Café 159:
Alexa bit her lips as she walked limply upstairs to change her clothes. When she reached the top, she heaved a sigh of relief. No one asked what happened, they all seemed to be pretty shocked to see her in that state.
She shoved a hand in her pocket and took out her phone. Stephanie messaged her if she got home and so she replied yes and charged her phone.
Meanwhile downstairs, everyone got back to their food as if nothing happened but Leo and Ethan knew that their parents were wondering about what happened to Alexa.
When Alexa came down, she was in her pyjamas but her face was full of scratches and bruises.
She sat on the available chair while her mother placed a plate for her on the table. Everyone was quiet and, Alexa was starting to feel anxious.
"Mom, Leo's girlfriend beat me up. I was just protecting Stephanie since Cassie asked one of her friends to slap her."
