chapter 9- alive

                                    

                                          
STOKELEY
                          
holy. fuck.
                          
"billie! i mean— jared!", brandon stuttered out, trying his best to save the disastrous situation. juniper had turned around the second the sliding window had been shoved open.
                          
her eyes opened further as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing, mouth falling open watching billie look through her drawers for something.
                          
most likely a firearm.
                          
"oh my god..", jahseh mumbled, putting a hand to his mouth as he realized that billie could've just ruined multiple things in a matter of seconds.
                          
juniper's eyebrows skyrocketed, seeing billie talking to herself. her eyes were steadily focused on the blue hair whipping around in anger.
                          
"fucking bastard touched my girl. gonna kill that dorito boy.", juniper's eyes stared and trailed after the blue haired girl, seeing her walk down the hall. it was no surprise that she reacted this way, the girl she thought was dead is currently walking down the hall of her very own condo.
                          
"aye! where you goin', smurf. get back here.", brandon called out to her as he jogged in behind.
                          
"june?", jahseh hesitantly asked, touching her shoulder when the house finally fell quiet. her body was stiff and unmoving, hands frozen in the air before they started to shake.
                          
"hey, look at me. i know it's a surprise, we've all got some explaining to do.", juniper looked over at stokeley, her eyes glossed over with emotion and tears. she looked between the two, then to the balcony where the air was coming in with a breeze through the open glass.
                          
"you lied...", it was whisper, barely one at that. if they weren't paying attention to every single movement of the girl's, they wouldn't have caught what she said.
                          
"technically it isn't lying if you haven't ask—", jahseh clammed up when juniper abruptly stood to her feet.
                          
"you all lied!", she roared, the sheer volume of her voice sent them back a few steps, frightened by the much smaller girl.
                          
"juniper, please. sit down and we can explain to you.", she breathed in heavily and held up her hand, closing her eyes to regain her composure.
                          
"i don't want to hear shit. i came here.. to feel safe and comforted. now i don't feel either of those things and i have the strongest urge to murder one of you.", she sneered, watching as the two of them held up their hands.
                          
"we're sorry. june, we are. just listen to us.", she stepped forward, jabbing her finger into their chests harshly to get her point across.
                          
"i have a wedding i need to be at, i don't even love the man!", her angry expression dropped as she looked like she realized she just let off too much information.
                          
"what?", jahseh said lowly.
                          
"nothing. just..", she didn't say anything other than run out the condo, pure fear and adrenaline pumping through her veins. leaving her friends standing there, worried for how to situation was going to turn out.
                          
shark looked at them, ball still in mouth and panting. he had no idea what was going on but still happy. to be oblivious, the grass is always greener on the other side.
                          
"man.. how was that for safe and sound?", stokeley looked over at jahseh glumly after he spoke. the silence consumed them both and for the first time in a while they were both at a loss for words and out of options.

"billie! bro, just wait.", brandon ran up behind her, catching her before she reached the elevator.
