Third pov

"312 dollars!" Bex screamed out as she counted all the money she has. This isn't enough. That wasn't even enough to pay half the rent for the small apartment she still owns. Even though her and Andi moved back with Cece, she still has to pay for the apartment until she could find someone to buy it.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Andi asked rushing down to her mom after hearing her scream.

"I still don't have enough money for rent. Not for here or for the apartment we still own," Bex groaned in frustration.

"Isn't there anyone else you know that can loan you money?" Andi asked. Bex froze, there was one person but she swore never to talk to them again.

"Mom?" Andi asked seeing her mom tensed up.

"Uh, oh, don't worry about it. I'll think of something." Bex said. After Andi went back into her room, Bex bit her nails as she contemplated about pressing the call button on her phone. As she stared at the contact info of this person, she was overwhelmed with her memories with them. After a while she finally pressed the button but instantly regretted it.

"Oh no." she said trying to cancel the call but it was too late.

"Hello?" Bex heard come from her phone.

"Sorry, wrong number." Bex said in a different accent.

"Bex is that you?"

"Noooo." Bex replied.

"I know it's you, I can't talk right now but how about we meet at Toni's pizza after my gig?"

Bex didn't know how to response so she just hung up. Oh no, what do I do. Should I mean him? Bex looked at the money laid out on the counter, 312 wasn't enough money to pay for rent, she knew what she had to do. Then She collected all of the money and put it back inside the cookie jar and went to her room to think.

Bex laid on her bed, staring at the ceiling. She couldn't get him out of her mind now that she's heard his voice. And by him she means her ex, Bowie , a.k.a Andi's father. But he doesn't know that he has a daughter. Why? Well, because to Bex, Bowie isn't a reliable guy. You see, when they first dated, they weren't your typical love birds, they were more like your typical troublemakers.

Bex was ashamed to admit the things she did as a teen but she's put that all in the past. She cleaned up her act the day her whole life changed.

It was the day after her and Bowie had spent the night together. Bex wasn't feeling too good so she went to the pharmacy to buy something. When she came back she quickly went to the bathroom.

Bex gasp as she stared the pregnancy test she held in her hands that tested positive. She was pregnant and at such a young age. She knew that this would change her whole life. She knew that she would have to get her act together for this child. She wanted to be a better mother than the mother she had. She wanted to give her child the best future.

Bex held the pregnancy test in her hands and walked out of the bathroom ready to tell Bowie. She didn't even notice that Bowie was gone. She called him only to hear his phone ringing inside his backpack. Bex looked inside the backpack to see tons of drugs. Bex gasp. She would have never had thought that Bowie would be a druggie.

Then she heard the doorbell ring, she thought it was Bowie. She was so angry that instead of telling him about her being pregnant she threw away the pregnancy test and was ready to yell at him for the drugs. But it wasn't Bowie at the door. It was the police.

Later that night, the police had locked up Bex despite her saying she was innocent. Bex was left in that jail cell all night all alone. Until the next morning when her parents came and bailed her out and they were not happy. That's when Bex's life completely changed.

Bex had finally made up her mind, what else did she have to lose? And who knows, she may get the money she needs. Bex got out of her car and made her way to Toni's pizza. Suddenly, Bex was attacked, with memories. She then realised where she was standing. It was the spot where her whole life changed, not in the way she expected. The spot where she first met Bowie.

Bex wiped her tears and fixed herself by looking at her reflection of the restaurant window. Bex entered the restaurant and took a seat. She was a little late but now as late as her guest.

30 minutes had past and still nothing. 60 minutes had past, still nothing . 90 minutes had past and still nothing. When 120 minutes past by, Bex was already a crying mess seeing the restaurant closing up and everyone leaving.

This was so stupid, she thought. Why did I think this would work. Bex left a tip on the table and ignored the sympathetic faces of the waitress who keep asking if she was still waiting for someone despite seeing Bex holding back her tears.

