The Devil Inside

Chapter 18

Lexi's P.O.V.

~

"What are you doing here?"  My tone is harsh and sounds like a blade cutting through the air. 

"Can't I come and see my favourite girl?" God, that accent would have had me swooning years ago, but now I know better.

"No, now leave, you're causing a scene and drawing attention." He laughs.

"You never did like the limelight, all though it did seem to follow you and that gorgeous body of yours everywhere." I glare at him while he checks me out. I look to Uncle Jerry to tell him to explain. He sighs.

"I got a call about two hours ago saying that some fancy car was in the parking lot, and a lot of the kids were out there. And then Mr. Hotshot over here came out and everyone started yelling and swooning and fangirling so I took him to my office so he wouldn't get killed by a flash mob."

"You should have let him get killed." Uncle J tries to hide a smile while Ryder acts hurt. 

"Ouch love, you just gonna wound me like that?" 

"I could do worse with a g*n or a blade but my words will do for now. So, why are you here?" I cross my arms and stand in my no b******t position. He clears his throat before stepping towards me.

"Lexi, love, I miss you terribly and I am so incredibly sorry for what I did in the past. I hope you can forgive me and we can be a couple again because I am still in love with you Lexi." He looks sincere but I can't help it, I burst out laughing. I laugh until my sides hurt and I need to sit down. 

"What's so funny about that?" He acts like he didn't break my non-existent heart.

"You wanna get back with me because you love me? Ok is this for a new movie? Is there cameras? Where are they?" I start looking around. 

"There are no cameras and this is sincere. I do love and miss you. I want you back Lexi." I sober up and stand. I walk to him and see hope on his face, but it is wiped straight off when I smack him.

"F**k you Ryder. Leave me alone." I storm out of the office and I can hear him try to follow me. The students standing in front of the office quickly move out my way. 

"Lexi love please just stop and talk with me. I swear I have changed and am willing to work this out with you." God his voice annoys me. I stop and turn around to face him, and I notice that basically everyone in the school, teachers included and surrounding.

"When will you get it through your thick skull that I don't want to be with you after you used me for your own personal gain? You need to leave me alone or else you will regret it." He looks at me.

"Is that meant to be a threat?" He asks.

"No, it's a promise."

"ALEXANDRA!" Oh God not her. I hear he high heels click against the tiles. I spin around to face her.

"What now Tiffany? I seriously don't have time for this." 

"Why did Max break up with me?1 He confronted me about cheating and then text me that we are broken up! I did not cheat on him." I give her my best 'are you serious?' look.

"Maybe not today you cheated on him, but yesterday you did and when he followed you to see where you were going, he saw you make out with a guy at some sleazy motel. Now, Ryder here, is the same , maybe you two should date each other. You both cheat on your partners for no reason so, hey, why not give it a try and then you can both stop bothering me, hmm?" Just then she noticed Ryder standing right behind. She tries to make her silicone enhanced t**s bigger and look more nice for him.

"Oh, hi Ryder, it's very nice to meet you." She says and I'm sure she is trying to sound seductive.

''Wow, you really are a s**t Tiffany. A minute ago you were ready to attack me about your boyfriend breaking up with you and now your over here flirting with the biggest f-boy on the planet. You two really deserve each other, now, I'm sure Tiffany could escort you two to the nearest janitors closet as I'm sure she knows where they are and I will be going now. MAXWELL!" Everyone covers their ears as I scream. A few seconds later Maxwell pushes through the crowd and stands in front of me, breathing heavily.

"What? What's wrong?" 

"Nothing I just need to go home now so if you would take me that would be highly appreciated." He nods and we start walking until Tiffany, once again, stands in my way. 

"You went to her house?! Max how could you do that to me we're together and we love each other?" I am getting sick of her.

"Move Tiffany or you'll regret it." I threaten her but she then just turns her heated gaze to me.

"You, this is all your fault. If you never come back none of this would have happened. Or better yet, if you had died with your parents, the world would be a better place." Everyone gasps but I just start laughing, like full blown laughing.

"Oh, Tiffany, you have no idea who you are messing with. I'm sure that you have never left this town, am I right?'' The look on her face confirms it.

"You know nothing about the outside world and my importance in it. I guarantee that if I died right this second, it would be blasted all over the news with people mourning my death. But if you died, no on would care, not even your parents, they would think 'oh good, now we have actual money to spend', and the boys only like you because your legs are like a drive thru, open twenty fours hours, and your friends couldn't even be classified as friends as they only are with you because your dad is mayor and that grants you some immunity from the drugs, underage drinking, and other things they have been charged with. So as my death would make a huge difference in the world, yours would be insignificant, like you are. Now, move out of my way for the last time or I will make you regret it." She moves to the side and I can see tears in her eyes when she does, but honestly I could not care less. I go to Maxwell's car and he follows me. I sit in the passengers seat and allow him to drive. He does and we don't speak, sitting in silence. He pulls up to my house and I get out, I hear him follow. 

"I know you're gonna get back with her after making her promise she won't cheat again. Everyone does, and you're stupid for thinking she'll change. Once a cheater, always a cheater." Then I close my door and get up to my rooms so I can change and explain everything to Tommy. As I'm opening my door I start talking,

"Tommy you'll never believe who I saw today." He's not in the room. but everything is the same except for a piece of paper stuck to my open window, which Tommy would not have done. I go up to the window and grab the letter, I read it.

'Alexandra, or should I call you Lexi, that's what everyone calls you these days, isn't it? Anyways, I have taken Tommy with me when I saw you weren't at home. Before you ask if this is a prank, no it's not. We have taken Tommy prisoner and to get him back you have to bring your Uncle Jerry and meet us at 4673 Cherrywood Avenue at 11pm tonight. Any other people besides Jerry and yourself will result in all three of your deaths. Now, tick tock, Tommy isn't going to last long without medical treatment for the gunshot wounds.

- K.V'

"F**K!!" I yell as I punch a hole through the wall. This means war.
