Disclaimer: Kate Brian owns Private…Not me.
So I just looked at the cast for the private web show and it looks pretty good. The guy playing Josh is so hot. Anyway it is back to Reeds POV.
I fell to my knees and could hardly breathe. One look at 'Briana Leigh' and I could tell it was Ariana. The disguise didn't work. It also could be my senses but still.
Noelle looked worried from behind Ariana. Kiran and Taylor looked freaked too. I must've screamed because Constance came running in.
"Reed what's up? Who is that?" Constance said.
"She is my friend from camp Briana Leigh Covington. Bree for short." I said.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Constance." Constance said.
"Nice to meet you too, Reed and I haven't seen each other in a while." Ariana said.
Not long enough I said to myself. I wanted to never see that evil glare again. I never wanted to look into her icy blue eyes. This just sucked.
"Well I am meeting Kiki out. Want to come with?" Constance asked.
"No we can't. Sorry but we will talk later." Ariana said.
"Ok, nice to meet you Bree." Constance said.
Constance skipped out of the room and went downstairs. We heard her close the doors before we started talking.
"So Bree, how have you been?" I said angrily.
"Well thanks to you terrible. I had to rot in that place and I was treated like a five year old. So thank you for ruining my life." She said with venom.
"Well you killed someone. It isn't my fault." I shouted.
"You stole Thomas from me!" She screamed.
"Well he was over you so get over it. He was with me. You broke my heart. You and your sick sister even tried ruining it with Josh so thank you for hurting him too. You are crazy and obsessed. Just get over yourself!" I screamed louder.
"I will…I will…" Ariana was saying before Noelle tackled her.
"You aren't in a position to be threatening us." She said coldly.
"Tell her to shut up." Ariana said in a demanding way.
"No. You deserve this. She is being nice." Noelle said.
"I loved Thomas and he loved me. You ruined that for me." Ariana said.
"Then why did he choose me?" I said.
"He didn't know what he wanted. He needed more than a loser like you. You shouldn't even be in Billings. I am the reason you are here." She said.
"She is more a Billings girl than you will ever be." Noelle said.
"So you would choose her side. After everything I've done for you Noelle. You would betray me like that?" Ariana asked.
"Keep in mind you betrayed me." Noelle said.
"Noelle we were best friends." Ariana said.
"Shut up. I am sick of this. You went crazy and got all of us in trouble, all because you were in love with a guy that didn't love you. Ariana just stop trying to be innocent. You know you are a rotten bitch and you are lucky we haven't had you reported." Taylor screamed. I was surprised Taylor never had out bursts.
"Shut up Taylor. This doesn't concern you." Ariana said snidely.
"Well since you used to be one of my closest friends it does concern me." Taylor said.
"Please I was never your friend." Ariana said. I saw Taylor's face drop. Even though she didn't like Ariana now it had to hurt knowing Ariana used her.
"Well guess what, I was so shut it or I swear I will ruin your life as Briana Leigh Covington." Noelle said. Ariana stared at her and didn't want to back down. After a few moments she did and the uncomfortable feeling in the room went away.
"Listen we need to get over our differences for a while. We all have to be willing. Are you guys in?" Ariana asked. We all responded with 'fine' except for Astrid. I had forgotten she was there.
"What's your problem?" Ariana asked.
"Well you need to lower the rudeness level like by ten if you want anyone in this houses respect so I suggest you make over your attitude." Astrid said.
"Fine, I'll behave." Ariana said.
"Then I will be in." Astrid said.
"So let's call Suzel." I said.
"Ok," Noelle said grabbing her phone. She dialed the number and put in on speaker phone.
"Hello," Suzel said after four rings.
"Hey Suzel, its Noelle. Reed, Kiran, Taylor, Astrid, and someone else is here. We need to meet with you a.s.a.p." Noelle said.
"Oh hi Noelle. Reed. Kiran. Taylor. Astrid. Whoever else. How are you all?" She asked.
"Not so good. We have a Billings problem. We need major help. What if we said we have someone who isn't supposed to be alive or out of jail?" Noelle said.
