I don't own anything.
Silence by Violet Gilmore
My one shot for Alex and Laura….
It is my first fan-fic…. and I know it isn't really good, but just read it for fun!
Between the Lines by Sara Bareilles… REALLY listen to the song on youtube WHILE reading it.. its just soooooo much better.

Silence

"Just tell me the truth Alex!" Laura screamed at her boyfriend who was just sitting on the ground, staring at the floor. She paused, then sighed, "You know, I'm not going to disappear just because your ignoring me." She said softly with a short forced laugh.

"I know." He said. It came out no louder than a whisper. Laura slowly slid down to where Alex was sitting.

"Its OK." She said. "I just want to know," she paused, not wanting to cry in front of him. "if, if you were to choose," Laura's words drifted off, then she said something inaudible. Alex looked up, regretting it greatly. She didn't look like herself. With tears streaming down her face. She didn't look like the tough, strong girl he once knew… and once loved. Did he do this to her? Did he really break her?

"What were you saying?" Alex said faintly. Laura looked into the horizon, avoiding Alex's gaze.

"I said, if you were to choose, would it be," Laura took a deep breath, then continued, "would it be her, or me?" Silence. Silence was all she heard. It felt as if all eternity had passed, and still silence. Laura choked out a sob. Then she felt his strong hands on her. "no" she said in a whisper. "No" Laura shouted again and jumped up, and ran.

"Laura!" Alex called after her. She ignored him. Silence. Silence. That's all she was worth? Laura kept running until she couldn't run anymore. Silence, that was all. Complete silence.
