Chapter 30: Girls Trip

Monday after school Becky walked outside to find all the girls gathering in the parking lot. She took a deep breath before making her way over to them.

"Renee, Paige, and Bayley can ride with me." Carmella said.

Nikki let out a polite smile as Becky approached.

"I'm glad you decided to come." Nikki told her.

Becky smiled awkwardly as Mandy and Brie gave her a dirty look. Alexa looked over when Sasha pulled into the parking lot.

"Finally." Mandy said.

"She's coming?" Becky asked.

"Yeah." Nikki said as she forced another smile.

Becky and Alexa both watched as Sasha walked up to them.

"Wow.. This is gonna be a total shit show." Sasha said.

Becky let out a small laugh while Alexa slightly nodded her head in disapproval.

"Becky, Alexa, and Sasha.. you guys can ride with me if you'd like?" Nikki asked reluctantly.

All three of the girls were hesitant to agree.

"Yeah." Alexa said.

"Sure." Becky added.

Sasha glanced at Nikki for a moment,  silently thanking her for inviting her.

Renee looked over as Aj suddenly walked outside.

"I hope it's okay I invited her?" Paige asked.

"You invited Aj?" Renee asked as everyone watched her approach the group.

"Corey said you guys have been getting along so I thought it'd be a good idea for her to come." Paige said.

"Right. Because god forbid you and I actually hang out together without a whole group of people." Renee mumbled under her breath.

Aj glanced over at Renee for a moment as Paige shot her a polite smile.

"Aj can ride with us." Mandy said.

"Okay then, I think we're all set." Nikki said.

All the girls disbursed and made their way to their assigned vehicles. Nikki approached her drivers side door while Becky, Sasha, and Alexa looked at each other awkwardly, not knowing who should take shot gun.

"You can sit up front, Becky." Nikki said before getting in the car.

"Great." Becky said I enthusiastically.

Sasha and Alexa gave each other and awkward look as they both got into opposite side of the back seat.

In Carmella's car she was driving while Bayley sat in the passenger seat. Paige and Renee were sitting in the back in silence.

Mandy was drinking her car with Brie in the passenger seat and Aj day in the back.

All three vehicles pulled out of the school parking lot and followed each other onto the street.

"So you and Roman broke up?" Mandy asked casually.

Brie looked out the window uncomfortably for a moment.

"It's just a break, until he figures out what he wants.." Brie told her.

Mandy nodded slowly as she thought over what Brie has just said. Aj was sitting the back feeling completely out of place.

"What about you? Are you seeing anyone?" Mandy asked as she glanced at Aj in the rearview mirror.

"Not exactly." Aj said.

Brie and Mandy both looked back at her curiously for a moment.

"But there is someone?" Brie asked.

"There's this girl.. but she has a girlfriend." Aj told her.

"Oh. I totally forgot you were gay!" Mandy said.

Aj tried her best not to smart something off to them.

"Do you guys really do that scissor thing?" Brie asked seriously.

All emotion left Aj's face as she contemplated jumping out of the car.

In the car behind them, Carmella was struggling to keep up with Mandy.

"She's totally speeding right now." Carmella said in annoyance.

"Well you're going like ten under the speed limit so maybe you could step on it a little?" Bayley asked.

Carmella shook her head and continued driving cautiously. In the backseat, Paige looked over at Renee as she stared out the window. She reached for her hand but she pulled away.

In front of Mandy, Nikki was driving in complete silence. Becky didn't feel comfortable starting a conversation with Alexa or Nikki and she couldn't exactly start talking to Sasha like they were friends.

"So how are things with you and Miz, Lexi?" Nikki asked suddenly.

Sasha glanced over at Alexa awkwardly for a moment.

"It's good." Alexa said, not wanting to rub her relationship in Sasha's face.

The girls got quiet again, Nikki still not sure what they could talk about without hurting anyone's feelings. Becky pulled out her phone and text Sasha.

"How was your mom? Is she doing better?"
-Becky

Sasha looked down at her phone and couldn't help but let out a slight smile.

"She's good. Sorry I didn't text you all weekend. How are things with Seth?"
-Sasha

"We're doing better.."
-Becky

"But?"
-Sasha

"He's just been getting really close with Luke, that's all."
-Becky

"And that bothers you because you think he's trying to replace Dean?"
-Sasha

Alexa couldn't help but piece together that Sasha and Becky were texting each other. She rolled her eyes in annoyance. Becky put down her phone after reading Sasha's last text.

At Miz's house, he and Roman were shooting hoops in his backyard.

"Damnit!" Miz yelled in frustration as Roman made a three point shot.

"You suck at defense, man." Roman told him.

"He's right." Seth said as he walked outside.

Roman looked over at Seth in confusion as he tried to catch his breath.