"Ariana." Suzel said. She was quick.
"Here us out, we have a stalker who isn't out for Reed but Billings. Ari has knowledge and a fake identity. We can pull this off." Noelle was almost begging.
"I don't know girls. I could lose everything and so could you. You've been through enough already." Suzel said sounding unsure.
"Leanne Shore is dead. Tiffany Galbourne and Dash have been abducted and Tiffany was almost killed. Dash was pushed out of a window. One of the guys doing this is an old stalker of Noelle's. He gave her the scar she has. Suzel this is worse than what Ariana did. This is much worse." I said taking the phone from Noelle. Ariana just stared at me.
"They did all of that stuff?" Suzel asked.
"Yes. We think you might have Billings's information that we don't. Something evil about our past that is left off of the c.d." Noelle said.
"There was an incident years ago. All of the girls in Billings were sworn to secrecy." Suzel said.
"Well is it information that you could share with us?" I asked.
"Like I said we were sworn to secrecy. I may be able to contact other Billings alum's and see if it gets approved." She said.
"Suzel we really appreciate this, everything. We hope you can help us but if not thank you for your time." Noelle said doubtfully.
"I understand. Billings sisters never let each other down. As much as it goes against my morals all of Billings is in trouble. I am not happy and girls there will be consequences. We will meet tomorrow at my apartment. Be there at three." Suzel said.
"Thank you so much." Noelle said.
"Goodbye girls." Suzel said and hung up.
"Thank you." Ariana said.
"What?" I asked. She was flipping out on me not ten minutes ago but now she was thanking me.
"You talked Suzel into keeping our secret. You convinced her." Ariana said.
"Well don't get used to it." I said.
"You shouldn't get to cocky. Things could go bad any minute and could turn on you for the worst." Ariana said coldly. She stared me down and I kept my glare until the silence was broken.
"So girls, we need to get to the mall don't we?" Kiran asked.
"Why are we going to the mall?" I asked.
"All of Bree's clothes got lost when she was almost killed. She needs a new wardrobe." Kiran said.
"Ok let's go." I said.
"Who said you were welcome?" Ariana asked coldly. I opened my mouth to speak but Noelle beat me there.
"Anywhere we go Reed goes. She is one of us. One of her fingernails is more to me than you will ever be again. If you keep this crap up you will regret it. I suggest you shut up and deal with it." Noelle said glaring at Ariana worse than before.
"Fine I will try to be better." She said. She gave me an evil look but I returned it.
"What are we? Five? Stop acting like children and stop giving each other dirty looks!" Astrid screamed.
When we got into the car everyone was silent. We didn't need passes because technically school wasn't in session. The mall was about twenty minutes away. All I could think about was what would happen after this ended? I didn't know what we would do about Ariana. I didn't know what the police would believe and what they wouldn't. Why couldn't I be a normal girl with normal problems like over dramatic friends and normal drama? Why did it always end in a near death experience or in the death of someone I knew? Why did Thomas have to die? Why did he have to go after me when he supposedly was in love with Ariana before that? Why did Cheyenne have to be such a jerk and try to get Josh to cheat on me? Why did she have to die? Why did my new best friend have to be a crazy stalker who tried to shoot me? Why did my life have to be so messed up?
"Reed!" Noelle shouted.
"What?" I asked.
"We are going in now." Noelle said. I must have been deep in thought because everyone else was out of the car waiting for me. I started to blush and I heard a giggle.
I walked out of the car silently and no one was talking yet.
"Well, let's go." Noelle broke the silence.
"OK," I said. We walked into the mall.
"Let's go look at pants and stuff first." Kiran said.
I was trying on a few things with Ariana while everyone else was waiting for us. I had picked out skinny jeans and two skirts. One skirt was plaid and the other was plain black. I tried them all on and decided I would use the Billings fund to pay for them.
"So, where to next?" I asked.
"Well once she is done we will go look for some shirts and then fn things like dresses and stuff." Noelle said.
"I am bored. We need to cheer up." Kiran said.
"Fine. I will be friendlier." I said.
