Alex sighed. He still hadn't gotten over jack. Alex had been in bed for days; not wanting to face the reality of what had happened. He kept running the images of the past few months in his head jack, the car, Razim and of course Julius. Whenever Alex thought about a wave of anger overtook him. But just as quickly as it had come it would leave and be replaced by a never-ending sorrow. Alex was shaken out of his reverie by a voice calling his name saying that breakfast was ready. Sabina. Alex dragged himself out of bed, got dressed only briefly glancing at his scars in the mirror. He then left his room and slowly walked down the stairs to the kitchen where Sabina, Edward and Liz pleasure who were now his adoptive family. "Good morning Alex" said Liz in her singsong voice "I hope you had a great sleep" "I did thanks Mrs Pleasure" "now Alex I asked you to stop calling me that. We're a family now" "alright Mrs Pl- Liz" "there now would you like some pancakes" "yes thanks" Alex tried to avoid conversation for the rest of breakfast and once he was done cleaning the kitchen, declared that he was going for a run.
Outside the air was warm and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Alex thought that the difference between the weather in Chelsea and the weather in San Francisco was quite impressive. Alex took of at a run trying to clear his thoughts. Alex spent the day running and only returned home because it was getting dark out. He sighed as he went up the stairs and into his room where he showered and got ready for bed. Alex lay awake most of the night going over the same events over and over in his head trying to figure out a way that he could have saved Jack. Slowly he drifted of to sleep wondering if he could ever have a normal life after all that he had been through.