"What the fuck is this?" Roman asked Miz.

Seth let out a sigh as he too looked at Miz questionably.

"I'm tired of going back and forth between the two of you. It's time you guys work your shit out." Miz told them.

"So youboarent trapped us?" Seth asked.

"Yeah, kind of. It's was Lexi's idea." Miz told them.

Roman shook his head in disapproval.

"I'm out." Roman said as he grabbed his bag and began to walk away.

"One game." Miz said suddenly.

Roman stopped and looked back at him.

"Just one game and you guys can go back to hating each other." Miz said.

Seth looked over at Roman for a moment, kind of hoping he would agree.

"One game." Roman said as he threw down his bag.

Seth gave a slight nod of approval to Miz as he made his way onto the court.

"You start." Roman said as he aggressively threw the ball to Seth.

Miz stood back at watched awkwardly as Seth began to dribble the ball. Roman guarded him like his life depended on it. They both stared into each other's eyes, feeling the tension between them. As Seth tried to take a step left of the court Roman jumped in and took the ball from him. Seth stood there in frustration for a moment as Roman made a shot.


About an hour later, the girls arrived at the mall in Fulton. Aj couldn't have gotten out of Mandy's car and quicker.

"Okay, so I thought we could all split up and meet back at the food court around five?" Nikki asked as the girls circled around her.

"Aj, why don't you come with me and Renee?" Paige asked.

Aj looked over at Renee for permission.

"Yeah, I don't see why not." Renee said uncomfortably.

"We'll go with you guys too." Carmella said as she grabbed Bayley and followed them.

Nikki looked around at Becky, Alexa, Sasha, Brie, and Mandy as they stood their in silence.

"Okay, I guess we've established our groups. Let's go." Nikki said as she walked away, leading the girls into the mall.





Carmella had lead her group into Macy's as they each looked for their own dress.

"So you're going with Corey, huh?" Bayley asked curiously.

"Uh huh." Carmella said.

"Interesting.." Bayley said.

Carmella rolled her eyes and moved to another rack.

Aj was watching Renee and Paige from a few racks over as she tried to look busy.

"So where were you yesterday? I went to the cafe and Becky said she was filling in for you." Renee asked.

Paige looked down uncomfortably.

"I had family stuff." Paige told her.

"Right." Renee said as she shook her head in disapproval.






In Dillard's, Mandy and Brie had already grabbed a whole stack of dresses to wear while Becky struggled to find something.

"I'm glad you and Seth have each other.." Nikki said casually as she looked for a dress behind her.

Becky looked back at her curiously for a moment.

"He's different with you.. You're good for him." Nikki told her.

Becky let out a slight smile.

"Here. This would look great on you." Nikki said as she handed Becky a short halter dress of black lace with a deep v-neck.

"Thanks." Becky said as she took the dress.

A few racks over, Sasha was looking for her size of a gold, sequin pant suit.

"Heading to the dressing room?" Alexa asked as she held carried a short, white poof dress for herself.

Sasha let out a polite smile and lead the way to the dressing rooms. Mandy, Brie, and Becky were all in their own dressing rooms and there was only one available room open.

"You can go ahead.. or we can share?" Alexa asked her.

"Um.. sure, yeah." Sasha said awkwardly.

Both former friends walked into the dressing room together and shut the door.

"You didn't get a dress?" Alexa asked as she took notice of Sasha's pantsuit.

"I'm trying something different." Sasha told her.

Alexa let out a soft smile before taking off her shirt. Sasha turned around, trying her best not to look at Alexa's boobs.

Sasha got changed in the corner while Alexa took up nearly half of the dressing room. After a few minutes, Sasha turned around and saw Alexa in her dress.

"Wow. You look amazing.." Sasha told her.

Alexa looked at herself in the mirror, and for first time in a long time she didn't hate the way she looked. Sasha cautiously walked in front of the mirror at herself. Alexa watched as Sasha's eyes liked with tears.

"Here." Alexa said as she walked up behind Sasha and pulled her hair out from the back of the pantsuit.

Sasha smiled proudly through her tears as she admired how beautiful she looked.

"This is me." Sasha said to herself.

Alexa was still standing behind her as she looked in the mirror.

"You look perfect." Alexa told her.

A tear fell down Sasha's face as she took a deep breath.

"Lexi.. there's something you should know." Sasha told her.

Alexa looked at her curiously through the mirror. Sasha hesitated for a moment.

"I- I like girls, Lexi." Sasha told her.

Alexa continued looking at Sasha through the mirror without er facial expression changing.

"I'm a gay." Sasha tried to clarify.

"Yeah, I know." Alexa said with a slight smile on her face.

Sasha furrowed her eye brow and turned around.

