Alex practically ran home, it was times like this that she wished she hadn't been too lazy to get her licence. Her parents cars weren't in the driveway so she knew that this wasn't going to end very well. Alex came to a halt when she saw Miley sitting on the door step, it was really creepy when she just sat there when nobody was home.
"I thought you were out of town this weekend?" Alex asked, but soon regretted starting the conversation that way. Miley laughed as she stood up. It was not a pleasant laugh, it was almost evil.
"Well I'm not. You were with HER, weren't you?" Miley accused, venon dripping off every word. Alex stayed quiet knowing the consequences if she lied.
"Get in the house." Miley demanded as she waited for Alex to walk past her before following her. Alex contemplated running and locking the door before Miley could get it. She really hated that girl. She wasn't going to stand for it anymore. Once they were both Alex's house, a wave of anger washed over her.
"I'm not going to do this anymore Miley, I'm not going to let you control me, and I'm sure as hell not going to let you lay a hand on me anymore. We are over. Now get out of my house!" Alex yelled, Mitchie had finally given Alex the courage to stand up to Miley. Miley looked at Alex bewildered by her sudden outburst.
"What did you just say to me?" Miley yelled, threateningly taking a step closer to Alex.
"Y-you heard me!" Alex said through gritted teeth, her courage faultering for a second.
"Has little Alex finally grew a spine?" Miley laughed as she continued to get closer to Alex. Alex stayed silent, but glared at Miley. Miley paced for a few moments, brainstorming ways of regaining control over Alex. Before Alex could react, Miley had grabbed her throat and slammed her against the wall. Miley glided her lips along Alex's jawline, up to her ear. Alex closed her eyes, hoping it will be over soon.
"Listen to me carefully, because I'm only going to say this once. If you see her, or talk to her...and I find out, which I will...I will tie you to a chair and make you watch while I kill her. If you don't believe me, I dare you to try." Miley whispered through gritted teeth into Alex's ear. She took Alex's earlobe into her mouth, sucking on it before pulling away to look into Alex's eyes, her forehead resting on Alex's.
"Do we have an understanding baby?" Miley asked with sweetness so sickening.
Tears were pouring down Alex's face, and Alex nodded vigorously.
"Good." Miley said as she kissed Alex's lips roughly before letting Alex go and leaving without another word. Alex slid down the wall as she cried her heart out. She couldn't be away from Mitchie, but she couldn't live with herself if something ever happened to her. She picked herself up and managed to get up to her room before flopping down on the bed, and crying her heart out. She was glad her parents wouldn't be home for a few hours. Alex heard her phone buzzing, and saw that it was Mitchie. Alex sent her to voicemail and cried even more. She didn't know how she was going to deal with this. Alex soon fell asleep and didn't wake up until the next morning with 27 missed calls from Mitchie and 48 messages.
Alex, thanks for the good bye babe!
Hello? Are you alive?
Are you mad at me?
If this is about last night, I'm really sorry!
Alex, please talk to me.
I don't want to loose you!
You promised...
Alex couldn't read anymore, her heart broke a little more with each one. She fought with herself for what felt like hours. How could she do this to Mitchie? She promised Mitchie that she would never hurt her. If she didn't break her promise, Mitchie would get hurt. Alex had enough of her head been torn apart and decided to get up and shower, but even the sound of the water running loudly didn't drown out her thoughts. Atleast she had today before she had to face Mitchie at school. Before Alex could get into another fight with herself, she heard her mum come through the door. She bounced down the stairs and into her mother's arms and just hugged her, never wanting to let go.
"Alex honey, not that I'm not enjoying the show of love, but what's wrong?" Theresa asked as she ran her finger's though Alex's hair.
"Nothing, I just needed a hug." Alex lied, she wanted to tell her mum...she did...but what would she say? Would her mum believe her? Alex fought the tears back inside, refusing to cry infront of her mum. The less questions, the better. She felt her phone vibrate and saw that it was a message from Miley.
Hey baby, we are going to the movies tonight. K? Pick you up at 7 Xxx
Alex read the message and suddenly wanted to vomit. She knew that Mitchie was going to be there tonight, and she guessed so did Miley. Why else would she want to take Alex to the movies? Usually Miley kept her torture as a private show, just for Alex.
Seven rolled around much to fast for Alex's liking, she contemplated telling Miley that she sick...it was the truth. Alex knew Miley wouldn't care, she'd drag her by her hair if she'd have to. She heard the sound of Miley's horn and flinched before slowly making her way down to her car. The drive there was silent, Miley was obviously enjoying this as that smile never left her face. They arrived and Alex was thankful that she didn't see any of the Torres's cars, maybe they changed their minds. As they lined up for drinks and popcorn, Alex heard her name been yelled out. The beautiful voice belonged to Mitchie. Alex tried not to cry as she saw Mitchie approach. Before she could say anything, she felt Miley's nails dig into her arm. Sending her a warning.
"Alex! What's going on? I've tried calling and messaging and you never call back." Mitchie asked quietly so Miley couldn't hear. Alex could hear the pain in her bestfriend's voice. Alex knew what Miley wanted her to say, and the feeling of Miley's nails digging into her arm that was behind her back was a not so gentle reminder.
"I can't be your friend anymore Mitchie." Alex said quietly, she couldn't help the tears that were freely falling from her eyes now.
"What are you talking about?" Mitchie asked in disbelief. Alex's heart broke as she saw her bestfriend's heart shatter through her eyes. Mitchie wasn't just Alex's bestfriend, Alex loved Mitchie. Alex was in-love with Mitchie and now she was the reason Mitchie was hurting.
"Is that what she said?" Mitchie said, raising her voice as she pushed Miley. Miley just merely smiled that evil smirk and said nothing. Alex stayed quiet.
"Answer me Alex." Mitchie said angrily. She couldn't believe what was happening right now. Alex still stayed quiet and stared at her feet.
"You promised me Alex." Mitchie said as she couldn't contain her tears anymore. Alex finally looked up at Mitchie and mouthed 'I'm sorry' afraid that her voice wouldn't hold.
"Well what good does that do me now? I thought you were different." Mitchie said as she threw up her arms in defeat and walked away. Alex looked at Miley who was practically giggling, as if the scene that just played out before her was some sort of joke.
"Are you happy now?" Alex spat out before walking away from Miley, suddenly not in the mood for a movie. Alex stopped when she heard Miley's voice.
"Don't you get it Alex Russo? I own you." Miley yelled over the sound of the crowd. Alex took a deep breath and kept walking.
