Count on Me (LH)

Y/n's View

My phone rings and I groan.

"Hello." I mumble answering it.

Oh-oh-oh

"Do you know where Lexi is? I can't find her." Cassie says.

If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea

"No." I say.

"You sound sleepy. Why are you sleeping?" Cassie says.

"Bitch, I'm tired, I worked a double. You would understand what that meant if you got off your privileged ass and got a job." I say.

I hang up and I sigh. I get up and go downstairs.

"Where are you going?" Mom asks.

"I gotta go find Lexi." I say.

I'll sail the world to find you

Mom nods and I leave.

I walk down the sidewalk and see Lexi sitting on the curb.

"Hey, Lex." I say.

"Hey..." Lexi says.

"What's up?" I ask sitting beside her.

"I just feel so loss." Lexi says.

If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see

"I can be your map." I say.

I'll be the light to guide you

Lexi smiles and hugs me.

We find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need

"I got you." I say.

You can count on me like 1, 2, 3
I'll be there

"I got you." Lexi says holding my hand.

And I know when I need it
I can count on you like 4, 3, 2
And you'll be there

I smile and she kisses my cheek.

'Cause that's what friends are s'posed to do, oh yeah

Time Skip

"All that to be friendzoned?" Maddy asks.

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

"I just don't get it." I say.

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

"If it makes you feel any better Lexi doesn't know what feelings look like. She's never had them for anyone." Maddy says.

Ooh, yeah, yeah

"That doesn't make it better!" I say.

"I tried." Maddy says.

Time Skip

There's a knock on the window and I turn over. There's another knock and I groan.

I get up and open the curtains. I open the window and Lexi comes in.

"What are you doing here?" I ask closing the window.

"I can't sleep. You need to read this." Lexi says sitting on my bed.

If you're tossin' and you're turnin' and you just can't fall asleep

Lexi hands her laptop to me and I sit beside her. I read the page and raise an eyebrow.

"Is this a play about..." I say.

"Yes!" Lexi says.

"Oh my god." I say laughing.

"You think it's a good idea?" Lexi asks.

"Hell yeah. Imma be in the front row." I say.

"You're the best." Lexi says.

"You mean the fucking world to me." I say.

And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Every day, I will remind you, oh

"I always got you." I say.

We find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need

Lexi smiles and hugs me.

Time Skip

"What the hell is this play about? I know Lexi told you." Maddy says.

"I can't tell you." I say.

"Bitch you owe me. Remember when I slapped that bitch and knocked her out cold in middle school for you?" Maddy says.

You can count on me like 1, 2, 3
I'll be there

"You didn't do that for me. You did it because she looked at you a certain way." I say.

"Well you believed it for 5 years." Maddy says.

20 minutes later...

"Wait, Hallie steals Marta's boyfriend?" Someone asks.

"I don't know how many times I have to say this. They were not fսcking together." Cassie says as I peak from behind the curtain.

"Yeah, not only that, but she was fսcking him the entire time Marta was talking about getting back together with him." Maddy says.

"No... Why?" Someone asks.

"Because Hallie is a two-faced cunt." Maddy says.

"I'm not a cunt! You're the cunt!" Cassie says.

"You're the fucking cunt, bitch!" Maddy says.

"I am not a fucking cunt!" Cassie says.

"Oh my god." Lexi says quietly.

And I know when I need it

I hit the light switch and all the lights turn off. I creep from behind the curtain and put my hand over Cassie's mouth. I wrap my arm around her and pull her backstage.

I can count on you like 4, 3, 2

I shut the curtain and turn the lights back on.

"W-We're gonna need a minute." Lexi says.

"I'm gonna fucking kill you!" Cassie muffles as Lexi comes backstage.

"We're gonna take a walk." I say as Cassie tries to bite me.

And you'll be there

"Thank you so much." Lexi says as I drag Cassie out.

'Cause that's what friends are s'posed to do, oh yeah

Lexi's View; 1 hour later...

"I'm sorry." I say.

"You killed it, I'm so proud of you." Maddy says hugging me.

"Still trying to figure out why the devil decided to take Cassie now but I'm not complaining." Maddy says.

"Oh, that was Y/n." I say.

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

"You know that girl is in love with you, right?" Maddy asks.

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

"What?" I ask.

Ooh, yeah, yeah

"She's always there for you, she cancels plans for you — she does everything for you." Maddy says.

You'll always have my shoulder when you cry

"She always says she not going anywhere and that she has your back." Maddy says.

I'll never let go

"I don't think that's what someone would do if they wanted to just be best friends. But, shit, what do I know? My "best friend" fucked my ex." She says.

Never say goodbye

"Oh my god! You're right!" I say.

You know

"Go get your girl, girl." She says smiling.

You can count on me like 1, 2, 3

15 minutes later...

I see Y/n sitting outside and she smiles.

I'll be there

"How'd it go?" Y/n asks as I sit beside her.

And I know when I need it

"Great, thanks to you." I say.

I can count on you like 4, 3, 2

"I'm the braun, you're the beauty and the brains." Y/n says.

'Cause that's what friends are s'posed to do, oh yeah

"I get it now." I say.

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

"Get what?" Y/n asks.

I cup Y/n's cheeks and kiss her.

And you'll be there

"Oh, that." Y/n says.

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

"I love you so much." I say.

Ooh, yeah, yeah

"I love you too." Y/n says smiling.

You can count on me, 'cause I can count on you
