Chapter 5: Shameless

Welcome to Amiss

Zoë had to rush home quick

"Why did I agree to this? Why the hell did I freakin agree to this?" Zoë was contemplating everything that lead up to this point

Zoë's right arm was bleeding and she wanted to get back to the school before she would pass out of blood loss

Once she made it to the school she stole a box of cigarettes from a guy who was walking by

"Hey you have to buy those." The guy says

"I need to be drunk and high in order to deal with this right now." Zoë says

Zoë get's into her room and wraps up her arm using an emergency medical kit in her room

"Calm down calm down." Zoë says to herself breathing in and out slowly

Flashes of what happens comes to her and she really tries to think if telling Erika is the right thing to do

'Should I tell Erika I mean she will break up with him for sure but he might kill me. I-.... I don't want to ruin anything, But I also don't want Erika to keep on believing that her boyfriend is so innocent and truthful.' Zoë thinks to herself falling face first on her bed

Zoë looks and the bottle and then at a mirror facing her bed

"Addiction or no addiction I am gonna handle this like the good civilized adult I am." Zoë says to herself hitting her head against her pillow

Meanwhile,

Alison was with a few of her friends walking around the college

"Tamika It's not right to ditch class I'm only walking around the school because I have no classes" Alison says

"Well too damn bad plus I wanted to drop a rose off by Catalina's shrine... Such a shame that she had to leave her boyfriend alone may she rest in peace." Tamika says and made Alison's eyes go wide

"Wow she had a boyfriend who would've knew?" Alison asks

"Um yeah you know that hot bad boy...Yo i just forgot his name while I was thinking of him.Shit." Tamika curses

"A bad boy? Do you have a more vivid way of describing him?" Alison asks more concerned

"His quirk was werewolf and that's all I know." Tamika says

'There is no way Zachary is cheating on Erika- like..... come on.... but,' Alison thinks

"Did his name happen to be Zachary?" Alison asks and Tamika's had a light bulb light up in her mind

"Yes that's his name but I think it was a stupid rumor going around." Tamika says

"Who did you hear this rumor from?" Alison asks and the two make it to Catalina's shrine

"A few girls were walking by and I overheard their conversation. Poor Zachary," Tamika says and places the flower on Catalina's shrine

Alison just looks at her and at the smile on Catalina's picture

'I always thought you was a good person.' Alison thinks

"Well cheetah girl now that the sentimental stuff is over come on, let's go somewhere, and do something stupid." Tamika says grabbing Alison's hand

Tamika was leading Alison somewhere when the two heard multiple things breaking

"Holy shit what was that?" Tamika cursed

"Sounds like someone raging over losing a game let's not go near them." Alison says

Suddenly a scream comes from the room and Alison recognizes that scream

Alison goes to the door she hears it from

"This is Zoë's room." Alison says and knocks on the door

"Hey Z bear are you okay? I hear yelling." Alison says

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!!! I don't want to hurt you." Zoë yells at Alison

"Your hurting me right now for not letting me see your face. Maybe I can help." Alison says

"No you can't….I'm addicted to acohol okay and I try my best to stop but it just happened again please don't leave me." Zoë says and starts banging something on the door

Alison looks and sees Tamika on the phone

"I'm calling Erick." Tamika mouthed those words

"Hey Zoë calm down okay I'm not gonna break up with you. Please just let me in." Alison says

"Okay but just don't look at me." Zoë says and Alison does just that

Zoë opens the door and Tamika was just looking at her in pity

"My eyes are closed." Alison says

"Now talk." Alison continues in an almost demanding voice

Tamika took pictures of Zoë who had Acohol stains on her neck and shirt while blood stains on the bandage her arm was wrapped in

'Man this is about to go viral but wait I need more than just this I need to get everyone but I can't let them know it was me.' Tamika thinks and saves the photos she took

