"Even when the sky comes falling
Even when the sun don't shine
I got faith in you and I
So put your pretty little hand in mine"

┏━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━┓

Lexi had always been a quiet person. She was
always stuck behind her sister's shadow in other people's eyes but in reality she was her own person.

The only friend she'd ever felt like she could be herself around was me, that's only until Amelia came in the picture.

She never thought Amelia could understand her so well. If she was being honest she never thought Amelia would ever be her friend. In her head they were different —but only in a few things — which the one them was showing right now.

Lexi realized how Amelia was so straight up and always intervened when something bad was happening. Which she could never do. Amelia was an observer just like her but when it came to speaking up Lexi was different.

Lexi was still happy Amelia was her friend because he could talk to her about other things her other friends couldn't understand but no matter how close they were Lexi just couldn't bring herself to tell her everything she was too nervous about what Amelia would think.

Instead she made up scenarios in her head trying to think what Amelia would say which sometimes did build up enough courage for her to actually tell her stuff like the fact she was planning a play.

"So you're like directing the whole thing?" Amelia questioned while the two girls sat in the cafeteria sharing a container with grapes.

"Yeah basically" Lexi replied to her showing her part of the script that didn't have too much.

"I think it a cool idea literally I don't think I could ever put some shit like that together I don't have enough imagination"

"So, is it a good idea? Do you think they'll say yes to it?" Lexi continued to question.

"I mean why wouldn't they?"

"I just think that right now I'm like all excited about it but as soon as they say yes I'm going to freak out and think it's not good enough and I'll just want to like cancel it all..." Lexi rambled on while Amelia listened.

"Lex I read some of it and it was good I promise you'll be fine" Amelia reassured.

"Do you think anyone will even go or even audition?"

Amelia sighed and looked at her friend with a frown knowing she was doubting herself.

"You need to stop doing that instead think how many people will go and how many people will audition and if you need anyone I'll force a bunch of people to audition" Amelia smiled at her and Lexi smiled back.

"Thank you..."

"You know what I forgot to tell you? The other day nate's dad went to question us about who beat nate up but my sad ended up kicking him out but anyways that's why mw and maddy were mad at each other because Alex basically found out everything like literally everything"

Lexi paused and noticed how she knew something that not even her family knew. That's how much Amelia trusted her with stuff.

Lexi didn't know if she knew more than Maddy knew about Amelia but she did. Amelia didn't exactly tell maddy everything because she knew maddy wasn't the best at listening to some type of stuff.

Amelia continued to scroll through her phone while Lexi texted someone on her phone which her friend noticed. She noticed that there was something different about Lexi she carried herself differently like if there was someone adding to her confidence.

"Who is it?" Amelia asked, making Lexi look up from her phone and the curly headed girl was wiggling her eyebrows.

Lexi froze trying to figure out what to tell Amelia.

"Oh uh...no one, just asking someone what they think about the play" Lexi covered up immediately and Amelia nodded and went back to her phone.

Amelia didn't want to pressure Lexi into telling her who it was; she had noticed that she had been acting like that for a while.

When it came to Lexi telling others something it was hard because she didn't know what their reaction would be and she didn't know how to speak up for herself she would just do whatever made the other person happy.

For example Lexi had been wanting to tell Amelia how Cassie was the one that snitched on Fezco but she was scared of what her reaction would be since she knew Amelia had gotten really mad about maddy even considering about snitching on fez.

Even if it wasn't Lexi's fault she was still scared about what Amelia would tell her or do so she decided not to say anything to keep Amelia calm even if it was wrong just like the other stuff she was hiding.

She felt guilty about hiding everything but she was simply just scared of what Amelia's reaction would be.

Later on that day Amelia walked over to maddy in the hallway who was looking at Cassie up and down. The blonde walked away immediately when Amelia walked up to her cousin staring at Cassie as well.

"Is it just me or..."

"She looks exactly the same but hers is like complete chaos?" Amelia finished her sentence and Maddy nodded. "She's been dressing really weird..."

"And acting weird she needs to get her shit together like right now because I swear if she shows up again and looks like the Walmart version of myself again it won't end up good"

"Maybe something is going on lexi is acting weird too..."Amelia mentioned.

"What if they're like us in an alternate universe?"

Amelia looked at her weirdly and just shrugged it off. "Let's just go"

Throughout the week Cassie's outfits got weirder and Lexi became more and more invested in her play. Whoever was motivating her was doing a really good job just watch.

