ALEX

Red.

It's all I can see.

Hear.

Feel.

I've been betrayed by someone I thought was my friend. Someone I didn't think would hurt me, but this entire time - this ENTIRE TIME - he's been lying to me. He told me she changed her mind and went willingly with her aunt. All this time it's been bullshit. Bullshit that I've believed.

I feel like hitting him again, but someone holds me back. I think it's Corey. Or maybe a stagehand. Jordan has Sean against him, and Marty stands between us, extending his arms, trying to keep us apart.

"Guys!"

"You told her to stay away from me!" I yell, not bothering who hears, not bothering that everyone is watching me lose my shit. I don't care anymore. I don't give a fuck if the entire world sees this. "All this time it was your fault! All this fucking time!"

"I did you a favor!" Sean points at Autumn. "She would've held you back! You wouldn't be here if you'd run off with her. You would've been playing clubs - "

"I don't care!"