A few minutes after talking about nothing Ariana came out. She had at least four pairs of pants, three pairs of jeans, and five skirts. We checked out and headed to the next store. I picked out a few sweaters to match the skirts I got. I also got a cute neon green zebra print shirt to match my jeans.
"So guys where to next?" I asked coming out of the dressing room but no one was there and Ariana was still in the dressing room next to me. I turned all around looking for them but I didn't see where they went.
"Noelle. Kiran. Taylor. Astrid." I said but there was no answer.
"Noelle! Seriously this isn't funny. Where are you?" I said louder. Just then I felt someone grab me and cover my mouth so I couldn't scream.
I tried so hard to scream but nothing would come out. I bit the hand around my mouth only to be thrown on the floor. It was him. The man that gave Noelle her scar. He had a knife in his hand and was bringing it closer to me. He had it held at my throat.
"Any last words?" He asked deviously.
"Yeah, good night." I heard someone say and then he fell down hard. I looked up to see Ariana standing there with a metal bar in her hand. She reached to help me up.
"Do you have your phone?" She asked. I checked and it had disappeared.
"No, but how did you know what happened?" I asked.
"Noelle wouldn't leave me alone with you like that without telling us. As soon as I realized she was missing I knew something was up. He must've taken you phone somehow and texted Noelle." Ariana said.
She was reaching into his pockets and took out two phones. On that belonged to him and then my phone. She went through it.
"Noelle is waiting at another store for us. I am telling her to meet us at the car." Ariana said. She handed me my phone and then I felt something sting my arm. I fell to the floor and saw some blood.
"Shit!" Ariana screamed. The man had regained a little consciousness. He stabbed my arm because I saw Ariana grab a knife from behind me and stabbed his leg. He screamed.
"Reed!" She yelled. She helped me up.
"Run!" She screamed. I ran as fast as I could at the moment out of the mall and to Noelle's car. She was waiting for us with Kiran, Taylor, and Astrid.
Once I was safely in the car I noticed the scared glances coming form all around me. All the while Ariana was ripping a piece of fabric off of her new skirt. She tied around my arm to stop the bleeding.
"Put pressure on it." She said.
"What happened?" Noelle asked.
"Yeah, I mean one minute you texted us to meet you at the shoe store and the next your telling us to meet you at the car. When you get here she is bleeding and you were running for your life." Taylor said.
"Well, my phone was stolen by creepy stalker dude. He texted you guys. He came to the dressing room where I was changing and tried to kill me. Ariana saved my life." I said.
"You saved her?" Noelle said.
"Yeah and your point is?" Ariana said.
"Well even though you hate Reed you saved her." Noelle said.
"I don't hate her. I was an ugly jealous psycho. I will admit I lost my sanity over Thomas Pearson but I am over it. It wasn't worth it. He changed his mind. Even though I did so many things for him I ruined it for myself. It was my fault he didn't love me any more. I should have realized it sooner but I didn't. I took my anger out on the person who I thought stole everything from me. The reality is he stole everything from me. Not Reed. I actually stole a lot from her." Ariana said.
"When did this come upon you?" Noelle asked. I was speechless. Ariana had such a big revelation
"It came to me this one night in my correctional facility. I didn't realize what it meant until today. I was lying in my bed when I suddenly got up and said wow. I couldn't believe how stupid I was. I killed Thomas and I almost killed Reed. I owe it to her to be a good friend. I didn't save your life today because I felt I had too. I saved it because I truly wanted to." Ariana said.
"That is the nicest thing you have ever done for me. We should really try to be civil with each other." I suggested.
"That's a deal." Ariana said. We shook hands and I smiled at her. Next to me Kiran screamed.
"Reed you are bleeding!" She shrieked.
"That stupid guy stabbed me." I said.
"I got his phone and if you don't put the peddle to the metal AO is going to be here. In his last text he said. I have Reed trapped come now. She replied I'll be there soon with the supplies." Ariana said.
"That is weird." Taylor said.
"What does it mean?" Astrid asked.
"It means she was going to kill me." I said.
So thank you for everyone who suggested having Ariana save Reed. It really helped me come up with this chapter!
