Third pov

" oh no we're too late" Cyrus said as he and Buffy ran into the party seeing the bucket of "blood" drop down. To their surprise and relief it didn't fall on Andi, it fell on Gus. As the crowed started laughing, Buffy and Cyrus took this time to run to Andi, who laid on the floor in tears. They both helped Andi up. While Cyrus was helping Andi run, Buffy was pushing people out of their way. They managed to run past the crowd and out the house.

" Hurry get in the car" Cece shouted from the drivers window in her mini van. As soon as the three friends were safely in the car, Andi reached out to give her friends a hug.

" I'm sorry I l-left you g-guys. It w-wa wrong-" Andi said cying unable to property speak.

" it's ok" Buffy interrupted as she held onto Andi who was crying onto her shoulder.

" those g-girls are evil. There s-so mean," Andi cried out unable to stop. The two friends held onto Andi as she cooled down.

Meanwhile Bex and Pops were waiting in the living for the others to come. They had made Andi's favorite food and had her favorite movie all set for when they came. They all agreed to set aside their differences and focus on heping Andi.

Moments later the front door opened revealing Andi stumbling in with Cyrus and Buffy right behind.

" ugh these stupid shoes," Andi yelled taking off her high heels and throwing across the floor. Then running to her old room leaving Bex and Pops in shocked

" we got this," both Cyrus and Buffy said at the same time. They enter Andi's room seeing Andi hyperventilating. She was pacing back and forth crying trying to catch her breath.

" Andi, what's wrong? Cyrus what do we do?" Buffy shouted turning to Cyrus.

" don't look at me I don't know," Cyrus panicked.

" I I I ca-can't breathe" Andi said unable to stop pacing back and forth. She then walk to the bathroom and shouted for Buffy.

" what wrong?" Buffy asked.

" I can't get this stupid d-dress off" Andi breathed out. Buffy did as told but the dress was really stuck on Andi.

"I can't how did you even get on" Buffy asked still trying to get it off.

" Those girls forced it onto me and it's so tight and painful, " Andi cried out. Buffy managed to take off Andi's dress.

" What the heck is that?" Buffy asked pointing to the corset on her.

" a medieval torture device that causes great pain to make you skinner by crushing your organs together. Which theses girls again forced onto me. Can you please take it off," Andi said gesturing to her corset. Andi closes her eyes trying to shut away the pain.

"Oh Andi, I'm so sorry. Your whole stomach and back is all red, does it hurt?" Buffy asked. Andi nodded crying out in pain. Buffy told Cyrus to get an ice pack from downstairs while Andi changed into some loose comfortable clothes.

" I got it but we have like maybe 10 second before your family barges in. They were freaking out about why I went through there medicine cabinet and took an ice pack," Cyrus explained handing Andi the ice pack and pain meds. Then the door burst open with Cece running to Andi giving her a hug with Pops and Bex right behind.

" what happened? What's with the ice pack and the medicine?Are you hurt..." Cece rambled on.

" Ok, let's give Andi some space and let her explain," Pops said placing his hand oh his wife's shoulder trying to calm her down.

Everyone ( Andi, Buffy, Cyrus, Cece, pops, and Bex) sat down in a circle in Andi's room.

" Andi why weren't you at school," Cece asked

" Beverly and her group took me to the mall to get ready for the party. They said they wanted to make me look pretty so I can meet new people at the party and stuff but that's not what it felt like. They took me to this one store, a make up store and they, they " Andi stopped herself as she began to tear up again.

" it's ok you can tell us" Buffy said

" they paid the worker to make me look presentable like I was too ugly to look at and then lady she s-she pushed me on to a chair and trapped me while she put all sorts of make up on me. It was so awful, I tried to close my eyes to make it go away but it didn't work. I still felt it," Andi said stopping to wipe her tears, while Cyrus was calming down Buffy who was threatening to kill those girls.

"Then afterwards, they dragged me into a dressing room and forced onto me a tight corset and dress whiling calling me fat. It was so uncomfortably painful to wear and they made me wear high heals which I couldn't even walk in. They put me through all of that just so they could prank me with that fake blood," Andi said finishing the story.

" Andi how did everything go so wrong so fast?" Cece asked.

" I'm not sure, I guess it started when I was trying to get someone's attention. I didn't think it would end up like this. I just thought about how Buffy changed her hair and everyone loved it and I thought, if I changed that people will notice me too."

" Andi, I didn't change my self on purpose, you know that. I did it because the principle told me to but after that day I haven't changed one bit about myself because it didn't feel right" Buffy said

" Buffy's right Andi, you should never change who you are for anyone. And we're sorry we weren't there for you when you needed help" Cyrus added.

" I didn't make it easy for you guys either, I was the one acting childish by ditching you guys for Beverley and her friends. Those girls aren't my friends, you guys are" Andi said.

" so does this means we're friends again because I can't handle another second not being together," Cyrus asked. The two girls laughed as they gathered for a hug.

" Is that why you wanted to get new clothes and wear make and wear hair extensions?" Bex asked. Andi nodded her head.

" this is all my fault. If I would have never have boughten you those things we wouldn't have gotten into that fight and left this house. Now we live in an small apartment that I can't even afford. I put you through all of this," Bex said feeling guilty.

" I never wanted you guys to move out, I know what I said was wrong . And I'm ..." Cece said pausing.

" I think what your mother is trying to say is that she's sorry and that she loves you" Pops added.

" Yeah what he said," Cece said.

" wow, that's the closest thing to an apology that I ever her you say" Bex said amazed.

" Well it's been hard not having you guys around, I missed you both. And if you forgive me, your always welcome to move back in" Cece said.

" of course I forgive you Cece, " Andi said giving her grandma and grandpa a hug.

" Fine I forgive you too" Bex said joining in on the hug. Then Buffy and Cyrus joined in as well.

" you know what, this is all I need, my friends and family. I don't need to change who I am for anyone," Andi said

" I'll let you do the honor" Bex said taking out a makeup remover wipe from her bag and handing it to Andi.

" I don't need to hide my face with make up" Andi said removing all of her make up.

" And I don't need to wear hair extensions, " Andi said as for the first time she took them off revealing her natural short hair.

" this is who I am" Andi said confidently.

" yay Andi is back" Cyrus cheered.

" let's celebrate, Bex and I prepare your favorite food and movies" Pops said as he led everyone down stairs to the dining room. The rest of the night was fill with joy and laughter as the friends and family reunited once and for all.