"What?" Sasha asked in confusion.

"We've been best friends since we were like five, Sasha. I've known for awhile." Alexa told her.

"But you- How did you-?" Sasha tried to ask.

Alexa let out a small laugh.

"Of all the sleepovers and we've had you think I never noticed those little glances when we got dressed?" Alexa asked her.

Sasha froze in embarrassment.

"Or how you always loved playing with my hair? And don't get me started on all the times we went swimming together. I don't think you went thirty seconds without checking out my breasts." Alexa told her.

Sasha looked down shamefully.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Sasha asked nervously.

"Well I kind of thought you would tell me. I mean that's how it's supposed to work right?" Alexa laughed a little.

"You know I wasn't like into you, right? I mean I was just a teenager trying to figure out who I was. It's not like I had a crush on you or anything.." Sasha told her.

The smile on Alexa's face slightly faded.

"Yeah, I know." She said.

Sasha looked up at her with tears still in her eyes.

"I should have told you sooner.. I'm sorry." Sasha apologized.

"It's okay.. I just don't get everything that happened with us and Miz. I mean if you are into girls, why date him?" Alexa asked her.

"He was my way of hiding. I got to pretend with him.." Sasha said.

"But why get so upset about him and I? I mean if you didn't care about him then why were you so hurt?" Alexa asked her.

Sasha looked into Alexa's eyes helplessly for a moment.

"I think I convinced myself that I love him. And when he didn't love me back I thought something was wrong with me.. But the truth is that I never loved him, not the way I was supposed to. I don't know.. I'm starting to think I'm responsible for all this pain I keep causing myself.." Sasha told her.

Alexa put her hands on Sasha's shoulder's and turned her back around to face the mirror.

"What happened with you, me and Miz was not your fault, Sasha. Maybe you guys shouldn't have been together in the first place but the bottom line is that you were together. And regardless of the circumstances, he and I still cheated. It wasn't your fault." Alexa told her.

Sasha let out a slight smile as she looked at Alexa through the mirror.

"Thanks, Lexi." Sasha said.

"Does this mean we can call a truce?" Alexa asked her.

"Yeah.. I guess it does." Sasha laughed happily.





A few dressing rooms over, Mandy had walked in to help Brie with her dress.

"So I was thinking me, you and Roman should all still go to homecoming together. We can all go as friends." Brie told her.

Mandy zipped up Brie's dress and took a deep breath.

"Are you sure Roman would be okay with that?" Mandy asked her.

"Why wouldn't he be?" Brie asked.

"I don't know. I'm just saying that if you guys are on a break then-." Mandy began to say.

"Just because we are on a break doesn't mean we can't still be friends. I mean he and I were friends before all of this happened anyway." Brie told her.

"I know, I just-." Mandy tried to say.

"Do you still like him or something? Is that what this is about?" Brie asked her suddenly.

Mandy looked at Brie in disbelief.

"I was just trying to be considerate of Roman feelings, okay? I thought maybe he might want to skip out on homecoming since Becky and Seth will be there together. Or do you just never think his feelings?" Mandy asked before storming out of the dressing room.

Becky was standing outside the dressing room when Brie walked out. They looked at each other awkwardly for a movement before they were interrupted by Alexa and Sasha walking out of their dressing room together. Becky was a little surprise to see them getting a long so well.

"Come on, let's look at shoes." Alexa said as she grabbed Sasha's hand and lead her away.

"They worked things out pretty quick." Nikki said as she walked out of a dressing room.

Becky let out another polite smile, not sure what to say to Nikki.

"Look, I don't want things to be weird between us, you know? I mean Seth really cares about you..and he and I are still friends. I just want us to be able to get along." Nikki told her.

Becky looked at Nikki skeptically for a moment.

"Why are you still his friend, anyway?" Becky asked suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Nikki asked in confusion.

"I get why you want to be friends and I agree. But I just don't get why you are still friends with Seth after he cheated on you?" Becky asked.

Nikki froze for a moment at a loss for words.

"But you've still been giving Sasha a hard time.. I mean I get that she played her part in the cheating but he's the one that made a commitment to you. So why were you so willing to forgive Seth and not Sasha?" Becky asked her.

"I don't know.. I guess I just thought that Sasha was my friend. I thought she knew how much Seth meant to me." Nikki said awkwardly.

Becky looked down uncomfortably for a moment.

"Oh.. Okay." Becky said.

Nikki cautiously walked away, not exactly sure what had just happened.

Back at Macy's, Renee was trying on a beautiful, short, maroon, A-Line style dress when Paige slid into her dressing room.

"You look hot, babe." Paige told her.

Renee got an unsettling in her stomach as Paige gently pushed her up against the wall and kissed her on the lips. Unlike so many times before, the butterflies in Renee's stomach had disappeared.

