Alexandria stared at her friend intently. "No, the plan is still on. Why would you think it wouldn't be?"<br/><br/>Erika seemed surprised, even disgusted. "Wh-what do you mean? Look, girl... I'm sorry, but yesterday I happened to hear you and Keith talk before the party. I heard how he confessed to you! And you just... just brushed him off like a piece of shit!"<br/><br/>"You eavesdropped on us?" Alex hissed. "Look, I don't care what you heard, but that was all a bunch of nonsense."<br/><br/>"No, I don't believe that. I think Keith really sees you the way you are, Alex." Erika spoke, her voice suddenly very stern. "I've never seen you so happy with anyone, and we've known each other since we were five! He makes you happy Alex, and I haven't seen you happy since we built that tree house with Marcus."<br/><br/>Alexandria rolled her eyes, disliking the turn this conversation had taken. "That's not who I am. If you think I acted genuinely around him, then you're wrong."<br/><br/>"He is a great guy and he... he loves you, for fuck's sake! You're treating him like trash. You keep pushing him away because of some stupid, god awful plan that you're so obsessed about!" Erika yelled, her voice growing louder. "I want to see more of that Alexandria you showed yesterday, that happy, amazing, bright, beautiful and fun Alexandria with all her imperfections and insecurities that make her so perfect! This queendom shit has made you as cold as rock!"<br/><br/>Alexandria trembled in anger. "It's not some shit, okay?! And no, he doesn't love me, he barely knows me! What does he know about me, huh? What do you know about me? Nothing. You don't know squat about my imperfections or so-called insecurities. Don't fucking act like you know me better than I know myself! The plan is still on, he's just acting like a goddamn puppy who falls in fucking love at the first sight of kindness. It's fucking pathetic and ridiculous and you know it yourself."<br/><br/>Erika looked like she was about to cry. The mug she was holding was trembling. "Don't do this to him. He loves you. He is so good for you. Alex he would do anything for you."<br/><br/>"As it should be." The blonde replied coldly. "I'm the queen after all. He thinks I'm such a wonderful person. His thoughts are full of shit, just like you right now. Nobody calls me nice. I'm not fucking nice. I'm the baddest fucking bitch in here and there is no way some complete loser like him is going to make me change anything. No one will. If you don't like it, then go fucking die."<br/><br/>Erika stared at her friend in utter disbelief, tears gleaming in her eyes. She couldn't recognize her friend anymore. Having seen the warmer side of her last night, the one she had lost when they had started their studies and Alexandria had begun her music lessons, she couldn't bear to lose sight of the real Alexandria again. It had happened once, when they had both been eight and she swore to herself she wouldn't let it happen again. However, the blonde seemed determined to stay inside her ivory tower.<br/><br/>"You really are your father's girl." Erika sobbed. "You are so... obsessed with power and glory. So obsessed with money and cold, lifeless things. I want you back, Alex. Please, you're my best friend. I've dealt with this part of your for years and now that I see there's someone who could potentially change you... I want you to come back."<br/><br/>Alexandria looked away from her friend, annoyed by her words. "If you don't like the way I am, you're free to fuck off." She spoke, her voice trembling from anger. "I don't need you. Just like Keith and Marcus, you're all disposable to me. I intend to break him, because he deserves it. Because it's what I do and will always do. If you like Keith so much, perhaps you should be with him, then? I don't need a boyfriend. Or a best friend. Power and money is just fine."<br/><br/>Erika had had enough. She got up and strode to the doors, disgusted with her friend's behavior and unable to hear more. "I will tell him everything! I'll never let you ruin him!" Erika threatened once she was at the doors.<br/><br/>"Get out. You tire me." Alexandria snapped. "Consider yourself out of the entourage. Your loyalty is questionable at the very least."<br/><br/>"You're fucking insane." Erika snarled before pushing the doors open and hurrying out, tears in her eyes.
