The Big Secret

Definitely not expecting this

Andrew walks into Lexi's house to hang out with Brent and Lexi answers the door
A- oh hey lex
Lr- hey. I didn't know you were coming over
A- I'm filming something with Brent
Lr- right. He's in the kitchen
A- ok, thanks
Lr- mhmm
Lexi runs back upstairs and goes to her room. She FaceTimes her friend, Tre.
Tre- hey Lexi
Lr- hey tre
Tre- you good?
Lr- yeah I'm good. I just wanted to hear your voice
Tre- we can talk so you can hear it some more
Lr- ok
Lexi talks to Tre for a while
Meanwhile, with Brent and Andrew
A- hey Brent
Andrew walks into the kitchen
Br- hey bro
A- what's up?
Br- nothin much, you?
A- I noticed something off with Lexi
Br- she's fine. She's been like that for a while
A- like what, and for how long?
Br- everytime somebody brings up your name and starts talking about you, she tries to change the subject. She's been acting like that for about a month or so
A- you mean when me and Jaden got together
Br- yeah, actually
A- damn
Br- what?
A- nothing
Andrew and Brent walk by Lexi's room and hear her on the phone. Brent knocks on the door
Br- who you talking to?
Lr- Tre
Br- ok
Andrew and Brent go into Brent's room
A- whose Tre?
Br- a senior at Lexi's high school
A- she's a junior though
Br- your a senior
A- which is how I know what they think
Br- relax. She met him when she had to tour him around at the beginning of the school year. She said they clicked and they've been really good friends ever since
A- that long?
Br- yep
A- why hasn't she said anything about him
Br- we don't talk about our new friends to the group
A- yeah I guess
Br- let's film my but that your in then you can go and hang out with Jaden
A- oh yeah, my girlfriend
Br- don't let Jaden know that you forgot about her for a minute
A- she would not like that. I mean she can barely tolerate me being friends with Lexi
Br- what? Why?
A- she thinks Lexi is dangerous or something
Br- are we even talking about the same person? My sister could never even flick a fly or she would say sorry and let a tear drop down her face  for it
A- yeah. She's sweet like that
Br- I guess. She just seems kinda weak
A- your sister is not weak
Br- no I know. She just could never hurt anybody or anything without feeling guilty
A- she just has a really big heart
Jaden calls Andrew
A- hey babe
Jp- hey. Are you on the way yet?
A- not yet, I'm at the Rivera house
Jp- are you with Lexi?
A- no I'm filming with Brent
Jp- oh good
A- what's wrong with Lexi?
Jp- I don't know, something just doesn't feel right with her
A- I'm sure she's harmless. She couldn't even hurt a fly or any if she wanted to. I'm pretty sure she's apologized to about a million ants because she's stepped on them
Jp- yeah.
A- she's completely harmless
Jp- ok, just get here soon
A- will do. Bye
Jp- love you bye
Andrew hangs up
Br- why didn't you say it back?
A- I'm not ready for that yet, and she knows it. She just still says it hoping for the same reply back
Br- I get it. It took me a while to say I love you to Pierson, and strangely, I was the first one who said it
A- yeah. It's just gonna take me a while
Back with Lexi
Tre- I have to go cause I have to go with my sister to her play, but I can call you back later
Lr- we can just talk at school on Monday
Tre- ok. Bye
Lr- bye
Tre hangs up
Lexi goes downstairs and sits on the couch and puts on the tv
Lr- whew, finally some peace and silence in this house
Lexi watches Stranger Things
Brent and andrew come down a half an hour later
Br- see you later bro
A- see you, bye. And tell Lexi I said bye
Br- I will
Andrew leaves and Brent goes to the living room
Br- why didn't you say bye?
Lr- you know why
Br- you need to get over him. Why don't you just get with Tre or something?
Lr- first of all, me and Tre aren't like that. And you know it's not that's easy to get over somebody
Br- you'll have to eventually
Lr- I know I'm just not to that point yet
Br- I get it
Lr- I'm gonna go back to my room
Br- do you want some dinner?
Lr- I'll eat something later
Lexi goes back upstairs to her room
Brent calls Pierson
Br- hey P, you wanna come over?
P- I'm kinda busy right now
Br- Lexi's in her feels about Andrew again
P- what did I tell you about having Andrew over
Br- I can't just cut him off because he's dating somebody and my sister has a crush on hi
P- you can if it protects your sister
Br- ok, but can you come over. I hate seeing her so torn up over him
P- it would help if she just didn't see him
Br- I know P.
P- I'm coming over
Br- ok. I'll see you when you get here. I love you
P- I love you too bye
Brent hangs up and Pierson comes over to their house
P- hey baby, where is she?
Br- I'm her room
Pierson goes upstairs and knocks on Lexi's door
Lr- go away Brent!!!
P- it's me
Lr- you can go away too!
P- ok
Pierson goes back downstairs
P- something's off with her
Br- more than usual
Pierson hits Brent in the arm
Br- what, she can be moody sometimes?