"As great as this dress looks on you.. I think I like you better without it." Paige said as she reached her hand back unzipped the dress.

Renee looked up at Paige innocently as her dress fell off of her. Paige got down in her knees and pulled down Renee's. panties. As Paige's lips kissed the top of her womanhood, Renee suddenly forgot all of the problems the two of them had been having. She put her hand over her mouth to stop herself from screaming as Paige went down in her.

Bayley and Carmella were in line after picking out their dresses. Bayley had chosen a deep blue sequenced, long sleeve, body con style dress. Carmella on the hand had gone with an elegant, long, velvet, red, slip dress with a slit up to her thigh.

"You and Corey have been getting pretty close lately.." Bayley said.

"Okay, out with it. What are getting at?" Carmella asked in annoyance.

"You know he's cheating on you, right?" Bayley asked.

Carmella stared at Bayley helplessly for a moment as if she had been exposed.

"Bayley." Carmella said as tears filled her eyes.

"You do know, don't you?" Bayley asked.

Carmella nodded slowly as tears fell down her face.

"How could I be so stupid?" Carmella asked with a crack in her voice as Bayley wrapped her arms around her.

"You're not stupid, Mella. This is in him.." Bayley said as she comforted her with a hug.

Aj had already decided on a short, rose gold, slip dress when she made her way over to the dressing rooms. Just as approached, Renee opened her dressing room door. Alive gave her one last kiss before walking away. Aj watched Renee for a moment as she fixed her bra strap.

"Real classy, Renee." Aj said in disappointment before walking into a dressing room and shutting the door.

Renee went back in her room and let out a deep breath.

"She's my girlfriend." Renee said quietly through the wall.

Aj let out an uncomfortable laugh.

"Is she? Because it seems like the only time she knows she's your girlfriend is she she wants in your pants." Aj snapped back.

"You're just saying that because-." Renee began to say before stopping herself.

Aj put her hand on the wall as her eyes filled with tears.

"Because I'm in love with you?" Aj asked hesitantly.

Renee stared at the empty wall for a moment as a lump grew in the back of her throat. Suddenly, there was a knock at Renee's door. She reluctantly unlocked the door and opened it to find Aj standing there.

"Aj." Renee tried to say.

Renee knee my the look in Aj's eyes what was about to happen but she didn't stop her. Aj walked into the dressing room and pressed her lips against Renee's. She shut the door behind her as they shared a slow, passionate kiss. As Aj held Renee's face she felt those familiar butterflies finally appear in her stomach as a tear fell from her face. Renee was holding Aj's waist lightly as they broke their kiss. They looked into each other's eyes as they heart began to beat faster. Aj tucked Renee's hair behind her ear and let out a conflicted smile.

"Tell me you didn't feel that?" Aj asked her.

Renee stared down at Aj helplessly. For a moment, Aj thought Renee was going to say something but she never did. Renee watched with a sharp pain in her chest as Aj left her dressing room. She closed her eyes in frustration as another tear fell down her face.

At the food court, Nikki and Sasha were in line together for pizza while Becky waited in line alone for a burger. Alexa was sitting at the table waiting for the girls to get their food.

"I'm sorry about not forgiving you." Niki said suddenly.

Sasha looked at her in confusion.

"I forgave Seth but I didn't forgive you.." Nikki said.

"It's okay, I get it." Sasha said awkwardly.

"I just.. I thought you understood what he meant to me?" Nikki asked curiously.

"I did.. and I'm sorry, okay? I slept with him for my own selfish reasons and it was a mistake." Sasha said.

"You wouldn't sleep with him again would you? Because after what Becky went through with Roman and Mandy-." Nikki began to ask.

"I wouldn't do that to her." Sasha said.

Nikki looked at her curiously for a moment.

"Wait. Why would you asked me that though? You don't think he would actually cheat on her do you?" Sasha asked with concern.

"I don't think he wants to, no. But it's Seth. I know him better than anyone, Sasha.. When things get bad at home he takes it out on himself. So if something happens-." Nikki began to say.

"You think he would sabotage his relationship with Becky like that?" Sasha asked.

"Not intentionally.. But yeah. He always does this. Do you remember in fifth grade when he got it a fight with Buddy Murphy over nothing?" Nikki asked.

Sasha let out a small laugh.

"Yeah, weren't we taking a test or something?" Sasha asked.

"Yeah. He and I studied all week for that test. Seth new every answer.. But his parents had this big fight the night before and he got nervous about taking the test.. So he sabotaged himself by starting that fight. The teacher automatically failed him." Nikki told her.

Sasha thought over what Nikki just said.

"Wow. I guess I never really saw it that way.." Sasha said.

