A/N: New story I'm trying out. This one's based off me and my ex-boyfriend and a dream… it's just based not exact… it's the Alex/Mitchie version… if you're reading my other story, it's nothing like that one ahahaha…. Let me know what ya'll think…
(Mitchie POV)
I was sitting in the living room with Shane, Taylor, Troy, Gabby and Leighton laughing along to The Hangover with them for what seems like the millionth time we've watched this movie when Ryan comes bursting thru the door.
"Dude you guys will never guest who I ran into!" By his heavy breathing and excited tone I could tell it must have been someone famous or something like that Ryan was always going off about things and people he sees.
Finally I answer him "Hard to say Ry." I then proceed to get up to go grab another slice of pizza. Troy speaks up wearing an amused look while crossing his arms over his chest and says "What? One of your crazy ex-girlfriends?"
Ryan starts frantically shaking his head and replies "No dude, I ran into Mrs. Russo" Taylor knits her eyebrows together and replies "What's wrong with that?" , to this Ryan gets more excited and says "So we got to talking and guess what?" Troy seems annoyed and uncrosses his arm making a hand gesture at Ryan and says "Remind me again why we're playing a guessing game with you?" "Ok so check it out, we were talking and I asked her what she was up to and you'll never guess what she said!" Ok I think everyone in the room is just as irritated because we all yell "Will you stop with the guessing shit already!" He seems to not be phased by all of us because he calming says "Dude, she said she was buying some stuff for the house because Alex is coming!" He screamed the last part, and that's all I had to hear. It hit me like a ton of bricks Alex is coming! I think judging by the face of everyone around the room, they are just as surprised. Then finally Leighton speaks up in almost a shaky voice "O My God are you serious?" then Taylor speaks up excitedly "That is so awesome! I miss Alex!" of course, her and Alex were always super close. Gabby looks as if she's thinking and says "Wow it's been what…"
"Two and a half years" to this everyone turns to me and gives me that same sympathetic smile I used to get, well two and a half years ago. I could understand why they're giving me that look, my face must still be in shocked from the 3 words that seemed to have taken over my train of thought since they were spoken 2 minutes ago. "O uhm…" Leighton seems at a lost for what to say to me then Shane knocks her out of her current state and says "Hey it's…" and before he can continue I cut him off "No, it's fine, I'm excited to see her." At this everyone seems uncomfortable, so I continue to assure them that I'm not freaked out. "Guys seriously I'm ok, really… so when's she coming back?" Ryan seems to relax and says "Her mom said she arrives sometime tomorrow." "I wonder why she didn't tell any of us." Leighton ask in a tone lingering whether or not it was the right thing to say knowing Alex was never good at holding her excitement, unless she wasn't excited to be coming back…
There are about a million reasons why she would be excited about coming home, and about one reason why she wouldn't be. This is the place she was born, her families here, her best friends are here, she grew up here, she has history here, it's also home of her biggest heart break and the person who gave it to her.
"Knowing Alex she probably just wants to surprise us all." Taylor does have a point Alex was always spontaneous and full of surprises. Never was there a dull moment as long as Alex was involved.
"It's been too long. How has Alex been?" Normally two and a half years ago if Troy asked that question I'd be the one to answer, not today. Today I'm just as curious as the next person. Gabby finally speaks up breaking us out of our thoughts "From what I know, she's been good, real good actually." I can't help but smile at this and think about Alex smiling that infamous smile of hers, unlike the last time I saw her broken, with tears streaming down her face & blood shot eyes from anger building up at the same time.
"Yeah, she's doing good in school and she even scored an awesome internship with a record company. She's just living her life to the fullest, but then again when has Alex ever been dull?" Taylor adds with a little chuckle and the rest of us immediately follow in joint laughter thinking about how much trouble we all have gotten in because of a little 110 pound girl who thought sleep was reserved for when you're lying in your grave.
"Seems like she really likes it out there." Gabby adds with a smile.
"That's great…" I start but am quickly interrupted by Shane.
"Hey Mitch, if you're not ready to see her…"
"No, I… why wouldn't I be? I wanna see her, you know we used to be best friends?" I say in a knowing tone, hoping all this awkward tension being directed towards me disappears. Surprise, surprise all eyes are still on me so I quickly add… "Things got messed up, whatever, it's in the past. I wanna see how she's doing, what she's been up to." If a pin dropped right now, we'd hear it from the amount of silence overtaking this room. Finally Ryan breaks the silence and says with an overjoyed look on his face "Dude I wonder if she got even hotter?" To which he gets a slap on the back of his head from Leighton as she mutters "You're such an idiot." To which he quickly defends with his hands out "Hey! I'm just saying Alex was hot…" but he suddenly looks around the room at all the irritated expressions everyone is wearing and tries to cover up as best he can "I mean… yeah, Alex in a recording company, that's cool." Nate quickly glances at him while shaking his head and says "Dude you need a muzzle." To which Troy and Shane decide to tackle Ryan and soon everyone follows in an all-out everyone for themselves wrestling match.
That night I laid in bed trying with everything in me to fall asleep, all I could do was to continuously look over at my clock checking for the time, mentally counting down the hours. With every hour passing all I could think was it's getting closer to the time that Alex arrives. Two and a half years I thought this moment over and over, the day when we finally come face to face once again. Two and a half years and nothing. I'm still as unprepared two and a half years later as I was the very first day. Two and a half years later and Alex Russo was coming back.
So what ya'll think? Any guesses? Review…
