Hey Guys! New Year means new chapter! Hope you guys enjoy, this is personally one of my favorites with lots of drama. Not giving out any spoilers so you all just better get reading!


"Hey Leo, hey Jordi." Emma smiles as we walk up to the guys. Oh God this is awkward. Jordi gives me small smile and I return the gesture. Okay, situation slightly less awkward.

"Hey Emma." Leo says pecking a kiss on her cheek. "What are you girls up to?"

"We were just going to Bee's room to hang out for a while." Oh shit. I didn't tell her about my new roommate. Jordi gives me a wary look and I grimace. I'm so happy that he's actually looking at me again after all of this that I could care less about barging in on my roomies renovations.

We all make our way to my room. Emma and Leo linger behind while Jordi and I are up front.

"Hey," I start quietly. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry about earlier. My nerves were just frazzled and Dr. Heart always gets me all confused with my feelings and crap. I hope you didn't take anything to heart." I pause. "I actually do like you." I finally say with a slow breath.

"Don't worry about it Bee." Jordi gives me a smile. "I completely understand, it's my fault too, I shouldn't have moved in on you like that. It was uncalled for."

"So, can we have a do-over?" I ask tentatively

"Of course." Jordi grins putting his arm around me. I feel like I'm melting, drowning in my own relief. We turn the corner and I look into my room where there are black curtains and dark decorations hanging all over my room. Heavy metal music is blaring and there is a girl with a short black pixie cut standing on a ladder hanging up a poster of God knows what.

"Oh no." I exclaim unwrapping Jordi's arm from my shoulders and storming in. "Oh Hell no!" I march over to the speakers that are blaring the music and yank the cord. The girl gives me a look before taking a seat on the rung of the ladder she was just standing on.

"You must be Phoebe." She says offering me a dark smile.

"And you must be the freak they assigned as my roommate." I growl.

"Actually it's Ivy." She corrects.

"Like the rash." I scoff. There's a pair of hands on my shoulders.

"Easy there killer.' Leo murmurs in my ear. He lets go and offers Ivy a smile. "Ignore our friend Bee here, she's had a little bit of a rough day."

"It's no problem." Ivy says. She stands up on the ladder before leaping down from the high rung she was on. I let out a small gasp but she lands flat on her feet. She walks over and shakes Leo's hand.

"I'm Leo." He acknowledges during the gesture. By now Emma and Jordi have filed in and are standing back watch the whole scene play out. "That's Emma and Jordi." He introduces everyone.

"Nice to meet you guys." She says plopping back onto her bed which is now adorned with a black comforter and matching pillows. I glare at her.

"Um, I wouldn't get too comfy." I snap. "You still have to take all this weird stuff down."

"No I don't" She replies with a raise of her eyebrows. "That nurse said I could keep them up."

"Well I'm saying you have to put them down!" I exclaim.

"Look blondie," She warns getting up from her bed and marching over to me. "you may have been here first but that doesn't give you permission to act like a total bitch." My jaw drops and I step up to get in her face.

"You brat!" I shout. "You think you can just walk in here like you're some star in a vampire romance novel or something?" Leo grabs my arm and tries to pull me back but he's unstable on his crutches.

"You know Barbie, a lot of people appreciate my edgy style. If you would open your eyes and wake up from that plastic dream of your's you might realize that people actually prefer people with actual opinions than just being bubble headed whores." Oh. My. God. She did not just do that. I jump at her pulling my fist back to nail her right in the nose. Before I can hit her there are arms around my waist and Jordi is pulling me backwards. We are both shouting now over the others who are begging us to stop.

"What is going on here?" A voice rises above all the others. Everyone quiets to see Nurse Jackson and Dr. Heart standing in the doorway. I glare at Ivy and soon we are both shouting over each other trying to get Nurse J to believe our story over the other's. Finally she just snaps. "Phoebe, get out of here. I'll deal with you later."

"No way!" I argue. "This is my room!" She gives me a death glare and Emma takes my arm.

"Come on Bee, just let it go. Let's go for a walk." I'm dragged out of my room but I still shoot on last scowl towards Ivy who just smirks.

Time Skip

I'm pacing Leo and Jordi's room angrily. I can't even form coherent sentences, which is even more frustrating.

"Bee, why don't you just calm down. Do you want to go get ice cream or something?" Dash, who's just recently joined us asks.

"I don't want ice cream, I want that chick out of my room." I growl. I want to have a full out temper tantrum, right here right now. I look around for something to throw before realizing how ridiculous I'm acting. "Oh my God." I whine sliding down onto the floor. "How did this happen?"

"It's okay Bee." Leo consoles. "Maybe you'll learn to like Ivy like I've done with Jordi." Everyone chuckles but me.

"I don't think so." I mumble. "We are complete opposites, I don't think we could ever get along."

"Maybe you could just give her a chance." Jordi suggests softly. Immediately a surge of jealousy takes over me. What if Ivy was right? What if I'm just some plastic, stereotypical white girl, what if everyone ends up liking her more than me? Oh man, I'm two batwings away from losing all of my friends.

"I-I need some air." I say stumbling out of The Swamp.

Time Skip

"Hey Bee, are you okay?" I hear a soft voice behind me. It doesn't take much to recognize the voice as Nurse Brittany's. I'm sitting in a little lobby outside of the X-ray room. I didn't think anyone would find me here, I guess I was wrong. I'm sitting behind a sofa facing a wall with my legs crossed and my head in my hands. I don't raise my gaze, hopefully if I stay super still and don't say anything she will leave me alone. Brittany takes a seat beside me, putting her hand on my thigh soothingly.

"I'm fine." I choke out. I once read somewhere that everyone hates when you say you're fine, makes sense.

"Nurse Jackson was looking for you." Brittany replies quietly.

"Don't tell her I'm here please." I squeak. I've been crying and I'm positive I look like a hot mess.

"I wouldn't be able to if I tried." She chuckles. I give her a confused look.

"What are you talking about?"

"I mean," she says scooting cover as to put her arms around me in a hug. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to stay right here and make sure you're okay." I hate when people see me cry because I want to be the strong girl but then again I hate when nobody notices how torn apart and broken I am. Now someone is being sweet enough to be here for me and I'm pushing them away. Typical Bee move.

"Please Britt." I beg "I just want to be alone." She takes her hand and strokes my hair gently.

"Aww Bee. I don't want to leave you alone, it's obvious that you're hurting and I'm here to talk. Maybe we can go get some ice cream or something." She offers kindly.

"I WANT TO BE ALONE! AND WHAT IS WITH EVERYONE AND ICE CREAM AROUND HERE?" I shout getting up and running down the hallway.

"Phoebe! Wait! I'm sorry, just please wait up." Brittany's voice quiets as I get farther away. I begin to wander the halls, my tear ducts empty but the knot in my throat is still present along with my mascara streaked eyes and red face. Eventually I find myself passing a nurses station. When I notice Nurse Jackson there I look straight ahead of me hoping she won't notice.

"Phoebe." I hear her voice pipe up. "Where have you been." I quickly raise up my hand towards her, continuing on my way. Thankfully she doesn't follow me, I don't think I can face anyone for a little while, I need to get myself together before I make an even bigger fool of myself.