"I'm not saying that he's going to cheat, but he might do something he'll regret.. And I don't want to see him get hurt, whether it's from Becky or himself." Nikki told her.

Sasha looked down shamefully for a moment as a rush of guilt came over her.

At the table, Becky returned with her food to find Alexa texting Miz. She sat down with hesitance, hoping Sasha and Nikki wouldn't be much longer. Alexa looked up from her phone for a moment with skepticism.

"I think you should stay away from Sasha." Alexa said suddenly.

Becky stared at her in confusion for a moment.

"Excuse me?" Becky asked.

"You think I don't see the way she looks at you?" Alexa asked as she sat up in her chair.

Becky just sat there in disbelief as Alexa continued.

"I don't know what is going on between you guys but it has to stop." Alexa said.

"And why is that?" Becky asked curiously.

"Because you hurt people. And that look that Roman has in his eyes every time you walk into a room.. I don't want to see that look on her face. She doesn't deserve that." Alexa told her.

Becky shook her head in disapproval.

"Since when do you even care about Sasha's feelings? Because the last time I checked, you're the one that slept with her boyfriend." Becky snapped back.

"That's different..I didn't mean for her to get hurt." Alexa said suddenly.

"Do you even care about her? Or can you just not stand to be by yourself?" Becky asked defensively.

Alexa looked at Becky furiously.

"How is it that the minute she and Miz started dating you suddenly get feelings for him? Weren't the three of you friends for years before that? Why not tell him how you felt before?" Becky asked her.

"I didn't want to ruin our friendship, okay? I'd think you of all people would understand that." Alexa told her.

Becky froze for a moment as the reference Alexa made to Dean.

"So Sasha can't date anyone without you taking them away from her and now you think her and I are friends or something so you have to keep me away? Wow.. You're a hell of a lot more selfish than I thought." Becky told her.

"I'm the selfish one? Aren't you the one playing with everyone's feelings?" Alexa asked.

Just as Becky prepared to fire back, Nikki and Sasha approached the table.

"Hey, guys. What are you talking about?" Sasha asked as she sat down next to Alexa.

Becky and Alexa stared at each other for a moment.

"Nothing." They said at the same time as Nikki sat down beside Becky.

A few minutes later, Bayley and Carmella lead the way into the food court as Paige, Renee, and Aj followed behind them. Aj watched uncomfortably as Paige put her arm around Renee.

"Find your dresses?" Nikki asked as Carmella and Bayley sat to the left of her.

"Yeah." Bayley said as Paige and Renee sat down to the right of Sasha.

Aj walked around and sat next to Bayley, across from Renee.

"Do you even have a date, Nikki?" Mandy asked as she approached the table and sat down next to Aj.

"Not exactly, no. But I thought I could go by myself. You know, female empowerment and all that stuff." Nikki said.

"Right." Mandy said as the girls looks around uncomfortably.

Hire walked up tot he table and sat next to Renee.

"Where have you been?" Nikki asked.

"Getting some air." Brie said as she stared a hole through Mandy.

"You don't have a date either do you, Aj?" Paige asked her.

"Nope." Aj said as she glanced over at Renee.

"Maybe we could go together?" Nikki asked her.

Aj looked over at Nikki uncomfortably for a moment.

"Um.. yeah, sure." Aj reluctantly agreed.

"And Sasha, too. She doesn't have a date. You guys can go as a throuple!" Alexa added.

Sasha looked around for a moment with hesitance.

"I actually do have a date." Sasha said suddenly.

"You do?" Alexa asked.

Becky looked up at Sasha curiously.

"What's his name?" Mandy asked.

"It's a surprise. You'll guys will have to wait until homecoming to find out." Sasha told them.

Becky looked down uncomfortably for a moment.

Nikki looked down as her phone buzzed.

"What dress did you get?"
     -Artem

"It's a teal, high-low, spaghetti strap dress."
    -Nikki

"Wow, what a coincidence.. I about to go by a teal tie for my suit."
     -Artem

All the girls watched as Nikki smiled down at her phone.

"Who's that?" Brie asked asked.

"What?" Nikki asked a she quickly locked her phone.

"You were just blushing at your phone. Who was it?" Brie asked.

"It was Nana. She just wanted to know what dress I got." Nikki lies to her sister.

"Nana, my ass.." Mandy commented.

After her conversation with alexa, Becky wasn't exactly in the mood to way anymore. As she got up to throw her food away, Sasha followed her.

"Where are you going?" Alexa asked.

"I have to throw.. this away." Sasha said a she grabbed someone's straw wrapper and hurried off.

Becky looked up at Sasha as she approached her at the trashcan.

"I thought you were done playing with guys, Sasha? We talked about this-." Becky began to say in disappointment.