"Can you help me put these up?!" Lexi came up to Amelia who was putting some stuff away in her locker.

She closed it and turned to see her holding a stack of papers.

"What is that?" She questioned.

"Fliers for auditions," Lexi replied, showing her the paper.

"Oh?! They finally approved it?!" Amelia exclaimed and Lexi nodded with excitement.

"Yeah...I didn't tell you?" Lexi questioned.

"No, you probably told your secret person on your phone and thought it was me..." Amelia commented watching how Lexis' expression changed.

"Yeah..." then Lexi paused. "Wait what?"

"Nothing I'm just playing with you let's go" Amelia brushed out her comment and took the papers from her hands.

Amelia had been trying to get Lexi to tell her who she was talking to with comments like that to see if  it just slipped out and Lexi would just tell her but instead Lexi just got even more afraid to tell her.

The two girls went around the school putting fliers up then ended up in the bathroom where Rue walked in to see them.

"Yo, Lex, Amy, what're you doin'?" Rue asked the girls.

"Oh, just putting up fliers for this play I'm doing." Lexi replied.

"What play?" Rue asked.

The only thing is., Lexi hadn't told anyone about the play aside from Amelia and who ever lived on her phone.

"I'd actually love for you two to read it." Lexi mentioned.

"You finished it?" Amelia asked.

"Yeah it just needs some touches," Lexi replied.

"Yeah, for sure. Just, uh, send it to me." Rue said then Cassie walked in again dressed weirdly.

"Hey, Rue-Rue. Hey Amy" the blonde greeted.

"Hi, Cass." Amy replied, eyeing the girls outfit.

"Wait, are you in the play?" Due questioned looking at her outfit too.

Amelia sent the girl a look telling her to stop. Amelia saw the outfit was questionable but it didn't mean they actually needed to question.

"What play?" The blonde looked over to them.

"Lexi's play."

"What do you mean, Lexi's play?"

"Uh, the play that Lexi wrote. "Oklahoma."

"What? The play's called "Oklahoma"?"

"No, the drama club's doing "Oklahoma." Lexi corrected.

"Oh my god. Do I look like I'm in "Oklahoma"?"Cassie panicked and looked at the mirror. "Why would your play be set in Oklahoma? You thought I was auditioning for "Oklahoma"?"

"I haven't read it, so." Rue shrugged and Amelia and Lexi watched.

"Are you making fun of me, or did you actually think I was auditioning for "Oklahoma"?" Cassie turned to Rue.

"Why the fսck would you audition for "Oklahoma"?" Maddy walked in with Kat while they walked over to Amelia who was watching the whole thing.

Kat sent Amelia a questioning look to which Amelia just shrugged.

"I'm not!" Cassie proclaimed.

"Then why the fսck do you look like you're auditioning for "Oklahoma"?" Maddy said, receiving a look from Amelia who was telling her to stop.

"Do I?" The blonde turned to them.

Amelia was about to say no but Kat replied before she could.

"Yes."

"Has everyone read "Oklahoma" but me?" Rue questioned.

""Oklahoma" 's not like a play you read." Amelia said.

"Rue, are you on drսgs?" Cassie questioned.

"Yes."

"You relapsed?" All the girls turned to rue.

"Oh, I've just... Nah, I've just been smokin' a little bit of weed."

"Wait, I don't understand. If you're not auditioning for "Oklahoma," then why do you look like that?" Kat questioned.

"Stop..." Amelia whispered to Kat.

"Like what?!"

"Like a country music star."

"In a good way or a bad way?"

"bitch, you better be joking." Maddy scoffed and then finally Amelia stepped in.

"Your outfit is cute. Are you okay, Cass?" Amelia questioned the blonde who just nodded and walked out the bathroom.

When she was gone Amelia turned to all the girls.

"Don't look at us like that, she should've looked at herself in the mirror before she walked out the house like that" maddy sassed then walked out with kat.

"Thank you..." Lexi looked over to Amelia and she smiled and nodded at her.

"Why is the okay called Oklahoma?" Rue asked, completely clueless of what just happened.

Lexi and Amelia exchanged looks and just decided not to answer it.

"What's wrong with Cassie?" Amelia questioned the younger Howard.

"I think she's just having a hard time being single I guess, '' Lexi shrugged. "And then the whole pregnancy thing..."

"Right," Amelia nodded.

━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━

The next day, which was Saturday, Fezco invited Amelia to his house the whole day since he felt like he wasn't spending time with the girl as much anymore.

