Alternative Pathway - Part 2






Stretching her arms up above her head, Francesca slowly opened her eyes and began to take in her surroundings. Everything about last night was a complete blur. She didn’t remember a thing. The last part of the evening that she did recall was walking into the club with Kaycee and accepting the free drinks that were passed her way. There was no questioning what had caused her the blackout. It was the alcohol. The constant free flowing of alcohol being passed her way by the blonde that had her completely under her spell.

Kaycee Carson was mysterious, enticing and also terrifying all in one. Fran was unable to truly figure the girl out, but it was that which lured her in for more. She was dangerous, she knew that; she had been told one too many times. However, it was so difficult to step away when Fran was yet to actually be put in obvious harm’s way.

It didn’t matter how many times Lila or Grace told her to stay away or be careful, Fran was already caught in a knot so tight that it was never going to be easy to untie it. She had feelings for this girl, genuine feelings that were just growing with each day. She could never be sure if they were genuinely reciprocated but for some reason, she let that slide. Instead, she was living in the bubble inside her head of roses and bright colours, believing that Kaycee Carson was capable of holding strong enough feelings for her too.

Rolling over onto her side, Francesca buried her head into her pillow and wanted nothing more than to fall back to sleep. However, the empty spot beside her was enough to trigger awake in her to question where the enticing blonde had run off to.

Reaching for her phone, Fran scanned the few messages on her screen from the group chat with her friends before noticing that her phone was completely vacant from Kaycee.

Morning babe… I hope you’re okay? I’m not sure if you stayed over (because tbh, I was too drunk to remember) but I hope you’re feeling fine… because I’m sure not lol Xx

Fran pressed send on the text message before laying her phone on the pillow beside her. She waited impatiently on a reply from Kaycee and felt a buzz of excitement shoot through her when her phone dinged, signaling a message.

You were VERY drunk. I literally had to drag you home. I stayed over but I had to run. Have a good day x

Kaycee’s reply was vague, but it was a reply, nevertheless. Although it was simple and nothing special, it still managed to give Fran butterflies.

How much did I drink??? I blame your free drinks for that! How are you feeling? Are you hungover? Xx

Francesca wanted to ask where Kaycee had to dash off to so fast however, she had learned from previous incidents that the girl never gave anything away. Kaycee was always hurrying off or busy doing God knows what. It was always as though she lived some secret agent life that nobody was supposed to know about. It was that particular detail that constantly had Grace and Lila adamant that Kaycee was trouble.

You drunk a lot. You wanted a good night, so I gave it to you… you’re welcome :) I’m feeling good actually. Someone had to stay sober to look after you ;)

Smiling down at the message before her, Fran craved for Kaycee to be lying right beside her.

Thank you for looking after me. You truly are an angel. When can I see you? Xx

Kaycee’s reply took much longer to come through this time, leaving Francesca repetitively checking her phone. She felt pathetic but she couldn’t help it.

You deserve it. I’ll let you know x

Those first three words made Fran’s stomach fill with butterflies that she was unable to control. God this girl was capable of making her feel all sorts of ways. She was excited, giddy but also kind of gutted by the vague ending of the message. Fran knew she would seem needy or pathetic, but she so desperately wanted to see her now. She craved her, constantly. Kaycee had become like a drug and Fran was getting more and more tangled in her twisted web of life.

Just as Fran was deciding whether or not to respond to the message or not, another unexpected message popped up on her screen. A frown fell across her face as she read the words…

fran hope you’re feeling alright this morning? You were a right fucking mess last night. You probably don’t remember but I made sure you were actually in bed and asleep before I left. I also put some tablets on the side and some water before you woke up. I knew you’d be feeling shitty this morning haha. Let me know when you get this. I wanna make sure you’re okay? Max.

Confusion filled Fran’s body as a sickening feeling erupted inside of her stomach. Why was Max messaging her this? She’d been with Kaycee last night. Kaycee had been the one to bring her home and even stayed the night. She didn’t understand what was going on.

What do you mean you made sure I was in bed? I came home with Kaycee last night. Maybe you were the one who had too much to drink lol

It was only a matter of seconds before a response from Max came through.

Kaycee? No you weren’t? I was out with the guys and I saw you sat on some bench outside her club?