"I am." Sasha told her.

"But you said you have a date-?" Becky tried to asked.

"Her name is Tessa." Sasha revealed.

Becky looked at Sasha in surprise for a moment.

"Oh." Becky said awkwardly.

"And.. I kissed her." Sasha said suddenly.

"You- you kissed.. another girl?" Becky asked in confusion.

Sasha looked up at Becky apologetically.

"Im sorry. Should I not have told you that?" Sasha asked.

"No. It's okay, I'm glad you're telling me.. I'm just a little caught off guard here." Becky tried to laugh.

Sasha waited while Becky tried to wrap her head around what she was hearing.

"So how was it? Is she a good kisser?" Becky asked.

"She's not you, if that's what you're asking." Sasha told her.

Becky looked down at Sasha with a sharp pain in her chest.

"I never actually thought I would kiss another girl.. I just assumed it would always be you, you know?" Sasha asked.

"Yeah.. I know." Becky said sincerely.

"I miss you." Sasha told her.

Becky let out a small smile.

"Maybe you can come over after this?" Becky asked.

"Come over?" Sasha asked skeptically.

"Just so we can talk.. that's all." Becky said.

Sasha let out a small smile herself.

"Yeah, I'd like that." Sasha told her.

Alexa watched uncomfortably from the table as Becky and Sasha smiled at each other.

"So I was thinking since we're in Fulton.." Bayley. Egan to say.

Everyone brought their attention to Bayley as Becky and Sasha returned to the table.

"There's someone I think we should pay a little visit to." Bayley said mischievously.



Back in Arlington Heights, Seth and Roman we're both tied at ten points each as Miz watched them nervously. Seth had the ball and the next shot won the game. As Roman guarded Seth all he could think about was Becky. Before he even knew what he was doing, Roman punches Seth across the face.

"Damnit." Miz let out as Seth fell to the ground.

Roman stood over Seth as he wiped the bliss from his nose.

"You were supposed to be my best friend." Roman told him.

Seth felt a sharp pain in his stomach as Roman looked at him like he was a stranger. As Roman began to walk away, Seth brought himself to his knees.

"I'm sorry, man." Seth said.

Roman turned around slowly as Seth finally made it to his feet.

"If I had know she was yours, I never would have-." Seth began to say.

"Never would have what?" Roman asked.

"I never would have fell in love with her." Seth told him.

Roman's eyes filled with tears as he watched Seth.

"But you knew when you slept with her.. You knew she was mine!" Roman yelled threw his tears.

For a moment, Seth contemplated telling Roman what Becky had revealed to him a few nights ago.

"What is she wasn't?" Seth asked.

"She was." Roman told him.

"But hypothetically..what if it was all a lie? Would that make you feel better?" Seth asked.

Roman shook his head and he tried to think of a scenario where what Seth was saying would make sense.

"She was mine, man. We had something that you would never understand.. it was special." Roman told him.

In that moment, Seth knew he couldn't take away Roman's memory of him and Becky together.

"You're right, man. I'll never know what you guys had and that's okay. But you've gotta understand that we've got something too. Me and her.. we've got something, man." Seth told him.

Miz watched uncomfortably as the color drained from Roman's face.

"What if I'm still in love with her?" Roman asked helplessly.

Seth closed his eyes as a tear fell down his face.

"If that's true.. then I don't think I could blame you. And to be honest, if I were in your shoes, I probably wouldn't have been able to handle as well as you." Seth told him.

"You think he's handling this well?" Miz commented.

Roman and Seth both let out a small laugh.

"I mean if roles were reversed and you'd done this to me.. I would never be able to forgive you. So if you want to hate me for the rest of our lives.. I can't blame you, man." Seth said with a crack in his voice.

Roman watched Seth for a moment as Miz waited nervously for Roman's response.

"Yeah, well.. I might just do that." Roman said before walking away.

Seth stood there hopelessly as tears began streaming down his face. Miz looked over at Seth and couldn't help but feel bad for him.

After making a small trip to the hardware store, the girls had drove to Fulton High School and parked their cars.

"I've got a really bad feeling about this." Aj said as Carmella popped her trunk.

All the girls huddled around the back of Carmella's car and stared at their equipment.

"Let's get to work, girls." Carmella said as she grabbed a sledge hammer.

Becky scratched her head for a moment, knowing that this was not a good idea. But part of her felt for Carmella so she grabbed the other sledgehammer.

Bayley was already slashing the tires on Colin's car while Fulton's football team were practicing on the field.

Nikki popped the hood of the car and took a pair of scissors to ally his wires.

Renee was getting started on writing something in spray pain with Paige stood back and watched.

Carmella took a deep breath while Becky gave her an encouraging smile.

"You got this." Becky told her.

