"Now I just... I can't stop thinking about..." Alex continued.

"About what?" Maggie whispered, acting slightly dumbfounded.

"That maybe there is some truth to what you said..."

"About?"

"What you said. About me." Alex whispered trying so hard to keep her emotions in check.

Maggie gave her a wide, comforting smile. She looked into the raven haired woman's dark brown eyes, a light flickering in them as though life gave her reason to continue. She was the first. The first to know. Maggie was the first to find out, no matter how horribly the other woman hid her newfound sexuality.

"I have to go." Alex said as she got up. "I'm glad you're okay." She finished, touching Maggie's shoulder with a slightly shaky hand.

Maggie put her hand on top of Alex's and squeezed. She sighed and let go figuring that it would be good to let Alex think this through all the way until she could finally say the word gay when it was about herself. Alex continued out of the bar to her motorcycle. She started the bike, putting her helmet on, and left the establishment as fast as she could. As she neared her apartment, Alex could finally feel the remains of her resolve melt away. Once parked, Danvers turned off and locked her bike up, half jogging half speed walking to her door on the third floor. She raced up the steps, her eyebrows arching up as tears filled her eyes even more. Once inside, she closed and locked her door, sliding down the dark brown oak of her studio apartment door. She carefully placed her keys on the ground and brought her knees to her chest, finally breaking. Tears flooded out of her eyes. She couldn't remember the last time she cried like this. She cried her father twice when he was gone then when he we possibly gone. But never had she cried like this. Alex wasn't sad, she didn't feel despair or uselessness, nothing like that. Only an elated feeling. She felt so strong almost invincible, even in her vulnerable situation. Alex sighed and laugh cried.

"I'm... I'm gay." Alex choked out, finally being able to say it out loud. After about five minutes, Alex's tears slowed down. "It feels s-so g-great to say that." She stammered out. Her eyes were red, face was tear stained. She started to end the crying session, and smiled, chuckling softly. She shook her head and laughed. She stood up and went to the bathroom to remove her make up. She sighed and sat on the counter afterwards. Danvers took a few deep breaths and unlocked her phone to call Maggie. She gulped, looking at the number and shakily pressed the blue phone to call her. The phone rang a few times. Alex almost hung up when a slightly gruff voice came over the speaker.

"Hello?"

"Maggie?"

"Yeah. You okay Danvers?"

"Yeah, yeah. I just..."

"What?"

"I think I'm in love with you... and I'm... terrified."

Maggie didn't answer for a few moments. "Don't be."

Alex nodded and smiled, softly chuckling. "I'm gay."

Maggie laughed. "Finally, you said it. How do you feel."

"So happy. So gay." She laughed, feeling her tears come back up. "Thank you for coming into my life."

Maggie smiled. "No problem, Danvers."

"Night, Sawyer."

"Good night."
