This is a spoiler of Departure. DISCLAIMER- characters not
mine and some of the dialogue in here is from the actual show, so that's there.
Only Alex's thoughts are mine.
Is…is
everything real? Am I real? What's going on with me? Alex thought to
himself. No…Tess…she…she did this to me. So what's real and what's fake and
what's real? Was prom real? Yes I know prom was real. That bitch couldn't have
manipulated my feelings for Isabel. Were her feelings real? I think they were.
I hope they were. Please God let them be real. But why did she do that? Why did
she send me to Las Crusias? Alex sat on his bed. His mind was flushed and
in pain. His hands shook and ran threw his jet-black hair grabbing it. Thoughts
swarmed his head. Two months…she warped me for two months. I didn't want to
do that book. I know that Izzy wants to go back but I love her. Maybe that's
why…no! I didn't go there to decode the book! Tess sent me! I…I have…I have to
tell her to fix me no. that'll make it worse… My…I can't take it anymore. He
got up took his keys and walked out the door. He drove to Kyle's house. When he
arrived he stormed in the door and went striate to Tess's room.
"You did
this to me. You sent me to Las Cruisas!" Alex started crying hysterically. Tess
was trying to hold him to calm him down. Make it stop…make it stop…Kyle
came in.
"Alex, Alex
let me fix your mind you're not thinking straight!"
"You mind
warped me for two months, to decode that silly book for you and now
there's…there nothing left for you to mind warp. You destroyed my mind! How
could you do this to me…?" More tears. Why did she do this? It hurts…god why? Make it all stop! Make her
go away! Isabel!
"Kyle
get help!" Tess ordered.
"What's
going on?" Kyle was totally clueless, unfortunately for Alex.
"I might as
well be dead!" Please…I… I don't have a mind anymore... I…I can't see…
God…why would you let me suffer like that? I love Isabel but…I did do this for
her…No! Stop thinking that! Tess SENT you there! She destroyed you! And the
relationship with you and Izzy!
"Calm
down."
"Kyle is
right. Just calm down Alex calm down!" Alex tried to struggle away from her.
"You can't
do this to me! You can't mind warp me! You can't mind warp me!" Tess started
using her power. Alex could feel her ripping threw his brain. The pain was too
much. "No! No! NO!" he fell over as death came over him. Isabel…
Where am
I? The pain is gone. Hello? Oh my God. Alex was looking down at his dead
body. Tess and Kyle were standing over him.
"Come on
Kyle," Kyle reached down and picked up his body.
What are
you doing Kyle!
Kyle
pulled his body out the door. Alex followed.
"There's
your duffle," Kyle said.
No! She
warped him too!
"Thanks
Kyle,"
"Do you
want me to come with you?"
"No I can
handle this," Tess climbed into the car next to Alex's body. Alex looked at
himself. He still looked alive. Maybe he was. Tess drove for half and hour and
stopped getting out of the car. "Bye Alex. Thanks for your help." With that she
left sending the car into an eighteen-wheeler.
Crashdown
"No!" Maria ran out the doors and
into Liz. Alex watched Isabel carefully as Sheriff Valenti told the group the
news. She immediately started crying.
I'm here
Izzy. I'm not gone. I'll come back.
Graveyard
Isabel
sat on the grass looking at the gravestone.
"You're not
even real. You're just a figment of my imagination,"
"Then you
should really listen. It's coming from within you. Go home,"
"I was a
terrible person where I came from. I betrayed my family and planet. What is
home? Half is from here, and half is from there. What makes one half more
important than the other?
"That's
what you have to figure out,"
"Yeah," I
am real. Alex wanted to tell her. But he wasn't allowed. There was a long
silence. "Alex, that night at prom when we danced…it was one of the best nights
of my life and I never got to tell you that."
Alex
thought for a moment. I love you Izzy. Screw the rules. Alex placed his
hand next to her cheek. "My lady." Isabel took it and they danced. God
Isabel…I love you so much. I'm sorry Tess hurt you. She'll get hers. Don't
worry.
"I
love you," he said. She didn't hear him, but she knew. He had told her before.