P- have you ever seen her been moody to me?
Br- good point
Brent and Pierson go upstairs and knock on Lexi's door
Lr- go away guys!
Brent opens the door
Lr- what did I just say?
Lexi throws a pillow at them
Brent backs out the door and Lexi gets up and rushes to close and lock the door
Br- what's going on?
Lr- Nothing!
Br- then why won't you let us come in?
Lr- cause I don't want to!
P- why not?
Lr- why does there have to be a reason?!
P- there doesn't need to be
Lr- then why can't you guys just go away?!
Br- we will
Brent and Pierson leave and go out on a date.
Lexi comes out of her room and finds nobody there
Lr- I didn't mean to actually go
Lexi sits on her bed and starts crying
Lr- I just wanted someone to know I didn't want them to go
Brent and Pierson come back an hour later and see that the back door is slid open
P- LEXI!!
Br- LEXI!! Where are you!!??
They rush out to the pool and find Lexi swimming in the pool. She sees them and gets out
Br- what are you doing? I thought somebody broke in and kidnapped you or something
Lr- I'm sorry. I just needed to clear my thoughts
P- have you been thinking about Andrew again?
Lr- no. He's not the only thing that I think about
Br- thing?
Lr- I'm just gonna go back to my room
Lexi gets a towel and walks back to her room and leaves wet feet prints all over the floor. Pierson and Brent follow after her but she slams the door shut and locks it
They get the signal and Pierson leaves. Brent goes back to her door
Br- Pierson already left and I'm going to sleep! Goodnight, love you!
Lr- love you too goodnight
Brent smiles and let's put a sign of relief and then goes to his room and falls asleep
Lexi stays up for a while and hears somebody come my inside. She realizes that her parents are on vacation and her brothers live a while away and Brent's asleep and Pierson don't home. She calls the only person she can think of before 9-1–1, Andrew. To her surprise, he picks up
Lr- oh thank god
A- what's going on? It's 2 am
Andrew yawns
Lr- I know and I'm sorry, but I think somebody just broke in
A- what!?
Andrew wakes wide up
Lr- I didn't want to tell for Brent and attract attention, and nobody else is home
A- why didn't you call Brent on his phone?
Lr- he always has his ringer off
A- I'm on my way, but call the police too
Lr- ok
Lexi hangs up and calls 9-1-1.
Operator- what's your emergency?
Lr- somebody broke into my house
Operator- are you in a locked room?
Lr- yes, but my brother is asleep in his room and I don't know if it's locked
Operator- do not go check it
Lr- but what if it's not?
Operator- there are police on the way
Lr- ok
Lexi hears the man coming upstairs dragging something on the floor
Lr- he's dragging something up the stairs
Operator- sh
Lexi hides in her closet
She hears the man trying to open her door and gives up. She hears him walking over to her parents room that's unlocked. She hears him go through all of their stuff and knocking things down. Brent wakes up to hearing him knocking over stuff and he locks his door. He calls 9-1-1 as well. The intruder puts stuff in his bag and moves on the the guest room. He hears picks sirens and runs downstairs and goes out the back door. Andrew gets there moments after and tackles the intruder as he sees him sneaking out to the front
A- you better keep your ass down. Andrew takes the bag from him and the police rush over
P- what is going on?
A- my friend Lexi told me she was being robbed so I rushed over here and I caught him trying to sneak out around the house so I tackled him
P- we're going to have to bring you into custody
Lexi runs over to her window and opens it
Lr- don't put him in custody!!! That's my friend Andrew! I called him to come and spoke the place out!
P- we're bringing both of you in
Lr- what?!
The police go inside and arrest everybody whose inside. Lexi's still on the call with the operator
Lr- what's going on? Operator?
Operator- nobody's supposed to be staying at that house
Lr- this is my parents house and I'm still living here
The police take them all into custody and Lexi uses her on call to call her parents
Lr- mom, dad?
Lm- what's going on baby?
Lr- me, Brent, and Andrew just got arrested
Lm- what?
Lr- yeah somebody broke into our house and they arrested us instead of perp who robbed us
Lm- we're on our way back
The phone cuts out and Andrew calls jaden
Jp- what's going on?
A- I just got arrested
Jp- what?!
A- I was helping Lexi out and they arrested me
Jp- I told you she was bad news
A- I know
Jp- I'm on my way
Jaden rushes over there
Lr- I'm sorry for getting you into this Andrew. I should've just called 9-1-1 first instead of calling you at all. Then you wouldn't have gotten arrested
A- it's fine
Lr- no it's not. I should've just left you alone
Andrew's call gets cut off and Brent calls Pierson asking her to come and bail him out and she rushes over there. Both Jaden and Pierson get there and bail out Andrew and Brent
Br- are you sure you don't want us to bail you out?
Lr- I'm sure. You guys have lives. I'll probably be in here until mom and dad get here
P- ok
Jp- let's go babe
A- bye lex
Lr- bye guys
Lexi's parents don't get there in time and she gets moved to an actual prison