Carmella closed her eyes and replayed every awful thing Colin had done and said to her.

"Mother fucker!" Carmella yelled furiously as she drove the sledgehammer through Colin's windshield.

All the girls cheered Carmella on.

"Damn, that felt good." Carmella told Becky.

"My turn." Becky said as she threw her sledgehammer to his driver side window.

Aj has reluctantly taken a knife that Bayley handed her and helped with slashing the tires.

Mandy and Brie grabbed a can of red paint and opened it up.

"Ready?" Mandy asked.

"Look out, girls!" Brie yelled.

Everyone moved out of the way as Brie and Mandy tosses the girl can of paint on Colin's car.

Paige let out a laugh as the girls continued trashing the car when a guy in a football uniform walked up beside her.

"I would ask why you guys are trashing Colin's car but I'm sure he deserves it." He said.

Paige looked over at him for a moment.

"Smart boy." Paige said as she took noticed of his many tattoos.

"Why's tent you helping the power puff girls?" He asked her.

Paige let out a small laugh.

"As much as I love all this chaos, I really can't afford to get in anymore trouble right now." Paige told him.

"Anymore trouble, huh?" He asked.

Paige looked over at him and let out a smile.

"Phil?" Brie asked as she saw him talking to Paige.

Phil looked over at Brie as all emotion left his face.

"Hey, I-." Brie began to say as she walked his way.

"It was nice meeting you." Phil told Paige before walking away.

Mandy watched as Brie stood there hopelessly.

"Who was that?" Nikki asked.

Brie felt an uneasiness in her stomach as tears filled her eyes.

"No one." Brie said as she tried to brush off her discomfort.

"What the fuck?" Colin asked as he approached his car.

Carmella and Becky were standing on top of the trashed car with sledgehammers in hand.

"We're done, Colin." Carmella told him.

"Are you fucking kidding me right now? Get the fuck over here!" Colin yelled in frustration.

Carmella stood her ground as all the girls crossed their arms.

"You crazy bitch." Colin said directly to Carmella.

Suddenly, Bayley rapped on Colin's shoulder with bare knuckles in hand. As he turned around she punched him across the face, busting his nose open.

"Fuck you, Colin." Bayley said as she kicked him in the nuts.

"Oh, fuck." Paige said with concern.

"Let's go!" Mandy yelled as all the girls hurried to their cars and sped off.



Later that night on Arlington Heights, all the girls had gone to Nikki and Brie's house to hang out. Despite all the issues between the girls, they someone felt bonded by what they did to Colin's car.

"I should have done that a long time ago." Carmella said as the girls got comfortable in the living room.

"Damn, straight." Bayley agreed.

Becky saw Sasha sneak off out side and followed her. Alexa shook her head in disapproval.

"I told Lexi." Sasha said as they sat down on Nikki's front steps.

"You told her what?" Becky asked with a slight smile on her face.

"I told her that I'm.. you know.." Sasha tried to say.

"I don't know. I think I'm gonna have to head you say it. Sash." Becky laughed.

"I told her that I'm gay." Sasha blurted out.

Becky looked over at Sasha proudly.

"When are you going to tell your other friends?" Becky asked.

"I'm hoping I can just walk in with Tessa and they won't say anything. Maybe I can just casually infer to them that I'm gay.." Sasha said.

Becky let out a laugh.

"Yeah.. that's sounds about right." Becky said.

Sasha looked over at Becky for a moment and admired her smile.

"I'm sorry it took so long for me to get here.." Sasha apologized.

"You still have to tell your dad." Becky said.

"I know, but still. I'm sorry.." Sasha said.

Becky looked down uncomfortably for a moment.

"So how did you meant this girl? Are you like hanging out at gay bars on the weekends now?" Becky joked.

Sasha let out a slight laugh, suddenly realizing that she couldn't tell Becky where she actually met Tessa.

"Something like that." Sasha said.

Becky looked over at Sasha and nodded her head.

"Why her?" Becky asked suddenly.

"What?" Sasha asked in confusion.

"I'm not jealous or anything.. I just don't get why you can come out for her but with me you couldn't even-." Becky began to say.

"I'm not coming out for her, Becky. I barely even know her." Sasha assured her.

"I just.. I don't get why I wasn't enough for you." Becky said with a crack in her voice.

Sasha's eyes filled with tears as she remembered how badly she had hurt Becky.

"No, it wasn't like that. I am the one that wasn't enough for you." Sasha told her.

"You really fucked things up for me, you know that?" Becky asked as she looked over at her.

"I know.." Sasha said as Becky rested her head on her shoulder.

Inside, Alexa looked out through the window with an unsettling feeling in her stomach.

Brie has made her way into the kitchen to get a drink.