Amelia understood that they couldn't be next to each other everyday but there was definitely something else going on with him but she didn't want to ask him fearing that Fezco would get mad.

"Hi Amy" Faye walked into the kitchen in the morning while Amelia tried to look for something to eat.

"Hey Faye" Amelia turned to her and gave her a slight hug then went to open the fridge.

"I wouldn't do that, there's nothing in there at least edible" Faye stopped her. "The only thing we could do is pancakes"

"Do they have syrup?" Amelia questioned.

"I don't know"

"Fezco!" Amelia called out, making Fez rush out his room.

"Am I in trouble or something?" He asked, entering the kitchen.

"I don't know, do you have syrup?" Amelia questioned.

"Yeah why?"

"Pancakes," Amelia smiled, taking a container out.

"You know how to make pancakes?" Fezco questioned looking at everything she was taking out.

"Yeah it's easy" she placed the milk and eggs on the counter.

"Can I mix them?" Faye volunteered and Amelia nodded, handing her the container.

Fez sat on the counter in the kitchen watching the two girls Amelia stepped back allowing Faye to mix everything. Fez put his hand out for Amelia which she took and he pulled her in between his legs.

She leaned back on his chest facing the other direction and Fez leaned down to hug her.

"Yo! Fez where you at?!" Rues voice was heard walking in the house then turned to see everyone in the kitchen.

"Wassup kid?"

"I'm a fսckin' genius, Fez." Rue exclaimed.

"Is that so?" Fez looked up to see her while his arms rested on Amelia's shoulders and she faced rue as well.

"It is fսckin so, because I came up with an amazing fսckin' plan." Rue continued to explain.

"And what would that be, Rue?" Fezco questioned, already knowing it wouldn't be one. Amelia went to help faye who was struggling to crack the eggs but still listened in to the conversation.

"All right, so..." Rue clears her throat "all you would have to do is front me, like, $5,000 worth of drսg, okay? And..."

Amelia paused from pouring in the milk and turned to them.

"Hell the fսck no." Fezco interrupted her immediately.

"Okay, well, before you say no, you kind of have to let me finish, right?" Rue insisted.

"Hell the fսck no."

"Okay, why do you keep saying that?"

"I did not like the way that the plan started."

"Me either..." Amelia commented then gave Faye the whisk so she could mix the batter.

"Okay, well, you have to let me finish the fսcking plan."

"No."

"Yes. You..."

"Hell the fսck no, Rue."

"fսck it. I give up. Whatever. I'll just take my fսckin' business elsewhere. It's your fսckin' loss, man." Rue walked away then out the house.

Amelia then turned to fez with a confused face.

"Should've let little miss genius explain..."

"Hell no" fez replied to the girl's comment which made her laugh.

"What y'all got going up in here" Ashtray walked in.

"Pancakes want some?" Amelia offered.

"Not if she's making them" Ash gave the girl a dirty look.

"Bruh leave her alone I'm making them"

"Fine ima go watch cause last night I left off when Klaus told Hayley they were about to see the baby" Ash walked over to the couch where the remote was.

"Awh, I love that episode, it's so cute" Amelia replied.

━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━

The rest of the morning all of them had breakfast and watched the originals with Ashtray.

Amelia sat on the couch next to fez watching how he checked his phone repeatedly which she found weird but he usually did with when he was meeting Mouse for business.

Only Mouse was already dead so why was he checking his phone...?

Eventually faye walked in telling them there was someone outside watching them.

Ashtray walked out with a gun which Amelia thiught was unsexedaty and tried to stop him but Fezco just told her to sit down.

"Let me just handle this shit real quick okay? So just sit her with her '' Fezco told Amelia who rolled her eyes and turned away from him then to Faye's direction.

Then Ashtray walked in with Cal and sat him down on a chair.

"So first, you come to my fսckin' job askin' all these weird-ass questions like the feds. Then I find you out in front of my house. What the fսck are you doin', man?" Fez sat on the edge of the couch.

Faye smoked while Amelia sat next to her both facing Cal.

"You're free to call the cops." Cal said, making Amelia roll her eyes.

"Why the fսck would I do that?"

"Well, it's either call the cops, let me go or... kill me."

"Pretty pathetic" Amelia commented, making the man look over to her.

"What the fսck, man? What's with your family? Are you all just a bunch of fսck¡n' assholes?" Fez ignored the girl's comment.

"You beat up my son." Cal spat.

"So we just sit outside peoples houses when they beat people? Should've known so when you know nate choked maddy" Amelia snarked.

