*I do not own any of the characters
I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Kings of Leon - Use Somebody
20 year old Alex took one last look around her empty Upper East Side apartment stopping at her view of Central Park. This is it she thought to herself as she turned her heel and put her sunglasses on. She repositioned her purse on her arm and began walking towards the elevator. As she was walking down the steps of her apartment building, paparazzi started hounding her with questions and flashing lights.
"Alex, Alex! How does it feel to be going back home?"
"How is it to go back into acting after a 4 year hiatus?"
Alex ignored the questions as she rushed into her awaiting car. Once she got into the backseat of her tinted car, she took off her glasses and smiled sadly at her driver Jack. He smiled back at her. For the past four years, Jack has been a constant part of her Alex's life. He was like her father figure through her life in New York. They drove a couple blocks down and turned into an abandoned alley where another car was waiting for her. Jack and Alex transferred themselves from their black suv, to a white suv.
"Are you excited?" he asked.
"I don't know," Alex stated softly, "I mean when I was here going to school, it was hectic at first but after a while all the attention died down and I got to be a normal teenage girl. I got to go to my dream school, get my bachelors degreen in Bio, and live without any makeup artists, stylist, managers, paparazzi or bodyguards."
"I know what you mean darling, but everything will be fine just you wait. You'll be back with your friends, your family, and your career."
Alex starred out the window as she merely shrugged. She wasn't exactly sure how her friends and family would treat her once she got back to Los Angeles, California.
"I'm done, I can't do this anymore," Alex said piling her clothes in her suitcase. She was crying and furiously throwing her clothes in.
"What about your career sweetie?" Alex's mother, Theresa, asked as she sat on the foot of her bed.
"I don't know. I'll talk to them about it once I land to wherever I go. I just need to be away from all of this. From the paparazzi and from this stupid drama. I just want to be a normal person again."
"But," Theresa began.
"But nothing mom. I want out," Alex said picking up her suitcase and walking out the door. She placed it in her car and got in the passenger seat. "I'll call you." With one last look at her crying mother, she put her car in drive and drove off. Mitchie called Alex about forty times throughout her drive to the airport. After the forty first call, Alex turned off her phone and threw it out the window. It was hurting her to do this, but with everything that happened, she needed to get out even if it meant leaving everyone she loved behind.
She let out a huge sigh, and tilted her head against the headrest of the seat. She put her earphones on and just closed her eyes as they drove to the airport. When the car got closer to the airport, Jack rolled up the black window seperating the back seats from the front seats. Alex took it as her cue to begin changing. She changed from her black leather jacket and jeans into a pink hoodie and sweats. She tied her hair up, put her hood and sunglasses on and knocked on the window to signify that she was done changing.
"We're here Alex." Jack got out of the front seat and opened the door for Alex. She got out and latched her arms around Jack.
"I'm going to miss Jack. What am I going to do with you?" Alex said.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine. I will miss you dearly, but I know that you don't need me around. Let the outside world see what I've seen in your for the past four years. Stop trying to hide behind your sunglasses," Jack said tapping the tip of her sunglasses. She laughed as she squeezed him tighter. She took last look at Jack and held her head up high as she walked into the airport. All of her things were already pre-sent to her new LA home she had built so she didn't need to bring any luggage with her.
Once she got into the airport, she saw a group of paparazzi waiting around in a big hurdle. Damnit, the airport I was boarding wasn't released. How did they find me?! she thought to herself. She looked down and swiftly began walking over to the front desk. She checked in, received her ticket, and waited in the lobby next to her terminal. Before she could put her earphones on, she heard a group of girls screaming, three moving targets and the paparazzi snapping pictures and asking questions like crazy.
So what do you think? Review please. Also, if you read "Run" by NostalgicAP, I would like to send a sincere sorry for that story being deleted. Something went wrong with my former fanfiction username. Somehow I couldn't log in and my story was randomly deleted. Again, review please! :)
Oh and I also wanted to add the whole 20 year old with a bachelors in Bio. I know that in real life, it's not really true. But I didn't want Alex's character, and everyone around her to be old so yeah. The back story, she finished high school at an early age ~16 because she was home-schooled since she was a little girl. Yeahhhhhh :)
