finally, suze came on stage. "hi, everyone." she spoke to the crowd. "i'm suze, im the girls mom, in real life. um.. played by ethan! where is he? ethan?"

ethan came on stage, making the crowd cheer as they hugged. "he's going to win an award!" suze chuckled, grabbing onto cassie. "honey, let's go home."

"i deserve this, right?" cassie spoke.

"oh my god. mom, please, mom." lexi begged.

"i deserve this?" cassie repeated.

"stop!" lexi shouted.

cassie ripped her arm out of suzes grip, as suze tripped to shush her. "mom, stop!"

"lexi, i am going to fucking kill you." cassie told her.

valerie scoffed, sure you will. she thought.

"i deserve this, right? because i've actually lived a life? i'm the one who takes risks. i'm the one who falls in love. i'm the one who gets hurt, not you, lexi! you've never even fucking lived! that's why you're able to stand up here and judge all of us! you're just a fucking bystander."

"alright..." suze grabbed ahold of her again, but again, caddie shouted at her to stop.

the crowd booed, making valerie chuckle.

"okay... well, if that makes me a villain, then so fucking be it. i can play the fucking villain."

valerie's eyebrows furrowed as a guy cheered, "yeah, do it!"

"lexi, is this the part of the play where i steal jake from marta?" cassie asked.

valerie's jaw dropped, her eyes wide.

"no, cassie.. that's not in the play." lexi shook her head.

"it is now!" maddy shouted.

"who said that?" suze asked, as the girl who played cassie went to her and started trying to apologize, but cassie shrugged her off.

"wait, hallie steals marta's boyfriend?" a girl from the crowd asked.

"i don't know how many times i have to say this, they were not fucking together." cassie said.

"yeah, not only that, but she was fucking him the entire time marta was talking about getting back together with him!" maddy shouted, making valerie smile.

"no... why?" the girl asked.

"because hallies a two faced cunt!" maddy answered.

"i'm not a cunt, you're the cunt!" cassie screamed back.

valerie raised up, "she better watch her fucking mouth." she mumbled.

"you're the fucking cunt bitch!" maddy yelled back.

as suze yelled at maddy for her language, the crowd all gasped and cheered.

cassie started crying about how it wasn't fair, as lexi walked away and cassie followed while yelling her name.

as soon as they were both out of view, the play continued. "oh my god, yes! oh, that's it! oh my god, i just love fucking everything!"

"no! i'm going to fucking kill you!" cassie screamed, running back into view she pulled the girl off the carousel.

"oh, this bitch needs to be put down." maddy stood up.

valerie gasped, clapping quietly. "yes!"

"no, no, no. maddy! no!" kat ran after her.

"maddy, beat her ass!" valerie heard bb yell, causing her to laugh.

even though valerie didn't want to bring attention to herself, she decided to also go on stage in case cassie wanted to try anything slick.

"fucking bitch, fuck you!" maddy yelled, chasing after cassie who only ran.

finally, maddy caught cassie and sent a hard slap to her face. valerie laughed, "bitch!"

maddy continued to chase cassie, and eventually they went off stage, and into the school hallways. valerie rolled her eyes, but continued to chase them anyway.

valerie's mouth dropped as maddy pushed cassie into the brick wall, bb yelling, "beat her fucking ass, maddy, she fucking deserves that shit, she fucked your boyfriend!"

valerie looked at her with her eyes squinted, before shaking her head and walking the rest of the way, in the direction where maddy went.

fezco sat, confused and feeling bad for lexi. he saw valerie run out of the room behind her sister, he understood she was going to have her back no matter what, it reminded him of ashtray and himself. he just wished more for the girl, than drama and everything she goes through.

valerie walked down the hallway, seeing kat pulling maddy away. she sighed, it was impossible for her to be in two places at once, but she didn't want to miss fezco asking lexi to be his girlfriend, and she wanted to be there for maddy. she didn't know what to do.

meanwhile, rue started shouting lexis name, and soon the crowd followed her actions. finally, the curtains opened again and there lexi stood. she gave a speech, apologizing and other things.

fezco smiled at the girl, it wasn't really a reassuring smile, but to lexi it was. and it was all she needed to continue the play.

the fight moved to the bathroom, kat went and got maddy a cold coke to put on her foot and valerie sat with the other two girls in silence, bb vaping and leaning on the wall next to her.

"do you know what's funny?" cassie spoke.

valerie turned to her, as well as everyone else.

"nate broke up with me before i even went on that stage." cassie told maddy.

maddy shook her head, "don't worry, this is just the beginning."

more tears rolled down cassie's cheeks, as she glanced over at maddy who just stared at her with a blank look. valerie sighed, following after maddy as she stood up.

"um... i love you, maddy, but i really don't want to miss something so i'll see you at home?" valerie asked.

maddy smiled, giving her a side hug. "yeah."

valerie nodded, patting her back before running back to the play in hopes she didn't miss it.

when she walked back in the room everyone was cheering, but there was no one on stage so she had guessed everyone walked off, by now.

"fuck." she cursed under her breathe, walking fast to the front row to see fezco not there. she huffed, but felt relieved as she saw him standing to the side of the stage, it looked as if he was talking to someone.

she hurried over there, standing a good amount aways from him. she got her phone out, recording.

she felt so happy, seeing him happy. she covered her mouth in shock when she saw lexi take a step down and hug him, before they pulled away and kissed.

she cheered, "yeah! holy shit, i didn't miss it."

the two older teenagers, turned to her with a confused look before realizing it was valerie and laughed at her.
