Escaping Grace

I had the worst headache.
I laid in bed, listening to Vale move around. She hadn't come in until way late, so I assumed they'd all gone to an afterparty or something.
I sighed, and then rolled over on my back, pressing my hands over my eyes.
"I was wondering when you were gonna wake up. How do you feel?" Vale asked. "Did Andy come see you?"
"Andy?" I mumbled, sitting up. "No, I havent... no."
Vale looked surprised. "I thought --- nevermind." she said hastily, and busied herself with brushing her wet hair. "We're supposed to leave in two hours, so if you want a shower I'd go now."
Shower.
I stumbled to my feet and grabbed some clothes. My mouth was dry and I felt like my sinuses were going to implode. It took a long shower before I woke up enough for my brain to work.
Why would Andy have come to see me? I was pretty sure he was mad at me. I stepped out of the shower and towel dried my hair. I didn't bother to put any makeup on, just shoved all of it in my bag.
"Why would Andy have come to see me?" I asked as I stepped out of the bathroom. Vale paused a split second from her eyeliner, and then frowned. "Um, he left the bar early last night. I just figured he was coming to talk to you."
"No." I frowned. That was weird. "He probably had to blow off some steam." I sighed. "I was a real twat to him."
"Yeah, what was up with that?" she glanced at me in the mirror. "You like attacked him."
"I dunno... I just get so tired of him smothering me, and everything just kind of spewed out."
"Leah," Vale sighed.
"I know, I'm sorry. I need to talk to him, but I doubt he'll want to see me." I admitted, looking at my pills. "I'll give it some time."
"You should. He was beyond pissed off."
She wasn't helping.
"Um, when we get back I gotta run by Dr. Romas office." I threw the pills in my duffel. "I need some new prescriptions."
"Didnt you just get them filled?"
"Yeah, but they messed up and gave me the ones I'm allergic too. Roma wants me to stop by tonight and get the right ones."
Vale swiveled to stare at me. "They gave you the wrong fucking pills? Leah, you could have died! Is that why you were so sick?"
"Yeah."
"Aw, Leah," she sighed. "We'll run over there when we get back."
"Okay," I sighed, and chewed my lip. We packed all of our stuff up, just in time. I hefted my bag over my shoulder, glancing anxiously at the time. We were actually just about late.
I drug my bag out into the hallway, and glanced down toward Andys room. I really needed to talk to him before we got on the bus. And probably Danny too.
I sighed.
"Vale, come on!" I urged. My bag was heavy and I didn't want to hold it long.
"Coming!" she was shoving more stuff into her bag.
"Is that their towels?"
"We always need more towels!"
I smiled, and turned to look as I heard a door open.
I tilted my head as a girl stepped out of Andys room. She was wearing an obscenely red dress, but I couldn't see her face from here.
Did Ashley get laid last night?
I stiffened as Andy stepped behind her, leaning against the doorway at her like he had me. The girl turned to him, and she ran her hand down his chest over his tattoos, just like I did, and my heart stuttered as he grinned at her.
What in the absolute fuck?
She glanced around, and her eyes met mine for a split second before she leaned forward and kissed him, a lingering kiss that literally just, just...
What the fuck?
"What the fuck?" Vale stared at the same sight I did.
I felt my mouth drop, and I just stared.
Did he sleep with her? Why would he...?
"Leah," Vales hand wrapped around my wrist tightly, and she tugged. "Hon, come on we're going." She pulled on me until my feet were moving and she drug me around the corner.
He slept with someone else because he was mad at me?
This was all my fault.
I hit the elevator button.
Vale was staring at me. "Leah, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." I hit the button harder.
"Maybe she was an old friend," she suggested.
"With a kiss like that," I snorted. Vale hesitated.
I slammed my hand into the elevator button, wishing it would hurry up so I could get downstairs before he or that red dressed bitch came around the corner.
The elevator finally dinged open, and I strode inside. Vale barely stepped in before I hit the button to close the door.
I heard heels approach and glanced out the doors just before they closed.
THAT FANGIRL.
Clara.

Notes

Clara returns! And now she's slept with Danny AND Andy.
How do you think the boys and Leah are going to react when they all meet downstairs?