Erick than arrived

"Hey Tamika what happened- WOAH!!" Erick says in a pretty loud voice

That made Alison turn to look at him

Alison looks at Zoë and she thought that she would just cry by looking at her

"I told you not to open your eyes." Zoë says

"Oh my god what the hell happened to y-" Alison stopped when Zoë just lashed out on her

GET THE HELL OUT!!! GET OUT AND STAY AWAY FORM ME!!" Zoë yells

Alison does that not wanting to make her even more mad

Zoë slams the door

"Yo I'm sorry Ally. But still damn she look like she had a hard knock life." Erick says

"Just don't talk to me." Alison says

"But you have to admit girl look like she's been drinking since high school." Erick says and Alison slaps him

"Don't you dare talk about my girlfriend like that. Grow some balls and learn when to respect women because this one here is going through so much right now and you have the nerve to make fun of her." Alison says and the two were taking a back from that

Erick was about to say something back but Tamika stopped him

"Erick your ass just got KO'ed by the quiet kid she's an ultimate predator don't make it worse for yourself." Tamika says

"Not my fault if I wanna be shameless today." Erick says

Then why don't you take your shameless ass and go to hell-" Alison says getting in his face

"Alright alright stop this Alison just unleashed her final move your not even skull and bones anymore your ashes." Rebecca says and the two separate

"What is going on?" Rebecca asks

"Zoë looks like a drunk whore-" Erick couldn't continue because Alison kicked him in the balls

Erick was on the ground in pain

"Zoë has an alcohol addiction and she's not okay right now." Tamika says pointing with her thumb

"Oof. Sorry but how do we get her to calm down?" Rebecca asks crossing her arms

"We're trying to find a way to help her." Tamika says

"I just don't want anything to happen to her beca I love her." Alison says and then walks up to the door

"This is a romance? I didn't know a genre can change so quickly." Erick says

"I love you Zoë I always will. So what if I don't say it sometimes cause i'm scared you won't reciprocate that…. but right now I just want you to come out so I can say it to your face." Alison says with her fist against the door

Zoë unlocks the door and opens it

Zoë put on a white shirt

"I love you too." Zoë copies and the two hug

"How did this all happen?" Rebecca asked

"I drink alcohol to numb the pain. That was on my arm." Zoë says

Erika was walking over to them

"Where did the scratch marks come from?" Rebecca asks

"From Zachary." Zoë answers and Erika stops walking when she heard those words

'Oh god what did I miss now' Erika thinks

"I found out that Zachary cheated on Erika with Catalina. So I threatened to tell y'all but he grabbed my arm and accidentally hurt me-" Zoe was interrupted

"What?" Erika asks looking at them with disbelief

Erika walks closer to them

"I don't know if she should really continue-" Erika interrupted Rebecca

"Shut up and tell me everything." Erika demands in a serious tone

Um… I just remember this

"No Catalina I can't your bullshit anymore I love Erika, I want to be with her, have sex with her, and stay with her not you," Zachary says

"But baby if you stop this now just know you will never get with me again," Catalina says

"I rather stop this fake relationship than ruin the one I already have," Zachary says

"Yeah I also heard a rumor that Zachary was with Catalina and that he lost his virginity to her." Tamika says and that straight pissed her off

"Okay that's enough." Erick holds his stomach and tries his best to get off the ground

"Erika don't go crazy okay please calm down." Erick says

"No I'm totally fine, super fine…. nothing wrong at all." Erika says backing away from them and walking away

Erika was walking with her hands in her pockets

Erika decided to text Zachary

"Zachary can we talk." Erika texts

"Uh sure I'm at my dad's house let me come back." Zachary texted back

"I want to talk in my room." Erika reassure Zachary

Later in the day

"Hey Erika you wanted to talk to me." Zachary says and noticed that the lamp was on

"So Zachary you wanna explain to me why Zoë and Tamika told me that you fucked with Catalina." Erika says with attitude and Zachary knew he was screwed
