i knew you were trouble
Chapter 5
Elena's P.O.V.
"Dude, calm the hell down!"
Alex grabbed a cup of beer, but before the other guy knew what he was going to do,
he punched Alex in the face. The police came as we heard the red sirens. Everyone was told to leave the beach, except for Jonah, Alex, and the other dude.
Lexie and I quickly left to her house. "Do you want to sleepover?" Lexie said automatically. "Sure." I replied. We got inside and I asked if I could take a shower at her house, so I did. Then I wore her pajamas. Lexie's home is basically my second home.
We turned off her light and just layed in the bed.
"I hope Jonah's okay." Lexie blurted.
I hope Alex is ok.
I shook my head to get him out of my head.
"How about you, Elena? Don't you wish Alex was okay?"
I looked at the dark wall and stood silent. "I don't know. I mean, I barely think of him."
"Oh. Okay...Elena. I'm not stupid."
"What?" I looked to her.
"I know you like Alex. A lot. You're always places with him. And the way you stare at him, you can notice if someone likes another." Lexie said. I took a deep breath. "I don't. I barely know him. And I don't want to."
"Whatever." replied Lexie.
"Jonah is something different. Yeah, he's trouble, but when he's with me...he's perfect."
I wish I was like Lexie. Confess who I like. But Jonah and I...we're off and on. Sometimes I hate him, then sometimes like him. I'm exactly like the rain. When it is falling hard, I am too.
I layed on my side and took a long sleep.
I woke up the next morning and noticed Lexie was gone. I walked downstairs and noticed Lexie was already cooking breakfast. "There you are!" I sighed in relief.
"Yup. Would you like French toast?"
"YES!" I yelled.
"Did you know..um..this is Alex's favorite too."
I took a piece but before that, I glared at Lexie and groaned. "God, Lexie. Alex is nothing to me! Now stop mentioning him. Please?"
Lexie smiled. "Sorry." I smiled back and questioned, "So..Do you think Jonah invite you anywhere that will involve me soon?" Lexie was thinking and replied, "Oh yeah! We have to visit them in Prison."
"I'm not going."
"Ugh. Why? We have to go. I mean...cool experience for the future?"
"It wasn't even that a crime! Plus, I never wanted to go to meet them two, or go to a beach party full of trouble, or anything involved them! I just go to make sure you're safe."
"So will you go to keep me safe?"
I groaned. "Alright."

My mom called me last night and asked where I was and I replied that I was at Lexie's house.
Though, we are off the road to the frightening prison, I borrowed Lexie's clothes. I dressed into her comforting clothes and we left. Lexie reached for the radio and turned the song up. It was the song "I Knew You Were Trouble" by Taylor Swift. "This song reminds me of some guys." Lexie said. I looked up and knew exactly what she said.
"I know what you mean."
We laughed.
Once we reached there, Lexie was talking to the officer and they lead us to their cell. First we went to go see Jonah. "Jonah!" Lexie yelled. "Lexie! Awh, I wish I can hug you right now! Hey, Elena!"
I smiled. "Hey Jonah. When are you going to be let out?"
"Uhh..in about 18 minutes. What are you doing here?! Go see Alex!"
I dropped my smile. I had a feeling Lexie and Jonah are trying to hook me up with Alex. "No. I don't want to see him."
"Why? He got no visitors!"
I felt guilty so I asked the officer and he lead me to Alex's cell. I stopped before I got there. Joha was there. I wanted to go back, but I wouldn't know where I was going. Adding, I am scared these scary dudes will try and talk to me. I stood next to the wall near Alex's cell and eavesdropped.

(the order is Joha first, then Alex.)

I miss you already.
I miss you too.
Are you almost going to be let out?
Yeah, almost.
Surprised that girl isn't here to be with you!
Yeah, sorry about that.
Does she annoy you, babe?
Uh..um. What do you mean?
Like, the way she wants to be everywhere with you?
You don't get bothered by that?
She followed you. It's her fault. I was going to teach her a little something.
Nah. Don't. She's a sweet girl.
You're taking her side?
Well, she didn't do anything wrong.
She goes places with you! And you guys aren't even dating!
She doesn't follow me! I tell her to come.
I was shocked of how much he stood up for me. I decided to butt into their conversation.
"Hey." I smiled.
