason, I don't even like him and I know he's a bad guy but I took that chance just because of you
J: I… I didn't know… why you didn't told me that before?
A: how am I suppose to tell you that? You were with Juliet all the time
A: Alex I am not with Juliet, why don't y…
A*cuts him* I have to go*runs away crying*
J*sighs, watches her leaving*
A*went to her room and closes the door behind her*
A*lays on her bed and buried her face into the pillow*
*at night, 2 am*
A*couldn't sleep*
A*decides to go outside and work on that chicken coop*
A*gets up and walks outside and started to paint*
