4:16 p.m.
"Justin stop it!" Olivia's voice cried out. I saw her run into the backyard as a loud sound that resembled thunder crashed through my backyard. I quickly got to my feet and saw that Justin had tackled Jesse down to the floor, knocking the lemonade right out of his hands. I grabbed the tree for support and watched in horror as they both threw punches at each other, each one making a noise that resembled thunder.
"Stop!" Olivia shrieked. I couldn't speak. Why were they fighting?! Olivia ran up to them and did her best to separate them in the clothes she was wearing. A dress and heels. Seriously..how was she not exhausted wearing those to school? Finally, she got in between them, instantly stopping the fight. Neither Jesse nor Justin would ever lay a finger on a girl. I hurried up to Jesse and made sure he was okay.
"What is your problem?!" I asked, turning to glare at Justin. He moved Olivia to the side and got closer to me.
"Alex, I couldn't just let him get away with luring you to him with that motorcycle of his" Justin said angrily.
"Oh but its completely fine for you to be sucking her lips straight off" I said angrily pointing at Olivia.
"I was thinking about you the whole time" he said softly as he got closer to me and held my elbows. I shrugged myself free.
"Bullshit!" I shouted in his face. "Jesse has been there for me since the whole blackmailing thing started! And you? You didn't bother to ask me if I was okay after that window broke on me" I continued.
"I figured you didn't wanna hear from me" Justin said. He paused, analyzing what I had said. "Wait..you're being blackmailed?" he asked me, his shoulders stiffening as his expression turned possessive. I looked at Olivia's serious face and remembered what she had said. 'I hope you don't mention any of this to Justin. We could kill that newbie in an instant'. Even after all the pain he had caused me, I couldn't let them kill him. Well..Olivia. I know Jesse would never take part in this.
"No" I said stiffly. Olivia smiled.
"Come on Justin" she said tugging on Justin's arm.
"Stay away from her" Justin said threateningly to Jesse as he pointed at me. I stood in front of Jesse and placed a hand on my hip.
"No" I said stubbornly. "You can be with Olivia for all I care. Just leave me the hell alone to do what I want. How dare you think you could just pop up in my life like that and take control after all this time!" I said irritatedly.
"It's for your own good" Justin begged. I crossed my arms across my chest and frowned.
"I think you should stay away from me" I said stiffly. Olivia finally managed to pull him and drag him towards the gate.
"Have fun walking home!" Justin called out, momentarily escaping Olivia's grasp.
"Justin!" Olivia scolded him, grabbing his arm again and pulling him out of my backyard. I looked at Jesse.
"I'm sorry" I said.
"Don't be" Jesse said, when suddenly we heard a loud crash.
'Have fun walking home!' Justin's voice echoed in my head. My eyes widened.
"Oh no" I said and ran towards the street with Jesse right behind me.