"Excuse me," Bex heard a man behind her say. She could only see he was wearing a big coat and was really dirty. She assumed he was another homeless man asking for money.

"Sorry, I don't have any money" Bex said as she quickly ran from the man. But the man followed.

"Get away!" Bex shouted. Then, the man grabbed Bex by her shoulder and turned her around. Bex pushed him off and reached out to get her phone.

"Bex, stop, it's me, Bowie." The man said as Bex looked up from her phone to see that the homeless looking man was actually who she planned to see tonight. Bowie took off his hood.

"Bowie?" Bex gasped. This wasn't not the Bowie she remember. He had bright bloodshot eyes, dark bags under his eyes. His cheeks were sunken in. He looked so much older and not in a good way. He looks so sick, sick like dying sick.

Bex was so disgusted by what Bowie has became, he really hasn't changed has he? She than reached out her hand to slap him.

"Ouch! What was that for?" Bowie asked.

"That was for you being 2 hours late!" Bex screamed and then slapped him again.

"That's for leaving me 13 years ago!" Bex screamed again this time tears streaming down her face.

"This is for leaving me alone all night in that jail cell!"

"I cared about you and you decided needles where more important than being a father!" Bex cried out, using the last of her energy to punch his chest repeatedly and then fell down.

"Father? I'm a father?" Bowie asked.

"Oh don't pretend to care, even if I had told you before, it's not like it would change anything. You still look like the druggie you've always been" Bex argued. She was too mad to put up with him, this was the last straw for her. She then ran to her car and took off. 'How could I be so stupid?' Bex thought.

"Buffy?" Andi asked seeing Buffy at her house. Buffy looked different, she looked nervous. She was trembling but Andi didn't understand why.

"Buffy, what's wrong?" Andi asked again.

"Can we talk in private, in your room?" Buffy asked. They two girls went to Andi's room and closed the door. Andi was seriously getting freaked out.

Buffy hesitated to tell Andi the truth. The truth about what happened at The Spoon. She didn't feel comfortable talking about it. It made her seem weak.

"Are you just going to stand there? Come on, tell me already, you seem so nervous for some reason." Andi asked.

"Me, nervous? No way. I'm not nervous. Ok, the truth is..." Buffy started but paused. She couldn't do this.

"Marty asked me on a date" Buffy said instead. Why would I say that, that's even worse, Buffy thought. Buffy was than startled by the sound of squealing coming from Andi's mouth.

"Ok, calm down, it's not a big deal."

"Not big deal? Buffy you're going on your first date. This is a big deal. See? I told you there was something going on between you two." Andi squeaked out again.

"Please don't make me go, I don't even know what to do on a date," Buffy added.

"You can't cancel on him," Andi said stunned, that Buffy was even considering to.

"Then come with me" Buffy added.

"No, I'll be a third wheel."

"Bring Gus," Buffy brought up.

"Gus? Why Gus?" Andi asked.

"Hmm, I don't know, maybe because he pushed you out of the way of Beverley's prank. He practically saved your life. It's the least you can do for him."

"Fine, I'll ask but it doesn't mean he'll say yes." Andi said. She was starting to get more nervous around him now.

"If he's willing to take a bucket of blood or whatever the hell was in that bucket for you, than I'm guessing he likes you," Buffy added.

"I think your right." Andi said connecting the dots.

"When am I not." Buffy said.

Then the front door open revealing Bex holding a frying pan.

"Girls, what happened? What's with the screaming?" Bex said holding the frying pan up ready to attack.

"Mom, there's no intruder, we're fine and anyways your late. I screamed like 5 minutes ago," Andi said.

"Hey, don't judge me, I sleep like a log that's in a coma. Anyways, now I'm fully awake from my nap, thanks a lot. I'll be at the fridge if you need me" Bex said as she yawned and walked off. Andi and Buffy laughed and then continued on their conversation.

"How about this, we can practice for our date. We can get advice from Cyrus, he's been on a date" Andi thought.