"Yeah, well, he deserved it, man. He's a fսckin' bitch." Fezco added

"Oh, okay, tough guy...really Amy this is how low you've gone?" Cal scoffed then was hit by ash with the gun. "Ow, fսck! Why did you do that?"

"'Cause you're in no position to talk sh¡t." Ash shrugged.

"I'm warning you. You hit me one more..." Cal tried to warn but Ash just hit him again. "Oh, fսck!"

"Why don't you call the cops?" Ash continued to hit him and Amelia just looked away.

"All right, Ash. Chill out, man." Fez said, noticing Amelia.

"I know you and your drսg addict friend, that girl. You're trying to extort my son." Cal said.

"What?"

"Because of what I did to her friend." The man answered.

"What the fսck are you talking' about, man?"

"You know, the blonde."

"Who? Jewel?" Fez said and Amelia sighed.

"Look, man, I didn't know she was 17."

"You tellin' me you had sеx with Jewel?" Fezco questioned.

"Who's Jewel?" Faye questioned while she smoked.

"What the fսck, man?"

"Out here worrying about your son when you are the one in real trouble..." Amelia said, looking straight at him.

"Do I know Jewel?" Faye continued confused.

"The fսck are we even talking' about right now, bro?"

"Jewel. Jewel. Jewel..."

"Rues girlfriend" Amelia finally told the girl.

"I just want the disc."

Amelia then paused; she wanted to text maddy but knew better. She knew it would look suspicious.

"What disc?!"

"Of Jewel and I."

"Yo, you recorded that sh¡t?!" Fezco asked. disgusted by the thought.

"We're not even worried about all that so why are you here?!" Amelia looked at him with a face of disgust as well.

"I didn't know..."

"You didn't know that you were recording?"

"I fսckеd up."

"You're just now noticing that?!" Amelia scoffed.

"Obviously, man. Yo, who the fսck even told you I gave a sh¡t about this anyway?"

"My son."

"Your son? The one that's in love with Jewel"

"Aw, that's cute." Faye cooed.

That's not cute, man. What the fսck? What? What kind of weird-ass father-son sh¡t is goin' on around here, bro?"

"Let me guess you like beating girls too?" Amelia asked and Cal just nodded.

"I'm extremely confused."

"You're confused. I'm fսck¡n' confused, bro."

"Me too." Faye agreed.

"I don't even know what the fսck you're doin' here."

"Do you mind if I just leave? I'm not gonna say a word about anything, I swear to God. Let's just pretend like... none of this ever happened." Cal suggested but Ash nodded, trying to tell fez no.

"Yo, Ash, let me talk to you real quick." Fez walked away with ash to another room.

"Hi... what's your name?" Faye asked.

"Cal." He replied then looked over at Amelia who was giving him a face of disgust. "Don't look at me like that Amy I could say the same thing about you and him"

"Don't even compare that it is not the same when will you just leave us the fuck alone you have enough problems for yourself and trust me we are none of them were just trying to be free of your perverted ass and your abusive son" Amelia spat.

Cal just looked down and then Fezco walked in.

"Yo, check it out, man. I'mma let you walk up outta here on one condition." He proposed.

"Anything."

"You'll keep your bitch-ass son out of my fսckin' life and my girl, and Rue's and Jewel's, till the end of fսck¡ng time. You understand?"

"I promise"

"Now, I don't know sh¡t about no fսckin' disc, man. That's not my problem. Now get this mοthеrfսckеr up outta here, Ash." Fez looked over at the boy who went to get Cal.

When the man stood up he looked at Amelia.

"I'm sorry for what my son did to Maddy and you..."

"Go to hell" Amelia scoffed and got up the couch walking away which Fezco followed behind her.

Mads <3
Saturday 5:30pm

Do you still have that disc?

Yeah why?

Make a copy right now

Why?

Just do it I'll explain later

Okay...

Fezco then walked in the room and approached her. Amelia put her phone down and turned to see him sitting down on the bed next to her.

"I'm so disgusted right now..." Amelia shook her head.

"He is one fucked up person" Fezco agreed setting his hand on her leg.

"I just hope it's over he has no reason to bother us anymore"

"He won't baby I promise" he reassured bringing her into his hold.

"Are you okay? Lately you've seemed off..."

"I'm good ma, don't worry. Are you okay?"

"I'm good too..."

"See we're good" he cupped her face and gave her a kiss.

They were good. That was a good thing right? Both of them were good.

At least for now.