"I take it that Phil guy is the reason you came back to Arlington Heights?" Mandy asked as she walked in behind Brie.

"Mandy.." Brie tried to say.

"I saw the wya he looked at you, Brie. What happened?" Mandy asked.

Brie looked at Mandy helplessly as tears filled her eyes. Mandy walked over and comforted her with a hug.

"I broke his heart." Brie told her.

Mandy held the back of Bries head as she cried on her shoulder.

"He was an amazing guy and I couldn't let him in because-." Brie began to say.

"Because you still had feelings for Roman.." Mandy said uncomfortably.

Brie pulled away from Mandy and tried to wipe the tears from her eyes.

"Don't give up on, Roman.. He just needs some time." Mandy told Brie.

"And what about you? I know you have feelings for him." Brie asked.

Mandy let out a small laugh.

"My silly little crush is nothing compared to what you guys have. Don't worry about me." Mandy told her.

Brie looked at Mandy curiously for a moment.

"You're the one for him, Brie. It's always l been you.. he just doesn't know it yet." Mandy told her.

Brie let out a slight smirk as Mandy hugged her again.

Int he other room Nikki has gotten out a bottle of wine.

"Can we talk for a minute?" Paige asked Renee.

"Sure." Paige said as Rene took her hand.

Aj watched as Paige lead Renee outside it the back yard.

"I know I have been a shirt girlfriend lately.. and I'm sorry." Paige apologized to her.

Renee looked at Paige in surprise by what she was hearing.

"I started working at the cafe so I could help my dad out with bills at home. He's been drinking so much lately that instead of paying the electric bill he's buying beer." Paige told her.

"What?" Renee asked in confusion."

"For a few weeks I was able to help but then mom showed up asking for money. I know she was using it to go get high but I gave it to her anyway. So I was crashing at the cafe for awhile until Dolph found out what was going on..He's been letting me stay with him in his guest room these past few weeks." Paige told her.

"You never told me any of this.." Renee said uncomfortably.

"I didn't know how.." Paige said as her eyes filled with tears.

"Come here." Renee said as she walked over and wrapped her arms around Paige.

"I didn't want you think any less of me.. I mean my parents don't even want me how can I expect you to?" Paige asked over her shoulder.

Renee felt a sharp pain in her chest as Paige cried on her shoulder.

"I do want you, Paige. I do.." Renee said uncomfortably as Aj looked out front the glass door.

And eyes filled with tears as she felt a lump grow in the back of her throat.

The girls in the living room played the song "Nightmare" by Halsey as Nikki returned from upstairs. When she opened the front door Becky and Sasha distanced themselves from each other.

"I'm not interrupting, am I?" Nikki asked.

"Not at all." Becky told her.

Nikki let out a slight smile and sat down between them.

"I think today actually turned out okay.." Nikki said.

"Yeah, It did, didn't it?" Sasha asked.

"I just wanted say, Becky.. That Seth has already lost Roman.. I don't want him to lose anymore friends, that includes you, Sasha. So I think we should try to hang out more. And I know the two of you have never really gotten along but Seth could really use us friends right now.. All of us. So can we put this whole high school hierarchy behind us and actually try be friends?" Nikki asked.

Becky let out a slight smile.

"I don't think that will be a problem." Sasha said as she winked at Becky.

Suddenly, Seth pulled up in his truck.

"Speaking of the devil.." Nikki said as Seth made his way up the side walk.

Seth stopped and froze for a moment when he saw Becky, Sasha, and Nikki sitting together.

"Hey, guys.. what's going on?" Seth asked cautiously.

All three girls stared at him seriously for a moment and he began to get nervous. They all suddenly broke out into laughter.

"Hey, babe. Thanks for coming." Becky said as she got up and greeted him with a kiss.

Sasha and Nikki both looked down uncomfortably for a moment.

"We were just messing with you."
Becky told him.

Seth glances back as Nikki and Sasha as they smiled at him.

"You guys looked like you were about to execute me." Seth laughed.

"What? Your girlfriend, your ex and the girl you cheated on your ex with can't have a normal conversation?" Becky joked.

Seth let out an awkward smile.

"I don't uh.. can we go, Rebecca?" Seth asked anxiously.

Becky let out another laugh and grabbed his hand.

"Thanks for today, Nicole." Scott said as she and Seth began to walk away.

"Goodbye, Sethie!" Nikki and Sasha yelled at the same time.

Seth shook his head and waved back at them. When Becky and Seth got in his truck she smile over at him.

"What?" Seth asked.

"You know I'm crazy about you, right?" Becky asked him.

Seth let out a dorky smile as Becky scooted over to him. He put his arm around her as he drove off.

"Yeah.. I guess you're okay, too." Seth joked as his heart grew warm.