"Don't you remember what happened when Cyrus went on a date? Do I have to show you the video Amber posted of him throwing up in his shoe?" Buffy pointed out.

"Oh yeah, ok so, not that idea. Why don't we have a practice date. You could pretend to be Marty and help me practice and I'll pretend to be Gus and help you practice."

"That plan sounds horrible." Buffy pointed out.

"Come on, it's the best plan we have. Are you in?" Andi asked

"Ok, fine, but don't make a big deal out of it."

"This is going to be so much fun, oh we should practice at The Spoon." Andi squealed.

"NO! Not The Spoon" Buffy yelled. She immediately covered her mouth and apologize as she saw she was scaring Andi.

"Why? What's wrong?" Andi asked.

"It's nothing. Let's just find a different place." Buffy said. She couldn't go back to The Spoon. Not after what happened. She couldn't handle being in that restaurant. Even though Marty's mom arrest the bad man, Buffy still felt vulnerable. She didn't feel safe anymore.

"Ok, fine, and I guess I could lay off the milkshakes. We'll find another place to eat at." Andi compromised and Buffy agreed to it.

Then the sound of screaming caught both their attentions. The two girls rushed down stairs to see Bex on the couch.

"Mom what's wrong?" Andi asked her mom who was staring at her phone with wide eyes.

"Ugh nothing just don't go on YouTube and look at what's trending. Just don't" Bex said still laying on the couch with a shocked face.

Andi and Buffy than went back to her room. Then Andi took out her laptop.

"You're looking at YouTube, aren't you?" Buffy asked

"Of course I am," Andi said. Buffy sat next to her as they looked through YouTube.

" OH MY GOD!" they both shouted as they saw what was number one on trending. It was none other than the video that took place at the baseball game. The baseball game that Cyrus and Jonah both went to, where they did something that blew up online. The video of them on the kiss cam. The video that will change everything for those two teens.

"Is that Cyrus?" Buffy asked.

"With Jonah." Andi added.

"Oh my god it is" Andi said shocked. Buffy on the other hand wasn't at all shocked . She knew that jyrus was going to happen eventually. She just didn't know how Andi would react.

"Andi, are you ok?" Buffy asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I mean look at how happy Cyrus looks in the video. I think it's the happiest we've seen him since his parents divorced."

"So your not mad at him?"

"Of course not, I've been friends with him since the first day of middle school, I'm not going to throw away our friendship over this." Andi said. Yeah she was a little hurt she wasn't the one to be with Jonah, but if she was being honest. She thinks her feeling for him have faded away over time.

"I think you should tell Cyrus that. I'm sure he's been hiding from you all day because of this," Buffy added. Even she hasn't seen Cyrus since before the game. She wondered how he was doing.

"Ok, let's go tell him." Andi said agreeing to the plan.

Bex dropped the two girls off at Cyrus' house to let them talk.

Buffy knocked on the door and waited next to Andi. Nothing had happened. They knocked again and again until Mrs. Goodman finally opened the door.

" Hello Mrs. Goodman, is Cyrus here?" Andi asked.

"No, I just came home. He's not with you guys?" asked.

"No."

"Then where could my son be? He's not missing is he?" Mrs. Goodman asked with tears.

"Uhh, you know what? Maybe he went to my house and I wasn't there. Just don't worry Mrs. Goodman we'll find your son." Buffy said trying to calm her down.

Mrs. Goodman closed the door as the two ladies left. She couldn't stop crying. Her son was gone and she didn't even realize. She walked past the living room to see her husband drunk and past out on the couch. Then she went to Cyrus's room to see the door knocked down. She gasped and cried out even more seeing blood stains on the floor.

"No, no, no." Mrs. Goodman cried out. She could only imagine what happened to her son. She knew deep down in her heart that her new husband did this. She wanted to leave him but she couldn't. She was trapped and now she's finally realized that now she's been putting her son in danger.
