As my door opened, there came in Venus who's eyes widened at the setting.
"Oh gosh. What happened in here?" She asked with her nose scrunched up. I examined my surroundings and clothes were everywhere as well as tissues that were laid all over my bed and some on the ground. My bed sheets were messy and then there was me with my hair sticking up and with dry tears on my cheeks.
"What do you want?" I spat at her and she held her hands in defense.
"Are you okay?"
Sniffing, I responded. "Do I look okay?! Well I'm not okay, so leave me alone."
"No."
I snapped my head up at my sister who folded her arms while trying to walk past the tissues.
"You're my sister and I love you," She t then looked at me with curiosity. "Is it Reese?"
Just hearing her name had pools of tears streaming down my cheeks. Venus gasped at my reaction.
"Shit, you have it bad," She told me as her eyes were widened. She put a hand on my back as I continued to cry about how much of a fucking dumbass I am.
It's already the end of the year and I thought I would be kissing and loving a guy by now but my life has been absolutely chaotic for senior year.
The one isn't a guy. Then I date Heidi and fall for her only to realize that I kissed someone and fell for them as well. I pushed Reese out and kept trying to nail into my brain that I was supposed to be with Heidi until Heidi herself told me that I don't like her.
That's when I realized that she wasn't the one and she never was. Reese Ellington is the one and even though Heidi told me, I've always secretly wanted it to be her.
Ahh the one.
Wait a minute! Eureka!
I got up from my bed and went on YouTube to look up a specific song.
"Nova, what are you doing?" Venus asked but I didn't answer, I continued to do some typing of the idea I had.
As Venus kept bugging me about what I was doing, I finally stopped and sighed heavily. My head turned to Venus, who was raising her eyebrow at me.
"Nova, what is it?"
"I finally found the perfect song for the Talent Show," I exclaimed and she grinned.
"How did you go from crying mess to excited?"
"I don't know but I'm happy now and you need to leave so I can practice," I demanded and she rolled her eyes and walked out of the room.
I think I know how to win Reese back and that's doing what we both love to do.
<><><><><
I stayed on the other side of the theatre, practicing on my song as all my old friends were on the other side. I tried to keep my eyes inverted to the lyric sheet but it was so hard to hear laughter coming out their mouths and then there's me who sitting here all alone.
As I was just about to sing, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw someone I didn't expect to come see me.
Heidi.
She sat down beside me and didn't bother to look up at me and smile as a greeting, she only looked down at her lap.
"I told Reese that I was the one who got her kicked out of Blackwell," She confessed and my eyes shifted towards her in shock.
You did? W–well...what did she say?" I asked her, almost scared that my plan wasn't going to work because of this.
She sighed. "Well she's angry with me but then she told me that I shouldn't regret what I did because if I hadn't sent it to those girls, things would've been totally different."
She was right. I wouldn't have met Reese nor would I have figured out my sexuality, and still be oblivious to love.
I still wondered why Heidi was talking to me as if I hadn't fucked up everyone's lives. "Why are you talking to me?"
She furrowed her brow. "What do you mean?"
"Don't you hate me?"
She widened her eyes at me. "Of course I don't. Why would I hate you?"
"Because I was alone and I assumed you were angry with me," I answered.
"I thought you needed space anyways. I'll admit, I'm quite upset that you didn't tell Reese and she had to find out the worst way but I would never abandon you for that. That's just cruel," She told me and I couldn't help but sigh in relief.
"I think I know how to get her back," I told her and she grinned.
"Tell me everything."
<><><><><
Grinning at the blonde in front of me, I put the phone to my ear.
"Well you seem happy," Frankie stated the obvious.
"Yup! Thanks to you," I told her which had her eyes widening.
"Me?" I nodded eagerly. "How?"
I chuckled out of happiness. "If I hadn't come to visit you, I would still be this lost person and I would never get Reese back."
She put a hand over her chest and I couldn't tell if she was being dramatic or not. "That's great."
"Listen, just for helping me, I want to do something for you." I said.
She raised a brow. "How? I'm basically locked in a cell."
"Maybe you don't have to be locked in a cell," I chimed. She looked confused for a second until realization smacked her in the face and her eyes widened at me in shock.
"Nova, you can't do that. I made a mistake and I have to live up to it. That's why I'm here," She frowned.
"No Frankie. I won't let you suffer here. I know what you did was wrong but you did it because you were hurt and I know that isn't an excuse but you don't need to be here," I explained.
She sighed. "I'm sorry. I can't take this offer."
I pouted at her. "Please! Take this as a gift. You might be saving my relationship."
"I–I," She sighed heavily and then answered. "I don't like this but...okay. But there are some conditions."
"List them and I'm sure I'll follow them."
"Before you do this, you need to make sure it's okay with Reese. I don't want her to feel uncomfortable with the fact that her ex lover and her hitter is out of prison," I sighed. This won't be easy.
"And if she's okay with this, I want you to enroll me into therapy because I want to become a better person and I also want to start over."
I couldn't help but smile at her choice of life after prison. Not a lot of people do this and the fact that she wants to start over makes my heart warm.
"Deal," I told her.
She gave a small smile but had guilt in her eyes.
Stay strong, Frankie. I'm getting you out of there.
